The long tww begins!!! My positive opk was Friday so guessing today I'm 1dpo. Been dtd everyday for last week so hoping we have caught! Although I only have one Fallopian tube due to ectopic two months ago xxx

@MamaMoonbeam I bought a ferti-Lilly about 2 months ago as a last ditched attempt to get something to work 🙈🙈

Grumpsy · 23/11/2020 09:03

25 not 35

Grumpsy · 23/11/2020 09:02

@Toastedsesame I’m a control freak too, but I think i got that stressed last month (after the bleeding, I was fine before) it’s made me take a step back.

@MamaMoonbeam I started taking pregnacare conception about 4 months ago rather than just the Seven seas one. I may switch back after this month and see if that’s what’s making it go to pot. I used to be 28 days, and once or twice a year it would fall a day either side 🙄🙈 now it seems to alternate between 26 and 30, but last month was 25 🤦🏻‍♀️ (First time I’ve ever had a 35 day cycle 🙄)

MamaMoonbeam · 23/11/2020 08:45

@Grumpsy there's still time! Doing it tues or weds should cover you if you're only going to be DTD once 😁 are you taking prenatal vits? It's strange your af has changed.

I am CD6 with ovulation due in 11 days! The countdown begins!

@littleeggcup @Toastedsesame
My OH is loving me taking charge of when we DTD apart from at the end of my fw when he's worried that his poor chap won't work properly 🙈😂

Has anyone modified or changed anything since they started TTC?
After my CP I have started taking a concentrated fish oil supplement and also charting my bbt. I was taking pregnacare conception and am continuing to do so. After we DTD i put my diaphragm in and leave it there until the morning - everything seems a bit less messy then! 😁

Toastedsesame · 23/11/2020 08:31

@Grumpsy I know exactly what you mean, I wish I could relax and go with it but I am a bit of a control freak. I'm 34 now so I don't want to hang about. Going to be organised with my tracking this month, might even try temping.

Get DTD with you!

Grumpsy · 23/11/2020 08:24

@Toastedsesame to be fair, it’ll be somewhere between Wednesday and Sunday, depending on whether it’s a long or short cycle. So still time. And to think my cycles used to be like clockwork before ttc 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ At the moment they seem to have settled for either 26 or 30days.

I think we need to try and take a step back at some point and try and enjoy it rather than it feeling like a chore 🙈

Toastedsesame · 23/11/2020 08:18

Ah no @Grumpsy when is yr predicted day of ov? Still time - only takes once!

Cd2 for me today.

@SarahAnne87 oh same!! Going to try and restrain myself this time.

Grumpsy · 23/11/2020 08:06

@millionairesshortbread4 welcome and gl this month!

Grumpsy · 23/11/2020 08:03

@MamaMoonbeam @Toastedsesame @littleeggcup surely one of us should get a Christmas surprise.

Currently cd10 for me, and the way this month is going I don’t think we will be in with much chance. Have not BD once yet in my fertile window 🙈

millionairesshortbread4 · 22/11/2020 22:08

Hey everyone!! Jumping onboard!

Been TTC since May. Using OPKs and this month have been doing SMEP and Preseed for the first. Got CB solid smiley on Friday so today should be 1 DPO..

Hoping for sticky babies for all 🙏❤️

SarahAnne87 · 22/11/2020 21:52

Hope everyone is well! I’ve had a little break from thinking about TTC and almost ready to get back on it. PLEASE - remind me not to convince myself I’m pregnant again because it just makes it worse when you’re not 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️
Hoping for some Christmas magic for us all x

Dearmaria · 22/11/2020 21:18

Oh I'm so glad to see this thread is still going! I've been phoneless for a week after leaning out the window whilst taking a call and dropping the bloody thing 🙈

I'm on CD11 now after AF arriving a little earlier than anticipated. So hopeful for a Christmas BFP. Sending you all lots of positive vibes and good luck!

MamaMoonbeam · 22/11/2020 20:47

CD5 and getting back on that TTC pony from tomorrow!
What CD it's everyone else now? Although it's disappointing to have not gotten bpf, I am pleased there's some of us in the same boat 😊 xx

Grumpsy · 22/11/2020 19:59

@Toastedsesame I’m so sorry! I had everything crossed for you! Xx

Er1608 · 22/11/2020 18:59

I’m currently 3 dpo and feeling a tingly/stitch kind of feeling in the bottom and right side of my stomach. Anyone else?

MamaMoonbeam · 22/11/2020 18:20

Oh no @toastedsesame, I was really hoping you got a BFP!
More xmas bfps for us lot then! 😁

Dogmom92 · 22/11/2020 17:40

@littleeggcup thanks! Yes first time trying, first cycle which should be coming to an end any day now. Hard to know when given i was on the pill for years!

Going to try to take it easy and see how it goes - maybe test soon tho i doubt i will be first time lucky!

Fingers crossed for you!

Toastedsesame · 22/11/2020 14:32

@littleeggcup ah well, obviously wasn't meant to be! next time I will have a better idea of how my cycle goes and I will more practiced with OPK's so fingers crossed. Where are you at now?

littleeggcup · 22/11/2020 12:47

@Dogmom92 hey! Nice of you to join and exciting too! Is this your first time trying?

Let me know if you need help with the acronyms!

I'm on cd 9. My cycles are usually 29 days... second cycle of ttc since my surgery for ectopic! Xxxx

littleeggcup · 22/11/2020 12:45

@Toastedsesame ohhh I was really rooting for you!

To be fair the IC tests I had were awful and I had loads of ones that looked like faint positives :( they never got darker and my period came!! Xx

Dogmom92 · 22/11/2020 09:04

Hi all!
I hope you dont mind me joining, i have been reading through the thread and i am really new to this - still trying to work out all the acronyms!

I stopped taking the pill at the end of Sept, and this month is my first real cycle so i have no idea how long it is etc, i have just been going off all if the tips and indicators you guys and other threads have been mentioning and i have learned so much.

🤞 for the xmas BFPs!

Taylor1234 · 22/11/2020 08:38

Oh mo😑 at least you know now instead of waiting! Still no sign of AF for me, woke up at half 5 this morning m after a strange dream and with back ache but going tk leave it till tomorrow and then test x

Toastedsesame · 22/11/2020 08:15

Taylor1234 · 21/11/2020 20:59
