Our first month ttc our first

@rosiej95 I get it. When AF arrives for me I'm so gutted and angry but then i use my AF time to just get some head space from it and start fresh when finished.

I'm going into my 4th cycle and as you say, I know that's not long in the grand scheme of things but it feels it!! Xx

Sorry to hear that @rosiej95 ❤️ it's just such a stressful process isn't it.

AF has just ended for me.. we go again 😅 we were just talking about it and are going to try and have sex everyday of the fertile window. I'm shattered just thinking about it 😂🙈

Sorry to hear that @rosiej95 how you feeling?
AF on her way out but probably won't ovulate for another 19ish days so much waiting!

@rosiej95 any update? Xxx

Omg @rosiej95 😱🤞🏽 keeping everything crossed and thinking positive thoughts for you!

@maudesid it's super interesting! Have a google. I've found some brilliant guidance on it. All about the positive energy and putting it into the universe.

@Amy259 it's just impossible to stay relaxed isn't it! When it's something you want so bad! Xx

@maudesid yes fingers crossed my cycle is just like a normal one and there are some early October babies on the horizon haha. I don’t get how people can be relaxed about it either, but I think I’m maybe just really impatient?? It’s like now we’re ready for it, I want it just to happen now thanks 😂

@beckyBP glad you’re feeling better, on to the next cycle! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@rosiej95 ahh that’s exciting, I’ll keep everything crossed for you! When is af due?

Oh wow @rosiej95 that is so exciting, definitely wait a few days (if you can!) but sounds like it could be...

@beckyBP how do you manifest? My friend always talks about putting things to the universe to make them happen, I may have bought a moonstone necklace and am quietly considering acupuncture.. I'm honestly so interested in how anyone calmly goes about ttc?! I've lost the plot!

I'm fine now! Thanks for asking ladies.
I've decided to start manifesting it so thats my plan!

Hope you're all ok?!

Xx

This bit is rubbish because you're just waiting with nothing going on but the tww is rubbish because you're constantly looking for symptoms and googling and obsessing! God I'm sure people led me to believe that ttc was fun?! Anyone having fun yet?! hahaha

@Amy259 so sorry about your chemical pregnancy that must have been really tough, I hope your cycle settles and we can both be good to go early October haha

@rosiej95 when will you test?

@maudesid ahh my app is guessing around 7th/8th October so we can be buddies at least! Assuming my cycle isn’t all messed up this time because of the chemical pregnancy. Feels so long to wait, I can’t decide which is worse - this bit or the tww!

@Amy259 yep I came off the pill in Feb after 11 years but only decided to start ttc in August and cycles have been between 32 and 45 days mostly around 34, this month was the first I got positive OPK's but didn't manage to dtd so I knew it wouldn't happen this month. I ovulated CD21 this month like you say it is frustrating because you have to wait longer to try again! I won't ovulate until around 6th October now (fingers crossed no longer!)
I work with young children so literally surrounded by babies and pregnant mum's all the time!

@maudesid sorry to hear that - it’s the worst, isn’t it? I feel like there are pregnancies/babies everywhere and I can’t help but feeling sad. My brother-in-law and his wife are starting to try too and weirdly I feel pressure because of that too!

I saw you have long cycles, mine are quite long too and I’ve been ov around day 19/20 which feels like a year away when af arrives. So much waiting at every point in the journey!

So I took a test because apparently I believe in miracles now!.. obviously BFN which I knew but still disappointed.
Whilst I was in town I had to buy a present for a newborn and then sat next to a lady with her mum and new baby in the cafe, couldn't help feeling a little rubbish!

@beckyBP I'm so sorry this wasn't your month how are you feeling?

@RLou3 the day of your 30th birthday would be pretty special now wouldn't it!! Crossing all limbs for you haha will you have a drink for your birthday? I've had the odd one.

CD35 and AF still isn't properly here after I thought she was Saturday just the odd spot and I'm now wondering if you can get pregnant DTD 7 days before ovulating?! I think I'm going mad hahaha

Welcome @sunshinecitrus1 and @Amy259 nice to 'meet' you!

@sunshinecitrus1 I feel like I should be all googled out by now but every day I find something new to ask it!

@RLou3 ahh thank you, it’s so nice to speak to people who are in the same headspace! My DH is just as keen, especially after last month, but doesn’t get how fine an art it seems to be so would probably think I was nuts if he saw the extent of my googling haha. I’m certain it was the preseed that helped - I never notice much ewcm so I think maybe I needed the extra help.

@Amy259 hey!! Of course you can join! This will be my second month TTC #1. Sorry to hear what you’ve just been through, so horrible!! 😔 xx wishing you the best of luck for this next cycle. We can all hold each others hands through this!!! I’ve also heard lots of times about preseed! I’ll defo be giving that a go this month!!!

@sunshinecitrus1 well I was adamant that I was pregnant during my last cycle! The mind and body definitely plays tricks on you when you’re so desperate! I literally had a note pad and wrote day by day my symptoms 😂😂 so that I could compare against for any future cycles. I’ve well and truly lost it and hoping my husband doesn’t find that note book - he thinks I’m being too regimental about it and doesn’t have any idea about the note book....

@beckyBP how you feeling hun? Xxx

@Amy259 Oh I am only 3dpo and I am already getting impatient lol! I am constantly on google at the moment, I can’t help myself lol. I only came off the pill at the end of August though so I am wondering whether that will affect anything. My body needs time to adjust after all but you never know I guess 😊

@rosiej95 That’s the thing isn’t it, you don’t want to put too much pressure on TTC or no doubt it will turn into more of a chore which of course nobody wants! I am exactly the same as you though, I am completely playing it cool with my OH but behind the scenes my search history is ridiculous lol! Hopefully the temp gun does the trick, will save you buying another thermometer 😊 Will this be your first child?
