TTC awhile now

@BFP2020 It is disheartening it all feels a bit draining!! I'm in no mega rush to get pregnant but i would be very happy if I was.
I thought I might have endo but drs seemed to have just dismissed me. I have really bad period pains and always get diarrhoea when I'm on my period and get bloated etc. I've had a scan for PCOS and they said the endometrium looks ok but I thought you needed key hole surgery to detect it?
I just sense somethings up because everyone I speak to seems to get pregnant within a few months. But because I'm having periods the drs don't really consider it an issue.
It's good to speak to people going through similar journeys xx
How olds your first ?

@Hola84 that's interesting! I haven't been using the sticks or anything yet because unsure when to use them and some people say you have to do it a lot throughout the day which I won't have time with work. Xxx

@swirls3468 sorry misspelled your name x

@swirls3684, hey! cycle 7 now and first time using the OPKs as I was getting frustrated, especially as our first baby was conceived after the first try. I was always counting the dates and following the period apps, but the OPKs showed my OV day was later than I thought, which some ladies here suggested. I was certainly obsessed at some point looking for this second line, but glad I did, as I know 100% we DTD on the OV day xx

@BFP2020 I'm due on 9th, already got the dreaded period pain so presume it's coming. How long have you been ttc?

@Ellsbells112 fuck yes!🌈

@BFP2020 oh I will! It's only 3 day break then it'll be back to the continuous baby dancing. I will absolutely be NOT doing this next month if it doesn't work out so I will resume normal 'service'. I.e posts about stuff that isn't about sex basically.

Jesus I'm boring myself now. This ttc life 🤷‍♀️

Hi everyone!
Joining this thread-
Ttc first baby
Cycle day 27 usually have 31 day cycles but have been a little irregular since coming off the pill.
This is cycle 4 of trying so next cycle beginning 9th will be 5th.

Really broody and want a baby so so much.
I am 23, boyfriend 33.

Anyone have any tips and tricks of detecting ovulation? I haven't got a clue if I do even ovulate... I presume I am if I'm having periods.
I'm not doing the opks etc cus I feel like it will make me more obsessed.

@BFP2020, ah it's not working again, but yeah the line is looking strong! Nothing like the faint ones I have been getting over past few days x

@BTP2020 I've tried to upload the pic, hopefully it will come through in a minute x

@Chanel05 did you have to get a referral for the tests by your GP even though you went privately, or did you just arrange it yourself? X

Ah, hurrah! The OPKs is showing two lines! So Ov later than I thought, but after DTD for past three days and again later today, I am full of hope! Let's do this! X

@ChampooPapi come on! Haha where are you in your cycle? I'm 6dpo x

let's do this 💪

@Tamalama yes I think it's just if your partner has slower/low sperm count or something now, that they suggest taking a day off in between. However I will certainly not be doing it next month , I just have no idea about ovulation Currently with my different cycles so need to cover all bases and kind of an experiment I guess 🤷‍♀️

He's also away three days from today so I won't be on my back all month 😏

CD10 today and have now dtd 7 days in a row, really enjoyed it so far and it's been at different times ect so still joyful and a spontaneous.

I'm going for a follow up with my Dr Thursday about my surgical management back in October , I assume all is ok but after hearing absolutely nothing since I do want to see what's what.very short periods since so something's a bit off, but I was pregnant for nearly three months and I'm only on my third month trying so I imagine i could be looking at a winter baby at this point

@Tamalama, @BTP2020 thanks :-) my longest cycle has been 29 days back in November. No other symptoms really, I usually get bloated belly, sensitive boobs and back pain, but this is just literally a couple of days before the period is coming, and more of a heads up. Next month I will test from the first day after period is over to be absolutely sure when I'm ov. There is a tiny little bit of hope left that Ov didn't happen yet, but we've been DTDing around the Ov dates over past six months and nothing, so maybe I am wrong with regards to the Ov date as I don't get any symptoms. I would love for one of us to get a bfp this month! Fingers crossed for all of you x

@Hola84 I'd still dtd if you can because you may not have yet ovulated? X

@ChampooPapi ahh I didn't realise that, interesting article too. I guess the thing is I don't think I can be arsed to do it for 6-7 days in a row 😂 fingers crossed you get your bfp his month, what dpo are you?

Hey ladies, todays OPKs are negative, would you still DTD? I think I missed the Ov, I guess it happened before earlier than it should, damn it :(( today's is the 15th day of the cycle x

A news study suggests that daily sex helps ensure that sperm isn’t attacked as an invader – and that the fertilised egg implants into the uterus

I found another study about this so I'm going for every day this month. So far managed it, but definitely won't be on it every month 😂

Interesting article here about dayly sex for conception
