Waiting to ttc 🌻 Anyone else?

[Sunnymummy3]

Hello! After this current packet, I am coming off my pill then waiting a few months to eat healthy, let my cycle go back to normal then track ovulation... then hoping to start ttc in July 🙂 Very excited, and a little nervous.

Is anyone else waiting to try?

Hi ladies, I just thought I would pop in and say hi and ask how you are getting on? Is everyone still holding off until the summer?

I am still waiting until July, also still waiting on my first period to arrive, I stopped the pill right at the start of a "pill period" which lasted 7 days but since then nothing.

Can't get babies off my mind, been watching all of the baby shows on TV and everytime I walk past anything baby related in the supermarket i'm broody. It's terrible lol x

Hi, i was thinking of posting on here yesterday. I am still waiting until July time too however watching my son play with other little ones makes me so eager to give him a sibling to play with. How is everyone else getting on? Looking forward to hearing some good news on here in the upcoming months

Hi ladies 😊

I am actively TTC now, after coming off the pill in January. AF is due next week so let's wait and see how successful this cycle has been!

@Mano2020 I'm with you on that. I would love a little sibling for my 2 year old!

@Mano2020 It's been a long wait hasn't it, although now that we are in May, I feel like it's not as bad, a good bit closer to July! 😄
It will be so lovely, a sibling is the best gift to give them I think. Have you been doing the healthy eating?

@S0220 oooh, so exciting! I'm pleased to hear that your cycle has returned to normal so you can ttc now😀 really hoping you get a bfp next week instead of AF! How are you finding the 2 week wait so far, Is it dragging in?

Hey ladies,

I’m waiting to TTC #2 in December when my daughter turns one. I’d get pregnant now if my husband would let me! Feels like it’s so far away though. Going to start prepping and tracking ovulation properly in September and take prenatal vitamins from August. December feels so far away!!!

@Sunnymummy3 thanks so much! The TWW has been a drag so far but I've noticed a few signs that may be promising...and what I suspect may be implantation bleeding today at 8dpo. Let's wait and see! Not planning to test until a week today - let's see if I can hold out that long 😂😂

@S0220 i am wishing you all the best and all fingers crossed for you 

@Sunnymummy3 you are right! Time is going quickly as my son is keeping me busy but at the same time I am looking forward to the months ahead. I have been trying to motivate myself to eat more healthier but have not really been as strict as i wanted to however the next two months i am going to really try to eat clean and healthy so i feel ready when TTC.

When do you start taking the pre-conception vitamins? I remember taking them with my first but do not remember when i began to take them. Is there a timeframe they suggest before TTC? Thanks

Hi ladies! Hope you're all doing well. Time's going quick here too
Yes still planning on waiting another month or so - although, we had a bit of an erm, 'accident' or lapse in tipsy judgment 😂 and used no protection the other day. I was around 3 days before ovulation so know it's not impossible so in a TWW now I guess 😅
Really not expecting to be pregnant but stranger things have happened and we would be over the moon anyway. Just perhaps a little sooner than thought 😄 if not, planning on starting trying in June anyway!

@Mano2020 I was thinking about starting to take one now. I'm sure the recommendation is to start a couple of months before you conceive ☺️

@fancyfrogs hahahaha it sounds like when i had my first. One time and pregnant straight away 😂 wish you all the best! I will start taking my vitamins from tomorrow thank you!

Sorry I am only replying now, I had a really tough week with my 2 little monsters and was struggling, at times like that, I think " am I crazy to want another " ... anyway they are behaving better so now i'm broody again 😂

Hi @nadsc Aw it feels so far when you really want it now doesn't it, I hope you have a busy Summer and it makes the time fly in for you! Is this your first?

@Mano2020 lol I know what you mean, I was so bad over the holidays but I am back to being good now and really trying, would like to loose a few pounds before ttc as well, might be nice to be skinny before I get far again 😂.
yes you are right... I have just started taking folic acid, I just bought it on it's own was only 99p as I am already taking a few other vitamins separate.

@S0220 Did you give in and test yet? (And if you didn't, you have amazing self control lol) I am excited to see what happens for you 😀

@fancyfrogs Yes sperm can live for up to 5 days I think I read somewhere before.. or maybe it was longer, anyway, as you said, it's a definite possibility! 🙂 When would your AF be due to arrive?

I came off the pill and regulated immediately. I started tracking ovulation immediately and it was the exact same day each month - I would recommend tracking straight away even if you’re not TTC just so you can try to understand your cycle and regularity.

@Sunnymummy3 hello! I did test today at 12dpo but unfortunately it was a BFN 😩😩😩 although I feel that all of the symptoms I'm having at the moment all point towards pregnancy so it's really messing with my head at the minute. I feel really deflated today. 😔 thanks for asking xx

@DogsAndGin good advice 🙂, my period has finally returned so hoping I will be able to work out a pattern soon, are you ttc now?

@S0220 Aw i'm sorry, I have been in your situation and it is tough, the fact that pre period and early pregnancy symptoms are so similar can make ttc really emotional can't it. Hoping you will find out soon one way or another 💜

@S0220 stay positive. It is so hard especially as most of the symptoms could be related to both menstrual and early pregnancy signs. Hope your feeling better.

@Sunnymummy3 I have just indulged in a huge slice of fresh cream cake and now promise to eat healthier from tomorrow. I am going to allow myself one cheat day in the week but the rest i will try to eat as healthy as i can. Its easier said then done i know haha

@Sunnymummy3 around the 18th - I'm desperately trying to just forget it happened and not think about it, I'd forgot how stressful the waiting is 😂 but knowing there's a possibility, I can't stop wondering! Though when we've talked about it it was nice, we both agreed that we'd be over the moon if by some chance I was pregnant and are ready to try properly next cycle. Exciting 😊😊

@Sunnymummy3 @Mano2020 thank you both ❤️ I have been getting AF cramps on and off and sore boobs are not as sore today, so I'm prepared that this isn't my lucky cycle! AF is due on Wednesday so I won't be testing until Thursday at the earliest unless AF shows up before then. Hope you're all doing okay 🥰

@fancyfrogs and @S0220 fingers crossed for you both 🤞🏼please keep us updated on the thread.

@Mano2020 thank you! But I'm out for this cycle unfortunately 😔 AF showed up today! Onto the next one!

@S0220 ☹️ fingers crossed for next time. I have just started taking my vitamins and hopefully will begin to actively start trying in July once my little one is 2. Time is going so fast.

@Mano2020 a cheat day is such a good idea, i think you are more likely to stick to being good if you are lenient once a week, cake and all 😄

@fancyfrogs Hoping you are kept busy the next coming week then so that you don't think too much and as mano said, let us know how you get on

@S0220 so sorry to hear af arrived. I hope you get a good sleep and feel better tomorrow, and plenty of chocolate to help 😊

@Sunnymummy3 thank you for your kind words ☺️ I feel much better about it today actually. Had a bit of a heart to heart with DH about it earlier. It's amazing what a little venting can do for you!

Ah ladies. My lack of self control has made me test this morning, only 10dpo so I know too early but I couldn't help it. Just a onestep cheap one, think there's a faint shadow so just thinking an evap and will get a FRER and try to hold off until Monday (which was my original plan🤦🏼‍♀️😂) why do I do this to myself 😅

Perhaps it wasn't an evap. 😳 11dpo

@fancyfrogs i have just seen this! That looks like a clear positive to me. Have you done another test? How are you feeling? This is so exciting 🙂
