Hi all

Currently now in my tww, ttc #1!!

Very nervous this time around as we’ve made a definite effort this month to conceive so really hoping this is our month.

Anybody like to join me?

Hi @weliveinharmony from what I can make out I ovulated Sunday, or at least I hope I did!

I don’t dare test early as I just end up angry that I didn’t get the result I wanted😂 and my last two cycle af has been a couple of days late so that throws me off! I think this time I will probably wait until I’m at least 3 days late because I’m never that late😂

Fingers crossed for you, keep us updated would love to hear the outcome x

I'm in! Think I ovulated Saturday/Sunday. We're trying to conceive baby no 2 and this is cycle 2. Baby 1 took 2 cycles.
I haven't used ovulation sticks or anything this month but we did have sex 6 days in a row so hopefully that helped!?

I'm thinking of testing next Saturday.. seems so far away!!
Sending you all baby dust xx

@Tjsmjs I get what you mean, my bestfriend had her third unplanned baby in September, this is her third in under 6 years and I can’t help but feel really annoyed by it… I’m obviously very happy for her, but I’ve definitely found it harder with her having her third (we weren’t trying when she had her 1 or second so I never really got annoyed by it) but her having a third that she definitely was not ready for nor did she really want has really hit a nerve with me.

But I love them all very much and have an amazing relationship with her children, they’re like my little best friends, I also get to give them back so I’m enjoying that for now haha x

Hi yes it can be a horrible wait. I’m trying not to symptom spot. I’m not sure this will be our month even though we hit the fertile week. Previously we’ve done it every other day during my fertile week and the 3 days following my peak OPK. I’ve been on nights and long days with work which always leaves me exhausted so we only did it three times during my whole fertile week. My role is changing next month though and my days will be fixed apart from the odd on call every other month so hoping I will feel more like trying then. Iron deficiency can leave you feeling exhausted.

Yes I know what you mean about announcements. One of my friends recently found out she is having baby number 2. They weren’t trying and she is actually wanted a bigger gap. I know they have their own worries about having another so soon and I’m am being supportive but it is hard when I do feel jealous at the same time.

Hope your cycles sort themselves out soon.

Baby dust to you to. X

Hi @Tjsmjs it’s such a painful wait isn’t it!

Usually me and dh don’t bd too much as we’re always very tired, he’s up pretty early and I’m just always knackered (iron deficiency kills me off every now and again!) but this month we’ve made such an effort this time around.

I find it so much harder also seeing other peoples announcements (although I’m very happy it’s happened for people who have also wanted it for so long)

My luteal phase is pretty standard, usually around 10/11 days but my periods have changed since having covid vaccines, can be anywhere from 24-29 days! My most recent two being 29 days so hopefully that’s them straightening themselves out!🤞🏼

Sending baby dust your way!🤞🏼x

Hi I’m 2dpo. Trying to conceive number 2. Took 4 months with DS1. Been trying since July. My cycles have shortened since having DS, used by 26/27 days now 24/25 and I think I have a short luteal phase. As DH works away a lot it is often hit or miss if we hit my fertile window but this month we definitely did so hoping for a positive this month. I’ve added in coenzyme q10 this month to see if I can lengthen my luteal phase.
