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

@xoJellyBean aw thank you hun! How are you getting on?

OH hasnt been up to DTD hes been really sick so sadly I'm for sure out this month :(

@Genevive123 I'm ok! No sign of ovulation yet so just waiting... aw no sorry to hear that :( have you been using OPKs? Hopefully he gets better soon 🤞🏻 xx

@genevive123 Happy birthday! Sorry to hear you're out - it's so disappointing isn't it? Even when it can't be helped. Hope your OH feels better soon.

AF still hasn’t arrived even though my temperature dipped, but I’ve taken a test and BFN. I wish she would hurry up!

Ooo I think I found my people. DP and I had first attempt last night :)

Happy Birthday @Genevive123 hope you had a good day, despite OH being ill. Hope he feels better soon too!

@Catmumsoph92 congrats ✨

@justwant2beamum thanks hun! @Kty09 oh the wait is a killer! I started testing at 7dpo as couldn't resist! Didn't get my BFP until 9dpo though. How you feeling? Xx

Woohoo @LemonSwan when are you ovulating?

@xoJellyBean

Lol I think now because I just had a hormonal cry about where we would put the nursery if not in the office, and where the office is going to do if not the guest bedroom or vice versa! I am already in full on nesting mode

Haha @lemonswan I know the feeling! I've found that the prospect of fitting a child into our house really makes me good at decluttering. 😀 I feel like I've given away half my possessions on gumtree in the last six months. I'm also going through the same thoughts re: office/nursery, and guest room/office!

Glad to hear I am not alone in these thoughts @taytay2020

I think crying was a bit melodramatic but there you go :)

I think the logical solution is guest bedroom/office and the nursery in the small room - currently office. Then we can have all 3 in use if needs be. Although day to day I would prefer guest bedroom/ nursery probably.

Let me know what you decide

AF arrived yesterday for me. Happy to be on a new cycle and will hopefully get back on track trying this cycle after a complete fail last cycle. How are we all getting on?

Welcome back to the game @lisamxxx! This could be the month 🤞

I'm on CD6, gonna start opks on CD8. As promised, I have been prepping DH with many assurances that BDing does not lead to scary parenthood, it's all JUST A COINCIDENCE. 😉 I think he really felt the pressure last month. We also started watching Netflix's 'Babies' documentary together, so it's all feeling a bit more real. Baby dust all round! ✨

@taytay2020 oh I'll have to give that a watch. I definitely find there is added pressure with bd when you know it could potentially result in pregnancy, even I find it a bit hard to relax at times 😂 I'm hoping that getting back to a bit of normality this month may help. I'm going back to work this week so feel like it might take my mind off everything a bit and help me relax a bit more.

Right, I think that’s me out for this cycle. I hoped the spotting I was having was implantation but its too heavy so has to be AF. That’s 5 days earlier than all my apps have said and earlier than any other month after ovulation.
Ive ordered some Soy Iso to hopefully bring ovulation forward (it was CD35 this time) and also vitamin C to take after ovulation as I’ve read it can help thicken the uterus during the luteal Phase - still taking Seven Seas TTC and have a pretty good diet so not too worried. It was only cycle 1 for me but I still feel incredibly sad. I know my OH is pretty upset. He had got it in his head that we were going to be lucky.
Good Luck and Baby dust to everyone still in this month 💜

Hi girls! Will you have me back. I miscarried over the bank Holiday weekend, so I'm back at the start again 😔 Hope you are all doing well x

@Neom87 omg I am so so sorry ❤️ hope you're ok! We are here for you lovely xxxx

So sorry @Neom87 sending you all the love and positivity ❤️ Hope you’re okay xxx

@AllyCat31 sorry to hear. I started af too (after 1 month of ttc)
My OH was also convinced we will get pregnant straight away (his ex gf did in his teens), he Thought every woman will that sleeps with him with no protection 😂 he even initially wanted to wait to ttc for that reason. Now I can't get pregnant straight away it's almost satisfactory in a way to tell him: 'SEE...?'

Just remind yourself that it takes on average a year to get pregnant :) and stay positive, I know it's disheartening at times

Ow I'm so sorry @Neom87 😢 how are you getting on? Hope you are okay x

I'm so sorry @Neom87 sending lots of love X

I'm so sorry @neom87, I hope you're okay x

@Neom87 lots of love, I’m so sorry.

@Veronika13 yes I felt the same. It was him getting my hopes up this whole time. I’m hoping when he saw me so sad Sunday and yesterday that he realises we need to stay realistic. Feeling much better today. Focusing on house stuff as we move in a few months and realising that maybe with all the house stress we should just chill out a bit TTC. If it happens, it happens but once we’ve moved we can focus more

Sorry @Neom87 :( I had a mc too at start of March. There are a few good threads for support while mc-ing and also TTC after mc xxx
