Hi, I am on CD12 and really hoping Novemeber is my month. Anyone care to join me on this ttc journey? Its nice to talk to people who are in the same situation.

This will be mine and my husbands second child (DH is nearly 4) my periods have been really irregular so started using OPK's for the first time this month. Not had my peak yet but hopefully soon. 🤞

@brightwhite

Well I've got the biggest most sensitive nipples today- even the water from the shower was painful... not reading into it though as this happened about 7 months ago and I got all excited. Although I saw 4 magpies this morning and thought it was a sign 😂

Has anyone changed their diet while ttc?
Im slightly overweight (for me) and I could do with eating a better choice of foods but I talk the talk really well!

I've had very sensitive boobs today too... I don't usually get this, also a bit of lower back pain and tummy twinges but I think I'm just symptom obsessing! lol

Anyone else going to test early next week?

@Glago2017 oh definitely I can't get excited at all though I keep picking up niggles thinking the worst. Hopefully we all get some good news I keep feeling like AF is on her way xx

Glago2017 · 04/11/2021 16:21

@sweetbabydust1989 sounds very promising!! Fingers crossed for us all. 🤞 x

@Glago2017 oh a to add I have the worst dry mouth going it's doing my head in lol xx

Sweetbabydust1989 · 04/11/2021 16:02

@Glago2017 I am actually quite good had loads of on/off cramps the odd pinching pain, legs hurt a bit and some flutters which I think is trapped wind I did have some pain in my right neck that went down to my shoulder and arm but I think that's to do with stress as we seem to carry stress on our shoulders.. I no tell me about it the earliest I can test is next Thursday but I might leave it until longer xx

Glago2017 · 04/11/2021 14:52

@brightwhite I'm going to hold off as long as I can. If I don't get my AF by a week on Sunday I will test. I will be 16dpo by then but have irregular cycles so we will see.

@ok92 its so hard, I'm sure you will ovulate soon.

@sweetbabydust1989 I think I'm 6dpo today and no symptoms at all 😩 I've had sore boobs on and off the last few days but that is normal at this stage in my cycle. This week seems to be dragging in! How u getting on? X

How's everyone's 2WW going?? I am on 4dpo well at least I think I am xx

OK92 · 04/11/2021 13:32

@Glago2017 thanks! It's strange as my results vary through the day so I can get a seemingly strong positive on a OPK strip sometimes then just a faint line at other times on the same day. This has been happening since CD8 now through to CD17 😒 so I can't really measure progress as it jumps around so much. Hope it's nothing to worry about - I ovulated as normal last month. I'll just keep testing daily and DTD as much as we can manage...and hope I ovulate soon.

MamaKitz · 03/11/2021 22:16

I am going to try wait until 10dpo (I may struggle)! Felt very twingey today (4dpo), but think I'm just obsessing!

Rachipops · 03/11/2021 22:06

I'll not be testing until 9/10DPO.. which works out as not this weekend but next.

Hopefully I can hold off! Don't want to fall down a testing rabbit hole! I have premon strip tests here, but saving my FRER tests until then.

brightwhite · 03/11/2021 21:59

Who will be first to test?
Does everyone test early?
I try to hold off til a day or 2 before I'm due af. I've spent a small fortune on the early response tests and after this long I'm just back on the cheap tests!

I had a 3 day peak again this month 🤷🏻‍♀️ am classing today as 1dpo so it's a long 2 weeks for me!

Rachipops · 03/11/2021 19:24

@galgo2017 ahh it's a long story. But your right. Still in the game.

Pretty much, I had been tracking at the start of the year just to learn a bit more about my cycle, BBT and OTKs. But the red day and green day thing took out the spark for our six life. So I decided to stop and try the pill again. But the pill made me so ill I stopped that after a couple of weeks too. At this point we were still not having sex.... for no other reason than we were just in a rut and I just never brought it up again to my partner.

A couple of weekends ago we chatted about starting a family and decided the new year. The next morning, for the first time in about 6 months he initiated and we DTD (unprotected). So I hadn't been tracking!

But from that day onwards I started the Premom LH test strips again, and they were getting fainter everyday.. which made me think I had just missed my ovulation.

Over the last couple of days I've been looking back at my charts from the start of the year and figured it out. I religiously ovulated on CD25.

We DTD yesterday, so still in the game. Its just this wait is killing me.

But even with all the above.. who knows? Gods plan etc. Maybe I did ovulate. Hopefully will get a positive LH tomorrow or Friday.

Out back story is that we had a surprise pregnancy in Jan 2020 but I miscarried in Feb 2020. We weren't ready back then, but it still obviously hurt. Fast forward to today, we have our own home and a gorgeous puppy.

Also.. Galgo? Do you have have a gorgeous sighthound? 😍 I have a whippet pup!

Sorry.. so longgg and TMI haha

Glago2017 · 03/11/2021 19:03

@rachipops at least u haven't missed it. R u using opks to track? Y did u think u had ovulated?

Not feeling good today. I miss calculated my cycle. I ovulate on CD25 and I'm only on CD22 at the moment, so I'm not even in the 2ww yet! I was preparing to test on Monday.

We DTD this morning, so still hopeful to catch this cycle but just fed up with waiting.

I ordered an Indian and treating myself to an early night.

How is everyone else?

Glago2017 · 03/11/2021 17:51

@ok92 this was my first month doing OPK's. I tested around 3pm everyday and when I saw an increase I started doing twice a day (10:30am and 3pm) I have no idea if this is right. 💁‍♀️ i ovulated on CD17 using the strip tests and DTD on CD11, CD13 CD15 and CD17. After that I we were tired so didn't do anymore altho wish I had. Who knows it's now a waiting game.
Hopefully u ovulate soon.

@Glago2017 I am now on CD16 and no sign of ovulation yet 😞 I'm using the clearblue smiley tests and also just OPK strips. I'm doing them multiple times a day wondering if there's a best time! How is everyone else?

Glago2017 · 03/11/2021 16:04

How is everyone feeling today?

@Glago2017 Thank you and good luck in the 2ww!

Sweetbabydust1989 · 03/11/2021 11:17

@Glago2017 oh I am the same 😂 I don't feel anything now cramps have gone and I feel back to normal not sure if that's a good or bad sign I am going to say 3 DPO well at least I think so as I got a positive opk on Saturday so counting Sunday as ovulation day xx

MamaKitz · 03/11/2021 10:44

@Bundaberg84 how are you now? Any symptoms? When are you planning on testing? I might test on Monday/Tuesday (if I can last that long)!

Glago2017 · 02/11/2021 22:19

Tww is the longest! 🤣 it's so hard not to symptom spot but I am trying not to read to much into anything (I say as I Google search or search for threads on here) 🤣
