Month 1, TTC #1

[CrazyCatLady75340]

Anyone want to join? I'm 34 and TTC #1. 2DPO and managed to only DTD twice as we were travelling for our honeymoon. Only using OPK's at the moment but may start temping in the next few months if no luck.

@AlbatrossSociety omg time flew!!!!! Can't believe you're already 19 weeks 😱

Thank you I'll keep you updated 💗 and you also update us after your scan!

[AlbatrossSociety]

Just got a notification for this thread and congratulations @Peauela!!! I'm at 19 weeks now - 20 week scan next week! I have to say that time absolutely dragged until the end of the first trimester but is now flying by. Hope everything goes well and keep us updated???

Fingers crossed that this is your cycle @MrsYan

[Peauela]

And that same day I tested I got a positive digital test and I bought a little onesie and wrapped it around the test and gave it to my hubby. He was not expecting it 😂

[Peauela]

@MrsYan I heard so much about manifestation and was hoping to try it but never got around to doing it! How was Christmas?

OMG thank you. It still doesn't feel real, not until I see the bean on the ultrasound 🥺

So on the 15th December I got my period, I was going to make an appointment with my doc for January to run some tests as we've been trying for 6 months. With Christmas and family coming we decided not to track this cycle so I wasn't checking my temperature or doing ovulation tests.. we had sex ONLY TWICE the entire cycle, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day for luck 🍀 and low and behold... on the 13th January I thought I'd use my last easy@home test because I was going to order more for next cycles... I was not expecting a positive but it was!!!!!! Obviously I bought shitload of other tests and been testing since xD

So I started off with fairly low beta hCG so I'm a bit worried, doc said it's still early so it's all normal but some people come up with results in hundreds and mine was only 45 and went up to 160 after 4 days so it's still 89% of a rise in two days but I wish it was a better doubling situation! No spotting or anything worrying so far but you know... I like to overthink 🙄

Anyway, anxiously waiting for a scan now. I can't freakin believe it!

[MrsYan]

@Peauela I'm really pleased for you, it's so exciting! How did you find out? Did you test early or wait for missed AF? How did you tell DP? TELL ME EVERYTHING

I feel good. I am trying not to symptom spot at all, just going with the flow. Fertile week was good 😉 I have started manifestation, so have been practicing (I don't really know what I'm doing but I'm trying) so feeling very positive and thankful. I think I have lots of gratitude too but who bloody knows I ain't got a clue 😂 xx

[Peauela]

@MrsYan thank you ❤️ how are you feeling? How was your cycle?

[MrsYan]

@Peauela omg! Congratulations, I am so pleased for you, please let me know how your appointment goes 🤍 xx

[Peauela]

@MrsYan not at all! I've been keeping to myself also because I am 6 weeks pregnant today!!!! Feels surreal to even say this. I still can't believe it. We haven't been tracking this last cycle but we only had sex twice New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. I have my first appointment on Monday.

I hope you'll get your BFP this month ❤️

[MrsYan]

@Peauela hey!!!

I'm all good thank you, how are you?

I have struggled with CD1 and being late etc so have kept to myself a bit this cycle, sorry 😢 I am currently 6DPO. Where are you in your cycle? xxx

[Peauela]

@MrsYan Hey, how are you? Been a while!

[Peauela]

@MrsYan oh no I'm so sorry to hear both :( sending you virtual hugs!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[MrsYan]

@Peauela hi hun, sorry for late reply had the worst week... AF got me and then found out my dog might have cancer ☹️☹️☹️ hope you are ok? Xxx

[Peauela]

@MrsYan are you ok? Any updates?

[Peauela]

@MrsYan omg bullshit!!!! You're not out until AF arrives but hopefully it won't. It's so unfair. Which cycle of TTC is it for you?

[MrsYan]

@Peauela I tested and it was negative 😩 3 days late now, not sure what's going on. I don't think I could of ovulated late going by EWCM. I wasn't able to track BBT around ovulation as I was poorly so my temp was really high.

What do you think? Xx

[MrsYan]

@Peauela ok ok, I promise to test in the morning. I will not be able to sleep!

Oh I'm jell! I have always wanted to go to Ireland! It's on my bucket list.

Haha hilarious 🤣 I have a good feeling for this cycle for you ✨✨✨✨ xx

[Peauela]

@MrsYan yes wait until tomorrow but do test!! 😂

I live In Ireland! So not many exciting things around here! 😂

No, normally I tested at 7DPO 🤣 so hoping for this month to be different and I can actually last until 14DPO

[MrsYan]

@Peauela I'm too scared! I should wait for the morning and use FMU shouldn't I?

I don't feel pregnant! Lol I should just do it as I hate being in limbo 😂

Where do you live? There are a few around by us, Cardiff and Bristol I have found to be the best! My son is 8 on the 21st Dec! He's getting big.

Do you normally hold out until testing day? I was reading the December thread earlier on and you are planning on testing on....... 17th? I think 🤔 xx

[Peauela]

@MrsYan cmon test already I'm way too invested to wait 😂😂😂🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Ahh Christmas market sounds amazing! Wish there were any nice ones where I live. how old is your son?

Feeling absolutely normal! Not looking for any symptoms and trying not to thing about it at all until testing day comes! 😂

[MrsYan]

@Peauela I wish I could be chill but I can't... I pretend to DP that I'm chill but in my head I'm secretly like we need to DTD at exactly 5.07pm to be in with the best chance this week lol.

Welllllll still no AF, still have a high temp this morning, cervix is still high too 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I should test but I'm scared.

I love doing a good deep clean! I took my son to an Xmas market on Saturday, so that was fun and then yesterday he had a rugby match so spent the morning freezing my tits off lol!

How you feeling at 3DPO? Xx

[Peauela]

@MrsYan absolutely! Chill all the way 😂

I'll keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 and hopefully once you get your BFP I'll join you soon 😂

Weekend was quiet, did some deep cleaning today and am now dead 😂

Anything exciting happening for you?

[MrsYan]

@Peauela I have everything crossed for you. Did you carry on with the chilled approach?

So still no AF. I have had cramps all day and I never get this with AF, it's always a surprise when I go to the toilet and have come on lol 😂😅 kept thinking I had come on but nope just lots of cm 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I normally come in late afternoon early evening so gunna be a tense next few hours lol! How's your weekend been? Xx

[Peauela]

@MrsYan omg! So exciting! I can't wait 🤩🤩 I have a really good feeling about you 🍀

Yes, I'm currently about 2DPO so my cycle is absolutely destroyed 😭 now I have to wait another 12 days to test 😂 but I will try to hold off til the end this time. Not very hopeful about this cycle!

[MrsYan]

@Peauela sooooo I am due AF today and I have somehow managed to hold off testing 😎

If there is no appearance tomorrow... I will test on Tuesday. I really don't know what will happen, I don't feel pregnant. I have loads of symptoms though, sore boobs, cramps (don't get with AF) cervix is still HIGH when normal it drops a couple of days before af. So I dunno, I'm scared to test and see a negative.

How are you? Did I see on another post that you have just ovulated? We are no longer cycle twins 😭 xx

[Peauela]

@MrsYan honestly I only noticed my cycle being messed up and neon yellow pee 😂😂

Same with tiredness! I'm going to try to test after AF due date but I'm not holding much hope for this month - we took it easy and we are much more relaxed this time around - but I know disappointment will be the same if it's not our month
