First time TTC?!! Let's get through this together!!

[DawnAS]

Hi All,

This is a difficult time for most women (and men) I think.

Certainly for me, I've waited a long time to get to this stage , having not met Mr Right until the age of 31. Now 34 and got married 2 months ago and now want to complete the family!

So, just started "trying" for a baby and due to my impatient nature, have already started using Ovulation Kits. (Probably not a good idea). I also did the Female Fertility Test and that seemed to have a good result aswell.

I was on Dianette for 8 years and came off of it 3 years ago. My cycles became regular again but every 5 weeks instead of 4. I had previously come off of the pill for 6 months and my cycles were regular, so I guess all this is a good sign.

Anyone else had similar experiences and fallen pregnant quickly? I know everyone's different but any good news stories help move us all along!! .

i have been told every other day is the way forward as if it is every day then it inteferes with something or other....

Saz - I think it's worth Bding daily til just past OV date. One of the ladies on another thread did that last cycle and she's PG. I guess so long as it's fun and relaxed and there's no stress involved, then it's definitely worth a go. I'm planning to BD every other day until a few days before I think I'll ovulate and then go for it every day.

Good luck!!!

Thanks ladies!

I'm sure DH won't complain too much...

Saz xx

Aaaarrrgghhh! Just did a pg test and managed to drop it in the loo!!!!! I have another test stick, but I don't need to have a wee now!!

Kalikaroo - PMSL - but I'm sorry, because I know it's no laughing matter!! Good luck and let us know!!!! Fingers and toes crossed for you!!

ROFL ...sorry I know its not funny

Good luck with the test Kalikaroo.

Ok - God! I'm shaking!!! So I did another test and I think I got a BFP!!!!!
Aaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I bought a 3-pack of those clearblue digital ones and dropped the first testing stick part down the loo. Just did another one and it says f**cking positive!! (Sorry for the swearing!)

My DH made me promise that I wouldn't test til the weekend so he could be there, but I couldn't wait - is it ok for me to do another test on saturday and pretend to be shocked??? He'll hit the roof if he knows I did it without him!! (If it's actually a positive and not a dodgy stick)...

Congratulations Kalikaroo!!! Awesome news!!

I think you should come clean to DH!! He'll get over it when you hears the news! Plus how on earth will you be able to wait to tell him!!

You're number 2 on the thread!!

BSL x

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!
Could you pretend to be that shocked??????

Obviously I'm over-excited, what I meant to say was either:

when you tell him the news, or when he hears the news! Sorry....

kalikarooooooooooooooooo woo hoo congrats!! you and Dawn need to sprinkle some fairy dust on me! Fantabulous!

If you can keep it all in then give it a try, however i cant fib to my DH, he sees right through me!

OMG congrats!!! You have to tell him, he'll guess when he sees you smiling!! Wow, that is so exciting!!

Kalikaroo definitely PMSL to that one!!

Hey Summerbird, don't you worry, I put a pillow under my hips too and look where I am?!!! Think of it as another form of pilates girls and do your stomach crunches while your hips are up!!! (Actually scrap that, if you squeeze too much, the critters might all come out again - ha ha ha!!!)

Saz, hope you're enjoying being on our thread - it's great fun!! We're all nutters (especially Crunchy, it's not just in the name you know...)

eth Don't worry, apparently critters (the nicer word for sperm.... can stay alive inside for about 72 hours. And they do say that if you want a girl, you're better off doing it for a few days before OV as those critters are slower but live longer, but if you want a boy, BD just before and on the day of OV because they're faster but don't live as long... that's what I heard anyway!!

Thanks PosyFossil!! Now you've joined this thread it will happen for you!!

Big waves and to everyone else!!

xx

Sorry kalikaroo, took me 45 minutes to post the last message so I hadn't seen your new one!!

wooooooohoooooooo!!! Congratulations!! That is such fab news!! So tell me, how many weeks pregnant are you?!!

xxxx

I'm in total shock! It seems so unreal! I've decided to wait til the weekend to confirm that it's a positive, since I don't believe the test 100%...then DH can be there and then
I'll finally believe it!!

God! Can I wait that long though!!!!???????

Is your DH away then?

xxx

Thanks Dawn, I'm liking the thread very much...it seems like a lucky place to be right now!!

Fingers crossed for the rest of us

xx

Congratulations Kalikaroo !!! this is turning out to be a very lucky thread indeed.

Its Thursday today so you don't have long to wait and I'm sure your DH will appreciate being there with you

DH is away on a course until tomorrow and there's no way I'd tell him over the phone!!

If I am pg then I think it will be due at the end of March.

It's weird though because I don't really feel anything - just a tiny bit of discomfort. I feel really hot too, but that might just be the shock!

Oh I see - yes def wait 'til you can do it face to face! How exciting! Congrats again

K, if he's actually away then it's not that difficult to tell a little white lie, so definitely tell him face to face.

Don't worry, I don't feel anything either (apart from the fact that I've got a bloody sore throat but I don't think that's baby related - ). My boobs are tender but that's about it. I only knew something was up before AF because I had an Implantation bleed, otherwise I don't think I'd have known. Felt tired last week, but fine now!

xx

Dawn can I ask about the Implantation bleed - is this like a small visit from AF? Or is it something completely different? I ask as AF didnt stay long on her last visit (only about 2/3 days instead of the usual 5 and was a lot lighter)

Thanks

Kalikaroo - didn't realise he was away!! Yes, definitely do another test together!! I have to say though, I'd burst if I didn't tell DH straight away...

thanks for asking that saz as i dont know either - when does the implantation bleed come? is that directly after conception or just before AF....?

i am so excited for dawn and kalikaroo am really hoping its me this month although am not convinced, only on day 18 today, and off for drinks after work, only want to have a couple as dont want to ruin any chances, my friend said she knew when she was PG as she felt woozy after two glasses of wine!

OH MY GOD!!! Kalikaroo!! Congratulations! I can't believe to of you have graduated to preganant ladies!! I would have to tell my husband straight away but thats because i have a big mouth and he can read me like a book even over the phone he knows stuff! I think hes pyschic when it comes to me! Wow!

SO both of you ladies did the pillow trick eh...? Hmm interesting

unfortunately i dont think any trick will work with me right now as i still dont think im even ovulating yet am going to try reflexology or accupuncture when i get paid tho to get my ovulation up and running!

Congratulations again both of you! Im very proud that your effort have paid off! xx
