waiting to TTC January- anyone else?

TrashKitten - they're Mother's Select Prenatal Plus. I found them on Amazon. I've always had quite irregular cycles so was really surprised how taking them made them more consistent. My skin cleared up a bit too! 👍

Hope everyone is doing ok. Am currently in the 2 week wait approx day 5 post ovulation though not 100% sure about my days. Got another week until period due so going to try and wait to test till then.

@MrsPMT23 Can I ask what supplements you're taking? My cycles are decided leisurely at about 34+ days. Used to love it as a teenager not having frequent periods but it's not ideal TTC :)

Sorry I've been a bit absent, Christmas was a bit chaotic. Finally back to normal-ish now.

We've started trying. Ovulation was on the 2nd and we DTD in the prior days. The vitamin supplements have been amazing and my cycles are now consistently 28 days rather than anything between 30-36 days. Guess we'll wait and see!

Ahh yes I can imagine. Hope you get to catch up on sleep I have fallen asleep on the sofa the last few nights!

@becca3210 that would be sweet!! I'm so exhausted after having my implant removed and starting my period already! I need a long nap 😂

Hope everyone is getting on ok. Saw one of my best friend's last night and she announced she is 12 weeks pregnant so hoping will happen soon as would be nice to have a friend in the same boat! Going to make the most of wine/cheese etc. next week ;) Merry Christmas everyone!

Well I dont appear to get many other signs such as pains etc so hoping temping will let me know if i definitely have ovulated!

@Pastaallday oh god I couldn't be bothered with all that 🤪 good luck hope it works out

I hate that it's so hard to figure out if you're ovulating! I woke up randomly at 5am and took my temp. Was low at 36.50 and then again at 7am when I woke up and that's the time I usually take it, was 36.75! I don't know which one to use

@Pastaallday that's good about the positive OPK will keep my fingers crossed for you. I think I ovulated last cycle as seemed to have some signs but was pretty late on in my cycle so wonder if will be the same this month. Guess will have to try and cover all bases ha. Now on cycle day 2 so just waiting for this period to be done.

@ernjas it's hard isn't it knowing when to start as always other stuff going on too! Good luck whatever you decide.

@HJWT that's strange! I'm getting worried now that I'm not ovulating :( I had the positive opk on mon but not much difference in my bbt. Not really sure what to do about it really.

@ernjas I came on today but don't get my implant out till Tuesday so not sure how that's going to go! Will have to start tracking ovulation soon after I think! With DD we got pregnant first cycle so not taking any chances! Defo can't get pregnant before January or they will have the same birthday 😂

How's everyone getting on? Not long left now!

I've actually does started a new job so debating whether to push back TTC a bit but I'd be gutted with that

@pastaallday haha will be exactly the same when we start later this month. Enjoy and good luck!

@Pastaallday oooh exciting good luck 🤭

@HJWT yes I've been taking folic acid, a vitamin b complex and zinc for a few months! Also started drinking raspberry leaf tea sometimes who knows if that helps at all! So today we 'officially' started TTC by which I mean my husband gets to just enjoy dtd not really knowing all the OPK, temping etc etc that I'm doing!

@HJWT I'm taking vitamins, started them a few months back as I'm an eager beaver! @ernjas I use Ovia and really rate it. I have tested a few months with OPKs just out of interest and it's always pretty accurate for my ovulation. But that may just be because I'm super regular! Xx

@ernjas I used an app only with my first and got pregnant the first month! Whilst also working shifts every day so must be somewhat accurate x

Is anyone using a period/ovulation tracker app? Does anyone know how accurate they are? I'm currently using Flo and it seems good so far!

@Pastaallday sounds like your body is trying to get back to normal which is a plus! Have you started taking conception vitamins at all? Iv heard they can really help!! I started taking them at the beginning of the month I'm currently 'on my period' Iv got the implant in still so it just literally a bunch of hormones sore boobs & nothing else and my hormones are so much more settled with taking the vitamins xx

Sorry not second line yet but I only got one a day before last month so night be a few more days yet? Fingers crossed..

@HJWT I think I ovulated on the 12th November as I had a strong opk line and small pain on the right hand side for an hour or so. That would my first ever ovulation after the pill (if it was). So then had a very light brown/reddish period bleed exactly 2 weeks later. Do you think I could potentially ovulate this weekend? (A month after first ovulation) or more likely to be completely random again? It would be nice to hear of others' experiences. Im trying not to be too hopeful.

@Pastaallday have they got a second line at all yet?

I began opks a few days ago. My app has calculated that ovulation is imminent from when i last entered my period (first proper one off the pill). I'm trying to be optimistic but realistically I'm pretty sure I won't ovulate anytime soon. I had to wait 2 months for my first AF to arrive so would be a miracle of I had a 28 day cycle already! Anyone regulated after waiting ages for their first period?
