Hi ladies

I'm 23 and my partner (27) and I are TTC baby #1!

It was our first month trying this month and AF is due 2nd/3rd of March, so far just BFN! My cycle is roughly 26/27 days! But didn't expect to get pregnant first cycle so I'm feeling ok 👌🏼

Anyone else TTC baby no 1 with a similar cycle? 🥰 xx

Ow I'm so sorry @Neom87 😢 how are you getting on? Hope you are okay x

Veronika13 · 12/04/2021 22:14

@AllyCat31 sorry to hear. I started af too (after 1 month of ttc)
My OH was also convinced we will get pregnant straight away (his ex gf did in his teens), he Thought every woman will that sleeps with him with no protection 😂 he even initially wanted to wait to ttc for that reason. Now I can't get pregnant straight away it's almost satisfactory in a way to tell him: 'SEE...?'

Just remind yourself that it takes on average a year to get pregnant :) and stay positive, I know it's disheartening at times Daffodil

So sorry @Neom87 sending you all the love and positivity ❤️ Hope you’re okay xxx

xoJellyBean · 12/04/2021 22:06

@Neom87 omg I am so so sorry ❤️ hope you're ok! We are here for you lovely xxxx

Neom87 · 12/04/2021 21:23

Hi girls! Will you have me back. I miscarried over the bank Holiday weekend, so I'm back at the start again 😔 Hope you are all doing well x

AllyCat31 · 12/04/2021 14:20

Right, I think that’s me out for this cycle. I hoped the spotting I was having was implantation but its too heavy so has to be AF. That’s 5 days earlier than all my apps have said and earlier than any other month after ovulation.
Ive ordered some Soy Iso to hopefully bring ovulation forward (it was CD35 this time) and also vitamin C to take after ovulation as I’ve read it can help thicken the uterus during the luteal Phase - still taking Seven Seas TTC and have a pretty good diet so not too worried. It was only cycle 1 for me but I still feel incredibly sad. I know my OH is pretty upset. He had got it in his head that we were going to be lucky.
Good Luck and Baby dust to everyone still in this month 💜

@taytay2020 oh I'll have to give that a watch. I definitely find there is added pressure with bd when you know it could potentially result in pregnancy, even I find it a bit hard to relax at times 😂 I'm hoping that getting back to a bit of normality this month may help. I'm going back to work this week so feel like it might take my mind off everything a bit and help me relax a bit more.

taytay2020 · 11/04/2021 20:05

Welcome back to the game @lisamxxx! This could be the month 🤞

I'm on CD6, gonna start opks on CD8. As promised, I have been prepping DH with many assurances that BDing does not lead to scary parenthood, it's all JUST A COINCIDENCE. 😉 I think he really felt the pressure last month. We also started watching Netflix's 'Babies' documentary together, so it's all feeling a bit more real. Baby dust all round! ✨

lisamxxx · 11/04/2021 19:44

AF arrived yesterday for me. Happy to be on a new cycle and will hopefully get back on track trying this cycle after a complete fail last cycle. How are we all getting on?

LemonSwan · 11/04/2021 17:19

Glad to hear I am not alone in these thoughts @taytay2020

I think crying was a bit melodramatic but there you go :)

I think the logical solution is guest bedroom/office and the nursery in the small room - currently office. Then we can have all 3 in use if needs be. Although day to day I would prefer guest bedroom/ nursery probably.

Let me know what you decide

taytay2020 · 11/04/2021 16:02

Haha @lemonswan I know the feeling! I've found that the prospect of fitting a child into our house really makes me good at decluttering. 😀 I feel like I've given away half my possessions on gumtree in the last six months. I'm also going through the same thoughts re: office/nursery, and guest room/office!

LemonSwan · 11/04/2021 15:51

@xoJellyBean

Lol I think now because I just had a hormonal cry about where we would put the nursery if not in the office, and where the office is going to do if not the guest bedroom or vice versa! I am already in full on nesting mode

xoJellyBean · 11/04/2021 15:33

Woohoo @LemonSwan when are you ovulating?

Catmumsoph92 · 11/04/2021 11:42

@justwant2beamum thanks hun! @Kty09 oh the wait is a killer! I started testing at 7dpo as couldn't resist! Didn't get my BFP until 9dpo though. How you feeling? Xx

justwant2beamum · 10/04/2021 22:12

@Catmumsoph92 congrats ✨

Kat668 · 10/04/2021 20:01

Happy Birthday @Genevive123 hope you had a good day, despite OH being ill. Hope he feels better soon too!

LemonSwan · 10/04/2021 19:41

Ooo I think I found my people. DP and I had first attempt last night :)

Tulipwood · 10/04/2021 18:38

AF still hasn’t arrived even though my temperature dipped, but I’ve taken a test and BFN. I wish she would hurry up!

taytay2020 · 10/04/2021 14:37

@genevive123 Happy birthday! Sorry to hear you're out - it's so disappointing isn't it? Even when it can't be helped. Hope your OH feels better soon.

xoJellyBean · 10/04/2021 14:25

@Genevive123 I'm ok! No sign of ovulation yet so just waiting... aw no sorry to hear that :( have you been using OPKs? Hopefully he gets better soon 🤞🏻 xx

Genevive123 · 10/04/2021 13:55

Happy Birthday @Genevive123 !! 🎈

Kty09 · 10/04/2021 11:26

@Veronika13 I think the chances of conceiving each cycle are around 30% so even if you are doing everything right it doesn’t always happen, it doesn’t mean something is wrong. Remember it can take a healthy couple up to a year to conceive. If you haven’t watched that video I posted before maybe give it a watch it’s quite a good insight! Hope you’re okay 😊
@Catmumsoph92 ahhhh I am 3/4dpo and going out of my mind 🙈

Iris35 · 10/04/2021 07:37

I had a bfn and due Tues which is good as I can go ahead with my plans of surgery. Get these implants out and then ttc. Good luck to all you ladies

Catmumsoph92 · 09/04/2021 22:35

@Kty09 I am feeling okay but that might be because I'm so excited! Still hasn't quite sunk in! I have felt a bit sick and my boobs are sore but apart from that I'm good. That might all change as I'm only 10 dpo today. I did take a CB digital today and it confirmed I am 1-2 weeks. How are you all getting on?
