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

Omg I am so bloated today... I look 6 months pregnant 🤣🤣 if only!

How's everyone?

@annwen congrats again, that's so lovely!

@xojellybean are you testing again tomorrow morning? You never know!

I'm doing ok thanks, just impatient for next cycle to start 😀 I'm also looking forward to the bank holiday now that I've realised it's so soon!! Hope you all have lovely plans for the weekend x

Hi @Clairabelle1. Thanks so much for your good wishes and so glad it's been an encouragement to you. I really hope you get a positive outcome soon too. We BD'd every day around ovulation. I really think that gives you the best chance - but maybe we were just lucky. Will be thinking of you thru your TWW xxx
I'm supposed to be working from home, but I'm so excited it's hard to concentrate!
@taytay2020 Really hoping it happens for you next cycle xx

@xoJellyBean ooh it sounds so positive lovely! Definitely do another test!

I was right about my AF symptoms, she's reared her ugly head right on time :(

@Genevive123 awww sorry to hear about af! Next cycle is yours though ❤️❤️

Did I buy the wrong bloody tests?!

@xojellybean you need the early one rather than the quick one! I looked 6 months pregnant the night before I got my BFP!! 🤞🤞

@Neom87 FS! Although my period is due tomorrow so I don't need the early one?? Or do it 🤣

@xoJellyBean thanks lovely!! I hope so ❤️

I think you might be ok With that one tomorrow as you would've missed your period? Xx

Thanks @Annwen 🥰
And good luck @xoJellyBean keeping everything crossed for you xx

@Genevive123 hopefully the last of AF for the rest of the year! 🤞🏼 The start of a new cycle is exciting 💕

Eeek fingers crossed for a BFP @xoJellyBean

@xojellybean ah you may be OK then if AF due tomorrow! Eeek I have everything crossed for you!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞

I am just writing off this month for me bd last night but Saturday was meant to be ovulation. Really just want this cycle to be over now so I can get on to the next and get back on track.

It is so exciting seeing some of us are starting to get BFP's!!

@xoJellyBean fingers crossed for you, I think that test will be ok if you are due on tomorrow

@Kty09 oh I hope so hun, really hope it happens for us this cycle !! Should be ovulating on the 10th which is my birthday!!

@lisamxxx aw bless you I felt a bit like tota last month, we DTD but I just knew deep down we hadn't managed to conceive - the TWW actually went fairly quickly for the first time haha it's because I wasn't symptom spotting! This cycle is going to be a killer !! lol xx

@Genevive123 that's true last cycles tww dragged because I was symptom spotting constantly so hopefully this 2ww will go quickly. Part of me feels so annoyed because I feel like I've wasted a month but another part of me is thinking at least I can relax a bit for the next 2 weeks. Fingers crossed this is the cycle you'll get your bfp xx

Thanks girls... I'm so nervous cause I know it'll be over for me if it's BFN tomorrow! 🤷🏼‍♀️ baby dust please 🤣🥰

@Neom87 how are you feeling now??

@xojellybean, not too bad but have noticed a few things, breathlessness, bloating, very sore boobs and I started with a bit of morning sickness this morning - not particularly bad but I just felt a bit rough. Hoping that's not going to become a thing!

@xoJellyBean fingers crossed 🤞 for you x
Let us know how you get on. How many DPOs will you be tomorrow when you test?

Thanks @Veronika13 I am either 11dpo or 13dpo (unsure as I have peak OPKs and my temp indicates both are possible)

I didn't test this morning, just didn't feel like I'm pregnant and would be upset to see a bfn! Will wait on af x

Hey everyone, just introducing myself. We decided to not actively try, but to stop trying not to get pregnant and classic me has become obsessed! It’s only the first month of trying and I don’t have a clue what I’m doing or what any abbreviations mean but I will get there.

Welcome, @tulipwood! I totally get it. I didn't expect to get as obsessed as this either but now that I'm in it I've found that living in limbo is torture! Probably made worse by self-employment - every time I get asked about work in 2022 my mind goes into 🤷‍♀️ 'how pregnant might I be then? / will I have a small human to keep alive at the same time?!'

@xojellybean 🤞🤞🤞

Here she comes... cramps galore 🤪

Hey everyone. Looking to join as I'm totally confused with my ovulation recently! I've only started tracking ovulation from January and this month I've started using clear blue. I have 31 day cycles and on day 20 however Im on day 4 of getting flashing faces and not had a solid smiley face yet. Does anyone think this is too late to ovulate?

@Aims1991 no not at all... I ovulated late this month! Loads of things can affect it. For me it was ibuprofen for a sore back 🙄🤣

@xoJellyBean Ah ok thanks! I just worry that it's too late and too close to AF to get pregnant 🙈
