TTC first baby... mega thread!

[Crossfitgirl]

For those of us TTC first baby, a continued thread for August 2018 :-) a place to share our new mummy journeys!

Please can I add one tiny little rule? We are all really pleased to be able to share bpfs and good news with the lovely ladies that are supporting each other on here...

Please get to know us a little before posting your bpf :-), it makes it all that more special when we have gone through it together!

@ BambiOnIce80 @ RobynC19 @RanchoRelaxo @ CookieWaffle @ BabySquid @Buttons28 @MrsMcNtobe

Sorry if I have missed anyone else!

So... there were 2 little threads the same, so I've just put them into one so hope we can all be on the same journey :-)

I'm 30, got married last year, came off the pill in Feb. I am cycle 5, but only cycle 1 of "properly trying". Just about to move to a bigger house ready for a family!

I'd like to hear from those I don't know:-) where are you at, what cycle, tell us about yourself:-)

@ranchorelaxo me too, mine LP has been around 9 days :-( just started taking conception support so will see if it helps lengthen it!

Thank you for adding me

Have been a fairly silent member on this board as I only joined a couple of weeks ago. Have been watching with interest on all of your TTC journey and patiently waiting to join in properly. I stopped the pill end of June just after our honeymoon and since then was waiting for my cycles to get going. No aches or twinges or anything happening. Thought my body had forgotten what to do tbh, hence my shock this morning.

I'm sticking around if that's ok as I'm routing for you all x

Thank you for including me @Crossfitgirl 😊 I love the mega thread idea! Lots more people to share in the madness 😂

👋👋👋👋 everyone!!

Age 32
Cycle 1

Today is CD 31 for me, 10dpo

Have very unpredictable and long cycles but this one seems to be a bit more normal.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone and seeing some BFPs x

Hey @crossfitgirl

Its still on my mind ALLLL day every day (Mr is telling me to try and relax) according to Ovia app (spending way too much time on that) my period is due in 5 days... a little bit of crampy pains and cranky mood but I’ll see what the next week brings

Great idea the more the merrier!
Age: 31
Cycle: 4 though properly this is the 2nd

Currently 6DPO and finding every sign under the sun to convince myself it's my month 🙄 I've become a right bore!

Cycle 7
Hi everyone, I would love to join this thread. I'm struggling a bit at the moment as ttc is making me so anxious! I came off the pill a year ago and started trying in January although a couple of months have been missed due to timing/ illness. I really thought this month was our month as we were away on holiday and felt very relaxed but AF has shown up today!

I look forwards to hearing about everyone else's ttc journey and offering support/advice where I can. Good luck everyone! X

@ttcat32 @Crossfitgirl hi guys! I don't think I am pregnant tbh :( xxx

@Crossfitgirl I like that idea too about the BFPS. Nice to share a journey with you xxx

Hi all! I'm 23, TTC #1, Cycle 1 - I think?

Currently going through a weird couple of days as 'AF' came a week early which never happens, and is completely different to normal AF 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

@Delilah7 try and stay positive hun, what CD are you now? X

@rollerskaterdata join this thread too! X

Thanks @Crossfitgirl makes much more sense now having one big group 😊 xx

Hi everyone 👋 thanks for making the thread crossfit!

I’m 27
TTC #1
Cycle 3

Came off the pill in December but used condoms until July.
I’ve been married for 5 years but have finally settled long enough in one country with a job with enhanced mat pay that we feel ready and financially confident enough to have a LO.

We are following SMEP, and I’m CD11 so using OPKs everyday but I don’t expect to OV before CD14.

Good luck to all of you, I’ve become a little bit obsessed with TTC and certainly spend a lot of time worrying about it.

@cupcakesandglitter 25 Hun. But it's so hard as id normally be on on CD28 but who knows with my period this month due to MC :( how're you now petal? Xx

Hey ladies thanks for including me @Crossfitgirl 😘

For those I haven't spoken to before, I'm 25, TTC No1, came off the pill a couple of months ago and am currently on my TWW of cycle 1. 6DPO today! I hate this waiting...

I'm sure most of you know moaning myrtle over here but.
I'm 23. TTCing for our first baby.
Was trying for 3 months got pregnant had a miscarriage start of August now waiting for my period!
Let's make sure we keep this thread going 😘😘 some amazing ladies on here that have helped me throughout everything and I honestly wouldn't still be here on this journey without you

@MrsR16 we're at the same point in our cycle! When are you going to test lol?! x

Excellent work on the megathread @Crossfitgirl 😎 @TakingtheLeap @ChaosMoon @CookieWaffle, don't want you being left behind! Hello to everyone I already know and really looking forward to getting to know those I don't 🙂

TTC #1, waiting for AF to start on cycle 5 (BFN on FRER 12dpo yesterday). Did 39 cycles with the ex 5 years ago and got a diagnosis of unexplained primary infertility back then. Luckily got divorced before wasting any NHS IVF shots!

This time round using flo app, taking conception support vitamins, using IC OPK's, fertility lube, trying to DTD day before, day of and day after ovulation, bum in air for at least 10 minutes after DTD to try and give everything a helping hand. With all that, still no joy 🙄 Adding acupuncture to the TTC arsenal next cycle and first appointment for that will be on Thursday 📍

I apologise in advance that the week before AF I am the worse kind of symptom spotting psycho (SSP 🤪), so sorry if I try your patience 😬 We've got another 3 weeks before inner SSP rears her head again though 😉

@Delilah7 I don't know 😩 if it's AF I'm onto another cycle, but I won't be temping or using OPKs. This is too much stress on my body, and it looks like my cycles are going to go back to being all over the place :( AF was due next week, so I'm going to wait and see what happens I think! X

@cupcakesandglitter you take and do things how's best for you and your body / health Hun.
Lots of love to you xx

@sunshine1987 I'm not sure!! I'm going out to buy pregnancy tests today, but I don't know whether to get an early detection one or not! What about you?

@MrsR16 I've got an early detection one but wondering if that will stress me out more so I'm going to try and hold out until AF due and then if it doesn't arrive test then.....famous last words 🙈
