TTC #1

Hi everyone!

Anyone else trying to conceive #1 and looking for some pals to chat to?

I'm 29 and I'm on technically, my third cycle TTC. My first two cycles we tried tentatively as I had only just got my coil removed and didn't want to pressure myself too much. This cycle has been a little different though 🙊 and I started using OPKs to really pinpoint ovulation.

Currently 4dpo so in my tww and definitely looking for some support though this stressful time 🥰

Late to the thread but would love to join..

I’m 27 trying TTC #1, I had the implant for 9 years and had it removed June 2021. I’d say it was about 3 months for my cycles to regulate after having the implant removed. We decided in September 2021 to ‘officially’ TTC and track all my cycles.

February 2022, we got our first BFP but miscarried in March 2022. Still no period since the miscarriage but got my first Positive Ovulation test on Monday. Although, me and my partner have not had the conversation about when is best to TTC again. We will need to have it over the next few days. I want to start TTC instantly but I also want to make sure he is ready.

I love mumsnet for sharing stories, journeys and hearing everyone's stories. This forum has really helped me through my TTC journey so far.

Good luck everyone 😘

I'm 9DPO/CD23 today. Tested with a One Step cheapie and bfn 👎🏻 I've got one FRER but I can't decide when to use it!

AF is still not here, due today but I’m normally 1/2 days early. But just been to the toilet and there’s light brown tinged CM. Never had a period start like this, it’s normally dark red/almost black on the first day. Just been down a rabbit hole reading about implantation bleeding and I’m more confused than ever Confused

@lettyloulou I'm 6dpo too! I've tried to stop the symptom spotting as it's too soon. So weird tho as someone I haven't seen for a while today asked me if I was pregnant 😮 I don't know whether I should be offended or not 😂 I haven't gained weight. Very weird.

Hi everyone. I'm 6DPO and symptom spotting already 🙄😅 I feel a bit light headed and have period-type cramps but I get cramping on and off throughout the month anyway so could mean anything or nothing!

Everley · 16/04/2022 11:15

I’ve just done another test and it was negative. AF due today but not appeared yet. I had my hopes up as my period is always a day or two early but nothing yet, which is so unusual for me. I don’t even have any of my pre-period signs yet.

@everley I can see why that would happen. I'm already thinking I'm going to get annoyed with it down the line 😂

I was so sick of peeing on a stick from all the OPKs! The novelty soon wore off 😂

@everley I honestly don't know yet. In the past I have only taken pg tests when I'm late but I'm tempted to start early. Either way, I'll be disappointed if I'm not PG so whether I wait for AF or take a test, I'll still be upset. Unless I get a BFP of course Smile. I also feel like DP might tell me off if I start taking PG tests before AF 🙊 He has already told me to calm down this month when I was buying loads of OPKs 😂😂😂

@Carlswhite29x AF due on Saturday but it always a couple of days early so I tested this morning Blush It was negative however. I’m going to test again at the weekend. What are you planning on doing?

@Rms0209 of course! Happy to have you. Sending you lots of baby dust in preparation for your peak 🥰

@everley honestly, these forums have been such a blessing to me and taught me so much. So much support from MNers. Are you planning to test before AF or wait for it to be late?

I am also 4dpo, on my first cycle Smile Never realised how confusing this process would be! So grateful for forums etc as apart from DH I don’t want to talk to anyone IRL about it
