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!

Hello all!! I'm TTC for the first time as well. I'll be 25 next month. I've been really impatient and driving my fiancé insane. I recently (3wks ago) got off nexplanon after having it in for 6 years. Still no period yet not sure how long it's supposed to take but it's driving me insane!!!!

Anyone else in the 2WW and symptom spotting? So far I have sleeplessness, swollen boobs and indigestion. Plus a generally fuzzy head like a hangover. Not unusual for me, and have been here before, so know full well it's not necessarily pregnancy related...

MrsJ I'm now in tww & symptom spotting even though I know I'm always tired & the pain was ovulation. Siiiigh.

Twistedsister7 · 29/12/2016 13:22

Franny I had that removed on 7th Nov & predicted af for 21/11. Had minimal bleeding I classed as spotting but having had second af right on cue I now believe that was first af. I dismissed it as before bc I was a heavy bleeder so expected same. Seems not the case.

It's frustrating waiting & I really got my hopes up that I was pg. easy said but try to restrain yourself lol.

londonfeather · 29/12/2016 17:24

I'm set to test any day now, but I'm away from home so trying to hold off. The last 10 days been getting stabbing pains in my side and a weird feeling in the veins in my thighs which has been odd. Boobs feel normal though - so who knows!

user1482261465 · 29/12/2016 19:35

Hi Xmas Smile My DH and I are ttc our first baby and I'm 27. It's hard to explain how much ttc takes over your brain sometimes even to your other half lol xx

bluebell17 · 29/12/2016 19:39

Twisted - I know the feeling. I'm on cycle 3 now and had two very horrible cycles since coming off bc. In laws keep asking when we will have a child, commenting on my natural skills with taking care of nephew etc and it makes me feel bad that we haven't been successful yet. I told DH too that perhaps we should tell them as it might make them stop with the comments. I think I just take it all to heart too much though!

Twistedsister7 · 29/12/2016 21:04

Bluebell - it's a sensitive time so taking it to heart is to be expected. I really think after 6 months & no bog I will suggest telling them because then maybe she'd think twice. She honestly means well & it's her dream to have a gc local as her two others live the other end of the country but if she knows we are ttc I think she would say less to me. We'll see. Maybe this is my month. It's going to be a long two weeks.

Let me know how you get on too xx

Twistedsister7 · 29/12/2016 21:06

BFP not bog....

Good luck feather, fx for you x

bluebell17 · 29/12/2016 21:27

Thanks twisted. Will keep you all posted. I've just posted in another forum too - I've had a weird, incredibly light AF which has lasted ten days. Finally gone away and now I have cramps again and feel emotional. Who knows what is going on inside my body. But, let's wait and see. Fingers crossed for you for your January BFP!! X

ttcnovice · 30/12/2016 19:36

Evening all Smile how's everyone getting on?

I'm on CD14 today (or maybe only 13 as AF appeared late at night) and no signs of a positive OPK yet. Ovulated on CD16 last cycle so have been DTD the last couple of days just assuming it'll be the same.

Been using preseed but not properly with the applicators yet - think we'll give that a go tomorrow though! Wish me luck for that, sure it'll be straight forward not Grin.

Hugs TTC. I am sitting here feeling sick as a dog but telling myself it's the cold weather and travelling I've done today. Still 5 days from a pregnancy test according to Ovia but has been a week since estimated ovulation.

Trying not to get my hopes up...

ttcnovice · 30/12/2016 23:00

You never know mrsj I think implantation can happen at any point between 6 and 12 DPO, so at 7DPO you're within that timeframe! Fx for a positive reason for you not feeling well beyond your travelling and the cold weather!

londonfeather · 31/12/2016 11:47

Well I've had a bit of a shock this morning - after pains in my side and a funny feeling in the veins in my thighs, did a test to see if I could drink tonight and this happened. Happy but a lot to get my head around!! After not getting pregnant last month I had resigned myself to a bit more of a wait.

Good luck to you all!

Congrats london Smile what a great start to 2017 for you!

Twistedsister7 · 31/12/2016 13:09

Happy new year London, what a way to start xx

bluebell17 · 31/12/2016 15:15

Congrats London!! Amazing news!

88claire · 31/12/2016 20:30

Congratulations London!

Quick question (sorry if too much info) but what sort of CM is normal before AF? I've never paid much attention but now I'm hoping for it to come (or a BFP) I'm sort of looking for signs something is happening!

I'm getting clumpy white pink tinged discharge (sorry I know TMI). It's not thrush but isn't pleasant and I don't remember having it like this before?

Thanks ladies.....!!

londonfeather · 01/01/2017 10:32

Thanks everyone. Still in shock!
88Claire, I didn't really have any CM before AF.. but I think when preggo it is common to get white creamy and the slight pink may be implantation?

88claire · 01/01/2017 14:32

So I just took this.......

There's a line on a FRER too but a MASSIVE squinter... Is there any way this isn't a positive?!

TTC - First time!
Littlemisssugarplum88 · 01/01/2017 14:43

Looking at it, it looks positive. However I have a friend who has used these tests a few times and it shows the exact same line when she's not actually pregnant. And she's read quite a few reviews with people having the same result when they were pregnant. Could you try using a clearblue digital to give you a definite answer?! Xx

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 01/01/2017 14:44

*weren't

88claire · 01/01/2017 14:49

Yes I'm going to do a digital tomorrow with FMU. The FRER has got a line but it's really faint but it's definitely there....

88claire · 01/01/2017 14:54

It's SO faint. But definitely there....

I don't want to believe it just in case Confused

TTC - First time!
Littlemisssugarplum88 · 01/01/2017 15:02

I used a digital test in an evening and it showed positive. If you've got one it might be worth using it :) Good luck xxx
