Relaxed TTC Feb/March/April 2016

Hi,

We've just agreed to start TTC #1 in March so just starting to look at preparing for that - prenatal vitamins, losing some weight, etc.

I'm 33 and have only been with my OH for just over a year but we're both sure this is the relationship for us...we'll be getting married but want TTC as a priority and fit any wedding around Mother Nature.

Not planning any temp checking or charting or such like....maybe I'll change my mind if I'm not preggers after six months or so!

Anyone planning TTC about the same time and want to keep in touch on this thread for relaxed catch ups about preparing and then TTC?

Hi all,

I'm also on a health kick, I've had a ad back for the last year after falling down stairs, so I want to get my core strength back a bit!

I'm three days late though, and even though we only DTD once I'm secretly dreaming about being pregnant!

Pointlessfan · 16/01/2016 19:11

Wow! Everyone has been doing well with weight loss, healthy living etc!
Welcome new people.
I'm stuck waiting for my period to end before the er...action can begin!

I'm leaving it at least 3 days. AF should have arrived by then!

Pointlessfan · 16/01/2016 21:45

Good luck mango!
I'm wavering now the time to start ttc is close, worried about money mainly.

MoodyOne · 16/01/2016 22:47

Ohh good luck mango! I have everything crossed X

AliceScarlett · 17/01/2016 08:04

Good luck Mango!

Pointless I was exactly the same, especially on the actual day I didn't start contraception this month, but it passed quite quickly.

Nimisha · 17/01/2016 13:35

I'm the main earner in my family (dh have a new business and isn't actually making a profit yet) so money is an issue. I need to save up loads to be able to have 6 months maternity leave and certainly won't be able to have any more than 6 months.

I'm 36 though so I don't want to leave it too long though just in case.

Hope everyone is well and those going through the 2ww are keeping busy so it goes fast! I've been ill with a kidney infection but much better now. Almost at the end of my January pills, five more to go! Then I only have two or three packs (Still not 100%) to go and it will be ttc time! X

Kidney infections are horrid....glad you're starting to feel better Theresa.

I'm desperately trying not to symptom spot considering we only DTD once during the right time and it's waaaaaay to early to have symptoms but of course I can't help it. Have been crazy bloated for the past 3 days and a tiny bit queasy yesterday...most likely I ate something weird though! Grin

Same! I'm like, oh I feel ever so slightly nauseous, I wonder.... Lol, ridiculous. 2ww is more frustrating than I thought.

isthatpoisontoo · 19/01/2016 10:24

I'm in the same position as Mango, on day 30 of a 28 day cycle, and not a single symptom of my period (usually I get cramps, etc, for a couple of days beforehand). I only noticed this, of course, after I went to the loo this morning, so now I'm at my small office with a pregnancy test in my bag. I keep telling myself the chances are very low, we only DTD once, probably too early for ovulation (day 11-12), but I'm going to be thinking about it until I can test at lunchtime!

Good luck! Don't be too sad if it's a BFN though, you'd be very lucky to be preggers in the first month!

Glamorous office restroom photo. Is this what I think it is? Or am I just confused in my effort to get out of the toilet before it's so long it looks suspicious?

Looks like a BFP to me!! Omg so excited for you! 1st one of the thread. Woooo xx

isthatpoisontoo · 19/01/2016 13:38

We weren't even trying yet! We only did it once, not even at the right time. I've got a clingy wedding dress and gallons of champagne scheduled for the end of Feb! And a hen party with cocktails. I have about 50 opks to use up!

Argh!

TheresaMarie55 · 19/01/2016 13:52

Poison, that my friend is a bfp! A very clear one at that, no mistaking. Congratulations hun x

TheresaMarie55 · 19/01/2016 13:53

October baby for you poison 😊 my girls are both October born, great month to have a baby haha x

AliceScarlett · 19/01/2016 13:57

Those swimmers were waiting for your egg Grin Wedding dress be fine, just have to stay off the champers!

Poison....bloody hell! What a start to the BFPs on the thread...once and done!!!

The dress will be fine but sad times about the champers. It's Sod's law that you'd be upduffed immediately....if you'd have been desperate to conceive this month I bet it would have been monthsWink

Will you tell DP today by text or this evening?

OP posts:
isthatpoisontoo · 19/01/2016 14:06

The shock is wearing off and the happiness gaining a foothold. I'm just so surprised! You all seem so sure. I'll be cleaning a shop out of tests to double check on the way home.

isthatpoisontoo · 19/01/2016 14:12

He just called, it was so hard to keep my mouth shut. I'll tell him this evening. He started a new job on Monday, I don't want to distract him at work.
