TTC #1, starting first ever TWW

[ano24]

👋

Anyone else in a similar position?

*that's

@ano24 fingers crossed still for you until it actually arrives your still in, it's devastating even if your not trying 100% or giving it 150% it still gets to you. Up until my AF arrived I was mostly convinced as some of the symptoms were the worst they have been but nope - AF arrived yesterday which is ironically when I would have been due before last month 🤷🏼‍♀️ think it must have been stressed induced last month 🤣

@Notawalker thank you ❤️ I'll keep flying the eff-off-AF flag for our group for a little longer and hope for the best. Will keep you updated.

I'm sorry to hear you'd got your hopes up too, it's the worst! Hopefully you'll at least settle back into your more regular cycle again now.

Random q but did you get implantation bleeding with your first?

@ano24 I did get one, even thou I thought it was just a light period due to me coming off the pill the previous month thought hormones were settling down 🤣

Hey! How're you both doing? Feel like I haven't been on here for ages lol 😂

I've been testing all month and I actually ovulated much later than I thought this time, so interesting to understand more.

Currently feeling a bit shitty, in the office today and having to listen to someone going round telling everyone super loudly that she's pregnant and it was the first try etc. 🤦🏻‍♀️ pleased for her but hard not too feel jealous too 😕

@BlueAjah so sorry I hadn't seen your message! Hope you're feeling a bit better about things now? Lots of pregnant colleagues at my place too so I know the feeling.

I've loosened up a lot on all the tracking and checking in on these apps etc. as feel like I need to chill out a bit and settle in for the longhaul unfortunately BUT in the FW right now so here we go 🤞🤞🤞

Hey guys, sorry I've been rubbish.

@BlueAjah it's never nice to hear I can remember having a little bit of a cry in the toilets when I was wanting to have a child but at the time I knew it wouldn't be on the cards for a few years, it really gets to you x

@ano24 fingers crossed for you

The last month or so I haven't been testing at all, and managed to DTD a few times but don't think it's happened this month. I've had a lot going on so feeling stressed especially at min while dog sitting a pup on top so not been top of my list.

@Notawalker nothing to apologise for! I think it's a good thing to not be checking in on these apps all the time, not like overthinking does us any good anyway. Just here for support when it's needed 😊

Cute you've been pup sitting, sometimes that stuff is full on but still good for the soul. And if you've still been DTD then you never know!

When are you due AF? I think I'm around 2po x

The dog has gone home 🤣 it was hard work with my LB running round too but we managed hopefully it won't happen again for another year 🤣

I honestly don't know when I'm due after the last few months, my app says Monday but I feel it could be sooner, I'm getting the upset stomach which is a sure sign for me.

Are you feeling positive about this cycle?

@BlueAjah how you feeling this week?

Hey @Notawalker hmm am I feeling positive... I think I would be if it was just starting out, given that we DTD across all 3 key dates in a row and had textbook OPKs showing surge etc. So in theory could be lucky this cycle 🤞

But given it's now month 6 and all previous 'perfect' months haven't worked out, I'd say I'm not expecting much! No symptoms to report or anything like that.

How are you getting on now? x

I know what you mean, fingers crossed this might be the lucky month.

I'm out af arrived at the weekend 😞

I'm really sorry to hear that @Notawalker, have you been able to do anything to try and cheer yourself up? You're one cycle closer. Sending love 💐

Hi @ano24, @Notawalker
Sorry I've been meaning to message on here for days and time just seems to have disappeared!
My AF was 2 weeks late this month (just to mess with my head 😂) but I'm just coming out of it now.

Feeling better about the work girl, I think it didn't help she's a really annoying person lol.

I'm hoping to try again this month, doing all the testing showed that last month I was ovulating later than I thought, so will be carrying on with that. My brother is getting married on the 25th, so might end up having to skip this month if it doesn't fall right.

Sorry you're out @Notawalker. How are you feeling @ano24?

Hey @BlueAjah argh two weeks! That must've been a rollercoaster.

Great that you seem to have worked out your ov dates though, mine fall a bit later in my cycle too so I find the strips really helpful for checking.

I'm feeling ok thanks, no symptoms and due AF in next few days. I'll test this weekend if still no sign... 🤞

@BlueAjah I would have been testing everyday, gutted it wasn't positive for you. That's interesting to know about your cycle I think I need to get some more strips so I can do that as my cycle seems to be a bit all over I went from been regular 28 days to very random so would definitely help I think.

@ano24 fingers crossed for you.

@Notawalker @BlueAjah we finally have some good news in our little group... I've tested and they're all positive.

So I'm currently very cautiously, but optimistically, pregnant 🥹

Fingers firmly crossed they keep getting stronger, and hopefully this is a lucky cycle for us all 🤞💫

@ano24 awww fantastic news!!!! So happy it's happened for one of us! 😀 😃🎉🎉

@ano24 omg! That's amazing news! I'm so pleased for you 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you so much guys ❤️ still can't quite believe it. Hope everything turns out ok.

Your turn next! And hopefully very soon too 🤞 sending lots and lots of positive vibes @BlueAjah @Notawalker

@ano24 how you been feeling?

@BlueAjah how are you getting on this month? Have you managed to see your donor?

I've just done week one of my tww so will see sometime soon feeling a little hopeful which I don't know is good or bad following the last few months where I haven't felt it at all.

Hey @Notawalker ohh not long to wait now! I think a little hope is good, it's nice to bring some positivity and excitement back to the process where poss. It's always one month closer 😊

I'm feeling fine thank you, but no symptoms which is making me nervous... so have booked an early scan for this weekend when I'll be 7 weeks, so really hope things appear as they should be then 🤞 will report back.

Did you have early symptoms with your first?

@ano24 I don't think I had that many symptoms the main one was the very tender boobs that was the one that made me do the test, I remember going to a Xmas market maybe about 8/9 weeks in and having to shield them from people incase they caught they as it was so busy and they were agony 😂 I only felt a little queasy but not for long periods that wasn't until about 13/14 weeks I think.

Ooo exciting @ano24, I bet you can't wait to see them!

I'm out probably until January tbh. My October dates were over my brothers wedding, I'm away in Nov and the December ones are Xmas 😂

When are you due to test @Notawalker?
