TTC First Baby Massive Thread.

@FlapJackered I was actually part of a clinical trial so I followed their instructions which was once per day with FMU. No problem getting the highs but no peaks whatsoever. I haven't bothered with OPKs for a few cycles now. I don't track anything nowadays, I just go by what the Ovia app says will be my fertile week.

@delilah7 you’ve definetely not missed the boat, from a positive you have between 12-48 hours until you ovulate! Very much still have time to get some DTDing in

@cupcakesandglitter watery stuff is good! I normally get that just before the ewcm.

@Delilah7 3 times is a good amount and definitely enough to cover bases!

@ValidUser well done on sticking to the mocktails, not sure I could be that restrained. 🤪
When do you think you will test? Keeping everything crossed for you!

@Charm23 I think opks don't work for everyone. I am pretty sure I have ovulated this cycle as my temps are up but still on a flashing smiley with clearblue. If you search there seem to be loads of people who got pregnant with only negative opks, I wouldn't bother with them if they didn't work for you. Did you do them more than once a day?

Had anyone else struggled to get results with OPKs but has regular cycles?

I've used cheapy OPK sticks in the past and never got a strong positive line. This was doing one a day until I got a vvfl, then twice a day.

Also tried Clearblue digital OPKs and only ever got high readings, no peaks.

Don't know what to think? It was causing me to stress out a bit so I gave up tracking anything.

Anyone else had similar experiences?

Hi ladies. Checking in on the new thread!

Age: 31
Cycle: 2
Had my implant out in July.

On CD8 today and according to Flo my fertile week starts tomorrow, so we’ll be aiming to dtd every two days. That was supposed to start today but we’ve been out all day and had a huge dinner and we both feel too full and tired to do anything so it’ll have to start tomorrow!

@MrsC87 technically I seem to always have a 27 day cycle, but also had a 31 day one last month (AF came 14 dpo) and if she came 14dpo this cycle it'd be a 25 day cycle, so would come on Tuesday.

Basically, I really don't know! Hope she doesn't get you tomorrow.

Yep FX for us both. When is AF due for you @ValidUser

@MrsC87 on and off!

We might still be in.

Going to wait until Monday/Tuesday as last night I got a bfn @cupcakesandglitter
Aww Happy Birthday to your dh @ValidUser, I'm due today and 14dpo, and although I spot normally in the run up to AF, it's is never this long 🤔 do you normally spot @ValidUser?

I bet AF will actually turn up tomo and I've jinxed myself 🙄

@MrsC87 I think we've synced. I'm 10 dpo, spotting this morning and it's DH's birthday today!

@Delilah7 that's not bad at all though!! Just try and do it when you can 😊 have you had any CM yet? Xx

@MrsC87 fx for you!! Are you going to test in a few days? Xx

No idea @cupcakesandglitter had spotting since Wednesday now but not turning into anything as yet. I really do hope it's IB though! 🤞

Welcome @Charm23.

Thanks everyone for the reassurance! Out for DH's 30th and sticking to the mocktails!

Ooh I also forgot to add - this is the first weekend DH has not agreed to do any over time (thank god) so I have him all to myself...
Decided to drag him with me to do all the food shopping and I was walking around literally dripping!! Don't know wtf is going on but I am soaked - has anyone else had this? Had a nice big blob of creamy AF, I think all the rest of it is just watery stuff idk? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Looks like I'll need a joint shower... 😈

Hi newbies ❤️ yes @ValidUser is completely right, no TMI here 😂

@Delilah7 have you been DTD a lot? Or was it just the other day? X

@MrsC87 could possibly be IB? Xx

So you know how I said Af was on her way.....well nothing....spotted maybe twice today...no cramps....god knows what's going on....

@validuser thanks for the welcome.

Nothing scares me much anymore.. have nothing to lose but everything to gain. We're all in it for the bean 🤗 so looking forward to sharing the love x

Hello @WishingonaStar77 and @Newlou! Welcome to our world where nothing is TMI and our uterine walls are open for business.

On my cycle one my back went out so we used syringes full of jism. You are complicit in this.

Please don't run away. I'm only scary sometimes.

@Delilah7 Thanks! :) Yeah I'm hoping it doesn't reduce our chances other than wanting to DTD a bit less! But I'm determined to DTD whether I'm feeling crap or not - MUST. MAKE. BABY!!
