First time TTC, age 26, looking for some friends!

[kayl7]

Hello lovely people,

A little bit of background; I’m 26 years old and have been with my husband since we were 17 (we met back at school!). We’ll have been married for four years this August. We bought our first home last April and have been renovating for the past year.

We recently found out that my dad (age 56) has stage four brain cancer and likely only has about a year to live. We have always wanted to have children, and I’ve always wanted to be a relatively young mum... Finding out dad’s prognosis made us want to increase the chance that he can meet his first grandchild. It’s going to be a tough time ahead, but our heads and hearts told us it’s time to start trying.

I’ve not been on the pill for a couple of years so we’ve just used barrier contraception, and I’ve been using clear blue sticks fertility for the past four days; no smiley face yet!

At this point I’m just really looking to meet some friendly people going through a similar journey. None of my friends are at this stage of life yet!

Thanks so much,
Kay x

I was pretty regular at 28days before MC, pretty much every Sunday afternoon she'd show her face. First one post MC was 31 but hoping to be back to 28 for more chances 👌🏾

I'm guessing I'll ovulate around the 3rd May and then AF due on the 17th test on the 20th hopefully 🙏 so we will be ovulating around the same time but I might just have a longer TWW x

I’m due to ovulate on 2nd May and AF due around 14/15th. Let’s hope this is finally out month 🤞🏻

Can I jump on board? I'm due to ovulate the 2nd May as well on CD2, averaging roughly 28 day cycles after stopping the pill in dec. I've got some cheapie OPKs to try this month to exactly pinpoint ovulation. Considering buying preseed, anyone used this before?

Hey everyone, I will definitely be following this thread as my fiance and I have finally decided for me to come off of the pill and start trying. Obviously we are realistic and realise it could take months or even years. Good luck to everyone trying!
1izzie our situations are very similar, our wedding is 8th August but not sure if it will go ahead x

@LottieX hiya, we bought preseed after my last fertile period so only tried it out for fun, but have also now bought concieve plus lube as i read really good reviews about it. Can't hurt to try 👌🏾 and I'm CD2 aswell with a 28day cycle so we will be cycle buddies x

@Serz88 good luck with your first month x

Hi, can I jump in too please? TTC for 8 months now, had implant out after 12 years in September and my cycles are all over the place and long (33-44).
I'm getting a bit despondent and none of my friends have struggled with awkward cycles and BFNs so a bit of support on here would be great! Fingers crossed for us all x

So typical. First month TTC following the ovulation apps the 2 prime days for conception I have been unable to have sex due to a horrendous wisdom tooth.

@Serz88 very similar! We've made the decision to postpone now :( but we're thinking of still getting married on that day and surprising it close family and then have it again next year!
