Anyone trying to conceive?

Hi all. I'm TTC#2 only very early days as stopped my pill at the end of March. I didn't track ovulation etc with 1st as he wasn't properly planned. Do people find the ovulation apps helpful or will it just drive me crazy planning when to have sex and stress me out (and take the fun out of it !!) ? I always thought I'd not put that much pressure on it but DS has just turned four and I don't want any bigger age gap so I feel like I'm already pressuring myself !!

Wow this thread has had lots of replies! Hello everyone🙋🏻
@LITTLEPICKLES88 sorry to hear about your af showing up. Mine decided to make an appearance this morning too.
Fingers crossed for next month🤞🏻

Hi Everyone! Is it ok if I join? Hope you are all doing ok! I am 32 TTC baby #1 and on cycle 2. AF due today but still no sign, took a test and it was BFN! It’s so frustrating, my af is normally like clockwork! If it’s coming I wish it would just come so I could get on with it....trying to stay relaxed about the whole things but like everyone says, it’s hard!

Hey @samantha11k thank u for the reply! Thats true it probably puts too much pressure on i guess.. hopefully we can manage to get some hang of it!!

Hi @Cheyanne101

I'm not going by when I ovulate. I find it takes the fun and romance away from it all which I don't want. We try to just DTD 3-4 times a week and hope for the best!

That's probably easier for me than for people who already have children though!

Also... @louse190 I like your approach! I'm going to stop thinking about it and concentrate on me! Thank you!!

Hey everyone!

Sorry to hear af has reared her ugly head @LITTLEPICKLES88 I kinda wish she would visit me now just so I can start again if you know what I mean. I've not had any symptoms until today really, I've got a very upset stomach but still lot sure what's going on.

Hope everyone is getting on okay!

@Samantha11K oh god, I bet that was torture! I have some things planned that I am hoping to be pregnant for just so I can get out of them

I am so impatient and absolutely HATE the not knowing. I am absolutely a planner so this is driving me insane! X

Hi everyone, may i join. TTC
Very confused or im very stupid. But i cant pin point the correct ovulation date. My period tends to last an average 26 days with the last two being 25 day cycle. Got AF today. I have two apps flo and ovia and both totally different dates! We plan to try in may and now im nervous that we will miss our windows! Any advice welcome x

@Louise190 it really is! Everyone says just relax but it's impossible isn't it?

I'm trying a different approach to it all now. I was getting to the point where I was planning my life around possibly being pregnant and I've realised I can't do that.
Any symptoms I'm feeling I'm brushing them off as period due symptoms. Obviously I can't wait to get those two little lines but it's so out of my control so I'm just concentrating on keeping myself healthy and happy 😊

@Samantha11K it's a torturous rollercoaster, isn't it!

Sorry to hear @LITTLEPICKLES88

Try not to be too disappointed. You just have to keep thinking it will happen when it's supposed to happen x

Hi @Louise190 and @Rodgers19

I'm trying for my first too! It's all new and exciting then when it doesn't happen straight away you're like, oh 🙄

I'm still feeling exhausted. Waiting for next weekend to do a test if AF doesn't show up before then!

Fingers crossed for you all ladies.

Hi everyone!

My partner and I decided to start trying for our first very recently and I came off the pill on the 17th of march. I had a withdrawal bleed the very next day which lasted a good 5 days and since then I've had no period since. I've done a couple of tests, one being today, which we're all BFN.

Driving myself a little crazy about it if I'm honest.

Good luck to you all x

Hey guys! I came across this thread and since pawing over the details I feel somewhat invested in everyone's story 🙈 my partner and I are trying for our first and only in my second cycle so all very new and unknown and driving me MAD!! Fingers crossed for everyone xx

Have any of you got a positive test yet? I just took one and it was negative, so I'm guessing I'm not pregnant this month (cycle day 27). Hopefully I'll be pregnant soon🙄

Definitely try to wait if you can. I found the clear blue digital tests don't always pick up as early as pink tests.

I learned my lesson from testing early. My MC in January was a CP. I tested on day 28 and got a faint result and again on day 30 which was a strong positive, then had bleeding so if only I'd waited I just would have assumed my period was a bit later than usual.
It is so hard waiting though!

Hello @Samantha11K and @LITTLEPICKLES88 fingers crossed for BFP for all of us then🤞🏻 Post updates
I bought some clear blue tests today and am trying my hardest to wait until Sunday or later (my cycle can be 28-32 days but has been 28 for the last few cycles). I did a cheap one the other day and got a BFN but wasn't expecting anything because of how early it was. It's so tempting to do another one
