Anyone else first month ttc?

Hi guys.

I’m new here, I’m 29 (30 in May) and my boyfriend is the same. We had decided to start ttc in June time 2021 but over Christmas we both decided to ‘roll the dice’ once before and started having unprotected sex this month. I came off the pill in October time as I didn’t get on with it AT ALL.

I use Clue but only had two afs before this cycle so not sure how long my cycle actually is. We dtd most days over when the app said I was most fertile and it aligned with the cm too. I’m dry not (tmi) so I assume I’m passed it now!

With a 30 day cycle I had last month I’m due af on the 22nd but with and 35 day one (which I used to have before the pill I’d be ov around today but cm isn’t having that, well dtd anyway just in case. Then wouldn’t except af until the 27th. I’m willing it not to arrive and have decided to not even contemplate a test until the end of the month if af hasn’t arrived.

Just wondered who else is trying and in the first few months? I can’t help but reading everything I can find about early signs and feel like when we start trying properly in the few months I might go crazy!!

How are you finding it?

Have you tested @Grace185 Grin

ALittleOCD · 24/02/2021 06:29

@leigha22 I was due yesterday.. still nothing today but still testing negative so who knows what's going on

Hi guys! Brand new to the site, I hope you don’t mind me joining in

I’m 27, almost 28 and ttc #1, this will be my first month officially trying, my partner and I have never used protection and it’s never happened for us in 6 years, so I’m a little apprehensive, BUT, we weren’t super proactive with our baby dancing previously, I’ve given up smoking (a year or so now) and dropped some weight (down to 22.9 bmi, so in the ‘recommended’ area) so I’m hopeful!!

pizzaobsessed · 23/02/2021 19:02

@Grace185 I'm due on today. Think I'll test again on Thursday if I've not come on but I'm not holding out much hope!

mrssunshinexxx · 23/02/2021 18:45

I'm due Sunday / Monday too from ovulation but I don't even know if I will get a period as haven't had once since my baby was born. @leigha22

leigha22 · 23/02/2021 18:41

@ALittleOCD it’s weird isn’t it! Brain fog is exactly the word I was looking for. I felt really nauseous this morning too but I don’t know if I was just hungry haha. When are you due on? This is only my second cycle after coming off the pill. I had my withdrawal and then my period came exactly 28 days after I came off. If this is my period now then I only had a 20 day cycle? It’s so confusing isn’t it! X

ALittleOCD · 23/02/2021 18:17

@leigha22 I feel the same and same "spotting". Just pink and very watery. Feeling super weird. Like I'm a little fluey but just the brain fog and a bit of sinus

leigha22 · 23/02/2021 18:06

@Grace185 Monday for me! I’ll probably test Saturday though as not sure I’ll be able to hold out. That’s if the spotting doesn’t turn into AF! X

Thanks guys :) @pizzaobsessed and @leigha22 when’s af due for you?

leigha22 · 23/02/2021 17:35

@Grace185 congratulations on your promotion! Hope you test tonight... keeping everything crossed for your BFP!

I’m still spotting but SOOOOO light, not even a panty liner worthy. It’s brown the spotting and very light pink when I wipe at times! I’ve felt abit ‘weird’ today, can’t put my finger on it but only time will tell. X

pizzaobsessed · 23/02/2021 17:05

No sign of AF for me yet today but all the symptoms I had last week have disappeared completely so I'm certain I'm out for this cycle 😕

@Grace185 Congratulations on the job front!

mrssunshinexxx · 23/02/2021 16:44

It's good for wee not to be yellowy but if you are super thirsty I think that's a good sign @Grace185

Grace185 · 23/02/2021 15:25

@mrssunshinexxx nope. I’m having a dilemma when to. Originally I was think of just waiting for af for another few days but also just been upstairs looking at my FRERs haha. So no idea!

@ALittleOCD thanks! At least it would take the sting out if af comes. And if not then I’ll just deal with it, we’ll I’ll be happy, work will have to deal with it haha. That’s a good sign there’s no sign of her for you, fingers crossed!!

ALittleOCD · 23/02/2021 12:55

Grace185 · 23/02/2021 12:40

So today my promotion pretty much got confirmed and now freaking out if af not turning up does mean I’m pg!! It’ll start 1 April and would have to tell them like 1-2 months in. At least either way I’ll be happy!

ALittleOCD · 23/02/2021 08:09

@Grace185 hoping she doesn't show for you!!

I'm on vitamin D. Been on it for a few months because apparently it's good to take to help fight Covid if you do get it.

I haven't noticed any difference really but you never know how your body could respond to something.
