TTC starting now

We are now also trying. We wanted to wait another year, but due to a Mirena coil mishap (it came out?!?), we're starting now.

Welcome to all our new joiners! So my AF arrived today! Usually I’d be a weeping willow at this point but I am absolutely buzzing as I start the clomid tomorrow! I have a scan next Friday to check I’m not producing too many eggs...knowing my luck I probably will be and end up being the next Octo mum

Going to purchase a clear blue ovulation tracker today as want to know the clomid is actually doing the job it’s designed for and working for me!

@tryingtobeamama @springseason22

Welcome, crossing fingers for you both!

Ill join you all.

Trying to conceive baby number 2 also.

It's only been 2 months but I had hot flush 3 days after my supposed fertile window.

Got my period today 16 November. I'm around 25 days average. Could my ovulation time moved ?

Anyway fingers crossed all.

I am on my second month TTC. I mean, I had withdrawal bleeding street away followed by a normal period and I think I ovulated, but it obviously wasn't our month.

This time around I started temping and used preseed. I think that that I ovulated Saturday according to my temps....DTD two days in a row by peak and both my peak days and the day after. I think we have covered every possible avenue, but I really don't want to get my hopes up.

I think I should be 2 dpo...I am not testing until she's late (pray that she is late.)

@Beth262, I’m sure he thinks he is hilarious 😂

Welcome @Glago2017

Hi can I join please? I'm ttc #2. Last month was my first month of ttc but AF got me. 😩 used opk's for the first time as my periods can be irregular so was good to see when I ovulated.
I already have a DD who is 4 in 2 weeks. We didn't really ttc with her tho it was kind of not take precautions and see how it goes. 🤣
Hopefully there will be lots of BNP's soon. 🤞 x

@Beck3115 I can totally sympathise with you already stressing about it happening again. Fingers crossed for a textbook pregnancy for you.

@Dann186 My OH is just over 10 years younger than me. He winds me up about the age gap more than anyone. His favorite line is 'I was 8 when you were on your first girls holiday abroad' or whatever else he can think of to make me feel old! Love him though. Most of the time

I can’t watch it freaks me out too much! Ignorance is bliss as far as I’m concerned with that 😂😂😂

Yay thank you @Dann186
I can’t believe just how obsessive I’ve become of counting down days to period. Lovely to share the journey with you all x

@redxlondon I also have PCO so you have someone in the same boat as you on here! But the smiley face is a terrific sign so fingers crossed for you this month 🤞

Interesting to hear the tales of less than ideal pregnancies. I also had bleeding throughout the first trimester with DD then sporadic spotting after that. I also had intense, constant Braxton Hicks... I would have a hundred or more in a day. I think they call it irritable uterus, though not sure if that is really a medical term. I was told by various midwives that it was nothing to worry about, but somehow I still wasn't too surprised when DD was born at 33 weeks!

I think if and when I conceive again I'll ask for consultant led care (actually I think you are automatically referred if you previously had a premature birth?). Midwife led is great for uncomplicated pregnancies but I guess I consider myself high risk now. I know there are things they can give to stop early contractions and I can't help but wonder if DD might have hung on a few more weeks of I'd been given those.

But that's kind of a tangent from Mr, sorry! Something to talk about when we're all together on the pregnancy board

@Beth262 haha tell me more

Hey, just (properly) started TTC this month (literally a week ago!). Talked with husband that we’d stop using contraception last month and just see what happened, we weren’t sure if we really wanted kids. When my period arrived last month we were both a mix of incredibly relieved and really sad. The sadness has stuck with me me so this month I used the CB ovulation sticks. And we DTD around the flashing smiley and steady smiley….so let’s see.
I am 33 and have PCO, but all blood work looked generally okay. And the fact I got the static smiley is hopefully a good signs. Oh, but one other complication is my bicornuate, was looking almost didephys, uterus. So could be a journey…

@Dann186 Don't knock being a cougar! I'm in that club too

@Beck3115 He's just coming up to 2. Not the most straightforward pregnancy though... bleeding on and off throughout (so lots of stress and scans!) and then he made a surprise appearance at 30 weeks. He's thriving though thankfully.

Your partner sounds like he's going to make a great dad

I meant relaxing...really should proof read my messages...doh

@Beck3115 I am 9 years old than mine...cougar alert! Not doing myself any favours here really am I haha! I have been trying to be super healthy also as I have not been eating great! I think my philosophy was I knew it wasn’t going to happen before I got my script for the drs so I just kinda enjoyed being a fatty for a while

@LH1987 it is easily done when we want something so much, us ladies can become quite obsessive over these things, they say reaping is super helpful but that is waaaaay easier said than done!

Let’s hope my AF arrives tomorrow and then we can finally get this show on the road!! Good luck with your journeys ladies! Looking forward to seeing how you progress along the way and here’s hoping for our BFP’s sooner rather than later!!

For now I’ll just enjoy it and see how we get on. It is nice how many of you have replied ❤️

It's nice that you started the thread! It can be intimidating going into a big established group so feel glad to have some folks who are also newly TTC
