Hi, I found it useful last cycle to have some ladies to chat to throughout the month. A little about me:

Age- 32
TTC- no. 1
Cycle no. 3
CD 6

I stopped the pill in March and have had long cycles so far. Flo has my predicted ovulation as 30th july! I hope it will come sooner but would love to have some people to chat to whilst I'm waiting!

@Skyla01 this is our 3rd month of trying. AF was 5 days late this month which got our hopes up but seems there was no particular reason? Been pretty regular give or take a couple of days for ages before this. Currently just tracking on Flo but going to use ovulation tests this month. Also looking into things like primrose oil as I've heard good things but it's all a bit confusing really xx

Hi @embaby how long have you been trying for? Are you using anything to track ovulation? It feels like I've got a long time to wait for ov! But my cycles are still settling down after stopping the pill so I'm hoping this cycle will be shorter again and I'll ovulate sooner than predicted. Only cycle 3 for us so early days but feeling optimistic as my cycles are getting shorter.

Hi @tinyole is natural cycles an app? I think it can be tricky getting the hang of taking temps. I haven't tried it myself though- I'm not a good sleeper so not sure it will work for me. I've heard good things about the ava watch! And I think that takes your temp too? Do you think you've been able to tell when you're ovulating accurately? I was very confused last month with what was happening so going to try using opk this month to help.

@mrssunshinexxx thanks, I might do. I'm also looking out for an August bus though as my next AF isn't due until mid August.

Hi @Skyla01

I'll join you! I looked at the other groups and found it overwhelming so many people.

A bit about me:
34
TTC 1st child
3 cycles
CD18

I've been using natural cycles but I seem to be terrible at taking my BBT either that or my temperatures are just erratic so just ordered an Ava watch
