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

TTC is an absolute rollercoaster and mainly a guessing game 🙈 if you try tomorrow and there’s a line again then I’d be feeling positive. Remember it takes hcg 48 hours to double so might not be any darker.
I can definitely see a line there though - keep us updated and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!

@BubblesNSnuggles I just know I don’t have the patience to wait 48 hours! I don’t know how I’m going to think of anything else you’re support means the world to me, thank you for looking and responding ❤️ How is everybody else getting on, and where is everyone on their cycle?

@Dungareesandfreckles test first thing Saturday and see if there’s a change, let us know how you get on. I’m only 3dpo going to try and wait to 14DPO this cycle

@2020newbie I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! Great patience, I wish I had waited until 14DPO so I wasn’t guessing squinters! X

Hi there! New to this thread but have spent the last hour scrolling through and getting excited at the BF announcements.

I came off the Cerelle pill at end of December, have had 2 cycles with 3rd AF due this Sunday. We are TTC for first time this month and I've used the CB ovulation tests. We tried when I was low, high, peak and just after too 🤞. Have had all the symptoms of terrible cramps for over a week now, exhaustion and on and off sensitive boobs. Took a cheapy test today and BFN. Feeling disappointed but there's always next month! Think I'll test again on Sunday/Monday just incase 🤞. The pain has been unreal at times so who knows what it is if it's not implantation ☹️ xx

FMU attached! Personally, I still see a line, but no colour yet! 👀 @BubblesNSnuggles@2020newbie

@LilyRose202 how many dpo were you? I tested at 11dpo and got a negative and it wasn’t until 13dpo I got my positive.

@Dungareesandfreckles definitely a line again - hopefully tomorrow you’ll see darker line! Looking positive though 😆

@BubblesNSnuggles I believe I was 11dpo yesterday too. There wasn't a faint line or anything even though I tried to imagine it was there. 🤣. Okay I'll wait til 14 dpo at least til I get again. AF is due on that day. Had no spotting and the terrible cramps have almost gone now so trying not to hold my breath. Will keep you all updated. Xx

@BubblesNSnuggles thank you! I need to get myself out of the house and stop obsessing now!

@LilyRose202 good luck with your test, let us know how it goes, fingers crossed for BFP! ❤️

@Dungareesandfreckles definitely see a line

Hello,

First time posting! So very new to the abbreviations!

I'm in CD2 of my 3rd cycle TTC. This period came 5 days early and is soo intense mentally, have been having palpitations and feel feel very panicy. Has anyone else experienced this when TTC? I have a mamogram booked on Monday, so a part of me feels it's a blessing that it came early, as I wouldn't have want to have felt like I did yesterday during my scan, I don't think I would have coped!

Anywho, just wanted to say hello, and am looking forward to following your journeys

Hi @amberdem

My personal experience of TTC is a constant low level anxiety, which I’m sure is also made worse by lockdown. I just wanted to mention as I’ve found the whole process so much more stressful than I though - and I’m usually quite a relaxed person.

I hope your appointment goes well, and hope your palpitations don’t continue!

And hello!

Has anyone else used this test? I just picked one up and I think this is a BFP?!

@Dungareesandfreckles after reading through the other messages I dug our the test I did last week (bin diving, lovely) which I thought was a BFN but actually has a super faint line too.

So now I'm thinking I'm either MC or it's implantation bleeding or I'm seeing things.

I say, how am I supposed to get any work done with all this drama! Have bought another test to do in the morning. How are you feeling?

@amberdem that’s a good sign! Let me know how it goes?

I’ve got one at the ready tomorrow. But the line in the second has made me so excited I’ve had to take the afternoon off work, I can’t concentrate haha!

@amberdem ps I’m feeling fine, no symptoms really. Just anxiety!

@Dungareesandfreckles that’s a definite positive! Congratulations 🥳😆❤️

@amberdem keeping everything crossed for you! Keep in mind that after the read time (usually 3-5 minutes) tests often give false positives due to evap lines. I’d definitely retest to know for sure.

Thanks @BubblesNSnuggles that's good to know!

@Dungareesandfreckles congratulations 🥳 definitely a BFP

I really hope I’m joining you in the December baby club 😂🤞🏻

@2020newbie I have everything crossed for you. Please let me know how you get on testing! ❤️ My eyes are here to help you with any squinters! X

@Dungareesandfreckles Thank you. I will keep you all posted. I hear congratulations are in order for yourself! Yay! 🎉😁. Really pleased for you!

For anyone who has had a BFP, do you always get implantation bleeding and if so, when? Can you still be pregnant and not have had any bleeding? Xx

@LilyRose202 my first pregnancy I had a small amount of implantation bleeding but unfortunately miscarried at six weeks.
Second pregnancy had no implantation bleeding and resulted in my now two year old son. Third pregnancy (this one) had no implantation bleeding And I’ll be 12 weeks on Monday.
So to answer your question, definitely can still be pregnant without any implantation bleeding! 😊

Thanks @LilyRose202!

If helps, I’ve not had any bleeding yet. Hoping it stays that waty! ❤️

@BubblesNSnuggles and @Dungareesandfreckles Thanks ladies! And sorry to hear about the MC. I fell pregnant accidentally a few years ago but MC. Hate how you can conceive when you're not planning it though 🙈😅. Typical!
I'm trying to think of what to do this weekend to keep me very much occupied and take my mind off everything babies. I feel this whole thing is making me obsessed and anxious and I'm only 12 days in! 😅xx

Hey all!
So AF arrived and I took a test just incase anyway as it was more dry and spotting at first. BFN! I thought I would be devastated but I think you can only be disappointed once in the same time frame and I'm now over Thursday's test. Onwards and upwards for next month! 😊. Good luck everyone else! 🤞 Xx
