Our first month ttc our first

[rosiej95]

As soon as AF disappears, which will be soon 🤞 me & my partner will be ttc :)
I've been keeping an eye on my cycles for a little while using the flo app & have been taking pregnacare.
Is there anything else we should know or do to help prepare ourselves? :)
Exited to go on this roller coaster of a journey & as no one knows of our plans would be lovely to hear off people ttc too :) xx

@elh06
:( our minds play tricks on us as well which also makes it even harder when Af does show up 💔
Hope your ok xx

Hi ladies how are you all?

CD 31 here and no sign of AF but also no idea when/if I ovulated so I'm sure she will arrive, hopefully not another 45 day cycle! Braving a swim for the first time since March today, need to get a bit fitter.

[elh06]

Thank you @beckyBP @rosiej95 I am good thank you - just makes you realise clearly how much you want something that you thought you were fairly relaxed over hey :) Everywhere I look people seem to be announcing pregnancies on my social media - not sure if there is more than normal or I’m just noticing it more perhaps?

Hello @maudesid I am well thanks how are you? Ah we seem to be opposite.. my cycles are super short!!

[rosiej95]

Hey 👋

All good here Thankyou
How are you doing? 😊
Ahh 🤞 it's not another 45 day for you!

I started back at the gym 3 weeks ago I'm only doing it once a week tho, that's enough 😂
it's so hard to get back into the swing of things isn't it. xx

[rosiej95]

@elh06
Good to hear your doing ok, I agree you definitely notice it more 🙈 xx

Hi everyone, hope it's okay for me to join! And hello @beckyBP, I think this is the third thread or something that we've both been on 🤣

We are on cycle 1 of TTC #1, CD15 (cycles since coming off contraception have been 27/28 days) and on day 6 of flashing smileys on Clearblue advanced digi OPK!! So either I'm getting close or just missed my peak 🙄 We have been DTD anyway so I'm covered if I did, I'd just like to see that static smiley!

I was already keen to TTC for a while before we started so I expected it, but it seems to be all I think about! So having this outlet is pretty helpful lol

[maudesid]

@elh06 you definitely become way more aware of pregnant women and babies, so sorry it didn't happen for you this month hope next month is lucky for you!
@somanystars welcome! I just don't get OPK's they seem to hate me, sounds like you should be covered anyway fingers crossed for you

Hi all,

This is also our first cycle of ttc.

Currently in the tww. Not overly positive as think we dtd too early before we got a peak reading on the CBD.

Good luck everyone

[rosiej95]

Hi all,

My app is telling my it's ovulation day tomorrow -weather that's right I don't know 🤷🏼‍♀️ But will be giving it a go anyway & have also been DTD in the run up to it too. 😊

How is everybody else doing? xx

[somanystars]

@rosiej95 I'm similarly confused about ov dates! Another flashing smiley this morning 😩 So who knows what's happening really! Just really want to know, if nothing else so that I can count days PO once I get into the TWW haha.

Hopefully this is our month regardless of ov confusion!!

Hi Ladies just joined and having a read through everyones comments. I had my implant removed Nov and have started TTC this month.
I've had quite a few symptoms like spotting, sensitive nipples, bubbling in my pelvic area back pains light cramping but so far showing as negatives (I should really learn to wait to test!) . Due tomorrow so will just see what happens my AF is normally like clockwork. Trying not to get too caught up with it and I'm convinced my body is just playing mind games!

I'm using the ovia app and tracking my temp and also checking my CF. Gosh it's all so complex my head is fried 😐

[rosiej95]

@somanystars
Spent 8 years of my life dreading AF & skipping it & then I've been off the pill for 2 years jotting down every time AF has shown up and gone & I'm still not 100% on everything. Would be so much easier if it was the same day every month 😂 Would save loads of confusion.
I've told myself im going to just see how it goes for the first couple of months & then start using the sticks.

@ClaraGill
Thing is tho when your mind is constantly thinking about symptoms can imagine it's so hard to wait to test 🙈
🤞 for you!


It's so very complex I was trying to explain it to my BF the other day & his face said it all 😂 xx

[ClaraGill]

@rosiej95 oh completely it's total head games! I'm trying to convince myself it's just symptoms I get every month and I'm just noticing them now due to the fact I'm keeping a close eye. Will just have to see i suppose.

Yeah my fiance is the same but he's been reading up on things so he's getting his head around it all too. Every morning he's asking how my temperature is doing bless 😂

[beckyBP]

Hey ladies, hope everyone's had a good weekend.

So I believe I peaked this morning.. does this mean I ovulate tomorrow (if so, I was way off last month 😂)

[rosiej95]

@ClaraGill that's so nice he's doing that! 🥰

@beckyBP
I don't know to much about them 🙈
But from what I have read little bits about I would agree with you that today would be your day 😜
How exiting!
everyday is a learning day atm 😂 xx

[beckyBP]

@rosiej95 it's an absolute mind field isn't it!!

@ClaraGill 'my fiancé is like that too! It's so cute isn't it. We'd planned to wait until after the wedding to try but covid ruined that haha. One day he came home from work and I just bombarded him with 'let's TTC now!' Bless him. It took hjm like 2 weeks to come around to the idea but he's so onboard and so into it I love it xx

[ClaraGill]

@beckyBP it was actually him that had to talk me around 😂🙊

We've been engaged for 8 years now and I'm nearly 38 to decided we need to do it in a slightly different order!

[beckyBP]

@ClaraGill how lovely! It doesn't matter what order anyway does it! Xx

[ClaraGill]

Nah not at all! We've been together for 15yrs so it makes no difference 😊

[beckyBP]

@ClaraGill exactly! We're 12 years down. Xx

[maudesid]

CD 35 here! My app is telling me I ovulated CD 33 after first telling me I had on CD 19 so what on earth is going on I don't know still no AF

[rosiej95]

@maudesid hopefully your not waiting to long for answers?
When are you able to test? xx

[maudesid]

@rosiej95 I think if it was CD 19 then I could test in the next day or so but if CD 33 we probably missed it. Think I will give AF another week and then test. Can't believe how complicated it all is, I do kind of wish I hadn't been on the pill for so long and not sure how much my endometriosis is messing with it.

[rosiej95]

@maudesid don't beat yourself up lovely
It's hard because we spent most of our time growing up avoiding pregnancy & the pill is a great way to do so.

Have you spoke to the docs about your endometriosis?


I'm having to go for a blood test because I fainted.
I'm pretty sure It's way to early to even think if this month of trying has worked so I'm not putting it down to that but they're wanting to check to make sure I'm not low on iron or anything
I thought the pregnacare vitamins have all that in tho? 🤔 xxx

[rosiej95]

I feel like I'm going crazy with all this 2ww & symptom spotting
How's everyone else getting on? :) xx
