TTC Jan 2021

@xTinkerbell I started with the OPK's on Tuesday which was only CD9 for me but if I'm only going to use them for a month or 2 I want to try and get a good idea of where I'm at!

I'm predicted to ovulate on Sunday (but who knows after only 1 cycle) so I'm hoping to see some increased readings from tomorrow - last 3 days very low.

@busyfizzy what pill was you on? I had withdrawal bleed 22nd-27th December. I never stopped the pill i just randomly came on, on the 22nd before the pack was finished had a week left so just decided not to take anymore and start from then. I've not had a natural period yet it shud be due on 19th Jan if I base it on a 28 day cycle. Xx

I’ve ordered some cheapy tests but even when I do have late AF I think I’m gonna hold off a few days in case it’s just late. With baby 1 I tested 4 days late but I’ll see if I have the willpower when it happens.

Ordered some ovulation tests too but only going to use them one month to make sure I am actually ovulating and pinpoint roughly where in my cycle. Then just going back to DTD every other day cause I know I’ll get obsessed if I use OPK’s regularly

Yeh i read those too. Due on Friday so fingers crossed. Didn't use ovulation tests but used the app and made sure we were on it. Lol!!

@sarraah Carlisle 

@busyfizzy so many posts I've seen that say they've had had a negative early test are flooded with responses to test again in a couple days, you're still in the game for sure!

Hey everyone. Very new to this.. First month ttc. Had a withdrawal bleed after I came off the pill in November. Had my first proper cycle well I assume so starting on 18th December. Due to come on this Friday... Already caved and bought the early tests which say no so not holding out too much hope. 😔

What are peoples ages and where are you all from?
I'm 31 and from Newcastle Upon Tyne (UK)

@glow92 🤣

@sarraah I know right! I was the pill but that stopped me completely for 9 years, the majority my my adult life... taken me till now at 28 to actually understand it.
My google search history is hilarious the amount of abbreviations I've searched!

@Nats7504 it's crazy not having a period for so long and forgetting what it's like having one.. I had the coils in for 5 years then took out and a new one put in so it's been 6 years since I last had a period.. It's a waiting game to start planning the days.
I'm all new to the short words and don't understand.. iv just figured out DTD 😆 xx

@sarraah I had my coil taken out in October after having it in 5 years, I had a breakthrough bleed after removal and my periods went back to normal pretty much straight away.

This is our first month actively trying and due AF Friday. I don’t think it’s happened this month as I just feel hormonal so think she’s on her way. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi we've decided on TTC baby number 3.. iv got 2 boys aged 11 and 6 and I feel very excited as I thought that we were going to stop at 2.
Iv just had the coil taken out on Friday so I'm waiting for my cycle to start.. anyone else had a coil removed and how long it took them to get back on track? Xx
Hope everyone is well

If anyone wants to join i have made another thread for anyone ttc or recently pregnant its called - TTC 2021-lets keep it fun and interesting (sex talk) xx

@MrsE95 only cd7 so not much happening at all so far 😅 think we're going to aim for sex every other day between cd10 and cd20 (ish) and see where that gets us. Think I'm going to need to learn a lesson in patience for this process. I must check my cycle tracking app about 4 times a day and I'm OUTRAGED that yes, I'm still on the same cycle day I was 4 hours ago 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ how are you feeling? What cd are you? X

Hey everyone!

We are trying to conceive baby number 2! Iv been off the pill since august and nothing I came on my period Sunday! I'm due to ovulate 23-25th so fingers crossed happens this month!

@MrsE95 I'm only CD10, the next week should be fun!

I don’t think this Is our month, AF not due till 28th but just a feeling I have so no symptom spotting here !

@MrsA9 same, I think family know we're 'getting to that point' as we're 28 and been together a number of years but I think even he's a bit lost with it all already to be honest! It's so nice to be able to openly discuss here.

@MrsE95 i will say i will go with the flow but i recon i will probs become obsessive. When i got pg late last year i wasnt tracking ovulation or anything, just went for it. Luckily myself and my bf have high sex drive which helps. Do you get discharge before ovulation? Xx

Great to have so many people to start this journey with! I got my peak yesterday and feeling very crampy today which is typical when I ovulate. I've the other half practically running away from me at this stage when he sees me coming 😂😂😂

@glow92 thank you! I might order some actually, like you say at least for the first month or two just to check everything is working as it should be.
So good to have a thread going as a place to talk about all this, only me and my husband know we're starting to try so it's a good outlet without chewing his ears off 😂

@glow92 since i had my misscarriage in dec, also had one in 2018 ive been researching even mumsnet threads going back 2007 and ive found a lot of women mentioning the same things. Pregnacare trying for a baby, seems to have all the vitamins in we need. Im also taking cod liver oil tablets. Xx
