TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies

Hi Ladies 🙋,

I'm new to the forum so thought I'd look for some TTC buddies.
I'm 30 and TTC baby number 1, I came off the pill beginning of May and had a withdrawal bleed a few days later then got my first AF 4 weeks after that. Last month I sadly had a chemical it was gutting seeing the faint line go but I guess it wasn't my time!
AF arrived on time Sunday so looks like my cycle ranges from 34-35 days.
I'm currently taking pregnacare and using the Ovia app for ovulation, I'm thinking if I don't concieve by month 6 I'll try ovulation sticks. Onward to month 4 I go 🤣

@Hewie30 OH wants me to wait until our early scan on the 28th to see if everything is ok, think he's worried if anything was to be wrong he'd be in denial abit, like the longer we leave it the more he could ignore it? Although I feel like everything is fine 🤷🏼‍♀️ had no bleeding, not many cramps etc, don't really feel pregnant but I'm soo bloated 😅

Hewie30 · 16/09/2019 11:18

Sorry @flossy12 I was meant to tag @katie1109 😂🤦. Had you on the mind!

That's understandable he feels like that. I think for anyone until you have the first scan you can be on edge until you get that okay that everything's okay. That's great you haven't got any cramps or bleeding etc, hopefully your little pea is getting snug 😍😍😍😍

@flossy12 Hun before your positive, did you get any cramp feeling on your right side and down the leg? I'm getting it today, I got it a few months ago before AF but I'm too early for AF to be arriving yet unless my cycles gone mad again 😂

Hello Ladies
Can I join? I'm 27, single and TTC #1 using a donor.
I'm 4 DPO and the wait is killing me!

Hewie30 · 16/09/2019 12:00

@Elle192 Of course you can hun, welcome!! How you feeling?

Gigi318 · 16/09/2019 12:48

@flossy12 that definitely seems to be a male trait - they don't like to deal with things do they. I think my OH would be the same. Less than 2 weeks to go though now 🤞🏻

@Hewie30 that's a good deal. I don't know whether to stick with my CBs as I have them. Oh what to do 🙈

@Elle1992 welcome, lovely! It's tough isn't it. But that's what we're all here for! How are you feeling?

Elle1992 · 16/09/2019 13:14

Thank you ladies, appreciate it so much!
I swear every twinge, cramp or sickness I've been like oh my god maybeeeee but I know I'm just looking for every symptom and prob imaging half of them 😅

Gigi318 · 16/09/2019 13:17

@Elle1992 oh babe, I'm exactly the same! It's driving me mad! Is this your first cycle?

flossy12 · 16/09/2019 13:27

@Hewie30 yeah I get his drift I don't mind anyway saves me money 😅 aww I hope so! Keep teasing OH that I feel it might be twins 😅😂

I did get a few little cramps a few days before cause I thogh 'surely AF can't be coming this soon' 😅 so fingers crossed! 🤞🏻

@Gigi318 ooohhh so exciting!! What date?? Mines on the 28th

Gigi318 · 16/09/2019 13:35

@flossy12 that's good to know. I'm still waiting to do my test chick - testing on 21st and thinking positively 🤞🏻 but less than 2 weeks for your scan now so not too much longer to wait! Are you still feeling good? So pleased for you if so 💫

flossy12 · 16/09/2019 13:44

@Gigi318 oh god of course 🤦🏼‍♀️ bloody baby brain 😅😂 not that I need any help in that area 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Hewie30 · 16/09/2019 13:51

@gigi318 I'd stick with your CBs for now there's no point spending more mkneh when you've gone some :)

@flossy12 Oooo that's interesting! Hopefully that's a good thing for me. I've gone a opk this morning and it's gone dark so I'm thinking AF may be on her way 😲. Hoping it's not!

Elle1992 · 16/09/2019 13:51

Yep it is 😏

Gigi318 · 16/09/2019 13:51

@flossy12 don't you worry - I'm in a handful of threads with such lovely ladies, but I find myself losing track of where everyone is. I feel awful always asking what CD or DPO or when AF is due. But I can't always scroll back to find it 🤣

Hewie30 · 16/09/2019 14:10

Still getting confused by my opks 😂. Here's my graph for this cycle and below is my opk today and it's gone darker again 😂🤦

@Hewie30 I'm far from a fertility expert or a midwife, and I'm completely green at this being on #1 cycle 1, but I'm CONVINCED a BFP is coming. It's only ever getting darker 🤣 CONVINCED!

Hewie30 · 16/09/2019 14:57

@Gigi318 Haha! 😂😂. I'm so glad I have your positivity in my life 😂🤩. Hopefully your right and I'll get a positive soon

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 16/09/2019 15:02

@Hewie30 well, either you are or I am seriously awful at this guessing game. But a hunch is a hunch! Otherwise, giiiirl, you've had the longest fertility window on earth 🤣👏🏻 I'm hoping I'm right there with you. Because if not, I'm either extremely poorly or going cuckoo 🙊🙈

Hewie30 · 16/09/2019 15:05

@Gigi318 Haha I know right!! 😂😂. It would make my cycle in the 40s or I have a short luteal phase 😂. I have read though that you can get positive opks before AF so I'm hoping that's not the case!

OP posts:
Katie1109 · 16/09/2019 15:08

@Hewie30 you must be the most fertile person on this earth! Come on, this must mean you've got a BFP on the way. Positive OPK on cycle day 30? I've never seen anything like that!

Gigi318 · 16/09/2019 15:13

@Hewie30 I'm hoping not too. But based on what I've seen/read on here, lots of people have had positive oops and then a BFP. I'm still rooting for you. How are you feeling today??

@Katie1109 exactly!!!

Raizelrea · 16/09/2019 15:31

@Hewie30 Is that your BBT graph? I don't know much about them but the couple I've seen that looked like this were ones of people who got a BFP (not to get you too excited haha)

Hewie30 · 16/09/2019 15:45

@Katie1109 Hahaha I wish I was! 😂😂. It's so odd isn't it! I done a bit of researching on the forums and it sounds like it can be either AF arriving in a few days time or a BFP. Damn! Let's keep everything crossed that it's the second one 😊. How you doing hun?

Gigi318 Really? Fingers crossed 🤞🤞. I'm feeling sick on and off, and my cramps by my overies seem to have stopped so I don't feel too bad! How about you? The sickness stopping?

@raizelrea Nah Hun it's a opks one unfortunately! The BBT I've read if your temp goes up it could mean a positive but not sure about opks!

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 16/09/2019 15:49

@Raizelrea that's so exciting. I really think a BFP is coming for her 🙊

@Hewie30 either way if not BBT then still sounds bizarre with the positives. I'm still holding out hope. When is AF due again? The same time as me - at the weekend? Yesterday I felt completely fine and today nauseous on and off all day long, with a bit of a lingering headache but nothing too annoying! It's bizarre!

Hewie30 · 16/09/2019 16:00

@Gigi318 Yeah it's most definitely weird!! Yeah hun it's due Saturday my app says, but if the other day was a peak then it could come anytime up to next Thursday which would be a 40 day cycle🤦😂. Ooo that's positive!! Those two are definitely signs of early pregnancy 🤞. Bet your excited to test!! You think you van hold out?
