TTC bubba #1

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

[quote Genevive123]@Veronika13 hey lovely don't beat yourself up over a few drinks ! Loads of women don't even know they're pregnant whilst drinking and you wouldn't have ovulated yet then so honestly don't stress :) x[/quote]
Thanks, just thinking of my ovulating egg being met with vodka and be like HmmHmmIf it doesn't happen this month I'll prob blame it on that

Does anyone's DP DOESNT know when you're ovulating? I haven't told mine - we just dtd regularly anyway so all bases are covered.
I have this feeling that if he knows ovulation date then sex will be more mandatory ...? And less fun. I'm not sure though. Smile

Hey can I please join you all? I'm TTC #1 - came off the pill in sept 2020, fell pregnant in January but had a miscarriage this month. We're TTC straight away. I'm using opks and did for my cycle in January when I fell. I think I'll try a different brand though mine seem crap I never get a good second line!! Xx

Kty09 · 27/03/2021 21:27

@xoJellyBean fingers crossed for you!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Xx

xoJellyBean · 27/03/2021 21:26

@Kty09 I totally agree though... would rather have a beautiful clear second line with no doubts whatsoever 🤣🙈 x

xoJellyBean · 27/03/2021 21:25

@Genevive123 I might do tomorrow morning! My boobs feel huuuge tonight 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm nervous to see a bfn though 🥲

Flo app says ovulation is today (28th), DTD 24,25,26,27.
Wondering whether to dtd today or I'm covered

Also went to a big party last night (I'm in a "Covid-free" country), had several drinks and now regretting it. Feel like it was really stupid of me Confused

Now we wait.... I am determined not to test until af is due. This is my first month of trying, trying to stay cool Grin

@xoJellyBean please test I'm so excited for you!! Haha 😂

My cramps have gotten worse !! Also eating like a pig 😂😂

Kty09 · 27/03/2021 17:43

@xoJellyBean arghh it’s so tough! I’ve always wanted to see a definite second line rather than guessing if it’s positive...meaning waiting longer 🤣 but it’s different what you say and what you end up doing lol 😩 x

xoJellyBean · 27/03/2021 16:39

@Kty09 that is the question 🤣 I have no idea!! Any suggestions 🤣

Kty09 · 27/03/2021 16:20

When are you going to test? @xoJellyBean 🙊

xoJellyBean · 27/03/2021 15:58

My cramps are gone today!🙈

Hope everyone is doing well :)

lisamxxx · 27/03/2021 13:00

@Genevive123 feeling a bit better today so will try bd tonight. Think I will mentally cancel myself out for this month then if it did happen it would be an amazing surprise but definitely gonna try a bit more next month!

@Kty09 I suppose that's true I don't have high hopes but would be an amazing surprise if it did happen. I'm in a similar situation with my partner he works night shift so he sleeps most of the day so doesn't leave us with much time. It definitely can be a struggle but gonna stay positive for next cycle 🤞🏻

@Genevive123 it’s going to be the longest TWW ever for us this cycle I think! X

Genevive123 · 27/03/2021 11:20

@Kty09 I know ! 2 days apart would be very cool haha ! You'd be the first person to get a "born in 2022" onesie ! Unless baby came a little early!!! X

Kty09 · 27/03/2021 10:53

@Neom87 ooh that’s good to know!!
@Genevive123 such similar cycles only two days out - A 2022 baby 🥺 I will be doing a test on my OHs birthday next month so I’m really hoping for that too 🤞🏼

Genevive123 · 27/03/2021 10:13

@Kty09 yeah I understand I felt the same about this cycle !! oooh that makes sense then as I'd be due 3rd of Jan! That would be fun wouldn't it - 2 days apart !!

OP posts:
Neom87 · 27/03/2021 09:57

@kty09 - not much! 🤣 Got my peak on the 10th, did it that night, didn't on the 11th did on the 12th but it was about midnight so really felt like it was probably pushing it!!

Hi @ella91, baby dust for your test today!!! Let us know!! 🌟🤞

@xojellybean, not sure about the early scan - I can't decide!! Would you have an early one?

Kty09 · 27/03/2021 09:39

@Neom87 how much BD’ing did you manage to get in around ovulation to be successful? 😁 if you don’t mind me asking lol x

Kty09 · 27/03/2021 09:39

Yes @lisamxxx it only takes one time! But life does happen so try not to get down about it, I had a similar situation last month with OH being away around ovulation but when you can’t help these things I try not to get frustrated!

@Genevive123 I know but I definitely knew deep down last cycle wasn’t the one so I’m not too disheartened. Omg - I’ve just looked now you’ve asked! It would be New Year’s Day! It’s a nice fresh start a new cycle isn’t it! This part is the exciting bit (once AF clears off)!

@lisamxxx aw bless you hun I hope you're feeling better soon! If you can BD today and you're ovulating it might happen 😍

@Ella91ooooh hi lovely I'm excited to see your test! Have you done it yet?

@Kty09 aw hun, although you thought it wouldn't happen this month it's still rubbish isn't it! AF two days away for me now, got AF cramps galore 😅 this will be our cycle! If we both manage this cycle we'd have similar birth dates, what would yours be ?
