TTC FIRST BABY THREAD NO.5!

[Delilah7]

Hope all my lovely ladies have found it again. Thread no.5. Best mumsnet group ever 😍😍😍

Can I join? TTC first baby, I’m 33 and have PCOS. Currently waiting for AF who is 7 days late and have had BFN on every test all week!

Welcome @PeoniesforMissAnnersley!

Welcome Peonies :) I hope you get some answers soon!

@Crossfitgirl
I used to be quite heavy, did another opk just and the bottom one is like 30 seconds ago and already that dark the top one is the one from yesterday

Welcome @PeoniesforMissAnnersley!
Any symptoms other than late AF?
I also have PCOS so hoping it's a nice BFP for you to give me some hope!

@robync19 I'd take that as your positive, what's it look like now? Ovulation pending tomorrow by looks of it!

Hi ladies!
I was just wondering if any of you were on the pill before TTC?

I came off it middle of July and am on my third cycle since and I've realised all of my AF's have been alot lighter and shorter than previously.

They used to be up to 7 days of bleeding.
Now I'm lucky to get 4 days. Is this something to worry about? Does it affect my fertlity/conceive-ability??

@Crossfitgirl I think the test line is as dark or darker than the control line what do you think ? Fingers crossed ovulation tomorrow think gonna try dtd today tomorrow and Tuesday to cover all bases

Hi, is it okay if you join you all?
It's our first month and first time TTC. I'm 1dpo and I've just been googling and researching everything! After reading around this thread and on mumsnet im thinking OPKs are better than just relying on apps!
Fingers crossed for you all!

@Robync19 that's a definite positive!
@essjayycee Yes me, I'm not much help as I was on the pill for so long i can't really remember very well what my periods were like before, but I think mine are possibly a bit lighter. Mine only last about 3 days as well. It's still classed as totally normal as far as I'm aware. Plus your cycle can take time to settle when you come off the pill.
Xx

Welcome @abzi91!

@EssJayyCee I wasn't on a pill but had a coil before ttc and my periods are now super light too. But apparently still normal as well.

@RobynC19 yep that first ones a positive :)

Hey @Abzi91 yep OPKs are good if you can catch your surge, although they don't tell you if you ovulated. Taking temp everyday does though :)

@RobynC19 hi again lovely x x

@Teachermummy83 enjoy your time away 😘

@PeoniesforMissAnnersley welcome 😘

@EssJayyCee I was on Gederal and defo see a change that mine get lighter quickly but I didn't have any problem falling pregnant in July.. as you know MC but x x

@Abzi91 welcome! I didn't rely on OPKS and got pregnant by my Flo App, noticing my CM changes and ovulation pain x x

@CookieWaffle @Delilah7 I've been using Flo and Clue to keep track of my cycle because my periods were always quite irregular (until last 3-4 months where they've been bang on 35 day cycle..)
Used that and CM changes for this month. Hopefully I won't need to worry about next month, but if AF shows up I may have to rethink!
Thanks for the welcome

Hey all, hope you’re all having good weekends. CD11 so coming into FW so getting on it. Went out with my girls last night and they said I’m starting too late in the month and should be starting from straight after my period so feeling a bit deflated that I’m not doing enough 🤷🏻‍♀️ meh

@sunshine1987 it's different for everyone hun. I always said CD10 I'll start if I don't have sex before xx

@delilah7 same hun, just going to keep on as I am. They fell pregnant first month but when you get to 5/6 months in every other day every month is just too much lol 🙈 xx

This TWW is easier. Just not expecting it this time.

AF still will be disappointing, but I'm far calmer.

@sunshine1987 you know your body hun. Do you see any differences with CM etc that show when you're most fertile? Xx

@delilah7 yeah I can tell by cm but also opk’s and temp both confirm when I do. It’s always around day 18 to 20 so I always think starting on cd10 is giving me a good shout at it xx

@EssJayyCee I had exactly the same as you, exactly. Got BFP after 3 months and 16 week apt tomorrow xx

Thanks for replying @crossfitgirl @delilah7 and @katbecool It just came to me last night about them being shorter etc and had a bit of a panic about it. I'm glad it seems normal and is across the board for you ladies.

I'm not complaining because 7 days bleeding was a pain in the bum! With them being shorter it means DTD can commence sooner!

Deed done lol husband is feeling very sure if him self apparently that's the one lol I wish it worked like that x

@Minniecat2406 Aww congratulations! That fills me with confidence!
I feel so happy when people tell me they are pregnant! I get so excited for them!
I can't wait for it to be my turn!

I'm hoping to fall pregnant before Christmas so I can reveal it as part of my families Christmas present!

@RobynC19 Would be great if things worked like that! Hopefully he is right and sent his best swimmers in to do the job!

@sunshine1987 defo honey. I missed my surge I think last month xx

@minniecat2406 congratulations xxx
