TTC baby #1

[GaaaaarlicBread]

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

@itsemily
Hoping since I've been off for 8months that it'll happen soon :D

How's your journey going?

Babydust to you xx*

Thank you @notalwaysalondoner
I'm officially on my 2ww now, but if I'm not pregnant this time I'll give them a try in case I'm not ovulating when I think that I am. We only tend to DTD on the weekends. I thought I ovulated on Sunday this time, but obviously I could be out by a couple of days which could mean we're missing the window. I'd genuinely never considered all of this before we started trying

@Tiamo04 fingers crossed for you !!

My period still hasn’t arrived ! I had my coil removed in September , ovulated a few weeks before that according to a scan so I know I do ovulate . Had a period 21st October-25th , and was due my period this week. No signs at all yet but got a negative pregnancy test so I have no idea what’s going on ! We’ve just been DTD when we can , not sure when I ovulated as I’ve not tracked this month 😬🤭

I think I ovulated about 14/15 days ago based on EWCM so maybe I tested too soon with the internet cheapie tests at the weekend 🤔 gonna buy some more tests tomorrow I feel like we in similar boat @Itsemily waiting for af or bfp 🙏 hope we both get the BFP!!!

Fingers crossed for you both @gemgem1404 and @Itsemily. It must be very frustrating to not know either way!

I’m 7dpo and have no symptoms at all... kind of the opposite to last month when I saw symptoms everywhere! I just feel like this month it hasn’t happened for some reason. And my temperatures were not in sync with my OPKs so I’m not completely sure when I’ll be able to test either. I’ve ordered some First Response tests so I can check on my birthday, but expect it will be to early to tell sadly.

@notalwaysalondoner I’m

I’m 8dpo and very much in same position my temps have been all over the place but recently the last few days they keep going up so I’m pleased. I have no symptoms but previously I’ve had very symptom and felt very pregnant but I feel that I’m totally out and just waiting for AF. I may try vaginal temps next cycle it’s meant to be much more accurate. I plan on testing Friday/Saturday when is your birthday?

Got my fingers crossed for all of us that AF stays away!!

@gemgem1404 yes be lovely to see some BFP

@gemgem1404 I’m so glad I’m not alone! Fingers crossed for us all xx

Fingers crossed for everyone. I cant wait to see more BFP
I'm a day late for AF but no signs yet 😕

I’m super grumpy today (poor DH) which is normally a sign for me 6-7 days before AF so suspect this month is out for me... but will still test tomorrow as it’s my birthday and don’t want to drink too much if I am pregnant. Trouble is it will be the first day I can test with first response so might be negative anyway - guess I need to just rein in the drinking anyway but will be difficult with all my heavy drinking friends who I’m spending the weekend with!

Awww I'm out AF just arrived 😞. Hope to see all your BFPs still I've got my fingers crossed

@gemgem1404 sorry to hear you out enjoy the mental rest before next cycle. @notalwaysalondoner I’m 9dpo tested this morning with an ic it was negative which I totally expected. Planning on doing a FRER Saturday. These people who test early and get a BFP first try are so lucky

@notalwaysalondoner I usually rage clean the kitchen a few days before AF I'm only 4dpo. I'm not really expecting to be pregnant. This was only our first proper cycle of ttc, so I'm trying to be realistic...

AF arrived :( but good luck to the rest of you! x

Still waiting for my AF to show or a BFP!! Not tested since the other day but can’t quite dare bring myself to 😬😖 still producing discharge and very sore breasts but no AF.

Sorry to hear your AF has arrived girls , into next month ! Xx

@itsemily fingers crossed for your BFP when you test

Just tested and it’s negative . I did a CB so didn’t even need lime eyes , clear as day ‘not pregnant my . I’m so confused :(

@Itsemily I'm sorry 😔 what CD are you now? Do you think maybe you ovulated later than you originally calculated?

@han2291 thank you , I’m ok CD33 😖 I’m going to give it another few days , and then maybe test again . Maybe I did ovulate later yes but it would be weird as the two months prior to this month I ovulated on the same day each month (the scan in September showed i ovulated and then the OPKs last month showed it) so it’s jus frustrating . I feel quite low as I have lots of symptoms but leading to nothing . I just don’t feel right :(

I’m going to London next weekend for DH birthday and I really don’t want AF to show up then !! That’ll be such a bummer 😔😬

Well AF showed for me this morning ...3 days late. I'm out this month sadly. But it's my first cycle and my first natural cycle since the pill. I'm just glad I'm having them because before the pill I could go almost a year with no AF.
@itsemily aww you must be getting frustrated 😕 how long are your cycles normally? I have my fingers crossed that you get a bfp before london or AF shows up before. I always find it turns up for me just when I plan things it's so annoying Urgh.

Baby dust to all

BFN for me this morning. I think I’m 10dpo but my temps are still up. Does anyone know when they drop before AF as I’m due Tuesday?

I also tested this morning (9dpo) and got a BFN. Was convinced wasn’t pregnant but then have had clear spotting and very light cramps this morning, so very much hoping it’s implantation. But it is quite red when they say implantation should be pink or brown so don’t know what’s going on - I’ve sometimes had light brown CM before not near AF but never spotting like this... think I’m just going to keep to 1-2 drinks per day for my birthday weekend just in case!
