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!!!

Oh god. Walkin the docs and whos in the waiting room? My mother! I did a u turn to quickly think up an excuse y i was here as i never go to the docs unless i have to!

Blame it on having a smear?? Oh dear! Good luck though, you'll be fine!

I didn't ask to keep mine GoHump have no need to and wouldn't know what to do with it

Ive had a water infection lately so blamed it on that, of all the times and days for herappointment to be - shes gone in before me with the same doctor so i hope she doesnt say anything to her.

The doctor wouldn't tell her anything about your appointment anyway, don't worry x

So i survived! Took seconds couldnt believe it - prob the fact ive had 2 children helped. Didnt hurt at all and i asked to keep it - she said i was the first person who has ever asked that!ha

That's awesome MrsW, I told you it'd be fine :) now we can both get shagging and get on that BFP train ASAP yay!

Fab news MrsW - glad it's finally out. 5 days till mine is out!

Can't believe your mother was in there - but good swerve ball with the water infection complaint!

I know jesus i suddenly froze and just walked back out the reception door before she saw me. Composed myself then went in and pretended to be suprised. lol. Feel bad though as she completely fell for it.

I feel strange now, first day ever i will be DTD to actually try and get pregnant..doesnt feel right, normally pregnancies have been huge shocks and totally inconvenient things but this time i get to do it how its suposed to be done

My coil is a bit gross, she washed it but theres still a bit of stringy stuff around the top of it. sorry TMI. Feel like such a minger actually storing this thing in my bag at work. wonder what it will look like in a months time?!

Made DH dtd last night (as you can concieve straight away if youve had sex in the last 5 days prior to the coil coming out) although he doesnt take a lot to persuade. lol. Hope i dont have too much of a bleed tonight as he will defo know somethings changed as i havent had a period for 2 years!

so now its count down for you popsicle! eek. Have you had any children yet?

Either way, they say its no where near as bad as it going in so you will be fine.

I only had the tiniest bit of spotting so you should be fine :) didn't know that about 5 days before - I ovulated on Friday I think and we DTD each day til Monday so theoretically AF could never arrive?? Won't get my hopes up though

yes you never know you could already be pregnant! heres to thinking positive!

DH is going to wonder y im suddenly up for it every night now as usually its him trying it on and me being like 'god sake again!? really?' lol.

so far i havent had any cramps or anything since it was taken out. did you get any jess?

Ever so slightly yeah, but nothing noteworthy!

Very pleased it all went well MrsW and no cramps or anything at the moment. Some very exciting times ahead for you and HippyJess! I think it's great you got your coil and can present it as a gift to your DH. He must think he's a lucky boy at the moment with you being very up for it!

I think I'll let them keep my coil. My DH knows i'm getting it out so don't need it as a gift. I've not had any children so this will be our first ttc- very exciting! I was expecting it to hurt a lot when the coil was put in, especially with not having had a child. The GP gave a local anaesthetic and I didn't feel thing - was surprised when she told me it was all over. I'm hoping it'll be a similar experience when it comes out...fingers crossed!

Mind you I had light bleeding/spotting for 3-4 weeks after I had it inserted so hoping it doesn't do that when it is out. My period is due a couple of days after my appointment so hopefully that'll come on time and sort everything out!!!

Good luck everyone!

at your Mum in the waiting room, MrsW! Who'd have thought it!? Do you think you'll tell her when you announce your pregnancy, why you were really there?

Hope the next time I am at the Doctors is to say that I have a BFP [fingers crossed]

Wow we can talk ladies, over 200 hundred posts! This has just hugely cheered me up, I am sitting reading on the bus while someone drunken guys pukes in a carrier bag and another one is smoking, great for my asthma

Gross! Get home quick to a nice cup of hot chocolate and comfy slippers. It's too cold out for idiots like that grrr!

I am off the bus thank goodness! DH has just informed me he is away next week. My best guess at when I ovulate is Friday so think we will be busy this weekend. Anyone else planning to test around the 19th December? I'd love to wait til our anniversay on the 21st if AF hasn't arrived but don't know if I'll be able to.

Also is anyone being careful with food in the 2ww? My xmas party is slap on the 18th and I need to choose my menu options. if wasn't TTC it'd be goats cheese, rare roast beef followed by baileys dessert accompanied with red wine....obviously not the way to go this time though if there is a possibilty of being pg...

I have no idea when im due to ovulate, already poa ovulation stick lol. Negative. As expected. Oh well, il still spend every day of the next month convincing myself im pregnant. Lol

I think I have started to use OPK sticks at the wrong time, but if I am lucky, I was thinking about holding out and testing Christmas Eve or Day. Not sure if I shall be able to wait that long though!

Mrs W- can't believe your mum was there!! Reminds me of when I bunked off school at 16 to go to doctors for contraceptive pill, and walked into waiting room to only see my mum there!!!! I had to make some terrible excuse I can't even remember now!!

Anyway AF got me today, but glad that it was 28 days exactly since withdrawl bleed! Roll on December!!! Glad we are in it together!!

That's hilarious Mrs W - you're a quicker thinker than I! The day after I had my implant out, my Mum noticed the bandage and asked "Implant change? I certainly hope it's a change not a removal..."

Just the response I was hoping for, considering I'm married, 30, own own home etc...

So DH came home tonight and i hugged him and immediately he pulled back smiling saying 'what r u hiding?' Im still sure i wasnt acting any different to how i normally do but he knew something was up, even asked if coil was out (eek) to which i said no. The next 4 weeks r gonna be long!

mrsw I cannot believe that at the doctors! What are the chances?!

littlebear I'm glad you got your af after 28 days, like me to, body getting back to normal :)

Still reading and waiting...don't expect to be as lucky to have conceived first round but let's wait and see I suppose!
