New here TTC baby #1 Cycle #1

[Katilo2]

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

Ahhhh thanks woody, wander, mrsbac, brenna and Paige
I thought I'd just put my twist on it as I trawled through symptoms etc.... Really sore boobs, mild period type cramping, bloating, going to the loo for a wee loads and tearful! FYI I used an Amazon cheapie. Tbh that's all they use in the hospital and GP surgery. Good luck for testing at the weekend ladies! I hope I can hold onto this! X

Congratulations to all those with BFPs this month! I'm so happy for you!

I'm now in my 2ww but think we might have missed this month as have been staying with family so no opportunity to dtd!

However my cycle seems to be regular at every 31 days and ovulating on day 13.

I have a good feeling about December, could be intuition or just ttc madness! X

Congrats to wander and XL, so pleased for you both! Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy!

Thanks so much girls. Kind of doesn't feel real because i don't feel drastically different at all. I have an early scan booked for 7.5 weeks and you can apparently hear a heartbeat at that stage. That'll make the penny drop for sure, and probably me too!!!

Crossing my fingers for you girls too and will keep my eye out for more bfps on this luckiest of lucky threads

Congratulations Wanderlust Wish you all the best with your pregancy x

Wander how many weeks are you? Have you booked the scan privately?
I can't stop peeing!! It seems awfully early to find out and wait doesn't it... X

Morning ladies! Hope you are well? Today is day 28 for me. I think I am going to wait few more days before testing! (TMI) but I had some brownish spotting yesterday so suspect AF is on route! No other symptoms of either AF or BFP. Xx

I hope she stays away woody.
I'm on day 24; cycles go from 29-32. Trying to keep busy so working double shifts all weekend, didn't dtd as much as I would like over my fertile window so not getting my hopes up. X

Pixie, it only takes that one time, so don't be too disheartened! My cycle is anything from 28 - 39 days so going to hold out for another week! Should be easy as DH is the other side of the world from Mon & I wouldn't want to test without him here! Fx! Double shifts sound brutal! Don't over do it! X

Good luck pixie and woody! Have my fx for you x

Bfn on saturday. AF arrived this evening, 3 days late. Boo hiss.

Sorry to hear that brenna x

I am sorry to hear this Brenna! Hopefully it will be a special Christmas bean 😜

Unfortunately OH is away for a week in december, right around my fertile window. Testing positive on christmas eve would be amazing but highly unlikely. Oh well, at least I get to drink at christmas.

Ah sorry to hear that brenna.

Any news yet woody??

Xx

AF has not appeared I am day 32 now. My longest cycle this year is 38 days so going to hold out until then. Randomly I had a blood test last week when I mentioned I am TTC. my doctor called me yesterday & wants to see me tomorrow! Apparently the test showed I am not immune to Rubella and require a vaccine & he wants to discuss the other results but would elaborate! All very strange! Will keep you posted!

Best of luck Woody

Hi ladies!

Had my blood test results which indicate I have PCOS, which is disappointing. I saw a different doctor to the one I had seen previously, she didn't know that i had been asked to come back. Told her I thought it was to do with PCOS tests, she basically said it was unlikely, pulled up the results and immediately back tracked! So I am waiting for further tests. Came home & did a test, BFN! Also disappointing! So all a bit glum really!

Sorry to hear that woody. Sending hugs x

Big hugs Woody. PCOS doesn't mean you can't conceive though it may make it a bit harder. My sister had it and fell pregnant by accident the first time, then had a second planned child. At least with a diagnosis you can get treatment to help.

Thanks ladies! All a bit out of the blue as I have no other symptoms other than long cycles! Hopefully the scan will reveal more and the blood tests to confirm I am actually ovulating! X

Sorry to hear that Woody096 but hopefully with a diagnosis they can give you all the help you might need. I hope you don't mind me asking, but how did you convince them to give you a blood test and check it all out? I'm having a hard time getting anyone at my GP surgery to listen to anything I say...

Sorry to hear that woody, I seem to remember reading Victoria Beckham had that and she's got 4 now so there is hope! X

Thank Chilli & Ren.

I actually went to the doctors as I have really bad acid reflux, they were doing blood tests to rule out an ulcer.
I mentioned I was TTC & said I was a bit irregular so nothing had happened, she asked as it effected what acid reflux meds she could give me. she said we might as well do a full work up at the same time as she thought I was anaemic too! She was actually really lovely and a locum. Had I had the doctor I saw today I doubt anything would have been done. So it was pot luck that I got some bloods done. I am not sure how the rest of the diagnosis will go, the doctor said even with pcos I should have 12 months of TTC before making a referral, which might be fruitless if you're not ovulating in the first place, I guess it's the cost. Do you have concerns Chill?
