TTC First Baby! Anyone else?!

[Delilah7]

Hi Ladies.

Anyone else on their first cycle and TTCing?! I'm seeing all these beautiful posts about ladies getting pregnant and how they have bonded with people on here soooo, thought I'd make one at the start on my journey!

@AmyLouise94 once you start TTCing it's so hard not to get obsessed hahaha xx

Agreed I'm not even a month in and Im doing ovulation test daily and an so and ordered a basal thermometer today aswell and taking his and her conception supplements I don't feel stressed just over excited I think x

Right guys. Defo not on my period how I thought I was going to be. Only appears when I wipe pretty much. Brown and I think I can see pinkish in there. What does this all mean. I'm so confused now 😂😂😂

Hello ladies, can I join in?

This is our first month TTC our first child. I've been avidly reading this thread every day but not joining in because I was scared it would make me a crazy person too early in this journey.

But I've still been symptom spotting since the very start of my fertile window, and I'm obsessing over this thread and then feeling like a weird stalker for not joining in. So I think it's just made me double crazy...

I think I'm about 3dpo, but it could be as much as 9. Regardless, I fear AF is knocking my door. A week of unusual symptoms have turned into quite normal pmt and I've been spotting and cramping for the last 3 days. Which is a week and a half early! Ugh.

Anyway, glad to see hope isn't yet lost for this month @Delilah7 !

I'm it - AF for sure now :) so now to wait till ovulation day! :)

Hi ladies, just checking in. Have been trying out these opks this month and started to get a faint line past couple of days, so maybe Flo is right and ovulation is on the way! Been doing the dangling legs in the air for 10 mins dance to get things to stick! Probably doesn't make a difference but at least I tried!

@ChaosMoon welcome! Don't feel that way I stopped my pill end of April so first month TTCing for me too!

@CookieWaffle Hahahaha doing the dangling leg 😂😂 lovely to have you check in!

@CookieWaffle haha love the scientific approach my other half made me do that!

@ChaosMoon Im not even into a month of TTC so dont worry, I found from this group there is nothing but support I'm glad I found it!

@Delilah7 keep tracking! If AF came on the day she said she would its a sign that you keep going hun!

I had a bad day yesterday suggesting AF will be arriving anytime soon! I was in a foul mood! so I may keep track from the next one but I may keep it cool and see what happens!

Sending love & baby dust! xxx

Thank you ladies!

I am loving the idea of this dangling leg dance. I'm definitely trying it. If DH tries to laugh he's doing it with me! I hope it work for you this month @CookieWaffle

@MrsLStone I'm sorry yesterday was such a bad day. Why can't PMT come with unbridled joy instead of misery and rage? We're already miserable enough when AF visits. Why must a hormones make it even worse question mark? Hopefully it's a false alarm.

@Delilah7 I think @MrsLStone is right. Regular definitely bodes well.

Xxx

Oh god, I have to get better at proof reading before I post...

Hahaha @ChaosMoon we understand you it's fine. And @MrsLStone does it? Well I' hoping I can blink from 11th through to 17th. Im ovulating ONE of those days I'm sure of it 😂😂 xx

@Delilah7 a healthy regular cycle I think is a tell tale sign of healthy fertility! And if your app is spot on with your body I think you should trust it on ovulating days! Xxx

@MrsLStone it says 13th I'll ovulate. Just concerned I'll miss it which I obviously did this month! Xxx

Hi everyone. Hope you don’t mind another ttc friend. I had my implant out in feb and have been using Flo which is very addictive. My cycles seem to last around 26 days now on cycle 4. My period seems to come when flo says it’s going to. I see this as a good signs that I’m regular have no idea how to predict ovulation. I never thought ttc conceive would be so hard. Been on contraception since I was 16 and now 35 feel like my times running out which doesn’t help the stress. Think I need to relax and have fun. Xxx

@Ladybug82 hey!! Ah yes, I think sometimes you can over think it. I have been using Flo too, what do you think of it? I have decided to TRY and not think about it too much this month and just have fun. I am currently 4 days late, have a couple of early pregnancy signs like sore boobs and feelings a bit sicky in the morning.... but had 2 negative test results!! 🤷‍♀️ came off the pill almost 2 years ago and took me almost a year to have a period so I'm not holding my breath to be able to conceive quickly! Have you tried ovulation tests? Xx

Can I join in too please? 🙋🏻‍♀️ I've been off the pill since last October but using condoms - hubby and I decided to ditch those for the last few weeks just in case, but with AF due next weekend this month will be official cycle 1. Just been reading about all the vitamins to take if you're trying to conceive, will be spending a bomb in Boots tomorrow! 😂 xx

Morning and welcome along to the new ladies! Apparently ovulation is due anytime so I will be peeing on opks like there's no tomorrow! And DP is off work so I'll need to do some convincing that we need to BD ASAP!

@smoochimoochi I’ve found flo quite good cause it does give me the right period dates not sure ovulation is correct might try opks next month. See if they tally up. Fingers crossed for you.

Morning everyone does anyone recommend any easy to use ovulation tests x

Can I join please? We're trying for our first baby now. It's officially our first cycle but not sure I pin pointed ovulation and my fertile window very well this month.
I do have PCOS and some other 'issues' and am getting some help for that at the moment.

Hello @Ladybug82 @shinglebob and @TheOneWithTheBaby (and everyone else!)

Ovulation tests haven't worked for me yet - I can't go long enough without peeing!

I'd love to be regular. My cycles vary from 20-33 days. I'm now on CD19 & anything from 11-4 DPO.

I've been spotting for 4 days, & thought it was the start of AF. Thing is, I'm happy. More specifically, I don't feel like I'm useless, the universe hates me and I want to kill everyone, which is the most reliable symptom of AF.

I don't know what's going on, but at least it's sunny. That should make it easier to follow @Ladybug82 's fantastic relax and have fun advice!

@smoochimoochi, we're not out until the day lady (Or in this case AF) sings!

Love seeing how many new people have joined this thread.

Wishing you all love and baby dust. Someone in the families announced their pregnant. Was abit sad but happy for them of course. Xx

Got my first high fertility on my clear blue ovulation test this morning day 12 of my cycle. So fingers grossed I get a peek in the next few days this is only my first cycle off the pill and ttc very excited x

Don’t worry Delilah7 a few people I know have got pregnant very quickly and I’m so happy for them but can’t help but feel sad inside it’s normal. Wishing you love and baby dust too and everyone x

@Ladybug82 you too lady bug. Just hard especially when it was expected for me to be next! Xx

Defo see a difference in my period. Yesterday was red/brown but Friday and today just brown... and rather lighter than usual on the brown days! X
