Anyone else first month ttc?

[Grace185]

Hi guys.

I’m new here, I’m 29 (30 in May) and my boyfriend is the same. We had decided to start ttc in June time 2021 but over Christmas we both decided to ‘roll the dice’ once before and started having unprotected sex this month. I came off the pill in October time as I didn’t get on with it AT ALL.

I use Clue but only had two afs before this cycle so not sure how long my cycle actually is. We dtd most days over when the app said I was most fertile and it aligned with the cm too. I’m dry not (tmi) so I assume I’m passed it now!

With a 30 day cycle I had last month I’m due af on the 22nd but with and 35 day one (which I used to have before the pill I’d be ov around today but cm isn’t having that, well dtd anyway just in case. Then wouldn’t except af until the 27th. I’m willing it not to arrive and have decided to not even contemplate a test until the end of the month if af hasn’t arrived.

Just wondered who else is trying and in the first few months? I can’t help but reading everything I can find about early signs and feel like when we start trying properly in the few months I might go crazy!!

How are you finding it?

@everysunrise hi!

So the same happened to be last month and it was my period. I don't mean to be Debbie Downer but just letting you know my experience. Implantation usually is day 6-12 but more commonly 6-10. The brown colour would indicate old blood that didn't come out last month.

I could be wrong! Everyone's body is different and if you ovulated later it could well be implantation. Nothing is confirmed til AF shows/doesn't show.

@Rmd123 Hey! Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
Was it normal for you to get this kind of spotting before AF? As I have never had anything like this, I usually have a fl flow straight away so this seems very out of the ordinary for me!
