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 was the worst! It took me about 3 months to stop being in pain completely and to feel normal again! The normal recovery time is about 6 weeks but it does take 12 months to be completely healed lol

Hi Odaat, I hope u get ur bfp and get a sticky one this time.
Fingers crossed for us all, I personally have a feeling this is a lucky month :) so bfp's for everyone!

You were unlucky with the c-section, cupcake. I had an emergency cs with my DS, but it was fine. I was up and about the next day.
I had an epidural headache for 2 wks though, and on strong painkillers, so I probably floated through any discomfort unconsciously!
I was driving within 4 weeks and completely back to normal.
If I get lucky and get pregnant again, I want an ELCS.

Seem to have missed a lot of posts today! I think my AF is due towards end of week so will do a test next weekend unless appears before! Hope everyone has had a good weekend of TTC Wink

Cupcake92 · 13/04/2014 22:17

Glad ur csection went well OiMissus :) if I did have to have Another one is hope that one goes well lol!

Good luck tashalou hope ur get ur bfp!

Cupcake92 · 14/04/2014 09:52

Anyone else feel really nervous in their tww? Today I've been so nervous! I still have a whole week left to go! Haha!
It's only my 1st cycle but so desperate to see that bfp :( n I have a feeling I've missed it completely.
Sorry having one of those days!

alizeeod · 14/04/2014 10:00

I'm trying for my first and although I really want a bfp I'm also terrified I'll get one! But being my first month trying its unlikely... My period is due May 2 so ages to wait but we are trying daily!

KatoPotato · 14/04/2014 10:22

Okay so this is my first month ttc and I've already turned into a symptom spotting crazy lady!

3 DPO and I have mega sore boobs, it's going to be a loooooong 2ww!!

Odaat · 14/04/2014 10:24

Do you dothe feed everyday or every other day everyone? I always here conflicting advice on this one...

I'm very nervous too cupcake and Alizeed I will be scared if it is a positive too!

Odaat · 14/04/2014 10:24

Do the deed** sorry hahah

Odaat · 14/04/2014 10:25

Hear* omg still asleep!

KatoPotato · 14/04/2014 10:28

I've been recommended to every other day, as it takes time for your partner to build up more stocks!

Cupcake92 · 14/04/2014 10:33

I've been symptom sporting too! I should be but I am I'm 4/5 DPO I think, I'm peeing more but that could just be me drinking more I don't know lol!
Odaat we've only done the deed around ovulation. We have a 8 month old son so to do it every day/ every other day would be too tiring for me lol!!

tashalou · 14/04/2014 10:37

I'm symptom spotting too! Last week was nauseous and sore tummy and boobs... Think it was in my head though and last few days nothing so just expecting AF to rock up any day

KatoPotato · 14/04/2014 10:45

oh yrs, to add, we did it every other day around my OV date (every other day for the entire month sounds exhausting!!

alizeeod · 14/04/2014 11:19

I'm doing it everyday but it's because I'm off work all through the Easter holidays! I'm sure daily shags can't harm my chances! ;-)
I'm already symptom spotting too, so far back pains, period-type cramps and insomnia but it's probably all psychosomatic knowing me!

Theyvallgone · 14/04/2014 11:29

Hi everyone =) coming a bit late to the tread hope thats ok!

I came off Cerazette in January after being on either it or the implant for the past 7 years. Starting TTC this month ... not holding out much hope though as don't think my cycles have sorted themselves out yet :/ frustrating!!

Hope everyone is ok - looking forward to sharing the ups and downs :)

KatoPotato · 14/04/2014 11:31

Hi there!

I had my coil out in January too, and this is out first month sans protection!

Fingers crossed!

BearsInMotion · 14/04/2014 11:33

Ha! Yes, symptom spotting here - cramps, must be implantation! Don't think any of them are real, mind! Another 6 days until I POAS, will have gone mad long before then!!

Cupcake92 · 14/04/2014 11:53

Hi welcome! Theyveallgone!
Good luck hope u get ur bfp soon!!

I know we haven't got our bfp's yet but anyone have any names they've always liked or names they have considered?
I've always liked Mia for a girl and Theo for a boy :p

kitkatkaty87 · 14/04/2014 12:19

Hop everything is going well for everyone. I've been away all weekend at a wedding so no chance to DTD :S have stopped pill on Friday though :) which makes me happy!
Cupcake i love your names. We are thinkg Oscar for a boy and Rosa/Rosie for a girl :)
Wow, Mondays are so rubbish aren't they?! Bring on Friday again!

Cupcake92 · 14/04/2014 12:40

Kitkat I love Rosie for a girl! Such a pretty name :)
And ur right about Mondays! They are such a drag eugghhhhh
Roll in my holiday next week! I need it! And will see if I have a bfp also lol

alizeeod · 14/04/2014 12:45

I love Posy for a girl and Liam for a boy, unfortunately DP hates them both :(
We both quite like Dylan for a boy and Rose, Honor or Aurora for a girl.

KatoPotato · 14/04/2014 12:50

We already have a January born DS called Robin, and all being postive the next would be born in January too!

For another boy I love Felix, but our surname begins with an F so no joy there! I also like Toby...

Girls, hmmmm.... I like Emily, Anabelle/a or Jennifer.

kitkatkaty87 · 14/04/2014 13:41

all lovely names! I also like Robin and Charlie for a boy. Oooh talking about names makes me so excited!!!!!
Got a pack of 50 ovulation sticks through the post today - so know excuses now!
I'm off from Weds to to Tuesday this week - can't wait!
Anyone had any symptoms yet which might lead them to think it might be the month for them?!
