Can I join!

TTC #1
Cycle: 5
Cycle day: 3
Af/bfp due: 12th Dec if I’m on a 40 day cycle like the last one (very erratic at the moment)

Completely gutted by AF this weekend, used preseed this month, BD all over presumed fertile period and was quietly confident it might be this month Sad

My best friend is due any day now too so I was hoping for good news Sad

Hello ladies,

I'd like to join 😊😊

I sadly had to have a TFMR with my first at the end of August. Baby was poorly and had a condition that was not compatible with life.

Our appointment to discuss the post mortem (and hopefully be given the go ahead to start TTC again) is next Friday.

According to my app, my first fertile window after our appointment will be late Nov/Early Dec. Fingers crossed for a pre-Christmas BFP.... my fingers are crossed for everybody!!!! X x

@WildFlower2018 sorry to hear that Flowers fx for you.

@Wifelife I also had a go at pretty much everything last cycle with no success. Statistically speaking,we’re both due a bfp by the end of this year based on how long we’ve been ttc! That’s my thinking for this cycle to get me through until fertile week.

We're supposed to be "leaving it to chance", but who on earth is laid-back enough to actually do that?!

TTC#1, first cycle! Waiting till after my birthday at the end of November, for the sake of an arbitrary starting place.

AF would be due on the 25th Dec. This will be an interesting Christmas!

Any tips for a newbie?

I'm going to jump on tentatively-
TTC #1
Cycle number 5- following miscarriage in July
Awaiting biopsy results following a dodgy smear- they couldn't see an area they need to treat so praying everything is ok or I'll have to have treatment and wait for a clear smear- 6 months time 🙄

Let's all prey for a Christmas miracle! 🎄

Hi ladies, can I jump on please?

New to mn, DP and I have agreed to TTC in Dec! Been keeping it to ourselves so will be nice to talk to people in the same boat as us - we are the first of our friend group/ close family to TTC.

TTC #1
Cycle 1

Came off the pill in Sept. Last cycle was 38 days long so bought some OPKs to try and track ov dates. AF hopefully due 1st Dec but not sure what will happen as only 2 months off the pill...

Wishing for Xmas baby dust for us all Grin

@lattelover22 I know the struggle. That's how I missed what I would have called Cycle 1 as OH was away with work. We still DTD around the fertile window (but not during the fertile window lol) so still a chance for a Cycle-0 bfp if ovulation happened to be a few days early or late.

Hoping for some luck this time as he's taken a week off work end of November. Catching the fertile window is getting trickier than I thought.

@Mrss2018 Hope all goes well for you. You deserve the bfp after everything you've been through. Fingers crossed for you and a little prayer for an Xmas miracle Smile

My OPKs arrived and the instructions say that you have to leave your pee to stand for 20 minutes before testing - is this right?

Can anyone who's used OPKs before enlighten me?
