TTC JANUARY 2019

@ohsure
AF is due 6th January so I'll do a test then or maybe even on 7th if I can hold out. Good idea to keep tests out of the house! I stupidly bought an ovulation test kit with pregnancy tests.

Hello, @ttc12019 [waves]

There’s so much info out there that it makes me a bit blinky but tell myself that women’s have been doing this since time began and we can bloody well do it too!

Thanks @butterfliesandroses - going to start with folic acid for now, I think.

I’m due on the 10th, so it’s the wait for me now. I need distractions, so the house will never have looked so clean

Hi 👋🏽
Can I join in too? Just started ttc for baby #1
Just finished AF a few days ago and my cycles are usually about 31-33 days long.
I've started taking folic acid too. Hoping it all helps 😃 been reading a few other threads, there is so much to learn, a bit overwhelming tbh

@ohsure I'm like you and impatient so I'll try anything. Like so many I thought it would happen first time and when it didn't I went into research overdrive!
Luisa recommends coq10, DHA and folic acid so I'll be trying those. The hardest part for me is cutting caffeine - I love tea too much !!!

Fingers crossed for your BFPs @outwards and @iano

Hello, all.

I think DPO is days past ovulation, iano. (I’m 4 days DPO!) when are you thinking of testing? I tell myself early testing is pointless, but did it all the time anyway in my first cycle and was just hugely disappointed every time! If I don’t have any tests the house, I can’t be tempted, so I’ve said I’m not going to buy any til I’m past my period date.

Ooh, well done butterflies, I’ve not started all that yet! What vitamins are you going to take?

18 months sounds tough, outwards. Everything very firmly crossed for a January BFP y

Could someone direct me to where I can get my head around all the abbreviations? What's dpo?

Hello everyone! We've just started trying for our second little person.
I'm waiting to test if we got lucky in December. I wasn't tracking my temperature and as my cycles are less reliable since having DS I'm not sure we got the timing right.
I'm determined to hold off testing until my period is due but am really struggling. Hoping the new year brings us all some great news!

Can I join the thread?

Been TTC 18 months (for our first) and undergoing tests for fertility, but I'm always and ever-hopeful!

I'm 8dpo today - I hate the TWW....feeling tired & irritable too, so it's pointing towards PMS....but here's hoping for a Jan BFP!

Hi @KernowBee and @ohsure !
What a brilliant start to the thread!
If I could share my story..
We have been ttc for 2 cycles so far (one in Aug 2018 and one in Dec 2018 - both BFN). We took a break Oct and Nov as I got a promotion at work so I wanted to focus on that - couldn't postpone any longer as we are both so ready for our first little one.
The BFNs are difficult to face but we are trying to remain positive at the moment and telling ourselves that we are still new to this and every cycle we learn something new to help us on our journey.
AF is due on NYE so we are excited about trying for our first baby in 2019.
I am using the Glow app and have some cheap OPKs (didn't get a positive in Dec) and a thermometer arrived in the post today so planning to start temping from tomorrow. Had been using pregnacare vitamins but having read Luisa Zissman's blog am trying her combination of vitamins for the new year.
Sending baby dust to all

It's horribly addictive! TTC since November, even! Yes - trying for my first and going with the flow(ish). Got the Flo app but not temping yet. I'm sure I will be soon enough as I have no patience

How long have you been trying, Kernowbee? And are you trying for your first?

Hello!

New to all this and just started TTC in December. Stupidly tested a million times already, so trying to chill out about it (easier said..) or I will drive myself potty.
