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!

Aww a new year baby Smile

Cupcake92 · 20/04/2014 21:43

Knowing my body tho, I'll be overdue lol!
Just hoping I can deliver naturally this time round. Will do my best. But first I need my bfp!!!!!!!

Ducky23 · 20/04/2014 21:48

Was it cs last time?

I gave birth naturally and I could imagine it being an amazing experience if it had the normal ending you get when giving birth.

I will be induced but have done a lot of reading on it and apparently it can be a looong process and usually ends in emergency cs. Il be ok as long as I get my baby Smile

Hi,

Can I join please? got married two weeks ago came off the pill the day after the wedding so but sure about cycles yet but have started dtd from cycle day 8! This is trying for my 2nd and DH 1st!

We were trying for just over a year with no luck before we got engaged decided to stop while planning the wedding! had a blood test but all came back ok and DH had a SA done which came back fine apart from a higher number of abnormals! Since then we have quite smoking cut back on the booze and lost some weight so we have our fingers crossed this time!

Cupcake92 · 20/04/2014 23:18

Yeah I was induced as he wasn't moving much, got induced on the Sunday and ended up having emergency cs Tuesday lol so yes can be long! But someone I know was induced and gave birth naturally the day after :) she was induced at 37 weeks. So there are good stories I just got the bad one unfortunatly.

Hi there crazy!! Good luck in ttc :D keep us updated! I'm CD 30 and 10DPO :) starting to test probably from Tuesday onwards :p this is also my 2nd baby.

BearsInMotion · 21/04/2014 09:48

Still no AF here .

Sorry to hear about your AF Gemerama, don't worry, you're a spring chicken! It's easy to get wound up though.

I also would've started TTC earlier (I'm 27) but I was adamant I wouldn't have a kid with some asshole who'd leave us. My DP is a sweetheart, so loving and kind, I trust him completely and I'm sure he'll be a great dad

lillamyy1 · 21/04/2014 10:51

Congratulations Ducky and Cheesecake! Good luck Cupcake!!!!
I've still got a week to wait until AF's due... really want to test but know it's too soon. Don't have pmt, which I usually do by now, and I felt sick yesterday but I know I'm just symptom spotting and probably just imagining it all!

Cupcake don't forget I didn't get my BFP until a day before AF and that was very very faint so don't be disheartened if it doesn't come up today.

Gem of course your not too old! As far as I was aware fertility is great up until 35 and only then does it slightly start to decrease.

Ducky23 · 21/04/2014 11:08

And I'm jealous of all this sleep Confused my sleep pattern has him squiffy, it did that last time I was pregnant I get up at stupid o clock in the morning!

Ducky23 · 21/04/2014 11:09

Oh and good luck cupcake!!! And lil!!! And bears!!!! Smile

DP hinted he'll propose this year......Fx!
I also dated my fair share of dicks, DP was one of them! We've been on/off for 10 years, met him when I was 17. He used to be such a twat to me but he changed and I finally got him in the end!
Are you hoping for boys or girls, ladies?
