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

@cheyanne101 I think you just have a feel around and the bit that feels like a little lump and feels different to the rest of the vagina wall, is the cervix? I know what they look like but I wouldn’t/don’t feel confident when checking mine 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Liam2018 I honestly can’t recommend just DTD as and when you can because the first month we didn’t track and just did it when the mood said so, we’ve conceived . My app said my fertile window was X Y and Z days but as soon as I noticed I had lots of cervical mucus I documented it on the app and it switched my fertile window so I think it’s very generic . I only did Ovulation sticks out of curiosity after we’d had sex and they were very positive so I think we just got lucky by not worrying .

@Maddy0405 the exact same thing happened to my friend and the dr put her on the pill for a month to like kick start her cycle again and she conceived the following month ! So they might do that ?

@CurbsideProphet ok so it sounds gross but put your finger (middle one is best as it’s longer ) and follow your vaginal wall until you reach a little doughnut- it will either feels like the tip of your nose with a tiny dent in the middle , if you've conceived it should be very high (although this isn’t the case for everyone but it’s also a good indication of whether you’re ovulating), and it will feel more medium soft like your lips when you do a pout or your chin . Does that make sense ? If you’re going to come on your period it will be low and hard. Go in the position as if you’re inserting a tampon or do it in the shower . It’s a good technique but does feel weird first time x

Sorry tagged Curbside instead of you @Cheyanne101 about the cervix thing !

@chey you will get your BFP don’t worry ! Honestly try and relax , cut out caffeine if you haven’t already, drink a tonne of water as that also helps make more Fertile cervical mucus. X
