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

@meganlea ah thanks doll. it didn't work for me! England only! I'll work it out later.

@heybabes thanks hun! Sending you lots of positive vibes! You've got this 💪🏽

[rosiej95]

this is just the best news ever guys!
Congratulations to you both! 😍😍
There lovely strong lines!

AF is causing me havoc right now. She needs to hurry up and disappear because I'm so exited to get cracking this month 😂 you guys have given me some right motivation with your bfp! 😍
I think I'm going to give it this one month of going with the flow. Then if it still doesn't happen I will be getting some ovulation sticks.

[beckyBP]

Thanks @rosiej95 it doesn't feel real and I feel super anxious but hopefully that'll go!

Oh Noo! How long until AF finishes? Yes!! Brilliant attitude. Looking forward to lots more BFPs!

I haven't tracked ov for a few months but I think it was preseed that did it for us! Xx

[meganlea]

Thank you @heybabes and @rosiej95!!

I second that @beckyBP was my first cycle using preseed! Xx

[rosiej95]

@beckyBP @meganlea
Ooo well that's me sold on it ha I've just ordered some 😂

AF was a couple of days late (very cruel of her) so I'm day 3 she usually sticks around for a week so hopefully she'll go soon 🤞🏻

It's my birthday at the beginning of feb so hopefully I'll get a nice little birthday present 😂😍

@beckyBP Congratulations!

I'm 11/12dpo today and yesterday I thought I saw a vvfl on an IC so I bought a clearblue early detection test to see if I just had line eyes
But today I got my BFP!

[beckyBP]

@rosiej95 I honestly think that's what did it for us and also, I didn't put it inside.. we put it on him. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Katelyn99 yaaaaay! Congratulations doll 🥳🥳🥳 how do you feel? X

[Amy259]

Ahhh @Katelyn99 congratulations! This is a great thread this month!!

@beckyBP @meganlea how are you pair doing? Xxx

[meganlea]

@Katelyn99 omg congratulations!! I can see that line from a mile off! How are you feeling?

[meganlea]

@rosiej95 @beckyBP I put it in me, but only a small amount, no more than 1g as it looked like too much lol.

@Amy259 I'm okay thank you, joined a lot of FB support groups so I don't feel alone and that's helping massively. Still not really any proper symptoms at all! Boobs still feel pre AF, frequently urinating but I'm drinking more water now and that's it really. I should be around 16/17DPO right now and nothing ...I'm grateful but worried too.

How are you doing, you'll be around 8DPO now won't you? Bet the weekend can't come quick enough just so you know what's what! xx

A link to a small FB group I found the other day, 112 members atm mostly UK lot, with September 2021 due dates if you want to join, I've found it's a lovely little supportive group so far. xx

Congrats @Katelyn99 - so nice to see all these pregnancies coming through. Encouraging for a newbie joining this thread 😊

I’m on CD6 so getting into the full swing of my second cycle. Going all out this time - temping every morning when I wake up, taking Evening Primrose Oil & Starflower oil to increase CM, SO is also taking Wellman conception vitamins and I said to myself I’d wait until after this cycle to start, but I caved so I’ve also taken Soy Isoflavones. I’ve heard a lot of success stories for these and I’ve only had 2 cycles under 35 days (with no diagnosed problems like PCOS or anything) for the last 2 years so hoping these will help 😊

[Katelyn99]

@beckyBP @Amy259 @meganlea I can't quite believe it yet but I'm absolutely over the moon and feeling so lucky!

Thank you @meganlea for the link 😊

[Katelyn99]

Thank you @heybabes, sending lots of baby dust your way!

[Amy259]

@heybabes it could be complete coincidence but I’ve had 33-35 day cycles all my life (well at least since 14 anyway!) and have been tracking etc since July last year, tried a fair few supplements etc. Then two months ago I added omega 3 to my supplements - not even just for ttc, I’m veggie and figured I’d be deficient which isn’t good in general but also for ttc. Aaaanyway, those two cycles I’ve ovulated 5/6 days earlier, on day 14/15, meaning my cycle last month was 6 days shorter and this month should be the same. Just thought I’d mention, it could be totally unrelated but it’s all I’ve changed.

@meganlea I’m sure that’s totally normal, they say it’s around 6 weeks it all hits you so try not to stress too much. Glad you’ve found that group though, what a great help!

Yeah 8dpo, well remembered! Zero symptoms, not even pre-af symptoms yet - normally by now I’m starting to get super bloated and my boobs slightly tender, but that could arrive any day now. Also have two small chin spots which is really unlike me, but could be unrelated - quite a stressy time just now. I’m weirdly not feeling that crazy about it yet... like I was saying, this cycle I feel oddly accepting of the fact I won’t be pregnant. Don’t even have tests in the house! Which is unheard of, normally I’d start testing at 8/9dpo 😂

[meganlea]

@Amy259 What a good approach though to be feeling completely zen about it all at this stage. So you should though, you've done everything you needed to do it's just such an inconvenience this waiting around malarkey. The no symptoms is always a good sign I've heard that from so many people. Only time will tell!! (I'm so sick of hearing that saying but it's so true)

[heybabes]

@Amy259 oooh interesting! Did you take it every day or just up until ovulation? I’d be interested in adding it anyway as I don’t eat fish so miss a lot of fatty acids etc.

[Amy259]

@heybabes every day ☺️ I should’ve been taking them anyway really, whether or not we were ttc, I didn’t even consider they’d affect my cycle never mind in a good way!

[Amy259]

@meganlea I’m sure next cycle I’ll be back to stressing 😂 but yeah I guess at 8dpo what can you do?! And I’m in week 2 of a new job, and our cat is very poorly so off to vet hospital today, so there’s a lot going on to keep me distracted I suppose!

[meganlea]

@Amy259 Awww no hope your cat is okay!!

[rosiej95]

@beckyBP @meganlea will test it out both ways 😂😂
Thankyou for the advice!

@Katelyn99 congratulations! 😍

Loving the thread this month!

@Amy259 hope your cat is ok ❤️

[beckyBP]

@Amy259 I'm good thanks doll. Still doesn't feel real tbh. Just got sore boobs!

Glad to hear you're super calm! Keep us up to date. How are you finding your new job? I'm so nervous to tell my boss with it being such a new job.

Sorry to hear about your cat. Hope he/she is ok!


@meganlea thanks doll! That's actually so lovely, I might join!

@heybabes you've got this!! 👏🏽👏🏽 get yourself some preseed too!

@rosiej95 let us know how you get on girl 🥰

[meganlea]

Morning @Amy259 how're you getting on? Hope your cat is doing better too!! x

[Amy259]

Morning @meganlea!

All okay here, 12/13dpo today. Thought I saw a faint line on a CB Saturday then again yesterday but both super super faint so probably evaps (not any darker yest than sat) and a little temp drop today and definite pre-AF symptoms so expecting temp to plummet then AF tomorrow.

Thank you - waiting to hear back from specialists about the plan but it’s a nasty tumour on her neck (very near her jugular) so not a great prognosis sadly. Wee soul.

How are you feeling?? Xxx

[meganlea]

Those tests are horrible for showing lines that aren't there you're constantly second guessing your eye sight! That's so sh!t I hope it's just tricking you and your temp goes back up tomorrow :( !!

Aww no way, poor little mite, so sorry to hear that. I hope they have a positive solution when they get in touch. Fingers crossed. Thinking of you!!

I'm feeling exactly the same as last week to be honest no change here, if it weren't for the tests I wouldn't believe it was happening. Just been getting out and about for some fresh air at the weekend now the snow has cleared up. Just want lockdown to be over with now getting fed up. xxx

[beckyBP]

Hey dolls, how is everyone doing?? Hope everyone's good! Xx
