TTC first baby

Hello all! DH and I are TTC our first baby, I'm 31, he's 32. We've only been trying for a month so it is extremely early days but I'm so excited at the prospect.

DH may have some fertility issues (picked up on a scan) but I was pretty convinced it was going to be a BFP straight away as I had so many symptoms - but that shows how much I know! Blush

Is anyone else TTC their first baby? Please join and keep me company!!

Most sure fire symptom yet!!

Pinkie29 · 23/05/2012 14:17

My womb shouts 'get in ma belly!'

KickingUpQuestions · 23/05/2012 14:21

A pram in yer belly would be a smidgeon uncomfy, surely?

Pinkie29 · 23/05/2012 15:10

Fair point haha! Ok just been loo and literally had a spot of blood when I wiped Hmm another symptom?! Grin

KickingUpQuestions · 23/05/2012 15:11

Have you done a test? Just pee on a stick already!!

KickingUpQuestions · 23/05/2012 15:12

Oh gosh I read back. You're just trying to wind me up!! ;) :D

Pinkie29 · 23/05/2012 16:02

Lmfao of course in on a wind up haha just doing the opposite to the control thread Grin

Although I do have 31 tests at home!

Pinkie29 · 23/05/2012 16:07

I did really get a twinge walking last mothercare a d a spot of blood tho!

KickingUpQuestions · 23/05/2012 16:22

I have 6 OV sticks but I've put them away. I was going to buy internet cheapies but DH told me to "remove them from my basket"

So I've gone in completely virgin (in the loosest sense of the word)

Kittenkatzen · 23/05/2012 17:48

Hi lulabell, welcome :)

I'm in a similar position to you, came off the pill on 3rd may and just waiting for AF to put in an appearance. It can take a while for your cycles to sort themselves out though so don't get disheartened just yet easier said than done Can you remember what your cycles were before you went on the pill?

:o:o at pinkie's "get in ma belly!

Pinkie29 · 23/05/2012 18:18

It has to be said in a Rab C Nesbit accent kitten haha!

Lulabells · 23/05/2012 20:42

Hi Kitten :)

I think my cycles were fairly regular before so fingers crossed they will be the same now. Just wish AF would hurry up and appear so I can get on with next month! Plus I am off work for a week soon and I'll bet sods law it will turn up on my first day off! We will have to be patient together!

Kittenkatzen · 23/05/2012 21:43

Yep here's hoping AF turns up soon for both of us - no doubt on the most inconvenient day possible! :)

Popinda · 23/05/2012 21:48

Ladies, whose dh knows about mn? Hand up mine doesn't its a big dark secret! Grin I like I can talk about my obsession ttc and he thinks I'm being relax about it all! Grin

NicolaHazel · 23/05/2012 22:18

Goodness, no! I wouldn't want him to think I'm already obsessed when we can't even officially start trying until the weekend!

KFFOREVER · 23/05/2012 22:55

Its too late for me my secret is out. My husband has guessed I had found something on pregnancy coz I have spent hours on here. He knows im obsessed and keeps telling me to relax. yeah rightlol

Pinkie29 · 23/05/2012 23:35

Mine doesn't Smile I use the iPhone app do can be sneaky! He knows I look online for most ttc info I just don't tell him it's usually MN!

I think it's great we can all vent our crazy frustrated ttc-selves while our dp/ds think we're relatively sane! Although I think mine was slightly panicked Monday with my random meltdown!

Pinkie29 · 23/05/2012 23:42

I've been very crampy today! More than usual I think (awaits kicking to boot me over to sensible thread)

Kittenkatzen · 24/05/2012 06:50

Mine knows.....I've even told him its doing him a favour as it means I don't ramble on at him about it all day. He just laughs at me...although I don't think he realises how much time I spend here! :)

pinkie where are you in your cycle then? now get over to the being sensible thread dammit!

NicolaHazel · 24/05/2012 07:00

Only 2 days until I am officially TTC :-)

Come on Saturday! Let the SWI commence.

Oh, and I tend to come on here on my phone, which tends to keep what I'm doing relatively secret!

EllieBuffalo · 24/05/2012 07:20

Nicola We're due to start SWI on Saturday as well, fx we'll both be reporting a BFP soon :)

NicolaHazel · 24/05/2012 07:22

Hey Ellie

Here's hoping! :-)

Pinkie29 · 24/05/2012 08:04

Kitten I'm on cd18 think I ovd on cd16 had a positive opk and ewcm also been temping and seems to confirm it Smile we had swi day before and day of ov so hoping we caught it this time round Smile

Popinda · 24/05/2012 08:45

Aaarrr! I'm so frustrated that I have to wait till tomorrow before I know! CD29 and no af, but not hopeful as my cycles are anything between 26-30!

KickingUpQuestions · 24/05/2012 08:50

I had cramps today and yesterday for like 5mins a time.

I think it was wind. Grin

Only because I know for sure it's too early for OV or implantation
