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!

Sounds like a lovely labour! :D good that AF hadn't arrived yet! Mines due tomorrow.
Have u tested?

elcarmen2010 · 22/04/2014 08:14

I was desperate to watch OBEM last night but DH thought it would be too upsetting for me. I think he was right.... Promised myself I won't test today. We'll see how that goes!!
If I'm not pregnant this month then I will never trust my body again! That's what I've decided.
Have a good day Xx

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 08:22

Couldn't help it and tested with FMU and got bfn
Starting to think I may not be pregnant this month :/
Just these symptoms have thrown me

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 08:32

Cupcake I was doin some reading last night about when implantation happens and stuff and it was saying that implantation can take longer in some people that's why some people get really early BFP's and some don't come until after AF was due so don't give up hope yet Smile like I said I know someone who was 2 weeks late and only then did they get a faint BFP. Fingers crossed for you all!

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 08:33

And DH won't let me watch obem :-( he doesn't like it cus of what happened last time I gave birth Hmm

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 08:48

I know I'm not out till AF shows lol :p just can't get myself down as I know it'll happen when it happens. On my apps IPeriod it says I'm due tomorrow but on FF it says I'm due Friday ? :s i don't understand this. Cuz I as a period just before having implant out then period continued as the widthdrawal bleed happened straight after. It's all strange hahaa let's hope AF doesn't show for my holiday at least! I'd like to go swimming!
I only watch obem so I can see peoples birth stories and plans etc, I look for the VBAC ones see if I can do what they do and give birth naturally next time

BearsInMotion · 22/04/2014 08:57

Not tested again, trying to hold off but it's really tempting! I thought it was so unlikely I was pg after getting that bfn on Sunday I'm trying not to get my hopes up. But I've had no symptoms of either AF or pg!

:( Ducky, I can understand how he feels.

Am currently at a garage waiting for my car to be serviced and eating chocolate - I don't know whether to blame PMT or pregnancy :)

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 09:03

I'm eating orange chocolate segments , tesco ones haha! I'm proper craving melon tho! Oooo would love some melon!
When I was pg with DS I had a huge craving for pears n it was all I'd eat :p

BearsInMotion · 22/04/2014 09:08

Mine was pot noodles Easter Blush

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 09:19

Before I loved pot noodles I could live on them but when I was pregnant even the thought of them made me heave!!! Confused I just had salt and vinigar sticks for breakfast. Haha.

Were you tracking ov in any way cupcake?

I just went And brougt another 2 first responses and a clear blue. I must have done in excess of 50 tests this month, no wonder I'm so bloody broke!

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 09:31

Right that's it! I just did one of my tests and it's a strong BFP! I neeeed to stop testing now Confused but I have another one here and 12 in the post. Think il have to get someone to take them off me before I'm certified insane.

Send them my way Ducky Wink

Seriously, that is great news Grin

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 09:53

I know I wish I could send them to you lot!!

I stuck mainly with first response cheesecake cus they were the ones I knew were 10, I was looking the other day and noticed the others don't say how sensitive they are on the box. But 10 is better than 25 as more sensitive Smile

I know they're sneaky!!

I just got mine from asda, I did get some 'first response' of e bay too but I think tey were fake, if that's possible! They were a different style to the normal first response and weren't anywhere near as sensitive

BearsInMotion · 22/04/2014 10:11

So first response are much more sensitive than clear blue?

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 10:23

From the research I looked at it looks like they are :-)

kitkatkaty87 · 22/04/2014 10:25

very happy for you ducky :)

I was using that app cupcake but also used ov sticks, I got my surge on the ov sticks and we DTD then but I noticed ewcm a few days after ov which confused me :-/

Thank you for the congrats Grin

BearsInMotion · 22/04/2014 11:47

I cracked and POAS again. Still BFN :(. That was first response too. Really Confused as AF is never late!

alizeeod · 22/04/2014 11:54

I'm having a major crisis, my DP and I have just argued all weekend and he's been mean and acting so immature and I'm starting to wonder whether it was a good idea to TTC in the first place. I was so aggravated that I wanted to leave him and I'm still considering it now. I've known him for 10 years by the way, this isn't a "fling", but my god, what if this was the worst decision ever and I get a bfp? Has anyone ever questioned EVERYTHING? In tears and panicking, feeling so irresponsible
