Post Christmas TTC?

I had loads of symptoms and loads of negative tests so its clearly me! Just waiting for AF to show up this week and go again

@BrightonR I'm on CD9 today, also predicted to OV on 9th!! Weirdly I have exactly the same symptoms...my boobs feel bigger but not sore and I've been feeling tired (I think it all must be in my head though tbh)! I also had a mega hot bath a couple of nights ago and then panicked so I am with you on the overthinking front!

I got a flashing smiley yesterday and today on clear blue connected ovulation tracker and we start BD the day after AF finished and will carry on everyday until probably a couple of days after ovulation!

Fingers crossed for some BFPs!

@Summerbubba ah congrats!!! Send any tips our way Great news for the new year x

@Summerbubba congratulations x

Hello all BFP over here on an early response test. I’m 2 days before AF so I’m waiting to check what happens. However with baby #1 I did a similar test at a similar time so I do have trust in it. We will see if I’m right! Thanks

@rmd123 I hope it does happen quickly. Wow. So many typos sorry

@shannonl26 my AF arrived the 21st! And finished up around the 25th so we're pretty much on the same page! Great having other people on the same cycle

@shannonl26 good luck to us all! It's really exciting. The waiting is very taxing though! And hoping!

You never know @rmd123 I hope not does happy quickly. I've been trying since October and was convinced I'd done it first time but alas no. I will have to be patient

@RadDarwazeh good luck to you! I’m also trying for my first child, What an exciting adventure

@Rmd123 I’m also 26 & trying for my first. I’m on CD 15 with suspected ovulation date the 13th, it’s my first month of trying & im only using flo to track at the moment so who knows! I had my implant out last September then went on zelleta, but me & DH realised we are more than ready so came off the pill shortly before Christmas same as you. AF arrived on the 22nd & ended on 30th so anything could happen this month!

Hi all! Hope it's ok if I join. Trying for my first at 26. OPKS had high fertility on the 1st 2nd and morning of 3rd so I'm about 2/3 DPO. Back to low yesterday so hoping I ovulated! Came off the pill 17th of December so probably won't happen this month but who knows! Good luck everyone

Hi all can I please join? Trying for my first child at 32.

@BrightonR it’s so hard not to overthink everything isn’t it! Times are hard enough at the moment, we are allowed to worry

According to ‘flo’ I’m currently in my fertile window, suspected ovulation date 13th but it is my very first month so who knows what could happen! I’ve never really paid attention to my cycles so it’s all so confusing.

Fingers crossed to all x

I've used flo and thats it so far! I've also read up on the signs of ovulation so I guessed when it was. I caved and used OPKs but I think I started too late- i ovulate really early apparently fingers crossed for you!

@Amijustagrump got my fingers & toes crossed for you!! in all honesty I’m still getting to grips with it all, anybody have any suggestions as to what apps I could download? I’ve been using flo, but then downloaded Ovia & they were calculating 2 completely different suspected ovulation dates it’s all a guessing game this month, the joys

How is everyone doing?? Currently about 8dpo and feeling rough with sore boobs, cramps and backache- feeling semi optimistic!

Hey,

I had the implant, had it removed on the 23rd September as we were thinking of TTC but weren’t 100% so I started taking the pill the following day. However this only lasted 12 days as I had horrendous side effects so just decided to stop taking it and see what happened. I had a withdrawal bleed 5 days later. I then had my period 28 days exactly after the withdrawal bleed. In that time I was obsessed with doing opks (I did find them useful) I also used the pre mom app which I found really good to scan in your opks and it gives you a reading and helps work out your fertile window. The next month after my period was finished I was poorly with food poisoning so didn’t do dtd as much as I would of liked to. I was doing opks and got a slightly higher result but not a peak so tried to dtd in the fertile window the app predicted off the high reading. Then I was ill so stopped doing the opks testing and resumed once I was better and got an actual peak reading, I can only assume my body tried to ovulate and failed because I wasn’t well and then tried again. We only managed to dtd once since that peak reading after being unwell. So I was honestly counting myself out to being pregnant. The days came and went and I was up to cd 39 with no show of period. I assumed my body was just affected by having my implant removed as it can take six months plus to get back to normal and that the period I had after 28 days was just some good luck. I did a couple of pregnancy tests just because I had them and they were negative.
And then I had one left and thought I’ll do it to get rid of it 😂 and it was bloody positive!

So it can happen quickly although I know I’m extremely lucky! I was on some form of hormonal contraception for ten years aswell and I never had periods whilst on contraception so I had no idea what my cycles were even like. I was taking the pregnacare pre conception vitamins. No idea if these helped though.
But I would recommend opk testing and using the pre mom app. But it does start to consume you so try and relax about it if you can. Send you lots of baby dust ✨🤞🏼 Xxx

Hi guys thought I would join in too. We are trying for number 2 (number 1 was a July baby hence the name). Last time conceived days after having the implant out. This time had it removed in October and nothing so far which is making me a bit nervous. No changes in weight/general health for either of us. I’m 31 now (29 when I conceived last time). Same DH etc. Was I just lucky last time and this is normal or something else????

Hey guys thought I would join too, we are trying to conceive our first, I had the implant taken out on the 30th of November and started doing OPK got a peak fertility 4 days ago DTD a few times so now it’s just wait and see

Hey guys thought I’d join in! AF finished on the 30th & trying (failing) to take a super relaxed approach & I’ll be honest I have NO CLUE where to start or what changes to make, any vitamins to take the lot I’m 26 & DH is just about to turn 29! Here’s to 2021
