Anyone looking to start TTC in New Year?

Just tested and as predicted (luckily for now) BFN. Will test against in 2 weeks I've been really hormonal this week and my boobs are so sore! Fingers crossed for AF soon then I can have more of an idea when to DTD when the time comes!

@FootballAndBeer145 just the standard folic acid here although I am considering picking up some of the pregnacare conception stuff.

@Lola871 I know what you mean I keep reading all these boards a lot!! Super excited to say I'm officially off the pill as of yesterday. Let's see what my body does. :) Hope everyone else is doing ok.

I'm sure it's not healthy the amount of time I spend reading these boards when we can't even try for another 3 weeks 🤣 have a nice weekend everyone, welcome @eitak22 and @FootballAndBeer145

I'm a bit late to the party here (standard for me) so hope it's ok to join

First time ttc - still trying to work out what app works best for me- currently using Ovia, Glow & Clue: they don't seem to be saying the same thing for same day

What vitamins is everyone taking? Me & DP been taking pregnacare conception his & hers for about 3 months

Is it ok if i join? DH and i had a heart to heart and said we'd like to 'low presure' start trying but would be great to have some people to talk to as can't talk to anyone in RL obviously.

@yoomoo, I know. Means I've had to shave my legs, urgh.

@rhirhibumblebee, sorry to hear about the MC. Fingers crossed for decreasing HCG and ovulating in Feb.

I don't like this tww business, I'm so impatient!

Hey! Yeah, ok, I'm still waiting for my period to arrive but we are now on day 31...

@rhirhibumblebee will you be doing Ovulation testing this month to double check?

@rhirhibumblebee sorry to hear about your miscarriage x

OP I think I will be resting Sunday 19th... if I've not come on by then! Last pregnancy I got a BFP on 11DPO but I had temped and tracked cycles for a few months... unsure exactly when I'm due to ov, expecting a flashy smiley face in the next couple of days or I will feel disheartened for this month!

Been a busy few days at work, how is everyone doing???

I think I'm out for this month as I was hoping to ovulate Monday (according to Flo) but I had my bloods done on Thursday and HCG is still 25 from my miscarriage in November!! Can't believe it! I have read you can't ovulate if it's in your system still. I've even had a normal period since the miscarriage.

So I think I'm joining the Febs!! (Hopefully)
🥰

Afternoon I'm on CD 11 but my periods are slightly short so according to my app I should ovulate Sunday
We conceived first cycle on my last two pregnancies (one miscarriage, on DD) so I'm hoping it'll all run well! 🤞

@Spark27 good you're in you're fertile window! I just tested with an OPK and not fertile yet. I hope I tested early and didn't miss it!

@BernadetteThreep that's good about your DS. It's horrid when they are ill.

I'm feeling rubbish today. Trying to cut down the caffeine at the moment so didn't have any coffee yesterday. Got a banging headache today and very grumpy, so just about to have one. Also really irritable with OH, not ideal as it's the time for DTD

Hi @SaharaRoxy fx on trying for #2. I'm trying for my 2nd as well. I'm only on CD 11 and not due to ovulate until Tuesday. I'm in my fertile window though. 2nd cycle attempt for us, but my last cycle was really messed up. Fortunately this one seems to be running according to my app at the mo

I've just started the 2WW anyone else?! I also opened a specific 2ww thread if anyone wants to join!

Good luck everyone, this is my first month TTC for my second baby. Baby one is 18 months old, I'm still bf so am not temping or anything. My periods returned 4 month post partum regular as clockwork despite me bf exclusively! Hope that's a good sign! I've not been on any contraception so I hope my body is ready. I'd love my baby to be just turned two and the next one on its way!

Morning all! DS is as right as rain this morning, was just a blip.

Still no AF, but definitely feeling much calmer about it all. I've read some people get pregnant before a bleed after implant, I suspect I'm not going to be one of them.

How is everyone else doing?

@BernadetteThreep I hope your DS is OK. Got to love the calpol. It's like crack for kids.

I don't think you can tell how you'll feel about going back to work until you're there. I went through so many different emotions during my mat leave. I didn't want to go back after the year, but had to, and am so pleased I did. The chance to wee in peace and drink a hot coffee (not at the same time) is not a given anymore

All caught up, so nice to see others looking forward to starting or expanding their families.

Also, I can't stop thinking about announcing the pregnancy! My DH and I are already legally married but had to delay the ceremony/party until September, and I would love to have a bump/announcement at the wedding! We debated back and forth to wait until after the wedding but we are ready and felt silly delaying something for one day so here we are!

This is our first proper month of trying. I want to remain calm but feel I won't manage that!
Yeah men are funny, mine is asking why I keep reading up on TTC he said it's easy you just have sex!

My best friend has been laughing at me in pain all day, she said goodness help her once I’m pregnant. Ha men can be so funny. 🤣🤣

Haha that made me laugh @yoomoo, it’s more my nipple than my boob, it’s so sore for a few minutes and then goes away. Back pain doesn’t sound very nice.

Ooh, I hope it's not too late to join! Excited to finally join in one of these threads I just had my IUD out in December and waiting for my period before we get started.

Wishing you all the best of luck!

Also a weird question on those of you taking pregnacare: have you had any spitting or cramps after taking it? I've had to switch to the Boots brand as I wasn't getting on with it
