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!!

OH shame my DH says "oooh maybe you're pregnant" with such hope and this naughty little smile. I hate telling him when AF arrives.

We've been married 6 months on Saturday so I foresee much humping through the weekend. That can't be too bad, can it?!

A good reflexologist can massage virtually. I'm waiting! :)

104 times wow. well we haven't been DTD much this month. One of the reasons is that I haven't been too well. My body has been playing tricks with me recently with stomach cramps, back aches and sore boobs. My cramps have gone thank god but still have sore boobs. I am not imagining it, they definitely hurt. Have to wait begining of June to see if I get a proper period next month. This month was way to odd.

Happy 6 months anniversary Kicking.

Does anyone else finds not knowing so hard? It's killing me! And this is only first month of ttc! What am I going to do if it's doesn't happen for months??? I'm going to get crazy!!!!!!!Sad

Pinkie29 · 24/05/2012 22:24

I'm on cycle 4 Popinda and uff it's literally all I can think about! Just started my 2ww so am trying desperately to ignore everything until af is due probably going to test at 13dpo

NicolaHazel · 24/05/2012 22:28

I really can't wait to start trying, but I'm worried how badly I'll react when it doesn't happen.

I get obsessed easily, so have a feeling this could take over my life. I'll have to try to concentrate on the wedding as my main focus until October. Some hope though!

QueenOfTheDrama · 24/05/2012 23:05

It can drive you crazy definitely. I'm loving the laid back approach this month though - no OPKs, etc. Even if we're not lucky this month I think I might just carry on like this tbh, its much less stressful!

NicolaHazel · 25/05/2012 06:32

I'm taking that approach to start with...monitoring my post-pill cycle but nothing else. Probably do that until the wedding, then change tack if nothing's happened by then after the honeymoon.

Kittenkatzen · 25/05/2012 08:01

Your not the only one being driven crazy popinda. I'm still waiting for my first proper post-pill AF to show up (ie not withdrawal bleed) and I can't stop thinking about it! I literally have no idea what my cycles are at the moment yet there's still a teeny part of me clinging to the hope of a flukey BFP. Which is ridiculous really and I know it.

Oh well, for now the sun is shining and it's Friday - yay! :)

nicola I'm very Envy of you having wedding planning to distract you! It must be so ex Irving - I want to get married again!!

Kittenkatzen · 25/05/2012 08:01

*so EXCITING

KickingUpQuestions · 25/05/2012 08:12

I want to get married again as well.

I want a planner the next time though.

NicolaHazel · 25/05/2012 08:16

Ah, Kitten, we are soon going to be in the same boat, you're just a touch ahead of me. I'm also hoping for a flukey 1st month BFP. Happened to my mum. Twice!

And there's not much wedding stuff happening right now as I'm waiting for the RSVPs to come back. Proper lull :-(

Not entirely useful!

QueenOfTheDrama · 25/05/2012 08:38

Oh I'd love to get married again too, I've never really been the girliest of girls and wasn't really into weddings and stuff but I loved it! It was honestly the happiest day of our lives and we've been in a post wedding bubble ever since, now 9 months later!

Would be great if you two both got 1st month BFPs - stranger things have happened! Smile

Pinkie29 · 25/05/2012 08:42

Ive never been married Smile

KickingUpQuestions · 25/05/2012 08:53

Yep we kind of had a blip but then, we did pretty much everything on the "how to drive yourself insane" list for the first (and current) 6 months of marriage. But, for better or worse, he is my best friend and I'm his so we fixed all that and we're back in our love post-marriage bubble.

I was never girly either - I wore flat shoes and I wanted a flowing simple wedding dress but landed up in a poofy one (off the shoulders with no bling though) and a PETTICOAT in 30 degree weather!. I also wanted photos in the water with my dress floating above the water :D We got that too.

sigh

I really hope we get a BFP this month

Kittenkatzen · 25/05/2012 09:15

ooh nicola that would be fab - lets hope it runs in your family (and rubs off virtually onto me!)

I will happily jump in and plan any weddings/vow renewals/opening of envelopes........love a good party me :o

KickingUpQuestions · 25/05/2012 09:16

Are you a planner Kitten? What is an "opening of envelopes"?

If I could convince DH to renew our vows with a full proper wedding thing once a year, I would...

Kittenkatzen · 25/05/2012 09:25

No sadly not.....not of the party planning kind anyway - would be SO much fun though! My job is waaaaaaaay less interesting (PA for a senior exec in a big city bank. Yawn)

Opening of envelopes - just a flippant reference to the fact that I'd be happy planning a party for any old occasion :)

Didn't Seal and Heidi Klum renew their vows every year with a full on wedding? Oh to have the money......!

KickingUpQuestions · 25/05/2012 09:32

Oooh lemme know if there are digital marketing / SEO positions in your big city bank :D

I have no idea about celebrity things. I am useless at entertainment stuff. I am the twit reading City AM every morning.

Have we all chippered ourselves up by listening to Rebecca Black's Friday off YouTube??

NicolaHazel · 25/05/2012 09:58

Here's hoping for first month BFP vibes being shared between us Kitten.

Not sure Seal and Heidi are great examples to use, ha ha!!

KickingUpQuestions · 25/05/2012 10:21

OR just a BFP!!

I wouldn't mind my month 9 BFP this month Grin

NicolaHazel · 25/05/2012 10:33

True!!

Fx for you. :-)

Kittenkatzen · 25/05/2012 11:05

kicking we literally just filled a digital marketing role a few weeks ago! Will keep an eye out though :)

KickingUpQuestions · 25/05/2012 11:12

Cool beans. I am only applying now for banking / IT / investment and the like. Tired of muppet industries now. My current company is insane - I'm doing an audit and you just KNOW that they are going to ignore everything. They're clueless.

Frustrating dot com

Popinda · 25/05/2012 11:57

I'm hoping for my bfp! CD30 still no AF, will test tomorrow evening if no show.

QueenOfTheDrama · 25/05/2012 13:05

ooh good luck for tomorrow popinda Smile
