Hello ladies

I would like to start a thread/bus/merry-go-round to meet, get support and share with ladies in the same boat as me:

TTC baby no 1!

Will you join me and see it through to the BFP?!

A bit about me - I'm 29, DP is 35. This will be our first child.

Hi everyone!

Can I join this thread too please?

I'm 26, my oh is 28 and were only just starting ttc after I had my mirena removed last week, very excited!

WakeyCakey · 25/02/2013 21:42

Hi kimmy welcome!

jaffas2013 · 25/02/2013 22:48

Hi all

Hope you don't mind me sneaking in :)

I've been keeping an eye on the threads for the last few weeks but only felt brave enough to join tonight! I'm currently around 9DPO and constantly sympton spotting! actually I think i'm driving me and DH slowly mad!

WakeyCakey · 26/02/2013 06:33

I got a smiley face on my ovulation stick! First time for everything.
Does that mean I am ovulating today or about to ovulate or just have does anyone know?
DTD last night, should I do it again tonight?

PopsceneBrooke · 26/02/2013 16:50

Hi everyone, may I join?

@Jaffas2013 i've been doing the same!

I'm 24 as is OH. Had implant removed in early Jan, had first AF on 19th Feb.

Looking forward to sharing all your journeys with you!

PistachioTruffle · 26/02/2013 17:02

Wakey, I would do it today, tomorrow and the next day just to be sure!

WakeyCakey · 26/02/2013 18:06

It's so exciting now. This is the first time it's felt real that were TTC

jaffas2013 · 26/02/2013 20:56

Hehe, it is exciting but I'm also quietly panicking!

My hopes are starting to be dashed as my "symptoms" appear to be gradually going. Last weekend I was absolutely postitive that this was our month but i'm not so sure today :(

2xBFNS so far the last being today. Probably still waaaay to early tho. Just have to cross every that AF stays well away!

WakeyCakey · 26/02/2013 21:54

Fingers crossed for you Jaffa!
DP told me last night after we DTD that he is sure we just made a baby, I was laughing until I used the ovulation stick and saw the smiley face.

He would love to be right! Not for the baby, just to be right Grin

marie456 · 26/02/2013 22:41

Our 4th cycle of ttc #1. Me and husband both 30. Came off microgynon in October 2012 and luckily got pretty regular cycle back straight away! Currently 6dpo. Am thinking I should somehow feel different if I was going to get a BFP, but so far nothing!! Am wishing the days away to AF/hopefully BFP!! Good luck ladies!!

Bartlet4America · 27/02/2013 16:45

Hi everyone :) hope you don't mind me joining you!

We have just started trying for a baby and I'm so excited! Probably a long road ahead (I have PCOS), but I can't help but feel excited anyway! I've got a pretty good GP who diagnosed me and said that when I want to conceive, just to go after three months and go on Clomid. Want to see if I can do it myself first!

My cycles are pretty out of wack so for the next couple of months I'm just going to DTD as much as possible and then, if BFP is still evading me, get serious!

ticktock1979 · 27/02/2013 21:52

Wow Fairydogmother that's terrific news.

Lets hope some of that good luck has passed onto others on this thread! Smile

Fairydogmother · 27/02/2013 22:06

Thank you!

123234345 · 28/02/2013 12:01

Grrr! Why couldn't I ovulate last week, when we had sex three times? Why does it have to be now, when my husband has been working silly hours all week, I've been out every evening and we've both had stinky colds?

In other news... Oh wow! Since I've last been on I see congratulations are in order Fairydogmother! Sorry to be a bit slow noticing.

Fairydogmother · 28/02/2013 12:44

Thank you!

Def just DTD as much as you can all month round and dont concentrate too much on when you think you are ovulating - the wee wrigglies hang around in there for a good few days!

WakeyCakey · 28/02/2013 18:52

Welcome Bartlet you sound like you have a very down to earth GP it's good to have support from all angles!

This is my first 2ww as cycles were so messed up. This one has been 24 days so far, so gone from 13,16,19 days to much longer. We shall see if AF shows up in the meantime.

I won't be devastated if I don't get a BFP as I still feel that I am getting into the swing of my cycles so don't mind if it takes a few months to get more regular

Although saying that having bad endo pain whenever I do come on so the quicker the better I guess!

Bartlet4America · 28/02/2013 20:18

Thanks Wakey! My GP is great, very to the point ("you were born with PCOS, you're guna die with PCOS, you've just got to learn to manage it and get over it" - Grin), but really knowledgeable and keen to help out! Aaah the 2ww! Have been lurking on MN for a while now, and have seen how much of a rollercoaster it can be. Hopefully you might be one of the fortunate ones who gets pregnant straight away. I keep thinking that it could happen to me, but the reality is a fair few months of BFN for me yet!! GOOD LUCK!!

jaffas2013 · 28/02/2013 23:53

Welcome all new peeps :)

Well yet another BFN this morning. Had constant sore boobs since OV but the queasy feeling has gone as has the (sorry for TMI) CM. I think I'm 12DPO today so still a chance yet but not going to bother testing again til Sunday.

Hopefully I'm one of those people that cant get BFPS early!
