Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

@lucea87 that definitely sounds promising! Can I ask who you had the reading with please? X

Hey!
Hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread
Currently think I could be pregnant
Had sex 14th Feb (wink wink😂)
My flo app says I should have ovulated on 17th but I have a feeling I actually ovulated before as I get really bad headaches during ovulation
Anyway after sex I had some really light spotting
That went by the 17th
Had a few little flutters in my tummy and ongoing headaches and then this morning when I wiped I had a small amount of pink/brown when I wiped and nothing since!
Along with a headache, backache and cramping, also feeling very tired
We aren't actively ttc but would be a nice surprise for us
I did do a test and I'm pretty sure I can see the faintest line in some lights, could be my mind playing tricks
AF is due 4th March xx

lucea87 · 21/02/2021 18:47

@kaylsd there is definitely something there and not any evap if it showed up in the time window? Fingers crossed for you!

So, I have my reading!! In summary my significant month is February/March, it will be a boy and the signs I should look for is 'rabbits'

Let's see what happens...! The month can be conception, cycle, due date, birth date...I'm hoping it's cycle as obvs the cycle I'm in will span the two months 🤞🏼

CycloGoose · 21/02/2021 13:59

@kaylsd I see a line... Don't give up hope yet. This could be it but a bit too early to tell for sure. You could maybe try a First Response ER as they are the most sensitive? Definitely try again when you feel ready. That would be super exciting to have three of you with BFP the same month!

@Iloveoreos sorry to hear it's CD1 really frustrating. I'm on CD9 now so a little ahead but my cycle was confusing last month so not sure what's going to happen this time! Same @sarahhouse good luck for this one. Your next FW will be here before you know it.

@slinks8113 tell me about it. Such a long slog. It's like time stands still. I don't know what is going on with my cycles right now. I've been exactly regular and now no idea. Only did the CB OPK first time last cycle and I went straight to peak CD13 then AF CD24. Maybe I ovulated straight after my surge was detected? This month I got flashy on CD7 so I'm confused as hell. Could be in for another 4 flashy days... Who knows!

SarahHouse · 21/02/2021 13:38

So much congrats for all those BFPs ❤ My AF was in full swing by the end of friday so fingers crossed for next time.

Hope everyones having a lovely weekend!

Iloveoreos · 21/02/2021 13:23

Cd 1 for me today.. who is on or around a new cycle here?

Slinks8113 · 21/02/2021 13:19

@CycloGoose oh that would be nice to be TWW buddies, it's such a drag after it's confirmed! Last one was only 9 days and time before temp didn't get high enough but to be honest I never really tracked before the MC so I assume it was relatively normal before then. Do you usually get flashy faces for a longer time? This is my first month using them so not sure what to expect 🤷🏼‍♀️ x

kaylsd · 21/02/2021 13:18

[quote Slinks8113]@kaylsd it looks like something is there, it's hard not to get line eyes though isn't it 🙈 might have to hold out for another two days! X [/quote]
Tell me about it sweet! I've held it upside down to the light shaking it in the air like I'm trying to get signal on a old phone 😂😂😂😂 I think I'm just gonna hold out now until after AF 🤞🏻❤️

Sorry for being so quiet over these last few days was trying to keep myself busy during this longest TWW of my life. So I caved this morning despite AF not being due apparently now on both of my apps based on temperature whilst Tuesday Wednesday? So when I thought I was 14 dpo it's saying I'm now 12 dpo so I haven't the foggiest! I took a CB early first response because today said it was the earliest I could take one and this was my result... I couldn't see much to my eye I thought so I took a photo and placed it on the tweak and there looks to be something there? Whether it's a bad Evap / false positive I'm unsure? What do you girls recon?

I'm actually so scared to retest! I have slight cramping but that's about it... I'm pretty sure I'll be out this month going into cycle 7 but I thought I'd just share this anyway ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations to you lovely ladies with your BFP I am so happy for you, wishing you all a happy and healthy 9 month 🌈🥰🤰❤️

Ooooh @Slinks8113 that's exciting! We might end up being TWW buddies. Flashy day 3 here but I think I'm going to have a long flashy month 😂 very early for me but fingers crossed. We had a day off today which is right for SMEP but we did two days in a row. Back to school tomorrow so not sure how we're going to manage that one! DH only seems to be bothered on a morning so I'll be telling him to set early alarm 😂
I'm not sure we'll be able to do the 3 days in a row once we get static smiley but we'll do our best! Fingers crossed for your LP too! Mine was only 9 days last cycle but I'm trying not to stress about that. How long is yours normally? Mine has been fairly consistently 14 days before this.

@fifi1086 I don't know where you get the energy! Keep us in the loop. Half way through the TWW. You got this!

My DH doesn't like the pressure but he's admitted he won't do enough if he doesn't know.

I feel really strange this cycle. Keep thinking there's something strange going on inside me but it's definitely not a baby. I have about 50 IC tests that keeps coming with my OPKs so I did a triple check test today. Not sure what's going on. Probably gas 😂

kaylsd · 21/02/2021 13:01

@els10

After telling myself I wasn't testing because I was confident I wasn't pregnant, shows how much I know 😂 This was yesterday, I've had some brown spotting today which is exactly the same timeline as my MC, so I'm not too hopeful to be honest. Cross your fingers for me please!x
Sorry I've been so quiet congratulations sweetheart that's amazing news!!!!
Fifi1086 · 21/02/2021 09:40

Yay for flashing smiley @Slinks8113 hopefully you get your static soon!

@CycloGoose SMEP is intense, I actually didn't tell DP I was ovulating this month as he hates the pressure. I didn't really know what SMEP was til yesterday but I think I kind of did follow it except we dtd every day 😂 but consistently 4 days before O and day after.

I'm now 6dpo, hope this week goes fast! Still cramping, my temps have kind of levelled out last two days with no major jumps. Not sure if that means anything haha

Slinks8113 · 21/02/2021 09:25

@Slinks8113

CD13 and flashing smiley this morning!! All stations go haha. So if I'm doing SMEP, is it just aim for every day until peak or twice a day? I'm also super excited that I may be ovulating on a 'Normal' time as last few cycles after miscarriage have been very late in the month (around CD22-24) with a short LP. This is my first month trying Angus cactus as well so I think it's linked. Hopefully it helps with my LP as well x
Ignore my SMEP question - just saw your post @Sallyjo27 - thanks xx

Everything crossed for you @els10 !

Enjoy the reading @lucea87

@Sallyjo27 sounds like you have had a tough journey to get to this point.

I think DH already tired of SMEP. 🤦

lucea87 · 20/02/2021 20:26

Reading booked tomorrow....I'll keep you posted....!!xx

@lucea87 let me know how you get on. It's something I'm really intrigued about x

lucea87 · 20/02/2021 18:48

That's ok. I think I'd find it weird as a video call! I've messaged her!x

Slinks8113 · 20/02/2021 18:43

@lucea87 it was just over messenger so yes it's hardly an aura or conversation etc. Who knows, I think I was just feeling a bit stressed and thought it might help 😂 and in my case it has as I'm not stressing this month in terms of ttc x x

Slinks8113 · 20/02/2021 18:41

@Sallyjo27 definitely agree with you in terms of the vulnerability factor as I don't think I would have asked if I had not had a miscarriage in December either. I've had a tarot reading before as my friend dragged me along and it was pretty accurate in terms of career and love life at the time. X

lucea87 · 20/02/2021 18:23

How did she do it? Was it a video call? Or just over messenger?

@lucea87 @Slinks8113 I’ve bought soooo many reading from Etsy. This was one “ Message:First we look at a month that will be significant in your fertility journey and for this I have got April. I only look 12 months ahead so this would be April this year.

Next is the gender and the personality of the baby in for this I have got a little girl who is going to be very into nature and animals so a very gentle little girl. She's likely to be very curious so getting anywhere will take you ages a silhouette be stopping and putting things in her pockets to keep. a bit of a treasure hunter.

Finally I'm looking at what could stop you or what could potentially get in your way and for this I have got the card of wait for winter so although April has come out as significant, it could mean but a better time would be during the winter. It tells me that you will have more spirit energy around you in the winter helping you to manifest baby. With this card it very much feels as though this baby will happen for you regardless and keeping warm would be helpful so during the two week wait, it's been known to help if you wear socks but also take half an hour a day to put a hot water bottle on your belly and to just lay down and relax as it really helps with that implantation process. Snow is somehow going to be significant around this pregnancy so either you'll give birth when it snowing or you will conceive when it's snowing.”

I’ve added the other as an attachment. I take them with a pinch of salt though as I don’t want the pressure of thinking “well I must get pregnant that month because the reading says” if you know what I mean. My husband doesn’t like them though he thinks they prey on people when their vulnerable- (i bought these after my 4th miscarriage in December). I think as long as their seen as fun then there’s no harm xxx
