First month TTC

Hi ladies,

I’m new to this and would really appreciate your help. This is my first month TTC. I’m currently on CD4 so still middle of my period. Just wondering what helped you all conceive in your first month of trying and any tips you have. I have clearblue OPK ready and have been tracking my cycles for a which vary from 27-34 day cycles with 2 random 45 day cycles one of them being my last cycle.

Anyone else TTC this month?

Thanks in advance x

So we were sat eating dinner tonight and my DF asked how come I didn't have the same as him. I told him it was making me feel kinda nauseous so didn't want it. He then proceeds to say hum... you have been feeling a bit off for a while... (head in hands emoji) Then goes you could be pregnant. I replied well that is kind of the idea atm... He then goes on to say well have you tested I said yes but BFN :( but explained its probably too early atm.

He then says oh your really quite serious about this aren't you... I just didn't know what to say!!

He does just bumble his way through life. He's very intelligent so has ZERO common sense which usually results in him saying things like the above.

@PineappleSun a huge congrats to you!!

Anybody else due to test soon? Exciting times 😀😀

Dixie1488 · 15/01/2021 16:39

@PineappleSun keeping my fingers crossed for you! :) 💕

Grace185 · 15/01/2021 15:25

@PineappleSun let us know how it goes :)

PineappleSun · 15/01/2021 15:05

Thanks for your congratulations everyone but I think it's a little early yet, I'm convinced it's just an evaporation line. I'm going to go and get a bells and whistles digital test tonight and do it tomorrow morning. I've been having some very AF like cramps this afternoon so I might be out this month yet.

Kittysw · 15/01/2021 14:18

@Annabelle0852 Yeh I'm 100% going to wait until at least Sunday morning. I have never seen that before with FRER ones.

I will try my best to hold off until Monday actually I think that is a better idea. Not convinced I will be able to wait though.

Annabelle0852 · 15/01/2021 13:05

@Kittysw I hope its something for you. Everything crossed. They say wait a couple days and try again.

On my FRER there was a line there (colourless... an indent I guess) when I took it out the wrapper! Didn't expect that from a FRER got to admit.

After my BFN yesterday I'm refusing until AF comes (or more specifically she doesn't...) definitely feeling AF and not pregnant. She's due Monday/Tuesday.

Kittysw · 15/01/2021 11:47

@PineappleSun WOW... defo a line there :) Congratulations. That is super exciting.

I have done another FRER test this morning... I just can't help myself. I'm due AF Monday/Tuesday so wouldn't of thought it unreasonable to test today and I don't know if I see a faint line.

I have to have my torch on my phone and move it in a certain direction. I took a pic but you literally cannot see anything on the pic so think I may be going crazy!!

Grace185 · 15/01/2021 10:45

@PineappleSun exciting times!!

I’m still waiting . Af not due til 22-27th. Not sure the exact date due to coming off the pill but ov happened in line with the 22nd

RadDarwazeh · 15/01/2021 10:37

@PineappleSun sorry pineapple, it is a red dye test you've done!

RadDarwazeh · 15/01/2021 10:04

@PineappleSun I SEE A LINE! Try and FRER red dye one. The lines are more clear and obvious apparently babe. I'm excited for you, pineapple!

I'm still waiting for AF! Due Tuesday.

Annabelle0852 · 15/01/2021 09:56

@PineappleSun there is definitely a line! Congratulations!! 🥳🎉

FieldView · 15/01/2021 09:17

@Eaststreet 🙋🏻‍♀️ I'm still waiting! AF due Monday or Tuesday (depending on which app I look at). Having a 33+ day cycle is driving me nuts!

Eaststreet · 15/01/2021 09:11

@PineappleSun ahh definitely a second line! Let us know when you can !!

How is everyone else? Who’s still waiting for AF this month?

Dixie1488 · 15/01/2021 09:09

@greenfrogs1 I’m feeling the same as you! I’m excited for next cycle now AF has arrived. First proper try next month! :)

@PineappleSun Let us know when you get another test. This is so exciting! 😄

FieldView · 15/01/2021 09:08

Aubyone · 15/01/2021 08:58

greenfrogs1 · 15/01/2021 08:54

Welcome @Aubyone .. really glad to have such a lovely new member to the thread. I too, am super organised so you sound like my kinda girl!

My AF arrived this morning girls so I'm out for this month however I'm not disappointed as I knew we didn't try properly last month 😊 so it's no surprise and I feel fine about it 😊

@PineappleSun omgggg I SEE A LINE! I was thinking of you this morning and wondering if you had tested yet! Are u planning to buy one of the clear digital ones to be sure? This is very exciting 😆

Grace185 · 15/01/2021 08:49

@PineappleSun exciting stuff. Should be barker tomorrow. Let us know how it goes!

Dixie1488 · 15/01/2021 08:39

@PineappleSun I see it too!! 😊

PineappleSun · 15/01/2021 08:36

@Grace185 14 dpo, AF due today. I was expecting an obvious negative so I didn't bother with an expensive one, better get to tesco tonight Confused

Grace185 · 15/01/2021 08:27

@PineappleSun I can def see that! How many dpo are you ? When’s af due?

PineappleSun · 15/01/2021 08:23

Oh god, has the crazy really got to me or is there a second line here girls?

First month TTC
shannonl26 · 14/01/2021 22:20

@Annabelle0852 sorry about today, but your still in it for this month. I’ve got my fingers & toes crossed for you ☺️

@Aubyone welcome to the madness! We’re all in it together here, more the merrier 😀 I will say hats off to you for going an entire month! 😂

Sorry if I’ve missed any major updates, my phone is playing up & keeps crashing all my apps! Hope all you ladies have had a wonderful day. 🥰

FieldView · 14/01/2021 20:04

On the subject of drink alterations, I'm not a massive drinker but will definitely crack a bottle of white open if AF arrives. Biiiiig tea drinker though and I'm trying to drink more caffeine free tea than I am with caffeine.

I think that's why I'm so tired all the time this week!

Either that or it's the crazy erotic dreams I've had. Googled it to see whether it's a symptom but apparently not 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyone else had this?
