I thought I'd start a thread for all those who will be starting out TTC this month, I'd be interested to see how other people get on, tips, moral support etc. We'll be starting TTC at the weekend!!
Please join me!

It's definitely there! Still a little faint but more clear than yesterday! Grin Hopefully they will keep getting darker and I will contact my midwife Tuesday Smile

How exciting Ducky! :D

I have swollen breasts today and painful period-type cramps but only on one side. Could that be a sign of pregnancy? My period is due in two weeks so too early for actual period cramps but stopped the pill 2 and half weeks ago so I suppose it could just be hormones adjusting. I also wake up in the middle if the night for no reason. Thoughts?

Ducky23 · 18/04/2014 13:40

I had kind of period pains but too early to actually be AF. Is it that type of pain?

Ducky23 · 18/04/2014 13:40

Sorry obvs didn't Read that properly! All looks good Ali :-)

alizeeod · 18/04/2014 13:45

Am I just deluded and crazy? What are the odds of getting pregnant on my first 2 weeks trying?!

Ducky23 · 18/04/2014 13:51

It can happen! Wink

BearsInMotion · 18/04/2014 14:49

So, AF is due Sunday. I am at my parents and have neither pregnancy test or tampons (well, I have 2, but not enough!). Can't decide whether to buy one, the other, or both! If I go anywhere other than the tiniest local shop they will sell both, then I will want to buy both, and there is no way I will be able to have one and not POAS!

Gah! I am seriously overthinking here! HmmConfused

I've started bleeding today! Quite happy about that as it means things are moving on and body knows there'sno pill anymore :) not sure if withdrawal or period. Will have to wait and see. At least hopefully I will start ovulating after this.
Yay so happy for you ducky!

Bears, buy both! Better safe than sorry. Test Sunday morning first thing and tell us! :-)

BearsInMotion · 18/04/2014 16:35

I think I'm going to have to aren't I?! Last time I bought tampons and no pg test before we went on holiday and DP was :( because he thought it meant no BFP that month - AF never arrived (or not until after DD was born! So part of me thinks buying test is tempting fate - see, overthinking!!

Cupcake92 · 18/04/2014 17:20

Bless u bears! Don't over think n buy both :) I'm having to do the same as my AF or fingers crossed bfp is due next week when I go away. So I'm stocking up on pregnancy tests n tampons! But hoping I get a bfp before I go ! Lol :p

Ducky23 · 18/04/2014 17:31

I hope you can both chuck the tampons away!! (Or maybe chuck them right at the back of the cupboard until next year, chucking them away will be a waste of money!)

Grin
Cupcake92 · 18/04/2014 18:07

Ahhhhhhhh I wanna test again!!

Cupcake92 · 18/04/2014 20:37

How is everyone this evening?

Ducky23 · 18/04/2014 20:45

I'm excited and scared and nervous and think morning sickness is starting to set in! Grin Don't think I've ever been so happy about that! And I don think I've ever been so happy about not drinking!

I've quit smoking too, I smoked a lot before so am being a bit of a bitch today! Ha Grin
