Hi ladies . I’ve just finished my period today and my husband and I are now going to start ttc our first baby after having my Mirena removed last week.
Is anyone else TTC this month ? I’ve ordered some ovulation tests after I said I wouldn’t because I’ve read so many success stories on them so I thought I might as well just so I have some in case !

I’d love for people to share their journey with me ! I’m 24, 25 in two weeks . So excited for our journey . I’m trying to figure out this whole lingo on here and stuff sorry! X

@gemgem1404 so sorry to hear you got a bfn but I'm assuming AF isnt showing any signs yet either?
Your not our yet it just may be too early to test.
My aching today with cramps. 10po. I also have a really sore left leg its like a pinching feeling in the back of my thigh. I dont know If its related but it's so damn horrible. I've got PT on the way from Amazon so I'm going to test today, not expecting a bfp tho as it will be midday and probs still to early to tell too. 🙈

JEMMA18 · 18/11/2019 11:09

@LEA84TTC wooo congrads ! I bet your over the moon! How many days past ov was you when you tested ?
Made up for you 😊

Lea84TTC · 18/11/2019 11:10

I’m 11dpo and my boyfriend and I could easily see it this morning. It’s much clearer than the photos and it has colour. We did a frer test as I’ve been told they are reliable and can test 6 days early.

Congratulations 🥳 amazing news @lea84TTC lovely to see some BFP. Did you have any symptoms?

Lea84TTC · 18/11/2019 11:20

Sore nipples from when I ovulated! Mood swings and more CM. I have had other symptoms on and off. But from what I can work out it’s a positive x

GaaaaarlicBread · 18/11/2019 12:56

My period hasn’t arrived this morning , still got very very sorry boobs but no other symptoms . Not sure whether to test tomorrow ? I know I tested the other day and it was negative but maybe that was too early and I also didn’t use first morning urine .

@Lea84TTC yay!! 💕🥳

That's amazing news!

Congratulations! @Lea84TTC Flowers
So pleased to see some good news for one of the group Smile

CurbsideProphet · 18/11/2019 14:01

More good news I should say Smile

gemgem1404 · 18/11/2019 14:50

@Lea84TTC congratulations 😄
@JEMMA18 no my only symptoms are massive mood swings and slightly sore boobs I had cramps over the weekend but they've gone now so who knows what's going on 🙈

JEMMA18 · 18/11/2019 16:28

@gemgem1404 oh gosh it's so confusing isnt it. I just want to know. I took a test an hour ago and it was a bfn so I guess its either too early or maybe I should do it in the morning to be sure.

GaaaaarlicBread · 18/11/2019 18:37

I’m so confused as well ladies . Still no AF and I’m producing white discharge which I never usually do. My breasts are so incredibly sore but I did a test this afternoon (although I had drank quite a bit) and it was negative . I’m on CD29 today . If AF doesn’t appear by Friday I’m testing again !

@Itsemily I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you ☺️

itsheapsswell · 19/11/2019 07:19

@Lea84TTC congratulations girly!!! So so so excited for you! I actually thought to myself- I think I’m going to have to trawl through your messages on here to see how you did it so I can get in on some of that baby dust aha.

Enjoy your exciting news x

GaaaaarlicBread · 19/11/2019 08:12

@Lea84TTC have you got any tips ?!

@han2291 thanks Han that’s nice of you . Still no AF today , I don’t mind if it comes I just want to know where I am with everything :( when the really sore boobs started I thought well it must be AF as that happened last month . So I was kind of relieved but nope , still a no show !
Lol have a good day everyone XX

I did temping and OPK packs and tried to take a more relaxed approach. Taken conception tablets for about 12 weeks already. Feel sicky this morning and had an upset stomach. The lines are darker today so fingers crossed the baby dust sticks x

CurbsideProphet · 19/11/2019 13:43

Fingers crossed for you Lea.

I take folic acid and am wondering if I should be taking one of those pre conception vitamins too.

Please could one of you link to the OPK you are using? My cycle is generally regular, but I'm debating whether to try using to check. Though as they aren't 100% I don't know if it would just confuse me!

Lea84TTC · 19/11/2019 17:19

Thank you everyone.

I took the Boots conception tablets. I used femometer OPK strips, app and thermometer. I also completely come off all caffeine and no alcohol.

I’ve got a doctors appointment booked on Tuesday next week. I’m hoping he doesn’t tell me I’m wrong.

notalwaysalondoner · 19/11/2019 17:20

I’m using these @CurbsideProphet

4M Crystal Growing Experimental Kit www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001G7P62S?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&tag=mumsnetforu03-21

They’re easy and although I didn’t see a line way darker than the control line (probably because I’m only testing once a day so might have missed it), the 3 or so days before and after ovulation there was no line at all so I’m pretty confident about them.

Tiamo04 · 19/11/2019 17:43

Hey Everyone :)

I was on the depo shot for 6 months was suppose to go back for the next one on 1st of April 2019 but didn't... My partner and I are now TTC baby #1 for a month now... I'm 24 and he's 34... Started using ovulation kits a week ago and finally got a positive one today so fingers crossed that it happens this cycle as I've taken tests with the gynaecologist and everything is back to normal :) Just worried after reading so many stories about difficulties women faced TTC after depo :(

Sprinkling Baby dust to all of you xx*

GaaaaarlicBread · 19/11/2019 18:13

@tiamo04 ah I’m happy for you ! I’m glad things are back to normal . Yeah my friend had the depo and it took her 10 months but then my cousin had it and she got pregnant in 3 months so it definitely varies ! You sound like you’re doing well , sending you lots of positive vibes !

gemgem1404 · 19/11/2019 19:55

Still no AF for me considering getting a frer test on Thursday. I've been using cheapie tests up to now all negative 😞 getting frustrated!
