TTC - First Time! (2)

[mrsjkerry]

Hi all. Reconvene here!

That's annoying ttcnovice !!! Are the ICs any good though?

They're the One Step "ultra sensitive" (or something like that anyway!) tests Pibbee so I think so unfortunately! My only last bit of hope is that I didn't use FMU, but I think they would still pick it up with AF being actually late now IYSWIM. I'll test again in the morning if still no signs, but I think I'm definitely out!

Hmm I guess check once more tomorrow. My AF last time was 5 days later than the previous one and 2 days later than usual. Turned out to just be playing tricks on me but you might be different!

Do you use the opk sticks? If so, which ones? I have been using CB ones but the stupid smily face last time just pissed me off cos DP was not performing so I felt like it was laughing at me! Might try new ones....

Yeah am good now Pibbee thanks! I was just on supply in a special needs school, and my new job is permanent in the same school so am staying in the same place! Two weeks off from next week which I think is needed!!

I think AF is on its way, I've had some bad spotting today (due Saturday).. but I won't be sad if she turns up after having drink spiked and the mc am not in too much of a rush, just trying to chill out a bit and let things happen naturally but it's not always that easy is it! Sorry to those where AF has shown up!

I use the CB ones too Pibbee - was really pleased with them the first month but then the last two I haven't had peaks so I'm a bit pissed off with them too now! I've used the One Step OPKs too (which I didn't rate but I know lots of others on here do!) and Tesco own brand ones that I liked! I think you might be best trying a few different types to see which ones you prefer?

I am on CD 29 of my 31 day cycle and tested using first response this morning and it was negative. Have the whole AF symptoms now so expect AF at the weekend!

You're not out yet Mama you never know!

Just catching up. How is everyone who is late?

Sorry to those who got AF.

I'm nearing the end of AF now & determine cycle 6 will be the one. I need to make dtd fun again & enjoy it xx

Hi all. @Twisted how is your friend getting on now? I agree I need to make TTC fun again! At the moment it's the opposite and just causing stress and angst.

Hi Pibbee she is still struggling but improving I think - thanks for asking xx

Thanks @Pibbee I've had an implant in for hunts under six years (2 consecutive ones!) and the pill before that!

@JellyBean89 how long did you have your implant for? Haven't had any symptoms since it's come out apart from a higher sex drive but not sure if that's down to ttc 😂 This week I have been so so tired and a bit tearful too so think AF will arrive soon!

Hope everyone is well x

Misty how you feeling? Have been thinking of you lots xx 💖

Af seems to have defo appeared although slightly lighter than normal. I feel ok about this though, maybe more ready to try properly next time. My cycle length this time has only been 25 or 26 days I think?! Does anyone know if you count the first day of a MC as a first day of af? That's what I've done but not idea what my normal cycle length is as caught first time off the pill on a 28 day!

Xx

Hi everyone! How are you all? Good I hope! I'm back from the trip, and ridiculously knackered. It was great fun though! AF really wasn't bad, and only ended up. Sing 3 days long. I'm off on honeymoon on Sunday, so going to take a very relaxed approach to TTC this month. Found out today that I need 4 wisdom teeth removed under general anaesthetic, which will go ahead if the next 2 cycles are unsuccessful. Will just have to wait and see.

@charl19, not sure of the answer to your question, but glad you're doing ok and that your AF wasn't too bad.

@Twistedsister7, really hope this cycle is 'the one'!

@Mamaready Any sign of AF yet? Keeping everything crossed for you!

Arrrgh I can't get used to this phone! 'Only ended up sing' should say 'only ended up being'!

Hey girlies, hope you're all doing good.
charl thanks chick, I'm doing ok. Yesterday and most of today, had no cramps or bleeding at all but it's come back with a vengeance this evening. Don't think I'm anywhere near "over" yet.
In answer to your question, I've counted day 1 of bleeding mc as day 1 of cycle 😳 no idea if that's right but I've done it! I have heard that your first post mc period can be a little earlier and a little lighter than normal though xx

Just came across this on fb... made me chuckle 🙈

Morning all! Misty that video is hilarious! Have been thinking of you lots chick, glad you are doing as OK as can be expected...

Anyone testing soon?

Xx

Hello! Hope you are all having a good weekend and are enjoying the sun!! It's gorgeous where I am!

I'm a tad concerned - I am only on CD23 and earlier today had random bright red bleeding wtf. There is no way it's implantation as we missed all the days last month . I had this same thing happen two months ago so am starting to worry I've got some kind of hormone deficiency or something..... Or it could just be my body still sorting itself out post-Pill.... I never used to have this pre-Pill!

I am on CD32! Negative pregnancy test this morning and no AF! Typical, worst of both worlds!

Hi lovely ladies! I'm currently sitting on a plane ready to go to Vegas as part one of our honeymoon! So excited. Sending lots of baby dust to you all. Let's hope this is our month! xxx

@Flatwhite31 how exciting! Have an amazing time! I love Vegas!! 😄

Hi everyone sorry I've been AWOL!

Still no sign of AF for me (I'm on CD33 now so 5 days late). DH and I thought we could see the faintest of lines on a couple of tests this week, but I can't see anything on today's so I'm assuming we were just hoping too much! We'd thought maybe I ovulated late (as I stopped using OPKs after around 8 days of "high" readings with no "peak") and so I would have only been maybe 8DPO at the time of the possible lines - but I'd be about 10DPO today so would have expected to see something more. So I'm just waiting it out now until AF finally appears and it'll be onto cycle 6!

Disappointed as we got our hopes up but never mind .

Flat have an amazing honeymoon! You will have to tell us all about it!

Have an amazing time on honeymoon - vegas sounds amazing!

My AF has properly started today, so maybe had like a little pre- bleed or something, but will count from today as a new cycle! Least we all have each other eh!! Onwards and upwards and fingers crossed for us all this next cycle xx

@Flatwhite31 I went to vegas for part of my honeymoon too! Soooooo jealous I'd love to go back there 😞
