TTC #1 hoping for BFP before xmas.

[babybelle1]

Hi

I am new to mumsnet and just wanted to start a new thread for those who have maybe just started ttc or have been for a while and their goal is to get a bfp before xmas this year.

I have just started ttc and not long off microgynon so waiting to see what happens. Not telling anyone as me and DP want to keep it to ourselves until bfp to avoid any pressure so just looking for some internet friends to chat to!

Great news Bluebird. Now you can really get going!

Still no AF here, 2 days late now. DH has been away so hopefully going to test today...

So glad AF is back for you bluebird

Suebridehead I think I ovulate on CD19/20 ish. I have been temping which has helped me see when I ovulated.

FX for everyone else xx

Brilliant news Bluebird!

I hope mine arrives soon, getting very disheartened. It'll be nine weeks on Tuesday.

Great news Bluebird! Idle, I'm also still waiting. Been 4 weeks now for me...

Still no AF here but just got a bfn. I am normally really regular so not sure what is going on.

purple you cannot go by what was normal as our cycles are now controlled by us releasing eggs not drop in hormones because of lack of pills.

Hang in there

Thanks Freedom I haven't been on the pill for years but I suppose there are other things it could be. I'm going to try again in the morning and take it from there.

Great bluebird

It took me something like three months to get AF after I stopped taking the pill.

Thanks ladies, it's good to have her back!

I really hope AF turns up soon for you Idle and Princess, it does seem it is just totally random.

Purple maybe just too early? Let us know how you get on tomorrow.

I know what you mean Pigriver, it's exciting but equally terrifying!

purple I was only on the pill for 3 years and had to wait 95 days I agree with bluebird it us very random. I tested twice when AF did not show after 3 months and BFN. Stressing does not help but it was hard not to stress. AF will turn up.

I'm very much hoping AF does not turn up still. I have had regular AF for months now after having a baby last October and this is the first month it hasn't shown up on the exact day it was expected... Time will tell I guess.

Giraffe FX! Sounds optimistic. I've accidentally on purpose not temped this cycle, just trying to DTD as often as poss, hope we don't miss it. I've started taking Seven Seas 'trying for a baby' too so not sure if that will affect anything...

Er, I meant sounds promising

Thanks Squiish it was promising I have just got a bfp this morning! So relieved as I didn't know what was going on otherwise.

I have never done the temping, this time or last, but I did use the my days ap...

Ahhh congratulations purple that's fab news! What a great start to your day

Congratulations purple

Thank you! It is a very nice surprise after yesterday's bfn.

Thanks freedom and congratulations purple!

I am on cd31 now and no AF....this is the latest I have been since coming off the pill at new year. I did a test on cd29 which was a bfn, trying not to let myself get excited as dh had a sperm test two months ago that was awful, so I know it's unlikely, but still can't help hoping, esp as my usual cycle is around 28 days.....now on running to the loo every half hour and expecting to see blood. I think if AF doesn't show by tmrw I will be getting very excited. Fx

Gemerama that is exactly what I have been doing. Hope it doesn't show up!

Congrats purple great news

Congratulations purple

FX for you gemerama

Cheers ladies. From looking online I'm thinking most likely scenario is that the mum to be vitamins I have started taking have lengthened my cycle as apparently b6 does that. Still hopeful but think it's probably the vitamins!!

Can I join?
Took my last pill (microgynon) 2 days ago so now officially ttc #1! Exciting and scary time. Been reading all the stories on here and seems as though everyone had had different experiences. Going to try and not get too caught up and just go with it and hope for the best!
Good luck to you all ttc and congrats to those who've already had a BFP - fingers crossed it doesn't take too long for us!

Hi all, I desperately need advice!

I stopped taking my pill on 19th August. Since then, we've been DTD every 2- days. I'd had one withdrawl bleed for a few days after stopping the pill. I have no idea if and when I am ovultating, and there's no sign of AF (but, I guess I may already be pregnant if I'm lucky in whcih case she won't show up!)

I had really bad cramps yesterday (so much so it stoppd me doing wht I was up to) so I thoguht AF was going to show up, but nothing.

When do I do a pregnancy test? Do I leave it until the end of the month or am I a lost cause until AF makes an appearance?

Congratulations purple

Saturday feels so far away (that's when I'll POAS). Thick, creamy cm (TMI!) but that's the only thing which is different.
