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!

Gemerama I met my DP at 31 and had DC1 at 36 before we'd even started trying properly Easter Smile

Right need some advice ladies!
I've brought 2 x superdrug tests and also a first response test. I'm due AF on Wednesday. Which test should I use today?
First response says as early as 6 days before period should I use that one as it may be more sensitive??

Oh I don't know! I'm nervous lol!!

Stars66 · 21/04/2014 12:22

Ok I have just decided to start trying. DTD last night and checked out a million apps for fertile dates but they all say different things! Period started on 7th April so I figure around now is about right. Good luck ladies!

alizeeod · 21/04/2014 12:58

Cupcake use FR! I think 2 days early is like 97% accurate! OMG I'm sooo excited to hear! Fx!!!
Welcome, stars. Ovulation is 2 weeks before your next period is due, half way through your cycle pretty much x

Cupcake92 · 21/04/2014 13:13

Okay I'll use FR! :) I'll be testing in about an hour just have to drop DH off at work then will test when I'm home. I'll let u all know :)
I'm keeping my fingers crossed too! A bfp would really top off this month perfectly!

Congrats cheesecake. This thread and the bfp gives us all hope.

As for me I feel like I've had af pains for last 2 days. Think I'm out this month but will wait and see I guess.

Good luck cupcake fx

Ducky23 · 21/04/2014 13:48

I had AF pains too though rainbow! I guess implantation feels the same as AF pains?

Come on cupcakeeee!!!

Although I would have maybe said check the packs and see which one says it's more sensitive (how much hcg they detect) lower the number the more sensitive. Good luck Grin

lillamyy1 · 21/04/2014 14:05

Arrg couldn't wait any longer and just took a FR test (5 days before AF due). BFN obviously! Still keeping fingers crossed though, I just hate waiting!!!
Cupcake, have you tested yet?

Ducky23 · 21/04/2014 14:33

We are the definition of poas addicts!!! We bloody love peeing on sticks! I got my BFP and am still doing it!

Cupcake92 · 21/04/2014 14:36

Just poas! The FR! Currently writin this while waiting for result. I have a feeling it'll be bfn tho it's early and also it's only my 1st month ttc
I really want this bfp tho :(
3 mins is taking forever!!

Cupcake92 · 21/04/2014 14:45

Bfn :'(
I'm obv out then.
I did a superdrug one as well n bfn.
If they can detect now n AF is due Wednesday I've got no hope :'( I'm so gutted

Ducky23 · 21/04/2014 14:56

But cupcake you have no AF yet and still 2 days until AF. I didn't have my BFP 2 days before AF.

Maybe wait a few days and if no AF try again Smile

alizeeod · 21/04/2014 15:03

Oh no! Sorry to hear that cupcake! Xxx

Cupcake92 · 21/04/2014 15:22

I'll just wait till Friday now :/ so gutted but still praying

Ducky23 · 21/04/2014 15:36

Fingers crossed for you cupcake x

Cupcake maybe try with fmu it's the most concentrated. Fx for you.

I hope so ducky that it's implantation but feels a bit too near af date. If no af by Thursday will do a test then

Sounds like a few of us will be poas towards end of week. Last time I was 2 days late and had such a faint line with asda. There's hope till af I guess. Feels like you symptom spot till you make yourself believe it's so disheartening to see a bfn. It will be worth it in the end ladies Smile

lillamyy1 · 21/04/2014 16:56

Yeah, there's still a chance, cupcake!

BearsInMotion · 21/04/2014 17:36

Yes cupcake, it doesn't mean you're not pg, there's still a chance. Join me on the Bench of Uncertainty!

Cupcake92 · 21/04/2014 17:42

I guess so lol
It's just so annoying isn't it!
It's like when u get pregnant by accident ur like 'OMG how did that happen?!' Then when ur ttc it's 'how can I not be pregnant yet??' Haha :p

BearsInMotion · 21/04/2014 17:52

Yep. With DD we were thinking about trying but hadn't really looked into it - I thought when we DTD then it was in the week I couldn't get pg, apparently not! Now timing it, DTD every other day, NUDP and nothing!!

Cupcake92 · 21/04/2014 18:05

I was on the pill when I got pg with DS so I thought surely now I have no contraception it'll be easy! I was very wrong!
