1st month TTC

[Littlebear88]

New member alert!!!
My husband and I have just decided to ttc! We are both youngest in our family although both on mid 20s! We want our children to be close to their cousins who range from 2-5! Just hoping our brothers and sisters won't be judgemental as they were all in 30s when they started having children! We have been on nice holidays but feel that a baby is the next step and we are very excited! Just looking for some moral support!!!

Hi all... I've got to run, and I'll post properly later, but... I've got a line! It's faint, but it's there! Husband says it only counts if it's still there tomorrow so am going to buy a digi after uni! Ayeeeeee! How on EARTH am I not going to tell everyone I see?

Luck to everyone else POASing soon!

Ahh thats so exciting Finnable!!! Update us later but sounds positive!!

Finnable how exciting!! Congratulations!

Congrats finn! That's awesome! What cd/dpo are you?

Hey all, I'm back from Uni! Thank you for your kind words!

Right. I'm currently CD 31, normally a 26 day cycle. Not a clue when I OV'd, I used OPKs all month and didn't have one line at all, so had convinced myself I hadn't ovulated. Had the faintest of lines this morning, am going to repeat tomorrow with a CB Digi.

Symptom wise, I've had a crazy bad back for the last week, and I've felt so tired, all I've wanted to do is have a bath and go to bed!

I really hope that if there is a little bean in there, that it sticks...

Fingers crossed! I'll keep checking back for an update, Finnable.

Amazing news, so pleased for you! Send some luck and baby dust our way too please! X

Can I ask, are most people temping? I hadn't even considered it - I thought pregnancy could happen 3-5 days after you have DTD so just thought if you did it often enough around an estimated ovulation time, it would be quite likely.

MrsF it is so frustrating :( just looking forward to January now (without rushing xmas by).
No I'm not planning on temping.

Some good news Finnable, fingers crossed :)

I'm not temping either....will see how things go then think about it in a few months if still dont have my bfp

I think AF may be coming to get me. Cd28 (first period wss 33 days after finishing pill), bfn this morning and feeling crampy and bloated all day. Add in an upset tummy -+-explosive poo-+- which is my sure fire sign of AF, and I reckon that's me out

Gah, strike out fail!

Sending bucket loads of baby dust to you all! Just got to hope now that it sticks...

Thank you to everyone for well-wishing, it's so lovely that people are excited on here, as I can't tell anyone in real life!

I've just posted this on the 'bus' board:

I couldn't wait for tomorrow morning to test again, so I've just POAS on three different brands, including a CB digi - all BFP's!

Much stronger lines than this morning, plus the most beautiful words: "Pregnant 1-2" on the CB.

Things - I've had explosive poo a poorly tummy too (!!) so don't rule yourself out yet...

So pleased for you finn good luck

Wow, wow, wow! So happy for you Finnable. Marvellous result! Smiling over here

Congrats Finnable :)

Fantastic Finnable! So pleased for you!

Thanks Treacle and Things - am pleased I'm not the only one as felt a bit unprepared with all the OPK talk! Plus am due to ovulate (based on good old fashioned dates as a rough guide) next Wed so was a bit panicky that id miss out. Plus when you both work full time, you are kind of limited to what time of day you can DTD.

Hope you feel better soon Things x

This is my problem :( I was due to ovulate thursday but DH was at work then his Christmas party.
DH We had decided not to try til Jan but slipped and dtd yesterday. Guessing its too late for this month anyway but still.
In my excitement I got an OPK today and its said not fertile today so guessing we missed it.

Finn fab news!!! What a lovely early Christmas gift congratulations.

Day 42 of the. Longest. Cycle. Ever.

'Reassured' by DSIL who didn't get her bfp until 6 weeks. Gaahh! Guess I'll be POASing daily until AF arrives then...

Excited! Just got a very very very faint line on opk.. This is my first official month of trying :)) eeek! Just needed to share this excitement haha.

Wow Finn that's awesome! So excited for you

No ovulating here just yet but DP did propose to me so I guess that's something! suppose he's now DF! Yaaaay!

Aww congrats jess thats awesome :-) we just got married so im quite sensitive to proposals atm lol. Wll you wait until after you have a baby for the wedding or get married sooner? So please for u :-)

I am so over temping already. Im not organised enough to be able to take my temperature at the same time each morning. And these opk sticks r driving me nuts. Been using them for like 2 weeks now and nothing. :-( i give up on the planning! Ha. 2 weeks... I didnt last very long did i?!

I am not going to poas tomorrow....

Wow, loads of good news today! Congrats everyone, keep it coming!

If I'm not PG by my birthday in May then we'll get married in September, if I am it'll be around our anniversary in 2015 :)
