TTC - First Time! (2)

[mrsjkerry]

Hi all. Reconvene here!

The funniest thing is my DH was being nosy and wanted to see what I was doing on my phone and he was reading through my posts and it turns out he could figure out all the acronyms just because I must talk about pregnancy stuff far too much! Haha

Tessa a couple of the other girls on here are teachers too! Oh gawd, I should probs go to the doctors to find out about this chicken pox thing! Thanks for the tip!!!

Well if my random 25-day cycle last time is in fact not random, then AF should be here tomorrow. I think that was just an unusually short one, in which case AF is due Monday or Tuesday....

Actually scrap that last bit - if my cycle is 28 days then AF should rock up on Wednesday.... This waiting game is LONG!!!

Morning all! OK so no sign of AF today, which means my cycle has not randomly reduced to 25 days, and last month was a one-off and not the new norm. But in terms of my usual cycle AF isn't due until Wednesday. I don't really have any symptoms of anything! Teeny tiny cramps. But now I can't even remember what symptoms I had before I went on the pill (was only on it a few months - relationship with dp has progressed fast hahaha!)apart from the annoying brown spotting (which I also had on the pill) which I have had none of this time....

How's anyone else doing today m

That was meant to be a question mark at the end, not a random 'm'....

Oohh @Pibee I have my fingers crossed for you that AF doesn't show up.

I feel ok today, 1st time in almost a week I didn't wake up nauseous so I hope that means the crash has ended. According to Ovia my AF is due next Sunday so I guess I'll have to wait until then to see if she shows or not as I can't symptoms spot. How is everyone else doing?

Hi everyone! Well we officially started TTC today 😉. I'm not bothering with opks this month, as I only stopped the pill 9 days ago, so I have no idea how long my cycle will be! Will just enjoy this month as much as possible before figuring out when ovulation etc will happen. Hope you're all well! X

Yay! Enjoy flatwhite and good luck for cycle number 1!

Hope everyone's had a good weekend! I'm just waiting for AF to bugger off - had just spotting today so hopefully she'll be gone by tomorrow. DH has next weekend off which should coincide with FW so that's nicely timed! Cycle 5 we're coming for you!!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Morning all. AF has got me so I'm a bit gutted. Not what I needed on a Monday morning! I'm disappointed but I'll be fine later...

Happy Monday everyone else! :)

Sorry about AF Pibbee

Thanks ttcnovice! Am OK, it's just a PITA having to do more timing, planning and weeing on sticks!!!

Am only gonna be on cycle 3 so not too bad at all. Would have been lucky to have got BFP at this stage in fact! But I just want it sorted, you know!

Anyway, onwards and upwards! Had a coffee with actual CAFFEINE in it this morning, and will now be able to have some vino at the weekend! Silver lining and all that... How you doing today?

Yes definitely onwards and upwards Pibbee! Hope cycle 3 is third time lucky for you! I'm okay today thanks, bit of the Monday blues this morning, but AF has left the building so that's cheered me up .

Yay, bye bye AF!!! I have just got the usual spotting nonsense at the moment. Had a fleeting thought that it might be implantation bleeding but given that I have this murky spotting every time, I have abandoned that thought....

At least it's sunny (well in London it is...)!

Have you tested just in case Pibbee? You never know! And March has been so lucky on this thread so far!

No I've not bothered testing as am pretty much convinced it's a no! Of course, if this spotting disappears and doesn't turn into proper AF then I might reconsider, but I think that's very unlikely.

Yes indeed this thread has had loads of luck! Just needs a bit more for the rest of us.....Fingers crossed!!

Yes just keep an eye on it Pibbee! With a bit of luck it will just stay as it is 🤞🏼

Hi everyone, so I missed a few days for some reason. Sorry to those who got AF, welcome to all newbies & fx for all those starting a new cycle of ttc.

I have now finished AF, last cycle was a weird one with late AF & new, never seen before (misleading) symptoms, and the strangest AF. Anyways onwards & upwards to cycle 5!!

Where is everyone else at?

Hi twisted! I am still lurking...cycle 5 was a lucky one for me! 🤞🏻

Fingers crossed for you @Pibbee! Hopefully it stays the way it is.
Good luck on cycle 5 @Twistedsister7! Hopefully it's the one.
Today I am having the weirdest cm ever(sorry for the TMI), I actually have no idea if I have seen it before or not. My nipples are incredibly sore and slightly darker and husband said my boobs look puffy. Was also having AF like cramps on my left side while at work so I think she might be showing her face soon.

MrsJ how is everything, going well I hope? I hope cycle 5 will be lucky for me & TTCnovice as we are both there.

Jellybean your symptoms could be something else so fx, you're not out until AF shows!!

Indeed Jellybean! When is AF due?

Good luck with starting round 5 twisted and ttcnovice!

Pretty sure I'm out for this cycle but oh well. Am having the same as what always happens at the start of AF ie

Gaaah pressed post too soon! Anyway was saying I always get this brown nonsense at the start of AF and right now I have exactly that .... time to start weeing on more of those OPK sticks in a few days!!!

I have no idea when she is due. I've been off the iud for about 2 weeks, I've been using opks (because i read about some women who didn't ovulate for months after removal) and according to them I would be 5dpo. Last night in bed I had the worst migraine and this strange pain in my belly. I never experienced it before. It was a pulling/sucking sensation from my uterus to my vagina.

I'm not getting my hopes up as I think it would be too early for symptoms plus the past week I had a crash from the iud removal and it has the same symptoms as pregnancy.

Jellybean, that was one of the first feelings I had which was noticeably different to af pains... it was a sharp-ish almost stitchlike pain just above my foof. It was particularly noticeable if I'd been sitting and then stood up. I thought it was af pains at first but it just didn't feel like af. And it wasn't! But obv everyone is different and I don't want to get your hopes up, especially as I've got no idea how your contraception worked or what happens with that lol x

MistyBxx I really hope you're right, the pain felt like a stitch and nothing like AF. The contraception I was on worked by thickening the lining the neck of the womb So it's difficult for sperm to cross from the vagina into the womb and also by preventing the lining from thickening so eggs can't implant. Some women also stop ovulating on it, but I don't think I did as I was still getting regular periods throughout until the last month.
I know a lot of women ovulate straight away and get pregnant within the first few weeks but It's just so confusing as I have no idea what point I am in the cycle.
