@zippityzip 🤣 makes two of us then! I remember using them when trying for DD and starting straight away and I got a positive CD18 so quite late in my cycle but got pregnant that first month of trying. Fingers crossed for the same šŸ¤žšŸ» but trying not to get my hopes up as you just never know. Baby dust to you also

myheadisajunglejungle · 23/06/2020 07:58

Hi all, can I join? 1st cycle TTC no.3, AF due 13 July.

zippityzip · 23/06/2020 07:51

@Crash1d And thank you! I have two DCs with DH but they were a result of antibiotics on the pill, and a failed coil. We've never actually tried. This is all new to me!!

zippityzip · 23/06/2020 07:49

@SCIAGx I have no idea šŸ˜‚ I'm currently CD3, so will probably start testing with OPKs as soon as my period finishes (hopefully around 1st July) and just keeping going until I start getting some lines, hopefully.
This is my first period in 5 years and it's bloody awful.
Baby dust to you!

SCIAGx · 23/06/2020 07:47

@PirateWeasel love "baby dancing"
Sorry about the UTI. I hope it passes quickly!

Hello to all those on the thread. I can see a lot of 1st babies too, I'm trying for my first baby.
We've been together 7 years. Married nearly 2. I just turned 30 and DH is 38 this year. I have endometriosis and have a history of ovarian cysts. Hoping we can conceive naturally. But very open to IVF.

Baby dust to everyone. Xx

First official AF since coming off contraception started yesterday so soon I'll be tracking properly.
Seems as though the last two lots of bleeding I had were withdrawal bleeds. So fingers crossed!

How if everyone else feeling?

PirateWeasel · 22/06/2020 07:24

Hi everyone! I'm due AF on 4th July, cycle 3. Just coming out of 'fertile week' now and managed to get a UTI with all the babydancing, so hoping it was worth it! šŸ˜‚

ReginaaPhalange · 22/06/2020 00:02

Hi lovelies! I'll be testing around 21st July. AF showed up tonight.

Kalecat · 21/06/2020 23:03

Charlotte2020 · 16/06/2020 11:42

Hi all, currently TTC baby #1, also 33. I had my coil out in Early May so my first proper month of trying!šŸ¤žšŸ¼šŸ¤žšŸ¼if AF doesn't arrive I'll be testing around 5th July x

SkyBlue20 · 15/06/2020 22:58

Hi all, can I join?

I’m 33, trying for baby #1. Got pregnant at first time of trying in Jan, sadly had a MMC at the end of March and then it took until May to get an MVA due to Coronavirus delays. Last week I had my first period after my MVA and have just started TTC again. I don’t track temps or anything so am just going for the every other day method! I know ovulation can be all over the place after a miscarriage so am not holding out hope for this month and also have no idea for sure when AF would be due but I imagine around 12th July so probably wouldn’t think about testing until a few days after that. Seems ages away!

Anyway, hope we can all go through this crazy journey together and this will be a lucky thread with lots of BFPs!

ohbaby3 · 15/06/2020 17:22

Hello I'd like to jump on please... will be testing at some point beginning of July if AF doesnt show! I am only on my first proper month ttc baby 3, I had my copper coil removed in may! Tried in may when i thought i was fertile, my period ended up being 5 days late!! But I wasnt pregnant much to my surprise as I could of sworn by my symptoms that I was Confused
Anyway June is a new month, is anyone else trying for baby 3? It will be my partners first baby! X

zippityzip · 15/06/2020 13:01

Says that Femometer is £49 a year! Is that right?

zippityzip · 15/06/2020 13:00

I've downloaded Ovia and it tells me roughly when my fertile window is, which is like a week long!?
I've only had a withdrawal bleed since coming off contraception so I know I'm getting ahead of myself. Just so keen to get started!
My FW is apparently next week so I may just start testing then.
I'll have a look at the femometer app thank you ā˜ŗļø

Crash1d · 15/06/2020 12:58

Hey all!

Welcome to the thread.

It's so exciting to see people hoping on the bus.

I can see we're all testing first few weeks of July. So not a long time to wait to hopefully see some BPF.

Good luck and baby dust to everyone

@zippityzip

I have the femometer app and I also have the OPK and HGC strips that match the app.
I also got the Bluetooth thermometer but I always forget lol.

I would start using an app if you can. And pop in your last period dates. That should offer you a window as to when you're likely to ovulate.

Then once the app predicts possible conception take 2 tests a day. Not your first wee though. And if you drink loads it will dilute your wee and give a fainter like.

I do this and I get through about 5-10 strips a month.

With the femometer app you can scan their strips and they will give you a reading.
The box of strips which had 50 ovulations strips and I think 20/30 pregnancy tests for around £15. The app is free.

Of course if you have a kit and another app you can try the above with your own stuff. I've just found the femometer really easy.

Good luck! Keep us posted with your progress

zippityzip · 15/06/2020 10:07

Can anyone help me with my OPKs?

I don't really know what I'm doing but I guessed if I pee on an OPK every day I would at least get an idea of if/when I'm ovulating instead of just relying on apps.

But they all look like this? Once I had a very faint second line so it was obviously negative but the subsequent ones I'm taking don't even have a hint of a second line.

Is this normal? Are they a dud batch? Am I just not even remotely ovulating and that's why I'm only getting a control line?

Hello!
Hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread 😊

I came off the pill after being on it for 7 years at the start of January. Luckily I had a withdrawal bleed at the end of Jan, and have had regular 31 day cycles ever since.
My husband and I turned 33 last month and we've decided that we're more than ready to start TTC. I'm so excited!
Sooo, I've been taking folic acid daily since the end of May and we're spending the rest of June TTC.
AF should be due on 9th July, so we'll be testing around then!

Fingers crossed to you all! X
