I know this is going to sound dumb

......but how many of you out there got pregnant first go?

We're kind of TTC. This month my temp didn't rise untill day 18, which was also in line with a positive OPK on day 16, which in itself is strange cause I normally O on about day 15. anyway I'm only 2nd day after AF is due and have some strange cramp type pains that I don't normally get and basal temp hasn't gone down yet. Pregnancy test last night came back negative.

Here's what I'm thinking......would be 1. wierd new pains bringing on AF, 2. just late AF which would be ok cause then would be sustaining a 14 day luteal phase, or 3. pregnant but not showing on the test.

I think it's just wishful thinking cause how can we be that lucky for it to happen straight away???????

No other signs of pregnancy to speak of, except these crampy pains.

I think i'm over analysing something simple???

help bring my sanity back!

WIth DD i was pg on 3 cycle. With this bub first go.

Good luck TTC and hope to see a BFP soon!!

With my first son I got pregnant the first time but with my second son it took a bit longer.
The first m/c took a while as well. The second m/c I wasnt aware I was pregnant until I lost it, but I we only have unprotected sex once.

Good Luck!

Yep, entirely possible to concieve first go - yes, I know from experience. I get crampy before the BFP, kinda like AF is stuck.
You can be lucky first go but it may still be too early for a HPT to work. Some women do not secrete enough HCG in their urine until 6 weeks - ie 2 weeks after AF is due.
Test in a couple of days time - if it is still BFN and you are usually regular, then I'd suggest go and see your Dr.
Good luck. Hope it is a BFP for you - it just might take a little while to show so be patient. Your symptoms do sound promising.
GIDGET

DH and i had unprotected sex 3 times and i was pregnant 3 times, unfortunately the first two didn't last, but i certainly didn't have any problems falling pregnant. So yup, it is possible.
Good luck.

i feel nervous for some reason....and am trying really hard not to be obsessive about it cause it's only really our first go, and even then it wasn't a conscious 'ok we have to BD now' it was just a good night out to dinner with friends and without really thinking when we got home......BD'd???! I didn't think too much of it untill I looked at my chart a bit closer and realised it would have been perfect timing.

I do, I just feel nervous.....in case you can't tell by my jibbering.

it is sooooo good to have this forum to ask these dumb questions, just excellent to be able to have some support at the touch of a keystroke. I think I'm addicted!! ha ha

Thanks guy - i'll stop yabbering on now - better get back to work - ha

Hi Juleswa!

Its a good question (and I'm glad you asked!).

Im on my first month of TTC as well, and since I had it all planned out (was going to temp, and use OPK and all sorts of things!), and had a spacko cycle...I'm left wondering if I'm pg yet myself!

My mum was pg first time with all 3 of us kids, and hopefully its in the genes.

My problem is I AF, was off the pill as of then, then, 2 weeks later (3 days before middle of cycle, around O time), I AFd again!
So, by my rough calculations (just going by number of days, which isn't really accurate I know), hubby and I BD ON the day I should O!!!! Perfect timing without even thinking about it.
Ive had the sorest BBs I've ever had (to the point that my pjs rubbing on nipples was irritatingly sore!...sorry for the TMI), and I have had AF style cramps for the last 3 days...>AF is due saturday.

I've done a few (yes...a few...I'm a sad sad woman) HPTs but all are BFN.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that you get a BFP in the next few days...

Hopefully by monday I'll have good news myself, but I'm pretty sure, I'll get AF right on schedule.

Also thanks to everyone on the forum for their stories and help, this place is awesome, and I wish everyone lots of baby dust and speedy BFPs!!

We got the BFP on the fourth try (technically the second try though as I only ovulate every second cycle) but Bindy who was in my TTC thread was lucky on the first go. She will probably post here as she lurks the threads a bit and is quite proud of her "first go" story!

This pg I fell pg on the first month of officially trying...

With DS#1 we hadn't planned to fall pg at all.

Hey BabyWrangler,

OK - let's go on this journey together. At the moment I'm going insane thinking one hour to the next maybe I am, maybe I'm not, what was that twinge? I'm overreacting, running to the loo but still no AF, trying to concentrate on work.....all too much. I really am going to drive myself batty. I've decided that I'm not going to do a HPT tonight and will wait for first morning urine instead when maybe the chances of it showing up positive (if it's going to at all) will be slightly better. Although when I get home I'm sure it will be a different story knowing me.

Sounds like you've got stronger signs than i do - i definately don't have BB despite me squeezing them so hard just to make sure!!! ha ha ha ha can you just picture it??? ha ha sorry for mental image

Thanks all for the encouragement. Can I add one more thing in without grossing everyone out? talk about excess wind!!! OMG! maybe I've just eaten something that's a bit stuck, maybe all these 'pregnancy' symptoms will dissappear after a nice poo!! ha ha ha LOL LOL

stay tuned.........

Forgot to say congrats to you all on your BFP's! AWESOME

I came off pill and was half hartedly trying (we had sex 2 times in whole month as hubby was away with work and me working night shift) and i got preg unfortunatly did not stick and had a miss at 8 weeks but it can happen so good luck

Aah Juleswa a fellow insane person would be great (and I mean that in the most loving way!!).

Ive done a couple of HPT and got BFN's....stupid HPTs....yes, Im disgruntled!

And my god the wind...but then, according to my husband, nothing is different there!
The expecting AF...seriously, I'm going to name the toilet at work..I'm in there often enough!!

hey jules, do you have an email address...would be great to email someone who seems to be in the 'zact same position as me!!!

My friend fell pregnant first go bot times she started trying & another friend also fell pregnant first time.

Me, not so lucky LOL!

Good luck Juleswa! And welcome to Bellybelly, i can see you are already addicted like us ;)

With DS we got pg cycle 7, but managed it first go with DD. Then around New Year's I got pg again without trying, unfortunately that pregnancy didn't go anywhere though. Currently on my 5th cycle of ttc for a third but so far no joy, and we are not ttc actively anymore.

Yeah first time happens. I was on the pill for 8 years and my gyne told me it will take 3-4 monthes for the pill to "work" out. So I had thought I had a gap. I got pg exactly one month after I stoped the pill, exactly! (on my mom's birthday!!) We did not go at it like bunnies, we had hectic work scheduals then so it would have been the 6/7th time.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!!!!!

I am day 11 of cycle and confused have had days of watery mucus and times where cervix has been high and times when med or low and temps are not doing naything!!! this is first time of doing all this in last 12 months of trying

trying to BD every 2nd day not always possible just recieved in mail OPK that i ordered

has anyone else had missed body signals like this

No question is stupid, only some of the answers can be.

With DS it was as soon as we stopped contraception, but seven months before we were going to start properly trying, IYSWIM.

Hi guys...I tested this morning, (not FMU....second!) and I got 2 lines, one heaps lighter than the other (but came up within 5 minutes)...I could see it at arms length, but not really sure if its real or not.
Im waiting on some Early tests to arrive in the mail (the really sensitive (10) ones) to test tomorrow.

I had done some digital tests and they came up with one very faint line and the control, but apparently they always do that, and then decide if the second one is dark enough to call a pregnancy.

The one I did this morning was a Confirm Early Pregnancy Test...
Im just not sure if I should get excited or not....lots of AF style cramping still too...Im SURE AF is coming!

I'm another one that got lucky first time :) I think Confirm was the brand that gave me my BFP (after 2 negative tests with a different brand.) I have my fingers crossed for you. My BFP came a day after AF was due to show up properly. Goodluck - I have everything crossed for you :)

Also want to add that I had AF cramps for a few days before and after my BFP.

Sorry to butt in but wanted to say GOOD LUCK :crossfingers::pray:!!!

It sounds like a :bfp: to me as I'm sure the line doesn't have to be the same colour- as long as there's a line there!

My early tests haven't arrived yet, but I just did a First Response one (at 11:40) and same thing...strong coloured control line, and faint second line (but still visible from arms length)....
I have to admit..I did a little bit of jumping up and down...
Still...gonna wait til AF is late before I get too excited!

Juleswa??
How are you going? if you want drop me an email, just email jules@yahoo.com.au

Hope you're well and havent had any visits from AF yet

I think AF is on the way. Had a bit of spotting last night, absolutely nothing all day, except for slight spotting again about half andhour ago. I didn't do a HPT this morning cause I thought for sure AF was coming on. Temp was still high this morning which is strange. I don't think I'm pregnant, but will do another HPT this afternoon when i get home. Unless I want to try to convince myself that the spotting can mean implantation or can still be quite normal when first pregnant....hm...yeah....i might run with that one for a bit more untill AF really comes on full strength (if she's going to come on at all...wink...wink..hmm..hmm) Yep, I'm still in the running I've just decided.....yeah...delusional more like it!?!?!?! ha ha

Yours sounds really promising!!! I think you've done it. From everything I've been reading in these forums, a line is a line is a line!!!! how exciting!!!! woo hoo woo hoo!!!

Make sure you let us know!

I'm not going to be able to log on for a few days now cause I'm not going to be at work untill next week, and yep we're still in the dark ages at home and haven't hooked up internet (I know I know!). I'll try to log in if I get a chance but if not....I'm keeping everything crossed for you and everyone else out there for BFP's

It sounds like it could be implantation bleeding Jules...
Im a bit concerned cause I HAVEN'T had implantation bleeding, and I'm still getting cramps and stuff....I'm not going to get too excited until I see whether AF arrives over the weekend.
Im due on saturday (just calculated through the inaccurate method of counting days!) so I'll do a test with hubby sunday morning if nothing has happened and take it from there.

good luck

If by chance I do get a BFP, then I'll be sure to find a way to log on and let you know. So, if you don't hear from me untill next week, then you know AF has finally come on.

I'll be thinking of ya!

Hello
Im fairly new to this but just wanted to say it sounds to me like a positive test!
a few mths ago the same thing happened to me with one dark line and one very faint line - i wanted a few days and both lines were fairly dark! and i was pregnant (i did the test with the "first response")
Unfortunally i just recently had a miscarriage at 8.5wks - now dont know what to do or when to start trying again!
Good luck with it! let us know how the next test goes!

Hubby and I have re-tested (AF due tomorrow), our :bfp: line is almost the same colour as the control line so we are assuming all is going well.
Off to Doctor on Wednesday for blood test!

Congrats!!

Thats awesome - Congrats

That's fantastic Baby Wrangler! Congrats!

I hope juleswa comes back soon, I'm curious to know how it turned out for her.

Congrats to you :)

I'm getting some weird AF like cramps, and I'm not used to actually getting them :dunno:
My back is sore and my boobs are too - If AF doesn't arrive for me on the Monday (which will make it 7 weeks 3days post m/c) do you think I should test?

OOh I would test, good luck! I have my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks Twin Sister! I've got my fingers, toes and - well everything crossed for me!

Hi Everyone,

I'm back! not pregnant but. AF came on so was just unusually late, but then so was O so I'm happy cause it means luteal phase was keeping up it's end of the bargain. I can honestly say that we weren't really trying at all, but I can say that it has inspired us even at the thought that we could be pregnant - it was quite exciting and husband was quite cute about the whole thing. So, we're going to give it a real shot this month despite the overseas trip next month and just leave it up to whatever happens and whatever is meant to be.
I've been searching on gender selection stuff, cause we'd really like a boy first up. Is that a bad thing in itself to have a preference??? We're not hung up on it, but I thought if there were little things we could try out, then why not. I stumbled on a website called 'choose the sex of your baby' (which does seem kind of selfish to me in a way so I feel a bit bad.....advice???) anyway, has anyone done or heard of this method that works with ph levels of mucus, and special dates?????
Anyway - a big congrats to BabyWrangler!!!! that is absolutely awesome news!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!! How are you feeling?

hope you're all well and having a fantabulous day!

If that's that Martine LeFleur woman or whatever, don't buy it!!!!
I have heard lots of people say it doesn't work and then when you try to get your money back she doesn't answer your emails!

yeah that is the one. Nice to hear some feedback, cause I tell ya those blogs can seem pretty damn convincing sometimes.

Thanks for the input Sara.
