So I’m currently on day cycle 12 not due ovulation yet but I should be in a few days! Trying for my second is anyone else wants to join this tread to talk about TTC come on over.
I have been tracking my cycles for a few months now but we are only trying from this month.
Please feel free to share your TTC story xx

Couldn’t get through to the doctors this morning and still no period, I’m 5 days late today, don’t wanna take a test in case it’s negative as took a Superdrug yesterday and it was negative

SwimSwim · 18/10/2018 09:29

@Lovelysam1 so sorry to hear about your loss.

@abzi91 I hope Saturday comes quickly for you!

@Rightnow1245 I never planned this long to be honest but think we'll be finishing in the next month or 2, as DD is starting to go down wide awake and self settling, so think we're coming to a natural end. Hopefully tandem feeding will work out great for you.

HelloBrass · 18/10/2018 08:28

I'm 7dpo today & only really started thinking about it yesterday. Hopefully I can forget about it again for a few more days! I've had a rough few days - been feeling really low & withdrawn. Think I need some R&R and hopefully some really good news with a bfp next week!

No symptoms at all, and no tests in the house. AF is due next sat but if I get brown spotting a few days before then I'll know I'm out.

Fx for you all x

Rightnow1245 · 18/10/2018 01:04

Yes it bet it’s hard enough to get time off anyway! Just go and see what they say abz

Oh really sorry to hear that @Decgal88, hopefully November will be your month!šŸ¤žšŸ½ā¤ļø

Ah okay, thanks @Rightnow1245! I need to go to the GP anyway, so will mention it to the nurse and see what she says! Just so difficult because I have to find time to take off from work as well

@EvieV28 think @Rightnow has the best advice! After AF/before ovulation.

Lovelysam1 · 17/10/2018 21:28

Ok thanks

Rightnow1245 · 17/10/2018 20:28

lovelysam At my Doctors surgery the nurse can but I think it depends on the surgery

Lovelysam1 · 17/10/2018 20:06

Will ring them in morning but can a nurse do a blood test instead of a doctor

Rightnow1245 · 17/10/2018 20:02

abz I forgot to tag you in my last post šŸ™ˆ

Wow that’s impressive SwimSwim I’m aiming for 2 years but don’t know how that will work being pregnant 😬 my DS is only 14months so that means Tandom feeding if I fall pregnant soon! Hoping I can do that šŸ¤žšŸ½
Sorry to hear of your loss lovelysam I also think you should book a doctors appointment.
Sorry to hear that’s decgal is it a heavy bleed tho?

Yeah definitely mention it to the nurse that you are TTC because I’m not sure it’s good to do if you’re pregnant! Maybe rebook it if you’re worried about it? I probably would do it the week leading up to ovulation just incase??

Thanks will ring doctors in the morning for an appointment but can nurse do a blood test instead of the doctor

EvieV28 · 17/10/2018 19:19

@Lovelysam1 sorry to hear about your loss, I would book a doctors appointment just to find out what's going on. X

@Abzi91 I'm not sure but I'm due a test as well and wondering the same!

Decgal88 · 17/10/2018 19:14

@Lovelysam1 sorry to hear about loosing your little girlFlowers i would book a drs appt if your that many days late and get a blood test x

Decgal88 · 17/10/2018 19:12

Thank you @Abzi91 im pretty sure as its been constant all day Sadjust hope it doesnt mess my next cycle up i guess i will ovulate early im going to start using opk’s can anyone recommend good ones? I dont think it matters your trying to concieve hun hope it goes well Smile

Lovelysam1 · 17/10/2018 18:46

TTC baby no 3, after losing my lil girl at only 5 days old, period was due on 14th Oct and I’m currently 4 nearly 5 days late, done 5 pregnancy test since my period due date and all been negative, am I testing too early or should I see a doctor for a blood test

Abzi91 · 17/10/2018 18:35

Quick question, have a cervical screening test tomorrow. Do you guys know if it matters if I'm TTC? Will mention it to the nurse before the appointment. I mentioned it to the receptionist when I booked it but she didn't really acknowledge it šŸ™„

Abzi91 · 17/10/2018 18:33

@Decgal88 sorry to hear AF arrived! :( are you sure it's AF?

Welcome @SwimSwim! TWW really does make you go crazy! I'm 10dpo and just waiting for it to be over!!

Natural to be symptom spotting @SenoraSurf! I think I started it as soon as 1dpo, questioning everything.

@Rightnow1245 glad you started this thread too! Thanks 😬

@sav89 Hope you do get a lovely belated birthday present! šŸ¤žšŸ½šŸ˜Š

Stupidly took another hpt today because cramps had increased (bfn of course)! Saturday can't come quick enough!! Going to try and hopefully wait till Saturday now when AF is due.

Mumof4andahalf · 17/10/2018 17:59

@wimsywon I am sure I ovulated 12 days after so anything's possible

SwimSwim · 17/10/2018 17:42

*@Rightnow1245 I'm still breastfeeding too!! 😁 My DD is 22 months, so only feeding once a day, at bedtime, so I don't think that's affecting my cycle too much. Although saying that, my cycles vary anything between 24 and 33 days now, so it could be that. That also means my dates could be a little bit out for me too, but just playing that bit by ear.

waitingforbaby2 · 17/10/2018 17:23

@sav89 I will normallywait till af however this month I will test on the 26th as we go away for the weekend with family and want to no if I should avoid drinking or not as they don't know I'm TTC but I'm not sure how I will get away with not drinking without them guessing if I do get a BFP as I don't want to tell people straight away

Rightnow1245 · 17/10/2018 16:31

swimswimNo worries! It’s nice to talk to people going through the same thing as me 😊 I’m also on 3dpo but my luteal phase is much shorter hence why af is due before you 😬 I ovulated so late this month tho so I might be a little off with my dates tho.. plus I’m still breastfeeding so I know that can effect it! We are literally the same I’m only on cycle 1 and we have a DS already! How old is your LO? X

OP posts:
SwimSwim · 17/10/2018 15:55

@sav89 I'm the same with the symptom spotting. I've been feeling really tired this past few days but it'll just be the cold that's been going around our house! šŸ™ˆ I will be waiting to see if AF appears and not testing until then, if she doesn't. I'll drive myself crazy if I test any earlier I think.

@Rightnow245 my Flo app says AF is due on 29th for me, so I'm a few days behind you. Thanks for starting this thread!!

Rightnow1245 · 17/10/2018 14:32

sav89 I was going to wait until AF is due but that could all change if I have more symptoms lol

Rightnow1245 · 17/10/2018 14:29

wimsywon no idea if you can ovulate that soon after MC.. I’m sure it can happen tho x
