Anyone TTC May

CD1 one for me today, first cycle trying.

Me! TTC #2
Dd was conceived in cycle 1 so hoping for the same again but understand that's unlikely
Fingers crossed for everyone

Hi everyone, I'm CD4, month 4 TCC #2 and now feeling super impatient!! I've not been tracking ovulation, just DTD every other day, but maybe need to up my game this month...

Hi everyone! We're on cycle 8, I got rid of the OPKs last month & tried to 'relax' a bit. I'm actually in the fertile week now and we DTD a bit more before ovulation (previously mostly during/ after). I'm getting quite impatient now. I feel like this month will be difficult for me if it's another month with no BFP!
Good luck everyone x

Hey Everyone! This is our first proper month TTC - quite scary but also also very exciting! Got some opks and hoping that will help me understand what's going on! any top tips for TTC? xx

@FayLiv ooh that sounds promising!! Fingers crossed for you! My cycles have been weird since I stopped breastfeeding so I’m either due on Tuesday or Friday, judging by my absolutely rotten stinking mood today I’m guessing Tuesday.

@FayLiv good luck!! 1 day late is promising! xx I'm so bad at waiting. I'm due on on Monday and I had a little spotting but I still tested. BFN but knew that was going to happen because of the spotting. I'm just ready for AF to arrive now

@Losd no harm in trying them all!!

@angc30 I’ve heard of pineapple core too! It also helps induce labour apparently, I tried eating it from 39 weeks last time when I just plain fed up with my back-to-back pregnancy but I don’t think it helped. Will give it a go for conception of baby 2 though!

[quote angc30]@beckyCarlos pineapple core, Brazil nuts and pomegranate juice. I swear I may try standing on my head this cycle 🤣 I'm willing to try anything if anyone has anymore suggestions xx[/quote]
Pineapple core?! Just googling lol. Brazil nuts and pomegranate going on the tescos list right now. Ive done some leg elevation afterwards but shuffling round isnt the most graceful and can lead to...spillages 😂

Am I okay to jump on ladies? It’ll be cycle 2 for me as I’m expecting af shortly after loads of bfn’s 😞 hopefully this is the lucky thread we all need and have lots of BFP’s next month! 🤞🏽💗

@angc30 what old wives tales are you going by? Ill try anything at this point 🤣x

Hey all! Is alright if I pop on?

I had a miscarriage at 9ish weeks at the end of February and this was our first cycle ttc since. It's our 4th mc so a bit of a rollercoaster but fingers crossed for the next one!

I ovulated early this month so AF is due on Monday. Spotting today and BFN yesterday so pretty sure it's not going to turn into a BFP.

We've been doing SMEP plus preseed and all the old wives tales. All that has been helpful as I have gotten pregnant 4 times in 13 months just can't get a sticky one

Lol like @tothemoonandback21 said SMEP is a lot of energy though. WAY tmi but sometimes that preseed is a god send lol

@FrogsHiccups I'm in a similar boat! I'm on pregnacare conception plus vit d and extra folic acid. We're waiting for the NHS clinic but it's delayed bc of Covid

Good luck everyone xx

@beckyCarlos SMEP = Sperm Meets Egg Plan

Still remember all the TTC lingo from last time 😂[/quote]
Of course

@fayliv omg everything is crossed for you! Hopefully this is a good sign!

@rudyroo me too, we're waiting for an appointment with the fertility clinic to get checked but I could easily be psyching myself out because theres nothing else really to focus on! If I was going to the pictures or seeing friends for dinner, or even commuting, I'd have so many other distractions (or so I keep telling myself haha)

@FayLiv 😂 baby names always a nice distraction.

Why is AF always so annoyingly late when TTC and over analysing every single thing?! Hope she doesn't show for you...you never know! 🤞🏼

Well I'm feeling quite glad that at least real life is starting to resume slightly now that I'll be able to have some distractions this month other than focussing every single thought in TTC. Catching up with friends and sitting outside for BBQ's with a nice cold beer or two. Might even go wild and go inside a shop! Hope you are all staying positive ladies 💪🏼

Hi everyone. Long time lurker here! Hope you don’t mind me joining!
@Starfish789 I’m similar to you. 18months ttc #2. Two miscarriages. PCOS diagnosis due to irregular cycles, but none of the other standard symptoms. Waiting for Clomid treatment (delayed in our area because of Covid). Have been prescribed metformin by consultant. He also recommended vit d, vit b complex, inositol, folic acid and co q-10. So got all those on the go. And also doing soy isoflavones because at this stage I’ve nothing to lose!
🤞🏻 For lots of bfps and sticky beans for may!

@charlotte0808 🤞for you! Hopefully the prescription works!

@lovelylion3 i always find day 1 the worst, I try and keep positive but it always feels like such a letdown

@tothemoonandback21 thanks! Might give that a go, anything to feel like I have a bit of control over the situation haha x

@beckyCarlos think I really need to take the cold turkey POAS approach too, I was terrible this month!! Sperm Meets Egg Plan is basically a lot of BDing to try to make sure swimmers are fresh and lined up in the right place at the right time... I think it's every other day from cd8 (or a bit later if you ovulate later), then every day for three days after you get a peak on an OPK. Then skip a day then try one last time. I'm not sure about it but will try anything, I'm only cycle 2 but missing out this month made me realise how much I want it! X

Yes, 18 months TTC#2. Trying Soya Isoflavones for the second month. Hoping for a BFP!

AF just arrived. 🙄
