TTC 1st Baby. Keep positive thread. Please join

[MisssC3025]

Hey everyone

Please join me on my journey of TTC baby no 1 (5 months of TTC). It can be a rollercoaster of emotions and I think a positive thread of news, updates and tips is needed!

Feel free to introduce yourselves and explain where you're all at in your journeys.

Hey! I've been good thanks. Still have period like dull cramps here and there. Definitely feel it today. Not sure if it's normal I might give the GP a call, is that even the right people to call or should I call the fertility clinic ? Lol I'm paranoid as u can see. Trying to take it easy but I forget lol I'm also more tired these days. No MW appointment yet.

Hope you're well!

@Rinoa ah! I have those types of pains too !! I think it's normal but who knows what's normal or not lol. I have no idea who you'd call! I reckon if you call the dr they'd be able to direct you! Have you worked out how many weeks you are ?? Xx

@MisssC3025 according to NHS I'm 4 weeks ! Yea I'll call them today I think. I'm sure I just need to slow down but I'd rather them tell me lol

Do you get period like cramps/pains? That's what I feel

AF came this morning :( :(

@Tbug oh that sucks!

Hi All, this is out of my comfort zone as I usually keep myself to myself, but as this thread seems to have brought so much luck, I thought I would join in. This is our 2nd month TTC. Last month I used clear blue fertility tracker - cycle is 35 days and OV on day 23. Have been taking seven seas trying to conceive and DTD every day in fertile window, but no luck! Still using clear blue tracker and taking seven seas but this month we are going to use Pre-Seed Lubricant and DH is taking Wellman for conception. I am only on cycle day 14 so a little wait until OV. Really hoping this is our month as AF is due 25th Oct, the day after my mum and dad's birthday - so if it was a BFP, what a great birthday present it would be!

@KCT93 hey and welcome! I'm glad you felt like you could introduce yourself in this thread ☺️☺️

All the best for TTC! I started taking Seven Seas whilst TTC! However it took us 5months! As wonderful as getting a BFP for your parents bday it could take longer than 2months so don't worry yourself if it doesn't happen yet. For some people it takes 2yrs! I really hope it happens soon for you but relax and enjoy it ! Let me know how the lubricant works for you!

Morning, I havent tested this morning cause I'm certain af is on her way. If she hasn't arrived by sunday I will test, but I dont think I will get to then

@MisssC3025 thank you for the warm welcome . Did you take Seven Seas for the whole 5 months or did you try anything else? I read from the beginning of this thread and was made up for you when I saw your BFP! I know, I am trying to relax but I'm finding it so hard! 3 of my friends are pregnant and it just adds so much pressure! Thank you, will do! I hope you are doing well

@Soad23 good luck! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@KCT93
I only used the seven seas trying to conceive for one of the months. The thought let me try without putting things into my body and 5 month I got my 1st BFP! Thanks ☺️☺️

I could imagine you feel the pressure, but stress/worry won't help. Relax and enjoy the time of TTC! Tbh our 5 month we DTD every day during Fertile window whereas on other months sometimes we missed days and were too tired, but in Sept we thought let's just try every day and it worked for us! It was tiring don't get me wrong but totally worth it XX all the best

@MisssC3025 okay, thanks. I may consider stopping after this month if unsuccessful. We have just got to our fertile window, and I surprisingly feel so much more relaxed than I thought. It will happen when the time is right! You may have already said this way back, but how long were your cycles and which day did you ovulate? My cycle is 35 days and ovulate on day 24, would love to know if anyone else has a similar cycle and ovulation date as most people I know are the standard 28 days.

Hey guys,

How is everyone doing?

Disappeared for a bit as I've had so many birthdays and been so busy this month.

If clue predicted OV correctly then I'm currently 3DPO and have the most painful boops and nipples and had tingly nipples. I know it's far too early for any pg symptoms as egg wouldn't have even implanted so I'm not feeling hopeful as I feel they may be symptoms of AF instead. Trying to stay positive though, AF not due for a while so we shall see.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

@Jurassiclover

Hi, i have my fingers and toes crossed for you! It's still very early days!
Well I was due on last Friday, thought I was out but I have the most small amount of light pink spotting on saturday and sunday, but it was only when I wiped and it's gone today.
I have zero symptoms of af or pregnancy.
So I'm really confused, I really dont want to do a test as I dont want it to be negative. Might wait a few more days.

@Soad23 yeah still early days. AF isn't predicted until 18th of this month so still have a while to wait before testing hahaha. And oooh, could have been implantation, but I definitely understand not testing! It's so disheartening seeing no second line isn't it. Got my fingers crossed for you! 🤞

@Jurassiclover
How are you feeling? So I'm over a week late, testing negative. So I'm just now waiting for af to move on to the next cycle.

@Soad23 hey,

I'm okay. Not due on til 18th but not feeling hopeful. Idk how to explain it but I just don't feel pregnant. Probably going to test on the 16th as I have a job interview so will be good to know then if there's any chance etc. I've got really sore boobs/nipples, had tingling nipples and had some nausea but I feel like it's just my body tricking me and I'm trying not to symptom spot

Ahhh no that's so annoying. Is there any possibility you couldve ovulated late at all?

@Jurassiclover Evening, I could have possible ovulated later. I'm tempted to go and buy a better test. I have been using strip tests that have sat in my draw for about a year.
I dont feel any symptoms but I didn't with my first untill around 6/7weeks.
I am now 9 days late.

I have every thing crossed for you. I really hope one of us gets a positive result!

@Soad23 hopefully you ovulated later and you get your BFP very soon! Got my fingers crossed for you!🤞

Oooh yeah, maybe get some FRERs as they're meant to be really good!

How you feeling so far?

Yes, here's hoping at least one of us (hopefully both of us!) Gets our bfp soon!

@Jurassiclover @Soad23 I have everything crossed for you both!!!

Sounds v promising @Soad23

@Jurassiclover how many dpo are you? My boobs were the first indication of being pg! They killed me almost instantly! Still painful now and growing bigger every day! Went bra shopping yesterday and wow I can fit my head in my new bra cups😂😂

@MisssC3025 I'm 10DPO, my boobs are so sore, even just walking hurts hahaha, my nipples are also so sore and bloody hard all of the time 😳 hoping it's a good sign but I don't wanna get too hopeful and carried away

@Jurassiclover completely understand you don't want to get hopes up, but I definitely knew I was pregnant because of my boobs! They felt like never before. Very soon you can test! Are you going to wait until missed period? Not long now!! Xx

Guys, what do we reckon?
I'm only 11DPO if my app predicted OV correctly, I felt pretty sick so DP suggested doing a test (these are just cheap 99p tests) but I swear I can see the faintest line!

I’m 30, soon to be 31 ttc 1st baby. I’m on month 24 :( I’m doing my first cycle of letrozole with no known female factors, it’s Male factor why we can’t get pregnant (low morphology and motility) I’m 4dpo and fingers crossed for a miracle xx

@Jurassiclover hey!

Wow you did a test ☺️ I see a very very faint line on first but not on the second pic. Did you do this with FMU?

Have everything crossed 🤞🏼🤞🏼
