Hey girls... thought I'd make a new post I'm struggling to find new ones 😂 I'm 28 nearly 29 and my other half is also the same age! I'm currently on my period and this is the month we have decided to start trying! I'm so excited but also do not want to get my Hope's up as I know it can be a very long journey to get that BFP! Anyone else trying this month? I'm looking to get ovulation sticks to increase my chances xxx

Ah hope you manage to speak to someone soon! I finished yesterday but I have a longer cycle (34days) so I’m not due to ovulate until around 16th March! I am just going to monitor CM and go with my estimated ovulation this month. I think the OPK sticks will stress me out 🙈

Hey guys,
Hope you don't mind me joining in :)
First month ttc, I've had one normal period since I've come off the pill and I'm 12dpo. AF is due on Thursday and I can't think of anything else 😂
I know it's highly unlikely we will be this lucky on the first try and I've been cramping yesterday and today but you can help but let your mind wander can you 😁🙈

KrissyMB · 02/03/2020 15:11

Good luck @cherryredhair I will keep my fingers crossed for you!! Xx

KrissyMB · 02/03/2020 15:13

@ParisInTheSpringtime that's brilliant, so did you actively just start trying the past month? I am trying not to over think things. Coil removed on 12th and this last week coffee and tea tastes disgusting...could It be?? I doubt it but who knows! Will test around about the 12th just to see...

Welcome @cherryredhair! Ah @abby25 I’m so happy I’m not going through this on my own!! X

KrissyMB · 02/03/2020 18:00

Ahhh @1987Nic that's exciting!!!!! Go get your man 😉 x

1987Nic · 02/03/2020 19:23

Haha thanks @cherryredhair@KrissyMB, I was just reading your messages and he’s asked what I’m smirking at lol.Blushxx

KrissyMB · 03/03/2020 08:03

Well girls. I officially think I'm going mad!!! Woke up during the night feeling all sorts of nauseating, and did a pregnancy test. It ofcourse came back negative! I have no ide when I'm even due a period because of previously having the coil and not bleeding, and only got it removed Feb 12. Since about a week ago I have gone on coffee, only certain days, and I feel sicky constantly. God knows if its it's anything or if I'm just feeling weird because a general change of hormones! Going to wait another week and test again!

KrissyMB · 03/03/2020 08:04

Gone off coffee even!

cherryredhair · 03/03/2020 08:48

@krissyMB I know it's so frustrating isn't it. I've been waking up through out the night the last few days which is unlike me. The cramps have stopped today though so I guess we'll have to wait and see

KrissyMB · 03/03/2020 11:29

Girls I took a first response test and I'm pregnant 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉

1987Nic · 03/03/2020 18:47

@KrissyMB I’ve never got many symptoms when having periods or being on the pill but as soon as I came off I felt totally different, sore nipples, heavy feeling in my stomach, nauseous and so emotional. Hope you are feeling better today.

1987Nic · 03/03/2020 18:48

@cherryredhair Yey!!! I’m so over the moon for you. Bet you were totally shocked with it happening so soon. Smile
