TTC journey starting June...

How is everyone? I know these symptoms are way too early for pregnancy but I think it's hormone related, progesterone the monkey 🤣 does anyone else feel sick & shattered between ovulation and periods? I did last month too and it's awful
Feel really rubbish! ☹️ x

@PabsyPops I haven't been using opks long but wasn't getting anywhere with the cheaper ones either

@Newbie9 yes i was too as it's my first one. I used the cheap tests the last few months and never even saw a positive so I was starting to think something was up!!

@PabsyPops yes Hun it tells you not to as apparently it stays on the screen for 2 days and if you test in that time it brings up an error. This is clear blue advanced, is that what you have? Congrats on static smiley, I was buzzing!

@Newbie9 when you got your static smiley did you stop testing? I got mine yesterday so now not sure if I should carry on or not 🤷🏼‍♀️

@kate123cl I've used them this past week for the first time but not now ovulation has passed
I found the clear blue one was quite good & easy to use x

Morning all.

@kate123cl my period length changed too. Used to be around 7 days. Now, it barely seems to reach 5 days. Guessing things naturally changed during all those years I was on the pill. But like you, I'm not complaining!

@Thunderpants5138 Welcome and snap! I've just started trying for #1 too. No idea how long to expect it to take but as our wedding was postponed (usual story these days) by a good long time, we figured we'd at least see what happens. Wishing you best of luck on the start of this journey.

CD3...time definitely goes slower during lockdown!

Hi guys!
Hope you don't mind me jumping on here. I'm currently 25 and just starting TTC #1.
I was on nexplanon since being 16 but suddenly started having a period every other week. Prior to that it was usually 1 period every 3/4 months which only lasted 2/3 days. Went to doctors and had tests which we found out I had PCOS. So I switched to the Levest pill back in July last year. We have now made the decision to TTC as we are fully expecting it to take a long time.
I stopped the pill 29th April and had withdrawal bleed 2nd-6th May and just started first natural AF on 1st June. Shocked is an understatement for this as I've never been regular due to the PCOS (however I think the myo inositol I've been taking May have a part to play in that)
Wishing you all luck!!

@kate123cl morning, how long was your cycle? Mine have fluctuated in length too I do think pregnancy affects things!!
I'm on cycle day 15 now, seems I ovulated day 13/14 which is in line with a much shorter cycle than last month. Last month I ovulated day 28!

@Running365 good idea, hopefully it'll come naturally x

@Newbie9 not planning to just yet as trying to be chilled about it this time round...for the first month atleast as got too obsessed in just 2 months last time. Going to go off the fact that my cycles are regular, CM inspection (cringe) and regular DTD for the next few weeks but I'll probably be saying something else in a months time after buying all the vitamins for both of us whilst lying on the bed with my legs in the air as that's what worked last time! Haha!

@Running365 sorry I meant are you tracking temps now? It is fascinating isn't it!

@Clover1211 good luck next cycle  it is exciting when you get that face!

@Running365 I did yes, but I fell pregnant as soon as I started charting so it didn't really give me an insight into my cycles. This month has got to be shorter as my ovulation is so much earlier
Are you bbt?

@Clover1211 great that your cycle has started when expected, hope your enjoying indulging in some treats!

@Newbie9 did you chart for your first pregnancy? I did for 2 months whilst TTC and found it so amazing to discover how much info our bodies really do give us. I'm sure you'll see a higher temp in the morning!

@Newbie9 it's so exciting seeing that smiley face isn't it! It's amazing how quickly it can change.

AF arrived bang on time today for me so CD1 is here. And so it begins ... only got around a 20 day wait now until I should see a smiley face haha lack of patience and a long cycle don't go well together!!

For now though, i'm off to find some carbs to eat

@Running365 CD13 today, last month I didn't ovulate til day 28 and bled a week later so hoping it's a bit of a longer luteal phase this time 🤞🤞
Yes tracking my temp too, it was still low this morning so will see if it goes up higher tomorrow which it will if I ovulate today but maybe I'll ovulate tomorrow if I have a LH surge today
Not quite sure

@Newbie9 exciting smiley!! What day of your cycle are you on? Did you say you've been tracking temp too? Hopefully all a good sign!

@kate123cl haha 😂

Peak not leak

Sorry I'm putting such a lot on this thread, did a clear blue first thing it was negative but now I've got a leak fertility result!
