Lucky October? 🍀

Hi ladies AF has arrived today so CD1 for me, hoping this is our lucky month xx

Haha literally @Danani 👯‍♀️

Oh no, hope your food poisoning is just one day thing. I hate having any sort of stomach issues, there’s no much you can do about it and makes you feel yuk!

Regarding the temperatures, not sure myself, but looking at other peoples charts I think the norm is below 36.5 in the first part of your cycle … Your temperature could be higher now due to your bad belly plus not sleeping properly.

Good luck with staring DTD :) I’ll start as soon as I detect some CM

Ive got good feeling about October too 🍀🤞

Morning,

How is everyone?

I’ve messed up taking my BBT this morning- when I woke up I thought it’s much too early because it was so dark outside… turns out it was nearly six o’clock! I spent an hour trying to get back to sleep only to hear my alarm going an hour later 😫 my reading was 36.7 so I might as well discard it as I was awake for an hour… I need to get into a habit of taking it as soon as I’m awake.

My AF is winding down, just after 3 days! When I was younger, I used to have my periods for literally the whole week, it got much shorter as I got older ( or the hormonal BC did it)

Weather is pretty bad today so wrap up warm ladies !

Hi @Coco9910 - welcome! I’m on CD3/4 so won’t ovulate for a few weeks but 🤞🏻 this month. I’m on cycle #6. X

Hi all,

I’m gonna hop on here if that’s okay! I was due to ovulate on Friday but my opks are still quite faint so I’m hoping they get darker over the next couple of days 🤞🏼 3rd cycle TTC baby number 1 🥰 xx

I'm stressed and actually want AF to arrive 😭 it's CD38 today and another BFN arghh

My AF isn’t too bad actually! I’m feeling quite good and optimistic.

Also, looking my back I’m glad I thought I was pregnant last cycle - I’ve got a very detailed notes of all my symptoms which turned out to be my usual PMS. At least I know what symptoms are definitely not typical for me: sore boobs, spotting, constipation, lots of CM.

I’m measuring my temp, taking my vitamins and planning my fertile week, as well as planning my wedding 😂

Xx

I'm out, got a BFN. Fertility appointment next month!
I've now ovulated ten times over the last ten months (digital ovulation test showed so) and dtd all around that time. And nothing.... unless my tubes are totally blocked I just form know what it is anymore...

Heyyy moving over to this thread 👋🏼 CD37 for me today 🙄 and no sign of AF or a BFP ☹️

@Mummytobe93 it’s not showing for me! Just the three icons, maybe because I’m new to the forum?

@Peauela You need to click the paper clip icon and select Photo Library :)

Apparently there is no evidence that laying still or tilting your pelvis after DTD helps the sperm travel, like someone mentioned above it’s supposed to take seconds for it to reach the egg :) having said that there is probably no harm in doing it even if it would slightly increase the chances :D

I only recently noticed my libido is crazy high before my fertile window! Nature!

I wanted to ask a question with posting w picture but I don’t know how to add one anyone?

@Mummytobe93 yesss the body is so good isn’t it cos I’m the same in fertile week my libido shoots up! X

Isn’t it funny how it’s made out that men think about DTD all the time but it seems all our partners use the tired excuse 🤣 x

@Danani hmm I try to lie down for at least two mins after dtd. I thinkkkk jumping off the bed makes more come out 

@Mummytobe93 I know when I started ttc I would think 'there's NO way I can do this for a year I'd go insane!' Yet here I am, picking myself up again after each monthly disappointment 😪 my digital ovulation is showing I'm ovulation every month, we dtd every other day - and nothing ...

Hi @Veronika13 and @Kiaa , welcome on board 😄

@Veronika13 bless you, I truly gained a new level of respect for people who TTC for months/years. I’m sure you’re miracle is going to happen! 💖

@Danani I think the swimmers are suppose to get where they should be within seconds so I don’t think showering afterwards does any harm 😊 I’ll put the emphasis on DTD 2 days before and the day of the O, though we will see how good my OPK readings will be. Last cycle they were rubbish, I got high readings for two days with no surge and then they were negative. I ordered some new ones.

Fingers crossed ladies, I’ve got good feeling about October. Let’s try not to stress, I know it’s hard but stress hormones really impact our bodies. For example I sleep less and get eczema, which surely doesn’t encourage my body to implement the egg.

Have a lovely weekend 🌸

Joining again (took a break from posting for a few months).

Trying since feb 😪 Af due next weds but I'll do a test tomorrow. We have a fertility app in October. Just hoping I'll be that dream story of cancelling my fertility app cos I'm pregnant.

Wishing everyone luck 🍀 and bfns xx

Oh dear, yeah the water intake - my DH could live only on coffee and pop! Since we’re together he got better, but only drinks flavoured water, which is very hard to find in the shops lately😹

And he’s the one who’s teasing me about having a child and what we would call him (though I’m convinced I’d be having a girl) , but when it comes to the strategic part of it he wants to stay clueless. I’d be fine with it if we’d DTD every other day after the AF but there’s no way this is going to happen 🙄

I’m just hoping he won’t be too stressed with work during “our” week.
