Hello there

Is there anyone else on here trying for their first baby around the same age as me? 25/26? Would love to talk to someone about it as I am currently driving my husband mad with all the TTC chat!

Hey ttc yeah I can get one soon but will it show up if I'm not using FMU? I'm only around 11dpo 🤔 I can send the OH now but I'm scared it won't show up 😁😁😁 I've been asleep most of the day so I knew something was up xx

Twistedsister7 · 27/12/2016 20:27

Amz I can see a very faint line. Get a frer asap but save for fmu. FRERs can detect 6 days before af due I believe. Fx for you xx

ttcnovice · 27/12/2016 20:43

Yes Amz I'd wait for FMU too if you can hold out. Fx for a nice, clear BFP in the morning!

88claire · 27/12/2016 20:50

Eeek that's exciting!! Good luck!!

bluebell17 · 27/12/2016 21:00

I can see a line on the second one amz.

Let us know when you get the FRER test done tomorrow!! Congratulations!!

Amz26 · 27/12/2016 21:50

Thanks everyone I'm going to test in the morning!! I just wanted to see what you all thought about it!!! I will keep you all updated 😘

Amz26 · 27/12/2016 22:55

Couldn't help myself

TTC - First time!
88claire · 27/12/2016 23:53

Massive Congratulations AMZ! Fabulous news!

I couldn't help myself and got a test In town and got a BFN Sad. So I'm now day 43 which is the longest I've ever been with no sign of AF and STILL getting positive ovulation sticks. I'm worried there's something seriously wrong now... Ive ordered some bits online (raspberry leaf tea and agnus castus and cod liver oil) to see if I can naturally regulate things but I've also booked another Gp appointment as I can't help thinking with no idea about cycle length and potential ovulation dates I'm Gonna have a really hard time conceiving.

Anyway at least I've been able to enjoy the Christmas Wine!!

Amz26 · 28/12/2016 02:27

Thanks so much claire

Sorry to hear that you're still getting a bfn :( I think that's a good idea to go back to the doctors if you're still getting the positive on the OPK! Fx you get some answers soon xx

Twistedsister7 · 28/12/2016 08:42

Congratulations Amz FlowersFlowers

I myself am having a barely visible line opk but all the signs of ovulation. Who knows what's going on. Just dtd regularly & hope for the best.

mrsjkerry · 28/12/2016 09:02

Amz any tips!! As I am currently finished cycle 4 and entering 2WW...

My fertile window changes each month according to Ovia. Anyone else?

Amz26 · 28/12/2016 12:15

To be honest mrsj it was just more luck than judgement I got my BFP.. We are so shock still! I came off the pill in December and I think I ovulated around the 16th but we only DTD 3 times around that week and every time my partner was on top!! Also stayed on my back for around 15min... That's it really! I really hope this month you get your BFP too xx

Lozalooloo3 · 28/12/2016 12:22

Amz. Congratulations!!!
Did you have and signs or symptoms before the BFP!? I'm in a similar position, came off pill in December, think I Ovulated around CD19 and now I'm in the dreaded 2ww, I know it's too early to test at 10Post ovulation but I can't stop thinking about it!

Here's to some more BFP in the new year! X

ttcnovice · 28/12/2016 12:39

Wow Amz congratulations!! How amazing in your first cycle! Enjoy every minute xxx

Amz26 · 28/12/2016 13:02

Thanks ladies!
loza- very similar position to me! I think I tested at 11dpo but that is very early! My boob are a little sore and yesterday I was so tired I slept all day.. That's why I did the test!! I got a very very faint line and the went out to get a clear blue! I had a feeling I was tho, just felt different.

Thanks ttc It's so crazy I feel like I'm on a roller coaster xx

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 28/12/2016 13:47

Hey ladies, may I join in?!
Congratulations on the bfp's by the way, lovely news!!
I'm 28 and TTC #1 (after having a mmc 4 weeks ago)...I'm ready to start again. AF hasn't returned just yet but we are going to try anyway as of New Year's Day Smile We want to try and enjoy our nye together and start a fresh in 2017.
Good luck to everyone else waiting for a bfp Star

Welcome Littlemiss Smile sorry about your mmc Flowers

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 28/12/2016 14:25

Thank you ttcnovice. How are you getting on?! Xx

Twistedsister7 · 28/12/2016 22:05

Woooo finally a positive opk. All a little late this month. I said I wasn't going to use but I caved when my body wasn't doing what was expected. Fx for the tww now. Anyone with me?

mrsjkerry · 28/12/2016 22:26

I am in the 2WW as well twisted. Just want to test now...!

Lozalooloo3 · 28/12/2016 22:40

Anybody else have really long cycles? I've had two since coming off the pill (1st was a withdrawal bleed) then it was 38 days until af showed up. Tired to track ovulation with the clear blue kit and got a positive on CD18, so I'm currently 10days PO and have horrible cramps today, on and off, and also a shooting pain in my V region (sorry TMI) I tortured myself my doing a PG Test today and of course it was BFN ... I know it's only very early in our TTC journey, but you just can't help put wonder can you? X
Fx to all x x x x

88claire · 28/12/2016 23:02

Lozaloo

Yep I feel your pain... Im currently day 44 with no sign of a period Angry. I've just remembered I took the pill for a month two months ago to stop my period while I was on holiday so hoping that's the reason and it might sort itself out. I'm also having bloods and seeing a doctor just to make sure! I'm only on cycle number one but it's frustrating not being able to move on and try again with no period!

Twistedsister7 · 28/12/2016 23:14

My first cycle off bc was 40+ & so frustrating. Although looking back I had a few days of what I thought was spotting. After another cycle I decided that could have been af but it's all educational. I'm on cycle 2 actively trying as didn't count first long cycle.

It's ironic that you spend teenage years & early 20s thinking one mishap will have you pg yet when you want that it's a science. Soooo frustrating.

No one knows we are ttc & my mil keeps going on how she'd like a gc & we should try harder. I may say to DH that after 6 months, if no bfp then we should tell parents.

Sorry for the ramble, feeling really negative lately xx

88claire · 28/12/2016 23:56

Twisted

Sorry to hear you are having a hard time, chin up Flowers. We haven't told parents yet either but my sister and best friends know. I want to tell people but so worried things will take ages!

I know there was girls at school with me who fell pregnant after one drunken night... How?!? Confused

Twistedsister7 · 29/12/2016 08:06

88 same here, it's so frustrating.

My sister & best friend know but sister has her own stuff going on & bf not child friendly lol.

Mumsnet is great though.
