Anyone looking to start TTC in New Year?

@charlesthekudu I was thinking the same...is the plan you've said based on a 28 day cycle ? I'm on day 7 tomo and have 25/26 day cycles.

I'm going to try the SMEP plan next month. Sex every other day from day 8 in your cycle. Then day ten start also using OPKs. When you get a positive have sex three dats in a row, skip a day then sex one more time. Then 15 days after that first OPK you can use a pregnancy test. Seems pretty simple

Started to get lines on my OPKs! Woohoo, that's a positive sign 🤣

Was hoping to DTD today but OH has gone out and is out again tomorrow which is annoying. Ov not due for a few more days though so will make up for it over the weekend!

@professorastrocat thanks, its nice to have an anxiousness buddy. We were really lucky the first time and it only took one cycle go so I think that's put more pressure on this time.

I don't think I'd be able to guess properly so I'll be using opks every month @Ginger87 , even though I'm pretty regular with everything you just never know!
I'm also 37 @LynseyLou1982 so I'll join you in the anxiousness. Esp as my oh is 41. Also trying for no 2

Had my implant out end of November 😁 I'm so excited to start trying.
I've been taking pregnacare but they make me feel a little yucky unless I eat a huge breakfast. Might start taking them with my evening meal instead.
I test again early February, can't wait. Anyone else?

Can I join? We've just started trying for baby number 2. Stopped my pill on the 17th January. I was on Cerazette so no idea how long it will take things to get back to normal but considering my age (I'm 37) thought we'd better crack on with it. If I'm honest I'm more nervous and anxious this time than the first time being 2 years older. I've just been taking Folic Acid and Vitamin D.

Thank you for the heads up @abelisha

@charlesthekudu yeah, I think I'll start doing that next month. The guess work is too stressful otherwise! Though might rearrange this evening's plans just in case...😉

@Ginger87 I find I get EWCM at non ova times too. Your best best is OPKs to double check. Good luck!

Morning all, I have a tmi EWCM question...

I definitely had a fair bit of EWCM on Sunday so assumed I had ovulated. But the last couple of days has seen my CM has quite been changeable, with a little bit off EW but mainly quite dry and a bit sticky. But this morning it was much more EW again?? Has this happened to anyone else?

Trouble is, I'm out late tonight so might be hard to DTD...

@rhirhibumblebee that would be cool... That was actually the day I told my husband I was pregnant last time!!!

Wow had a good few days off here and missed all the BFPs so massive congratulations everyone!! Super excited for you all.
Nothing really to update from my perspective awaiting any sign of anything have been off the pill three weeks now, so I know I just need to be patient.

@EffRam I'm excited for a potential BFP on Valentine's Day! Haha! Xxx

@rhirhibumblebee Period here, right on time. Oh well!! I did feel a bit disappointed obviously but tbh the timing wouldn't have been ideal this month for various reasons (would have been due right around my son's birthday, we have a wedding abroad coming up end of summer and various things on at work in September) so onwards and upwards! Also my cycle was perfectly regular again so that is all helpful data Roll on the next round...

@TheLastStark just a heads up - when I went to give blood after my honeymoon to Orlando this year, I wasn't allowed as that too is a zika risk

Morning all, see we're all just chucking along on the journey.

DH and I are still debating whether or not to give this month a proper go and begin in April.

It's also a bit annoying as we're planning our honeymoon for wedding #2 and most places we're thinking of (Mexico, etc) are still a zika risk. We'll probably "end up" in New York/Orlando which would still be a fantastic holiday!!

Morning! Not posted as not had much to say... still non the wiser what's going on here. Am seeing the GP on Monday so fingers crossed they can help.

Currently Cycle Day 56, I'm in 2 minds whether to do another test before Monday - last did one (First Response) 12th Jan, I'm wondering whether to try a different brand but not sure

Last few days my boobs have been sore but nothing major & ive been super emotional - I cried at the tv last night

Still no AF this morning but instead a stomach bug so that might of delayed it I guess!

Morning! AF arrived bang on time. Which I'm actually pleased that everything is back to normal at least!

@EffRam Yes looks like it! Hopefully yours doesn't show but if it does were AF buddies again xx

@eitak22 exactly the same here 😞

Still waiting for AF to properly start cycle 1. Definitely later than normal which is v frustrating!

@rhirhibumblebee Ah I'm sorry to hear that - but secretly glad that I will have a buddy for next month!

Hope you're feeling ok.

@loveandsparkles I feel the same, first two were quick. But admittedly I didn't track my periods or anything like I am now. So now it's on my mind all the time wondering what day I'm on etc!

@professorastrocat Hey!! Good luck. AF due tomorrow for me and had BFN so as of tomorrow it will be cycle 2 after MC. Trying for #3, our last.

@EffRam Also had BFN on FRER so I'm expecting AF to arrive tomorrow!

@lucymagoo Awww that's good!

I finally have my withdrawal bleed! 5 weeks after coming off the pill. So relieved 😂
