About to go into my fertile week and will be testing 29th jan 🙂 this is my 4th cycle trying for my 1st.

Anyone want some company while we enter into another TWW? 🙂

@AsSurprisedAsYouAre yeah we are the same, trying not to think about it too much, but that's easier said than done 😂 good luck, definitely keep me updated on how you're getting on. I decided to do dry January which I think may have been an error on my part!!

danielasummer · 11/01/2020 10:03

Hi all, happy weekend! Just wondering if there are any tips for us all that are helping you get through the TWW? I personally do not think I'm pregnant as I don't feel strange like I did last time, but it would be good to find out how others are filling their time during this annoying part of the cycle! :)

A tip from me is to really fill your diary with tasks and I time-block them, e.g. 7.30am take dog out for a walk, 9am breakfast, 9.30am read chapter of book etc x

@charlottees89 Hi! It makes me feel less lonely to know there's someone else on the exact same carriage of this ttc rollercoaster! Would love to keep in touch this month. For now my OH and I are pretty chill and optimistic waiting for the green light of the OPK but from past experience my crazy kicks in from 1DPO so enjoying the calm (and this glass of wine) before the tww storm!

ZoeCa · 10/01/2020 19:38

All the best! So exciting!
Wishing everyone baby dust this month 💗

Catred4 · 10/01/2020 19:17

Hi! I’m TTC for the first time, fertile period is this week, will be testing 26th onwards eeeeek! How exciting x

charlottees89 · 10/01/2020 18:59

Ovulate** 🤦🏻‍♀️

charlottees89 · 10/01/2020 18:58

@AsSurprisedAsYouAre I'm due to ovulation too on 16th but AF due on 30th. Fingers crossed for a little October baba Smile xxx

Why1stheskyblu3 · 10/01/2020 08:17

Hopefully testing on the 27th here (and not before if I can exhibit some self control!)
I feel like Verruca in Charlie and the chocolate factory...don't care how, I want it now! 😂
Might be losing the plot! 😄

AsSurprisedAsYouAre · 10/01/2020 01:22

A perfect thread for me - yes please. Ovulation expected 16th, AF expected 29th - absolutely here for friends and supporters

Eveting2019 · 10/01/2020 00:26

Hi all.
I’m trying to conceive 2nd baby. Been 6 months now. I have another week to wait.

I find the waiting torturous...

itssoooofluffy · 10/01/2020 00:10

TTC #1, cycle 6, AF due 26th.
Ovulated today but DH working away since Tuesday, so chances are slim! One day he will be home at the right time 🤞
Good luck everyone!

AliSxo · 09/01/2020 22:15

Hey can I join? Cycle 4, I'll be ovulating early next week and testing around 26th.... I drove myself wild with indents last month so I'm trying to keep some calmness this month about this TTC malarkey!! It's all I can think about recently I've become obsessed with wanting to know how long it's taken my friends and people I know to get pregnant but obviously not asking.. hope it's all our month and we all get our BFP xx

ablisha · 09/01/2020 22:14

Hi guys
I will be testing at this time too but we have been very relaxed with trying this month as we weren't meant to start until Feb!
Both me and DH are 30. Currently using the flow app to track ovulation but have ordered some OPK too!

MrsD1990 · 09/01/2020 21:58

Hi everyone hope it's okay I join - just entering my fertile window tomorrow so I'll be testing on those dates. We've been DTD today and Tuesday just to keep our bases covered and will aim to do it every other day during the window. Baby dust to all - hope we get some positives at the end of the month!!

FireflyGirl · 09/01/2020 21:39

Not heard of that, Sparkle. What's it supposed to do? I'm just taking folic acid and normal vitamins.

Sparkle2020 · 09/01/2020 14:01

Anyone on her tried maca powder? I’ve just started taking it, fertile window starts today though so probably too late to work but we’ll see

bluemoon2468 · 09/01/2020 12:25

Hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ can I join? AF is due 29th Jan so will probably start testing around 26th-27th because I am the least patient person in the world 🙈 On cycle 2 ttc #1. This month we're giving DTD every other day throughout the whole cycle a go.

ZoeCa · 09/01/2020 11:51

I'll be testing too, same time. First cycle of clomid. TTC 2 years, first pregnancy. Fingers crossed for everyone. I'm new to posting but have been reading for a while now.

zinrepus · 09/01/2020 09:53

I'm on a similar timeline as well, second cycle TTC #1. Last month everything went pear-shaped as I was flying a lot around the holidays, which meant I had a lovely 36 day cycle, but usually after one of those nutsy ones, my next is pretty "normal".

I'm due to ovulate tomorrow according to trackers...DTD three times thus far, hoping to squeeze one more in before waiting...then AF due on the 24, so hopefully I can make it most of that way without driving myself crazy symptom spotting. Taking some hand-me-down close to expiry pregnancy vitamins and some additional calcium just to help boost my reserves...

danielasummer · 09/01/2020 07:30

Hi, I'll join if that's ok. Hoping to test on the 19th/20th at 13DPO. Second month ttc after a miscarriage so can't bear to see a negative, which is why I'm leaving it so long ☺️ sending luck and baby dust to you all x

HalfPenny28 · 07/01/2020 18:04

@Sparkle2020 this is our 4th cycle now, due to ov Friday so going to start dtd tomorrow.

I take folic acid and use pre seed but that's about it. Changed my eating this month though to include a lot more fruit and veg and a lot less dairy to see if that helps?

I was taking vitamin d up until About a week ago.

Sparkle2020 · 07/01/2020 14:49

How long has everyone been trying? I’m on cycle 16. Taking folic acid, evening primrose oil before ov and my myo-inositol (few people recommended it in my last thread so let’s see?). Anyone tried that or evening primrose oil before?

FireflyGirl · 07/01/2020 08:21

Good luck Nala, fingers crossed for all of us!

Nalapuppy · 07/01/2020 07:36

Morning everyone, I'm going into my fertile week today :) we're ttc our first after an early miscarriage in June, I'll be testing around the 27th, keeping my fingers crossed for lots of bfps!xx

urbansloth · 07/01/2020 07:29

I will also be testing in those dates! If not before because I'm too keen. I'm about to enter my fertile week too but this is my first time using OPKs so may change!
