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!

Good look to you all and fingers crossed for lots of BFPs! #1 was a very unexpected (but very happy) accident for DH and I, about 1 month after we met!!! I think that gave me unrealistic expectations when ttc #2 as after the first cycle AF arrived on our wedding day and I was gutted Hmm but DS was made on honeymoon and is now 3 months. I'm ready to ttc #3 now, but am BFing and no AF thus far (have started to give one FF in the evenings) so just going to keep "doing it like they do on the discovery channel" and hopefully get a BFP within the next few months!

Good luck to all those who have just posted - hope everyone has a successful weekend ;)
My conceive plus came in the post yesterday so we will be using that from this weekend.
Excited to get started!
I had read some about cm - so thanks for reminding me about that guys. Will try and use that as my guide to start with :)
Happy Friday!

Not too good! Last time I saw her I was pregnant, I turned up today and she was saying 'I bet your busy with a new baby' then I burst out crying. Bummer.

Still trying this positive thinking though Smile

Aw Ducky :( I'm sorry.
The same happened with my auntie. She got pregnant pretty soon after and had a healthy baby boy who is now 12.
Omg he's 12. I feel old old! Just shocked myself!
Keep positive :)

Just curious... How old are you ladies?
I'm nearly 28 and TTC1, I feel a bit old! Most my girlfriends from school are moms! My mom went through the menopause very early so I've decided to try for a baby. I'm terrified though! But excited. Anyone else TTC1 and super scared?

Cupcake92 · 12/04/2014 05:50

I'm 21 , I was terrified about conceiving my 1st but once u start all the midwife appointments and scans it's so exciting and for me the fear just disappeared :) we're now ttc number 2!

I'm 26, I'm the same though most my friends had babies young I'm the odd one out! We always joke their kids could probably babysit mine!

Wow cupcake you started nice and early lol! How many do you want to have in total? Personally I'd love two but one would be amazing too

Ducky23 · 12/04/2014 11:59

Do you know how soon after it was cupcake? I was advised to wait 3 periods before trying again but due to the length of my cycle no way was I waitin that long!!

I'm 23, don't know how many we will have, will see Grin

Haha yeah I started early has my DS when I was 20 I turned 21 a month after. My mom had me when she was 16 so to be 20 seemed old enough haha. I may be 21 but I have the mind of a 30 year old!
I'd like 2 children but u never know in the future we may try for a 3rd
And Ducky I'm sure she only waited a month so she must have only had one cycle :)

Hello! Can I join? We just started SWI this month after my Mirena was removed in January. I wanted to wait 'til I'd had some regular cycles which I've been plotting on an iphone app. According to this yesterday was my ovulation date and we've dtd a fair bit this week, including last night... Af due the 25th...

Yikes!!
