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

@beckyBP
Hey,
apps saying ovulation is In 3 days 🎉 I'm off work still, so managing to get dtd in lots 😂😍

How are you doing? :)

[meganlea]

@beckyBP hey chick! Sorry for the late reply

Had the past week from HELL. Not coping well at all atm with pregnancy. Going from my Ov day I'm about 6 weeks today but midwife has me down as 7+2 from the date of my last period.

Nausea kicked in and has been quite severe lasting majority of the day and night, been sick once because I made the mistake of trying to brush my tongue yesterday morning! Not been able to eat anything because everything seems repulsive, because of this I've been so hungry, then my anxiety hit me like a brick wall and have been non stop sobbing, stomach doing flips with worry, barely able to breathe at times from panicking sometimes, like this is real now I'm actually doing this. So no sleep either. Even though I want this baby so much, my anxiety is taking over.

Today I'm feeling a tad better though, I managed to get a full nights sleep last night. I'm also on a waiting list for CBT therapy and I started private hypnotherapy sessions yesterday, really pricey but I will try ANYTHING to rid this anxiety so I can go back to being my normal excited self. I'm eating a bit better now too, just really bland stuff but I'm able to fill up a bit to stop the hunger pains and allow myself to sleep. Deleted all my pregnancy apps and removed myself from all the pregnancy groups. Living in denial a bit at the moment until I can get my anxiety under control, just taking it one step at a time. Honestly I thought once that BFP came I'd be over the moon, and I was until the real symptoms started and a whole new load of worries came on top of that.

But I'm okay for now which is the main thing!

How have you been coping, are you doing okay?

Hope everyone else is doing okay! How have you found preseed @rosiej95 today should be O day shouldn't it? Are you tracking/temping at all this cycle?

@Amy259 Hope you're doing alright? has AF pissed off now so you can concentrate on this new cycle?

xx

[rosiej95]

@meganlea sounds like you've had a rough time :(
I hope the sickness passes soon for you

We focus so much on ttc & don't think about after the bfp. I really hope your ok tho ❤️

Haven't used it this month yet tbh. But have managed to dtd at least every 2 days since af disappeared, I've kinda just gone with the flow 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm hoping tho dtd every 2 days I'll have caught it 🤞🏻

[beckyBP]

@meganlea so sorry you're struggling hun!! I hope you're taking it easy.

I'm ok. Getting super nauseous in the mornings and off my food but other than that fine. It is stressful though isn't it. Think my hormones are a bit all over the shop.

How are you doing @rosiej95 sounds like you've done a good job DTD!! If you don't want to insert try putting it on him. That's all we did!

How are you @Amy259

How is everyone else? Xx

[meganlea]

@rosiej95 @beckyBP thank you lovelies! And definitely, all the focus is on getting the positive test and I don't think we really think about what our bodies are about to go through after that (I didn't anyway!) lol.

I've been taking it easy though thank you girls I haven't been upset since Sunday night so I'm taking that as a win so far and managing to keep a steady head!

Hope you're both okay!! xx

Hi ladies!

Sorry for being so shit - my new job has been manic and we’ve been nursing our wee cat (who we said bye to last night 😢).

I’m on CD9 of this cycle. Got fed up with it all when af arrived this month so I called my gp and booked a phone consult. She called me today for a chat and couldn’t have been more amazing. Booked me in for bloods, is doing paperwork for DH to collect to do his sample, and will refer us based on results. We’re going into month 8 and she said with waiting times it’ll be near the year anyway and the worst that can happen is the clinic make us wait until the 12 months mark but everything will be sitting good to go. She had so much time for the fact I’d been tracking etc, which I thought she would’ve brushed off but she loved it!

@rosiej95 how’s the wait treating you?!

@meganlea so sorry to hear you’ve been having such a rotten time. The whole thing is such a worry, I’m glad you’ve managed to start hypnotherapy and that you’re feeling a bit more steady with it all♥️ I feel a bit useless with words of wisdom now, I’ve no experience of this part!!

@beckyBP how are you getting on with your new job? And how are you feeling about telling them, are you holding off until your first scan or are you in a role that means you’ll have to tell earlier?

Sending love and good vibes to you all! Xxx

[rosiej95]

@Amy259 I'm so sorry to hear about your cat 💔 it's so heartbreaking loosing a fur baby.

She sounds so good! & Sounds reassuring & is amazing that like you say worst case they make you wait everything is good to go.


So... with my shopping last week first response have a offer on so I brought 4 pregnancy tests 🙄
This week they have it on offer again so I brought a couple more 😂🙊
Wasn't until I put them away that I've realised there the rapid results one and not an early one 🤦🏼‍♀️
But anyway something crazy inside of me thought.. imma go test 😂 according to my app I'm 3dpo... impossible right 😂
Well.... there is a faint line & allthough its faint I can see it. Can't seem to get a picture of it tho & trust me I've tried 😂
I've shone my torch light on the back of it (as you do 😂🙈) and you can deffo see a line.
Maybe I've ovulated earlier then my apps saying or maybe it's a dodgy test? More then likely a dodgy test I recon but going to leave it a few days and test again. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Amy259]

@rosiej95 thank you. Yeah it’s so, so hard 💔 I’m lucky in that I work in the field so my friend (who is a vet, not just random haha) came round last night and she got to just fall asleep in her bed. It was as lovely as it could be!

Ohh that’s interesting!! What cycle day are you on? Do the maths allow for ov a week or so earlier than your apps say?

I fell out with FRER after this “faint line” - it was pink and everything but I definitely wasn’t pregnant. Apparently it’s crazy common with them. Not sure if you can see it but I’ll attach the photo anyway. I’m tempted every cycle to buy them but hate the false hope! Fingers crossed it’s not the case for you but could explain it if you’re apps are right and you’re only 3dpo? Here’s hoping you ov early and it gets darker tomorrow though!! 🤞🏻

[rosiej95]

@Amy259

I'm CD20 today. I'm not sure in regards to the maths allowed?? I will be honest I didn't know what ovulation was until we started ttc 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

That is so cruel! I found I had a few faint lines with CB previous months. Ye I'm not getting my hopes up tbf I think it's just a dodge one cause I can't even get a photo of it & it's a lot fainter then your photo
I was even saying to myself what a waste of a test as I was doing it 😂🙈 why do we do it to ourselves 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

[rosiej95]

How's everyone getting on? 😀

I'm cd20 today & first month using the clear blue opk's. I'm in the 2ww 6 or 7 dpo
Today. Hoping the rest of this 2ww goes quick 🤞🏻

[meganlea]

Hey @rosiej95, hope the tww went super quick! How are you doing??

I saw your message when you first posted and feel like I shouldn’t be posting on this group anymore so I didn’t respond but no one else is responding so here I am!!

Just checking in - hope everyone is ok??

Also this thread has almost reached 1,000 msgs which means it’ll be closed soon nooo! You’ll have to make a new one :)


Sending love xx
