Hi!

Is there anyone else who is waiting to TTC until next month? Support thread here if needed! Would be nice to speak to some others during the wait!

Hi! Can I join? I'm waiting until January .. because OH says so! And so I can drink over the holidays. So excited! I have a DS already so this will (hopefully) be no 2.

I use the flo app Muffin! I like it, it got my period spot on the first time using it, the second period was 5 days late (wasn't pregnant unfortunately) so then it's re-calculated and should be accurate again now. Hopefully I come on when it says I'm due as that means ill ovulate on january 1st which is so exciting!

Muffin9120 · 12/12/2018 19:08

Awh I’m so excited for you all to get to start trying next month, I can’t wait till I can!

I’ve just started using the Flo app to try track my cycles, has anyone else used this and is it any good?!

I am on St. John’s wort and taking the pill (OH no’s and is happy to take the risk) so might happen for me, but I don’t know how much it does effect the pill and I’m honestly just not that lucky 👎

I'm using Ovia Fertility app. I only track when my period start/ends but there is loads of different things you can record if you want.

@Bluebell9 I have no idea how to even begin tracking cycles!

Bluebell9 · 12/12/2018 15:31

Hello ladies. Can I join you? We are going to start trying as soon as Christmas is over. Not long now!
I had my coil taken out in the summer so I could track my cycle.

It's so crazy to think this time next year I may have a baby 😂 we're thinking about booking a holiday for next Dec same as what we have just had and I'm like 'OOH make sure you get cancellation insurance, could end up being my due date for all we know' DH just rolled his eyes haha!!

Mamatodoodles · 12/12/2018 13:34

@HJWT yes I am crazy! But I am soo broody and my DH has 2 sisters who are 11 months apart and really great friends so I know it would be hard work but there’s nothing I want more! 😀

thosethreewords · 12/12/2018 13:25

I've had some spotting today so I don't know if this is my new CD1 or what's going on. Only day 3 post coil removal so could be related to that!

@HJWT makes perfect sense! Our DS is end of August so would be a nice gap!

OP posts:
HJWT · 12/12/2018 12:02

@gizmosslave DD Birthday is in September I think my DH would have heart attack if there birthdays were in the same week 😂

Ohhh nooo! Would you start trying at Christmas or is there a reason you are waiting til next month?

OP posts:
HJWT · 12/12/2018 11:53

@gizmosslave Iv booked to have my implant removed next week, but I came on today so now I think I'm going to end up ovulating at Christmas 😩

I’ve not officially come off the pill I’ve just been terrible at taking it😂 I couldn’t decide whether to come off it to regulate cycles again or to wait til jan to come off it properly!

Sorry guys busy busy week! So lovely you are all here!

This will hopefully be baby #2 for me. We have a 16 month old and are getting married in June, I didn’t want to be more than 5 months pregnant for the wedding!

OP posts:
FairyLightFiend · 12/12/2018 10:02

Me too! We stopped using contraceptives this month, but avoided when I thought I was ovulating (DH doesn’t realise quite what I was doing - I just wanted a month to get a bit more used to the idea! Blush). We’re going to properly start trying over Christmas! I’m SO nervous about it all! It’s a whole new world!

HJWT · 12/12/2018 09:55

@Mamatodoodles you are crazy 😂 we are trying for #2 but our DD will be 3 when the next one arrives! We wanted one after the other then she turned one and we decided to wait 🤪 haha xx

Mamatodoodles · 12/12/2018 08:30

Hi everyone, can I join?

DH and I have decided to TTC #2 next month. Currently mama to a 4 month old (call me crazy!!).

I can’t wait! Good luck to everybody!
