First month TTC#1....anybody else new to this game?

So, after 9 years together me and dh have decided to start trying. Last AF ended 29th June, I should be ovulating any day now. Very new to all this ttc malarkey so no idea what we're doing really!

I'm already making myself worry about a BFN in a couple of weeks. Didn't think I was that broody but it's all I can think about! Anybody else feeling/felt the same??

I thought AF has started yesterday, about 4 days early. I had about an hour of very light bleeding, then nothing until today, 2 drops is all I have today. That would make this month's sysle just 26 days which is very, very short for me. I am normally 30 or 31 but can be as little as 28 or as much as 32. Never this short. My boobs have been very sore since sunday and this is a new AF symptom for me. That has only started since we started TTC, I never had that before. I got it the 1st month of TTC too. If AF stays away today I may POAS tomorrow morning altough I am trying to leave doing that until saturday because I don't want to do it too early. Urgh. I wish it was more simple to tell.

Brenna24 · 27/08/2015 08:50

I had a tiny bit more spotting when I wiped today then nothing again. I need to wait until Saturday or Sunday to be sure AF is not coming for a visit efre I POAS. Arrgh, the wait!!!!

iamabear · 27/08/2015 21:45

Good luck Brenna! I've got my fingers crossed for you!
Let us know how you get on Casa!

I've just got my fingers crossed that AF coming at 7dpo last month was a one-off... that's all I'm looking out for at the moment! If I can get to this time next week without AF I'll be very happy indeed lol.

Brenna24 · 27/08/2015 22:05

Fx for you bear I hope you get a BFP next week instead of AF.

I have my legs clamped shut and my pelvic floor squeezed. Nothing is getting out without my say so!!!

Brenna24 · 28/08/2015 08:46

BFP this morning

Congrats Brenna! So happy for you!
Not sure where everyone has vanished to?

Brenna24 · 30/08/2015 11:19

Thank you. It has been very quiet, hasn't it?

Amyyyy8 · 30/08/2015 19:34

Hi Everyone,

Its my first post..... So be kind ????.

Its our 8th month of ttc this month. Fell pregnant in 1st month of trying in Feb but sadly suffered a miscarriage in April ????! Been ttc since then but no luck yet.

Im now 9 dpo and have symptoms but i convince myself i have symptoms every month... It drives me crazy ????. Thought id join and list my symptoms this time ????

1-5 dpo- just slight twinges and pain. A little heavy feeling in uterus.

6 dpo- tiny specks of brown/red on tissue but only when wiping.

7 dpo- cramping on left side of lower tummy

8 dpo- slight sick feeling and slight cramping.

9 dpo- really sore boobs and nausea ????. Feel abit crappy.

Planning on testing in 5 days and will defo let you all know how i get on ????. Sparkly baby dust to everyone ????

iamabear · 31/08/2015 22:00

Congrats Brenna! When you described your symptoms it did sound like it would be good news!

Hi Amy, wishing you luck, your symptoms sound quite strong.

I'll be on 9 DPO by morning so I'm quietly joyous that I've managed to hold on to my luteal phase for at least 2 days more than last month. Gives me hope that if we have managed to fertilise an egg it will have the chance to get comfy... I was worried that my period would come too early again.

I feel wretched and am ridiculously bloated but no specific symptoms. My temperature dipped today so fingers crossed it goes back up tomorrow.

iamabear · 01/09/2015 08:20

I spoke too soon Sad. Both months off the pill have now had 7 day luteal phases. That won't make a baby.

I have booked a GP appointment for next week but I'm fully expecting them to tell me to get stuffed :-(

Brenna24 · 01/09/2015 09:05

So sorry Bear Sad. They had better not dare tell you to get stuffed. If they do tell them back and get a new Dr. I read elsewhere here that large doses of vit B6 can extend your luteal phase. I hope it is just to do with coming off the pill and that your cycles get a bit longer.

Booking in with the midwives today. Shock It felt real when I phoned the Drs yesterday. Like telling a grown up makes things official Grin.

Amyyyy8 · 01/09/2015 09:26

So sorry bear Sad. When i came off the pill months ago, i was alllll over the place. Don't let the Dr fob u off. They do sometimes have a tendency to do that so just stand your ground.

Congratulations Brenna, super happy for you Grin

11 dpo for me today and i gave in and tested. Bfn. Ive been temping aswel and thats at 36.66. So who knows whats happening Sad

Casa2010 · 01/09/2015 14:15

Ah congratulations Brenna!! :-)

Sorry no one else is having much luck.

No AF for me yet...tempted to wait until this weekend then it'll be 4 weeks since my last but I'm not sure. Still got the cramps and when going to the loo 'no2' the muscles feel tight! Sorry tmi!! No more spotting though, tiredness is still with me.

Casa2010 · 02/09/2015 09:16

Does anyone else have achy shoulders?

Amyyyy8 · 02/09/2015 14:53

Hi Casa,

I havent got achy shoulders but my back hurts and so do my teeth :(. 12 dpo now and im getting cramps :(. Maybe AF is on her way. My temps r still up tho. Was 36.7 this morning. Planning on testing on Saturday i think. I hate being disappointed.

Good luck to everyone :)

Amyyyy8 · 02/09/2015 14:54

Oh and maybe tmi but im mega constipated too! So strange. The muscles feel super tight too

Casa2010 · 03/09/2015 14:16

Hey!
That's interesting, I'm the opposite to you with that end of things haha! Achy teeth could be a sign!! I know my friend said Her teeth hurt loads when she was pregnant.

Good luck if you test Saturday x - don't be disappointed, if it's a no, try try again Smile

Casa2010 · 05/09/2015 08:33

Hey! So today is the day my AF is due and we decided to buy a pack of tests last night, the clear blue ones. DH was itching for me to test last night but I thought I better wait until this morning. We both happened to be awake at 7 which is very unusual for a Saturday so I POAS and straight away the X appeared but I looked away and waited the 2 mins it said and the X was still very clear...showed DH and we are assuming that's a BFP for me!!! Can't quite believe it as its first month trying so going to do the other one later today or tomorrow!

TheCatsMother99 · 06/09/2015 06:49

Congratulations Casa! That's really exciting Smile

Brenna24 · 06/09/2015 20:41

Congratulations Casa

Pixie1988 · 20/09/2015 16:19

Congrats to all on this thread who got thier bfp Grin

Inwaiting · 04/10/2015 13:54

Hi girls.

Really sorry for the absence! Since we've been back from honeymoon work has took hold and I've been working ridiculous hours.

My friend got a BFP this week and we made a pact a while ago we wil be pregnant together so I've got back into the swing of tracking again.

Today I got a positive on the ovulation tests and dtd three times today so hoping that we are good to go! Nice that it's on a Sunday got the time! Lol

If things doesn't happen this month I think I'll book a doctors appointment to see if there's anything I can do to speed things up. We've been officially trying for 6months now (I know everyone else is in the same boat)

How are you all getting on?
