Our first month ttc our first

Oh @beckyBP I'm so sorry to hear that you may be made redundant that's stressful! I hope the TWW goes quickly for you sounds like you dtd plenty. I think I'll ovulate somewhere between sunday and wednesday.. so we are currently DTD every other day to try and make sure we don't miss it hope we manage to keep it up!

@rosiej95 bin those new vitamins! Glad you can now move into the next cycle!

@Amy259 sounds like you covered it!

Thanks @Amy259 it just how it goes isn't it! Everything happens all at once.

That's amazing! Seems like you've definitely done enough to cover it so 🤞🏽 for you. Xx

@beckyBP wow what a crazy time for you guys. Congratulations on the house! And I’ll keep everything crossed for your job, what a stress.

Feeling better today thanks! I did a random opk at 7pm last night and it was verrry positive so I think I’m ovulating today. DH randomly came to bed very loving last night by luck so we dtd, which I’m delighted about! We probably won’t dtd today but have the last two and I’ll aim for tomorrow but hopefully I’m already covered.

@rosiej95 woooohoo!! Onto the next cycle! 🤞🏻

@maudesid yes in the TWW! We didn't manage to DTD everyday, every other though so 🤞🏽 we've had an offer accepted on a new house but found out Monday I'm potentially being made redundant so it's like 🤯

Glad being back at work is a good distraction for you. Good luck for ovulation this month!

@Amy259 so sorry you've had a weird week since you've been back that's super frustrating for you! How are you feeling today?

@rosiej95 finally! Aw I bet you're relieved. You can just start fresh now xx

@maudesid I think I’m due to ovulate maybe Friday or Saturday, I reckon I’ll get my peak tomorrow. This week has been a bit weird though, we had a lovely time away and it feels like we’ve come back home to the stress of ttc. So I don’t hold out much home of dtd much over the next couple of days - we did yesterday and dh just wasn’t into it. The pressure of it really gets to him and even when I don’t mention ovulating etc he knows it must be about that time so is always suspicious when I initiate - even if I just want to dtd! Was a bit down about it all yesterday, but we’ll see!
Fingers crossed for everyone this month! 🤞🏻

@beckyBP @RLou3 sounds like you're both in the tww? fingers tightly crossed for you! Pleased you've managed to switch off from ttc stress a bit @becky sorry you're so busy with other things though, I'm glad to be back at work this week to distract me a bit!
I think I'm ovulating roughly next mon/tues so dtd last night and hoping to every other day until then..! How you doing @Amy259? Sounds like our tww will fall about the same time!

@Amy259 do you know what, yes it really is! I've just been super overwhelmed with everything in life (houses, work, lockdown etc) but it has been a distraction from TTC emotions. I know what you mean though.. sometimes it's the last thing you want!

My technique is to make him wait a bit after AF to hopefully get more in the fertile window 😂

Ah are you feeling really chilled and content after your lovely few weeks? 🥰

@RLou3 fingers crossed for your tww! I got my flashing smiley today and normally it goes solid 2/3 days later so I’m guessing I should hit peak around wed/thurs and ovulate around Friday-ish... who knows 😂

@beckyBP was it quite nice to feel distracted from opk life? Very impressive that you managed to dtd every other day even though you’ve been so busy!! When DH or our life in general is busy I’ve got no chance for every other day 😂 we’re about every 3/4 days but have been a bit more with all our lovely recent events.

Hey loves!

@rosiej95 I can't believe you're still waiting. How annoying.

@RLou3 hey doll. I think I'm ovulating today. I haven't done opks this month. I've had A LOT going on and just not had the head space for testing etc but we're DTD at least every other day so hopefully we've covered ovulation.

Oo so you're in the TWW 🤞🏽 for you doll. Positive thoughts xxxxx

Hi ladies. Hope you’re all well. So annoying about delayed AF @rosiej95 have you tested again recently? Xx

@maudesid totally feel you! Really is a horrible process ! I don’t understand how anyone can enjoy this constant waiting, hoping, wishing and not knowing. Totally out of our control. When are you expecting ovulation? Have you DTD much 😩

@Amy259 feeling better now that ovulation is over so I know there’s nothing more I can do... by this time last cycle (2dpo) I was literally googling everything, obsessed. I feel calmer but I guess it’s early days of the evil 2ww!! Where are you with your cycle? Xx

@beckyBP how are you getting on? Have you ovulated? Did you manage to DTD much? Xx

I’m thinking I must’ve ovulated this weekend (Saturday likely) I got my smiley face on CB digital ovulation test on Thursday. DTD that morning and then again on Friday evening.... waiting game now... again xxxx

@rosiej95 I feel for you, I don't think the Dr's could do much but I've had two 45 day cycles since February and it is so frustrating!

I'm finding the whole thing so stressful I've cried twice this week and not even at ovulation yet! Just convincing myself it won't happen

@rosiej95 I’m sure someone has told me before that the docs make you wait until you’ve “missed” 3 periods I think? Not 100% on that though! Have you stopped the vitamins? That’s so annoying for you - I’d be climbing the walls. I’m so impatient and feeling like ttc is literally just about waiting for everything all the time 😂

@maudesid all treatments were on but still no sauna/jacuzzi. So we had a swim and some massages, it was lovely! Got home last night. I keep seeing so many cycles being messed up when something new it added so I’m too scared to change anything!

How is everyone doing?
@RLou3 are you feeling better/less stressed? @rosiej95 any sign of anything yet? 🤞🏻

@Amy259 that sounds glorious! I would love a spa weekend, are treatments and things going ahead with covid?

@rosiej95 I'm back to work next week after 2 weeks off and although it has been great for my mental health in terms of switching off from the business I'm kind of looking forward to going back in order to keep my mind off ttc a bit!
I actually bought some new fancy conception supplements but then reading about some of the ingredients altering your cycle I've decided to stick with my standard folic acid, omega 3 and Vit D for now as I think the stress of my cycle being more irregular than it already is would push me over the edge!

@rosiej95 yeah it sounds like it maybe could be then, if this is your first month? You could maybe stop taking them for a couple of days and see if af appears?

I’m not sure what’s going on here, I don’t even have a flashing smiley on my CB yet so my ovulation potentially could be very delayed this month.

@maudesid & @beckyBP thank you! My in-laws have a wee place here so we come quite a lot but we’ve just checked into the spa here for the weekend which is lovely!

@rosiej95 how frustrating for you! What prenatals are you taking? I think they can often really delay things, so it’s maybe that?

@rosiej95 God how frustrating! I'm still excited for you just incase, you never know! Though I don't know how you're functioning I'd be going stir crazy, what CD are you now?

@maudesid I’m hoping so! I haven’t really tracked how long my cycles normally are, I thought they were quite regular but last month was 26 days and the month before was 30 x

@BettyM90 maybe a longer cycle this month for some reason, I came off the pill in Feb and mine are a little erratic

@rosiej95 have you used a few different test brands just to see?
