Extremely lonely in my TTC journey

Hi all,
I'm extremely lonely when is comes to discussing TTC as I haven't told anyone that myself and my partner are starting our TTC journey, and are very excited about it.

Me and my partner discuss everything regarding TTC, however it would be nice if I could find some fellow TTC friends to discuss symptoms, O dates etc as he looks at me with a bit of a blank face 😶 when I discuss with him, he try's to understand but if I'm honest I don't understand myself so I'm not very good at explaining

And more importantly to celebrate everyone's BFP's when they arrive 🤞🏼👶🏼

Baby dust to all x

Hey :) yeah I keep finding myself wanting to tell friends but I’m not going to for ages, only if we find it hard to get pg as I have a few friends who took a while so would go for them as support.

I’m CD29 and due af on Friday but I’ve only had one real cycle off the pill so could be later. I’m going to test late next week if af doesn’t come. I had some spotting a few days ago which I know can be a good or bad sign so I’m just waiting and being very impatient about it haha.

We just dtd most days around the time I thought I’d be ov but didn’t use any opks or temp, we want to stay relaxed for a bit :) but I’m sure I’ll want them soon haha.

How are you finding it?

Hi! I’m very new to TTC too and in my second cycle, currently 3dpo.

No one knows we’re trying either, except my mum which I said we’re ‘casually’ seeing what happens so we didn’t feel the pressure of being asked if we’re pregnant yet.

So I’m missing have the TTC talk too about cycles, symptoms etc. Like you, my OH is interested but doesn’t quite get it all, plus I don’t want to bombard him with all the information so he doesn’t feel pressure either.

There’s a theme here of not pressuring anyone else, but hold it all on ourselves, eh ladies..? 🤔😕

[quote Grace185]@DizSquiz hey :) I’m in my first cycle and haven’t told anyone yet either. I’ve started brooding hints that I’m getting broody etc and will want a baby in the next few years but no one knows we’re trying right now haha.

Where are you in your cycle?[/quote]

Hi! How are you?
It's exciting isn't it and also very hard to keep quiet about I'm finding, this is also my first cycle TTC and I am CD18, getting a bit stressed as I don't really understand when I ovulate as I had my LH surge yesterday at 10am, but CM is dry and BBT is normal so I'm just a tad lost. (Sorry TMI)

What cycle day are you on? Xx
