Twenties ttc -- all aboard!!!!!

Hi everyone,

I'm very new to this TTC game!
I am symptom spotting like mad and have had a weird pain in my stomach on the left hand side low down like a stitch all day... i think I'm just looking for any old sign that this might be the month! I'm on CD21 of a 28 day cycle. Anyone else had this?
I'm doing my own head in already, this could be a bit of an obsession!!!

AF arrived this morning. Was hoping with coming off the pill I would getting pregnant quick. Will just have to hope for next cycle.

Hello everyone!

Oh wow, Rtuff, congratulations! I'm really happy for you. I know you've been through the wringer. When are you due?

Antdamn I can totally understand you wanting to take a break. As you know, that's what I did and it was the best decision at the time. So sorry to read of your loss, I hope you are both taking things very gently.

Hello to everyone else- hope all are well and feeling positive!

I have been steering clear of mn recently, as I have been very anxious about this pregnancy,and found that the speculation on the pregnancy boards about what symptoms do/don't mean was only making me worse!

However, had 12w scan this morning (when it emerged I am in fact 13w) and all was well with my bean- well, it's much bigger than a bean now! And much more wriggly.

So you see, there is hope. After my mc and months of trying, plus some odd cycles, I thought we wouldn't conceive. But it does happen and beans can stick.

Courage, ladies!

Thanks Seany !!! I still can't believe it, i keep running back to the stick just to double check!

I spent months trying to get the right day for my 21 day teast, but i worked out, for me, that if i did opk's day "21" would be 7 days after i got a +ive, i don't know if that helps???

i got my BFP on CD31 of cycle 16ish (lost count in the end!!) I also tested on cd28 and got a BFN so it just shows all that money i've wasted testing early over the past year and a half!

I've done 3 tests now, just to make sure... 3 tests can't be wrong surely! I'm in disbelief, my doc phoned today to say she had both mine and dh tests back and that she's happy to refer us now - typical!

Hi Ladies,

Well i've officially had 2 months trying not to think about ttc and thought i'd just check in to see how all of you are getting on? Any news?

Well after 2 holidays relaxing in 2 months i think i may have just got a BFP!! Well that should be a Faint Positive... but a line's a line... right????

Feeling very positive! Af has left the building let the BDing begin!!!
Thinking every other day should do, must go tell DH now!
Hope everyone is well, anyone getting close to testing?

Hiya ladies,

Hello and welcome to Trying and April. I hope your time on this thread is short

DP and I are having some time off from TTC, even though he is in a 'life's too short' mood.

So, think we will be 'out' for a month until we get back into the swing of things.

How is everyone doing?

Has anyone heard from Joy or Suzi??

Thanks for all your kind words.

Hiya, I'm with Kaylo in trying to get preggers so that I'm not all huge, hot and bothered next summer. My mates 7 months just now and she's struggling with the heat!

I'm really hoping that I'm pregnent just now as I don't want the dreaded AF to make an appearance after being on the pill for 6 years. I have a feeling it's even worse than I remember it! Is bad lower back ache a sign? I've had a bad back the last couple of days so here's hoping. Seemed to ovulate rather early but then that might be with just coming off the pill. Hope it's not just sign of early arrival of AF!!!

Hey ladies...welcome April hope you enjoy your time here...ladies how are you feeling...hope were all positive Im trying to be...because this weekend I had a crying spell...tears out of nowhere DF did not know what to do...

Well ladies Im just checking in on everyone...stay positive Im off to see Harry potter since kaylo went to see it without me he he

Well hello!

bubble fingers are firmly crossed for you! babydust floating it's way to you...

seany I am quite cheerful lately, I think it's cos I've only got one more cycle to go!! Then I can finally start TTC properly. How are you hun? Still no AF? I think the GP needs to have some firm words spoken to him...

April You're welcome Hope it's a bfp for you - we don'e seem to have had one on this thread for a while...

Well I'm on CD4 now. Hoping I can talk dh into TTC during August ovulation so we'll find out if bfp/bfn or not in time for Barcelona on 16th Sept. Hoping (but not expecting) to catch on first time around (aren't we all?) so baby will be due before really hot weather kicks in next year If dh doesn't go for the August timing, means I'll have to wait for September ovulation which is predicted to be around 23rd Which is another cycle... Am getting so impatient now cos it's so close.

Anyway, enough of my grumbling!! How is everyone? Has anyone seen Harry Potter yet, I went on Wednesday evening and it was insanely busy and there were people with scars painted on their foreheads and everything - crazy!!
Good film tho - if you've read the books tho it doesn't do the book justice (as always)
Took my mum and dh to see it. Mum is a potter fan like me but dh just went for me iyswim. - anyway it's made dh start reading the books so it must be a cracking film cos that never happens!!!

Hoping you're all well xxxx

Hi all, thanks for welcoming me, and thanks Kaylo for the abbreviations!
Af came yesterday, was not expecting that! I can only guess that my last af 2 weeks ago was a fake bleed from just coming off the pill?!

So I think my stats are:

You do count from the first day of af not the last right? Should really know that by now!!

Hey ladies old and new welcome...ant Im sorry for your loss 17 is so young take it easy.

Hope everyone is doing well...Im back to work and trying to stay positive guess I will just plan my lovely wedding since I cant plan for my child...but we shall see I think we just may stop trying until september which works for me.

Hi ladies,

I had thought I had posted this previoulsy, but obviously wasn't paying attention

Will be AWOL for about a week. On my birthday we got a call from DP's Stepmum to tell us that DP's cousin was hit by a lorry outside T in The Park and died. He was only 17

SO DP is arranging to go back to Scotland for the funeral. So we will be taking things slowly for a while afterwards.

Be back soon

hi everyone.
