Just started TTC for first child, anybody else in the same boat?

[Bunnygirlie]

hi, got married last year, now 32 so feel it's time to try for a family, came off pill in feb but didn't start trying till June, 2 periods later no joy but I know it's very early days.....

cockerpoo I'm afraid he is very right. there is a constant shed of hair here! and she is trimmed quite short too. I get clean washing out of the washer with white fur on!

she is currently curled up at the end of the bed keeping me company as oh away!

welcome Anna to the ridiculous rollercoaster that is ttc. fingers crossed for u.

Thanks puppy
Do you think its possible to be showing and not get a positive test yet? I want to ask doc for a blood test but I'm sure she'll think I'm nuts as I only got implant out 2 months ago.

you could really only at best be 8 weeks so I doubt a bump would show . (although I suppose not impossible - not been pregnant so not really qualified to advise!)

to be honest its more likely your system getting back 'right' after the contraceptive. it can take a few cycles for things to get back to normal and a while for things to get regular again.

u could just be bloated - from what I gather from info on here its quite common.

also the negative tests would suggest ur not pregnant. its possible to get negative tests in the early stages but I would have thought if u were pregnant enough to show then it would be a positive test.

sorry that's not very helpful...

Thanks again puppy your putting things in perspective here, its so easy to get caught up in it all. In all honesty I just wish my af would show up as I haven't even had a cycle yet (thats if the bleed two months ago was a breakthrough bleed) fingers crossed something happens soon!

Hi Cockerpoo and Anna, welcome to the thread.

Since I came off the pill my periods are not regular at all so I have no idea when I am ovulating, very frustrating!

Anna - I have heard that it takes longer with the implant to get back to 'normal' than the pill. When I stopped taking the pill in feb I didn't get a period for nearly 2 months.

Hey puppy, I'm ok thanks. My friend has been round today with her 2 week old baby, I can't wait to have one! All I see at the moment is pregnant ladies, I guess I'm just so much more aware of them now we are TTC. One of my friends who I also work with is due December so I really can't escape it lol

Hey bunny is it just me or is every celeb pregnant at the mo! 3 of my friends have announced they're pregnant in the last two weeks, everywhere I go I see/hear about babies, doesnt help when your mum keeps hinting as well!

Oh no your mum pressuring you, you are only young! Thankfully my mum is patient and my mum-in-law is already a granny twice so no pressure there either!

Happy Monday girls.

Bunny I'm exactly the same - it's so frustrating! Came off pill March, first AF in July, and waiting waiting waiting for next. Gave in and POAS yesterday - BFN (kind of relieved as drank too much on Sat, oops!). Just wish AF would show up so I know I have some normality going on!

I seem to be having a very early af. was due Friday but here now.

very annoying as it means last cycle was only 22 days and I thought they had settled at 26...

My cycles are so all over the place I can't guess when ovulating! They range from 30 to 36 days since off pill so quite long! Grrrrfff

Sorry i've been missing, couldn't find my way back. I have now forund the settings page and i found you again.

Bunny Have you read the Just Shagging thread? less about tracking ovulation, more about DTD as much as possible.

POAS this morning, 2 days before AF, early i know. got a BFP. . However last month same but it didn't take.
Just hoping it sticks this time.

Anna - It's not just you, preggas women everywhere i look too. Maybe you should go to the docs just to see what the bloating is all about.

Good luck ladies, i'm thinking BFP's this month.

tofee how exciting.

congratulations . hope its sticky this time, will keep my fingers crossed for u.
cd 5 for me so getting ready for the next round of did!

next af due around my birthday so fx for a lovely bday present this yr!!

Puppy Oh that will be great! FXed for a very happy birthday

Hiya peeps, how you all doing?

toffee keeping everything crossed for you! Keep us posted.

puppy everything crossed for you too!

AF due for me sometime between now and end of month, no clue as cycles range from 30 to 33 days.

Anybody symptom spotting like mad? Tricky for me as I suffer from IBS so I get bloating and nausea loads :-(

Feeling very blah today so think AF is on it's way :-(

Hello, I have Endometriosis and Uterus Didelphys (2 wombs) and have been treated with Triptorelin for the last 5 months because the pain I experience is crippling on a daily basis. I was adamant that I was having a hysterectomy (I am 28 now and have wanted surgery since I was 21) until only 3 days ago. I suddenley realised how much I wanted a baby, I spoke to my fiance (6 year relationship) and we decided that when I go to my specialist in October we will discuss our options.
I was very suprised that my partner had agreed to wanting a child as we are both very similar and have always said we wouldn't have kids.
Now I am worried, all I can think about is having a child, I have even been thinking baby names and imaging what it will be like to have a bump, however I dont want to get my hopes up too much because of my conditions.
Having one of either would be bad enough but having both now feels like an infertility sentence to me. I have 2 small wombs and my left womb and overy has endometrial tissue growing around it, up into my stomach. The triptorelin stops me from ovulating which helps with the pain.
I have been told that I have a 60% chance of miscarraige, and that if I did carry to term it would actually be premature and have to be delivered via C section.

I was just wondering if anyone knows of anyone with both of these conditions and if they have managed to conceive, if so how long did it take and did they go full term>

Bunny sorry you are feeling so poorly.
Puppy How's it going?

It is still a sticky one. going to book a dr appointment today. I'm a chronic pain sufferer with an unstable spine and pelvis. I think that my dr and physio will be the 1st people to know. it feels strange, the first people you tell are not the close ones.

Lynzi That sounds awful. I hope you find someone to give you a positive story.

oh toffee that's good news!

I'm on cd 10 today, have dtd cd 7,8 and will continue later!
have smear test today so not fun!

linzi I have no advice other than discuss with ur doctor as u said.
bunny how u doing?

Hello,
Is there room for a littlun in this group? i've just started TTC, so am VERY new to all this, and the other thread seem a little more established.
I came off the pill in July and am just seeing what happens really.

welcome fantastic tis just a few of us here, were very friendly!

fx for u.

Thanks all, I'm 34 and have been married for 3 years. Been really into my career until this last 6 months and now it just feels right.
I've no idea about me cycle or anything yet, just trying to work it all out.
Everyone seems very knowledgable on here. I agree about feeling like there are babies and pregnant ladies everywhere.
My twin sister is pregnany with her second and had decided it will be great to be on Mat Leave together - no pressure then!!

Started TTC in May but not luck yet. Feel like all my friends and family are waiting for me to announce I am preggers but it's not happening. It's actually reassuring to see I'm not the only one still waiting even though it's only been a few months...

Hi all, can I join in too?
I got married in June and we started trying right away. Had started to get my body into baby mode few months earlier so was all set to go. Nothing as yet but early days so im not stressing yet! We have our gorgeous pets (names above) to keep us company until then and like others have said they are our babies and we think of them as practice!!!

My birthday in Sept and would LOVE a BFP as a present!

Hellooooo welcome newbies, yep a small select group here, some of the other threads are far too complicated for me!

Hey puppy smears are no fun at all!

Had a grotty week, my IBS playing up this week and Tuesday I was so bloated I looked 4 months preggers! And I think AF is due any day now :-(

Thanks for the welcome Bunnygirlie my friend suffers with IBS and I know its awful! Hopefully no AF for you though, fingers crossed.

I've just calculated my days and I think I'm ovulating now or at least over next few days, Hubby works funny hours though so definately need to sort out some time together!!!
