Ttc #1

[iangelbaby03]

Hi there! I am currently TTC my first child and I would love to have some ladies to share this experience with. I am very new at this and would appreciate any help! I just stopped my bcp 2 weeks ago and I am waiting to start ovulating again.

Hello. I have been ttc #1 for 3 years on and off. Hoping for my bfp this cycle. Looking for a new ttc buddie.

Hi! . My husband and I are both 23 years old and ttc our first. We started last month but I got AF yesterday, so I am on CD 2. Praying and hoping this cycle will be a BFP. I'm new to this whole thing as well, so it is awesome seeing and being able to talk to other women in the same situation as myself!

 

[iangelbaby03]

Awe I am sorry about AF showing up Ahughes. :/ I hope you have better luck this month!

I am still waiting for my body to do something.....anything!
It's been over 2 weeks since I stopped my bcp. I have read that most women experience withdrawal symptoms of some sort but my body is doing nothing different.

And hopeful12be, I am hoping you have good luck this cycle!

Thanks for replying ladies! I am happy to be able to go through this with you!

iangelbaby, I didn't get any BCP withdrawal symptoms either and got a period after 5 weeks. My body still seems to be adjusting, and I've now been off the pill for just over 2 months. CD1 today and hoping for a cycle that I can work with! My last one was 32 days with a long FP and very short LP.

bluebird44 So have you been ovulating? I haven't seen any signs of it happening with me. I bought OPK's and have been checking my cm but nothing yet.

Glad to know it is not just me that didn't have withdrawal symptoms.

iangelbaby, welcome! It's quite the rollercoaster ttc, but we're all here for support!
I would think it would take awhile for your body to adjust to being off bc. I went off last December, but we did not start trying until April so it's hard for me to say. I did not have any symptoms from coming off the pill, and my periods stayed the exact same. Once we actively started to try, I was able to get pregnant right away. Unfortunately I lost that baby at 13 weeks. I'm optimistic though!

My advice for you coming off bc, is to not drive yourself crazy lol. Our bodies go at their own pace, not the pace of babyandbump, or others. And it's easy to expect ourselves to fall right back into the way it "should be". But it's important to just relax and let it happen as it happens. It may take time, a few weeks or a month for your body to be ready to support a baby after the pill. So just be mindful of that, and don't put pressure on yourself for something you can't control.

Just smile and enjoy

Hello! OH and i are both 29 and I'm currently on cd5 of my first cycle ttc! Nice to meet other ladies in the same boat!

 

[iangelbaby03]

Thanks for the advice sunshine2014! I really appreciate it. And I am so sorry about your loss

Gosh, I feel so impatient. I know it hasn't been long but I can't even get started on counting cycle days or anything because my body is at a standstill. Bleh.

Hi, I am 24 and ttc just starting first cycle this month, very excited but also nervous, as I don't know how long I ll be trying. Think I should be ovulating next week, have just started charting.

 

[jaspie]

Hopefully ovulation won't be long iangelbaby. Could be any day now.

Hi Peasandcarrots I'm due to ovulate next week too. Also my first cycle and feeling a mix of super excitement and nerves because I don't want it to take long!

Hi! This is my very first post. DH and I are TTC #1. We're both 30 and this is my third cycle of trying. Currently 10dpo and going crazy! Going to test on Saturday. My body always has little twinges and symptoms every cycle, so every month I say to DH "I think it happened!" And then BFN and AF arrives. Especially stressful because I have a long cycle, a little over 6 weeks each time. So I'm always WAITING. Though I did think I had IB at 4dpo. A little drop of brown once when I went to the restroom. And a couple of days ago a really sharp pain in my ribs that lasted until yesterday, but maybe not related. It's comforting to read everyone else's journeys and know that no matter how hard I try, I just won't be able to tell if I'm pregnant or not until I get to take the test. Nice to e-meet you ladies!

 

[jaspie]

Fingers crossed you get your bfp on Saturday keysquared! I always notice twinges in my luteal phase too even when I know there's no chance of being pregnant and it's definitely not symptoms so I'm worried about how crazy I'll get when there actually is a chance!
I feel for you with the extra waiting, this week waiting to ovulate is going slow enough! Ttc is all waiting all the time!
Your 4dpo spotting sounds good though and the cramp! Keep us updated!

I got my first positive result on my OPK's yesterday!
Wish me luck!

 

[Ahughes]

Good luck!! I got my first positive ovulation on Sunday and then another one this morning! Here's to hoping we get a BFP this month!!

I got my first positive result on my OPK's yesterday!
Wish me luck!
