Is anyone going to be testing at the start of September?

I'm 1DPO today and seeking buddies to wait/symptom spot with.

I'm on cycle 3 of TTC first child.

@nuttypea no I’ve not been tracking which is making it worse so i plan to start doing both bbt and OPK sticks next cycle... I completely get it, I’m always on the forums and googling ttc related things. It is taking over my life. I’ve only been trying since June so I dread to think what I’ll be like if it doesn’t happen quickly 😬

Nuttypea · 23/08/2019 18:20

It's horrible how shitty it makes you feel isn't it. Sorry tmi but are you dtd regularly or just charting and fertile window? I know it doesn't make it easier hearing it, but plenty of people conceive with long cycles! It's my 4th cycle actively trying and it's just so disheartening. On my mind 24/7 I know it's not long in reality but I am already convinced we will struggle. I am worried I have lost the plot, I look at baby items online most days and sometimes even put them in a basket as if I'm ready to buy them 🙈 not normal behaviour I'm sure. But have never wanted anything so much. Fingers crossed for everyone that their bfp is soon. Xx

Sunshine8888 · 23/08/2019 18:02

@nuttypea yes it is - ttc baby no 1! But struggling with long cycles (45 days) so I’m CD37 currently and only 5-6DPO, it’s so horrible. I have to wait sooo long for anything to happen and then wait some more during the TWW 😭 I’m really struggling with it tbh.

Nuttypea · 23/08/2019 17:53

I am in the exact same boat as you sunshine, due on 31st and with similar symptoms and and trying to spot them like an absolute loon (which is not new) only difference this month is I am quite dizzy and having headaches! Is this your first bub?

Sunshine8888 · 23/08/2019 17:39

Hi ladies, AF due for me around 31st/1st, think I’m about 5-6DPO and symptom spotting like a crazy person knowing there is nothing to spot at this early stage 🙈! I’ve had sharp pains in both ovaries, a tugging feeling across the uterus, gagged when I ate some flavoured nuts I usually like ... but it is likely all in my head! I am not good at this TWW thing!

itssquidstella · 23/08/2019 17:17

I think I'm on 1dpo now!

Raizelrea · 23/08/2019 17:08

Hi ladies, happy bank holiday weekend! Os anyone on their TWW already or is it still all go time? 😃 I think I have ovulated but will definitely be DTD some more as I have no idea! May try OPKs next cycle to save me all the extra speculation!

itssquidstella · 23/08/2019 14:54

@MrsMc2019 sorry to hear that - good luck for this cycle!

MrsMc2019 · 23/08/2019 09:51

No, we've been trying for over a year but sadly we had a miscarriage earlier this year xx

itssquidstella · 23/08/2019 09:37

Hi @MrsMc2019 ! Is this your first time ttc?

MrsMc2019 · 23/08/2019 09:04

Hi, can I join this thread? I'm 2dpo x

itssquidstella · 23/08/2019 08:46

@Raizelrea fingers crossed! Are you going to test early or just wait to see if AF arrives?

Raizelrea · 23/08/2019 08:38

@itssquidstella Sounds like your cycle os quite similar to mine! My AF is due around the same time and ovulation was yesterday, today or tomorrow - depending on which app I look at 😃 Don't count yourself out, 2 sessions during the fertile window aren't bad I think!

FilthyforFirth · 23/08/2019 08:04

Woke up with cramps today so think my period is on the way sadly. Boobs arent sore anymore either

Positivity2019 · 22/08/2019 20:53

@Bezalelle google is absolutely our friend and enemy at the moment eh. I’m the same, never thought I’d be sharing so much info with people I don’t know but it’s such a help to clear the head and get some perspective and calm.

Positivity2019 · 22/08/2019 20:51

@MrsMeow2019 I would recommend it yes. It’s so easy to use and tracks so many things for you. I am going to use an OPK next cycle but that’s for my own curiosity to see how accurate the ovulation date that Ava is giving me is. Mine was actually a gift so I’m not sure what he postal delivery time was so sorry I can’t help there.

@firsttimemum1993 oh my name is Hailey too!!! Just spelt a little different.

Nuttypea · 22/08/2019 18:55

I don't think there's a ttc thread that I haven't babbled in. Only signed up to net mums today and already stalking! It's my 4th cycle ttc baby no.1. AF is due to arrive in 9 days. I'm a symptom spotter addict and this month have tried to be more reasonable however, it's hard not too. We've dtd more times than ever this month and have also been using preseed so fingers crossed this is the one. I've been getting headaches and feeling super dizzy which is unlike me. But again... I've worked a couple of night shifts so could just be that...

Baby dust to all of you!

itssquidstella · 22/08/2019 18:38

AF is due around the 5th or 6th for me. I'm not expecting anything this month as have only dtd twice (Monday and yesterday) and ovulation is today or tomorrow, but will keep an eye out anyway. Annoyingly DH is away this weekend so can't have another crack tonight!

lilbeansy01 · 22/08/2019 18:33

AF due 2nd sept and I've been symptom spotting 😂 ridiculous so need something to keep me sane. Currently 5dpo 🤞🤷🏼‍♀️

FilthyforFirth · 21/08/2019 23:28

Only managed once this month in fertile window so not holding out any hope. Due 28/29 aug. Trying not to test unti late...

Sore breasts so trying to ignore the voice telling me I am pregnant as no other symptoms so very unlikely...

imnewtothis · 21/08/2019 20:05

I'm going to jump on if that's okay, 3rd cycle ttc, ov predicted for 2 days time, using clear blue ovulation sticks this time to see if they're any good. AF due 7th September!

MrsMeow2019 · 21/08/2019 19:46

@firsttimemum1993 Sorry to hear about your MMC, fingers crossed for you this month and for a sticky one!

It's quite scary isn't it, there's all the stress of TTC and then once you get a BFP all the worry and risk of it not working out, and I can only imagine you feel that way through the entire pregnancy.

What are we letting ourselves in for ! lol

firsttimemum1993 · 21/08/2019 19:41

@Bezalelle girl I feel your vibe I never thought I'd resort to chatting online about all this but jesus our men must get so bored of the hype... my partner is like Hayley c'mon now please stop 😂😂 x

firsttimemum1993 · 21/08/2019 19:39

@Positivity2019 I had to just google the AVA bracelet im clueless and learning all the TTC business, only thing I do know is the sex part 🤭💁🏽‍♀️

i have never used the ovulation sticks before as I was not really taken with the reviews on here, did u find them helpful? And when did you use them on the day you think your ovulating or days leading up? Sorry I sound so silly but google is my only way of knowing the TTC process x

firsttimemum1993 · 21/08/2019 19:36

@MrsMeow2019 what are we like 🤭 I only have the stinging nips its actually pretty sore but no other symptoms but my last MMC pregnancy I didn't have any symptoms apart from the stingy nips 🙋🏾‍♀️ xx
