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 came off of the pill in May after 10+ years with the idea of using condoms for a few months to let my periods return etc before TTC

DH and I agreed no kits or Drs spots until we'd been trying for 12 months unsuccessfully.

We have been very lucky - stopped using protection on August 8th before we got married on the 13th and fell on the 18th, DD #1 is due on May 24th.

As I mentioned - I just worry my friend isn't giving her body time to sort itself out naturally

Hello everyone

I stopped receiving email notifications for this group for some reason! I'm back...and sorry to report that I came on to the worst period of my life Thursday evening. So third cycle is a fail and onwards to my fourth...

Hi i have just join .i had a problem with white discharge.brown period in 4th amd 5th day.it can be cause for not conceiving.can anyone tell me

Raspberry - congrats. That's excellent.

Conception is such a personal thing & everyone has their own way. Just be there for your friend I guess xx

Hi to all the new people! Good luck

Well I said I wouldn't symptom spot but really I had no symptoms too spot anyway... until last night! I was sat on the sofa and was suddenly exhausted and sound asleep in 2 mins. Woke up absolutely drenched in sweat, hair soaked the lot! Went through to bed and then woke up freezing. Woke in the morning feeling fine. We DTD and I actually screamed when DH touched my chest. Felt totally fine apart from that until I got in the shower and came over all dizzy and had to sit down on the edge of the bath. Have felt fine since and I'm probably just over analysing but you know 

Can't quite believe it

Wow pink congratulations!! Amazing news!

charley I'm keeping my Fx for you with those symptoms! When is AF due for you, I seem to remember it's around the same time as me (16th)?

I've had some nausea too as well as having a strange taste in my mouth back again the last few days, and been feeling rather bloated. Probably still too soon for it to mean anything, but who knows!

Sorry AF got you mrsj

Amazing pink congratulations!!! We're you expecting it? I hope you have an amazing 9 months!

TTC yes same as you I think. Ovia for some reason is saying the 14th but last 2 cycles have been 27 days so I think definitely nearer the 16th. Have been totally symptom free since the afternoon except stilly nipples against my bra is agony but funny enough much worse on the right. How are you feeling?

Do you think you'll test early charley or wait it out until the 16th? I'm toying with buying a FRER and testing on Wednesday, but I really should just wait! Strange that your pain is worse on the right.

I've feeling really nauseous all night - DH got in from work and the first thing he said was "God, you look awful!" - thanks DH!! Currently lying here trying to ignore cramps and a strange stretching/pulling sensation in my lower abdomen. Definitely feeling unusual anyway!

Eek that sounds promising to TTC! Did you manage an ok sleep? Are you still nauseous? Im the same, I'm not sure what I'm feeling but it's definitely unusual.

I had exactly the same last night as the night before! Sudden exhaustion, slept instantly, woke in the night pouring with sweat and needing the toilet (never happens). But again, totally fine this morning except the agonising nipples - got my nephew who likes to lie on your chest!! Ouch!! also strangely woke with a load of EWCM which I never normally get.

I did an IC this morning as I wanted to check I hadn't got ovulation wrong and may have accidentally dipped a HPT in there too! Both were glaringly white though. I have 2 frers in the house but I'm going to try hold off using one until Wednesday at least! Are you testing then too?

Had an awful night's sleep - cramps all through - woke up expecting AF to have turned up really early and spoilt my hopes this month, but no sign. Also found it painful to sleep on my left (and I always sleep on my left!) as my boob would get a sharp pain, so that didn't help either. Still nauseous this morning, but to be honest that could just be lack of sleep!

A lot of friends/family members with DC have said one of the earliest symptoms they had was suddenly feeling exhausted charley! I'm excited for us both with these signs, but will be very pissed off with our bodies for getting our hopes up if it's BFNs this month .

DH wants me to wait until Friday to test as we're both off work then, but there's just no way I'll be able to if I'm still feeling so strange!

I am 25 and on cycle 3 of trying to conceive my first! If you need any support I'm your gal I'm finding the waiting so challenging! X

Hi user I definitely agree, waiting is the hardest part and this is only my first cycle!

When is AF due for you?

Hi user! Welcome on board the crazy train haha! We've been trying since the start of October, nothing yet but keeping our fingers crossed for this week still.

I'm swaying between testing early on wed and telling DH or waiting until the weekend and trying to hold off until Christmas Day to tell him... He doesn't know my period due day but not sure I'd be able to hold him off until Xmas day if these wierd symptoms keep up....

Hi user. Sounds like you are in exactly the same boat at me!

Welcome user I'm glad to not be the only one this is driving crazy! I've only just been off the pill a little while!! I know it's going to take time for me to get my cycles back to normal let alone get a Bfp.. How is everyone else doing with the wait? Is anyone due to take a test soon? X

Well after my mammoth 11 hour sleep (apart from the half an hour awake with the sweats) I suddenly felt exhausted again around 2.30pm and fell asleep instantly for 2 hours!! I never nap unless I have a migraine. Also only managed about an hour wearing my bra and had to take it off! Starting to think I might be coming down with something but I feel totally fine apart from that......

So I buckled and did a HCG this morning. The bloody thing didn't work - no line in the control window! I think it was the test's way of telling me not to be so ridiculous testing at only 8DPO

Oh no!! I've never had that..... I did an IC this morning and it was glaringly white. Starting to lose hope a little.

Don't lose hope charley it's early days yet and the signs have all been there! How are you feeling this morning?

I've given in & did an ic, also glaringly white besides the control line. Only 7dpo so totally grasping at straws. I've just been feeling so tired but I think it's just a bug/virus. Most hold out before testing again as I only have 2 tests left anyway.

Are you just using IC's Twisted? I think I'm going to buy some FRER's tonight after this morning's failure! The one I used was just a Tesco cheapie
