Who else is trying for a baby? First Time?

[RMusic12]

Hey everyone!

Who else is trying for a baby?

How you been finding it?

I stopped the pill in October, I know it takes time but really wanting a positive soon! Just need to be super patient 🤭🙂🙂🙂

Right ladies!

Sorry if this is tmi!

At the weekend during my
Fertile window I was spotting.

Today I have had heartburn, which I never get and my boobs feel funny! Tingly, sore, itchy.

And yesterday all I did was cry!

I am so tired too !

Surely this has got to be some sort of sign??? X

@Rmusic12 I had heartburn & sore nipples around 30th Dec for a few days, not sure what it means but was definitely unusual for me, just had a quick look online and heartburn is quite common during ovulation... Could you have been ovulating?

Had some spotting yesterday morning and twinges/camps the last couple of days...dare I think it could be implantation symptoms? Xx

Hiiiii joining this thread - trying for our first now! So exciting :)

We tried for the first time in December just after getting married, and AF was due 3rd Jan but no sign yet. Only had BFNs so far though, so not sure if it's stress or HCG levels being too low!

Fingers crossed @belle118 hope you get your positive soon! Have you had many symptoms? Xx

@francis05 thank you! I do have some yeah, but then they're so similar to my normal period (mostly cramps and bloating) it's hard to tell if its wishful thinking or real. I don't have sore boobs... they do feel a bit heavier but again I'm not sure if I'm just overthinking everything!!

@belle118 did you come off any birth control in Dec? It's so confusing as pms & pregnancy symptoms are all so similar. One minute I convince myself im pregnant then change my mind as too scared to a test and see another negative xx

@Newbie0818 it is really nice to see you’re not just going a bit mad and other people are feeling what you feel.

It’s also so nice to know that it’s normal to be feeling so odd!

@francis05 exactly, so frustrating isn't it! I'm doing exactly the same haha, within a day I go from letting myself be like yaaaay I might be pregnant to nope, no way, don't be silly, being paranoid about symptoms, chill out...! Cycling back and forth constantly and feel exactly the same about testing... might wait a week maybe?

Nope no birth control - I never got on with it so I've been off it for years, and AF has been regular as clockwork for a long time, so shouldn't be any funny business like that. The only other thing I can think of is stress, but I don't know if it's been any worse lately than it has in the past!

@Twinkletoes85 @Newbie0818 definitely nice to chat to other people going through the same thing, feel like it all feels a bit crazy otherwise but its hard to talk about with friends who aren't in the same boat!

@belle1118 hmmmm! How long are your cycles normally? I’ve been on some other threads where some women get BFPs as early as 7dpo and some don’t get it until around 21-25 dpo, so perhaps it’s a slow rise in HCG? Either way, fx for you!

I’ve been taking an ov test everyday this week and it’s getting darker! So exciting to see SOME sort of line getting stronger, even if it isn’t a pg test 😂 so helpful as my cycle has been out of whack since coming off the pill

Heyyy may I join you guys?! 😁 quietly going insane lol

Hi @xoJellyBean join the party haha. How long have you been trying?

How are you doing?

Hello Ladies!
I want to join!
I stopped the pill in August and have been TTC "officially" since September. I'm 38 and this is the first time we've been trying to get pregnant!
Hope to read some good stories here! Good luck to us!

Hi new here! Hope you don’t mind me joining in the thread 😊
I’m 27 and husband is 29, been together 9 years, we got married in October 2019 and have been TTC since. I never thought TTC would take over my life as much as it has, it’s literally all I think about every waking moment!
Currently 7DPO, my cycles haven’t been completely regular after coming off the pill in September so AF is due at some point next week. My best friend started TTC last month and caught straight away which kind of stressed me out even more.
I’ve been a serial symptom spotter although every month I tell myself not to be, it’s just so difficult!
Anyway, yesterday and today I’ve had noticeable cramps and I’m hoping this could be due to implantation. I don’t want to get ahead of myself but fingers crossed. Will try and wait til at least Sunday before testing!

@Twinkletoes85 thank you! I have been off the pill since October 18 but didn't really start trying until about 6 months ago - we've been terrible at it lol! My period is around 7 days late right now but I do have cramps. How about you?!

@xoJellyBean it’s so hard to tell what’s a sign and what’s just your period isn’t it?

We’ve only been trying since November and my boyfriend put his back out two weeks after we started trying (unrelated haha) so really it’s only been a month. I was on the depo too so expecting a long wait to fall on :(

I came off the pill a few years ago with my ex but we split up before a baby so I remember all the confusion from then!

Hey guys, I'm new to this app and trying! Started this month and we aren't telling anyone so this chat sounds just what I need! Am due on 21st Jan so we will see!

Hi @Morgane777 good luck to you too!! I’m 34 and it’s our first time trying

@Nat4392 my friend came off the pill late last year and fell on about a month after, it is a bit disheartening seeing someone else got pregnant isn’t it. Even if you’re happy for them!

Yea it’s a difficult emotion. I’m so truly thrilled for her but I was just distraught when I came on the week after. She was just one of the lucky ones I guess. It’s still early says TTC wise for me, so I know I shouldn’t worry too much

@Twinkletoes85 everyone else seems to get pregnant so easily! I am starting to panic a little to be honest. Just want my own little bundle lol even though my period should've been here by now I don't wanna do a test cause I know it'll just be negative! Does anyone else know you're trying?

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind if I join the thread. Not many people I can talk to in RL.
I came off the pill in August 2018, started TTC November of 2018. Had a 4 month break from trying in 2019, so I could move to a new, much less stressful, job. Started trying again October 2019.

My cycles vary from 28 to 36 days.

After more than a year of trying the cycle of excitement and crushing disappointment each month is getting hard to deal with tbh

@kt2020 took me 5-6 weeks to get my period again after coming off Cerelle.

hi everyone, we are on cycle 2. Turns out you can have lots of sex and not get pregnant

@LJZRBB thank you, I’m trying to be more patient.
I had symptoms two weeks ago, which seem to be in line with ovulation so took a test today just incase and was negative so I’m hoping AF comes instead. At the moment I’m just In limbo.

@Nat4392 I know how you feel, when I was trying with my ex my cousin got pregnant. I went home and cried when I found out. It wasn’t that I wasn’t pleased for her but it is hard!

@xoJellyBean I know! Some people seem to just sneeze and get pregnant. I work with two girls who have been through a really hard time, ivf, losses etc and they have healthy babies now. It’s thinking of them that will keep me going, it is possible even when you think it’s not! My friend knows as she told me she was and my mum sort of knows but not that I want to talk to her about it. Does anyone else know you are?

I'm glad I started this thread through I was the only person feeling the way I was!

It's hard to keep up on this, is there a better app to use where we can all support each other?

If not I'm fine with this 😊😊😊

Hopefully it all happens for us soon enough!

I actually had a crazy vivid dream I was pregnant last night with a baby girl! Was so real ☹️🥰

Hi everyone! So nice to have a thread with alot of people recently off the pill... i stopped cerezzete end of October, had a withdrawal bleed 4 weeks later, and about 12 days later had a period.. i then ended up having a chemical pregnancy 😓 so trying again... currently CD 31, no sign of AF yet
