Newbies: anyone else just starting TTC#1 ?

[Joey0805]

Well that's it. After 13 years of being on the pill I am now not. For various reasons I didn't come off a few months ago to allow my cycle to get back to "normal" (who knows what that is when I was on the pill twice as long as I had periods naturally) so I have no idea how long it'll take me to ovulate. Anyone else in the same boat? Having spent my whole adult life assuming I'd get pregnant just by looking at a boy without BC I am now realising it might actually take months or even years to conceive. Plus I'm not talking about this with friends; they either got pregnant vv quickly or are no where near that stage. So, would be great to hear from a few of you in the same boat...

Hi, just wanted to join the thread as this is exactly what I am going through right now as well.
I'm 34 and my bf is 39, I came off the pill in March this year, but the boyfriend wasn't ready for a baby then so from March to October, he has been 'pulling out' sorry if tmi!
I was secretly hoping that I would still get pregnant but I obvs didn't. Now though he is definitely ready and November was our first month properly trying, but AF came on Boxing Day :(
I invested in the Clearblue ovulation test that gives you 4 fertile days so going to use that each month.
I get very regular periods but I just worry that there may be some issue with my bf's sperm and that's why it hasn't happened yet.
Trying not to become a crazy, obsessive lunatic but it's hard to try and remain calm and patient!!

Mind if I join? :)
Newly married, 24, not actively TTC but came off everything because of endometriosis, in August... Had an initial bleed beginning of September, then a 35 day cycle, followed by a 52 day cycle where they thought I had an ectopic... Now on cycle day 32 and nothing. Super bloated, waves of nauseous that are only, momentarily solved by food, my boobs are SO veiny and heavy and mega sore (never have this prior to AF)... I'm had 2 naps today, after an 11 hour sleep last night... I've done one test today which was BFN... But previously only test BFP at 8 weeks pregnant...
The idea only came to me when my friend mentioned my symptoms and said that was exactly what I was like the first time round!?
Help!!

We're trying to conceive #1. Both DH and I are 34, married in March. I cut my last pill pack short by 3 days in August and am currently on cycle 4.

I was on microgynon from 18 to 26 then brevinor from 26 to 34. Cycle 2 I was upto CD34, with BFN tests. I was terrified I wasn't ovulating, so have been using OPKs for cycle 3 and 4. I was disheartened with single lines for days, and the 1st positive OPK felt like a BFP!

I OVed CD16 in C3, and CD17 in C4 - so everything seems regular enough!

I'm C4/CD27, 10 DPO today. I've had cramps on and off, and sore boobs (same as last month 34dd and REALLY dislike sleeping in a bra, but needs must at the moment). After feeling so sad with the BFN's last month, I'm not testing until the day I'm due (NYE). Last month I was a day earlier than the ap I use predicted, so may not even have to bother.

Good luck to all x

Happy new year everyone!! Hope this is our year! Xxx

Hello,

I am new to this website. We are TTC first baby. It has only been a few months yet I am irrationally sad and worried it won't happen. Does anyone else feel like this?

Also, I have ready so many articles which have left me feeling I left it too late (I am 32). Is anyone else in the same situation?

I thought it would be a good idea to talk to people going through the same thing so I don't worry my husband too much.

Hi!

How's everyone getting on? Xx

Hi everyone!!

Just released haven't really been on this recently and neither has anyone else by look of it ????

How's everyone getting on? Xxx

Hi guys I come of the pill and iv been tcc. Iv already had one natural period but my second is 3 days late. I could of swore I'd get my period as I had lower abdomen cramps head aches and nausia. Iv just done a clear blue test and it was neg.going to do other one in the morning. Feeling very confused . Please help x

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind if I join...I'm new to TTC too and could do with some support!

I'm embarrassed to admit it but I'm obsessed with any slight symptom that might equal pregnancy, no matter how hard I try not to be, which leads to me POAS (lots) and getting a BFN so far ??

I can relate to your situation Fayexoxo92 because my period is late too but still no positive test...aaaargh it's driving me crazy!!

I suppose I've never really scrutinised my cycle before so maybe my cycle length is irregular rather than a late period? Oh well, it's not over this month until I get my period so,fingers crossed! Xxx
