TTC baby 1

[ttcbaby12023]

Hi all,

I'm new here and looking for my cycle buddies.

Currently CD24, 8 DPO. I'm in my TWW and the wait is killing me! Tested with FMU today and BFN. Although I convinced myself I saw a shadow, I think it's probably my line eyes lol.

I miscarried my first pregnancy 23/08 at 4w2d ( CP )

Praying for my BFP this month

Anybody else in the same boat??

How long have you been TTC?

I'm about CD11 so not quite in the TWW.

My hubby doesn't really talk about that much, he's soooo chilled out and just says "stop stressing and worried, it'll happen at some point!"

Don't know how he's so relaxed about it all, think he knows how much life will change if/when we actually have a baby so he's in no rush 😂

@ttcbaby12023

It was much needed after Covid, I needed to have as many holidays as possible this year!

Well I have everything crossed that AF stays away and we see a BFP soon.

Its so hard isn’t it. My cousin is the same ages as me and she has two little girls. She came off the pill and fell pregnant that month 😲 so I just hoped it would happen for us but it is what it is and baby will be worth the wait.

No, I am CD11 so in the fun bit at the mo haha. We are doing EMSP this month! xx

@TTC2022newbie

3/4 months. I’m also CD11!! How exciting. Are you using OPKs?

Yeah my hubby is also pretty chilled but I’m a planner and I like to talk things out, luckily he calms me down haha xx

You're going to have to help me with EMSP and OPKs as I have no idea what they mean 🤣

The only thing different about this cycle is that I am using a fertility cup

@TTC2022newbie

No worries - OPK is ovulation prediction kit, so they tell you when you have surge of LH which means you are ovulating. I meant SMEP sorry, which is sperm meets egg plan - spermmeetseggplan.com

xx

I have not done/used either of these.

My cycle is quite short CD21-25 so after AF is gone I'm pretty much straight into ovulation and then TWW a week after.

And 'most' months I get ovulation pain so we have just been DTD every other or every day.

I might get a bit more planned if nothing happens after cycle 6/7 but I'm not sure what help OPK would be.

This cycle we are DTD every day from CD7. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@RJS20 how are you feeling today?
I always get so tired when I'm ovulating, just can't concentrate today 🤦🏼‍♀️🥱

@ttcbaby12023 we seem to have quite similar cycles, AF is due Friday for me! I have been testing like a crazy woman lol, I thought I seen a faint line on 10DPO, but have had a definite BFN yesterday and this morning at 13DPO. Just going to try wait it out until AF to arrive now

Hello Everyone,

Im new here, can I join please?

Im 33 and currently on Cycle 1 of TTC baby number 1. I’ve been with my husband 9 years and we are very excited at the prospect of starting a family. I am concerned ( although no evidence!) that I will find it difficult as I have irregular cycles . They can be anything from 28 days to 39. My longest was in 2020 which was 47 days!
Im currently on CD 11 and just did my first ever ovulation test (negative).
I don’t want to stress before we even start- we’re trying not to be too regimented about it - just having fun 😉
hooe to make some ttc buddies!

Hello everyone I'm glad I've found this post I dont feel so alone now. I'm 32 years old and ttc for first time. Its the 2nd month trying for us and I'm hoping to ovulate any day now. It's all I can think about I never thought ttc would take over my life so much I wish I could just relax but it's all I think about. Let's hope we all get our bfps soon Sending you ladies lots of baby dust.

Hi ☺️👋

I'm 31 DH 36 and we are on cycle 4 for baby #1
We have been married for 9 years.

It's so hard not to think about it when you know there is science behind it, or DTD in ovulation window....

I was really bad the first cycle, obsessed with everything and testing every morning but I'm a but I'm a bit more relaxed now on cycle 4 but just feeling a bit disheartening now because I'm still not pregnant 😔

Just hoping and praying I get BFP before 2023...

Yes I'm so glad I've made some TTC buddies, has massively helped talking to others about it. Especially because DH is so relaxing and won't really talk about it.

Hi

I'm glad you found it too ☺️

I think I'm ovulating, my cycle is very regular and I usually get ovulation symptoms, one being absolutely knackered like today 🥱

I never thought it would consume my mind as much as it is too 🤯 I just have to keep busy and do something most nights after work.

🤞For BFPs in this post 🙂

I've felt completely out of sorts this cycle and haven't felt like it was going right at all.
Last night did not help when I'm fairly convinced it was ovulation day, DH had a bad day at work and wasn't in the move. 😔

I just feel like writing this whole cycle off.

AF is due when I'm in Wales so I don't really want it to hang over me on holiday so I think I just need to forget about this cycle and just get in a better frame of mind next month.

@Nellybelly03 cycle sisters! 👯‍♀️

AF due today for me! CD31

FMU test BFN! 🤦‍♀️ Just waiting on AF to arrive now. I've got that congested feeling downstairs so I know she's just waiting on the flood gates to open lol

I saw some shadows on my cheapies last night (boots strips/first vue strips) and used FRER this morning but of course not even an indent!

I really take your not out until AF arrives way too serious, like the BFN's aren't enough for me🤷‍♀️

@LittleMissV989 Welcome lovely!💕 we are all in the same boat here so always here for a chat. My partner is also just way too relaxed, TTC can be so lonely! Especially for us ladies, it's always on our minds and when it doesn't happen we get frustrated with our own bodies( well I do anyways)

I can't wait to see some BFP's as the weeks go on 🤞🏼

@RJS20 hey, how are you doing?

How is everyone?

I'm feeling so much better this evening and going to carry on with a mind set of 'this cycle hasn't worked' I'm not going to test early and just Carry on DTD and not over thinking everything!!

I'm 1DPO according to my app 🤷🏼‍♀️ but knowing me it can be give or take 2/3 days.

Evening everyone,

I‘m feeling good today, received high fertility yesterday and today on the CB advanced OPKs so ovulation is any day now.

Does anyone else suffer from exhaustion and cramps when ovulation is due?

How is everyone feeling? Xxx

@RJS20 Yes around the day of ovulation I am absolutely knackered! So I think it was yesterday.

Just don't know what to think this cycle! sort of just want to start again 😅 Think I am probably 1DPO so here comes TWW

@TTC2022newbie glad it’s not just me, I always need an afternoon nap 😂

Well fingers crossed! Really hope we see some BFPs on here shortly. I have a good feeling about this cycle xx

Hey Ladies!

Welcome to the TWW, another cycle closer to baba✨

I'm CD32 and 16 DPO, no AF yet but still very crampy! I have no idea what's going on, potential delay due to CP last month I'm guessing.

FMU tests have been Neg. Although in the afternoon/evening I've been getting shadows on cheapies so who really knows 🤷‍♀️

Very confused this cycle

Morning @ttcbaby12023

How long is your cycle usually?

I have everything crossed that we see a BFP from you in the next couple of days. Are you testing twice a day?

I am still showing as high fertility so no peak as of yet, not sure if I’ve missed it or it’ll happen this weekend. I’ve got a terrible headache today so who knows.

Hope you’re all well.

its CD 13 for me and two negative ovulation tests so far. We are DTD every other day and only first cycle of TTC #1 .
At the moment we just agreed we would stop preventing and see what happens… but now we’ve said that I can’t stop thinking about it 😂 my first step is working out if/ when I’m actually ovulating without stressing about it!
baby dust to all

@RJS20 My average cycle is 30 days. So who knows what's going on right now, last November was my longest tracked cycle of 34 days, so could be the same this month?🤔

I just have a pain in my ass right now with how dragged out this cycle is, considering I'm testing since probably 7/8 DPO🤦‍♀️

Yes FMU and PM, The shadows I have received in testing are usually PM so I will test again this eve.

Hope you get your peak soon lovely! X

AF due today but no sign yet… BFN lastnight and haven’t tested this morning. Have been having dull cramps for about 10 days now but still no sign of AF although my period can fluctuate by a day or 2. Not sure whether to keep testing or not

Can I join? I'm currently on CD4 of cycle 3 so hoping we'll have better luck this month. I'm finding it very hard not to count down the days to ovulation and when next AF is due because in my head I'm counting down to when we'll get good news. Definitely makes it feel like the rest of life is on hold though

@ttcbaby12023

Eek let us know how you get on tonight when you test.

I’ve just received my peak - I decided to test again because I cant shift this headache. We’ve DTD every day since Monday so I’m hoping we are on for a winner this month.

xx
