TTC - First time!

[mrsjkerry]

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!

I've already gone ttc mad & tested and I know it's crazy & even if I were that lucky it's way too soon and it bfn anyway which I knew it would be. And this is only the beginning.

In other news DH has been keen to dtd and I was worried he'd get nervous. Lol. We discussed this & we both want to ttc but I underestimated him & still thought he was doing this to keep me happy.

I still can't tell him I'm on Mumsnet & done a test & will be buying OPKs. Lol.

Happy thoughts to you all as we continue this journey.

Ha...definitely the opposite for us! I'm nearly 39 and never even wanted children (my ex-DH didn't want any) but DP is super broody and suggested it and he can't wait to be a dad although like me he'd prefer we kept it relaxed and didn't start scheduling!
Tbh though when he's home we have sex several times a day as both have very high sex drives so not much more we can do as never miss a day! Lol

I think my DH is happy I've found some motivation because he is always ready & it's me who has the lower sex drive. Lol. I confessed to buying OPKs & educated him a little on the timing aspect. We're still not scheduling but I think we're both finding it interesting how little we actually knew about the finer points of conception. Lol.

I think that's exactly how my DH feels twisted!! According to my probably completely wrong app, I'm ovulating today and we're both working from home... this is only our first cycle ttc so I haven't bought any OPKs yet.

It's our first cycle too but as I've heard apps can be fairly inaccurate I ordered OPKs just to really get to know my cycle rather than demand he perform on cue. Lol. They should arrive today but AF is due 21/11 so probably won't use til after.

I kind of wish I'd bought some now just out of interest as I've no idea if or when I ovulated and have just guessed based on Withdrawal bleed as Cycle Day 1 and an average 30 day cycle. I'm probably completely wrong! Lol!
Will be able to probably keep better track after first proper period which should probably come end of the month!
On another note it's amazing how different it feels once you come off BC, my boobs are really full (DP noticed how much bigger), little veins on them, and I feel headachey and very nauseous - hopefully it's all signs of ovulating/my body recovering from the pill!

Morning all

Havnt been on for a few days but my body still all over the place it seems

Finally came on on the 13th 10 days late seemed normal four days later started to finish as normal nothing yesterday then woke up this morning went to the toilet and after wiping had a clot (sorry) and what looked like old blood thought strange but ok but now it seems like im still bleeding slightly not mich but definitely fresh blood

So late AF normal miss a say then AF again?

What is going on with you alwaysnumber1?

No idea lol typical that as soon as we agree to ttc my normally perfect cycle plays up

Is anyone else a worrier? I am not even pregnant yet but today I was worrying about some of these things: giving birth; the baby's room; what if my baby...; baby names; who will help me etc etc.

Lol im the same!
What if i do this wrong how would i cope with pretnancy and a baby what if i pick a bad name ect ect

I want to book a weekend trip to france for me an my other half going through the tunnel but cant find anything 😔 Never booked a trip before he normaly does

My latest one is what if I have a baby and me and my husband die in a car crash - who will look after my baby! I think I'm insane!

Hi everyone,

I'm 26 and hoping to start TTC baby no1 soon. I had my mirena coil taken out last Thursday and still waiting for AF to start... Thought it had yesterday as was bleeding all day, then just stopped in the evening and nothing yet today :( never wished so much for it to start! Thinking about having a month normal cycle (if and when it starts) then start trying on second cycle. Have bought a clear blue fertility monitor to use, but not sure whether to count yesterday as CD1... Hoping the bleeding will start up again today/tomorrow!

I have a different fertile window according to three different apps. Some of them suggest I am fertile now. Though despite testing everyday I am yet to pick up a positive on the OPKs. Anyone else?

I think I'll have to get myself some OPKs. I only have 1 app on the go which says AF is due in a week. Think it will be the slowest week ever.

Guys I need an opinion.

Af was scheduled for 21/11 as per Ovia. On 20/11 I had some brown blood when wiping but nothing in underwear. Used tampon & when removed it was minimal. Nothing else for rest of day. Occasional small amounts on 21/11 no tampon needed. Late on 21/11 after sex I had bright red blood/discharge. Used tampon. Monday 22/11 more spotting but no products needed. Today nothing at all. Is this AF or could it be implantation bleeding. I could have conceived around two weeks ago.

I tested this morning using an IC & I thought maybe a faint line but how far away do these spear from the control line.

I'd be grateful if anyone's opinions or suggestions.

Twisted it does sound like implantation bleeding, can you post a photo of the test? Perhaps try to get hold of a FRER and text again in the morning with FMU?

Unfortunately I didn't take a picture as I was telling myself not to get my hopes up. I'll try again tomorrow & see if any clearer.

How far apart do the lines appear because they seemed quite far apart but this is literally my first time testing xx

The more I look online the more I think my 'line' was too far down the strip. Probably evap. But will try again if no real AF this week.

Tested again & pretty sure it's negative. No more testing until next week which would be two weeks sine dtd.

Ovia just totally changed my fertile window to last week based on my data entry today!! I'm very upset as now I feel I've missed my opportunity...

Sounds confusing mrsjkerry.
twisted, hope the wait doesn't drag too much for you.

Hi guys, just thought I'd introduce myself.
28, just stopped taking the pill (after 12 continuous years) so started the withdrawal bleed last night.
Bought some OPKs which I won't touch (ha) until a couple of regular cycles.
Also downloaded Ovia but I'll primarily be using this to track my cycles without relying on it to much for ovulation prediction.

Still no AF & no BFP. Could my body have reset itself after implant removal on 7/11? I was having periods in the last year on implant and pretty regular so I assumed it would carry on as is.

As mentioned below I had some bleeding 20/11 through to 22/11 so hoped implantation but now seems not. I also have pain alternating between lower right/left side, frequent urination, and tiredness.

Out of sheer frustration I also did an ovulation test but bfn too.

I don't know what else to do, I like planning & hate not knowing now when I might bleed.

Anyone experienced similar?

evening everyone hope your all ok.

things are still strange here lol
late AF
normal AF
stopped as normal then had a day of AF then stopped again

on and of im getting cramps still
doing the test strips each day to find the right time and so far nothing
should be aproaching my normal Af day but being late last month im guessing it will be a differnt time this time around?
