Anyone else in the early stages of their TTC journey for baby #1?

[Ivylilac]

Hi everyone,

We’re early into our TTC journey and are currently on cycle number 2 for our first baby. I’ve also never been pregnant before.

I’m currently on day 14 of my cycle but my cycles are around 25-27 days on average, so my Flo app predicted I’d ovulate on day 12 based off symptoms of ovulation from previous months which have been quite consistent. We dtd on day 7,8,10 and 11 and haven’t been able to do it again since due to clashing work schedules, mega long days and then being exhausted in our free time as a result, so I have no idea if we’ve done enough this cycle.

Either way, it would be nice to chat to others in the same boat who are also only just starting their TTC journey! :) I told myself this cycle I wouldn’t count down the days or symptom spot like I did last cycle, but it’s hard not to already!

AF also started for me this weekend, so ovulation should be the week after my wedding. Good timing!

You and me both @tiutinkerbell. Premom is predicting ovulation for me as 8 or 9 June so the wedding night is really going to have to deliver 😆 Fingers crossed for those first week of March babies!

Can you tell I got a bit obsessed with the OPKs today 🫣 I didn’t get a very high OPK last month after the chemical. Hoping I get a decent peak tomorrow 🤞

TTC baby #1 and 7DPO - trying very hard to resist the urge to test early, really want to wait until AF is late!

@Mycorallife I’m 7 DPO too! And I was planning on not testing any earlier than Sunday… I don’t know can I hold out.😂 It’s our first cycle so I’m not expecting a BFP. Are you trying long? This TWW is a pain!

@A2025 It’s our first cycle as well! Also not expecting a BFP, but yes i’m not enjoying the TWW, I was thinking Sunday was the earliest I would test too, I think the uncertainty of a v faint line would be hard

@Mycorallife Ya, I totally get you. I know I will be disappointed if I don’t see a line, even though I’m not expecting it! It’s strange, isn’t it? You would never know though. We could be lucky! Fingers crossed it’ll happen for us soon anyway.😊

Not ovulation testing this month, wayyy too busy with the wedding. The apps say ovulation will be Sunday which is the day after so hopefully we can BD today and Sunday. We did yesterday and my (almost) DH was like “I’m sure that will have worked, job done” 😂
