TTC- First timers

If you are TTCing for your first baby, please gather here.
Lets share our frustration... well that is the least we can do besides trying :-)
all other, moms, please share your TTC#1 experiences.
(Accidental parents -> you are lucky)

How many months have you been TTCing
Myself: 7 going towards 8

I am soo frustrated, sooo jealous when someone talks abt their kid/expected baby...
I feel like it is such a long/unpredictable process....
Is it just me? or everyone (or most of them) sail in this boat??

It could be to early to test!! don't get your hopes up.. a lot of women dont get bfp's until about 6 -8 weeks... do you feel any different this cycle?

My friend just found out she is pregnant.. called me today and told me about it and explained how she doesnt even know if she wants to keep it since her and the father have split up recently. Hearing  this is frustrating.. bc the people who dont want kids get them!!!

that is pathetic.
I seldom hear such things/abt not wanting to keep kids, but it definitely annoys me.
Why should God to this?  why cant He bless people with kids who WANT them?

i have been ttc for 2 years and 9 months.  I'm going in for my laparoscopy tomorrow as a final test as my partner is all clear and fine.  If nothing is found it will be IVF in 2 years time unless i conceive before then due to unexplained infertility.

I have had every pre-pregnancy symptom you can think of, i also get really bad cramps during ovulation and during AF where i can't move off the sofa or ttc with my partner.  i also get brown/pink discharge anything from 10 days before AF is due which is pretty emotional.

My main advice to all of us ladies ttc is wait until AF is at least a week later before testing and do not stress, have fun ttc as tracking ovulation and BBT can take it's toll.  Have soem romantic nights with your partners and don't turn ttc into a chore it can lead to many arguments lol  Best wishes and loads of baby dust to all of us women ttc
