@2018isanewyear

@ambs81

Really sorry to hear about both your mcs Sad great to hear you both ovulating!

@2018isanewyear Every other day they say is enough so think you have it covered but keep going every day if you can.

@ambs81 I do the same too with legs in the air for half an hour after but sometimes my little one comes looking for me so my husband has to keep her occupied!!

Did anyone else find last cycle's TWW really drag on? I think because I was off work between Christmas and New Year it just seemed to take forever. And then AF at the end.

Hopefully this month flies by and we all get our BFPs. Good luck everyone!

Hi all,

Due to ovulate today/tomorrow-ish, cycle 1 after having a mc at 7+5 in November.

Have got all the usual ovulation symptoms last 48 hours, so today I thought I'd have the gloop (a nurse described it as that to me, gross but maybe best fitting description!!!), no sign of it yet so i'll try to dtd tonight and tomorrow.

I've been doing the tilting my hips back and lying flat afterwards the past few days, who knows if it makes any difference!!!

Fingers crossed for everyone xxxx

Hi, this morning I got the static smiley on cb digital opk.

We have been bd every other day for a week now. Now I have smiley I'm thinking every day for
3 days then back to every other. Should that cover it?

Sounds very formal but This is cycle 12 since mc at 8week and 16 in total

WildFlower2019 · 20/01/2019 17:17

Hello, I'm due to OV this week so would love to join your thread 😊😊

I think it'll be around Tuesday. (I am away at the moment but off home later and will start my OPKs tomorrow.)

TTC baby #1. This will be cycle #3

Well 4 technically. I was pg in autumn but that sadly ended up with a TFMR at 13w. So, this is my 3rd cycle since being given go ahead to start trying again.

@littleredcup

Good luck! I know the feeling because it happened quickly first time you expect it to happen quickly again the second time.

Me too! Long time lurker, first time poster.

OV due Tue according to Clue app.
Peak fertility smile today on CBFM
TTC #2
Cycle 4

For some reason I thought it would take a long time to conceive DS. We were lucky and shocked to conceive the 2nd month of trying. Then I got it in my head #2 would be quick too, so it's a bit dispiriting to be on cycle 4 now.

This cycle I'm trying Preseed for the first time after learning about it on here. Also taking folic acid and vit D.

Welcome to all those who have joined! We are all on the same window of ovulation so it’s good to get a group of us so feel free to write any thoughts, experiences, symptoms etc. Hopefully we get our BFP in a few weeks! Baby dust to everyone Smile

HMIB · 20/01/2019 11:04

Please can I join. I should ovulate some time this week! I haven't taken an opk yet today. Might be tmi but I check my cervix to see what it's doing and it's started to open and become soft. So I'm definitely going in the right direction.

This Is my first month trying, AF came back for the first time in 15 moths since having my last baby. Was breastfeeding and he's just weened so that's why it's come back.

Baby dust to everyone!!

ChikiTIKI · 20/01/2019 09:13

@KatnissKringle I am using the Amazon ones called Clear Response xx

Lammoshay · 19/01/2019 23:21

25th for me
Cycle 2
Tried last month but think I ovulated early and just missed as DTD last 3 days of OV when should have done 1st 3.
For some opk’s this month and basal temp so fingers crossed 🤞
Good luck to you all- lots of baby dust. X

Paddypaws91 · 19/01/2019 20:31

Yes! Ovulation due Thursday, fertile window starts tomorrow. Cycle 2 - bring it on Grin

FX everyone!

@chanel05 TTC number 2

@chikitiki I'm using clear blue OPKs

@katnisskringle yes it's weird, I'm glad it's not just me. Maybe that we just that bit older it's taken longer. really hoping it happen soon and trying to relax

@cinderella812 I so understand my DH also hates pressure & routine, wants to go with the flow

OP posts:
Cinderella812 · 19/01/2019 20:05

Clue tells me I am due to ovulate on Wednesday (but I am not temp tracking or using OPKs, so that prediction is based purely on my cycle history and timings).

Fingers crossed!

Cycle 1 here.
DH doesn't like the pressure of knowing, so we may not even DTD in my fertile window, unless he so happens to feel like it.

Chanel05 · 19/01/2019 19:59

@Explorers10 I’m ttc number 1 what about you?

abcriskringle · 19/01/2019 19:54

@Explorers10 we are in the same boat! It's so weird isn't it?!

@chikiTIKI I am using opks this month! What type are you using? I have the cheapie dip test ones off amazon. I have used them before and got blazing, unmistakable positives so hoping that happens again this month.

ChikiTIKI · 19/01/2019 19:41

Me! Not sure exactly when as my cycles vary in length and this is my first cycle after having a miscarriage in December. Also first month using OPKs. Anyone here used to using them? I might need some help decoding them this week!!

Good luck everyone xxxx

@chanel05 really hope this month is your month with everything you are trying. Which number are you trying to conceive?

@katnisskringle I can so relate to you. My first also happened on first cycle and was just let’s see how we get on with no pressure or tracking! I think I was so shocked 2nd time round trying that I immediately thought something was wrong but I know it does take months

OP posts:
abcriskringle · 19/01/2019 19:10

@Explorers10 might be the best way! I fell pregnant with my first with absolutely no idea about when I ovulated or tww symptoms or anything and bam - pregnant literally the first try. This time I tracked everything diligently beforehand so I knew cycle length, took vitamins and folic acid, did OPKs aaaaand...onto 7th cycle with not even the slightest whiff of a bfp! It's so frustrating but equally I know I can't complain as I already have a child and 7 months is nothing compared to some people....still annoying!

Chanel05 · 19/01/2019 18:18

@Explorers10 I used soy isoflavones this month and I’m getting acupuncture late in the 2ww. I’m on cycle 7 now, you name it, I’ve tried it! 😂

@katnisskringle yes it's so awkward as the weekend was arranged months ago and didn't think at all about timings! Maybe it will give me time to chill out and forget about TTC

OP posts:
abcriskringle · 19/01/2019 17:41

@Exolorers10 good luck! So awkward with timings isn't it. I have a feeling I ovulate later than I used to so interested to see what the OPKs say.

Original poster
Explorers10 · 19/01/2019 17:38

@katnisskringle I will also be using OPKs as got a few left that I didn’t use last month.

I’m going away over the weekend for a girlie holiday so I’m hoping I don’t ovulate late!

@chanel05 cycle 3, what about you? Are you going to do anything different? I’ve bought conceive plus fertility lube this month and will DTD every other day. Crossing fingers and toes, really feels like pot luck
