Trying but not trying...anyone else?

@mrssunshinexxx this is my first month using them - yeah I do that too! Maybe I actually haven’t ovulated yet. Trying to temp too- have you tried it xx

@Brightspark12 what month are you on? I use the clear blue ones first wee of the day ! X

@MMG21 yeah maybe try and have some fun first of all before having to resort to the sticks! You may be lucky fingers crossed x

@mrssunshinexxx Hiya! That’s good news! I’m on CD17 and not a sniff of even a flashing smiley! Someone said on another thread maybe I should try doing the clearblue tests later in the afternoon... when do you do them x

@Brightspark12 what cd are you on ? I'm cd 14 and got flashing smiley today

@Brightspark12 Its a bit difficult for me because I stopped my pill in December so if i go off first day of last period (with drawal bleed) theoretically I should be due AF 19th Jan. I typed this in a calculator and it said ovulation dates 2nd-8th but my hubby has been working away so only managed to do 1st 2nd 7th 8th so I doubt it'll be this time round 😒 I don't wanna have to do sticks etc but I won't rule it out x

@MMG21 😂😂 are you tracking anything or just seeing how it goes? I’ve started taking my temperature and doing ovulation kits out of curiosity that everything is working as it should be... trying not to get obsessed😬

@Brightspark12 same 🤣🤣 trying not to be disappointed when the hubby falls asleep or is too tired to DTD i know he knows what I'm after and I think he resents me for it a bit 😂🤣🤣

Hi can I join!! Not trying but not not trying if that makes sense 😂 xx

Hi please can i join? I am TTC #2 my daughter is nearly 10! Came off the pill in December had withdrawal bleed 22nd-27th and DTD ever since 🤣🤣 theoretically I should be due AF 19th Jan but who knows? I'm taking a relaxed approach but also thinking about it 90% of the day. Also since stopping the pill my libedo has increased massively also because I want to get pregnant but its a huge change ive notice anyone else noticed that after stopping BC?

Well that gives me confidence in it! I’m enjoying the symptom tracking etc

Hi ladies hoping to join
TTC no2 LO is 6months old I am using Flo and clear blue opks its month 1 of trying hopingnit happens ASAP as the point is a small gap.
@TerrifiedOfTrying4No2 I'm sane as you section first time really want vbac next time. I had 4 infections after my section

I'm another that used flo and it resulted in ds, and am using it again.
Looking back like little says it only took a couple of cycles for it to work out my pattern.

DH and I had been not trying to prevent for 3 years and actively trying for 3 months with no scares or anything before I downloaded it and after 3 cycles we conceived the first time, it then took a further 5 cycles before ds "stuck".
So we're back to the not trying to prevent, but I'm making notes of everything in flo again, which makes me think my relaxed approach is all front 🤣

I use the Flo app, and did when we conceived DS too, worked well. After a few cycles it learns your patterns and gets pretty good at predicting ovulation etc.

I use the Flo app. Worked well for me when ttc DD1

I'm using the clue app!
Been dtd on the regular but not sure if I ovulated or not yet, not checking or temping, feeling starving today, super nauseous and the salmon I cooked for dinner smelled so strong! So naturally I'm not chill at all and convinced I'm up the duff

We were going to be so chill about it but now I can’t stop thinking about it! 😂 I got the Flo app has anyone used it before?

We’re sort of trying.

By that I mean I want one, other half doesn’t mind but doesn’t want me all military like I was with no1

Ended up having sex day before ovulation without realising.. said he’s going to wear a condom the majority of times we have sex- so far hasn’t had the will power to put one on 😂 now I’m terrified and kind of hoping AF turns up.

I had a horrendous time being a wuss about my c section recovery, it was really painful although straightforward and no infections so I was just being a pansy. Anyway, I just can’t bear the thought of doing it again and hoping I get a VBAC if I am pregnant.

Welcome @littledinokitty! Sounds like the perfect relaxed approach! Fingers crossed for all of us

Hi all, can I join? We're going to start trying for no. 2 this month, taking a relaxed approach of dtd every 2-3 days and no opks or SMEP etc. No. 1 took 6 months to conceive so I'm not expecting miracles this month. Should be fertile next week I think.

Thanks @Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese we had done it lots up to day 9 but then work got in the way so who knows. We really only just loosely started trying anyway and there's no rush we're only 30 so plenty of time ish.

Thing is it started casual with us both agreeing to stop trying so actively to prevent pregnancy, but now it's all I can think about

Slim chance, but its still a chance @stillfeelingmad. Fingers crossed for you. I'm 2dpo and we dtd last night too (well early hours of this morning after binging supernatural all evening) so I'm hoping we'll get a bfp in a couple of weeks, will carry on when to mood strikes regardless haha.

Managed to find time to dtd last night cd12 but out of habit built over the last 6 months of not trying dh pulled out right at the last second so chances slim this month of bfp!

Thanks ladies! Maybe there's still a chance this month then! We dtd on day 7 and 8 (in the evening if that helps lol)
If not next month will come along, we're being casual after all
