Welcome to Trying To Conceive #1

[Lillyrose20wd]

Hi ladies!

So my husband and I just returned from vacation and I am very eager to start our 5th cycle of TTC! AF seems to be really taking her time leaving the building this month. I plan on using OPK starting Monday which will be CD 9. Last cycle I ovulated day 12 but the cycle before that it was CD 17 so I'm not quite sure what my average day is yet and I don't want to miss the egg

Good luck to all the new ladies joining the thread

Hey everyone!
Does anyone know if preseed really does work? Anyone have any friends who got pregs using it? At this point, I'm willing to try anything! lol
I wonder how long it'll take to ship to Canada tho...maybe not in time for this ovulation

I don't know anybody personally that dhal had success with it, but lots of women on this site swear by it. My husband used it for the first time last month, but we were still unsuccessful. I felt the same way...might as well try everything!

 

[RCAFWife]

Oh ok. Thanks I hope it helps. I found a site that is Canadian so I also ordered some ov test and preg test strips. Fx for me!

hope someone can help! stopped my pill about 4, 5 months ago as my partner and i decided we wanted to try for our first baby together, my period is always on time and should of been due yesterday, i know it's only one day late but it is never usually late, took a pregnancy test and it was negative, am i testing to early?

 

[RCAFWife]

Hey nic18. I heard that sometimes the body takes a few months to return to a normal cycle once birth control pills are stopped. For others, their bodies go back to normal almost immediately. My first month off bc my period was "late" but it showed up a couple days later and the test at the doc's office was negative. But if your cycles off bc have been the same length until now, you could be pregs!! I'd say wait a few more days to test again, like maybe 5 days past when AF would have been due. The HCG needs time to build up to be detected on an HPT Fx for you!! We need to see a BFP on here!

Hi all,

I'm so excited to be a part of TLC #1. Had a breakdown tonight, we are on month 3/4 of ttc and BD was starting to feel like a job we had to get over with for the sake of meeting the quota for the month. That plus the let down of feb, as I was 4 days late. Look forward to my BFP and sharing the journey with you all!

I feel happy for my friend but really frustrated at the same time my husband and I have been trying to conceive our first baby for over a year now and a friend of ours had our marena takin out last month and her and her husband conceived on their first try I think this month we are gonna do the temp. charting again and some opk's cross our fingers and pray if we don't have any luck this month I'm gonna go talk to my doctor

 

[twinkerbell]

Hi Bettyjquinn, I know that feeling all too well and I'm usually not a jealous person at all.
for someone who's been trying for 3 years now, I have been very patient as friends and colleagues around me have fallen pregnant, either accidentally or on the first try. so just a couple of months ago, went to see my doctor and after a couple of blood tests and consultations she put me on Clomid. started the first round this month! I have everything crossed for testing on 25th! I feel like I have earned it now

 

[funnyfriend]

Hi Funny friend, how long have you been trying. Getting the tests done was the best thing I could have done. I wish I had done it sooner. It gave us an answer to why it was not happening and helped me because I knew I was not mad to be worried. We are now just waiting to find out what process they will use to help us.

Been off the pill for nearly 4 years but we've had a lot of stress etc so we are excluding most of that time! We've got our appointment in May and we then get the results a few weeks after... Fingers crossed! Have you heard anything?

Sending lots of baby dust

[xxshellsxx]

I've posted in the 'introduce yourself' section then found this bit lol

More appropriate here i think

Hi all i'm shell, i'm 34 and ttc #1

in my early 20's after 2 years ttc, i discovered that with my now ex i would likely never have my own child. after lots of invasive testing and on the IVF waiting list for ixi, after 9 years together our relationship broke down (not due to infertility).

I'm 4 years into a new relationship with my soul mate who has 2 gorgeous boys and we are ttc.

I'm 8dpo and have had many symptoms - hence looking up weird stuff on the internet as i have never experienced what any stage of pregnancy fells like and wondered if it was all in my head as i wanted it so badly (the mind is a dangerous place lol)

I'm due AF in around 4/5 days (i have a 23/24 day cycle) I've had some spotting which turned into a light bleed for a few hours, so i thought i was out this month, however it has since stopped again and am so confused!! Am i still in or am i out?? feels like the hocky coky right now lol

Anyway thanks for reading and will browse for advice, tips and how to stay sane during this emotional rollercoaster!

Anyone with experiences of the bleeding i would appreciate your comments (or point me to a thread already started) on how it was for you?
