TTC - First Time! (2)

[mrsjkerry]

Hi all. Reconvene here!

AF is here . CD1 of Cycle 6 it is! Praying this is the month 🤞🏼.

🤞🤞 for you that this is your month, still waiting for mine to arrive, will have been four weeks this Friday since my implant was removed.

Hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather! 😊

Not sure if this will work, but this is a photo from our hotel room balcony! Amazing! We were both in bed at 9 last night, as the time difference is 8 hours behind, and we had been up nearly 24 hours! Doubt TTC will be starting until we get a bit more accustomed to the time difference. Entering fertile window soon as AF came a week ago now, but just going to enjoy it!

Meant to say, I was glad yesterday that I wasn't pregnant when the airline gave us champagne when we boarded, then 4 mini bottles of prosecco in an ice bag! Haha!

TTCnovice I'm sorry AF got you, believe me when I say I understand. I just sobbed my heart out today cos I stupidly watched what to expect when you're expecting!!! I mean why?! So stupid. But I'm off work sick and Netflix is my only company.

Flatwhite LV looks amazing. Enjoy your holiday.

and for you Twisted - I find a good cry can help relieve stress sometimes, hope it did for you! Has AF left you yet? Sorry you're not well .

Wow flat that view is amazing! Enjoy!!

I am on CD34(!) and still no AF (despite all the signs!) and not pregnant [eye roll] just want to get AF over with so we can start cycle 2!

Millie and mama hope AF comes soon for you both! Or you get surprise BFP's!

@Flatwhite sounds like you are having a great time! And that view looks very similar to the one I had when I was in LV some time ago....Wonder if you are in the same hotel as I was!

Sorry to those got by AF. Mine properly rocked up yesterday on CD 25 so 5 days earlier than last cycle and the same as the cycle before, but prior to the Pill I was a very regular 28 days each time! Anyone any ideas as to what that's all about?!

So onto cycle 4. Annoyingly, now that AF has come early, I don't think I will be in FW when we go away in a couple of weeks. But sod it

Hey girlies, hope you're ok, sorry about af for some of you 😶 holiday looks amazing 😍

So for me, I had a LOT of heavy bleeding and clots Friday night (sorry tmi) I was on and off the loo for about 5 hours and in really bad pain, but haven't had much since, bleeding is still there but slowing down and had very little pains since.
I'm hoping that was "it" if you know what I mean. I phoned hosp yesterday who said to stick to my original scan appt which is a week today and then they will know if I'm completely cleared out which fingers crossed I am because I don't want to have to go through intervention if possible 😖
Mentally I'm feeling a lot better also, and am now ready to get back to normal and more than ready to get back to ttc... haven't dtd since 28th Feb lol firstly avoided it coz I was so early pg and scared lol then hosp told me while I'm miscarrying I can't have anything up there coz of infection risk so I'm very much looking forward to getting back on the horse so to speak (hubby would love me referring to him as a horse by the way lol)

Here's to the future and the next cycle girls xx

@Millie1994 I had my implant for 10 months, fatigue was one of my main symptoms before the "crash" started. Has AF shown up yet?

@Flatwhite oooh it looks so good!!! I hope you enjoy your honeymoon x

@MistyBxx Glad you are feeling better love, I really hope your scan comes back clear and yo get get back on the horse soon

My AF ended yesterday and I am FUMING. Hubby told his manager that we are TTC so and asked to have daytime shifts so we could be home together in the evenings. I looked at the rota for him this week and its basically 2pm-11pm!!! I work 9-6 which means that we wont get to DTD this week. My FW is next week and I really hope he sorts it out. We cant really do it in the morning as I have to leave before 8, so it would mean waking up around 6 for a quick one then rush to work, which never works for us.

jellybean89 is there's an option for him to take his lunch break at 7pm and call home for DTD?

Still no AF here and on CD 34 and actually starting to worry now that sometimes wrong with me!

CD 35*

AF arrived for me yesterday - feel like it is a reset and can actually count this as a proper cycle now! Quite excited to really be able to start properly ttc.

@JellyBean89 how was your implant removal? Mine was so bruised for the first two weeks - it horrified my mum lol! The implant worked pretty well for me, think I was quite lucky there as my friend had awful symptoms including constant bleeding :(. Not good about your OH! So frustrating when things like that happen. My OH does shift work 6am-2pm one week and then 2pm - 10pm the next. Not bad but I am so knackered when he is on lates that even if I manage to stay awake for when he gets in I must admit I do struggle getting the energy to DTD lol

@Mamarady how strange! Do you have any symptoms of AF or pregnancy? Are you going to take another test in a couple of days in case you are. Fingers crossed for you!

@MistyBxx really good to hear you are feeling better x

Flatwhite that looks incredible!! Hope you have the best time!

Misty I Actually laughed out loud about getting back on the horse, I'm sure our DHs would love to be known as stallions lmao😂😂

Sorry to everyone with AF we seem to all be synced tho lol! Mine started properly on Sunday too, the first one since MC so think will count that as CD1...

Meanwhile one of hubby's sisters told us at the weekend she's 4-5 weeks pg! I was totally devastated if I'm honest, and hubby was pretty gutted too after everything that's happened! I know I should be happy for her but can't help feeling upset! Talk about bad timing!! Our time will come tho I'm sure eh!

FX for all of us this month!! Here we go again ladies...

Mama sounds promising, are you thinking of testing?

Sorry always have to do 2 posts cos can't keep up with who says what haha!

Hi all. I was here a couple of months ago but have had some time away as was trying the "it might happen if we give up thinking about getting pregnant" thing. But still no luck yet :(. I've had irregular cycles since coming off the pill last year, ranging from 31 to 41 days. We're trying OPKS this month, starting tomorrow with the Clear Blue smileys. Was just wondering if anyone else has tried these yet and how reliable they are?

Hi again Kit I've used them for 3 cycles now. I thought they were great the first month, got my peak (albeit quite early) fine, but then haven't had one the last two cycles. Obviously this could just be that I'm not ovulating or that I'm missing my LH surge though so I wouldn't say it's a reflection on the OPKs themselves! I'll be interested to see how you get on with them this month best of luck!

Hey girlies hope you're all well.
I'm feeling ok. Bleeding has nearly all stopped now. Literally spotting. And I haven't had any pains since last Sunday. Can't wait for my scan on Tuesday which I'm hoping is going to confirm everything is cleared out.
Been going through my dates and this week is my 4th week of knowing my pregnancy is over. It's so weird, I only knew I was pregnant for 3 weeks before I went for the first scan which showed no baby and I've been bleeding for 3. That exciting bfp morning feels like a lifetime ago 😳 can't wait for that feeling again though 😍
Feeling loads better in myself. Even watching OBEM 😂 sounds crazy but I've always loved that programme, doesn't make me feel sad, it fascinates and amazes me about how our lives begin and how we give life, it's lovely 😊
How's everything feeling?

kit * I have used them for a about a year now and the odd month I haven't appeared to ovulate but for the most months, they detect ovulation. Usually around 3 days high and then 1 peak.

misty its good that you're feeling better physically and mentally. I'm sure the scan will be clear so you can start to move on in your own time.

Well AF arrive yesterday for me! Oh well, onto cycle 2! Please let April be the month for us all 🙏

Hi all! Happy easter! @Misty glad you are feeling better and are recovering OK.

@Kit I am just coming onto third cycle of the CB ones, first cycle I started too late and got the solid smily straight away, last cycle I started earlier and got a flashing smily CD10 followed by solid smily CD12. They seem pretty good so far!

Today I randomly peed on one for no reason at all given that it's CD6 - but my last cycle was only 25 days for some reason so was wondering if I might be in some sort of early ovulation zone but seems not.

Annoyingly, because my last cycle was 5 days shorter than the previous one, I think my FW will be next week rather than in a couple of weeks' time when me and DP will be away! Not that I booked the trip with FW in mind tbh but it would have been a nice added bonus!

@mama sorry about AF!

@jellybean did your DH swap shifts?

Sorry for all who got AF!

I am now on day 2 of fw according to Ovia and seeing ewcm. DH & I did the deed both days. I love the long weekends!!

Got some cheap OPKs from savers but bit early to test (didn't stop me though did it).

Btw there is bloody pregnancies & newborns everywhere!! A guy at work has a 6 months old, two ladies just became nannys & a friend gave birth!! Everyone is now outwardly asking me if we are trying. The subject is everywhere!!

How is everyone at what stages are you at?

Thanks girls, I'll let you know how I get on. On CD15 today and today and yesterday no LH surge detected. The app I'm using reckons ovulation is next Saturday but my last few cycles have been a bit all over the place so it's been hard trying to guess.
Misty, just caught up on what you've been going through, I'm so sorry :( glad you are feeling better and have a positive outlook.
It's cycle 5 for me and I'm getting a bit down that it's not happened yet. We saw our friends last weekend and they were telling us it took them two weeks to conceive after deciding to try! Their daughter is 6 months now and beautiful. It's a weird feeling this mixture of happiness and jealously.
Hope everyone else is doing ok.

Happy Easter all just saw this online so thought I'd share...

"Easter was originally the celebration of Ishtar, the Assyrian and Babylonian goddess of fertility and sex."

Let's hope it brings us all luck for some January 2018 babies! 🤞🏼
