Anyone else TTC #1? Just looking for TTC buddies!

Aw I'm not mad that she came though, but would love to have my BFP before I go on holidays and enjoy being in our little BFP bubble ourselves before we let family know.
Aww I was insanely patient during my TWW which I was surprised at but I feel like I won't be as patient going forward. If you want to test, go for it but don't be sad if it's negative because it might still be too early and you never know until AF shows up. 💜 fingers crossed for you.

@Nmmck93 ow sorry to hear that, but nice to start fresh with a new cycle I guess, really hope it's your one for bfp! I'm on 7dpo and my usual light brown spotting started yday like clockwork 🙄 so that already makes me feel like it's unlikely! I might actually test tomorrow morn, know it's so early but I just kind of want to haha

@Piglet34 yeah AF showed up yesterday. So just a waiting game for her now to disappear and start tracking again.
what part of your cycle are you on?

@Nmmck93 I know what you mean, the timing DTD part is so hard, at least in the TWW you don't have to actually do anything! How are you doing, did AF show in the end? Aw yeah that would be amazing to get your bfp before holidays 💕

@Piglet34 yeah I'm a December baby myself and my partner is November. In my family we have a lot of birthday november, December and January, I would have been over the moon if it was my cycle.
I find the tracking part of TTC stressful finding my peak. I actually found the TWW alot more relaxed.
I go on holiday on May 14th for 10 days, would be nice to find out we're pregnant just before going so we can live in our wee happy bubble for 10 days ourselves.
But just waiting as I say for AF to show up. Quicker she comes & goes the quicker I can get into tracking ovulation and start the next cycle.
Fingers crossed for you hun.

Morning @Nmmck93 , Ino what you mean about a December baby, I feel a lot more chilled this month because of that which is quite nice really! Obviously would still be over the moon if it was our cycle but is good to feel more relaxed I guess! Hope you find some closure today with your cycle xx

Hi girls, AF is suppose to start today!
tests are still negative & no sign of AF. She’s usually like clockwork that the minute I wake up and wipe Its there.
but I have also started a lot of new vitamins and seven seas trying for a baby which I know some people find that messes up their cycle. Hoping this isn’t my case and she’ll show up later today or tomorrow, but tests are 100% negative.
just what to start next cycle.

@Piglet34 thank you, the last 12 days actually flew in for me in fairness and I’m not actually disappointed as was quite sceptical on having a December baby as such. Just gunna wait to see if AF arrives on Thursday & look forward to next cycle.

baby dust to you! Hopefully you can keep yourself busy and it will fly in until you can test! 💜

@Nmmck93 sorry to hear about your bfn this morn :( hope you're doing okay xx

@kalixxx that's reassuring to hear it does usually take people over six months! This is only cycle 4 for us so I guess still so early in the grand scheme of things I just feel so impatient!

3dpo today so still a while before any answers come my way haha

@kalixxx thank you, but the tests where all blazing negative didn’t even have to squint to see how negative it was lol. I’m not mad or disappointing which I’m surprised about. But will see if AF shows up.
have seriously tender / sore boobs today & I usually do get this when AF is about to pop by. 🙈

baby dust to us all. 💜

So girls, i tests this morning at 12dpo and BFN.
just holding out for AF showing up & I deffs have the usual AF symptoms so should be here in 2 days.
im gunna say I’m out this cycle, but will remain positive and keep going.

lets gets some BFP soon 💜

@dormicumema thank you! 🤞🏻

aww they do have a lot of the good stuff in it.
I was suggested omega 3 for endometriosis so I googled it and basically summary being from a site online states
“Prospectively recorded omega-3 supplement use was associated with an increased probability of conceiving.”

so I jumped straight to the chance of taking it 🤞🏻

@Nmmck93 im so sorry to hear about your story and the operations you had. I am crossing my fingers for you! Thanks for all the pics.
I stared using new ones (elevit pronatal) as of yesterday that have quite a lot of everything, don't have omegas though

Its been nice to check in with updates on here. Welcome newcomers.

We've found the same about pregnancy announcements, of the 3 that we have been told about in the last month at least 2 were after a year of trying which surprised me, because other peoples announcements seemingly come out of the blue. Its reassuring though.

I messed up my ovulation testing and we didn't DTD much, so unless it's one of those backwards logic things where because I've been less focused on it somehow it will work I doubt it will be our month. I started taking vitacre preconception vitamins (not much more research than they contain folic acid and were cheap on amazon) but my husband got excited about it containing inositol which he'd seen some positive stuff about online.

@dormicumema ive attached pictures of all the vitamins and before I bought them I just typed them into google and ‘trying to conceive’ and it was all highly recommended on there too.

as for being diagnosed I spent a lot of time back and forth to a&e with severe stomach pains mid cycle. I was being threw to the side and being told ‘it’s just mid cycle pains’ or ‘suspected appendicitis’ - I went back to the doctors one day with severe pain & he rushed me straight to hospital with again suspected appendicitis- I was 17 at the time & my mum just told the hospital we weren’t leaving as it was too severe so they ended up referring me to a gynaecologist & from there it was basically just getting a surgeon on board after I got an internal scan & the surgeon brought me for multiple checkups and told me endometriosis basically can’t be diagnosed until they for a Laporoscopy (poor spelling I apologise) and a month later I was in and he done the surgery and found the endometrial tissue and removed it. I was fine for around 6 months and then was put forward for another surgery. Last one was about 9 years ago, but I started having flare ups recently again but nothing that is too bad.

@BexTTC yeah, my dear friend got pg on cycle 1... I'm like buying all these tests, vitamins and measuring all kinds of shi* and nothing, nada 😂 maybe we should do experiment one month with just having sex for fun and see if it works like that

I’ve been struggling with this lately. Seems to be happening all around me and I’m trying so hard to be happy for my friends because it’s amazing but still selfishly feel a little sad and then feel guilty about being sad. Vicious circle 🙃

@ttcat37 you still have time for DC 1 and 2 and 3 don't you worry :))
I honestly only started temping this month and using FF App it's quite good :)) it is the best way and for free to determine o day

Hi Ladies, sorry I've be AWOL I got a bit down being frustrated that AF was 2 weeks late yet again but she's finally showed her ugly head so can start looking forward to trying again! Sorry I hear there's been no BFPs and everyone is also waiting for AF to arrive, anyone else noticed everyone else seems to be having babies like crazy this year!? Feel awful for feeling sad when I see an announcement 😞

@Nmmck93 i would be thankful for all the typs thanks :) I was just wondering how was your endometriosis diagnosed? I had a prior to starting ttc a vaginal ultrasound and pap smear done (that is a standard checkup where I live) and everything was a ok, however I have quite bad periods regarding to pain which can be endometriosis as well... I heard it was hard to diagnose it

Hey everyone. I’m TTC our 1st, 37 so no spring chicken. Cycle about 8 I think but I’ve lost count! I’m around 4dpo- if I ovulated this month. I got a positive OPK and CB static smiley but no clear BBT shift. I’ve never had a possibly anovulatory cycle since starting TTC, so I’ve ordered an at home progesterone blood test to take in a couple of days. I’ve had blood tests done a month or so ago and all is ok. I’ve had 3 chemicals since December. I’d really love a Christmas baby 🥲 AF due next weds but no doubt I’ll be poas this weekend…!

@dormicumema i was also advised in omega 3 which I picked up due to having endometriosis and it’s advised to take omega 3.

@Piglet34 & @dormicumema i haven’t tested yet, I don’t know how I’ve held out this long.
i’m 11dpo, today I have such strong cramps though, but feel like AF cramps. Every other symptom I had last week has disappeared so im not very hopeful. Will try my absolute best to hold out testing.

@dormicumema i actually started a thread on vitamins not that long ago and got so much advice on what to take.
I did start Seven seas trying for a baby last week and then added on extra vitamin D & Calcuum & K vitamin & then Vitamin C aswell.
once I get home this evening I can upload some pics of them for you if you wanna look into them.
