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

@rathernotshare I use the connect clear blue ones - they expensive in the shop but are a lot cheaper on EBay. They connect to your phone and track everything for you. And tell you when to test from - they are handy to do to ensure your DTD on the right times x

@1987Nic thank you me too. For some reason had 19 days of high but no peak this month 😤

rathernotshare · 05/03/2020 08:44

@1987Nic thank you I'll have a look! Totally new at this!

@KaylieElizabeth thanks I'll look it up. To be honest, I'm not one to DTD every day so if i can just make sure I do it when it's really important 😂 DH will be gutted when he sees I'm testing for ovulation, lowers his chances 🤣

KaylieElizabeth · 05/03/2020 08:55

@rathernotshare haha well DTD needs to count now right? Let me know how you get on x

1987Nic · 05/03/2020 18:25

@KaylieElizabeth hopefully you will start to get peak days very soon. Smile
@rathernotshare
I got my tests from groupon (usually a voucher code to get discount too.

I am trying too conceive had my Mirena taken out 4/2 bled for 2 days light 25/2 negative tests so far is this too early too test pregnancy symptoms galore

KrissyMB · 06/03/2020 09:58

@Rachlou8 I was exactly the same. Had mine out on the 12th and felt beyond nauseous and the taste of coffee and tea was horrible but now back to normal so guessing it was just change in hormones. Waiting until my first period comes and take it from there, and just enjoy time with Hubby! X

Rachlou8 · 06/03/2020 10:40

I’m hoping I am but time will tell. Should I make a drs appointment ? Could it have been inmplantation bleeding ?

rathernotshare · 06/03/2020 19:14

@KrissyMB I'm waiting for my first too, it's driving me crazy! My mum keeps telling me she DTD once to conceive each of her 3 kids so hoping for her super hormones 😂

KrissyMB · 06/03/2020 21:58

@Rachlou8 I would hang fire and test in a few weeks! Drs wont probably do anything than send you away to retest @rathernotshare eeek we are in the same boat. Fingers crossed for us all xx

rathernotshare · 08/03/2020 18:34

@Rachlou8 I'm in a similar position, not long off contraception (1/2) and hoping I'm one of the lucky ones! Still waiting for AF after my withdrawal bleed but testing negative. Fingers crossed for you xx

Pink15 · 08/03/2020 18:38

@1987Nic how are you getting on? It's been a lot on my mind this weekend 😔 any symptoms yet? X

Sitchervice · 08/03/2020 18:45

AF over I think so back on the game. Hoping for a positive for this month!

Jessmary94 · 08/03/2020 19:40

Hey, thought I'd join, this is our first month ttc after coming off the pill. Last pill was 23rd Feb and my bleed was 26-29 Feb. Havent tracked ovulation this month, but have dtd every other day since my withdrawal bleed so hoping there is a chance of catching on of I have ovulate. Can't wait to get started properly

rathernotshare · 08/03/2020 20:24

@Jessmary94 welcome and good luck! I'm also a 94-er 😊

1987Nic · 08/03/2020 20:25

@Pink15 It’s also been on my mind far too much this month, I think I’ve got over excited with it being the first month. I’ve had a heavy feeling low down and I’ve broke out in spots but probably too early to be anything. How are you?, have you had any symptoms? x

1987Nic · 08/03/2020 20:27

Hi @Jessmary94, good luck to you. Are you trying for your first child?

Pink15 · 08/03/2020 20:32

@1987Nic funnily enough I've had quite bad spots last few days too but I think it started even before ovulation so doubt it's anything. But no other symptoms! Is spots even an early pregnancy sign?! 😂

1987Nic · 08/03/2020 20:32

Anyone over 30 in the group?, I’m 32 and 33 in November, my boyfriend is also 33 this year.

1987Nic · 08/03/2020 20:37

@Pink15 According to a random internet site spots can be a sign of early pregnancy ha. I’m hoping that I will calm down with the symptom spotting if I start another cycle.

Pink15 · 08/03/2020 20:45

@1987Nic hopefully this will be your first and last cycle 🤞😊 symptom spotting hasn't stopped for me so far (cycle 3 now) haha but I do now have a feeling I would just "know" if I was pregnant so don't think I am yet.

1987Nic · 08/03/2020 20:48

That would be nice but I’m the same as you, still far too early for me to feel pregnant. As much as I want it to happen soon, I’m trying to think of positive things I have to look forward to if it doesn’t happen this month.

Pink15 · 08/03/2020 20:51

@1987Nic me too even like getting my hair dyed!! (I think some people say to avoid in first 12 weeks?!) Got bath and wine 🍷🥳

1987Nic · 08/03/2020 20:58

@Pink15 Having your hair dyed makes you feel so much better. I’ve just dyed my hair on Saturday, I didn’t know you shouldn’t do it in the first 12 weeks. You having a wine tonight Smile. I’ve got my holiday to look forward to in April.

BabyB20 · 08/03/2020 20:58

Hi girls I just found out 2 days ago that I'm 5 weeks pregnant! We was lucky enough to conceive first month, I did use the clear blue ovulation sticks which were fab.

However I did about 6 tests at the beginning of the week and they all came up negative. I was exactly 5 weeks when I found out so try not to get too disheartened.....

Good luck to u all 💜🤰
