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!

Could be the start of your period (does yours normally start like that?) or it could be an implantation bleed which would be why you got a BFN...your HCG levels wouldn't have been high enough...I hope it is the second!!!

@byanyothernamerose my period if it's coming should be in two weeks so I hope it's not that! It was pinkish brown with some clear?!

That sounds like an implantation bleed which is completely normal!!!

@byanyothernamerose I half wanna say don't tell me that 😂😂😂 I'll get too excited haha. I've got new wardrobes being fitted today and tomorrownso that'll take my mind off it!

Now just experienced a really loose tummy for most the morning. Heeeeeeelp 😂

Awww, I know how you feel Delilah!! It is so hard to not get excited...I am the same even though I have a BFP. I have had nausea since before I tested and yesterday had none and was secretly really worrying because a symptom went away. It is worry worry worry all the way!!

@byanyothernamerose so glad you've got your BFP though! I keep thinking was that mucus pink and brownish was I just imagining it?! Either way I never have anything like that lol

Plus my skins broke out so bad and I don't normally have that either. Wonder if that's a sign or I'm just over thinking 😂

Delilah7 I'm a little confused by your dates as I thought I saw you said your last period was 5th May? If so you are a week ahead of me and I am only now in my fertile week so wont test until the 8th June when my period is due. If this is the case I think you should maybe be testing next weekend. Sorry if I have got that completely wrong, there was a lot of messages to go back through! Sending baby dust your way xxx

@LittleGoose I am under the impression that was actually now my withdrawal bleed from the bill so technically I haven't had a proper period since. But I'm under the understanding you still can fall pregnant before then. And also, I used my app to show me when I ovulated so I'm going off that.

@LittleGoose and to clarify I wasn't going to be testing anymore till my periods nearly due

Delilah7 ah that makes sense sorry I didn't know about the withdrawal bleed. Thanks for replying :-) have you tried the ovulation tests? I found this really helpful when I came off the implant as I didn't know when I would ovulate. Although I guess you hopefully have ovulated already! Fingers crossed xx

@LittleGoose that's ok! I'm all confused of whether I actually had a period and all of this pregnancy stuff. It's so overwhelming hahaha. It's saying I ovulated 17th, so I'm hoping it's right. Most of last week we were not careful obviously hahaha xx

Delilah7 I know it is so confusing. Hopefully your period doesn't come but if it does at least you will know where you are with your cycle then. That's what I told myself anyway haha! Xx

@LittleGoose agreed!! Xxx

I think I'm gonna start doing the temping this time around. Does anyone else follow that? I just have a normal digi thermometer. If it doesn't work this month I think I'm going to have to talk to docs to make sure nothing is wrong. The fear is coming back, aaaagh...

@CookieWaffle don't be scared lovely. We're here 😘

CookieWaffle I tried but it didn't work for me. My temperature was all over the place. It could have been because I was still adjusting to coming off birth control, but didn't help that I always have to get up for a wee about 5am! My thermometer beeps too so didn't want to wake up OH. I might try again if I have no luck this month. Please let us know how you get on! Xx

Thanks @Delilah7 lovely xxx

I'm just getting the 'I'm too old, too fat, too stressed, there's something wrong with me, all of the above' worries again! I just wanna get on with it again! DP is also a little scared, more for the fact I might just wear him out this month! Lol xx

@CookieWaffle you're none of those things. It can just take time as I'm sure you're fed up of hearing lol. I'm being silly thinking it'll happen my first cycle which is this month but I very much doubt that haha dx

Yeah @LittleGoose I hear you have to be pretty accurate on when you do these things, plus I sometimes get up in the night.

@Delilah7 I was so thinking this would be easy. He's young and healthy, we went away on holiday, had a couple of goes, and I was really surprised when it's not as simple as that lol. I've had too many friends have 'happy little accidents'.

@CookieWaffle Likewise. My other halves 31 and I'm 22 so who knows. But I just hope it does. I want my grandad to know I'm pregnant before he goes. :(

Oh bless @Delilah7 xx I wanted the same for my nan, tho she did see my cousins kids before she went. My other half's same age as yours and I'm 9 years older so proper scared!

@CookieWaffle you'll be fine darling. Have faith x x
