Looking for a Mum-to-be to buddy up! I'm TTC number 1 and not had any luck so far, having a couple of months off before we start trying again. x

Well either way he won't be going straight to sleep tonight that's for sure lol
we managed yesterday and if manage tonight and maybe tomorrow we may cover it. Wink Wink

will still keep doing ov tests over next few days too x

Issie339 · 12/04/2015 10:33

This is day 4 of my tww now- eek! I promised myself I wouldn't test early this time but I've just done the weekly online shop and couldn't resist adding some of the expensive HPTs to my order, the ones that you can use from 6 days before your missed period. Gonna try really hard this month though!!

How's everyone else getting on? Anyone else definitely in their tww now?

VioletIbiza88 · 12/04/2015 11:40

ANother negative opk this morning, so I might be issie. One app says I ovd Friday my other says its tomorrow. Still bd'ing eod just to be sure. What day are u aiming to wait for issie to test? Is everyone testing then an not just waiting for a missed/late af?:-)

nickynackynoo31 · 12/04/2015 13:08

I've had another neg this morning so I'm totally confused....haha

Wellthen · 12/04/2015 13:53

Hello all. Hoping to start ttc #1 in August -its lovely to know there are more out there feeling like me! Been waiting for a long time like some of you and I can't quite believe its nearly here! Gonna start taking prenatal vitamins soon and I've been working on trying to get fit for a while. Its slow going but I do think my stamina and strength are better.

Anyone else taking supplements?

VioletIbiza88 · 12/04/2015 14:04

Wellthen welcome, I've just been taking folic acid. Also felt ready for quite a while, just acase of waiting OH to catch up lol xx

VioletIbiza88 · 12/04/2015 14:05

Nicky, could you have ovd before u started opk'ing do u think?? X

Brooke113 · 12/04/2015 14:48

I feel so yucky today :( really super crampy and dizzy, just like before you start AF SadI've still been doing ov tests as I'm not certain I did ov around Cd12. I Did one yesterday that was completely negative and other one but a different brand in the evening which was quite dark, so confusing, yet today's there was barely a line there, it was so faint :( my Cycle is around 34 days, so I should (in theory) ovulate today hmm

Welcome- wellthen, I started a multi vit this cycle, with folic acid etc in :)

Issie339 · 12/04/2015 15:34

Violet, I'm aiming to wait until a missed AF and then test but don't know if I'll hold out that long, I've tested early every month so far. I'll try and hold out as long as I can anyway! Missed AF would be 22/23 April, earliest I can test would be 17/18 Aprils. Eek!

Hi Wellthen. Why are you waiting until August to ttc, is it another wedding for this thread? We have a lot on here! I'm just taking folic and cutting down caffeine that's it.

Brooke, dizzy and crampy could be good signs, fingers crossed for you.

VioletIbiza88 · 12/04/2015 15:52

Issie if mine's a 28 day cycle I could test on the 24th if 31 then the 27th. Thosewould be days af due. NNearly same time. Good luck x

nickynackynoo31 · 12/04/2015 16:32

Hi wellthen. ...welcome to all us crazy ttc ladies lol.
I'm just taking folic acid too.

maybe I did ov before I started testing but I'm not sure....

VioletIbiza88 · 12/04/2015 16:53

Nicky, if I don't get a positive tomorrow I'm pretty sure it was before I started testing.

VioletIbiza88 · 12/04/2015 16:55

U planning to test or wait??

Lookingforadvice123 · 12/04/2015 17:03

What's everyone doing in terms of alcohol? My app tells me I'm in my fertile period so we have been dtd every other day since Wednesday. I had a party last night and had LOADS to drink! And feel a bit rubbish about it today tbh, like it might have had a negative expect on the process this month. I never planned to cut out alcohol as this is only our first month trying and I'm aware it could take a while! But I had way too much last night tbh. Thinking of cutting down a bit, I only drink on the weekends but if I'm out it can end up being a lot!

Wellthen · 12/04/2015 17:33

We are getting married soon but, very similarly to someone up thread, our honeymoon would not be good to be pregnant on! I would love to try from now but it seems silly to risk being sick and tired on my honeymoon just for the sake of a few months.

I'm trying to be as Zen as possible and keep telling myself 'it'll probably take a year, a couple of months doesn't matter'

I'm not planning on using ovulation tests or anything (beyond keeping track of my cycle as I haven't had periods for a while) as I think it'll just send me crazy! Its so comforting to know that other people do stuff like plan the nursery and have to hold themselves back from buying baby clothes! I hope i'll feel calmer once we actually start. Anyone else going for just regular sex?

Lookingforadvice123 · 12/04/2015 17:41

Me and DH are just having regular sex, no opks, temperature taking or anything. I've got the Ovia app which tells me when my fertile window should be, but dh knows nothing about it as I feel it would put pressure on both of us.

nickynackynoo31 · 12/04/2015 17:58

violetibiza88. ..I think I'm going to try and wait as I think I've missed my time but I know what im like and waiting is impossible...

I'm thinking of just going with the keeping track of my cycle and seeing what happens as this is first month of trying again and it's driving me insane Sad Sad Sad ..not sure if the just do it and see what happens approach is a better way than stressing everyday when neg tests arrive x

VioletIbiza88 · 12/04/2015 18:38

Think I will test if I'm late for a 28 day cycle, obviously unless i get a late positive opk. So Saturday 25th April, so 1 week and 5 days to go!!

I've cut out alcohol, dont really drink that much anyway, I only drink it when we visit my dad, as he likes to go to the pub when we visit him or have some wine at home. I've not visited him for a bit now!

Issie339 · 12/04/2015 19:18

I don't really drink much alcohol so not too much of a problem but I'll be trying to avoid it altogether in my tww just in case.

Wellthen- another wedding, congratulations! Exciting year for you then. We've been trying for 6 cycles now and although I used opks at first to work out my cycle I've stopped this month and we're just making sure we're dtd around the right time- no apps, opks or temp taking (have never done temp taking, seems complicated).

Issie339 · 12/04/2015 19:20

I week and 3 days for me Violet- eek! We'll have to symptom spot together Wink

VioletIbiza88 · 12/04/2015 19:52

Yes definitely!! :-)

nickynackynoo31 · 12/04/2015 20:44

violetibiza88 ....I'm exactly the same as you too ð???

I don't think it will be my month but it will be nice there's a us and issie339 around the same time Smile Smile x

Issie339 · 12/04/2015 21:04

Yeh it's nice to have people to chat with who are going through the same thing at the same time.

Today's symptom is tingling and sore boobs, though I might be imagining this because I'm thinking about it too much! Lols

nickynackynoo31 · 12/04/2015 21:26

mine today was funny taste in my mouth when I woke up which I had with both my other 2!!!!

but I'm probably imagining it too Sad x

Issie339 · 12/04/2015 21:46

A promising sign Nicky if you had the same with your other 2.
