New here TTC baby #1 Cycle #1

Katilo2 · 09/08/2015 16:45

Hello, I'm new to MumsNet. We are officially going to ttc baby #1 at the end of September but I'm 1dpo and in the 7 days leading up to ovulation we DBD 4 times. I'm so so hoping that AF won't make an appearance on the 22nd August! Just starting the tww. Anyone else in this boat, or anyone else ttc on cycle 1?

Best wishes,
K x

Morning.

Anyone on their TWW. How you getting on? I'm trying not to think about it too much but I just wanna know BFP or not! Trying to keep my mind busy x

MrsBac83 · 04/11/2015 12:01

Yeah I'm exactly the same Paige. AF due Monday I think so not long to go. Does keep distracting me though.
I have noticed I've been peeing more often the last few days which I'm hoping is a good sign. Keep debating doing a test. I drove myself crazy last month as well though so really trying to forget about it! Confused

redstrawberries101 · 04/11/2015 12:20

I'm on 2ww, due AF on Tuesday but this was our first month without contraception but when I checked the calendar I think I only caught a tiny bit of the fertile window. Not got any signs apart from peeing a lot but not banking on it really!

Paige43 · 04/11/2015 12:29

If Ovulated when I think I did AF is due next Friday. Although DH was away on business the two days after so only had the few days before and day of Ov so may have missed it also! I have ages to wait :(. So hard to keep focused. I've had in the last 5 weeks 4 people I know announce their bfp, which leads to mutual friends then asking when are u having one!

Still too early for signs for me. Hopefully implantation will be this week.

Good luck everyone x

redstrawberries101 · 04/11/2015 15:07

Fingers crossed for us all! Trying to enjoy this time and not get caught up in the stress! Easier said than done x

XL · 04/11/2015 16:31

Yep in the 2ww too! AF due next Friday.....13th! Shock maybe it might be good luck!! 5th time lucky... Have GP appt tomorrow for fertility referral to get the ball rolling just incase! Good luck ladies! x

XL · 04/11/2015 16:32

Oooo Paige looks like we're the same date!

Paige43 · 04/11/2015 16:45

So we are XL. ??. We can keep each other company while we wait lol.

XL · 04/11/2015 17:13

We can indeed! I'm desperately trying not to think about it too much but as you can see here I am!! Lol! X

Paige43 · 04/11/2015 17:51

Snap! Need to stay off Google also! I know i wouldn't have systoms but here i am on Google looking for signs lolx

redstrawberries101 · 04/11/2015 19:40

Ok so I know earlier I said I don't have any symptoms but I am 5 days away from when AF is due and I had a severe cramp a few mins ago. It was like a strong period cramp but seems bit early for those? Could it be an implantation pain?

redstrawberries101 · 04/11/2015 19:45

I'm about 9 dpo but thinking about it I have broken out in a spot, my face is slightly greasiest and I lashed out at hubby for no real reason (he didn't do any of the admin jobs I asked him to do) so I think it's just AF getting ready to appear!

redstrawberries101 · 04/11/2015 19:53

Ljomrs, fx your bloods come back ok. I saw a gynaecologist last year as I was suffering from frequent uti's and getting thrush (tmi!) and the urologist sent me to her just for a second opinion. She had asked if I suffered from vaginal dryness and I said no but she gave me a course of vagifem anyway which is local oestrogen as she thought I was maybe getting irritated in that area because of the recurrent infections. Anyways to cut a long story short , I also mentioned I had noticed some facial hair and I asked if it could be PCOS but she said it was highly unlikely because I didn't really fit any criteria apart from the dryness which could or could not be hormone related. I put that to bed and went to the GP a few months later saying the dryness felt bit worse (I think i noticed it a lot more) and she said oh you've been diagnosed with PCOS haven't you? I was like erhmmm no. She did bloods and twice my prolactin levels came back high but all else normal. I worried for about six months regarding this PCOS diagnosis because she wasn't willing to send me to the gynaecologist again but instead wrote to a different one who never got back and then eventually wrote to the gynaecologist I had initially seen. She then told me that the gynaecologist had said if I have it, it will be a very mild form but she didn't think I had it. The GP had put me under all that stress for nothing! The stressful thing was that she was so blaze about it when I said I want a proper investigation and diagnosis rather than just leaving at a diagnosis based on what seemed trivial. I should mention that I was on the contraceptive pill around this time and when I came off it, the dryness improved tremendously! So it probably wasn't really related to PCOS anyway.

MrsBac83 · 04/11/2015 21:16

Wow what a polava melvali! All that stress for nothing!
I'm 5 days away from AF too. Feel slightly nauseous most days, nips are super sensitive, bloated, dizzy and today (I've been counting) I've peed 14 times!!
I did test tonight (first ever) but bfn. Will still hold out for hope on no show for AF and re-test.

redstrawberries101 · 04/11/2015 22:32

It was a palava.. It sounds like you've got all the symptoms!! Maybe a bit early to test. Try and relax n let the magic happen! Smile

Every month I'm trailing the boards symptom spotting it's outrageous! Most months I seem to have some of them! Shock

redstrawberries101 · 05/11/2015 05:59

I think it's just near impossible as I seem to get the same symptoms for AF (apart from nausea). I don't think I would be able to successfully spot a pregnancy!

MrsBac83 · 05/11/2015 07:34

Lol I know what you mean, I was convinced I was last month as had all the symptoms! It's like mother nature is teasing us! Angry
Have you heard the ad on the radio too for flu jab? " Are you expecting a baby?" Have found myself shouting NO! at the radio lol.

Paige43 · 05/11/2015 08:06

I find my self looking at my boobs say hmm do you look bigger today Grin.

The mind can be mean. Stop playing tricks on us!

Hope your GP appointment goes well today XL xx

redstrawberries101 · 05/11/2015 17:54

Lol haha!!

XL · 05/11/2015 22:37

Thanks Paige have an appt at local hospital 11th Dec to discuss referral. Meanwhile have some forms to get all my bloods done for hormones and DH sample to rule out any other problems (don't need any more!) so at least well have all the results ready for that appt. hope you're ok, and not symptom spotting too badly! x

Paige43 · 05/11/2015 23:02

Great news you have a date and are getting the necessary tests done in preparation for it.

I have been on Google I must admit! However that's because I also saw my GP today, about something not related to TTC. Anyways we got talking about TTC and I mentioned one or two thongs that i have notoced/felt down there. So she did an internal examination and all looks good, but she did notice there was a bit of blood on my cervix and therefore thinks AF will be paying a early visit any minute. Looks like I might be leaving you to go it alone till Friday XL x :(
