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!

Ahhh amazing, thanks @PixieLoo - just what I've been looking for!

@TwinkleBear that's good to know, I've been impressed with it predicting AF for me too, fingers crossed it helps us to get that BFP! Smile

@CookieWaffle Ooooh well that's strange, fingers crossed it's more positive signs 🤞🏻 And even 12DPO is still early... some people don't implant until then and then it takes at least 48 hours for your hormones to show ... So you've still got a good chance Hun! 🙌🏻🙏🏻

Hi @TwinkleBear, sending lots of baby dust to you... Sorry for not getting your BFP! I was the same last month... you get all these crazy symptoms and then when she turns up it's a bloody awful feeling 😩 Fingers crossed for this month!!! 😍👏🏻

Hey hey @PixieLoo 👋🏻👋🏻🤞🏻🍀

Hey there @digitalcat, nice to see your prepping to start your journey!! These forums are great... Literally the only place that has kept me sane these last couple of months... we are keeping it on the low too until we get our BFP... so with no one to openly talk to about it all it's a great place to get advice, support and have a rant if you need it 😂👌🏻

Thanks @SunshineAndRainbows6 and hello and good luck to everyone! I really needed someone to talk to, I want to share with friends but I just don't know if i should this early....

Thanks @SunshineAndRainbows6 ! Wishing us all lots of baby dust! Totally agree @CookieWaffle I've wanted to tell friends but also don't really want to until it happens. Just hoping it doesn't take too long!

@Cookiewaffle & @TwinkleBear tell me about it... Even the simplest of things such as if you do or don't tell close family and friends that your TTC is stressful 😩 Especially if your like me and have older family members and inlaws asking when your going to make them great grandparents etc... 😂🤦🏻‍♀️👏🏻 Puts the pressure on even more and turns the stress level up a notch!! Hopefully we all won't have to wait much longer... 🙏🏻😁🍀🤞🏻 Is Clue another tracking app then? Might check it out... I have another 3 which all say different things... another won't hurt I guess 😂👏🏻🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi all!! Hope you don’t mind me joining this late Grin

TTC baby #1 on cycle #3

Most fertile day is apparently tomorrow. Last DTD on Tuesday night.

Pretty fed up with it all already and only 3 months in, it’s so mentally draining at times!! Not trying as hard this morning as trying to get sorted for a new house, so maybe it’ll happen this time as I’m not thinking about it as much!

Got 3 very convincing evap lines last cycle which I was not impressed with considering AF was 3 days late which NEVER happens... so as you can imagine I was like a mad woman Blush.

Wishing everyone the best of luck in their journey & hope you don’t have to wait to long Smile x x

Welcome @Amcg22! Never too late to join Grin
I definitely think having a distraction (especially one as big as moving house!) will help you forget a little and maybe help you along! I'm sorry you got those dreaded evap lines, heres hoping the next tests will be BFPs! Flowers

Hi @delilah7 and all you other brilliant ladies TTCing!! It’s been going okay for me but I did get a bit obsessive very quickly so from next month I am going to step away from the thermometer and possibly the opks if I can because otherwise I just get a bit crazy 😂*@sunshineandrainbows6* the lucky BFP group sounds good!! Looking forward to seeing lots of peed on stick pics!!

@PixieLoo @Amcg22 @TwinkleBear Hi new guys!! Sorry I was out of action when you both joined! My most fertile day was yesterday so tried to make the most of it. Love that you guys are joining this thread. Hope we all get BFP all at the same time. What a dream that would be hehe dx

That would be lovely! We're also getting ready to move house in about 2 months so starting to get ready for that! I definitely drove myself a little crazy the 1st cycle, this time I'm just gonna try to relax and take it easy and just dtd as often as possible!

Delilah7 · 18/05/2018 06:33

@TwinkleBear Defo relax! We moved a month ago to the new house so we put all that on hold as my other half then gets carried away and likes to do things in the house we don't actually need to yet 😂😂 we will help you relax and be positive! X

Same here @Delilah7 :) I'm trying not to make it a scheduled thing, just going for it whenever he's interested (which is often!)

Just had some spotting and now the positivity I had is falling a bit. Still a chance I guess...

@CookieWaffle they like it when we just pounce 😂 oh no, could it be anything else like implantation bleeding?

@Delilah7 I'm wondering (hoping!), no idea what that looks like though!

Hi all...I am on my third cycle like a few of you so thought I would join the party!!

I took a pregnancy test this morning and 'think' I saw a faint line but trying not to get my hopes up too high...really hard though! Taking another one tomorrow morning but I am still 7 days before my expected period. How soon do you guys test? Do you have the patience to wait?

I only tested so early because I have been feeling nauseous for the last 4 days and my nipples are a little tender...I'm hoping I am not reading into things too much...please help keep me normal and not obsessed!!

@byanyothernamerose hi lovely! Welcome! Ooooh do send us a picture when you do? We will keep you normal I promise 😘 Urm I'd suggest maybe a few days early if you couldn't wait. If you've got symptoms I'd take one! Xx
