About to go into my fertile week and will be testing 29th jan 🙂 this is my 4th cycle trying for my 1st.

Anyone want some company while we enter into another TWW? 🙂

I'll be your pal! I'm heading into my fertile week, either Friday or Saturday will supposedly be my OV day. Supposed to test on the 24th but I know for a fact I'll be POAS from early next week as I have no self restraint. This our first cycle, second baby.

@HalfPenny28 I am due to ovulate tomorrow according to fitbit ( was accurate last time I fell pregnant in October, sadly miscarried on 18th November) and have been busy DTD since Thursday, will keep getting busy til Wednesday then period will be due 21st so I'll be right there with you!! Probs symptom spotting away and desperate to test!

I'll tentatively join you. I'm only on CD3, but have short cycles so am due/will be testing at the end of the month.

I'm counting this as cycle 1 of trying for #2. We already have a 5 y/o DS.

I do!! I'm on CD 4 and ovulating between 16th-18th (everywhere says something different)! I'll be testing when you do. I'm actually hoping to test on 27th with a FRER although I know will be early. Due on 1st Feb. I hate all this waiting. What app do you use to calculate ovulation day or do you use strips?

We do SMEP based on the date calculated by my Fitbit (which has been tracking my cycles for nearly 18 months now). We've caught first time both previous times (but had a MMC then a CP) so it seems pretty accurate.

I pee enough money away on hpts, I couldn't justify OPKs as well at this stage!

Looks like there's a few of us getting ready to test the end of the month 🙌🏼
We tried SMEP last month but no luck! Trying to have a more relaxed approach this month.

I use pre seed and take folic acid but that's about it!

I will be testing around the 29/30th!

I will also be testing in those dates! If not before because I'm too keen. I'm about to enter my fertile week too but this is my first time using OPKs so may change!

How long has everyone been trying? I’m on cycle 16. Taking folic acid, evening primrose oil before ov and my myo-inositol (few people recommended it in my last thread so let’s see?). Anyone tried that or evening primrose oil before?

@Sparkle2020 this is our 4th cycle now, due to ov Friday so going to start dtd tomorrow.

I take folic acid and use pre seed but that's about it. Changed my eating this month though to include a lot more fruit and veg and a lot less dairy to see if that helps?

I was taking vitamin d up until About a week ago.

Hi, I'll join if that's ok. Hoping to test on the 19th/20th at 13DPO. Second month ttc after a miscarriage so can't bear to see a negative, which is why I'm leaving it so long ☺️ sending luck and baby dust to you all x

I'm on a similar timeline as well, second cycle TTC #1. Last month everything went pear-shaped as I was flying a lot around the holidays, which meant I had a lovely 36 day cycle, but usually after one of those nutsy ones, my next is pretty "normal".

I'm due to ovulate tomorrow according to trackers...DTD three times thus far, hoping to squeeze one more in before waiting...then AF due on the 24, so hopefully I can make it most of that way without driving myself crazy symptom spotting. Taking some hand-me-down close to expiry pregnancy vitamins and some additional calcium just to help boost my reserves...

I'll be testing too, same time. First cycle of clomid. TTC 2 years, first pregnancy. Fingers crossed for everyone. I'm new to posting but have been reading for a while now.

Hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ can I join? AF is due 29th Jan so will probably start testing around 26th-27th because I am the least patient person in the world 🙈 On cycle 2 ttc #1. This month we're giving DTD every other day throughout the whole cycle a go.

Sparkle2020 · 09/01/2020 14:01

Anyone on her tried maca powder? I’ve just started taking it, fertile window starts today though so probably too late to work but we’ll see

Not heard of that, Sparkle. What's it supposed to do? I'm just taking folic acid and normal vitamins.

Hi everyone hope it's okay I join - just entering my fertile window tomorrow so I'll be testing on those dates. We've been DTD today and Tuesday just to keep our bases covered and will aim to do it every other day during the window. Baby dust to all - hope we get some positives at the end of the month!!

Hi guys
I will be testing at this time too but we have been very relaxed with trying this month as we weren't meant to start until Feb!
Both me and DH are 30. Currently using the flow app to track ovulation but have ordered some OPK too!

Hey can I join? Cycle 4, I'll be ovulating early next week and testing around 26th.... I drove myself wild with indents last month so I'm trying to keep some calmness this month about this TTC malarkey!! It's all I can think about recently I've become obsessed with wanting to know how long it's taken my friends and people I know to get pregnant but obviously not asking.. hope it's all our month and we all get our BFP xx

TTC #1, cycle 6, AF due 26th.
Ovulated today but DH working away since Tuesday, so chances are slim! One day he will be home at the right time 🤞
Good luck everyone!

Hi all.
I’m trying to conceive 2nd baby. Been 6 months now. I have another week to wait.

I find the waiting torturous...
