Hey everyone! Just wanted to start this thread for anyone just starting on the TTC journey. Last month was our first month properly trying but sadly AF is here at the min!

I’ve been reading some of the threads on here as I’m the first in my group of friends (that I know of!) that are starting this journey and thought it would be nice to talk to people in the same boat 😊

@Tigger1116 definitely!
@worldwidetravel2017 I’m sorry to hear that, how are you feeling?

A mixture tbh - was angry - was upset

Now a bit matter of fact but it varies / changes

In some ways we were super lucky to concieve on 2nd cycle of trying

B4 trying - i improved my vit D
( too low vit d = miscarriage)
I improved my feretin
( vital to successfully carry a child)
Took zinc daily ( helps in many ways)
& take folic acid & b12
.
( too low b12 = pregnancy issues)

Maybe it just wasnt meant to be that month

Gynae told me it wasnt my fault

May of been just one of those weeks/ times

Very clever how your body deals with it

@TTCnewbies That’s exciting! Sounds like we’re at about the same stage then! Have you been doing anything extra before trying? I think we’re just seeing how we go for a bit and then mighty try the ovulation kits etc in a few months if there’s no update 😊
