TTC #2 April BFPs

See how you feel then @newmama2018 - I understand the feeling of not wanting to miss a cycle though. Rooting for you!

@sodababy2 due to endometriosis my cycle is in two parts and I have two ovulation peaks and two periods. I usually ovulate anywhere between day 8 and day 20 so it's not exact. Ovia says I'm a 7.5 today and my opk are not dark yet.

Online research has mixed reviews. I'm not sure OH wants to do anything because it was o my yesterday I had surgery. After three years though I'm reluctant to miss a month.

@mayago it means waiting up till 1am till the golf finishes and I didn't sleep last night. I'll work through the pain though 😆 it hurts a lot I won't lie. Just don't know if this month is a write off

I'm due to test Saturday if I'm following Ovia. AF due around the 11th! And yes, I have bought a pack of FRERs... Cramps and spots mean I'm obviously preggo, so yes, the crazy has already set in here

I'd BD newmama. It can't hurt, unless it's not comfortable for you, of course.

Did they say anything about sex @newmama2018? I'd probably give your body a bit of a chance to heal but if you don't want to miss a cycle then maybe just wait a few days if CD9 is early for you?

@sodababy2 it's where they do keyhole surgery under general anaesthetic to look inside your tubes. They flush it out with dye to check for blockages and I had endometriosis cut away too. I have three little incisions because they had to use more than the camera.

Just don't know if it's worth getting it on tonight and having practice sex. I'm cd9 so shouldn't be ov yet but not sure if the surgery will make it a dud month anyway.

Sorry @newmama2018 not sure what a laparoscopy is. Is it for fertility? Isn't there a test where they put dye round your tubes and it can help fertility as it flushes everything out?

Yes pink acupuncture is for fertility. I'm not really certain I believe it but it makes me feel like I'm doing something.

On the other hand I got pregnant with DD on second month of acupuncture after 8 months TTC before then. Same this time round - tried for 4 months then did acupuncture and got BFP 2 months later (but obviously lost it). She also knew I was pregnant this time too. So maybe there is something in it?

Hi everyone! How are we all this evening?

I had my laparoscopy yesterday and wondering if it's worth BD tonight as I'm cd9 or if this month won't work because of the dye.

Welcome to largepinot and knittinggurl.

Who is our next tester?!

Soda, is the acupuncture to help with TTC? I've heard that that and reek can have benefits.

Welcome @largepinotplease and @Knittinggurl

Oh no on the tests @mayago! I'd be wasting more money on FRERS..... When are you due to test?

I think I'm 5dpo today. Got acupuncture tomorrow and feeling ok at the moment but I know the crazy will set in properly next week

largepinotplease hey there! FX for you that you wont have to be on this bus beyond this cycle as you get the xmas baby you want

Haha I am so worried about Xmas baby CatRen keep thinking about maybe we should put this cycle on pause but cant bring myself to suggest it to DP. If we fall this cycle DD would be 1st Jan (my birthday!) which is nice but I fear #2 will come early like #1! And as for the TWW, I am just a mess the whole cycle apart from when AF is around haha!

Hi All, I'd like to jump on board if I may 😬

DS 18months

Been off the pill since late November but didn't officially start ttc until January. I really thought last month was the one but unfortunately not. I ovulated last Thursday and I'm just coming to the end of the first week of the tww. I can test on the 12th as AF due the 13th (all according to my app) as I have a 31 day cycle (again according to the app) I'm really hoping for a bfp this time as it'd be lovely to have a Christmas baby. It only took 3 cycles to conceive DS but it's been harder to find the time and energy this time round 🙈

Good luck all 🤞🏻

Twittle I've come to realise the First Response tests in the pink wrappers are FRERs, and the white ones are FRRR. And you can guess what I have multiples of upstairs ..

Knittinggurl bless you, I am the same, DS was an accident (one time no protection was used too!) so certainly was shocked this is taking so long. Can't believe that its so common to take over a year to conceive still.

CatRen27 ah thank you! Perhaps my cycle will be going back to being short like it was a few years ago! Used to be 26/27 days past year its been 29/30 days

Thanks @TwittleBee and @CatRen27 - fingers crossed for you too - and everyone else on here

No I didn't struggle with DD, it was quick - I got really lucky and I'm only realising now how lucky I was. Rationally I knew it was really likely to take longer a second time but in my heart I'd got my hopes up unrealistically high. Wishing Baby dust for everyone this month

HidCat FCK! Just realised you are right! Means ones I have indoors already must be too NOOOOOOO! Why would we need a Rapid response bloody hell!

Anyone know if its usual to ovulate a few days earlier than normal btw? Wonder if the relaxation of not being at work for 5 days is bringing ov on earlier for me? Had lots of EWCM today and had a skin break out yesterday (which usually happens 3 days before ov)

@TwittleBee watch out in Asda though as all the ones I ever visit only stock the Rapid Response, not the early response! Make sure it says 6days earlier on the packaging! Can you tell I got caught out on that one lol.

YassQueen lovely hope you got in plenty of DTD!

Knittinggurl hi there! as CatRen27 rightly pointed out any amount of TTC is tough! Hope you get your BFP soon lovely.

CatRen27 Did oyu have plenty of DTD before Ovulation though? I'm sure timings will still be okay! FX!

We DTD last night, I should be ovulating in 5/6days! I've decided I'm giving in this month and just admitting I need to stock up on FRER from asda rather than going for last minute runs to pricier stores to get them because I cannot resist them HAHA

Please can I join too?

I'm on CD 17 today and had my peak OPK 48 hours ago so I don't think there's anything more I can do this month. AF due 17 April.
I know many others have been TTC for much longer - I'm so sorry to hear your stories. Still getting me down a bit now tho....

Cat I think they're 25mIU/ml as opposed to like 6.5 for FRERs. The packaging says not 6 days early, but effective from the day of missed period, or something like that. Such a rookie mistake!! I'm also out of ICs, and don't want to stock up as I'd rather just be pregnant already! And I have 4 or 5 FRRRs and a couple packs of digitals I couldn't resist when there was a special offer...

Sounds like this thread will be quiet as all the positive OPKs will mean people have better things to do over the next couple of days...

Also - how lovely to read DTD bringing you together this month Cat TTC can do the opposite here!!

I've just started using FF based on the recommendations here so thanks all hopefully it'll be better than Ovia which I find really off.

Just had a positive OPK so thankfully haven't missed ovulation. DH just grinned when I told him
