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!

Hi, joined the previous thread but it was near the end and I couldn’t keep up with all the messages!
29
Ttc#1
Cycle 1
Af/BFP due 2nd so currently sitting on my hands! I haven’t started using ovulation kits or anything yet just an app to track AF and estimates ovulation. Trying to be calm and relaxed but addicted to the app so that’s not really working too well!

Haha @sunshine1987 that's made me chuckle but also very concerned for my parts lol. I started 1 day early as-well last night thinking let's go for it lol.
Aww good luck, when is AF due? Got my fingers crossed for everyone!
Anyone read The Secret? I've been reading it to keep positive and relaxed which I know is easier said than done at times

Well hello everyone! I've just caught up! Thanks for the add @Crossfitgirl

For any newbies:
Came off the pill mid May.
Age 27
Cycle 3
CD 33 (11DPO) AF due Tuesday so if no show will test Wednesday.
Been having some minor cramps on and off, nothing major though and today some strange sensation - was kinda like cramps but kind of not too... can't really explain! But I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up!

@ttcat32 I've never been so happy while also feeling this utterly horrendous. But, that's what I signed up for right? 😊

Welcome @MrsC87.

Thankyou @ChaosMoon and congratulations! How are you feeling?

Hi still learning all the abbreviations lol. TTC had a miscarriage a couple of months ago now back to trying again. Hope you don't mind me joining this thread

@NeverStopExploring sounds like you're on a similar CD to me and @sunshine1987 😊 the waiting is horrible!

Looks like there is a few of us due AF on the 2nd. When are you all planning on testing?

Hi @Littlemisssunshine86 how are you? How far through your cycle are you?

@Malichick not too sure yet... I'm gonna try and hold out for as long as possible, but not sure I'm going to be able to!

@MrsR16 I’m the same. www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=6 That website told me there is a 3.6% chance I could get a positive today n I actually had to talk myself out of testing

@purplestar9 AF is due about 7th September and probably only 2 dpo.

@Littlemisssunshine86 you're in the TWW then! It always seems to drag. I basically have a 5 week cycle so 3 weeks before ovulation and 2 weeks after, I'm
Sure the 2 weeks feels like longer than the 3!

@purplestar9 yeh it's awful and trying not to get hopes up as well. Bless ya bet that's even more torturous.
Where are you currently in your cycle? Sorry if you have already said working my way through the thread lol.

@Littlemisssunshine86 no probs, this thread is pretty busy! I'm currently on day 33, 11DPO. AF due on Tuesday so really really hoping!! It's mine and DH 1st wedding anniversary on 31st so it would be so amazing if this is our month!

Anyone want to join for a glass or two tonight? I've accepted my cycles are well and truly f'ed up this cycle, going to chill out later and wait to start again next month! X

Hi also @MrsC87 don't think I've spoken to you before! How are you? Sounds like you've got your work cut out for this cycle! Good luck 😃

Sorry @cupcakesandglitter
Positivity is the way forward though!

Definitely @purplestar9 - I'll have a glass for everyone still in this month 😂 xx

Hi @purplestar9, I'm feeling good thanks, positive and energised, however after this next couple of weeks I'll need a holiday to sleep! Lol. How are you?

@cupcakesandglitter enjoying gin here myself! 🍸

@cupcakesandglitter and @ValidUser I'll join you with a gin and tonic 🍸 I've cracked open "the good bottle" to cheer myself up. BFN FRER yesterday and AF turned up bang on CD28 today... at least I didn't have to wait long for AF to show up 😏 Cheers to September ladies 🥂

Hello everyone.
New here. Age 33 and came off mini pill the second week in August. Would say c1 but no sign of AF - few cramps here and there but still waiting for her to show so I can figure out when I’m ovulating etc.

Looking forward to my clearblue opks this month!

Omg @ValidUser I have gin at home!! Currently up north - can't wait to get home and put my feet up! X
