Hi guys! So I'm starting this thread because this is my first month ttc number baby 4 😊 my youngest is 6 so it's been a while! I'm 33 so that's another factor is age. I am currently on my predicted ovulation day with a af date of 5th jan 2022. Babydust to all ❤️

@Dreamer30 @Itsme101 @Mollie5

Baby dust To us all!
It's so nerve wracking isn't it! I'm trying not to get my hopes up as it's our first month trying.. I have pregnancy tests at the ready but no ov tests 🙈 but I felt I ovulated as I had the pains.
What date is everyone testing? Are you testing before af? Or waiting to see if the witch shows up?

@ambi88 I think I'll be having a wee drink at xmas lol not sure about new year.
@itsme101 good luck 😊
@mollie5 stress can sometimes throw off your cycle but if you've already ovulated then that good! Try relax over xmas if you can

Hiya, 31 here with an 18 month old. This is my first month TTC, ovulation date was 21/12. I've been feeling very stressed with work these last few days so Im worried that might impact my chances this month.

1st month really trying ovulation sticks at the ready pre pregnancy vitamins being taken

I am 30 with a 5 year old

Good luck

It is a comfort but since then Iv gotten older put on weight etc so I'm worried it won't be easy to concieve.. I thought I was done having baby's but I'd love a little sibling for our daughter fingers crossed! Oh I know I'm 1 day past ovulation so just entering my 2ww and it's going to drag 😑 I don't know wether to have a little drink this Xmas or New Years 😅

Sorry to hear that you've also experienced it, it's painful both physically and emotionally. It must be a comfort knowing you can still conceive just the same with one tube 😊 my daughter is 12yo so it's a huge age gap lol but I definitely want more children as does my partner and we're excited. I'm just not excited about the tww lol seems the longest 2 weeks ever!

@Dreamer30 hey I'm sorry it's been rough for you. I had an ectopic and tubal removal so I know the pain. I had my daughter a year after that and that was 7 years ago now so I'm nervous to be ttc again! Be nice to share the journey x

Can I join?
31 and this is our first month ttc after a MC in May and a eptopic in June. Had a rough year but me and my OH are ready to try again :)
My predicted OD is 24th with Flo and 25th with FF lol so I'm a couple of days behind you
