NEWBIES!! TTC baby #1?? Congregate here!!

[Maybe baby]

OH's mum was horrendous (cnt spell that), as usual....banging on and on about us #"comming properly" by this she means a wedding she can plan lol. I told her no and that we had other things we wanted to commit to first....god i really hope i have my BFP for her wedding. she drives me mad and knows all the buttons to push to send me up the wall....bit miffed and down...OPKs not much darker

 

[Maybe baby]

CD12 OPK's so far... will update at 8 xx

 

[Ivana32]

HI everyone, this is my first post EVER and don't exactly know how things work..but not going to make another 2ww ...anyone else testing on the 23rd May ..and how do you get these cute pictures appear in your text!!??

 

[PetiteMoi]

maybebaby - aw hun, your oh's mum sounds like a nightmare! Bet you can't wait till you're pregnant to get her to shut up! How's bd'ing going? xx

Ivana - welcome I'm fairly new to this as well but you'll get used to it in no time trust me To get the smileys, click the 'Go Advanced' button below the message box and then you can pick them.

I so can't WAIT till my next ov date. Might start ov testing on Tuesday (ov should be around 17 May)... how does that work actually - do you test every day and compare how dark the line is?? Or can u just test once?

 

[Ivana32]

These pictures are so cool! Thanks for the tip PetiteMoi! This is my second month TTC and I am not using OPK yet. How long have you been trying and when should I start using OPK?? I feel slightly unprepared now!

 

[BritAcrossSea]

Ivana32 I'm not using OPKs either. This is my first month of TTC and I'm just gonna wait and see. I roughly know when I should be ovulating so just gonna ever other day around my fertile time.

 

[Ivana32]

Good luck with your first month. I was so hopeful about getting a in my first month...It seems that everyone around me got it done the first month trying. Reading this forum really helps!
Anybody tetsing around the 23rd of May?

 

[PetiteMoi]

Ivana32 - oh no hun don't feel unprepared!! I'm just a very impatient person and it feels like I've been waiting for ages to start ttc so I bought some ov tests the other week. My husband and I have only just started and I haven't even had my first ov yet. Not even sure if I'll use them this month but I can't WAIT to get pg so I really want to do my best!

BritAcrossSea - sounds like a good plan, I might do the same but my cycle is a bit irregular so I think it might feel safer to test as well. But we're trying to every other to every third day throughout the cycle, I think that's the way to go!

 

[Ivana32]

PetiteMoi...I know what you mean, been waiting to TTC for SO long and then getting a the first month. Doing everything you can is a good idea!
Are the OPK expensive?

 

[PetiteMoi]

Ivana- I got the advice from someone on here to get them on babymad.com, I got 40 tests for £12 (no idea why I got that many must have got carried away haha) but you can get 10 test for just £3.25. In Boots they were £15 for just 5!! So sorry about your , fingers crossed you get a lovely this time!! I will definitely get my hopes up and set myself up for a huge fall for this first month but I can't help it, I just want it sooo much! xx

BritAcrossSea - loving your avatar btw!!!

[tigger1981]

Hi ladies, havent checked this thread for a while and am amazed at how many people have joined. Thanks to NuKe for starting such a supportive atmosphere for those of us all trying for our first bump. Its been 2 weeks now since I had my implant out, no yet but I had some slight spotting last weekend. No +ve OPKs yet but we are every other day just in case! I have started taking agnus castus and EPO this week to try and kick start my cycle again after not having seen the for 6 years whilst having the implant.

I hope some more of you get your s this month.

[motomama]

Hello, ladies! Just wanted to pop in and see how you're all doing. I can't remember everyone's sn's like Nuke can (too many of you, lol!), but it's nice to keep up with everyone like this!

My temps are still up today (14th day in a row!) so I'm debating when/if I should test! You all know how it is!

Nuke - I do hope that doesn't show her ugly face! She's just not wanted around here .
