TTC - First Time! (2)

[mrsjkerry]

Hi all. Reconvene here!

Marie that's not a squinter so tentative congratulations to you.

As for me, AF has arrived with maximum pain & fed-up-ness.

Bring on cycle 6 I guess. Time to buy OPKs I think & get serious!!

Thanks TTC ..Yeah i think if everything goes to plan then my estimated DD is Dec 11th!

And I'm so sorry to hear it Twisted fx C6 is your cycle! X

Woooowwww congratulations Marie !!!!

Ahh I'm really sorry Twisted I know that fed-up-ness all too well! Can you eat/drink some nice things over the next few days and just allow yourself a little indulgent 'you' time until AF buggers off again? I'll no doubt be joining you on cycle 6 soon so let's hope it really is our lucky one this time 🤞🏼 xxx

Exciting Marie !! How did your DH react? Please stick around to keep us updated on how you're getting on! Fx for a healthy 9 months for you xxx

Thanks guys :)

And he was really sweet, he wanted to wait until today to be sure but he seems excited! It's all taking a while to sink in tbh!

And I'll definitely stick around... I'm looking forward to seeing more bfp over the next few months!! 😊

Ttcnovince - I'm still keeping my fx for you!

I have just started a new diet to control my diabetes and I hope that will also help our efforts ttc xx

Hey girlies,
Massive congratulations marie I'm over the moon for you!! Now the excitement begins 💕
Sorry AF arrived for some of you 😩
twisted I caught on cycle 6! Not that I'm a great example but hey, could be a lucky number 🍀

As for me, my mc has finally been confirmed. Very sad of course but strangely relieved that I've had an actual answer after a fortnight of hell in limbo. Waiting for nature to take its course now. Once I'm "empty" again so to speak, I will be ttc as soon as I'm allowed. Thanks for listening and offering your support, it has meant a lot to me.
Lots of love and luck to you all for this cycle and I will be checking in to catch up on the next few bfps 🌺 keep an eye out for me in a few weeks if you're still around.
Speak soon xxx

Thank you MistyBxx , I'm sending all my love to you, and a massive hug for everything you're going through xxx

Marie did you do anything different this cycle? I know you're only on about cycle 2 (I think?!)so not much room for comparison.... how much DTD etc? Ha I love how we can ask questions like this on this thread

Haha pibbee I did use opks but not very well and only got squinters. My fertile window on Clue and ovia overlapped so me and my OH dtd pretty much everyday in the FW (although we did miss 2).

I found that I made it into a bit of a challenge for him this cycle as I think we both felt a bit pressured C1. I made a jokey box with different sex positions/places and he got to pick one every morning! It made it a bit of a laugh for the both of us!

Yeah the pressure is a major issue!!! I have never felt so stressed out in my whole life I don't think! I am so gonna try to chill the hell out next cycle. I'm not even gonna tell DP when the right days are.

OK so you missed 2 out of maybe 5 or 6 days? That's quite a reassuring statistic as no way can me and DP go for it every day. Well I could actually but hey ho...

Oh Marie amazing news!! Congrats! Xxxx

Misty so sorry but sometimes is better knowing- the stress of the limbo is too much to take sometimes! Loads of love and hugs to you, look after yourself xxxx

Hi all!
First time ttc and definitely understand now how crazy it can make you feel lol
Really lovely to read how supportive you all are and would love to be apart of the group if that's okay?
Only on my first cycle, had the implant out just over two weeks ago but that already feels like a lifetime ago and I am frustrated with not knowing when AF will arrive as I haven't had a regular cycle for the past three years whike the implant has been in.
Fingers crossed for anyone testing soon!

Hi Millie welcome to the madness! How long have you had the implant for? I think it can take a while for things to settle down and for AF to appear...

As for me, I came off the pill at the end of December last year. Rapidly heading towards cycle 4 after mine and DP's incredibly lame effort this month.....

Yeah pibbee we dtd 4 out if 6 days in my fw.. we also did it a few times just before and once after incase i ovulated late! I did enjoy it although i must admit it was knackering!!

Thanks charl! 😊

Welcome Millie! Fx AF arrives soon so you know your cycle and can get on with dtd!!

Look after yourself Misty xxx

Welcome Millie hope AF arrives soon for you so you can get started!

Congrats Marie! Such lovely news. What cycle are you on? I've survived day 1 on the trip with AF!

Thanks Flatwhite31! I'm on cycle 2 so definitely wasn't expecting it!!

Glad you survived day one! Hope the rest of your trip isn't too bad!!

Congratulations Marie!! So happy for you and wish you a wonderful 9 months x

@MistyBxx I'm so sorry love, I honestly admire your strength. Look after yourself x

AF showed up for me yesterday on CD 31, and is starting properly today. But sad but also relieved my cycle is somewhat normal and hopefully I won't get any more iud side effects next month.

Welcome @Millie1994, hope your Af arrives soon. Mine came after 2 days and now again after 31. Side effects were awful for me. Have you had any?x

@Flatwhite glad you survived! Only got 2 more left xx

@Charl your drink being spiked sounds so scary! Glad you're ok x

Evening everyone how are you all today?

I was due AF today but no sign so far. Feel really nauseous tonight though so that might be a sign she's on her way .

Ahh just saw that AF got you jelly I'm sorry your symptoms were so promising too! Fx for you that you have an IUD side-effect free month this cycle, with a huge BFP at the end of it!

my clear blue digital thingy has arrived but need to collect from post office as was at work when they tried to deliver! Did a cheap opk test and nothing but only finished my period on sat so guessing that's right? I'm really new to all this so no clue! (even though I have the clue app!!)

Shit Charl I have only just seen your comment about your drink getting spiked! That's awful! Hope you are OK. Have you started new job yet ?

CD29 here and no AF yet - took an IC test last night but BFN so don't know why she's late. Just want AF to arrive now so I can get on with cycle 6 .
