Our first month ttc our first

@rosiej95 sorry to hear that 😞 Hope you’re not too disheartened. Just got to stay positive and know it will happen when the time’s right. It’s so hard though, hope you’re okay.

@rosiej95 I’ve got my fingers crossed for you! I guess you’re testing tomorrow so let us know what happens!

Hello everyone 👋

We’re trying for our first and we’re going into our second cycle of ttc. Like others have said, the BFN after our first cycle was disappointing and I naively thought it would be easy to conceive if we did everything you’re “supposed” to do.

Onwards and upwards though! A Christmas BFP would be so wonderful but trying not to get my hopes up! 😬

@rosiej95
I'm excited and impatiently waiting to get started!
Me and my OH have been waiting for this for a few years now and it's finally the right time.
I already feel like I've been googling non stop to educate and prepare myself 😂

I hope the 2ww goes fast for you!

Hi, hope you don't mind me joining this thread.

I took my last contraceptive pill on 27/10 and I'm now waiting for my first real AF to start my TTC journey.

How are you girls doing?

Aww that is brilliant thank you so much! That will be a life saver in future. Added to me favourites now thank you. Will use it from now if it happens again and hopefully it will start to look a bit more consistent on the chart xx

@meganlea yeah if I have a night of broken sleep my temperature is all over the place. I saw this link on a chat ages ago and saved it because sometimes I wake up at like 5am randomly and I don’t have time for another 3 hours unbroken before the alarm, but you’re supposed to do it at the same time every day. So if I end up taking it at 5am (because I haven’t moved yet and I’ve just woken up from 3+ hours unbroken) I use this and plug the altered temp into the app and it keeps it all making much more sense xx

@Amy259 yeah it was the temperatures that were concerning me, I haven’t drunk anything alcoholics since temping as I didn’t want it to affect me but I do have anxiety and some mornings I wake up a bit panicky for no reason it’s very rare but this week I’ve been like that for days and when I get panicky I get a really warm so maybe it’s that and a lot of broken sleep too, waking up through the night and taking me a while to get back off so I don’t think my temps are 100% accurate anyway.

@meganlea yeah your temps do seem to have risen, but unless you spiked really really quickly it doesn’t look like youve ovulated. And I’d be even more confused if you ov on day 24 last month and day 14 this month.. I’m not an expert by any means but I’d say that was pretty unlikely!! Yeah keep testing twice a day now, I bet you’re yet to ovulate 🤞🏻

Have you done anything different to affect taking your temp? Warmer room, later cause it’s the weekend, broken sleep, wine..?

@Amy259 aw I really hope that’s the case, up until I entered my temperature this morning it had my fertile week as next week. Fingers crossed I haven’t missed my window this cycle then and now DH feels ok again we’re ready to go 😁😁🥳. Might test twice a day from now on though 1pm and 5pm to make sure I don’t miss it! Thank you lovely xx

@meganlea I would say you definitely haven’t ovulated yet - the app is guessing because you’re just in the early stages of using it, so it’s putting you as ovulating 14 days before it predicts your next period. When you keep entering your LH strips and they eventually peak, the app will fix itself and move your fw and ovulation date to the correct time. Then next month (if there is one!) it’ll be better at getting the prediction right xx

@rosiej95 hope the next week or so isn’t too much torture for you!!

@beckyBP enjoy your weekend of dtd 😂😂

Thank you ladies!! Touch wood, all day yesterday he felt completely normal again and he’s woke up this morning feeling the same so let’s hope this is the end of it!!

@rosiej95 aww fingers crossed. You’ve deffo covered yourself for this cycle, gone on you! Time for your body to do it’s thing now 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@beckyBP Aww that’s the worst. Just take a breather and re focus your mind just think at least when you do fall on she’ll have been through it first and can tell you the gory details!!

@Amy259 ooo you’ll have to let us know if it’s any good so we can give it a go!
Also, quick question for ya and for anyone else that might know too, my cycles are 4-5 weeks long, and I used clear blue digi kit last cycle and got my static on CD 24 which was quite late in my cycle but it was a 35 day cycle, so this month I’ve been tracking temperature and LH strips instead of digital, I’m CD18 right now so in my mind it could be another week before I ovulate yet, but according to my premom app as of this morning, I ovulated 4 days ago? I’ll attach a picture or two if it’ll let me. What do you think? I suppose it isn’t impossible it could just mean that I’m having a 4 week cycle this time, and I only tested once a day on the 2 days I was supposed to ovulate, because I didn’t think I’d be fertile at all those days, so could I have missed the LH surge if it was in the late afternoon maybe and gone by the following afternoon? I don’t track CM but I’m racking my brain now and I don’t think I’ve noticed any changes. Should I keep temping and tracking LH at least for another 7-9 days to see if it comes later like last month or is it fully done now?

If it’s done now I’m gutted just as DH finally feels better and is ready to go and my app tells me this morning it was 4 days ago! typical!! 😂😂

Orange line is my LH levels and blue line is my temp

@rosiej95 exactly!!

Hope this TWW is nice and speedy for you. How are you feeling?

I think I ovulate either today or tomorrow. I'm not tracking this morning again. So far we've DTD every other which included last night and going to try and do a 3 in a row now!

Xx

@rosieb060 @rosiej95 @Amy259 thanks girls. I'd say it's the first time I've been proper gutted and couldn't say anything.

It's just so hard isn't it.

Hope we're all having a lovely Friday night xxx

@beckyBP I feel ya! I always feel like a horrible person when I see old school friends or acquaintances (on fb or insta etc) announce their pregnancy because I struggle to just be happy for people without feeling hard done by or jealous. I’m dreading the day my brother in law and his wife announce it because I know they were thinking about starting to try around now.

It’ll happen for us all soon, we just have to keep believing it! ♥️

@beckyBP I'm so sorry xx

It will happen. Xx

Hey girls.. nearly Friday!

So.. my friend just told me she's pregnant and I'm SO happy for her but also I'm so gutted! It's like a total wake up call isn't it.

They even said 'when are you having one' and I wanted to scream 'WE'RE TRYING!!!!!!!' But just brushed it off.

My heart hurts 😔❤️

@Amy259 sorry doll. Really frustrated for you! It's so hard to know isn't it!

Ooo let us know how it is. I haven't heard of it.

Yeah I'm good thanks doll. I've just booked a reflexology session for Wednesday as apparently it's really good for trying to conceive. We shall see. Think I ovulate around Saturday.

Bloody hell @rosiej95 you've smashed DTD!! Well done girl. Defo do it tomorrow too. Xx
