TTC October 2020 Bus

@Smileandtheworldsmileswithyou congratulations! That’s a really clear positive.
How long have you been trying if you don’t mind me asking?

@BuildingThings I just got my BFP yesterday, and usually have a couple of glasses of wine a night. (In fact I had two gin and tonics the night before BFP!) I figured that's usual for us (DP in wine industry) and if it was going to take a long time I wasn't going to spend half of every month not eating and drinking the things I enjoy! In fact it probably helped on a few occasions
Anyway obviously I have been extremely lucky, and we also live active balanced lifestyles, everyone is different so do what feels right for you. Good luck!!

Omg- can’t actually believe it but got a BFP today. Had a few little things I had noticed like a big spot on my chin and being really hungry but didn’t actually think it would be positive! My hands started shaking I feel totally shocked.

Hi! Just jumping on this bus. First month TTC again, just had my first little boy on July 30th 2020. People think I'm mad but definitely ready for another already!

Been pregnant twice, caught first time with both but first ended in mc at 11 weeks. 3rd time lucky for my first try this month.

First period since having LO was 28th Sep, O on 11th Oct, DTD 3 times around O. Now just a waiting game, only 5 DPO so know it's daft to test now.

What date do you think I should test, due AF on 26th Oct x

@BuildingThings I don't drink when TTC but that's mostly because I didn't as part of being super healthy in my fertility struggles with my first. I doubt one glass of wine pre ovulation would matter, possibly helpful in many ways!!

Hi waves soooo excited to get on the bus again FINALLY!!

TTC #3
DS1 3, DS2 13 months
Just got my period back 4 days ago - back in business!!! Haha

DS1 was very long awaited (3 years, anovulatory pcos) but had 1 period when he was 15 months and got pg with #2 so praying for a repeat!!

Huge congratulations to those who've tested positive so far and lots of love and luck to everyone else

@SunnydazeQ Thank you ☺ happy to – finally – be here!

Congratulations @bez91 and @adogisforlife91 Such lovely news to join this group on.

@Dsr87 so exciting! I’ve tested as well and I’m about to ovulate – so good luck to us!

Btw. what is everyone's policy when it comes to having a glass of wine in your cycle – I assume before ovulation should be fine and safe, or do you abstain completely whilst TTC?

BTW my boyfriend hasn't got kids and he's amazing with my boys and will make an awesome dad and I want to experience it with someone who loves me as much as i do him. Ex husband left me to do everything on my own x

This will be number 3 for me. I split from my ex husband 5 years ago due to his inferdelity and getting her pregnant. He was mentally abusive to me then the start of abusive when we split and I found out what was going on. Been with my partner in crime for 4 years. We discussed last month to try as my periods gave become more regular since coming off depo last October which I was on for 9 years. Started getting my periods back in May 2020. So now I've got a pattern we've tried this month. Ovulation spike yesterday and did 4 times leading up to this, so fingers crossed. Im hoping my body is getting back in order after depo. Im honestly the horniest ive ever been this week, but upon reading on ovulation symptoms I've had a light bulb moment as to why I'd shat my partner all this week lmao 🤣

@adogisforlife91 congratulations!!! Such great news so happy for you.

I had another really faint line this morning, but then a bit of bleeding so I think I'm out.

Away to the coast this weekend with OH so will take my mind off things a bit!

@SunnydazeQ That's really good, keep up the positivity! It helps when you get more into the swing of things TTC wise Wishing you lots of luck next week!

I am doing ok thank you, I'm 10dpo today, keep getting funny twinges. I did do a test this morning but nothing so far. My AF is due on Sunday, I'm keeping everything crossed that a BFP may appear in the next few days and telling myself to stop being impatient with testing.... We've got friends round for dinner at the weekend and could really do with a nice G&T after a long week with work but alas, I shall stick to my Schloer and pretend it's wine!

I am reading a really good book that my hairdresser recommended called Bump and Grind - The A-Z survival guide for when you're trying to get pregnant and sick of being told to relax by Genevieve Morton. Its so funny 🤣 puts things into perspective and has some lovely stories. The author went through a 10 year TTC journey before she had her baby and then got pregnant naturally so it does offer hope! The book doesn't appear to be in wide circulation anymore but I did get a second hand copy off Amazon. Would recommend to everyone in the group xx

Thank you all! @adogisforlife91 congratulations to you too! X

Congratulations @bez91 and @adogisforlife91 such wonderful news and hope for our group!! 🎉🎉🎉

@gracie2307 last day of AF today and feeling really positive about this cycle for some reason. Next week is my fertile week so looking forward to that. Our first 2 cycles, I feel like we didn't know what we were doing and now I think we're in a better position so fingers crossed for a BFP. What about you?

Congratulations @adogisforlife91 and @bez91! Lovely news xx

Hi ladies!

Hope you don’t mind me joining I’m just starting cycle #7 ttc bubba no 4. I know I’m extremely lucky to have my children so I’m trying to take a “be grateful for what you have” mentality but I’m still finding myself so disappointed when AF turns up every month! 🤦‍♀️ I conceived first time with my other children (including one miscarriage) so I think I just expected it to be straightforward again - that will teach me! I’m using OPKs and have a regular cycle so it’s fairly easy to time DTD but clearly lacking the baby dust...! Amazing to see the BFPs on here, congratulations to you all 🥳 x

Oh wow! Two in one day! Congratulations @adogisforlife91. Let’s hope the luck continues! 💜💜

@bez91 amazing!! Congrats! 🥳

Congratulations @bez91 I just got mine too! AF due tomorrow but couldn't resist a test. Can't quite believe it

Thank you @SarahMumof1DS that’s good to know. I’ll give it a go.

@Highfalutinlootin I was reading up on those yesterday. I think I’ll give standard temping a go first and see if it works for me then if not I’ll definitely consider getting one.

Congratulations @bez91 that is fantastic!!

Tested this morning at 14dpo and got a BFP 😃 sending baby dust to all! X
