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.

Hi ladies. I'm day 28. My cycle is a bit random but I ovulate 14 days ago ish....got a positive stagnant smiley face Saturday 2 weeks ago. Really felt af was coming and told myself I'm not pregnant and just deal with it and enjoy my weekend. The inner voice was still going so while dh and the kids were out, I did a test, purely just to shut up my inner voice and well....it's positive. Ill see if I can attach a picture. I don't know what to think. An app is telling me I'm 3 weeks pregnant. But when I Google 3 weeks pregnant, it says its too early to test!! So although I feel hopeful, I find it so strange looking at the 2 lines, I kind of can't believe this could be happening....its like I don't want to believe it. Does any of that make sense? I haven't even said anything to dh. Will do more tests in a few days. I never knew about chemical pregnancies, and now I'm worried about that too!!!! I'm wrecking my own head, so I'm better off not telling dh right nowConfused suppose I just want to say it somewhere, write it down and try to express how I'm feeling right now. I have had lower back pain and slight period pain most of the week. Needing to pee during the night and feel so sick but didn't think too much of it. The irony of it all, I normally symptom spot but I'm back in work and just didn't have time to think about it that much.
Just feeling a bit anxious. Period was possibly due today, so it wasn't too early to test??? I know that, but it's like I just don't want to to believe it.

Afternoon everyone...

AF appeared yesterday but I was quite happy because we've spend the last week in no mans land, no positive but no period.
Spoke to GP who advised me that a 35 Day cycle and a 17 Luteal phase is good since coming off the coil in Jan.
We are going to go through some fertility tests next month just to rule out the basics...as just waiting is driving me crazy..

But CD2
Anyone else?

@KatieLooLa

Just had covid test, ugh so uncomfortable! My nose still hurts!
Urgh grim.

My mum just came to get her Mother's Day present from me (from the doorstep) she was saying I should be able to get my jab next month. Another reason I hope I'm pregnant this time so that I don't have to try and explain that one!!!

@KatieLooLa

Fruity ciders, Chinese takeaway and chocolate, all needed on AF and self isolation 😂
Sounds perfect!! I had a couple of wines last night but I think after this weekend I'm going to stop drinking now.

Sallyjo27 · 12/03/2021 18:28

@CycloGoose yes not at the same time though lol
I definitely think ovusense is better!

I had AMH, an Ultrasound of my womb and ovaries, thyroid, 21 day progesterone, blood clotting, immune antibodies tested vitamin d and B12, inflammation tested too and my husband had a sperm analysis. We went privately.
Not dr fertility... medichecks. I’ll put the link below. I’m not working for them though haha I just think it’s really worth the money. I wish I had seen this before going private if I’m honest.

Also, I wish all the easter rabbits would do one, they don't count do they?!

lucea87 · 12/03/2021 18:15

I'm gonna have a wine tonight too I think. Drink until it's pink apparently 🤷🏼‍♀️ and it's been a long week!

I was saying to @CycloGoose earlier that I've got what seems to be loads of EWCM today which is weird so gonna make sure we DTD tonight so we don't miss anything. I've put it on femometer but it's not changed my date thankfully!

Slinks8113 · 12/03/2021 16:48

@KatieLooLa I've started on them too this month...along with a load of other vitamins to see if that helps at all, spent a load of time googling and placed an order with Holland and Barrett last week. Would be lovely if they helped at all before my appointment in April!
Thank god the working week is over! Looking forward to a lazy weekend, AF takes it out of you! 🍷 time too! X x

KatieLooLa · 12/03/2021 13:27

My day just keeps getting better!
Just been on the phone to test and trace and now having to isolate! So I’ve ordered some alcohol and chocolate from local shop.
Plus side is a few days off from work 😂

CycloGoose · 12/03/2021 12:15

@Sallyjo27 you had the OvuSense and the Ava? I did think about the Ava but I think I'm happy with my choice. I'm going to use the Femometer digital lh strips this time too.

Which tests did you get done? I'm just worried about the expense of it all as well. Did you go to a clinic? I saw the Dr. Fertility tests... It's all just so confusing!

Oooh I'm so excited for you and your Snow moon baby. Sounds like you implant early from your early BFPs. I don't know much about those levels but I'm really keeping everything crossed that this is your lovely sticky baby 🦄🌈✨

CycloGoose · 12/03/2021 11:18

Ohhhh @KatieLooLa I'm so sorry. I really had everything crossed for you. Let's go 3 out of 3 next time and all have beautiful Christmas present babies! I was miserable as sin for about 3 hours yesterday but we have to put our big girl pants on like the birthday girl said 🤣 I absofrickinlutely loved Pinky and the Brain. Yessssss. The same thing we do every month, pinky: Try to make a sticky baby.

@Slinks8113 wiiiiiiine tiiiiiiiime!

@MammaJ21 no harm in trying! Usually 12-48 hours after your surge so go for it I'd say!

Woke up to 'the greatest love of all' in my head this morning. Not very subtle hint from my subconscious to be kind to myself. Pass the yoga mat, stat!

KatieLooLa · 12/03/2021 10:17

Started taking the pregnacare conception vitamins last night, they’ve been in the bathroom cupboard for a good couple months, so maybe they’ll help on the new cycle. It sucks that AF got here early and must admit I went to bed feeling pretty sorry for myself.
Now I feel a bit like Pinky and The Brain but instead of taking over the world I just wanna get pregnant 😂
Here’s to the next cycle ladies! 🥂

lucea87 · 12/03/2021 10:03

@KatieLooLa oh no, sorry the witch has arrived 😢

@MammaJ21 I don't think you ovulate at the point of peak, you ovulate 12-48 hours later so hopefully you will be all good! I got my peak on Tuesday but don't think I ovulated until Wednesday. We DTD Monday & Wednesday and will DTD tonight too. The egg hangs around for about 24 hours I think

Xxx

minthumbugs · 12/03/2021 09:34

Ahhhh sorry @KatieLooLa :( that's rubbish. Hope you're ok. Xx

@MammaJ21 I think it can be anything up to 36 hours! You're the same as me this month - missed the day I got positive OPK and only DTD the 2 days after. Few weeks and we will see how that worked out lol :)

Slinks8113 · 12/03/2021 09:28

Sorry to hear @KatieLooLa that AF has arrived! Welcome to the new cycle club though as me and @CycloGoose are around the same time soon. We're all in this together 😘
Personally I'm feeling grateful for a large glass of wine tonight xx

Slinks8113 · 12/03/2021 09:27

Happy birthday @kaylsd 🥰 hope you have a good day!! Xx

MammaJ21 · 12/03/2021 08:58

Hi all
Just a quick Q as I keep searching and reading all different answers. Had a positive ov test ast night but didn't dtd Is tonight too late?

KatieLooLa · 12/03/2021 08:36

CycloGoose · 12/03/2021 07:58

Happy birthday @kaylsd !!!

KatieLooLa · 12/03/2021 07:52

AF reared her ugly head early, was spotting last night and it’s a bit heavier this morning. Ugh....

minthumbugs · 12/03/2021 07:51
