TTC October anyone want to join 😊

Hi, I’m a newbie to posting and have only been lurking a few weeks. I’m 37 and my DH is 51, I have a 1 DS who is nearly 15 from a previous relationship and this is my first month TTC #2. My DS was a surprise baby so I’ve never thought about TTC before now. I’ve been temping via Natural Cycles as a contraceptive for over a year and have flipped it to TTC this month. Im temping so made sure we were busy in the lead to and on the day. I’m currently 10dpo, had light pink spotting yesterday, a little brown this morning and then a little pink again this afternoon. I had sore breasts since OV that has mostly gone now and I’m due on 8h or 9th so not sure if the spotting is a good sign or AF coming early (I tend to spot a little before AF). Really looking forward to being in touch with people who are in the same boat as no one other than DH know we are giving it a try!

@Babycakes1989 I have Flo but will probably delete after my weeks trial is over.

Reasons why are:
1:I'm don't think I'm using it properly lol

And 2: I'm not sure how I feel about the symptom tracker/logger. I feel like it's quite vague and I also feel like it's not healthy/it's making me think quite obsessively! For example, a symptom is "bloated" which I am but I also had a jacket potato at 10:30 last night and a chilli full of beans and chickpeas. I've had a headache but could that be down stress at work. Also my back does ache but it's probably from cleaning the kitchen floor! I've also had a couple of spots even though I have very clear skin etc

So part of mean thinks it's great for tracking my period / ovulation time if you use it correctly but perhaps apps aren't for me!

I haven't used ovulation strips as this is my first month trying so can't comment on those!

Thanks all ❤️ Can you point me in the right direction of a good app to track ov? Thank you x

Is it ok if I join too??

Currently waiting for AF to arrive! She should arrive sometime next weekend. Not sure if to test end of next week or to wait it out if she doesn't show up!

Cycle day 3 here! Trying the sperm meets egg plan again this month so will start using ovulation sticks around cycle day 8 I didn't ovulate until about cycle day 16 last month! Xx

Yep. Thanks to MN I started tracking when I ov and somewhat weirdly it’s CD6 or 7 of 32.

NUTS.

Thank you ladies xx
Sorry for your loss Babycakes1989. Xx
Rightnow1245, I’m going to start using them on CD10 as my af is a bit all over the place, I’ve bought loads of those one step sticks off of Amazon.
Babydust to you all xx

I seem to ovulate on day 6 of a 7 day period; it’s really weird. It’s like once every last “trace” (ahem) of AF has really gone it’s almost too late.

Mental.

Will start trying this month cd 6 i having been tracking my cycle for a few months but only had implant removed last month

Hi guys

Am here

Another month rolls round...whilst AF isn’t due for two days I tested yesterday as I’ve had to take Pepto bismol and lemsip which are big no nod if preggers.

BFN needless to say.

However. Holiday tomorrow! Really going to concentrate on shagging heaps when poss.

Should be CD1 but AF isn't here yet. Definitely not pregnant (2 x FRER says so). I'm due to ovulate on 18th so will be a bit of a wait...

I'm CD11 on cycle 3! Not using OPKs this month.

Sorry to hear about your MCs @Angel2018 and @Babycakes1989.

Fx for us all xx

Cycle day 5! 2 month if TTC after mmc in July. Hubby better be ready next week 😂🤭 xx I’m not tracking ovulation yet, cycle usually 28 days will start looking into that if no BFP this year x

Hi Rightnow1245,
This is my first month of ttc after the loss of my baby in August. First month of opk which I have never used before but want to track my ovulation day. I’m currently on cd 6 and af is still here. I’m feeling nervous but so desperate for a baby.
Good luck! Xx
