Relaxed TTC Feb/March/April 2016

[stumblymonkey]

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?

I'm giving up with testing too it's making me too grumpy!

Not quite at your stage yet but I'm planning on testing only when AF is overdue.. We shall see how that goes...

cateroo I agree about the indent lines on First Response! They didn't use to be like that.

I pissed on my first stick! I think I'm about 10dpo and it was like tenth wee of the day... Don't know what I was doing there, weird impulsive moment. Needless to say bfn.

I've had BFNs too. I totally failed to wait until AF which is due on Sunday.

Not expecting the BFN to change so that will be me onto cycle three already!

I've bought the cheap preg tests from amazon and it's just a strip to dip into the urine. Don't know what i was expecting really!

Yes....they still work though!

Wisa instead of counting on a calendar I just thought day 14 would be 2 weeks after period started so if period started on a Monday I'd ovulate 2 Mondays later. Turns out it's actually the day before i.e. the Sunday (tomorrow in fact!).
Have had lots of sex this week anyway! (sorry TMI!)

Right, got you! Not like you're out by much, though!

I'm currently taking 5mg of folic daily. Just ask your GP to prescribe it and say you're TTC. Shouldn't be difficult. Ideally you want to be starting it 3 months before you get pregnant anyways as eggs are developing that whole time.

They are so tiny arnt they! I was expecting something a bit more substantial, no idea why.

Much smaller than the Royal jelly capsules I'm taking. It's silly, though, I'm not sure why I'm taking them his early as I really don't expect we will fall first cycle trying in May, I just want to be sure everything is as good as it can be just in case!

Hi everyone
Well I can't quite believe it but have gone from a stark bfn yesterday to a fairly hefty pink line today I think I am either 10 or 11dpo.

I am v shocked as it has always taken me around three months to get bfp.

Am very happy but slightly scared as have had two m/c in the past at week 7. Fingers crossed this time that it's not too good to be true.

Good luck to you all and remember that a negative one day can be a positive the next!

Congrats Felipa! Fx for you over the next couple of months.

How exciting Felipa! Fingers crossed that this one sticks!

Congratulations Felipa!! Really hope its a sticky one

Thanks everyone, am quite nervous.

Really hoping that there are some more bfps here!

Congrats Felipa!!!

Congratulations Felipa and good luck.

Felipa was this your first month trying?

Yes the first month, that's why I'm so shocked! Had planned on it happening end of March/April, def didn't expect it so soon.

Also surprised at how dark the test is compared to yesterday's bfn!!!

Cool! Was it an internet cheapie or frer?

It was a FRER. Have done an Internet cheapie too and there is a faint pink line

Congratulations Felipa! Wheeeeeey!

Yay! Congratulations!!
