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 🤭🙂🙂🙂

Have come to join!

Been on contraception for 10 years, had implant out Feb 19 and have only just ovulated naturally for the first time. Was put on provera to induce periods by doctor. First time worked, second time didn't and just when I was gearing up to go again I had some CF so started to do OPK's and got positive results. DTD the day before and three days before ovulation. I know I would be incredibly lucky to fall pregnant on the first real try but currently on a TWW to do a test. I have first response and the cheapy amazon tests ready and waiting (amazon ones have been recommended most!). Now every niggle in my stomach I think is a pregnancy 😫 going to be disappointed if it's a BFN but also don't think it could be a BFP :(. Agree with previous chats about how easy it seems to other people to fall pregnant, life is a funny thing.

I wish you all the best of luck, don't lose hope, there is lots of help out there! X

@georgiexo I hope you do get your BFP! You’re right, there is lots of help available to help people out.

A girl I work with had ivf etc etc for a couple of years and had thought the last lot they were going for hadn’t worked. Her baby was born just before Christmas nice and healthy :)

It’s just such an unpredictable thing really which can be very hard. Xx

Hey I stopped the pill in November, on 2nd cycle of TTC baby #1
Taking folic acid and vits.
AF due next Thurs and thinking to test on the weekend.
Currently on 8dpo and feeling mild cramping so hoping for the best!

FX everyone

Hi all,
We are first timers TTC. Never followed my cycle, tbh never paid it any attention whatsoever I'm tried googling and I think I understand but can anyone just confirm when is the best time to DTD in my cycle.
Since I have been following my cycle I have since realised I have quite an obvious cycle (I hope)
DryCM- AF- EWCM- (very) wateryCM - DryCM- AF and so on

Am I most fertile at the EWCM or the watery feel like I've peed my pants stage? Should we be DTD as soon as EW starts or straight after AF?

Next purchase OPK which will prob confuse me even more

Thank you @Twinkletoes85!

Good luck @beaniesunrise I’m told first response tests can pick up 6 days before missed period although it’s less accurate so do one again the week after maybe?

@TangBloodyFastic If you don’t know by your CM then definitely need ovulation tests. The cheap ones on eBay or amazon work well (what docs use) and I can recommend the clearblue digital ovulation tests. You just dip them and wait for reading 1 line means not ovulating 2 lines mean you are. Do them around the time you get CM if not every day and keep track of results.

Fertile window is around 6 days as sorry can stay in system for 5 days. The clearblue ov tests says day before and day of ovulation are highest chances.

Good luck and try to keep it fun and not like a job as it just puts stress on everyone :(

@TangBloodyFastic meant to say sperm not sorry! Also the cheap tests results are lines, the clearblue digital does a circle for negative smiley face flashing for high fertility and sold smiley face for peak fertility

Going into 6month pill free and not a thing happening , well minus AF.

A bit fed up ,I just feel bad for my DH as he was waiting for ages for me to be ready .

@Thistle23 I've been off the pill for ages too. I'm on cycle day 43 right now and nothing!! So frustrated

@RMusic12 no idea about another app for chatting like this, it is hard to keep up! Nice to have lots of others in the same position though ☺️

@xoJellyBean I had an early period last month and I've been pissed off ever since . I then spent Xmas unwell so couldn't std.

not std🤦‍♀️ dtd

Ahhhhh
I am 5dpo, today I have had a stomach ache and keep getting twinges below... what on earth?

@rmusic12 me too!! Nothing overly uncomfortable or painful but they are definitely there, been really cranky the last couple of days too... Could be reading into things though?
Has anyone else had really yellow wee (sorry) read that it could be pregnancy related or maybe the extra vitamins x

@francis05 I'm the same! Trying not to overthink it, way too early to test. Prob nothing ☹️

I said on another thread, I've never really paid attention to my twinges or cramps so now I'm overthinking every one without really know what my norm is

Im going to try and hold out testing until at least Monday, have some cheapy tests coming tomorrow but not buying a frer or cb for the time being x

I had my smear on Wednesday so they had to test before as apparently they can’t do it if you’re pregnant. Negative

However the last month/6 weeks I’ve been getting various types of discharge (sorry) which seems to be changing as it should through the month (I had none at all when on the depo). No AF yet but I’m hoping this means my body is successfully trying to get itself back into a cycle again

Well I’m now 9DPO and had really sore boobs today. They don't normally change or get sore before AF so I’m tentatively getting hopeful. Going to wait til at least Sunday to to do a FRER. AF has been different every month since coming off the pill so going off my shortest cycle (25 days) AF is due to arrive Wednesday. Hopefully she doesn’t show up 🤞🏻

So here’s a weird one for you ladies...

After DTD... to pee, or not to pee? That is the question. (Can you tell I’m an English teacher :P).

But seriously, does it make a difference?

I think I got my first BFP tonight on an internet cheapie, struggling to upload a picture but it was definitely a line within the time frame & has got darker since, just ordered a cb digital to take in a few days. Eeeekkkk

@Newbie0818 I don’t think it makes a difference with regards to conception but it is recommended to pee to help to not get a uti!

@francis05 fingers crossed for you! Exciting!

@Newbie0818 I lie down for at least 20 mins then get up to pee (to avoid UTI)

Thanks @bluemoon2468 and @twinkletoes85 that’s what I’ve been doing, lying down for around 15 mins (sometimes upside down haha) then going. It’s gross otherwise but I just wanted to make sure.

Yay @francis05 fingers crossed!

I am now 6dpo and keep getting stomach cramps and a really
Upset tummy - sorry tmi ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
