First month of ttc

[abby25]

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

@KrissyMB Congratulations, excellent news. My due date is about the 27th November according to a due date calculator.

@KrissyMB congratulations!!! November babies 👶🏼

@1987Nic according to nhs calculator I'm due 22 November - how about you? I got my bfp 5 days early too!! The wait to your expected period is long but I was reassured by my tests getting darker each day! Today was the first day I didn't test haha x

My date is the 27th November, can’t believe that it will be by the end of this year. Haha I’m tempted to test each day too but only have two more tests and want to save one for Saturday when the period is definitely missed ha.

I have an expected date end of November too, but unsure how accurate that is because I haven't had a period, I am using the date I got my coil removed and had a slight bleed just before removal! Love hearing all the bfp news:)

It’s lovely to hear about BFP and talk to people with similar due dates.

I agree @1987Nic I'm still a little shocked that it has happened so quick for us! I only took pregnancy test yesterday to kind of rule it out in a way...not expecting it to be positive. I texted hubby and told him to come home from work - said I had had an accident and needed his help...bless him he was all worried but felt it wasn't something I could tell him over whatsapp!

Yeh definitely something you need to say in person. I was lucky as my bf was running late for work and was there to see the good news.

Hi All

I work in a GP surgery and they dont seem very concerned that I am early pregnant. I am in work as normal.

Are you ladies self isolating for 12 weeks? I'm a bit worried and think I should maybe go home!?

Thanks x

Yeh Ive been told to self Isolate for 14 days until I’m further along in the pregnancy. Work then said 12 weeks if everything is going well. x

Oh gosh, I hadn't really given it thought as I'm off this week but just away to phone HR and see what they say!

Did you manage to get an answer from HR?

Not yet!! Trying to get their number is difficult enough😬

Hay,

Can I join please! I had my coil out on the 6th of this month, and we've been trying since then!

Has anyone else started trying as soon as their coil was removed? If so, how do you know what's removal of the coil symptoms as opposed to pregnancy symptoms?

Thanks!

@batmanBaby hey! I had my coil out 12th February 2020 and took a pregnancy test yesterday which confirmed I am pregnant. I had never had a period whilst having the coil - mirena coil - and I never really bled when it came out. I had a nauseous feeling after removal a few times, but that was more likely just my hormones changing with coil being removed

Aw that's amazing news @KrissyMB

I'm really hoping I get a positive soon! I had my mirena coil out on the 6th. I didn't get periods on it either. I had some very pink mucous (tmi!) A few days after having it out. I've had cramps, hot flushes, headaches and starting on Sunday I'm just so emotional and teary, which isn't like me at all lol

I did lots of tests leading up to a month after the coil was out, all negative, so hang fire on testing until it's been out over a full month. I got my first faint positive on the 15th so a month and a bit for me! A First response showed up positive too! X

I'll try not too. Just driving myself crazy wondering if they are early pregnancy symptoms or from having the coil removed 🙈

I had my coil out 12th Feb, started trying straight away and nothing yet, just come on my period today. Disappointed but not surprised.

@Ughmaybenot keep my fingers crossed for you that this is your month xx

Think my period has just started :( gutted

@BatmanBaby aw no really? On the plus side atleast if it is it, atleast you can start getting to know your cycle quickly, and youll know for sure the following month if you are late etc! Not to get your Hope's up but before I did my positive test I had the yucky brown stuff..so I too thought I was about to start my period!

@KrissyMB thank you. It's so hard isn't it! TMI, but it was some bright red blood when I went to the toilet in the morning, not had anything since though!

Guess I'll just have to wait and see. If it is, you're right, at least I know when to test from next month.

@BatmanBaby ah okay! Well I did read that It can sometimes be a good thing to have a period before conceiving after having the coil, so you're body is setting you up nicely...mine just decided to rush ahead 😂

Hi girls how are you all doing?

@abby25 how are you?! Haven’t heard from you in a while!

99.9% sure I ovulated today! Few days earlier than predicted, glad I've been doing the test strips or I might've missed it (although I did feel it happening but I'm so new to this) now we play the waiting game...
