TTC baby no1. Looking for fellow crazy TTC friends!

Like I would’ve used urine from being 7dpo?! If it’s positive isn’t it a bad sign? Like very common to be a chemical?

Girls call me crazy but I’ve done a cheapie (couldn’t help myself as my boobs are so sore) there’s a line? Like there is a line?? Came up in the time frame??? I’m baffled I’m only 8dpo as of midnight??

@Stabal I didn't know those were a thing! Still a tiny bit of hope for this cycle! Hoping for our BFPs!!!

@stepmumSW5 unfortunately early pregnancy cramps are also a thing! The likeness of symptoms is really annoying.

Feeling sorry for myself tonight and in an attempt to track how I felt whilst I was pregnant and didn't know, I went onto my twitter where I let my feelings out into the void where nowhere knows me 😂 if anyone is interested.. I was achey 6 DPO and by 9 DPO felt nauseous.. From 16DPO I was being sick and exhausted and needing naps by 20 DPO.. I honestly don't know how I never noticed all these signs and pieced them together. I remember googling "dry nipples" too at a stage and still never twigged to do a test. I was so convinced it was never happening. That sickness lasted right up until I had medical management at 9 weeks. I wonder if it would have stopped in the 2nd trimester!

I'm decastated already. Started feeling cramps and AF is due in 2 days. F**k!!

@Leobaby yeah the app works it out for you! Really handy

Ohhh okay @LT103 would probably help if I temped everyday. I just get discouraged when af comes and cba sometimes lol.

@Leobaby the app did it but I had the free tria of paid version and it’s not doing it this month. But there is a way to work it out

Thanks @LT103 @Stabal I should really be more consistent with it. How did you get that cover line? Do you need to temp all the time? So confusing. I’ll keep going anyway I’m still not sure what it all means lol.

@Leobaby looks good but hard to tell if the temps are actually risen without other recordings to go against the baseline. Here's mine from last month and this month..

@leobaby that’s mine last month. I’m only just aT ovulation this month so not much to see

@Leobaby looks about normal. Hard to work out cover line if haven’t taken any temps prior to ovulation but it has definitely gone up. I have occasional dips like you had on mine so it looks like you did ovulate to me

*i wasn’t temping before ov

What do you girls think about this? I actually ov’d where I put a 3 flower sticker lol. I was temping before that my ov because I couldn’t be bothered lmao.

@beckyBP welcome!!! We did the same and were very casual about it first 2 cycles then started looking into it a bit more. I like the ovulation sticks as it gives you an idea of when you ovulate (approx 1 day after your peak LH). I also check basal body temp first thing in morning as if you ovulate successfully, it should start to increase. I feel more like I understand my cycle now without it being too ott. Means I have a good idea of when to make sure we dtd. So far my peak opk has fallen on same cycle day.

@beckyBP OMG!! I'm in the exact same situation as you!! AF due in 3 days, wedding canceled by covid, decided to TTC instead!

Def read 'Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant' - it helped me shoo away my fears (I'm 32, childless stepmum) but some stuff can be overwhelming. I still recommend it though.

Starting to take folic Acid and cutting the caffeine, smoking and alcohol probably the first practical steps to take.

Do you keep track of your cycle? What contraception method were you using?

@butterfly5291 hey Hun. I've told a few people we're trying. I think if helps to be able to talk to people. I'd go crazy in my own head otherwise

Woah.. didn't mean to post 3 times 🙈 sorry!!

Hey 🙋🏼‍♀️

Hope you don't mind me joining. TTC baby number 1 after COVID cancelled our wedding. Decided we didn't want to wait anymore.

Currently cycle 1 in the TTW with AF due in 3 days and tbh.. I think I can feel it coming 😫

Didn't do anything in terms of ovulation tests or anything other than unprotected sex this cycle so definitely want to step up and be prepared for the next.

Any advice welcome!

@butterfly5291 I haven’t told anyone as I didn’t want them asking and knowing if it took ages but I really miss being able to speak to anyone about it. I have lots of friends who already have children and I guess it would be nice to have people to talk to about it.

@Pippy20 we've been friends for over 20 years...so really close. She's on mat leave at the moment and we were talking about mat pay...so not out of the blue but not come up before. I would think she'd assume we'd wait till after our wedding in Dec.
It wouldn't put any more pressure on me to have her know we are trying.... I can do that to myself regardless lol

@Pippy20 I didn’t find mine that accurate. Mine dropped a week before af then started coming up during af? I’m tracking bbt which seems more accurate for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

@butterfly5291 that’s a hard one! Personally I didn’t tell anyone as for me I felt like it would just add to the pressure if people knew as they’d always be wondering and asking. That being said it’s nice to talk to people, especially if she’s a close friend! Is it just an out of the blue question or does it come up often?
