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. 🤞

@tryingforbabyh yes I am using strip tests, this is my first month. I havent tested today so just taking it as thats me ovulated and now in my tww. The longest 2 weeks ever!!

@Glago2017 are you using the strip tests? I am using the cb advanced but confirming on the strips so I got my Cb static face today so I will stop using that now (the reader won't work for 48 hours now anyway) I have confirmed the surge I think on my strip test but will probably do another tomorrow to make sure and then stop...no idea if that's right though!!

@Glago2017 I think if you've had your peak, there's no point in continuing to test as it won't show anything. So that means you're in the 2WW now!

Glago2017 · 01/11/2021 18:51

@rachipops I'm 3 dpo no symptoms and trying not to think about it to much (easier said than done) hope you get good news month, even if its a little earlier than expected 🙈

Hey guys, can I join in? I'm 4/5DPO and in the depths of 2WW anxiety, boredom and clock watching. Trying to hold off testing until next Monday.

I had my first pregnancy in Jan 2020, and misscarried in Feb 2020. My partner and I are actively going TTC in the New Year. But we slipped up this month and DTD unprotected a couple of days before ovulation.

Would love to hear if anyone else is in the same boat and has symptoms? I'm getting frequent dizzy spells, tiredness and cramps on my left side.. but still early days.

Glago2017 · 01/11/2021 17:03

@isabelherna sounds like u have had a rough time. Hopefully not to much longer for you. 🤞

Can I ask a question to anyone who uses/ has used OPK's? I had EWCM on Wednesday and got my peak on Friday. As this is my first month using them should I continue to use them daily to see how my body works or take it as thats me ovulated and not much point continuing? X

@Bundaberg84 I hope you don't have another one lovely mine traumatised me never felt fear like it I was walking round with a ticking time bomb twice.. i am feeling rough today cramps and dry mouth it kinda feels like my period is coming dull ache I had the worst stabbing pains last night on my right side I think I am 1dpo now if I go by my pee stick positive but who actually really knows this 2WW will kill me xx

IsabelHerna · 01/11/2021 14:07

@Glago2017 I feel like I've been waiting forever. Something serious came up in August, and since then I'm waiting to be cleared by my nephrologist and the cardiologist in order to go on with my ivf. It's not a lot, it's just that I was already waiting beforehand, doing fertility tests, and finding clinics, and actually making the decision to start ivf.

Bundaberg84 · 01/11/2021 12:46

@Sweetbabydust1989 I can't imagine! They had to remove my right tube, so a second ectopic would probably result in no tubes left, so I really hope that doesn't happen :)

@mamakitz yay another cycle buddy!

mamakitz · 31/10/2021 23:07

@Bundaberg84

Hi everyone I'd like to join if I can!🤞 *@Glago2017* I'm also 1dpo today. Had a surprise peak at Friday (didn't expect before Sunday), managed to sneak a DTD in on Friday and also today. And prior to that on Tuesday, I hope Iwe covered our bases 🙈

@Sweetbabydust1989 I had an ectopic in July as well. Can't imagine going through it twice! You're strong! I hope it's your lucky month now!

Good luck to all of you!!🎉

Also 1dpo! Good luck everyone Smile
Sweetbabydust1989 · 31/10/2021 22:16

@Bundaberg84 oh it was awful I had to wait until October to ttc again as I had a lap & dye with hysterscopy done came back totally clear even both my tubes had a good fill and spill couldn't believe it. I am hoping the jet wash of my tubes etc has done the trick not sure I could handle a third ectopic this year I am just looking positive xx

@Sweetbabydust1989 yeah this is the first time I've paid too much attention to it tbf I don't get any ovulation cramps so who knows. We have DTD now on day 5,6,10,11&12 and hoping to get day 14,16&18 in too - this TTCing is exhausting lol

Sweetbabydust1989 · 31/10/2021 21:01

@tryingforbabyh my cm was strange this month I got stretchy clear cm on Friday then got a peak Last night but I am not sure if I have had anything since no idea if I ovulated last night which would of been cycle day 12 I hate trying to work my cm out I go most likely by cramps as I have had them non stop for a few days x

mightbeyesmightbeno · 31/10/2021 20:57

Hi everyone, joining as in a similar boat to some - TTC#2, first month, currently CD9 so full steam ahead! We were ready (me more so I guess) in about May time and then a few things (life) got in the way and we put it on the back burner. Now this month seems to be the month when we're both ready for it. Will use OPKs as would love to fall quickly - I feel like I've been mentally preparing for 6 months now!

tryingforbabyh · 31/10/2021 20:41

Has anyone found a gap between their ewcm and their peak OPK? I had ewcm on day 10, 11 and 12 (and DTD on all of those days) but my OPK was and still is at "low" although I have got the flashing face of "high fertility" on the clear blue advanced opk test
Thanks!

CD12, anyone else hoping November is their month
Sweetbabydust1989 · 31/10/2021 19:58

@brightwhite I hope so I am shattered and he is too 😂 I do my ovulation tests twice once I get my flashing smiley one with fmu and then the other early evening I got my peak early evening last night so glad I tested.. we seem to be on the same sort of cycle time so should be finding out if it's good news or bad news soon xx

brightwhite · 31/10/2021 19:47

@Sweetbabydust1989 sounds like you've done enough 🤞🏼

I'm on cd 12 and hit my peak today. We've done 8 and 12 so far.
Sometimes my peak will last 2-3 days though so if I can manage before work in the morning when Lo's dropped off I might go in again lol 😂

I do my opk after 3pm as the later it is it seems the truer the reading (after so long I feel quite knowledgeable!)

Sweetbabydust1989 · 31/10/2021 10:53

@Glago2017 thanks lovely I think we have done enough baby dance to last a month 😂 x

Glago2017 · 31/10/2021 10:39

@sweetbabydust1989 finger crossed for you 🤞🤞

Sweetbabydust1989 · 31/10/2021 10:10

I got my peak last night was so excited done the baby dance hoping I have done enough in this cycle we have DTD on cycle days 5,6,8,10&13 I technically got my peak on day 12 but we didn't baby dance until early hours as we were watching films together lucky I tested twice or I wouldn't of picked my peak up until this morning xx

Glago2017 · 30/10/2021 22:21

Welcome @tryingforbabyh sounds like u have got things covered 🤣 yes apparently sperm can live up to 5 days inside you.

@brightwhite hopefully not much longer and you get your bnp 🤞

brightwhite · 30/10/2021 21:49

Hi, I'm similar to some of you.
I'm 41 with a 4 year old and been trying for over a year now with no luck.
5 years ago we got pregnant first try and we didn't start trying til just over a year ago thinking it would happen first try...

tryingforbabyh · 30/10/2021 20:47

Can I join?! CD12 here too TTC baby number 1 and this is cycle 13 - feels like it's never going to happen. I'm 30, healthy if slightly overweight (still size 12) with regular cycles of 26-28 days. I have had high fertility on CB advanced OPKs since Thursday and have so far have managed Thursday, Friday and today. I'm predicted to O on Tuesday (CD15) but I'm usually anything between CD14 and 16 - could do with it being 16 this month as OH is away tomorrow and potentially (but hopefully not) Monday...it would be good to get at least 1 or 2 more tries in...can sperm really survive inside me for 5 days?!

Sweetbabydust1989 · 30/10/2021 20:16

@Glago2017 iam the Same we don't DTD much as we are like passing ships he works days I work evenings so makes it difficult.. I have 2 children already eldest 10 and youngest 8 so this is secondary infertility.. I am just scared incase this one gets stuck in my tube again I have never felt fear like this ever it's such a long place 😭 I am hoping the jet wash helped me out.. I am jumping on him tonight 😂 xx
