TTC for the first time - anyone else?

[innersanctum]

Hi all. I'm a newbie to Mumsnet. TTC for the first time - it's all new!

DH and I have decided to 'take the plunge' and TTC#1. I'm 27 and DH is 31.

It's our first month of trying.

Anyone else just starting out? Would be great to hear from anyone in the same boat and share along the way.

Welcome Kirstywa1! Most of us are all of our first cycle of TTC. We've just got great news from Alis with a BFP!

All this OVing business is a complete minefield. DTD was so straightforward before TTC, eh?

Definitely innersanctum! I have spent so much of my adult life trying not to conceive - TTC seems almost an impossible thing!!

Great news for the others with their BFP

Eeeek Alis congrats!!!

I'm 2 days late according to Ovia, 2 BFN's last week - couldn't help myself but I don't want to test again yet... I feel something going on with my body, it's not quite same as AF but she's such a bitchslap I'm sure she's just messing with me.

Awww the puppies!! I have two little Westies and they are adorable, kinda regretting getting them both neutered as would probably have done really well using one as a stud as his coat and temperament is absolutely perfect. Suffering from Ringworm in this house, I'm keeping my distance as medication isn't suitable for preggers ladies

I'm also worried AF is toying with me. Cramps and very sore boobies. Could be PMS. Could be preggers. The wait is agonising! Think I'm going to wait til Saturday to test (as long as AF doesnt turn up)

I think my body is playing tricks on me, i have had cramping and fluttering (not horrendous just odd) on and off for a few days although not due AF until 22nd and my nipples are very sore! I have a feeling I am going to drive myself mad - thinking I am then getting really disappointed when AF arrives!

I used clear blue double pack with a normal test and a digital one, the digital one puts me at 2-3 weeks so 4-5 in doctor speak. But my last period was nearly 7 weeks ago so not 100%. I'm not good at working this stuff out

I haven't told anyone in real life except my DH so it's nice to share!

I think this is 2WW symptom spotting going into overdrive - seriously this is only cycle one and I'm already going insane!! I keep telling myself AF is going to come any minute now so I'm not hugely disappointed when she does.

I am a firm believer that this everything we see/feel is completely and utterly psychological and when we do get a BFP we will have no symptoms whatsoever lol

I also drive myself mad symptom spotting but I don't share that with my DH as I think he'll think I'm crazy!

When I have an absolute, no doubt bfp I'll tell him :)

Alis really great to share your news. It's what we're all working for!

I hope you'll keep us update on here!

I've been getting DH involved in symptom-spotting by flashing my boobs at him, asking 'do they look different to you?' He says not. Don't think he minds either!

Hahaha I've done that to DH too, he's always willing to do a change in size feel I wonder why?

He's getting all excited and I think he just wants to know whether he's got another month of good sex coming up or not lmao

Hahaha. I have a sneaking suspicion my DH is hoping for a bfn too. At least for a couple of months.

Ladies!!!! Am I being crazy or is there a line that could possibly show up if I use fmu.....added the pic in black and white cos it totally shows up that way!! It's a real squinter...or am I insane?

Oops soz for the double message, didn't do the images properly on the first one

I can definitely see a line, especially in the b&w pic.
I reckon it'll show up darker with FMU. X

I can see a line!

I can see a line too

Ahh this is madness, I wasn't even going to test but then something told me to.

We will se again tomorrow/day after when I can go get more tests and use with fmu

Ooh good luck and please keep us posted xx

Oh my goodness this thread is getting rather exciting and sounding positive! My boobs are very sore but they are pretty weird at the best of times so defo don't think I am but would be rather exciting! Trying to get dh excited about it and failing miserably!

So so happy for those getting bfps! X

Oh and Dogonalead I defo see one on the black and white one! Eeek so exciting! X

Hi Ladies how's everyone doing today? Don't count yourself out Blimey I did and well so far I'm still getting faint BFP's

I went out this morning and got 3 more tests, 2 with red ink cos for the life of me I cannot see the blue ink on Clearblue!!! And I got a digi one to take just to make sure

Took one this avo as I'm really terrible at waiting and got another faint bfp, it's far easier to see in real life than in the pic...

If this is true puts my EDD at June 24th

How many days post ovulation did you test dogonaleash? Just curious as to when I can test but won't be for a while!

Ohh umm now you're asking the question.....I think it's about 14/15dpo If I did actually Ov on the day I thought I did.

I have a 32day cycle and I think I Ov'd on 28/29th Sept...ohh that means I possibly conceived on my birthday :D thats nice

How many dpo are you blimey?
