TTC First Time... #3!!

[MistyBxx]

Hey girlies, thought I'd make a new thread for us to continue on!!xx

Hiya, im new to the group as well.
Really need some help, actually I'm ttc and have bought sevens seas trying for a baby supplements. Can anyone of you help
Me? When should I start taking it from?

It's great that you're feeling relaxed @Flatwhite31 - surely that can only help! I'm doing okay thanks, AF arrived today so I'm on cycle 8 now, but not feeling too down about it. I figure there's no point stressing myself out every month!

Welcome @RSKhan1 just start taking it as soon as I would think, they say the best advice is to take folic acid for 3 months before trying. The sooner the better x

Welcome RSKhan1. I started taking folic acid as soon as I came off the pill in Feb. It's part of my routine now.
Glad you're doing ok @ttcnovice. I think I might have ovulated, as I had pains this morning which have now gone. I might have just missed it, as I didn't OPK before yesterday, so I've no idea if yesterday's very positive OPK was a second day positive or not! Did one earlier and the line was pronounced, but a bit lighter than yesterday's. Given the very short space of time, we only had time to DTD twice! We'll see...

@ttcnovice I have been having folic acid but no luck as yet.

@flatwhite31 so should I just stick to folic acid or change it to seven seas supplement (trying for a baby) as I have read that ladies got pregnant with it in a months time.
Please help!

I haven't tried a seven seas supplement! I wouldn't necessarily believe everything you read though. I'm on cycle 4, and realising that getting pregnant is nowhere as easy as I'd thought it'd be!

It's so hard not to get disheartened... I feel like I'm wishing my late away waiting for the next month to arrive and with it, ovulation! And this 2 week wait is awful.... doesn't help that pregnancy symptoms are largely the same as pre period symptoms! Boobs are killing me and have done since the day after ov, but as far as I know, could well be period signs which are a lot more obvious now I've come off the pill!
Well, I suppose they do say that the one true symptom is a positive test! Was at a wedding this weekend; both bridesmaids were pregnant and guests there with their newborns. It makes my heart ache because I want it to be me next so badly! Completely agree with @Flatwhite31 - I'm about to enter cycle 4 and this is so much harder than I thought it would be...!

Hi 👋🏻 to all the newbies and good luck in your TTC journeys! 🤞🏼 The girls on here are fantastic and so supportive of each other. I'm currently holding off on TTC as we're getting married next year 😬 so have decided to wait until closer to the time because as I've said previously I don't want to be waddling down the aisle (although I accidentally said waffling last time, but that also works! 😂)
Other info is I have recently been diagnosed with suspected PCOS and Endo so am waiting to go under consultation from a Gyno and see how to improve things... any newbies with similar conditions I would appreciate some advice! Currently on CD46 and no AF, last one was 62 days so at least I haven't hit that point again! Please do keep us all updated and post regularly, support is always good!
I've heard mixed reviews about other supplements but folic acid is definitely recommended 👍🏼
@soph my first month off the pill was HORRENDOUS with PMS symptoms that were matching to PG. it's normal but so annoying!! They've died down now but I think that's down to lack of periods for me 😂 Oh well! Xx

How many of you were taking seven seas trying for a baby supplement and got a positive result? confused

@RSKhan1 I don't take that, only folic acid; but I think it will just ensure your body is in the best condition to give you the best chance of conceiving, it won't actually be the cause of your conception, if that makes sense. It won't be a guaranteed recipe for a baby, so many more factors are needed to be present!

Hey @littleemma1 I had endo surgery last year, my consultant was great. Went back to him in Feb as was having similar symptoms, I have a cyst on my right ovary (which is massive apparently )and adhesion from the surgery. I've been advised pregnancy would be the best thing to help with all my symptoms.
My consultant was really helpful and really positive. I hope you have a positive experience. Any idea when you'll see someone?

AF is currently 2 days late for me, but getting BFN's (not that I'm obsessively testing) just want to know one way or the other now. I've had so many weird aches and pains the last four days.

Hi @vic! I've got my appointment for 3rd August so just a waiting game really 😒 From what they've already said at the docs mines more PCOS than Endo so I don't know what that's going to mean. I've had a look on some of the PCOS boards on here but it's so negative and it's scaring me. Xx

Hi ladies! Well my clear blue digital was a circle (negative) today (it won't let you test for 48 hours once you've had a solid smiley). I think we only just caught the surge, but given the lack of ewcm, I'm wondering if I even ovulated! I did get cramps, but I always get them! Who knows. Will just have to wait and see. Am also getting sore boobs most days every month. I have heard evening primrose oil can help with that, so may give that a go.
Shame you have to wait until August @littleemma1. How's wedding planning going? I loved it!
@Vicsteur, sorry to hear about the BFNs. Hope you get an answer soon!

@flatwhite I take primrose oil but not sure if it makes a difference but I'm scared to stop taking it hahaha. Wedding planning coming along nicely, just had the official deposit figures through from the venue today 😬 Xx

Fingers and toes crossed for you @Flatwhite

Welcome back @passmethewine123

Sorry to all those still with no BFP. I'm still there with you I'm sad to say although been off here for a little. I think I've caught up though.

I'm in tww, who's there & who is testing soon?

My 2WW was cut short by AF 😞😞😞😞

I'm in 2WW @Twisted after two very positive OPKs on CD 11. Only just caught it, and only had time to DTD twice before the OPKs were negative, so not holding out much hope! I'm just too busy at work at the moment, working til 10pm on reports etc, so DTD every other day, like some websites suggest, is just impossible!
Sorry to hear about AF @Soph. TTC is so difficult! The Year 6s are getting sex ed at school at the moment, and it makes getting pregnant sound so easy! If only!

Aww @SophSoph92 I'm sorry!

@Flatwhite31 sex Ed needs a revamp for sure!! I managed 3 dtd days in fw but only 2 nearer suspected ov. Never got a + opk as was too busy. Had a nearly there one so guessed going off that & symptoms!

Sorry to hear that @SophSoph92 xx

Hi ladies! How are you all? We are melting here in the South East. It's nearly 30C! My singing group at school did an outdoor performance today, and we were all so hot by the end of it. The kids did brilliantly though. I'm 6 DPO today and no symptoms to report apart from my usual sore boobs! Not holding out much hope for this month, but feeling less anxious about it which is good. How is everyone doing?

I have had sore nipples post ov the past two months, but I don't have them this time. Instead, I have ridiculously sore boobs. They were so sore last night I couldn't sleep. I went through a phase of this on the pill, though, and I have a fibroadenoma in my left boob which can hurt sometimes, so I'm not holding out any hope, as I've got no other pregnancy symptoms (currently 7 dpo). I've had some cramps too @Soph, but that's normal for me. I might do an early test at 10 dpo, but I'll see how I feel!
How are you @Pibbee? Hope you're ok.

How you doing today @FlatWhite?? @RSKhan1 I took the seven seas conception tablets for one month but didn't get pregnant on that cycle. I stopped as I felt that they were making me really bloated, but I have heard really good thing about them too.

Hi everyone! So, did an FRER at 10dpo this morning and got this:

It's very faint, but it's there! Can't believe it. Not getting over excited though in case it ends up being a chemical. Going to test again tomorrow. X

Meant to add, my only symptoms have been ridiculously sore boobs and bad bloating. I'm really tired, but no more than I normally am in term time! Primary teaching is exhausting, and many of my colleagues have said in the past that early pregnancy tiredness isn't a symptom in primary teachers as we are so used to being shattered!
