TTC awhile now

[BFP2020]

Hey, I've started a more broad thread this month rather than a bus so we can keep it going rather than starting new ones every month.

Here are my stats
TTC no 2 (2 years to have no 1 but we weren't actively trying and I knew nothing about my cycle and DTD not so often)
Cycle 12
AF/BFP 12th Jan
Age 30

Feel free to tag some more @tamalala @Sunflower2019 @ceebee21

Hi everyone, month 3 of ttc number 2. Fell pregnant immediately with my DS who is now 2. Had a faint line on a frer yesterday but nothing today. AF due on Thursday.

[BFP2020]

@itsbeenalongtime Welcome Weird you had a line yesterday and nothing today unless it was a chemical. Are you doing OPK's or anything?

[Dlah]

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd jump on, 32, TTC No 2, been off contraception since Nov 2018, however have issues DTD and have only managed to have full sex once during right window in the last year. Feeling down on things right now, doesn't feel like it's going to happen, DD is 3 and starting randomly saying she wants a sister

Hey all, hope it is ok to post here. We having been ttc for around a year but 10 months properly, I think. We are going through testing in the new year but I have upped my b6 which seems to be regulating my cycle so might hold off on the tests until the spring. I think I am CD12, no ovulation signs yet.

[itsbeenalongtime]

@BFP2020 Yeah, using clear blue opks. Cycles are pretty much clockwork now so don't think I will going forward. I ovulate (static smiley) on day 14 each month. Regular 28 day cycle.

[Tamalama]

Thanks for the add! My stats are as follows:

TTC #2
Cycle 11
Age 39
Af/bfp due 21st Jan

I'm currently CD 6 so I guess I'll be in my fertile window next week... let's see what 2020 holds!

[Toomanydogs]

Newbie here!
TTC #2
Cycle 14
Age 25
AF 02/01

At that point when I know I shouldn't be getting my hopes up, but still can't help it...
Also on holiday until Saturday, extremely remote area and didn't pack any tests, so even if AF is a few days late I won't really know til I'm home!

[Mrssendy]

Hi ladies! Would love to join if that's ok! @BFP2020 thank you for starting the thread. Right so here are my stats:

Age 30 (DH Age 31)
TTC #2 (DC#1 15mo was a happy surprise. So I'm new to TTC, OPK etc.)
Cycle 11
AF/BFP 28th Jan
Regular period and ovulation day
I use ClearBlue OPK and have had 2 cycles with static smile - wonder why we haven't caught the egg yet? anyway!

Happy new year to everyone and hope we'll get BFPs this year!! Xx

[BFP2020]

@dlah I know how you feel and everyone else around you is getting pregnant so easily it's like why is it taking me so long 🙈

Welcome everyone I think this will be a nice thread and let's hope we get lucky in 2020.

All we can do is DTD at the right times and hope for the best. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I found a diary yesterday and in it on 31st December 2018 I'd written that I hope that in 2019 I will have my baby. I was much more positive then and I sit here on the 1st January not sure I'll even have a baby this year.

[BFP2020]

Has anyone had any tests done yet or plan to have them done? X

[Chanel05]

@BFP2020 DH and I have had tests at a private fertility clinic and we are both 'normal'.

[BFP2020]

@Chanel05 what tests did they do?

[Chanel05]

Dh has the SA, I had blood tests to check AMH, vitamin D and TSH and a vaginal ultrasound where it was confirmed I ovulated (knew that already as I chart) and had a healthy egg reserve. The gynae said I have a "beautiful uterus" 😂. Guess it goes to show that it's what's on the inside that counts! 😂

[Toomanydogs]

If no luck this cycle we'll be going to GP for tests. Very light spotting today which is most likely AF starting, so once we're home looks like I'll be giving drs a call!

[Winterbobble]

Hi ladies - please can I join?
Age - early thirties for me and DH
TTC cycle 8 (plus 4 unofficial trying)
Phoning the Drs this week to get the ball roling!
Tried OPK, conception support gel and even SMEP, no luck so far!

Hi! Hope it’s ok to jump on.
TTC #2 - fell straight away with DS but 7 years ago with a different dad
Cycle 13(ish)
Ov today
Age 30!

[Kataa]

Hi, I’d like to join please if that’s ok!
We’ve been actively ttc #1 for 12 months, with over a year of not preventing before that. Have had all the tests and a laparoscopy recently which found and removed some endometriosis, also got diagnosed with underactive thyroid.
We have 6 months now to try to get pregnant naturally until follow up at fertility clinic to consider next steps (I assume that’ll be ivf)
I’m 32 and currently cd 7

[Hola84]

Hi, I'd love to join if that's ok. Been trying for #2 since June 2018, no #1 happened after the first try, hence I guess finding it now quite frustrating and disappointing. Tried the ovulation tests today, around 5pm there was a line, 3 hours later it was gone . So happy to share this, it can be a very lonely journey

[Hola84]

Forgot to add I'm 35, day 10 of my cycle

[BFP2020]

@itsbeenalongtime That's brilliant that yours cycles are like clockwork fingers crossed that makes it easier.

@ChampooPapi Are you hoping for a boy this time? How many kids are you planning?

@Tamalama Have you a DTD plan this month? Are you after ditching the OPK's?

@Toomanydogs Any update with you? Hoping AF stayed away?

@Mrssendy I'm the same as you so surprised we haven't caught the egg yet either I feel we have done everything right we are DTD loads and I know exactly when I'm ovulating. I ditched the OPK's as found they were adding to the always thinking about TTC.

@Chanel05 I was 23 when we decided to ditch the BC and hopefully get pregnant. I never did OPK's and my cycle was a bit random 28-34 days but never really had bad PMS or heavy periods. We weren't the most active couple and I didn't time the DTD it took us 2 years to get pregnant. I then decided to get the implant in (wish I didn't now) and this time last year decided we would take it out and start trying. Because we didn't really try first time round I thought I would get pregnant very fast this time. But instead this time around I had very painful Ovulation 3 days of pressure and stitch like pain and some months 2 weeks of cramps, backache and sore boobs so now the doctor suspects I may have Endo and has referred me. It's so weird how things happen.
