April ttc girls continued for may!

[kitkatkaty87]

New thread for the 'for those ttc in april' ladies and anyone one else who wants to join in....

Aww lulu things can go wrong but unless you try youl never know, and if you do have problems conceiving or anything your scared of happens we will be here to support you

Morning all!! Hope everyone's well today? I've missed loads! Hi to new ladies! [Smile]
I'm back from spain and just gone and lost my bloody voice!!!! My throat is absolutely killing, so glad I'm not back at work til tuesday.
Looking forward to getting back on the dtd mission tomorrow. DP's got 3 days off in a row which should be while I'm ov. Problem is that we kind of have to predict when the best days will be to dtd a week in advance so he can book those evenings off work.
Just wondering, am I the only unmarried lady on here?

Nope, we're not married although I'm not a lady

Hi all
Lulu you and I sound very alike I over think everything, I worry we won't conceive, I worry bad things will happen, I worry I won't be any good. I am just a worrier but nature. I've been told by loads this is really normal I think it's just the way I'm wired :-(.
As ducks says just try to keep calm, I think the fact your processing all this now means you will be an amazing mum :-)

Hi everyone

I've been lurking on the forums for a couple of months now and finally decided to join as I hate having no one to talk to about ttc!

I'm 27, DH is 35. We're ttc #1. I came off the pill at the end of January and it was over 7 weeks before I had AF (I was on cerrelle and my periods had stopped completely). Finally it came on 10 April so this was the first proper cycle of ttc. I'm not doing anything yet other than taking folic acid and using a period tracker app. Today is CD30 and no sign of AF yet but I seem to remember before I was on the pill (going back a long way now!) I had around 30-32 day cycles so I'm trying to hold off a few more days until i do a test.

This is just so hard, DH has told me he would prefer to know as little as possible to reduce pressure, so just wants me to tell him when i get a bfp and nothing else. I normally share absolutely everything with my friends but have a friend right now who has been ttc for 2 years and she really regrets the fact that they told everyone all about it. I told my mum I'd come off the pill but that's it! So hoping to offload by sharing with you ladies in the same boat!

I think it's natural to worry about any big decisions in life. It's the fear of the unknown! But you could worry about anything in the same way - might die 2moro etc, in the end you have to just resign yourself to the fact that things won't always go right but they also do. Try and think of the positive points like how exciting it would be when you find out and decorating a nursery and holding them for the first time (im welling up lol) it's hard to get bogged down with the negative what ifs and forget the positive what ifs :) I am also prone to catastrophise so this is how I try and look at things now :) xx

Unload away me264. I also have no one to tell really so it's great to be able to share on here - welcome!!

Thanks kitkatkaty! What did people do before the internet?!

Hi me! Good luck with TTC

Hello me :)

We've not told anyone we're TTC #2. Went out with friends recently who asked if we were thinking about another but you can't really say, "Yep, just finished a DTD marathon and now into the 2ww" in RL, just on here

Welcome me 264. I feel just like you about telling people so this forum really helps. It's a scary old time but love your attitude kitkat that is 100% how I am going to think.

Hi bears, oh I hate it when people ask! DH and I have been married for almost 3 years but I've been focusing on my career up until now. Since about 2 weeks after our wedding though people have been asking when we're going to have one ... it's so rude, for all they know I could have been trying all that time and been having problems! At least though by now they are used to me saying I'm concentrating on my career so the story hasn't changed!

Glad that was of some help. Sometimes it's nice to have a little positive beast of post to keep everyone going. I was feeling pretty down yesterday and thinking that has worked to pick me back up :)
Happy weekend everyone! I'm off for lunch to stuff my face in a bit - hopefully a few hours distraction from symptom spotting!
shame we can't all get together and have a coffee (decaf :p) really isn't it?!

It sure is kit kat, happy weekend all. Off for my Saturday sport day :-)

Ive hinted to close friends that we're thinking if trying for a baby this year but thats about it .Coming on here has been great , none of my close girlfriends have babies so can hardly ask them if shagging everyday or every other day is best !!DH has been really good but I limit what I tell him I dont want him to start worrying about !!

Thanks Katybear and Ducky and 624, it's nice to know it's not just me. I am lucky, DH likes to talk about things and he is quite sensitive. He is much more straightforward than me emotionally well balanced
His Grandma asked MIL in a very unquiet whisper foghorn voice 'Is there something wrong with them then?' We have just wanted a few years alone to enjoy being married. Grandmas are both in their mid/late 80s and no DGGCs yet.
DH's standard response to their 'you want to get on with it' comments is 'We're just doing lots of practising grandma, so when we do decide we'll know what we're doing'. They just shake their heads at him. They are very funny. If it does happen they will be knitting like mad hideous cardis and matching hats that tie under the chin no doubt. (For baby, not for DH)

We haven't told anyone about TTC. Unfortunately, this means only I get to listen to DH and all of his 'research' now he has discovered MN!

Anyway, I am off out shopping in town by myself- bliss!

Hi Me!
Good luck ttc! Ull have someone to talk to on here allllll the time! I've only mention to my closest friend that we are txt but that's it. Everyone else thinks it's to early but we know we are ready so I've kept it quiet :)

And Lulu everyone is scared about their first baby, I was terrified, but turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me and DH :) there's never a right time for anything tbh, especially a baby! But u only live once so make the most out of it :)

That we are ttc*
Stupid phone correcting things!

Hi everyone and welcome me624. This is my first month using opks and so far negative but hoping with get smilie face soon - DP due home from working away on a boat in the north sea on Monday so I will be ready to pounce!!! :)
ttc number 1 bfp due 26th May

Everyone kind of decided for us that we were TTC when we lost dd everyone pretty much told us that we should! So I felt under a lot of pressure! I think it's good to keep it quiet in RL.

Have a lovely weekend everyone

I've got a bot of ewcm today but not back home until tomorrow to use opks/dtd! Does ewcm mean I'm ovulating or that I'm going to soon?

Lillamyy I think it's means u will ovulate in the next 24 hours or something? I'm not sure tbh it all confuses me!

It's DS's christening tomorrow and I'm not ready for it at all! Been so stressful! I've just realised DS has no white shoes to go with his outfit and I don't even have anything to wear! I have no money left either as just done a massive food shop. Also DH's gran has decided to to get some caterers to do the food buttttttttttt is making them drop the food off at the venue 4 HOURS BEFORE it starts! It will get spoilt by the time we want to eat it but she won't listen to me when I ask if it can be dropped off an hour before. Deary me. I bet I sound like a right old moan box don't i! :p haha!
I'd love a glass bottle of wine but I'm being good for that bfp !
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Aww cupcake, it sounds like you've had the most stressful couple of weeks ever! I really hope things start looking up for you soon and you get your BFP
