Anyone looking to start TTC in New Year?

Hi everyone! I had a load of EWCM last night which I was of course pleased about! Looks like I'm either ovulating or about to in the next two days or so 😀.

@butterflylove81 How old are your other two? I have two boys 6 and 2. Haha that was my OH first concern - the car! We have a big estate so it would be fine but he's of course looking at bigger cars already 🙄😂.

@yoomoo Ahh AF ! Yay!

@Lola871 Good luck! I'm almost in the TWW if not from today possibly.

@yoomoo good news that AF is here! I'm on 2dpo I think, didn't get a positive OPK but got the usual ovulation pains. So I'm in the TWW but not feeling too stressed about it, work wise it'll probably be better for it to take a couple of cycles.

Anyone near testing at the moment?

Hi @yoomoo, I keep popping on to have a look, hoping that you guys get your BFPs. Fingers crossed for all of you.

I hit 5w on tuesday, but waited till today to do my last CB digital. Got my 3+ so now going to stop with the urge to POAS

Wishing you all baby dust soon xx

@Newbie0818 I think implantation can happen anytime from now until just before AF is due, but I think a lot of women don't feel anything when it happens. I know what you mean about the window!!

@yoomoo so pleased AF is here! I started tracking from my withdrawal bleed.

@FootballAndBeer145 and @butterflylove81 sorry about your results. Fingers crossed for your various appointments!

@JaffaCakeGal well done on the not smoking! I know what you mean about getting your body ready, I went out with my team after work today and stuck to flavoured tonic... didn't even miss the gin. I'm not giving up the booze completely though until I get a BFP.

@yoomoo yeay!! So pleased for you

I've also been reading but not posting. According to Ovia I was fertile the last week gone and we DTD 5 times in that time haha (just because, not as an actual TTC effort)! Although it is the first cycle after AF/withdrawal so could be total wrong! So now just waiting to see what happens (even though it still would be better for it not to happen this time!)

Still not smoking, barely drank in weeks, I think I just want my body to be ready

@yoomoo congrats 
I was so excited when FF gave me crosshairs the other day. Genuinely gutted she has now taken them back. That no mans land is torture!!

@FootballAndBeer145 sorry about bloods
@butterflylove81 sorry about prolactin

I've been a bit upset my prolactin levels came back raised waiting to speak to the gp

Afternoon.. How are we all doing?

Feeling pretty rubbish about ttc today. Blood tests came back & a few have abnormal levels got to wait for a scan & then will see the GP again.

@Ginger87 haha! When do they say implantation usually happens? Wish we had a window in our bellies to show us what’s happening :P

@Newbie0818 I hear ya! I'm 6dpo too and think every twinge could be implantation... it's usually just gas 🤦‍♀️

Rhirhibumblebee yes same I've been really wanting another but I'm 39 this year and so I agree there's just that bit of worry that it might not happen I know I need to relax more I genuinely just was over the moon my husband now is saying he's like a third he was a bit worried at first but more so about things like how do you get them all in the car. We bought an smax it has 3 isofix but he was still confused

Spot*

I’m currently 6dpo and trying not to symptom spotting every 5 second 😂 Anyone else?

Ovulated on cd26 so no idea when af is due! according to last months cycle it should’ve been yesterday, but with the late ovulation and all...

@Effram how long is your cycle? My AF only lasted 4 days this time so I'm wondering whether to count the day before as AF starting as I was spotting a lot. I always have 6 day periods so was really strange to be so short. It's messed up my app 😂

@butterflylove81 I spotted randomly last cycle before my period. I'm pretty sure I'd never had it before! It really threw me off! Also trying for our third and like you the other two happened without any real 'trying'. I'm trying to not be in a rush but also anxious that it may not happen, if you know what I mean !

Thanks everyone sorry for being a pain I think it's just that because I haven't had this feeling before if really wanting something because it's my 3rd and the others just happened. So I didn't know how to deal with the feeling of wanting to be pregnant so much I wanted to try last September but my husband needed a bit more time to feel ready to do it again so I'd just suddenly felt a lot of emotion all at once

Oh could it? We didn't dtd that day had a day off but did the three days prior I'm hoping to try again tonight thanks for telling me that I didn't know you could spot at ovulation I seem to just have a period then it stops until the following month.

@butterflylove81 the spotting could also be ovulation and timing works for that?

Angel thanks yeah I'm not sure if the opks are that helpful thinking they are making me more anxious actually. I'm going to just dtd this week anyway even if I get negatives but my stupid brain yesterday made me think maybe I ovulated randomly after my period and I was hoping the spotting was some kind of implantation but I don't think that's possible because it would have been too early for implantation. I think I just started worrying there was something wrong with me or my fertility because I don't usually get spotting in between periods and never even had it in early pregnancy before

Effram yeah I had a period in between I guess I don't know my cycle really well I don't know if I was having short cycles so was just getting a bit confused by when there's a chance I could be fertile and got a bit worried when I started spotting about a 10 days after my period as I don't usually get that I just don't know at my age if I'll ovulate every month and just got a bit worried that I'm supposedly in my fertile week and am not really detecting anything on an opk

@rhirhibumblebee Clue and natural cycles saying Thursday for me so still a week to go... My cycle is longer than yours! I am feeling impatient now which I know is not that helpful in month 2, but we are really busy so that should help the time to pass!

@butterflylove81 Sorry I'm a bit confused, you had a positive on 2nd/9th? have you had a period in the middle? I would keep using OPKs but I never really see a positive, I just see them get darker then fade!

Hi everyone, how are you all? Just catching up.

@Effram I'm good thank you, are you? I hadn't been feeling well but I'm much better now! Had a hard week last week with my eldest who has ADHD amongst other things but we're all having a good week so far... touch wood! I think I'm due to ovulate Monday although my Flo app is telling me Sunday for some reason! When do you reckon ov day is for you??

@LynseyLou1982 totally get the wanting to start tracking properly thing! I'm waiting too, post mirena. But think I got dotted crosshairs on FF so hopefully......

@butterflylove81 I haven’t had an OPK peak yet (I don’t think) and on CD19 today , was hoping I am one of these CD20/21 people now so will see. Try not to look into it so much and rely on the OPKs and keep DTD when you believe you are most fertile. This is my first cycle off the pill so not sure what to expect with my body but my AF did start about 2/3 days after my withdrawal bleed and I used to have a regular cycle but just can’t be sure I’m going back to that same cycle! So now just hoping I either have a positive OPK or that i do a test in a couple week and get a BFP or my AF comes again either way I just want something to happen! Feels like disappointment after disappointment with OPKs and think it can have a negative effect! Keep positive :)
