TTC ..... those with TWW Starting around 11feb ?come keep me company !!!

Happy Easter!! Loving the sunshine x

@Adrianoska my AF arrived yesterday too so know how you are feeling. Really thought April could have been our month. Bit sad yesterday but after enjoying the sunshine yesterday and today I feel better and ready to take on a new cycle!

@Donnat89 and @Juno231 you are getting to the exciting part, good luck!

@Ivoryjane really hope you can stay relaxed, I went a bit mad at the end of my tww. In a way glad AF is here so I'm back to some sanity again. I personally wouldn't test unless my AF was late. Might save you some money on tests...!

Happy Easter girls 🐣

Yeah. @Juno231 my AF arrived yesterday. Bastard.

I got myself a ticket on the May Bus on here and hoping for the best. This will be our 5th cycle and I swear I am scared.

I am going to try and do the bbt. And I bought more of that expensive Proceive Max.

I am so desperate... Really desperate.

How are you all?

🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🌸😘

Morning ladies, hope you are all well and have a nice Easter Sunday. (albeit a very different one). This whole stay at home isolation is difficult. So I am just beginning my TWW. Feeling ok about it not getting too worked up over it and hoping that will continue. Haven't even thought about when I will test if I need to.
Good luck to all you lovely ladies on the TWW a bit further on than me!
Enjoy the weekend.

I'm 6DPO now and already itching to test (don't worry - I won't!).

@Adrianoska did your AF arrive?

@Donnat89 I'm looking forward to some sun tomorrow too! We're really lucky to have gardens. I like the sound if your relaxed approach- I'll be trying that next month. I've got a teeny bit of spotting do reckon AF will arrive full force tomorrow. Oh well, onwards and upwards! Definitely need to be more relaxed next tww!

Hope everyone is able to make the most of Easter! We'll be making a nice roast dinner for 2 on Sunday.

So sorry @Adrianoska. TTC can be really tough, especially at this stage of the cycle. If AF does get you then chin up- a new cycle and a new chance for success!

I'm still waiting for AF to show. Haven't got any cramps yet but trying not to get my hopes up. The waiting the past couple of days has been torture! I think next month I won't use my app at all, just dtd regularly and some extra when I see ewcm. I figure if I don't know exactly when AF is due I won't go so crazy next month!

Thanks girls ❤️
I feel cramps now.
And my husband and I had a disagreement, I am upset a little.
😔

Sometimes my heart breaks 💔

@Juno231 thank you for that. I might try that next month if i don't get my BFP this month! Sahara desert! Haha! @Skyla01 thanks for the other option name too & I hope AF doesn't show up tomo and you get a BFP.

@Adrianoska so sorry about your BFN but it is still early and haven't you mentioned before that with your other pregnancies you got BFP much later than 12DPO so don't give up yet! Wishing the best for you!

It's an anxious wait @Donnat89 being at home not really making things any easier either. Good luck with it all xx

@Adrianoska I am due AF tomorrow too. I just want time to speed up and know whether she's going to come or not! I'm still feeling optimistic after 13 months of this . I think 12dpo can still be early for a test so you're not out yet. It doesn't help that I have nothing to distract me!

@Adrianoska I'm sorry to hear but I'm still hopeful it's not over for you yet this cycle! I'd recommend femometer cause I'm like born again Christian with that damn app! Def does Celsius though and is brilliant for OPKs too.

@Skyla01... Good morning 💕 I am 12 dpo and just had a BFN. 😣😥 AF due tomorrow. Feeling crushed again 😔 How do you do? Xxx

@Ivoryjane, I have been using Conceive Plus for 2 months. Not that I am dry... My husband has to cross an ocean now. But it clearly didn't help yet. 😒

I am going to start recording my BBT. Any good apps? I am using Ovia but it doesn't let me put my BBT in celsius!

@Juno231 that bit about the Sahara desert made me laugh!

We've been using conceive plus for ages. It's the same as preseed basically. I don't insert it though, we use as a normal lube. It obviously hasn't helped us conceive, but it works fine as a fertility friendly lube.

How is everyone else? @Adrianoska you must be due AF soon? Hope she stays away!

@Ivoryjane of course! It's kinda a fertility friendly lubricant (you shouldn't be using regular stuff when TTC) that mimics CM. CM is meant to help the sperm along on its journey so I started to get paranoid about the little men not being able to get to their destination through what clearly must be the Sahara desert 😉. Truth be told I'm just happy to try anything and you see lots of ladies swearing by it so why not 🤷‍♀️

No worries thanks @Juno23 I'll try pay closer attention to it this time round and see if I can notice anything. Can I ask what pre seed is? I prob could just google it but I'm trying not to let myself go down that rabbit hole this month!
@Skyla01 thanks that's good to know. I'm just not sure at the minute if I can trust my app so I'll try see if I can spot the EWCM for O time! We're happy just DDT every other day for now anyway and see where we go. I sound all very relaxed but I'm really not!! ha ha!!

@Ivoryjane that sounds like a good plan! I know what you mean about WFH, although we found it useful during FW- more time & energy!

Just another note about ewcm- I usually get some about cd14, then again at cd18 which is when I usually ovulate. But if you have a wide fertile window and dtd a lot it'll be ok anyway.

@Ivoryjane sorry I completely missed your question! I only rarely spot any CM, even my using my fingers so I've stopped trying to track it tbh. I did prompt me to try using pre-seed this cycle though, let's see if it works!

Thanks so much @Skyla01 for answering that for me. I know its a bit TMI but good to know. I have noticed it before as EWCM but wasn't tracking it for O at the time. I'm gonna do as we are for now this month (DTD every other day, using the app and now try see EWCM) and if no BFP I'm gonna look more into either temping or OPKs from there on. Such a cycle and I know the TWW is gonna be torture as WFH (same as most people now)! I'm trying to stay positive now too and not get too bogged down with it all (easier said than done)!

@Ivoryjane it depends on how much cm you produce. If you have lots you might see it on loo roll. But the best way to look for it is to get your finger up there...! Sorry, TMI, but there isn't a better way to explain. I've heard some women can have ewcm that always stays up around the cervix without coming out. Have you noticed ewcm before? That is meant to be the best fertile mucous you should see around ovulation. It really does look like egg white and it stretchy. You can Google to get some pictures (if you want...!).

3DPO here and starting to look at the calendar for when 9 DPO would be just in case I get any implantation symptoms lol. Purely doing it to break up the TWW.

Been taking omega 3 but can't locate my pregnacare vits, I may have packed them away for when we got the flat ready for sale last month. Should probably get back on them - only gave them a break cause I was worried they lengthened my cycle (and I was 4 days late that month so they probably did!). Once/if I get a BFP I think I'll give iodine a go too. Supposed to be good for brain development and I've always been paranoid about not getting enough here since I left my home country where all table salt is enriched with it.

@Donnat89 this will be my first ever 2WW - any tips?!

@Skyla01thank you - I'm never adverse to a few more baby dances anyway haha.
