TTC First Baby. Anyone else?! New Post

[Delilah7]

Hi ladies. We reached the max posts!! @BambiOnIce80 I'm feeling ok, just feel abit silly. My flo app says I'm due tomorrow but I am always 28 days and always have cramps which I don't have yet. How about you xx

Don't feel silly! I'm usually 28 days, but my flo app says I'm not due until Monday this time (CD30). It's the first time I've added the OPK data, so seems I got the BFP on CD15 flo is assuming my cycle is going to be 30 days this time. I think it's more likely that I ovulated a day late this month, but will have to see what happens in a few more cycles to see if there's a trend (science brain is good for some things 😉). You may not be feeling like you're getting AF because you're not going to get AF 🤞

I've been quite chilled today. Busy at work and not letting myself dwell too much. Still feel like AF is around the corner, but I'm OK with that. What will be will be 🙂

Well done @Delilah7 for the new thread :)

Hey @Simplethings121, thanks for the message! I was exactly the same when I started, thought this can't be that bad then realised how traumatic waiting was! My DP was the same and I've had to keep explaining 'Now we need to wait 2 weeks, and if it doesn't happen we try again in another 2 weeks after that!'.

As for me at the mo, we're in the middle of fertile season and DTD isn't always as easy as we hope. Not managed one successful go yet and I'm predicted to ovulate at the weekend, aaaagh!

Hi!
I’m TTC #1, Cycle 2 CD6 and anxious to pinpoint using OPKs a bit better this month.
I’m terribly anxious and convinced I cannot have children (no reason why this would be the case) we hear so much about the ‘risks’ of pregnancy and I’ve had my fair share of contraceptive mishaps but I’ve never been PG.
Gutted that I didn’t fall pregnant during Cycle 1 but I’m trying to remind myself that I don’t need to worry until it’s been a year!

Hi everyone! The old thread dropped off my watched list and have just seen the new thread, fingers crossed this will be our lucky thread!
How is everyone doing?
I am 4dpo but not feeling hopeful this month cause we only had sex once during our fw (although my boobs are killing me but that is defo not a sign this early is it)

Hi ladies! @Patapouf you would not believe how anxious and paranoid I've been for years over whether I can get pregnant. Now I've had the chance to try I realise, yes it can take a long time for anyone at any age but it can be quick too and actually we can't predict either way how long it will take so we just have to try and see. Even if the odds are against us there's still a chance. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Hi everyone! I wasn’t on the first thread but I hope it’s ok to join in now.
We’re TTC #1. I could do with some advice actually!

I came off the pill on the 4th of July, cycle 1 began on the 8th of July. I had a positive OPK yesterday! That was CD17 (long cycles), we DTD the previous day, CD16, but DP didn’t fancy it yesterday if we DTD tonight CD18 and ideally tomorrow night too CD19 will that still give us a chance?

@Hofty yea that is the ideal time to be doing it, a positive opk indicates you will ovulate within the next 2 days so sounds like perfect timing to me, good luck!

@RanchoRelaxo Thank you so much! You too!

Welcome aboard @Hofty you're more than welcome here! I agree with rancho, definitely good on the timing.

Thank you so much @cookiewaffle! I’ve got everything crossed!

Hi everyone! so glad you all saw this post. We maxed the other one out so well done everyone for the support. How's everyone feeling? Welcome newbies on this post @Patapouf @Hofty! xxx

@CookieWaffle thanks Hun x

@BambiOnIce80 it'd be nice if she didn't come but I know she's gonna rear her ugly head :( still no cramps

OMFG.

@Delilah7 congratulations!

@Delilah7 massive congratulations!

Oh my god congratulations @Delilah7!!! xxxx

@CookieWaffle @RanchoRelaxo @sunshine1987 Thank you!!! I'm so shocked. Don't always believe in symptoms. I've not had many apart from CM. Keep the faith ladies!!! I'm gonna keep on here to update you guys and watch your journeys. I've got to go pick up a midwife pack from doctors. I'm so shoooooook!!!

Huge congratulations! @Deliah7
Over the moon for you!

@Hofty thank you!!! how're you today x

A little bit sad, we didn’t manage to DTD last night or the night before, CD17 and CD18 with a positive OPK. Never mind! There’s always next month.

OMFG @Delilah7!!! What did I tell you?!?! Congratulations!!! 🎉 😍 🎉 😍

@BambiOnIce80 😍😍😍😍 thank you!!

Let this be a lesson to us all to not test too early! 😂 I was reading up on it a bit last night and the majority of the advice is that early pregnancy tests really aren't that reliable and frequently give false negatives. They reckon the best time to test is 12 to 15 days DPO at the earliest.

I was going to message you with what I'd found this morning @Delilah7, but clearly you've found that out already! 😂
