Any other newlyweds who are newbies to ttc? Looking for a buddy!

[MrsDinoRawr]

We just got married in July and I always thought we would have a honeymoon baby. Well I got a BFN on my first cycle so didn't happen! So onto cycle 2...

Would be great to have someone on here to chat to.

Skd, I wish I could say the same thing re moving house, I'm so sick of the flat we have. I can't wait to have an enclosed back garden for the dog! And not worry about the prospect of having to carry things up and down stairs to get in or out of the flat (could you imagine a pram in a first floor flat?)

Looking at right move just let's me dream for now. We won't actually get serious about it until we fall pregnant, and even then were up in the air because my husbands work might take us to France for 6 months or so!

Writerwannabe83 its nice to know I am not the only one who has had issues! I know its been a bank holiday but i just want my referal to come through from the hospital so i know what the hell is going on!! :(
good luck for all you other newlyweds x

Arghhh?AF came this am. Grrr. 2 days early as well.

Och well?next month it is!!!

So first week of my diet and I lost 3lbs well chuffed. certainly helps to distract me.

Sorry to hear that af has arrived offtogetsomebrains always a disappointment

Urghhh so annoying! Sorry brains

Desperately waiting till the 12th so I can test! Hoping no AF! That's the attitude ..next month!!!

Great news swimming that helps mood to and your all happy vibes so I'm sure it makes all the difference!

Brains, that's annoying, isn't it? But early is better than late if AF is going to visit. At least it means you can get a head start on e next cycle! I thought AF was coming early last week, but I got kept waiting for a couple days of annoying spotting and nothing else before she actually hit. She really know how to annoy us when we're ttc.

Keep swimming, that's amazing!! I know I should get back on the healthy eating/diet bandwagon, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm not overly unhealthy, but I do love sweets. And take aways. And it's only been a couple months since the wedding and I don't want to go back to calorie counting like I did for the 6 months pre wedding.

Just wondering, though, just how bad is it to be overweight when ttc? I'm smack in the middle of the 'overweight' category on the BMI chart, and would have to lose about 20lbs to be healthy, but even pre wedding all the dieting and exercise didn't help and I plateaued at this weight. Breaking through the plateau didn't happen before the wedding and Im not sure t will happen now, but if losing the weight will make a huge difference for ttc I might give it a shot....

Wispa they say try be close to your BMI as can. But I know plenty of oversight to obese people all have gotten pregnant & carried full term healthy pregnancies and babies! Don't stress over it!!

If you slap bang in middle I wouldn't worry. Anything toward you being more healthy vessel to carry baby would be good - doesn't mean you won't be able to get preg either! I truley believe stress is key so chilled and relaxed happy women is best way to be! Lols

If I do get pg ill defo be eating as healthy as poss, I don't want to gain more weight than is necessary! Won't be doing any diets, but will be keeping a close eye on things to not overdo it.

Having a low day :(

Found out this women who I hate lol, but shes pregnant and shes 3 months...she smoked throughout her last pregnancy and is eating off the government.... and is healthy fine to work just lazy her kid goes to school no so she could work in day now - kids 5!!!! URGHHH i know its wrong but makes me angry! how I lost and someone who is undeserving I THINK because how can you smoke when pregnant...shes has about 5 misscarriages to so makes no sense why you wouldnt be careful!

I need to focus on me and hubby and having a baby of our own but this news had just got me so upset and angry at same time!

Hi,

This is my first post. I'm about to become a newly-wed (as in I get married on saturday) and have had my first BFN. I always thought it would be unlikely to get lucky the first month of trying but always secretly hoped! Luckily the excitement of the wedding has stopped me from being too disappointed about it.

Trying really hard not be become obsessed with it but it's really difficult. I was always taking the least wee thing to be a sign for and against being pregnant last month. So hoping the wedding and honeymoon will stop me from thinking about it too much this month.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi!

Sorry B, that's frustrating. I do feel like it's so unfair sometimes when people who quite obviously are taking advantage of the system seems to have everything fall into their laps and responsible people seems to struggle for anything. Ahh well, not worth thinking about.

And welcome Mac! Exciting about the wedding, I can't believe you're posting on here and not going mad with wedding prep The week before my wedding was a blur of family from out of town and preparation.

Better luck next month, though, maybe you'll get lucky and have a honeymoon baby

Thanks wispa I know not worth thinking about just having a low day..needed a cry and was last straw when heard the news!

Ah mac fingers x for honeymoon bubba for u! Enjoy your wedding!! And honeymoon!!

We got married in June. I came off the pill very recently to start TTC for #1. Today would be the day I started my next pill packet!

Hoping I can get normal cycles quickly.

How is everyone else getting on?

Hi MrsMac Congratulations and good luck for your Wedding!!

Are you going anywhere nice for your honeymoon? Maybe you'll have a honeymoon baby!

Well i'm on cycle 2 now, had my first proper af since coming off the pill, really hoping I get a bfp this month.

Anyone due a bfp this weekend at all??

Hello! Bit of a cheat because, whilst I am newly wed (Aug 17th!) I am actually well into TTC. Still on the wedding come down though so can I join??

Welcome, new newly weds :)

Just a thought, why don't we talk about weddings for a change? I'm still on a wedding high after 2 1/2 months, and sadly everyone else thinks it's now just a distant memory (except my mum, who still talks about it every time I talk to her).

Tell me about your weddings - when, where, the best bits. If you're feeling adventurous, why not share a photo, too, and throw anonymity out the window?

I'll start: we got married 22 June at Hever Castle, Kent in a civil ceremony, and the best bits were: bagging a husband (woohoo!), having our dog in the photos, getting to spend 30 minutes of relaxing alone time wandering through the gardens, and lots and lots of desserts in the evening and a photo to show the dog: hitchedukcs.s3.amazonaws.com/CommunityServer.Discussions.Components.Files/27/6663.IMG_0777.JPG?AWSAccessKeyId=1GGD02E4Z1ZJD3AK4F82&Expires=1378468760&Signature=kdED2F%2fgwcIfzOe5B2l15O%2fTry0%3d (now lets see if that link actually works, ahaha)

Thats lovely wispa! Loving your dress. Was that your thank you photo for cards?

My fave bits were my shoes, the food, photobooth and the DJ who was a risk for us a little but awesome! I just loved it which was a surprise as I was pretty worried. I don't have any pictures yet, why do they take so long?!

pinkhat1 how are you getting on with the monitor? It's been a lot more successful for me this month than last month. I had high for 7 days then peak yesterday. I double checked with an internet cheapey opk and that had a line definitely darker than the control line. It must have been the busyness of the wedding that caused the long cycle last month.

Lovely picture wispa. Really nice that your dog joined in with the celebrations :-) We got married abroad on a beach and it was beautiful with lots of sunshine for the photos. The best bits were the holiday, the beach and at the reception (in England) the DJ and the cake.

wispa I also got married on 22nd June! It was in Derbyshire, in a lovely old Victorian House. My fave bits were my outfit, seeing all my friends and family enjoying themselves, and the fun that DH and I had dancing - he never usually dances!

We have got our photos back and chosen which we want for our album. We won't get it until January though. We also have a wedding video to come in January, too. Can't wait!

This weekend we are going to finally write our thank you cards. A bit late ..

I loved choosing photos for the album! But why won't you get it until January? Does it usually take 6 months? We got our video after 2 months, and our photos after 3-4 weeks-ish.

Wispa I've got no idea why ours is taking so long then I think it's cos they're only a two person team and have lots of other weddings going on as well? Still it will be something to look forward to in January when things are generally bleak!

How's everyone getting on? I finished my final 'withdrawal bleed' from the pill last week. Now dtd and hoping!

We are also in the process of buying our first house so that is keeping me busy. But I'm still always thinking about babies!

Deuscat we got married on 22 June too in London and we haven't done our thank you cards yet either

Hello, can I join in too?

We were married last November but have only been trying since our honeymoon in August this year (loooooong time to wait for a honeymoon I can tell you!)

My cycles since coming off the pill have not really changed so I dont know if I should be worried about this or not, most women seem to have really long cycles when they come off - I know everyone is different but I feel like the only woman who has come off the pill and felt no side effects. I have bought some ovulations testing strips for this month to see if I am actually ovulating or not.

WeightyKaty I'm glad it's not just us then! We were hoping to start the thank you cards last weekend but we just didn't find the time. It's on the agenda for this week!

So having just come off the pill a couple of weeks ago I don't know what to do about waiting for AF or BFP. I think I used to be pretty regular but can't remember! Would you poas after 6 weeks just in case?!
