TTC first baby cycle one! Anyone else out there?

[rosesandponies]

So.... first baby 🤞🏼🙏🏽🤞🏼🙏🏽 Meant to be ovulating tomorrow. Main challenge atm is keeping things fun with the husband and not making him feel like a baby making machine 😂 How’s it going for other hopeful first time mummy’s?

Roses and ponies - nope! Don't think it worked feel perfectly normal

Yeah I did test last cycle. I was a day late so I did a test and it was a bfn and then AF showed up like a few hours later. Bloody typical haha! I know I think it's difficult for them to relate because it's not their bodies. I'm totally obsessed too, I think it's just because I want it to happen so badly. Fingers crossed this is our month!

@Trying1stBaby fingers crossed!!!!

We've been putting it off because the time wasn't quite right (finances, weight, etc) so even though we've only just started actually trying I've wanted to be trying for so long that it feels like it has been ages!

Aw yeah I can imagine. You've been preparing and now starting so a lot of time has been spent on it all. I got married in December so it's still all relatively new to me. Although I'm not a hugely patient person and I'm not enjoying the lack of control I have over the situation hehehe!

Hi guys can I join?

I’m ttc #1 although it’s not our first cycle.. been trying since August 17... but with irregular periods I don’t even know why cycle it is anymore 😬🤷🏻‍♀️

Been to the doctors had my day 3 and 21 bloods done and an internal and external scans and have a doctors appointment on Tuesday to get the results for them.. I’m just hoping everything is ok 😬 fx

Been trying since the start of the year but no luck yet, hope I can join?

I've worked out how to message someone back properly! 😂 @hamandpease I'm sorry to hear that - it's so hard not to read into every little thing isn't it! @TwinkleBear and pretty much everyone else it seems that getting husband/partner interested in the cycle charts etc is a real challenge, guess for the men they want to 'just go with it' and my husband says I'll wind myself up so much it won't happen...

@Unicorn234 welcome - good luck to you this cycle 🤞🏼 saw my friend and her gorgeous baby boy this afternoon, took her 8 cycles I think!

@WaitingForThatBFP good luck for your tests 🤞🏼

I'm keeping my fingers crossed
Good luck to everyone 💗💙

Off on holiday in the morning and have packed a bunch of tests

My husband seems to assume it's definitely worked because we've tried

I have woken up with a cold

@rosiesandponies thankyou xx

OPK - ovulation predictor kit
AF - Aunt Flo
CD - cycle day
O - ovulation
DPO - days past ovulation

I read on here somewhere that you won't get symptoms before your period is very nearly late because it's too early so I am doing my best not to symptom spot, will drive myself bonkers otherwise

Where are you all in your cycles? I'm 3DPO ish but last two cycles were over 40 days so would be happy ish even if we have no luck this cycle but AF comes at a more normal time...

Hi Orcinus I'm CD(cycle date)25, 14dpo and due AF tomorrow or Sunday. I think I will be getting AF... I feel like I can feel it coming booo! I think your right as well about the symptoms. It's just such a long time to wait for an answer.

Hello to newbies!
@WaitingForThatBFP - I have long irregular cycles too since coming off the pill. Currently doing OPKs everyday and temping so hoping to catch OV that way.
Good luck with the tests - I am waiting on blood results for a potential thyroid problem too.

I am so snowed under with work stress that I have a feeling my body is not going to behave this cycle! Trying to do lots of meditation etc to keep calm!

Hi Ladies, i'm very new to all of this! came off my pill at the start of April had a WDB a day later for 2 days and i had my first period end of April. I have been using the CB ovulation test for the last 7 days and its now showing i'm at my peak so this is my first time ovulating since being off the pill. Im having pains in my right side and today my left side but no CM, i'm not sure how long my cycles are as only had one period since coming off the pill. Thinking my body must be doing ok though as had a period 26 days after stopping the pill and its now showing i'm ovulating. Is this a good sign? could it be possible ? even with out the CM not showing yet? The fact the ovulation kit is changing is a good sign ?? HELP lol!! xx

I never have notable CM but charting and OPKs suggest I am ovulating. I think some people have more notable CM than others.

Fingers x'd for lots of BFPs on here!

@FlapJackered I'm pretty stressed at the moment as well have had some exams for floristry qualifications and I hope it's not affecting my cycles which I feel are getting longer and longer... @OrcinusOrca thanks for the terms glossary and OMG I am literally 3 days post ovulating too!!! Is it still worth trying today??

Im 9/10 dpo, anyone see a line or am i seeing things!? X

@Mrsbarton I definitely see a line!!!! Congrats!!!!

Definitely a line congratulation 🎉

Omg! I actually cant believe it! Need to take another one tomorrow morning as its too faint for me to be 100% convinced but i am very excited! X

@mrsbarton
