TTC #2 - would anyone like to share the journey?

Oh tango! That sounds hideous you poor things :(

Have you got any medicines or rehydration sachets? Are you eating anything yet?

Ha ha Tango! I'd have to think of you differently if you'd gone out to buy twat Hope you feel better soon and Fx for the potential testing when you feel better!

Welcome Pixie, lovely to have you here. You've had such a hard road, well done for the positive-ness

Not much happening here, still have EWCM (CD16) and DH is feeling a little better, so will be trying to seduce him later! Wish me luck

Oh NO!!

Test not twat. Obviously. I'm too feeble to deal with autocorrect.

Inevitably DP & I went down with the stomach bug last night. Half our belongings are still in the old house, all our belongings are in boxes, we've not been able to do anything, except half-heartedly waft 14mo DS away from all new hazards.

In other news AF is now late (1 day) but a house move and stomach flu will do that. Every joint aches, maybe lurgy, maybe AF. Too ill to go to shop for twat, too dehydrated to POAS anyway.

Hi - been lurking for while - going all in the month bought ovulation sticks for first time so here goes - have 7y old conceived v quickly - got cancer so put baby plans on hold - sept 15 got 5 year clear so decided to try again against odd got pregnant straight away but miscarried just before Christmas - had five BFN since then so roll on cycle 6 !

lovely to here the good news of others gives us all hope - good luck to everyone trying at week end xxx

Get on the wine Mugoo it's the only way! Also Friday = fat tea, HIGNFY, googlebox & graham norton easily pleased me!

Oh god it's so boring having your period and waiting for the whole shebang to start again!

Hi MrsMugoo! Glad to have found a cycle buddy! I'm still feeling a bit :( that we're starting another month. I've used OPKs for the past two months and haven't ovulated until cd19 with af then coming on cd29 or 30. We have a family wedding this weekend but part of my new healthy strategy is to cut back on alcohol - damn ttc!

Welcome Diana - day 3 here, we are cycle buddies!

Hello, can I join you lovely ladies please? I'm cycle day 1 of cycle 4. We have a delightful 3yo dd who was conceived quickly so I feel new to this roller coaster and feeling I have no control of my body! Strategy for this month - be as healthy as possible!

Hi everyone!
I've been quiet but have been lurking!
Congratulations queazy!
Nice to see newbies too - fingers crossed for bfps all round!
Cd8 here, very boring - but get to start peeing on clearblue ovulation sticks soon so that always cheers me up!
Started reflexology last night as my cycles are all over the place and I'm stressing out. Was really good so hopefully it will make a difference.
Good luck to any poas-ers soon!

Good luck with the shaggathon & the job applications carrot - do you use opk's?

Hey LaPampa :) What about using CB digi ovulation kits? Just wee on he stick and get a yes or no to if you should be dtd that day!

And wow - congratulations to you queazy you must be thrilled :)

Oh no tango that sounds like a nightmare I hope DS wakes up better tmrw and good luck with the move :)

CD4 here... Yawn! Lol

Congrats Queazy!

I'm currently cradling a v poorly DS who has been sick 7 times in the last 3 hours. We have removal men arriving at 7am and I'm too busy worrying about watching for symptoms of whatever DS has to be on the lookout for pg symptoms or AF (due tomorrow). Timing couldn't be worse - we were supposed to be finishing packing once DS was in bed but poor DP is doing it single handed.

Feeling a bit rough. Crossing fingers it's not the lurgy, mostly because a house move is going to be a logistical nightmare with a sick toddler let alone sick parents.

Not sure i will get much choice mrsmugoo when DH left for footie I'd
recently got back from a run and dd had a wee all over me not sure that looking sweaty out of breath and covered in toddler urine is much of a turn on

Congratulations Queasy!

Welcome LaPampa - we were pretty apprehensive about 2 'cos things have just got so good (DS 12mo), so we have had lots of talks about whether this is the right time. There are lots of reasons to wait, but more to get it over with - short term pain, long term gain and all that I'm not getting too involved with charting btu I've been looking at the nauseating flower app too, just to track AF and CM. We'll see

I think I'm probably out this month, only CD 14, not sure if ovulated yet 'cos haven't had any pains but DH is ill and we only managed to DTD on CD11 before he got ill. If I ovulated early and didn't know I may have a shot, but unlikely. Never mind, only cycle 1

Sorry to all who've been caught by the witch x

To be honest woundbobbin, nothing wrong with a safety shag but I'd ignore the ovulation dates on those apps - they are only based on "averages". Mine always says I ov on day 12 and it's more like 15/6 which can really make a difference to ttc!

Congrats queazy
No solid smiley face for me yet but nauseatingly awful flower app tells me I'm ovulating today so going for the safety shag later providing DH gets back from the football at a reasonable hour !

It was first month and feels strange after waiting a year last time - crazy. I used the Ovia app and was useful for tracking symptoms.

Side twinges and endless indigestion were symptoms for me. Nausea after ovulation and feeling really run down and coldy this week.

LaPampa - I used clearblue digital ovulation tests last month and they are great and make things really simple. You just start testing around day8/9 depending on your cycle length and they tell you if you're fertile.

I can notice an increase in CM around ovulation but all the creamy/sticky/egg white etc is confusing!

Oh wow queazy! Congrats!
3 grads from this thread already!

I feel like I've forgotten all the things you're supposed to do/look out for when TTC. I've started tracking stuff using a Glow App and it keeps asking me about temperatures and cervical position. We both work FT with daughter at full time nursery and it's hard enough to get out of the door on time (never) without adding all that crap too. Anyone else feel like that?

wow - congratulations Queazy. Literally your first month of trying; that must be great?

Oh my goodness had a BFP this morning

LaPampa that was exactly my concern too, and it's happened first month after taking a year last time. Bit shell shocked today, especially as 18mo had a tantrum-filled morning!
