Hi Everyone
I have heard sooooo many stories of girls taking ages to fall PG, I guess my body may do the same and it's a fact of life.
But what about all those ladies who fall straight away, perhaps after a month/two months of trying?
I would like to talk with you and see what you experienced?
Hi Bindy, I fell pregnant on the first cycle with my first 2, so if you have congrats!
I fell pregnant 10 days coming off the pill with my 1st born, 4th cycle with my 2nd born and wasn't even trying really with my 3rd born.
Anyway just moving to conception general discussion.
Love
Hey Bindy, I wasn't even trying, there was *one* time we weren't careful and i fell pregnant!
Umm I just fell pg by dtd the day after O. Not planned at all. So no there was no delay for me.
Relle no I am not PG. I am sure I am now 1DPO so I am hoping I caught that eggie yesterday..goodness me I hope I fall PG straight away.
Astrolady you were lucky too! You have also given me hope!
Dee it was meant to be! One time! Wow...!
Trish how special you conceived also. I am hoping I O'd yesterday so I hope I have caught that eggie!
Thanks girls, you are the greatest xxxx
We fell on our 2nd cycle after being on the pill for 18mth. Good luck!
Nessa that's fantastic!! I am currently charting and DTD a bit around this time. My DP is a bit annoyed and feeling like a sperm donor. LOL... xx
Thanks Saram all you girls have given me soooooooo much hope and positive feelings about it all. I must admit I'm a bit scared it will take forever. My DP is 40 now and me only 28.
Just another question, did any of you girls experience "butterflies" or "twinges" in your ovary/uterus area after ovulation...? It might be in my head, unsure lol :doh:
I don't know...it feels like something is happening down there???? I know that sounds strange but I get a "feeling". I wonder if any of you guys just had a "feeling"??
Bindy - I fell pg straight away with my first two, then took 3 months with the third. We had an oopsie last year but MC'd at 15wks. We had taken some time to recoup emotionally and decided we needed to fullfill that emptiness and are now on our second cycle. I am a little concerned about hearing so many ladies have so much trouble TTC and I suppose I just took things for granted. I don't think I am strong enough to even get past 6 months of TTC. The strength that some of these ladies posses is just so inspiring. I wish everyone good luck on their TTC journey.....
Nicambhar sorry about your MC at 15 weeks :cry: I am glad you have had some time now and trying again, good luck. Yes I don't know how I would have the strength some women have in here, it must be hard for many of them. Some have been TTC for years...how terrible :cry: I take my hat off to those in that boat and I hope to GOD it does not happen to us xx
Hi Caro it seems you didn't have too many trouble either. I just am so worried I won't catch it this month and this is the first month we have tried. I really think I'm just putting too much emphasis on it all and I don't want it to rule my life but I really want a baby. I know when AF comes along in a couple of weeks (if I don't fall PG), I am going to be devastated :cry: I will try my hardest to be positive
Bindy - I am with you. I think I will be devastated if it doesn't happen this cycle ( I really want a christmas bubba ).
Right now if I hear DP say "don't get yourself so worked up over it - it will happen" one more time I think I just may loose it.... He is just all too calm about it..
Good luck..
Hahaha Nicambhar if I hear my DP say "it will happen, just chill out" again, I will honestly stop speaking to him! lol...even telling him my fertile days, he just feels like a sperm donor...I so don't think of him that way but being men, they have pretty weird thinking! Best of luck..I also want a Christmas Bubba :clap:
hi there,
i fell pg first cycle of trying and thats with one falopian tube... beleive it or not my right ovary released the egg (right side is missing the falopian tube) and the left falopian tube sucked up the released egg ???? Weird but it does happen.
:dance:
Wow that's amazing Delight, may I ask, what happened to your fallopian tube??
Bindy - My DP thinks that I am out of control because I have joined BB. I think that he should be greatful to BB website otherwise he would cop all of my venting LOL.
Hope to catch up with you again soon.
Goodnight all....
Same, my DP says it should be just between us...but then he doesn't really like talking about CM etc...he thinks it's a bit TMI...so that's why I rely on the girls in here if I have any questions...because it's not like DP has had a baby or anything or can experience what I am going through. I love DP with all of my heart and can't wait for him to father our baby but he's no chick if you catch my drift lol..goodnight, sleep well ;)
Sorry to hear about your M/C Fletch :cry: but wow you must be fertile. All my family are fertile and same on DP's side...I hope we have no issues :rolleyes:
It's good you have never been on pill, that's good! I don't like BCP at all.
Caro I am charting! See my chart if you like. I'm 3DPO it seems. It's funny because we have been DTD lately and I too have put my legs up the while so I'm on a 90 degree angle! I stuff TP on the outside too...so none runs out! LOL!!!!!
Thank you for your good wishes xxxx
With DS I wasn't trying(was only 16!!) and fell preggers straight away(one muck around without protection) and DD I fell pregnant first cycle of the pill.
Good luck I hope you get the positive soon.
Ellie
It is a lot of pressure isn't it. I am finding I am a bit stressed this month from charting. My temps go up and down and because I have not used OPK this month and just winged it, FF has only just told me when it thinks I actually did ovulate. I did have pain on Sunday though all afternoon and leading into the night which was O pain so I'm hoping we have caught that eggie.
Sounds like you have had some good luck so I think that's fantastic! I worry about DP being 40 but I'm sure his SA will be fine.
Have a great day.
Thanks Ellie I hope I get a BFP soon too. I wonder what day I can start testing? I am 4DPO.
Just wanted to wish you a speed BFP Bindy!
If you get the early pregnancy tests (I know foretel is one of them) you can test 5-7 days before an expected period. They only require 10ml of hCG...others require 25 so a BFP won't show up until later. Just check on the box and make sure its 10ml before you buy it.
Its REALLY tempting to test early, but if you can wait at least until AF is due or a day after, your results will be more accurate.
I should know, i'm just about a bonafide PG test expert LOL
Good luck!
Bindy - This is my first cycle charting and I feel like pulling my hair out. FF has moved my ovulation date so many times it's not funny. I am 100% positive that I know the date that I ovulated. If I did ovulate when I think I did, I would be 9 DPO and not 7. Maybe I should test ( yikes, here I go. I don't want to test everyday and be upset over -ve result ).
Thanks FJL for all that information, I was not aware you could test 5-7 days before an expected AF.
Thanks for your wishes...I wish you all the best too!
Nicambhar I wish you every luck too this month. It's so confusing this charting business! And I was positive I O'd on Sunday but FF tells me it was Saturday!!
xx
Hi Bindy,
I went into the TTC thing with the expectation that it could take a long time - we were expecting about 6 months. It's good not to get too stressed about it - it's normal for it to take a while (getting pg in the first couple of months is not that likely).
Having said that, we got our BFP on our 2nd cycle after I stopped taking the pill. I was charting - so I knew when was the right time to BD (and we did, every day, while I had fertile CM). But it was kind of a shock when it happened so quickly!!
I just saw the other posts about testing. If you can wait a bit longer, you will get a more accurate result. I tested when I was 12DPO & got a faint +ve with Assurance Plus. I tested again later that day with Discover Onestep & got a strong result. The other thing you may not know is that you should test first thing in the morning - hormone levels are more concentrated in urine if it's your first pee of the day. (sorry if TMI)
Hi Ezz, no not at all TMI, it's perfectly fine. Thanks for all that information. Let's hope it's BFP. Congratulations to you too! That's just wonderful xxxx
I would like to wish you the best of luck Bindy.
For me, with DD#1 we were TTC for 10 months and had 2 cycles of clomid for the last 2 until we fell pg. I was young and didn't know anything about charting or 'catching the eggy' so that probaby made it longer for us.
With this one, I had found BB, got heaps of info and knew what and when to do it IYKWIM. I didn't chart, didn't temp, but I was concious of my CM and CP. We conceived on the 2nd cycle. I had had the implanon in for 3 years, and then was on the pill for 15months before TTC#2. As it took as so long last time, it was a great surprise to fall pg after the second cycle and I was really shocked as I have PCOS as well.
I guess what I am trying to say is that it can happen anytime, and I just hope for you that you don't have to wait too long. :crossfingers:
I is also good to know your body and know when something is different. With this one, I had really sore BB which I rarely got before AF and my nipples were killing me. That and my high CP were my only signs.
Um....we weren't 'trying' lol. I had been off the pill for 2 months as I was trying to lose some weight and thought that might help. We were using condoms as we wanted to wait a little bit longer so that we could get things sorted around the house. We had an 'oopsy' one time where we got carried away in the moment and what do you know - we now have a 5 weeks old daughter and would not change it for the world!
