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

Morning everyone. I think I’m out this cycle. AF is due over the next few days and my BBT plummeted this morning so I think she’s definitely on her way!

It’s no big deal, I have learnt so much about my body this cycle that I never knew so feel ready to try again next cycle.

Hope you are all doing well x

@tulipwood Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you're not too disappointed. It's really fascinating to find out what's going on, isn't it? I had NO IDEA about my cycle before ttc. And next month could be the one! 🤞

Keeping everything crossed for you @veronika13! 🌟 Let us know when you're testing!

I've just ordered new CB advanced opks for next week (I still had 5 left in the box but I didn't want to risk running out and not seeing my static smiley). So pleased AF was early - I should be in my FW during our holiday next week! I really hope this is our month - from a self-employed p.o.v. it's logistically annoying being in limbo 😀

Hi Ladies, hope you don't mind me jumping on here. We are cycle 3 TTC and got our BFP this afternoon! It was a FRER and I am dying to take the clearblue digital to see that special word! I'm only 9dpo so over the moon to have got a BFP this early! How many hours do you think I need to hold for it to be visible on a clearblue? Xx

@Catmumsoph92 probably a few days. Congrats! ☺️

Congratulations @Catmumsoph92 ! Fab news!
Yeah I think it would take a few days as you have to have a certain level of hormone maybe do the digital at around 13/14dpo? X

@catmumsoph92 congratulations!!

@taytay2020 thanks hun. It is so interesting and honestly I wish I was taught all this when I was younger! At my school it was go near a boy and you’ll be pregnant instantly. If only 😂 . That’s such good timing with your holiday. Woohoo!

@Catmumsoph92 congratulations!!

I never usually get cramps with AF but I’ve had really bad cramps all day, but she’s not turned up yet. I just want it to arrive now so I can get started on next month. Quite annoying that she’s arrived when unwanted AND causing me pain. How rude of her.

Congratulations @catmumsoph92 🥳

@tulipwood how very dare her!! 😂 I think its unfair we get menstrual pain and labour pain 😂 since I come off the pill 3 years ago I get terrible cramps. I get cramps week before then on day sometimes its so painful it just drains me. Luckily I can sit at home and work with hot water bottle on my belly

@Veronika13 ooh good luck! When do you think you'll test?

@Tulipwood AF a rude one isn't she!! Hope it doesn't take too long to come so you can start your next cycle!

@taytay2020 fingers crossed for a holiday baby! Would be such good timing 😁

@Catmumsoph92 congratulations!! As the others say, maybe 13/14dpo?

Hi I'm not sure when I'll test. I'm 13 dpo today.
Just read on here that clearblue digital takes longer than a usual test? I only have crealblue digital.
I'm too scared to test. ☹️

@Veronika13 hopeful for you 🤞🏼 It’s so hard isn’t it! When is AF due? Maybe wait until you’re officially late.. that’s what I am going to try to do this cycle. Will be disheartened if I get bfn this cycle I think 😕
What CD are you at @Kat668 ?

Af due Monday 12th April 😕 just going through some stuff in life today and feel like it's a downer on my so far happy ttc journey. If I test now ... I just don't know how I'll feel for either of the result 😑

Oh @veronika13 the suspense must be killing you! I'd wait to test for as long as you can though, if you're worried. You'll get a solid answer that way, and (this sounds obvious but I think we need to hear it) doing a test, whenever you do it, won't make you any more or less pregnant! How about deciding now what day you'll be testing on? It's Thursday now, so maybe make a plan to wake up and do it on Saturday or Sunday morning? Sending baby dust! ✨

Thank you for the support 🧡 , literally not another soul knows about these tests in my cupboard (not even OH)
It's actually a really good idea to decide on the day and do it then, as I just got them out again when went to the toilet with my morning visit (in Aus so morning here). And couldn't do it - left in the packet.

How about i do it tomorrow? Will be 14 dpo, and 2 days before my period.
Wish I had one of you girls with me present when I do the test 🤣

@Veronika13 very jealous of you being in aus!
Tomorrow sounds like a good idea and hopefully you’ll be in a better headspace as you want to be feeling positive whatever the outcome. Fingers crossed for you! Xx

Thank you ladies! The support of netmums over the past 3 months has been priceless! It is so nice to speak with people in the same boat, especially POAS addicts like me! Now I am just keeping my fingers crossed that this baby stays put! I'm sending you all so much baby dust

@veronika13 we're here for you whatever the result!

@Catmumsoph92 how are you feeling? Have you had any symptoms x

@Kty09 I'm 10dpo 😁 don't know CD as I came off the pill on the 15th March and haven't had any bleeds yet ha ha.

@Veronika13 we're all with you in spirit!!

I'm out 😑 af due Monday.
feeling a bit empty but it'll pass :) I was so hopeful!
Still don't get it as dtd daily, means I didn't ovulate? thank you for the support everyone, only did the test today as I promised I would. Otherwise I'd still be agonising 😆

@veronika13 I'm really sorry you didn't get the result you wanted! Even if you do everything right, it still just comes down to luck unfortunately. If AF doesn't arrive on Monday you could test again next week, but otherwise just remember that the next cycle might be the one 🤞

@Kty09 I am feeling okay but that might be because I'm so excited! Still hasn't quite sunk in! I have felt a bit sick and my boobs are sore but apart from that I'm good. That might all change as I'm only 10 dpo today. I did take a CB digital today and it confirmed I am 1-2 weeks. How are you all getting on?

I had a bfn and due Tues which is good as I can go ahead with my plans of surgery. Get these implants out and then ttc. Good luck to all you ladies

@Veronika13 I think the chances of conceiving each cycle are around 30% so even if you are doing everything right it doesn’t always happen, it doesn’t mean something is wrong. Remember it can take a healthy couple up to a year to conceive. If you haven’t watched that video I posted before maybe give it a watch it’s quite a good insight! Hope you’re okay 😊
@Catmumsoph92 ahhhh I am 3/4dpo and going out of my mind 🙈

Happy Birthday @Genevive123 !! 🎈
