Anyone looking to start TTC in New Year?

@Spark27 I'm having the same issue with different apps all saying different things, no idea what one is right. I just go from the earliest day to the latest date on them.

Day 42 of this cycle & nine the wiser to what's going on. Don't seem to be getting signs of AF but a pregnancy test on Sunday was negative. I'm starting to wonder if travelling to the US mid December has messed my cycles up.

@DontGoJasonWaterfalls I had cramps through a lot of my pregnancy with DD, might not be ruled out just yet!

Got my positive OPK yesterday 🎉 managed to DTD, been feeling really queasy today which I know is really impossible! But I was very sick with DD for most of the pregnancy so can't help but hope

Due on the 18th so going to try my best not to test before then!

@DontGoJasonWaterfalls could be implantation cramps?

Starting to get cramps so I think I may be out before I've even taken a test! 🙄 Kind of relieved though as now I can hopefully go to Italy in September 😁

Evening,
So I'm confused. My app says I will ovulate today, but another ovulation calculator says Thursday. Had a lot of CM but not sure if watery or egg white. But have been having a lot of ovulation twinges all day.
I downloaded the femometer app (but didn't seem to have to pay. Is there an advanced level you pay for that does all the stats?) when I took a pic of my OPK it was saying high and 51, but not peak.
So I think I'll have to keep testing and DTD until Thursday to see if it peaks.

@DontGoJasonWaterfalls a FRER could pick it up, but I've read that implantation can occur between 9-12 DPO, so it could still take a will. Fingers crossed for you x

Afternoon everyone! I wasn't sure if I'd ovulate or not this month but I had so much EWCM yesterday that I'm a tiny bit hopefully that I did!! Eeek.

@loveandsparkles We're TTC number 3 too. I have two boys age 6 and 2.

@JaffaCakeGal I haven't told mine haha! He wouldn't get it 🙈.

@Spark27Good luck! I'm really hoping I did yesterday. Fingers crossed for us!

@switcharoo ahhh good luck! Just started for me too and not even sure if I ovulate but still eager for the next two weeks to fly by!

@EffRam same here with the testing! I always say I'll just wait but I know I won't. I'm hoping I can be patient

@DontGoJasonWaterfalls Fingers crossed for you!

@dontgojasonwaterfalls

You're most likely to get a clear result from when your period is due, but some tests e.g. first response will show up beforehand. However, if they don't show up yet that doesn't always mean it's negative, your body needs to have a good amount of the hormone in your body which is usually when you're late!

Basically I'm saying - it's sensible to wait until you're late but I am terrible and always test early!!

I am 12 dpo I think according to my cycle... When is the right time to test? Do I wait until my period is late?

@switcharoo same for me, I think! App said tomorrow but I think I felt ov pains yesterday and the test was really dark yesterday and lighter today.

My husband got in at 1 so made him perform then and also snuck an extra one in this morning after we dropped the baby at childcare so fingers crossed!

I'm going to try not to test until / unless I'm late but last time I was obsessed so we will see how long I last...

@Ginger87 I cannot remember what AF is really like either. Good luck with all the house stuff we are hoping to put our house on the market within the next couple of months.

@yoomoo the OPKs seem like a whole other world of science not sure I'm ready for all that. But glad it seems things are going in the right direction for you with regards to ovulation.

Also hope to meet some new mum friends when the time comes as haven't really got many friends with children. Would also be nice to share experience with people in a similar situation.

And so my TWW starts... testing feels so long away and it sounds silly but I just don't 'feel' pregnant so thinking I'm out for this month but hoping that mindset will mean I don't feel disappointed when/if AF arrives

Morning all, and welcome all the new faces

Apps are predicting start of AF today and tbh, I do feel the twinges so fingers crossed it starts soon!

Morning all. Fingers crossed I ovulate today. It feel immenent and my main tracking app is saying today, but a did a sneaky look on another calculator yesterday (why!) and it said Thursday. Going to have to take a OPK to work with me and hopefully I'll get chance to do it later.

Hello @loveandsparkles, lovely to have you on the thread. xx

Re the telling people... loads of people know I'm obsessed with checking mumsnet (mainly for the crazy threads) but I've only told my OH that I'm on a conception thread I told my mum and a couple of friends I've come off the pill though!

@lucymagoo no way! We're looking in Croxley Green - seems like a beautiful village! But the area in general looks ideal.

We've been looking ages, thought we'd found somewhere last year but it fell through at the last minute so fingers crossed this one works out.

Hi, I'm looking to start ttc no 3. I next ovulate around 23rd January I have two girls who are 3 and 1. We've been discussing this for a year hubby was a bit nervous but he's come around and we've been talking honestly and openly today he started a new job in October and was worried about trying for a baby soon in to his new job as both my previous pregancies were quite hard and he had to help quite a lot. Fingers crossed we will start trying in 3 weeks but it might be feb or March if he feels he needs a bit more headspace at work first

@Ginger87 oh my gosh we are in Watford! Just outside it in the suburbs. Love it here I would definitely recommend, very close to London but feels like its own little town

Thanks for posting the picture @yoomoo, that's exactly what mine has looked like for the last few days so hopefully I'm right in the zone. Fingers crossed as I think both me and DH are actually getting a bit bored of DTD at the moment

I'm happy to take full responsibility @yoomoo

It's a shame you and your OH are on opposite shifts this week, but maybe OV will wait until Friday!

@yoomoo yes I would expect that to go darker in the next day or so so ovulation imminent!

I have a great antenatal group from my first baby, both from on here (it moved onto fb) and the real life one we did (bump and baby club, like nct). I would really recommend the classes even if you plan to have a c section. They cover lots of useful stuff for when baby is here and ours included some c section prep too, as well as baby and child first aid. But also it was great to meet local friends!

@yoomoo haha it's such a fun app isn't it! The test looks like it could very well turn positive in the next day or so! Good luck
