Our first month ttc our first

@sunshinecitrus1 lovely to meet you too! How’s your first tww treating you? Longest two weeks of your life and find your phone battery dying quicker from all the googling?! 😂

@rosiej95 hi! Yeah it’s so hard, I didn’t even test that early - just the day before af was due. So she was 5 days late when I started bleeding. Onto the next month though!! What cd are you on this cycle?

@RLou3 Thank you! To be honest I never expected to be like this either but I am pretty much online googling something everyday and am constantly on the Ovia app tracking my cycle and adding as much data as I can! I’ve decided not to buy any pregnancy tests yet just to stop myself from doing testing too early!

@rosiej95 Hi! How long have you been TTC? I wasn’t going to do the temperature thing at first but after reading up on it, I decided it was a really great way to monitor a pattern in my cycles. I bought a thermometer from Amazon that cost less than £10 and it works a treat... Apart from waking my OH up every morning when it bleeps lol!

@Amy259 Hi! Nice to meet you . I’m really sorry to hear of your experience last month. Everything happens for a reason I believe so hang in there and fingers crossed for this month. I am on my first month of TTC and there is so much to take in!

Hi ladies, I wondered if I could join please?

I’m not on my first cycle TTC (just started cycle 3) but it’s quite hard to find people in a similar boat, the early days of trying for our first.

I’m on CD3 of my 3rd cycle. Nothing happened first time, then last month we fell pregnant on/around our wedding day but I had a chemical pregnancy where I had strong positive tests last Mon & Tues, fainter lines Wed and Thurs, then was bleeding by Sat. I was gutted and I am still sad, but trying to take the positive in that we can get pregnant so will be trying again this month, but won’t be testing until af is super late!

I opk, check my bbt, take pregnacare and used preseed last month (which I’m sure helped!!) and already feel like I’m going nuts with all of this and we’re only starting month 3 🙃

@beckyBP really is depressing when AF shows her face! When will be your next ovulation day? Do you know? I'm due to ovulate on 3rd October (my 30th birthday)!!!!! I'm in Essex, shame we're not closer - we could have met for a decaf coffee or non alcoholic Prosecco 🤣🤣🤣

@sunshinecitrus1 welcome!! To this crazy group! Honestly, I knew it would send me crazy - but I wasn't expecting this bad! It really must happen to all of us 😩 so draining! I wasted so many pregnancy tests last cycle! I cannot do that again! I've been doing BBT and ovulation sticks too! Xxxxxx

Hi Everyone!

Me and OH are also in our first month of TTC.
I was also the same to a lot of other ladies in this thread... Trying to be chilled about it but I am already taking folic acid, vitamin d supplements, using LH kits and checking my basal body temperature every morning when I wake up! I swear it turns all of us crazy, I mean how can we stay chilled!? It’s exciting

I am on CD19, I ovulated CD16 and had sex CD10 and CD16. Not sure if I missed my window or not this month, either being too early or too late having sex on ovulation day but I am still trying to figure it all out.

I have only just started monitoring my basal body temperature within the last few days but I did manage to pick up on the temperature spike after I ovulated.

I am trying not to get too excited about everything and trying to stay relaxed as I do not want to get my hopes up but it has turned me pretty crazy already since I started this journey!

Good luck to everyone else on their journeys! xo

@RLou3 @rosiej95 thanks dolls! AF SUCKS doesn't she. And the pain she brings along.. 😒 ANYWAY.. let's go again 😝

I'm South Wales. How about you? X

@beckyBP so annoyed for you!! Symptoms really seemed positive! I was ADAMANT that I was pregnant this month - I had such bad nausea and cramps! Starting to think it was just in my mind. Don’t worry - we go again ❤️❤️❤️ We will 1000000% get there - just hate the waiting. AF in full swing, hope she P’s off soon! Xx also where are you 2 from? @rosiej95 xx

Aaaaand I'm out! Good luck ladies! X

Eurgh ladies.. I'm pretty sure AF will be here within the hour. I'm GUTTED! I had such a different last few days and things like the vivid dreams, early wake ups, change in skin I honestly thought this was it! 😫

@spidermomma thank you for posting, it's so hard to be relaxed about it but I'm sure it definitely helps!
@beckyBP keep positive this might be your month!
@rosiej95 wishing you a quick tww!
AF started today so wishing away the next couple of weeks so we can try this month!

*monsters!!
Haha They thought they would post it before I even finished 🤣

It took me a good year to get pregnant with my first, I did all of this then the moment I stopped making it my main focus and went on holiday I came back pregnant !! I'd just say to make sure you relax ! Good luck op
I now have 3 monst

😂😂 @rosiej95 sometimes I wonder how they put up with our moods! I hope you have a fast TWW!

AF due tomorrow. I just took a test and it was a BFN 😔 it wasn't FMU so I'm still trying to be positive! I've just felt really different this month so think it's made me hopeful. We shall see tomorrow! 🤞🏽🤞🏽 xx

Hey @rosiej95 oh bless you! Well that all could be very good signs!

I've had a crazy time since Wednesday. I've hardly slept.. been awake by 5am everyday and had the most vivid dreams for about 4 nights in a row 🤯

Started spotting tonight 🤬🤬🤬 I don’t feel too bad tbh - because I’ve tested so much - I knew it 😂😂😂 ok this Next cycle, I mean business. DH isn’t going to know what’s hit him! Also I’m thinking my luteal phase is too short. Going to look into that too! Come on girls! Fingers crossed for you all.. otherwise I’ll be waiting for you on the next cycle ☺️☺️☺️

Don't think this month will be our month, still no af even though implant came out on the 11th August and were now in Turkey, I've not been using the opk's I brought but we are dtd every day so who knows 🤷‍♀️

Fingers crossed for you ladies! AF on her way over here which is good so we can get on with next cycle!!

@RLou3 It's just SO consuming isn't it! I'm the same.. every symptom I'm like omg that's it!!! drives me crazy!

Due on Monday! (please don't arrive AF)
