Me! Ttc #2 Dd is nearly 1, and she was a first time trying baby, so I’m hoping we have luck this time.

I’m into my 2ww now. Excited and nervous!

Hi ! Oh that’s exciting teddy, when are u due to test? Fingers crossed for you!

Have either of you been using opks or anything? Isn’t it difficult not to become obsessed very quickly ?! What’s the plan of action this month?

I got caught in may but ended in ectopic so was allowed from October to start again. Yes I've bought clearblue ovulation tests and this month I've bought preseed as I don't get much cm really. Are you using opks? X

I’ll join! I’m cycle day 6 and have just got high fertility on a Clearblue OPK. Super early for ovulation but I’m going to see what happens 😊 Stee1 so sorry to hear about your ectopic. I had one a year ago too, was bloody awful and had to have my tube removed - have you found your cycles are a bit messed up since? Mine go 24,28,33 in cycles....very strange!

I’m using Clearblue advance tests and have just ordered some conceive plus but as I’m ovulating now I don’t think i’ll get to use it this cycle - fingers crossed I won’t need it 😂

Meeeee! Ovulated 30th December dtd 29,30,31 and 1st but got a feeling not got caught this month don't know why? I've been really poorly with the flu. Today I'm having terrible backache and period type pains so guess I'm going to come on at the weekend as I should xx

Not nice I didn't lose a tube as they caught it early so treated with methotrexate. My periods have usually been 29-30 days so I'm pretty regular I just get light periods although I can't remember my periods before as I was on the implant for 8 years with no periods. I'm hoping this preseed works magic my son turns 9 this year so a big age gap 🙈

I’ll join. First cycle ttc #1 af due Saturday. I swear I have symptoms that I don’t normally feel but think I’m over thinking everything!

If bfn this month next month I’m going to start temping because can’t pinpoint exact ovulation day with the test strips.

Good luck to you all 😊

Stee and trytry sorry to hear you went through ectopic pregnancy, must have been so tough. I hope that you get your bfps really soon. Yes I’m going to use opks this month but won’t start them to CD 7/8 probably! I was so much more laid back when TTC my ds!

Patiently waiting for ovulation so we can get down to it! Should be soon but my cycles have been a bit erratic recently with moving house, holidays and Xmas.

Good luck to all!

justanotherday4 thanks 💐 I hope so too 🤞 I decided to test OPK at CD 4 as I just had a feeling I was going to ovulate early this month. DTD as much as possible (twice this morning hehe). Will test from 9DPO because i’m Obsessed 😂

I'll join. TTC #3 on month 8 of trying and due to ovulate in the next 2 days.

Me and DP have decided to stop the ovulation tests, temping and DTD on the 'best' days and we are going with 'if it happens then it happens' approach. I am still continuing to take my seven seas trying for a baby vitamins but purely to help get my body healthy and baby ready for if and when it does happen.

Good luck ladies x

The whole process just seems to take so long doesn’t it! I’ve had a hellish couple of days in work so am taking the good of today only being cycle day 6 and enjoying a large glass of red! What day do you all typically start with opks?

CD 4 ttc#2 and we've been trying for about 6 months ish but last cycle was my first attempt at doing it on the right days etc.
I hate cheapy opks so thinking of getting a cb one. How do they work?

Me too! Cycle day 12 today, being showing highs on the CBFM since day 8 but it's my first cycle using it so not sure if that's right. Hoping for my peak this weekend, possibly a bit later as cycles still longer after coming off the bcp.

Still high for me may get my peak tomorrow when we are away with 26 other people sharing a dorm 😑

We're on month 4 TTC our first - and I'm almost 40 so there's just something nagging in the back of my head saying this is never going to happen.

However, I used OPKs this month and finally got a solid smiley for the first time ever - so my body is evidently doing something right. Ironically that coincided with the only 36hr period when neither DH or I have been in bed with flu-type thing so we DTD a couple of times. Now halfway through the 2ww, with slightly more hope than usual...

Yay for the positive opks ! Af just finished here so will be starting with opks myself soon and really going to try dtd more often to give us half a chance!
