It's our first month TTC. Does anyone wanna be buddies?

[poetgal]

Hi ladies!
I've been really enjoying reading so many insightful threads and I am extremely excited to join this community.

My husband and I have been together for 6.5 years (Married for a little over 3) and this is our first month TTC. We've been talking for a long time about having kids, but about a year ago we recently had a cross country move and we wanted to make sure we were stable in our new city before attempting, as we had both quit our jobs to make the move happen. When he told me I could stop taking the BCP, I ran out and bought prenatal vitamins and began looking up all the advice I could online. I decided against temping this month as I wanted to try to take it easy for the first month or two and see what happened. I think he wanted to kind of just take it easy anyways, but I'm the one tracking cycle days and possible ovulation days.

This month was my first month off the BCP. I had a real period right away (thank goodness) and tracked from there. Two weeks after I had the EWCM and BD'd the first day I saw it. I've had some symptoms that are unusual for me, but I'm trying to keep a sane head. I've tested a few times because I am way too impatient and have gotten BFN, but AF isn't due until next Tuesday, so I just need to wait a few more days.

I wondered if anyone would like to chat/be a TTC buddy with me, as most of my friends live in other states and no one I know is TTC at the moment. I feel kind of alone and don't have a lot of people to talk about regarding this and this month am already having a hard time keeping my head together. I know most people don't conceive the first month of trying, but it's so hard not to get built up that first month. Anyways, let's chat!

Hi,

Same Pinch.
This is our first month while we are TTC.
i think its 5dpo. Whats you status and what all symptoms are you getting.
I'm having constant backache from last 2 days and i'm feeling some cramps also. I hope i get
I'll be checking at arounf 25 Dec.

Sorry it took me a long time to respond! It's been a frustrating last few days.
I ended up getting a BFN the day AF was due and held out hope that my normal AF symptoms didn't come. But then later that afternoon I started what I can only assume is AF. It's been super light spotting to the point it doesn't even seem like a normal period. So I don't know what to count it as at this time and it's stressing me out.

A few days after my estimated O day, I felt this weird cramping that felt "full" in my uterus/pelvic area. It was really uncomfortable and felt worse and more sore when I sat down or laughed and coughed. It finally went away. Then, I had weird nipple stuff that happened. Super tingly and itchy, the edges of my areolas looked like they were darkening, and it looked like my Montgomery glands were sticking out and I never noticed them like that before. Felt tired for a few days. And a few other random things I think I was just attributing to possible pregnancy symptoms but weren't.

How about you? How are you feeling? Lots of baby dust your way!

That may be implantation bleeding may be.
I would suggest you to test again after 2 or 3 days.

My AF is due on 29. Cramping and backache is stopped now.
lets see.

Hi,
Good luck on trying . I would love to chat with you throughout your journey. I kind am trying to. I just decided to stop using bc once my last depo shot ran out. Lord knows that has been frustrating as it seems to be taking forever for my cycle to regulate. Hopefully your cycle regulates quicker than mine...

Sorry ladies that I am horrible at responding. AF came on super heavy a few days after the spotting started. I've come to peace with the first month not happening, though I was pretty bummed and let down for the first few days afterwards.

How is it going for you ladies?

rockstar: is this your first cycle of the depo shot? Are you glad to finally be off? I'm so thankful to not be taking the pill anymore! Overall I feel better not putting those hormones in my body on a daily basis.

shiv: how are you feeling? Any new symptoms?

I actually stopped taking the depo in october like that's when my last shot supposedly ran out. Im ubber excited to not be on anything because this is my first time not being on bc for more than 2 months since i started it. I hate the whole regulation process though, its enough to drive you nutty. I thought it had regulated earlier as i had two periods come on their own around 28 days apart but im now on cd 65 as mother lets me know she isn't finished regulating yet. what type of bc where you on?

Hey poetgal!

April will be my first month ttc although, for me, I don't know how reliable symptom spotting is... I had sooooo many symptoms last month but I think I was just stressed/ overly hormonal/ unwell..

Good luck ttc!
