TTC journey starting late Nov 2019!

[Elmlee]

Hey out there!

Thought I'd start a little thread to see if anybody will be in the same boat.

Finally decided to start our TTC journey! Very excited and a little nervous!

This will be our first baby, I'm 28 and my husband is 27. We have been together over 8 years. I have already started taking folic acid with vitamin D to get used to taking it.

Looking at TTC after we are back from our holiday to New York in November.

Currently on Cerelle and been on this for 4 years before this I was on the implant and then before this another pill from about 16.

I have no idea about cycles and not really had regular periods since I was 15!

Feel free to join and tell me your story if you are going to start your journey around the same time! bye for now!

@JayJ0 I'm 6dpo now. Apparently with the FRER they recommend 11-12 dpo the earliest that would be assuming you implant no later than 10dpo so I guess ideally test on the day of your expected period . Fingers crossed for you that it doesn't take as long this time! You're defo still in with a chance this month x

Thanks @Loubell19 this is today’s test I’m about 13dpo going to do a FR tomorrow to see what that says x

Keep us posted @JayJ0 frer are much more sensitive! X

I'm trying to resist the overwhelming urge to test in the morning (10dpo) someone please talk me out of it 🤣

Aw thinking of you @Loubell19 the wait is awful! I’m telling myself now to try to “let it happen” and I’m trying to get to accept that it could take up to a year but let’s see how I feel on my two week wait 🤣 xxx

I know it feels like all logic goes out of the window 🤷‍♀️ @LuluRM xx

Omg absolutely @loubell19 I’ve decided I’m not buying any until the day I’m due my period (let’s see though 🙈). Last month I had all the symptoms and nothing so I’m going to try not waste my time overthinking any more xx

100% @LuluRM. I think I might be out this month anyway now 😞 had a temp dip this morning and getting pms symptoms so definitely not testing now unless AF doesnt arrive friday x

@Loubell19 sending you ❤️ Xx

Thanks @LuluRM need to learn to chill about this whole process and bring on cycle 2 x

Hey girls! I started bleeding today so looks like I’m out! So gutted but I agree with use I totally need to just let it happen and try (even tho easier said then done) to not be so obsessed and thinking about it every second! This 2 weeks has felt like forever to me and I’ve looked in to every tiny symptom and now I just feel really silly! Here goes for cycle 2! Guess I can have a little drink over the Christmas period x

Sorry to hear that @JayJ0 😞. It is a consuming isn't it! Guess we just have to try and relax and be realistic as it's only 20% chance each month even with the correct timings. Baby dust to all of us ❤ exactly I'm already dreaming of my xmas day bubbles 🥂.

I'm going to try SMEP for cycle 2 as it seems a lot of people have success with it. Worth a try 🤷‍♀️ xx

Ooo what’s SMEP?

Yeah Christmas Day bubbles sounds amazing hehe!
I send all you ladies baby dust it’s so sad when af arrives and you desperately want to be pregnant but at the same time it’s all part of the experience pregnancy goes so fast and then babies grow so fast so enjoy every minute of the process I say, even the conceiving part! :) xx

Sperm meets egg plan @JayJ0 Google it it should be the 1st result! Theres a few threads on here of people trying it! I know exactly just think when babies are born well look back on all this and wonder why we got so stressed! May as well enjoy all the BDing before life completely changes! Xx

Hey, anyone got much experience with ovulation tests? Got this is morning, when you do reckon I should retest as don’t want to miss ovulation! Thanks xx

Hey @LuluRM almost there.. I would recheck this evening and tomorrow as well. Looking for same colour or darker than the control x

Thanks @Loubell19. Got a less clear line this morning so a bit confused 😂 I’ll keep testing over next few days. Would have bought the clear blue one as looks a lot easier to use but it’s a fortune! Xx

@LuluRM it's better to test 10am to 11pm as most LH is produced in the morning :) so FMU tends to be fainter xxx

But that could have been your positive! Sometimes the LH surge is very short xxx

Yeah perhaps! Thanks @loubell19 I’m just going to keep testing and just baby dancing as much as we can. Suppose it doesn’t matter when you ovulate if you dtd enough, just would be nice to know! Xx

Hi all, how we all getting on? I’m in my second 2WW started today.. the dreaded wait begins however I’m a lot more relaxed this time and what will be will be! Did you get your positive ov test @LuluRM? Xx

I'm on my first cycle of active TTC. Previous 2 cycles following implant removal were both 29 days long. AF is now 3 days late and I've been getting BFNs.

Got lower backache and mild cramps but had none of that in the last 2 cycles before AF. Just want AF to hurry up and arrive now so we can get cracking on cycle 2!

@Jane0510 oh exciting! Well your not out untill the witch arrives as they say! My 2WW started today and I’m hoping it don’t drag like the last time trying not to obsess over it but it’s hard to not let it take over your mind isn’t it?! 🙈

@JayJ0 I know exactly what you mean, hope it goes fast for you!

I'm 4 days late now wasting loads of money on tests that turn out to be negative too haha. I don't even feel like AF is coming, I've had EWCM instead of the dry stuff I usually get, think my body's playing tricks on me!

@Jane0510 did you do ovulation tests this month? I’m just wondering if your period is any out of whack because of the implant? Xx
