Anyone starting this month and want to join me!

@GemmaJen
Nope not really. I don't have a thermometer and my temps all over the place reallyyy as always get colds 😂

I'm on CD2 sadly had a bfp just before AF turned up. Guess post mc things just weren't quite ready yet. Hoping for a bfp in the new year.

@pinkflower22 are you tracking Bbt?

Hey guys anyone had any luck yet?
I'm trying again this month. But not sure when ovulation was.

I took two contraceptive pills during my period and I think it's messed up my cycle, as I had two days of bleeding near my time of ovulation. But managed to BD anyway. So hoping things turn out okay!

Hi, possible to join?

Slightly different story, but very keen to get back to ttc. Just had a MMC. But to see me through I'm looking forward the best way I can think of and want a BFP so desperately. I'm trying to learn as much as possible to increase our chances.

@Monday55

Oh that's a good idea.
I'm just taking folic acid on it's own. I hope it will be enough.

Thanks @pinkflower22 I'm taking the asda ones 60tabs for £3.50 and also topping them up with omega 3 tablets 1 a day.

@Monday55 good luck for the end of this month, wish me luck too, what vitamins are you taking ?

We started properly this month too but may have missed the November ovulation already as he was away for 8 days and my last AF finished 23rd Oct next one due 19th November.

I've started prenatal vitamins in preparation for December as I've counted this month out x

Yes, so say your period started on 1st Dec and you ov on 14th of dec and concieved yiu can find your due date by going to chart and matching 1st Dec with the line below... if that makes sense lol. Also means you can plan based on when next AF is

@scarletrose18 thanks for sharing the dates chart!! This is maybe a stupid question but I’m assuming it’s the date of your last period not the date you’d be expecting your next period, is that right?

Hi everyone! Me and my partner are going to start trying properly next month, even though there is a chance this month that I might be pregnant. I’m on CD26 and my period is due today but hoping I don’t gave it. Feel like it’s going to start though keep checking for it, but I’ve heard that that is a pregnancy symptom? Will have to wait and see

Try this out for dates guys. Its so amazing but so hard not to obsess over lol.
It gives u your exact due date based on first day of your period! So the black line is the first day of your period, blue line would be due date

Yes teacher too hence the sept/ Oct baby. My second born was early Oct and we got pregnant first try in January. Meant I could go back at the end of summer term and get full pay over summer. It Def makes sense to wait a few months more for us.

@hangingtrousers I know what you mean I am a teacher and so a September baby would be ideal but because of my dates if I conceived in December my due date would still be 31st August so would need to conceive in Jan to get a late September date.
Or have I got the dates things all wrong? I am just using Flo to predict the first day of my future periods and then whacking that into a due date calculator but I really don't understand how it can solely be based on first day of period when the fertile period is so long...not a science teacher

Thanks... Yes it will fly by and to be fair I would prefer a September or October baby 😂 (yes I know it's not that predictable but got pregnant very fast first two times...)

@foxy84 I have ordered Seven Seas on Amazon same day delivery so will start taking them today.
So weird was planning to start trying December 2019 and then had a chat on Friday night starting vitamins today and could have a baby before the date we planned to start trying! I know it might not work out that easily but the username says it all I am so excited.
@hangingtrousers next month isn't so far away

@Soexciting @Scarletrose18 thank you ladies!! 😊

@Soexciting congrats to you too! Re folic acid I've been taking pregnacare vitamins which have folic acid in them as well as multivitamins, agree with @Scarletrose18 it is to help prevent birth defects, but I think as long as you start taking it now then it would be fine! Agree you can go a bit crazy reading all the advice out there!🙈

Hi all. We haven't really used contraception since DS was born (breastfeeding and periods haven't returned). I recently returned to work so have a feeling periods might return now. Had very very light orange spotting twice this week and have now convinced myself I'm nauseous/tender breasts too. More likely to be period returning than BFP but I'll enjoy symptom spotting for now. 

Sorry to hear that @hangingtrousers I think men automatically have some strange view of how hard it will be with a baby. Everyone had told my husband first time that his life would be over and he was so worried right up until dc1 was born then he admitted it was totaly the opposite and loves being a dad.

Now he has the same anxiety about having 2 and wanted to wait longer but I have worn him down... i mean he has changed his mind about ttc now.

So dont give up hope, he may change his mind yet

x

December even...

DH decided he wanted to wait till next month. Roll on November.

@soexciting Hi :) I think taking the folic acid before is for preventing birth defects.

@foxy84 yes congratulations! Mrs Foxy :)

It's all so exciting. So wrote a post about not knowing whether to start this month or wait until next. I also read something about taking folic acid for 3 months before but reading stuff is probably a bad idea.
@Foxy84 I am 34 too and got married in August congratulations on your wedding

I've started this month too. Currently on CD8 after first period after stopping pill on 28th Sept. I'm going to be fertile this week hopefully.... App says 9th but we are juts dtd every day anyway

Hello! 👋🏻 I have just signed up to Mumsnet and also just started TTC. I hope it’s ok to join you here!

I just got married in September and we’re keen to try for a baby right away 😊 I’m 34 and it would be my first baby so a bit worried that it could be difficult but fingers crossed!

I had my implant removed in March and been using Natural Cycles since then... my periods were all over the place and I think my cycle is still getting back to normal... I’m pretty sure I ovulated on Thursday based on temps and OPKs, but I think that was day 28 of my cycle so obviously not where it should be!🤔
