TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies #2

That is a possibility I guess too@Makeafamily19
This is last months

Fingers crossed @Gigi318 really hoping my body is adjusting positively.

@claireb707 I never have either till last month but we DTD straight after my period finished so maybe that's why as could be old blood hanging around that was then agitated??? Who knows! Not sure about the pain, but maybe we are just more conscious of any pains or twinges when TTC. Is it bad enough for painkillers?
Here is my first BBT chart from last month, though people's charts can very so much it's hard to compare!

@claireb707 could you have already O, babe?? Hmm. Or I would believe you are O or about to as I usually get cramps from O too. So maybe this is your body just adjusting?? Keep DTD just in case! Maybe your LH levels are low??? Wow, you can tell I am the least bit scientific 😂🙈

@Lizziedu49 well hello there chick, and welcome! This is my fave thread. My OG one 🙊 the ladies here are lovely! So exciting. What CD/OPK are you again?

Hello all! Why hello there @Gigi318 ☺️
First time TTC, first cycle, been using CB OPKs and the Clue app (which I really rate BTW!). Just here because it's nice to being going through it with other people!!!

It could be but what about the period type pain? I've never bled after dtd before.
Using wandfo cheapies from Amazon and cb digital opks - not even a hint of smiley flashing or otherwise.

@Makeafamily19 good call chick. I once had spotting after DTD. I think I got scratched somehow 😂🙈

@claireb707 oh goodness me, girl - lord knows! I'm rubbish at BBT, but does that drop and then increase mean anything? Maybe peak will be tomorrow?? It is climbing? What kind of OPKs are you using. I don't do either but I just say as long as you're DTD regularly and aiming for the middle of cycle, so CD15 of 30 day cycle or CD12 of 24/26, you'll be covered. If all else fails, just DTD. That's how it was done in the olden days and families of 5/6/7 were the norm 🙊😂 back to basics sounds so appealing to me 💖💖💖

@claireb707 could it be from DTD? I had very light spotting for a day a couple of days after DTD last month and month before. Never had it before but it can cause it. Other than that I'm not sure! I know some women get ovulation spotting but as you say it doesn't seem like you've ovulated yet.

Sorry to hear that @Katie1109 😢

Confused.com here again.

Cd9, opk negative (ovulated cd10 last month), but have now had light spotting for 3 days which I've never normally had before around ovulation and now I've got what feels like period pains. What is going on?

Temps don't indicate ovulation either 😩

@Katie1109 atta gal. Nothing a good run can't fix. Always makes me feel better - and more energised. Plus, CD3 means you're just closer to O again. Girl, you've got this 💖

@Katie1109 arghhh! That really is frustrating. So sorry chick. So is this now CD1? Hard to know when to count it!

@Hewie30 they were sooooo mild. The most uncrampy cramps. Definitely more like twinges. It sort of felt like pulling or stretching. Not like a dull cramp. But we shall see, shan't we 🤞🏻 And I am so disappointed that there isn't a poppy seed emoji. Not even a dot!! But there we are!
Well, AF is due on 23rd and I do want to test then. I'd be 15DPO. Or maybe 22nd at 14DPO - what do you think??
Nope. Pasta is life. I just can't trust people that don't eat carbs 🤣 Masochists!
Woohoo 34 day cycle is normal chick, wooohooo this is amazing. Let's hope that happens. Or maybe it could be the stress of TTC?? Either way, this relaxes approach is great. Well, I wouldn't worry - because as long as you get some little swimmers within 24 hours you're good 🙌🏻 just make sure you enjoy it and relax. Yayyy it seems like your cycle is really calming woohoo!

@gigi318 Ooo those cramps could be implantation hopefully 🤞🤞. When you thinking of testing or are you going to wait until AF is late? You can't beat pasta, funnily enough I had some for lunch just now haha! 😂.
Whaoo!! 🙌. Yeah that's what I'm thinking, maybe the pregnacare did effect my cycle and I just didn't know it. It would have delayed it by a week which is madness. It's got me down as a 34 day cycle so that's the same as the first two months of being off the pill.
Yeah exactly! I'm trying to keep that thought in my head although I would have liked to dtd a few times during my fertile window and not have to rely on tonight

@Raizelrea just checking in and sending you lots of love and positive thoughts. Hope your family is as doing as well as they can be. Take care of yourself this month, my love. And we're all here if you need a rant 💖💖💖

@Peaceandloves hehehehe love you! Well, I used to be easily stressed and bitter and resentful (vile, vile qualities) and then realised that's just no way to live. It's a choice! Why would you choose to live negatively when the alternative is to be happy! I sound like a nut, I know - but it's liberating. I just try my best to focus on the good and get excited about little things like nice meals with my chap, baths, a good book. It all helps 😘😘😘

@Gigi318 I need some of this magic pasta you eat because I honestly don't know how you stay so upbeat and positive! Love Reading your messages! X

@Katie1109 arghhh chick it's so frustrating. Even if you don't test this month and you're sure it could be AF, then you have the tests that come today for next month. So it's okay. Well, not okay but you know what I mean!

@Hewie30 hello my loveeee. How are we??? Hurrah. This is amazing news. So either coming off Pregnacare or just being more relaxed has helped the cycle length. Hurrah! Hopefully we will be looking at a 32-33 day cycle compared to 40+ then. Hurrah!!!! And babe, it's exactly that. It literally takes one little swimmer. And you only need one load for that 🙌🏻 so don't sweat it. Just get to it 👏🏻
Nothing to report from me. I'm 8DPO. No really symptoms. Slight twinges/cramping 5-7DPO. I also have a stiff neck and sleep deprived but other than that, I'm peachy. Pasta for dinner so can't be mad at life 😂🙌🏻

Morning ladies! How are we all? Any updates for me 😍😍.
I'm totally surprised and got positive opk today so im hoping to ovulate tomorrow at cd 19. So much earlier then cd26 last month. A tad annoying as we haven't dtd during the fertile window apart from hopefully tonight. But as they say it only takes one time 🤷

@Katie1109 definitely worth a try, you never know!! Thanks babes, it will be Tuesday before we know it. Literally no symptoms this time around, so who knows if thats a good thing. No cramping/twinges today either. Let's hope it stays that way!!
