Hi ladies

I'm 23 and my partner (27) and I are TTC baby #1!

It was our first month trying this month and AF is due 2nd/3rd of March, so far just BFN! My cycle is roughly 26/27 days! But didn't expect to get pregnant first cycle so I'm feeling ok 👌🏼

Anyone else TTC baby no 1 with a similar cycle? 🥰 xx

@Timetobeamummy how is yours looking hun? Where are you at on it percentage wise? If you haven't held your wee long then it won't change too much! I've held mine a lot today! Ovulation cramps is always a good sign! Listen to your body 🙌🏼🙌🏼

58% this morning so hoping tomorrow will be higher, it’s on the horizon i feel unless my body is just doing odd things and playing mind games. You seem to be about to hit your peak? Tomorrow likely to be your OD day?

Genevive123 · 14/03/2021 22:34

@Timetobeamummy have you done one since lovely?? Might be worth doing one in the morning and one in the evening? My peak usually tends to be later in the day!!

I would have thought so ! I've got some ovulation cramps on my left side this month so defo coming xx

@Genevive123 it's exciting isn't it! It's meant to be the 27th according to the flo app which is good as my partner is off work haha dreading another 2ww though

@Timetobeamummy I'm the same definitely felt a bit more relaxed the last few days but I'm excited to start over again. Really just hoping this could be my month and all of our for that matter. I do think I will feel more let down this cycle if it doesn't happen but here's hoping

Genevive123 · 15/03/2021 06:27

Morning ladies! Peak much stronger this morning 🙌🏼🙌🏼

How are you all doing??

@Genevive123 looking like a good strong peak!! 😃
I’m supposed to be due on by next Friday so I guess I will know by next weekend if this is the cycle! Next cycle does look much better for me timing wise 🤞🏼 X

Genevive123 · 15/03/2021 07:31

@Kty09 Yay! ❤️

Ooh I hope it works out better for you next cycle!! AF is now due for me on the 29/03 so a while!! 😂 dreading this peak disappearing and being in the TWW!! X

Timetobeamummy · 15/03/2021 08:09

@Genevive123 getting there, have a feeling I might end up with a longer cycle this month. It’s at 64% this morning OD has now shifted to Wednesday on the app so we will see.

That’s a great peak! Yay 😁

Genevive123 · 15/03/2021 08:39

@Timetobeamummy ooh at least it is rising !! Even if you ovulate a few days later it's still classed as a regular cycle so I wouldn't worry too much!!

Yes thanks lovely really chuffed it's gone up! Think I might have peaked fully over night as seems to be going down now ! X

@Timetobeamummy thank you 🥰 oh it’s so hard not to read into it. I think me stressing is what cause me to be late. I need to try and just view it as it will happen when it’s meant to. I’m just very impatient 😂. Fingers crossed for us! This is my third cycle and due in 4 days. X

Genevive123 · 15/03/2021 16:40

Thought my LH was going down but apparently not! OPK's still getting stronger at the moment!! More BD'ing it is !!

Genevive123 · 15/03/2021 18:02

@Kty09 haha he was actually a nightmare last night I tried to lock him out and he just howls! If I don't get pregnant this month im blaming the dog 😂😂

Hi all, I have been out of the loop for a few days! Welcome to the new ladies Smile I'm 4DPO now, so just a waiting game for me. First time I feel properly in the game, as last month it was anyones guess what was going on due to coming off the pill mid Jan. How's everyone feeling.

@genevive123, looks a good strong peak Smile

@marshmallow190 and @kty09 when do you plan to test? Xx

Genevive123 · 15/03/2021 18:37

@Neom87 Thank you!! Just have a gut feeling that it's not going to be my month this month! Ooh 4dpo - when is AF due for you?

Im feeling ok but not going to lie I found yesterday hard, saw loads of pregnancy announcements yesterday and even though we've only just started trying it still makes you feel a bit rubbish! Didn't think it would affect me!!

How are you?

OP posts:
Kty09 · 15/03/2021 18:56

@Neom87 I am 3DPO now apparently - bit unexpected because I got a positive OPK on CD9 which I didn’t expect. How are you doing?
I am only going to test if AF doesn’t arrive and I am late - takes a lot of will power!
@Genevive123 it’s funny how you get that feeling , I have a good feeling for next month 🤞🏼 And I have seen so many announcements too- it makes me want it more!

Genevive123 · 15/03/2021 19:05

@Kty09 yes it's weird isn't it !! I have a good feeling about next month too, our cycles are pretty close together too so we could be having them at the same time! I got a tarot reading which said pretty much that I would conceive on a cycle that begins in March and another said I would get a positive test in April! So my next cycle would fall into that category haha maybe that's why I feel positive about next cycle! Not sure I even believe them?! lol

OP posts:
lisamxxx · 15/03/2021 19:11

@Neom87 fingers crossed for you this month! As much as I'm impatient during the 2ww I like being able to try and symptom spot keeps me occupied! 😂 I'm just finished af so feeling a bit meh and impatient this week as I'm not meant to ovulate until the end of next week but I suppose there's no harm in still trying

@Genevive123 that looks a good strong peak! And I know what you mean, every time I see an announcement on Facebook I just wish it was my turn but hopefully soon

@taytay2020 I remember you said you started af on the same day as me, how are you feeling now it's over? I feel so impatient right now just want to get on to the second half of the cycle

Kty09 · 15/03/2021 19:15

@Genevive123 I have a couple of friends who swear by stuff like that and they have been bang on with pregnancies etc! I guess only time will tell! The only downside to this is all the waiting to find out 🙈 that BFP will deffo be worth it though! 😍

Genevive123 · 15/03/2021 19:16

@lisamxxx thanks hun I'm glad it's strong! I've had two good months of peaks and last month didn't catch! I'm hoping it's this cycle or next cycle !! :) it is soo hard makes me feel bad for being upset it's not my turn! Always makes me feel selfish! Lol x

OP posts:
Genevive123 · 15/03/2021 19:16

@Kty09 oh do you! Ooh that makes me feel hopeful haha, she did say I'd see palm trees leading up to it and that's all I've seen recently so we'll wait and see 😂 x

OP posts:
lisamxxx · 15/03/2021 19:27

@Genevive123 fingers crossed this is the month for you!! is this your 2nd cycle of trying? I think it's totally normal to feel like that when you are trying for a baby, especially when you want it sooo much!

Genevive123 · 15/03/2021 19:31

@lisamxxx yeah this is our second cycle of trying! I have two cycles this month so I'm really hoping it's on one of these cycles haha! My next is due to start 29th of March and into April!

Yeah you're right it's sooo tough! Desperate to be able to tell family and just to take a pregnancy test with my OH and for it to be positive !! X

OP posts:
lisamxxx · 15/03/2021 19:42

@Genevive123 I've just started my 2nd cycle of trying too, really hoping I catch this month! I definitely think I'll be a bit more upset this month if I don't but then I know it's totally normal for it to take a few months. I suppose we just got to stay positive though. I'm the same I can't wait to get that positive test and be able to tell my partner but then that will just open a whole other can of worries about the pregnancy! x

Genevive123 · 15/03/2021 19:49

@lisamxxx aw I hope you do too! Yeah it's actually harder than I thought it would be getting a negative test! You sound like a worrier, I am too 😂 I'm already panicking about how much I'm going to worry about everything once I've got a positive test xx
