First month TTC

[Pixiedust018]

Hi ladies,

I’m new to this and would really appreciate your help. This is my first month TTC. I’m currently on CD4 so still middle of my period. Just wondering what helped you all conceive in your first month of trying and any tips you have. I have clearblue OPK ready and have been tracking my cycles for a which vary from 27-34 day cycles with 2 random 45 day cycles one of them being my last cycle.

Anyone else TTC this month?

Thanks in advance x

Definitely there @JoannaRose! Congrats!!! What a day to find out

@JoannaRose congratulations! That’s one positive pregnancy test 🥳❤️

@LiGigi @Chels139 @BubblesNSnuggles Thank you so much ladies! I am in a state where I am nervous to get too excited in case it doesn’t work out but I also want to be excited! Very sadly I lost my dear nan yesterday who I was so so close to and she really wanted me and DH to have kids. She has been deteriorating a couple of weeks and i so wanted her to be around for me to tell her whenever it happened but sadly I lost her yesterday eve, a few hours later I got my first line on a test 😭 it’s been/still is such an emotional rollercoaster....sadly she won’t get to meet our children but this is helping me get through the grieving easier because it is exciting and good. Sorry for the essay just emotions all over the place. I really do hope this is a sticky bean xxxx

Wow congrats @JoannaRose !!! How many DPO are you?

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that @JoannaRose. I can imagine such a rollercoaster, hope you're okay! Xx

@Chels139 thank you sweet it has been such a rollercoaster I am feeling desperately sad about Nan and desperately happy about little bean all at the same time!!
@Rmd123 thank you! 😊 if my Flo app was correct then yesterday when I got my BFP I was 9DPO but I am wondering if I ovulated earlier as I also took a CB digi yesterday and got a BFP so it seems very early for that...unless perhaps....twins?! 😬 twins run on both sides of our family so it could happen!!

Sprinkling baby dust and hoping for more BFPs here soon! Xxxxxxxx

Ahhh congratulations @JoannaRose!! Sorry to hear about your Nan 😢

Has the reality of the BFP sunk in yet? I think I'd be in shock with a positive at 9DPO! Did you feel any different or were you testing anyway?

Does this bring the total count of BFPs in this group to 4 now?

Thank you @FieldView I worked it out wrong so just checked and I was 10 DPO, today I am 12 DPO and took a FRER to check line progression and it is darker so I am happy for now although still worrying like mad, but trying to relax!
I was testing anyway but I was getting BFNs, so I was prepared to be out this month but my boobs just started feeling so sore which I don’t get, and I had AF like cramps and implantation spotting. I’m not even due on my AF until 19th so still early days I’m soo hoping for little bean to stay put! But yeah I did feel different xx

@JoannaRose congratulations!! Lovely to see some more BFP’s on the thread.

I’m 11dpo today. I was going to test today but obviously now it won’t be the first wee of the day, does anyone know how much this matters?
I don’t want to waste a test if it really should be in the morning. Should I just wait until tomorrow ?

Hi Girls!

It's so lovely to see BFPs 🥰 I have had my BFP today🙈

Checked it three times because I couldn't believe it!

@JoannaRose so sorry to hear about your nan I hope everything runs smoothly for you these next few weeks. X

@Dixie1488 CONGRATS!! So happy for you! ✨🎉

Girls I'm in a bit of a predicament.

I've been sent an invite to book my COVID vaccine (I double checked with my GP and it's not a scam).

From what I understand I will need to stop TTC between the first and second jab. However does anyone know if you can then start TTC straight away after the second jab?

I may post this in a few other TTC threads too as there must be others in the same boat 🤔

Congratulations @Dixie1488!! Such fantastic news!!! So wonderful to have another BFP on the thread :) it's been a great month so far!

@Dixie1488 congratulations!! That’s amazing news!

Hi girls!

Please can I join? I’m 39 and a mum to three 12, 10 and 7. I have a new partner and we want a baby together. I’m nervous as all mine were c sections so scared of a fourth section. This is my first cycle trying to conceive. I’m on day 3. I got pregnant the first month trying every time with my three but who knows what will happen now I’m older and a new man. He has a Dd 7 from his previous relationship. So excited for all your BFP’s! X

Thankyou girls, I'm so happy 😊 Plus nervous! It's very early days!

@greenfrogs1 My GP told me you don't have to wait to TTC after the first jab, it's personal choice. He told me that if I were to fall pregnant between first and second just don't have the second jab. Now I am pregnant I will not be having it but I planned to have it whilst TTC.

He said the initial NHS guidance was not to TTC after having the vaccine but this has now changed.

Hope this helps 😊

Congratulations @JoannaRose and @Dixie1488 I'm so happy for you both.

Hoping to see some more BFP soon in this group. I keep wanting to test again to make sure its still there and its real. Such a strange feeling.

Thank you @Dixie1488 that's useful to know!

So how are you feeling? Did you have many symptoms and what DPO did you test? Hoping it all goes smoothly for you ☺️xx

Welcome @Hopetobeamumof4 ! Fingers crossed you manage to conceive quickly again ☺️ x

Hi all, hope your all ok..

I'm just wondering if anyone's experienced the below..

I've had EWCM since Monday evening, been doing OPKs and not had a peak or even a high, and this morning my temp spiked

Xx

@greenfrogs1

Welcome *@Hopetobeamumof4* ! Fingers crossed you manage to conceive quickly again ☺️ x

Thanks so much. This seems such a lovely group and lots of good news too! I did wonder about the vaccine and what the protocol was, good to know we can go ahead and ttc x

I’m 13dpo today , no BFP and no AF.
I had the tiniest bit of spotting (pinky colour) yesterday and the day before. Nothing since.
What do people think? I’m thinking I’m out but still hanging onto a tiny bit of hope.

Ooh I hope you're still in with a shout @Eaststreet!

14DPO for me today and AF has arrived right on time.

Baby dust to everyone still in the game this month! ✨
