Anyone looking to start TTC in New Year?

Join here please! I’m still taking my pill at the moment but current packet runs out on 7th Jan so planning to start then but not really track anything officially. I’ve been reading up about conception vitamins and going to buy some this week to start taking after new year- does anyone have recommendations for particular brands?
Will be my first but partners 2nd, very nervous but excited at the same time. No idea what to expect but hoping to have some ladies in the same situation to chat to!

@lastonetime Aghh not long! Will you test or wait? Good luck

rachTTC · 14/01/2020 17:27

Thanks everyone, will keep you updated!
I’m still about nervous about it with it only being faint! Hopefully they get darker 🤞🏻

Congrats @rachTTC!!!

lastonetime · 14/01/2020 16:35

Congratulations @rachTTC!

I'm due Saturday, not hugely hopeful but you've made want to test now 🙈 I have a lone test somewhere...👀

rhirhibumblebee · 14/01/2020 16:00

@rachTTC Yay! I always prefer First Response for some reason!!

@hannah17381 Good luck !

My advice for TTC...

Previously I liked temping. It's not for everyone but I used an app to track my temperature absolutely first thing on waking every morning all month. I also used ovulation test kits from about day 10 of my cycle (I've got a pretty long cycle so you may want to start earlier or later in your month) I also recommend using a fertility friendly lube. I quite liked pre seed.
I like the use of an app as it tracks lots of data such as when I might have a headache. All of the data then gave me a good picture of my overall fertility 'health' and when I was ovulating and that I was ovulating at a good time of the month in relation to my period. Sex every other day is always a safe bet if you don't want to do things the measured way.... and using OPKs help you have sex every day for a few days in a row to encourage success. Good luck!

Not sure if this is the right thread, but seemed a good bet. I’ve just joined and have an appointment to get my coil taken out on Thursday.
No idea what to expect but fancied finding some friends for this crazy journey.
I have TTC before, without success, but a lot is different this time.

EffRam · 14/01/2020 13:25

eek congratulations @rachTTC!!!

RBSK1 · 14/01/2020 12:56

How fast does this thread move?! I came off the pill on the 1st December. Still no AF or withdrawal?? Tested last Tuesday and Saturday both BFN. I’m far too impatient to wait for my first AF after coming off cerazette.
Anyone got any advice??

rachTTC · 14/01/2020 10:38

I think I’m in shock! Haha

rachTTC · 14/01/2020 10:37

Will do another digital next week! I’m due AF on Friday so I’m 11dpo today!

Lola871 · 14/01/2020 10:04

@RachTTC the FRER looks good, the digitals are less sensitive but always have two lines when you take them apart I believe (I'm sure I've read that somewhere whilst reading these boards!)

However a positive on a FRER is a positive so that's amazing news! Are you late yet?

rachTTC · 14/01/2020 10:02

So did another frer this morning and again another line! Also took a cb digital but come back negative but took it apart and it had this!

@rachTTC I bet if you did the FRER with very first morning urine. But a line is a line!!

switcharoo · 14/01/2020 07:01

Can def see a line there!!

Spark27 · 14/01/2020 06:21

@rachTTC I was worried about the first test as they usually say to disregard any results that come up out of the time window. But if the second one was a FRER and came up in the 3 mins then it's looking hopeful. There is definately a very faint line there. I have no idea on the whole evap lines though, but yours is there and pink.

Have you got another FRER? Could you do a test this morning with FMU? I would like to recommend to wait til tomorrow but I know I definately wouldn't. Good luck to you. Very exciting x

rachTTC · 13/01/2020 23:29

Ok so I couldn’t wait! came up within 3 mins! It’s very faint! Am I being silly?

@rachTTC good luck! Can definitely see it but have heard bad things about blue dye tests

Jessiebells · 13/01/2020 22:25

Hi everyone!
hoping I can get some advice on the clearblue advanced ovulation test. How long did you “high fertility” the flashing smiley face last? Just curious as to when it will turn static.
Thanks ladiesSmile

Lola871 · 13/01/2020 22:00

@rachTTC fingers crossed for you!!

I ordered my first batch of OPKs today, wasn't planning on using them but would like to get a rough idea of when I ovulate this cycle and then go from there. My cycles aren't completely regular so I figured it might help.

rachTTC · 13/01/2020 21:43

i don’t think so no! Unless I didn’t wait the 10 minutes! I’m going to do a frer tomorrow! Will update you guys! 🤞🏻🥰

rhirhibumblebee · 13/01/2020 21:36

@rachTTC I see it, was it not there at all within 10 mins then? Did you wait the full 10 mins. Only thing to do is wait a day or even better two and test again. Fingers crossed!! 🥰

TheLastStark · 13/01/2020 21:20

I see it too! @RachTTC

switcharoo · 13/01/2020 20:40

Also sore boobs were my only sign when pregnant with DS!

switcharoo · 13/01/2020 20:39

I can definitely see it @rachTTC ! Fingers crossed for you! I've been stung on blue dye evaps before, maybe try tomorrow morning and see if it's gets stronger
