Hey girls... thought I'd make a new post I'm struggling to find new ones 😂 I'm 28 nearly 29 and my other half is also the same age! I'm currently on my period and this is the month we have decided to start trying! I'm so excited but also do not want to get my Hope's up as I know it can be a very long journey to get that BFP! Anyone else trying this month? I'm looking to get ovulation sticks to increase my chances xxx

@ParisInTheSpringtime when did you start trying? Were you on borth control?

ParisInTheSpringtime · 01/03/2020 20:56

Thanks @krissymb bit of a shock lol

KrissyMB · 01/03/2020 20:16

@1987Nic So exciting! Were you on birth control previously?

1987Nic · 29/02/2020 22:30

My boyfriend and I are also 32 and trying for our first child Smile

KrissyMB · 29/02/2020 22:20

@1987Nic yes first child. I'm 32 and husband 33. Hopefully I'll figure out a cycle, but trying to take a relaxed approach initially and just enjoy the practice:)

1987Nic · 29/02/2020 13:26

Sorry that should have said find cycle lengths soon too. *Cycle and not clue Blush

1987Nic · 29/02/2020 13:24

Hi, hopefully you’ll be able to find our cycle lengths too. My clue has been 28 days and then 32 days, after 10 years of no periods I’ve been quite happy with that so far. It’s better to have a relaxed approach.. for as long as we can ha. Are you trying for your first child?

KrissyMB · 29/02/2020 12:45

Hi @1987Nic. First first proper month TTC too. Had coil out on 12th Feb so unsure of cycle yet! Just trying to enjoy myself this month with the occasional OPK test and see what's what. X

1987Nic · 29/02/2020 12:08

Hi everyone, this is my first month of trying properly and tracking ovulation too. My last period was on the 17th Feb so hopefully be some signs of ovulation very soon. Interested to know what CD people have been showing signs of ovulation?

KrissyMB · 29/02/2020 12:01

Oh no @abby25. Best go to the docs and shes what's what! Xx

Hey girls so I've had a really bad period!!! Been having clots over the size of 50ps maybe bigger... dont know what's going on! Had about 5 yesterday even some just falling out into the toilet 😫 I know tmi but might go to the doctors I showed my bestie and she said looks like a miscarriage but I never got a positive test?! Xxx

@ParisInTheSpringtime wow congrats!!!! That's fab news!!! Xx

Sitchervice · 29/02/2020 05:25

AF has finally turned up! 38 day cycle! Now it can go away so I can start trying again please XD

KrissyMB · 28/02/2020 17:32

@ParisInTheSpringtime same for me. I had my coil removed so not had one yet! Although think I'm currently ovulating as some pains

ParisInTheSpringtime · 28/02/2020 12:42

So turns out there might be a reason for my period being MIA. Maybe I won’t start trying next month. Confused

I didn’t think it was the right time, turned out it was.

First month of ttc
pineapple2 · 28/02/2020 11:23

As predicted af came this morning...urghhhh
Next cycle no opks, no tracking. Dtd every other day and continue to take my vitamins and that's it...
I'm just going to go with the flow, easier said than done..

ParisInTheSpringtime · 28/02/2020 07:22

I’m still waiting for my period so I can start my first month TTC. I started taking pregnacare pre-conception last week and read that might lengthen my cycle - has anyone experienced that? Just want to get going now lol.

pineapple2 · 27/02/2020 22:03

@abby25 think I'm definitely out this month..cramping, obsessed with chocolate and a little bit moody lol I bet she will be here tomorrow morning...

Littlepeas2 · 27/02/2020 20:23

@abby25 we will only be a few days apart in our cycle so we can get through it together! Just got to get the next few days over with 🙄

pineapple2 · 27/02/2020 19:43

Still no af for me..bfn on all tests..know she's coming though because I can feel it. Probably ovulated later than what I thought so maybe the opk was wrong. God knows
