TTC bubba #1

[Genevive123]

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

@Neom87 you will you will, it's going to be your cycle I can feel it !! X

@Neom87 omggg I am so telling her... that's a bit inappropriate then 🙈🙈

We've just moved house & im not even registered with a new GP yet as they take foreverrrrr where I live 🥲

I know how rude!! Can you tell I clinging on to that!! Haha!!

Literally been torturing myself all afternoon watching people's pregnancy reveals and people telling their partners! So ready now 😂 x

There's so many announcements at the moment! All the lockdown babies... And most of which are SURPRISES 🥲 getting impatient 🤣 x

@xoJellyBean tell me about it! I'm seeing announcements everywhere I look! Of course I'm happy for them, and I'm not a nasty jealous person but can't help wishing it was me!! Xx

@Genevive123 I'm the exact same, when a few of my friends fell pregnant around the same time I thought to myself... I'll not be far behind them 🤣🙈 urghhh hopefully this is our month and we will have little Christmas babies xx

@xoJellyBean it is tough!! Ooh hopefully, if not then next cycle (3rd time lucky)?! I've really got hope for my next cycle (I got two tarot readings, one said I would conceive on a cycle that begins in March and another said I would get a positive test in April) which would mean next cycle which starts 29th March so I have high hopes for that one ;) x

@Genevive123 wow omg that is soo specific! Kind of a given then?? Xx

@xoJellyBean well I hope so haha not sure how much I believe them? But we will see! It gave me some hope 😅 xx

I caved 🙈 and got a BFN this morning but that’s fine! AF should be here by the end of this week and if it’s anything like my last early ovulation date then OD may be next weekend.
🤞🏼 Really hoping for the next cycle!

@Kty09 awh! Bless you hun how many days dpo maybe it's too early? I'm 6dpo now AF due a week today, getting every single period symptom I usually get the week before! fingers crossed for both of us next cycle 😍 End Dec/ earlyJanuary babies! X

@Genevive123 10DPO today but as I said before we only managed to DTD on that day as it was the day OH got back from being away, I’m not shocked at all lol. Next fertile window should be across the long bank holiday weekend 🤞🏼 Really hope so!! Hope your tarot reading stands for me too 🤣

@Kty09 oh yes I do remember you saying!! Ooh think you're due to ovulate the weekend before me then! Mines the 10th of April for predicted ovulation and I'm sooo excited haha!

@Genevive123 I’m still not sure if I’m back to normal after the implant so I’ll carry on with the opks after AF next cycle. Eee not too far away!
I’m feeling soo bloated and a bit crampy today! 😩 deffo AF on the way

How are you getting on @Annwen x

@Genevive123 feel like going and getting a tarot reading now 🤣🤣 I have ovary pain today 🤯 on my right side... doing an opk later just incase lol

So my CB digital opk has a static smiley today(!) so it thinks that's my peak. Meanwhile, nothing but a faint line on the one step strip I did, so that's fun. Glad I'm using both types of opk this month!

I'm definitely not buying one step again, but I'm actually tempted by the expensive expensive plasticy CB cos it's sooooo easy to use! If we don't get a bfp this month maybe I'll ask DH for some for my bday 😀

Is anyone testing tomorrow morning?

Well I tested this morning with a normal cheapo strip, was a BFN obviously! Just couldn't help myself! I have some CB early detection coming in tomorrow's post.

@taytay20 - is it the machine thingy you are thinking of getting? Maybe you had a faulty batch from one step? I haven't used them but have used the femometer ones

@taytay2020 woohoo I would deffo trust the CB over the one step strips! I’ve stopped using them think they are not very trustworthy! Have you checked what the lines look like when you remove the stick from the CB holder thing? This was mine when I used it for the first time a couple months ago. I’ve seen a few people really rate that little CB machine! x

@xoJellyBean do a tarot reading do it!!!

Morning ladies,

Preying a few us get BFPs this month, my eyes are ready to see some squinted😅 anyone else just totally over this cycle? 6 days and counting for AF!! X

@Genevive123 wooo yes!! I'm feeling really anxious at the moment 🤷🏼‍♀️

@neom87 @kty09 Tried to reply last night but apparently it didn't work!

I've read that one step doesn't work for everyone, like maybe it's not sensitive enough for some people's levels/concentration of LH or something? (I can't quite remember!) so maybe that's it. My friend was raving about them so I can believe that it does vary.

I've got the purple CB digital, but not many more strips for it. Maybe enough for one more month, just.

@Kty09

How are you getting on *@Annwen* x

Hi Kty09. Thanks for asking. I'm now 12 dpo by my reckoning (just going on cycle, not been using OPK or anything this first month). Been trying not to think too much about it, but still noticing breasts feel full and heavy and have had some cramping, but not incredibly noticeable. Also had mood swings, which is odd for me. When do you think I should test?
