Bare with me I'm not quite with the abbreviation lingo yet so apologies.
I'm 31, and hoping to be adding to my family asap. I'm on my second month of trying after having my coil removed. I've never really had periods whilst using the coil and unsure about my cycle so we've just been having sex a lot and hoping for the best. I began what I think was my first AF post coil on Friday.
So if anyone is as obsessed with me about ttc and wanting to chat please do. It's hard keeping all this at bay with my friends and family.

I truly don't no my cycle and had just started the online calculator thing that helps you conceive .
I had my coil removed early this year but our sex life is basically non existent Confused as have 4 year old in our bed xx

Hi Laura,

Oh my goodness, that's crazy! What are your normal cycle lengths and which day of it did you have sex? Sometimes people can ovulate later than they think and some can get a positive after implantation at 6-7 days so it may be that you are! I've ovulated a week after the app said so it might be that you're the same! I'd be buying a ton of tests right now haha!

XxLaura37xX · 05/11/2016 09:56

Hi hope don't mind me joining in xx
I have no idea about abbreviated text but I'm reading between the lines with some blanks xx
I started an ovulation calculator online as going to be trying in January but missed my period have taken pregnancy test and has came back positive 2-3 weeks , my problem is I didn't have sex then and had sex 1 week from period due. Going by online calculators would be a miracle and now think I'm in early menopause !!
Booked scan for Wednesday but just need to tell someone as we are keeping to ourself for now , I soooo don't understand how it all works and upset a min thinking I'm taking early menopause .
I hope you are all lucky with your calculations and efforts and not driving you too insane as I'm round the bend already and was meant to be starting January xxx

How's everyone feeling? Anybody ovulating yet? I got a positive ov stick yesterday but I thought I ov the week before! Looks like the app was wrong and hopefully my periods are becoming more regular after the pill! So all my efforts last weekend were wasted and we only DTD on Wednesday and then last night when I realised so I'm not feeling very positive for this month. I can already tell the waiting for 2 weeks is going to drive me crazy! Fingers crossed for everyone!

Well AF has left town, I downloaded an app to help me keep track of my cycle more, if things go to plan then my window starts from Sunday with ovulation due on the 10th. This is a good window for us as we're at a concert on Sunday night so a cliche "you were conceived after a concert" is great and it's OH B-Day on the 10th so I've got a good positive feeling about this cycle.
So I can test around 24/11 all going well.
I feel good for having a game plan 😂

I'll join in too if you don't mind. Starting cycle 4. 39yrs old and ttc #1 with dh. Thought we'd managed it in last cycle as I'd loads of symptoms, but have negative tests and now af has decided to pay a visit. So onto another month of trying waiting and hoping Smile

Hey ladies,

I'm in my first proper cycle of TTC. Came off the pill about 3 1/2 months ago but used protection up until the wedding/honeymoon 3 weeks ago. I think I just missed ovulation then though and am coming up for my first hopefully this week/end. I'm trying to be really casual about it all but the more I think about it and read up it seems less easy! I've been keeping a record of periods since the start of the year, learned about cervical mucus a few days ago and have already bought a pack of OPKs to make sure I do ovulate this week. Already feel crazy Confused sorry to hear about MC! Good luck to everyone, FX Smile

It's frustrating Isn't it. I don't know if I'm coming or going, I'm hoping it's straight forward, have loads of sex, get pregnant and all be easy. But the back of my head says you're older, you're tired without pregnancy, it won't be that easy and straight forward.

I'm also ttc #4. Mine are 12, 11 and 8. Will be #1 with new partner though. Now on cd 62, lots of bfn. No sign of AF.

Wife1985 · 01/11/2016 15:46

About 6 and half weeks but we couldn't be sure because I never missed a period so we had to use the last known period but they said my sac only looked 5 weeks. Mine are 9,5 and 2
