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!

Hi guys, I've been a bit quiet recently, trying not to get too obsessed and read others posts and symptom spot! AF is due today and I don't feel anything, so I'm keeping everything crossed that she stays away!🤞🏻 I've had more energy this past week which is odd to say it's been so warm!
Also (tmi sorry) DH and I DTD last night and I had the most intense OG I've ever had! I'm hoping this is my body telling me that it's going through changes...
I'm trying not to test (and waste money) but were meant to be wardrobe building this weekend and I don't want to exert myself if I am PG. (wow that's a long post sorry)
Hope you all have a lovely weekend xXx

Hey!

I’d like to join too, first cycle ttc and very new to this. Would love for some support and guidance along the way :)

@Mummyquinn welcome and good luck in trying.

@chaosmoon no nothing only folic acid! So strange, I think I’m just over analyzing things I wouldn’t normally think twice about!
Are you going to bother with the pregnacare any more? I caved and did a test this morning even though I think I’m PMSing, BFN at 8dpo 🙄

Thanks @ChaosMoon, we tried again this morning and I've definitely got a sore spot inside so I'm hoping it was just that we were a bit rough.

My doctor told me to book a FSH test so I did. Then after reading on here someone mentioned it needed to be done on a certain cycle day. I called the docs and mentioned this, they didn't know so I went along anyway yesterday, while I had the needle in my arm I was asked what cycle day I was on, when I told them they said it was the wrong day and I needed to go back. Also my doc had booked some other blood tests for me anyway (but had forgotten to tell me) so they just grabbed the blood for those anyway and I have to go back next week.

Ladies, I'm normally very good at replying to everyone's comments in general. But can you guys offer advise. So I came on yesterday medium and ( tmi ) some was coming onto my pad, today I'm light only shows up when I wipe nothing in pad and had a few stringy bits. Seems like it's letting up. Help!

Fingers crossed @MrsSquidler 😁
That's awful @CookieWaffle! I hate needles so if someone waited untill the needle was already in to ask me that I would go mad!
@Delilah7 my periods are very light compared to what they were like on the pill (I think you said you came off the pill didn't you?)

Well I haven't got anything exciting to report here, have had cramps all day so am pretty sure AF is on its way either tonight or tomorrow, still holding out for a miracle though 😂
Ps happy Friday everyone!

@RanchoRelaxo mine are normally very heavy and was my last period off the pill! X

Hey girls! How is everyone getting on?Any updates? I am finally on CD10 (feels like it’s been forever since AF, don’t know about anyone else!). Did my first two CBD OPK yesterday + this morning. Both just circles. My app (Flo) says I should be in my fertile window, but it’s set my O day as Weds 4th. My cycles are normally 30-33 days long (with one random 27 and one random 35 for good measure) so I think that would be a bit early.

It’s my first month properly TTC (we’ve been NTNP up until now) so I’m a little confused.

We are on Pregnacare and Wellman, I’ve cut down my caffeine + alcohol and eating as well as I can. I’m 26 and so is my husband, and this would be our first baby (that’s not a furry one... we’ve got two of those). I’ve bought preseed too and that arrives next week. ALso started reflexology, which really helped a friend to conceive.

Sorry for the long post. Let me get to my point hahahahaha!

I want to use to SMEP - which starts from day 8 I think? My app says I’m due to O next Wednesday 04, but with my longer cycles I’m right to think it would be next Friday 06, even Saturday 07 right? I should be due AF around 20/21/22 (our birthdays haha). So therefore my FW probs won’t start until Monday/Tuesday.

But we are going to start BD’ing now anyway, and will continue with my daily OPKing. But not expecting a smiley until Sunday I reckon. Who knows. Totally new to this but learning so much about my body!

I have been massively stressing about it and have spent hours and hours and hours watching videos and reading over the past months. It consumes you doesn’t it! But I hope that by using the SMEP I won’t need to think about it all the time and obsess. Does that make sense?

If someone could let me know if my thoughts above sound ‘about right’ I would be beyond grateful

Baby dust to every single one of you ❤️

@delilah7 keeping everything crossed for you. X

Hey everyone,

I'm currently trying to conceive but had a very light positive result this morning, however when I took a digital one 2 hours later it came back negative so I'm feeling pretty confused right now has anyone had similar experiences?

@Delilah7 my periods were weird for months after I came off the pill. It sucks when you're ttc but don't think you need to worry. If you still have weird symptoms after it stops, maybe test again?

@CookieWaffle, that's crazy! I'm glad they took the blood for the other tests but seriously! I'm sure you're right about the sore spot though.

@FSlater if your possible dates are the 4th, 6th and 7th, could you time it to bd on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th? I think that's what I'd do. Assuming I understand smep properly!

@KlioKay how exiting! The hormones are stronger in the morning, so try again tomorrow!

@Booklover87, I'm just doing folic acid now and making sure I have plenty of green veg and dairy to cover iron and calcium.

I'm getting a bit upset and worried it's been 43 days since stopping the pill and my period is no were to be seen I apparently had a peak on day 20 but I'm not convinced if I'm honest and I have taken a lot of tests all negative I keep reading stress don't help but this is the thing causing me stress have booked an appointment Friday with the doctors

@RobynC19 oh bless you, I can understand that must be worrying but my friends in exactly the same situation at the moment she's not had any signs of a period for over two months so please try not to panic I know it's difficult but it will come. Doctors is a good idea though I'm sure they'll put your mind at ease x

@FSlater good luck with the smep, I haven't read up on that so don't know the rules I just know it involves a lot of sex haha
@RobynC19 that must be so frustrating, I hope the doctor helps

9dpo today, and AF if due but nothing yet, I had lots of period style cramps yesterday and actually kept going to the loo to check if it had started because they were that bad. Sooo I was googling late last night (I know 🙄) and I read lots of stories of ladies who has AF cramps before a bfp.. I am still holding out hope, mainly because this month I felt so positive like I really thought it had worked.

Anyway sorry for the rambling 😂 hows everyone else getting on?

@RanchoRelaxo keep hold of that positive thinking! I have everything crossed for you.

@RobynC19 the doctors are a good idea, but try not to worry. I'm sure your body it's just resetting itself after being on the pill.

I hope the sunshine is providing everyone with a welcome distraction this weekend!

@ChaosMoon thanks lovely. I'm still abit on today but yesterday and today is like brown, not red.

I know it doesn't always feel like it @Delilah7 but this is also good sign. Your body is taking it's time to find it's rhythm and be perfectly ready to welcome your dc. It will happen. Xx

@ChaosMoon just feel sad again today about it.
I'm so much hotter than I'd normally be in this heat, I've been late with my alarm everyday as I just can't get up lol x

AF started today - two days early - so I’m out! Onto July - fingers crossed!

Xxx

I'm just frustrated cause not even trying if I havnt got a cycle my app on my phone has give up and no point using my cbfm as can't start till my period does I'm just feeling down tryed every natural way to induce a period and nothing and re tested bfn

Hey Lovelies, I need some advice. AF was due on Friday... nothing showed up, so yesterday morning I tested, BFN! I had the slightest pink tint yesterday afternoon when I wiped, (and I mean the slightest) but still no AF, not even this morning!!
What do we think?? Should I test again or wait it out? Xx

@MrsSquidler test again! Maybe wait until tomorrow of you can to give any hormones chance to build in your system. (Easier said than done though right? ) I have everything crossed and I'm sending baby dust!

I'm so sorry @RobynC19. It's frustrating, but it is normal when stopping the pill. They tell you not to try for 6 months after, mostly to stop you driving yourself crazy when stuff like this happens. Doesn't mean it won't happen for that long, just that you need to go easy on yourself.

@MrsO10D, fingers crossed for July!

Hey, feeling a bit worried if I’m honest! I’m on CD13 - no LH surge detected on the strips, no smiley face on my CBD, and only just starting to get some CM (but not EWCM!). My cycles are normally 27-31 days long. I’m just panicking that I’m not going to ovulate this month? What do you girls think? I’m still DTD every other day just in case as this SHOULD be my window. But feeling quite disheartened and a little worried to be honest 😕 xx

Hi @FSlater, don’t worry. It might be that you are ovulating late this month. Apparently not everyone ovulates every month. Not what you want to hear I know, but hang on in there as you might see something over the next few days. X
