I’m almost 100% convinced I’m out now!

Really really hoping a December baby is the one. Anyone else?

I’m on CD11 - opks very low. I had a reading of 0.23 this morning and then this evening it’s 0.12…any clue what that means? Thought it would be higher tonight 😬

I also can’t be bothered to DTD either 😩

I can't really to be bothered either so I'm not too upset about the low reading. So 2 days into my fertile week and feeling very infertile šŸ˜‚

I recovered ok from the covid bar a trip to a@e on the advice of an over cautious gp but back at work now.

I’m so sorry to hear that, you’ve had a lot going on.

Hey, maybe your body needs a month to chill before becoming super fertile again :)

Can’t really be bothered tbh but I know I’ll regret not trying this month.
Monday tomorrow hoping we all have a good week!

How are you feeling @MrsGrealish?

Cd 8 here so technically in fertile week but dh is unwell as is ds so don’t feel like we’ll be getting much time to DTD. My clear blue opk keep reading errors (think as I only do a few per month so have reused the digital test too much maybe). The strip ones are funny for me but looked negative.

Hi, hope all is going well with everyone. CD12 here and though I said I wasn't doing any OPKs this month did one just there with a very low result. Think I'll not be ovulating or ovulating really late this month.

@BiscuitLover3678 are you doing any OPKs this month? Anyone ovulating soon?

Welcome to all the newbies ā¤ļø

BiscuitLover3678 · 06/03/2022 13:56

When will everyone be testing?

OP posts:
BiscuitLover3678 · 05/03/2022 09:33

Good luck everyone!

I wonder if il ovulate earlier as such a short period?

Hi all,
Joining this month.
Currently CD9 - TTC #2 - month 4 of trying (I think)
AF was 6 days late in Feb and arrived on my birthday, along with a positive covid test šŸ™ˆšŸ‘ŽšŸ»
Finally ordered some OPK’s so I’ll be doing them these month.
Hope this is everyone’s month ā˜ŗļø

Nyxxie · 04/03/2022 20:45

Moving over from the November thread as AF turned up early today. Only 9DPO so was thinking it was an implantation bleed but no such luck šŸ˜”

[quote Running365]@Presently83 also wish I knew how to stay calm. Sorry to hear it's not been straightforward for you and about your loss last year.

We conceived DS1 and DS2 second and first months trying, TTC again now (after DS2 sadly died in NICU at 3 days) but it didn't happen first cycle last month so now I'm convinced there's something wrong with me/my insides were pulled apart during a very aggressive emergency c section to try and get the baby out alive.

Cycle day 3 now after crying for the last 72 hours, I was obviously completely convinced I was pregnant for the last 2 weeks.

Bring on baby making for December due dates šŸ™[/quote]
I’m so so sorry about your second baby SadFlowers I hope this month works for you

@Presently83 I don’t know how to stay calm!

@BiscuitLover3678 I am due to ovulate next week, I feel that these past few months have been so educational as before trying I didn’t realise how small a window it was to conceive.

How is everyone tracking? I use a couple of apps and clear blue ovulation tests with the smiley faces.

Presently83 · 04/03/2022 16:38

Hi all,

Hoping I can join in, and that this is our month. TTC#1, my first pregnancy - conceived first month of trying - ended in a MMC at 11 weeks in October while we were on holiday. Horrific. Now we've been trying 4 months and nothing so I'm feeling pretty disheartened by it all, particularly because I've just turned 39.

AF arrived today, which launched me into a complete tailspin about time running out!

How do you guys stay calm and not obsess about TTC? I feel like it's taking over my damn LIFE. GAH!

Holly3 · 04/03/2022 16:21

@BiscuitLover3678 I'm due to ovulate in the next few days šŸ¤žšŸ¼

BiscuitLover3678 · 04/03/2022 16:12

Hello newcomers

Anyone ovulating soon?

OP posts:
MrsN3 · 02/03/2022 21:20

Can I join this? Wanted to join the November one but AF arrived instead.

TTC our first baby (started trying November and I caught Covid, then December had covid jab and January AF was late by a week and then early February AF was extremely light and a few days early!)
Thankfully AF has arrived bang on time so far so hoping this could be the month for a little December baby! Wishing everyone luck!

Charl881 · 02/03/2022 21:04

@BiscuitLover3678 yeah I keep thinking about not using OPKs but then part of me thinks if I don’t and I don’t get pregnant this cycle I’ll kick myself

Bubblesandballoons · 02/03/2022 20:21

Hey, how’s everyone doing? I’m also trying for no 2. Cd 5 for me and bleeding pretty much tapered off, so hoping for a more normal cycle this month šŸ¤žšŸ». Considering taking baby aspirin this month, is anyone else on it?

BiscuitLover3678 · 02/03/2022 13:17

To be fair most people I know said it took a while with the second so made me feel better.
I wonder if I’ll ovulate earlier this month after such a short period. Sort of can’t be bothered with opks but if it doesn’t work this month the due dates for the next few are pretty rubbish so it would be nice!

OP posts:
Charl881 · 02/03/2022 09:53

@Chanel05 my DS took a full year. But I had a chemical last year when I wasn’t even trying and only DTD once all cycle, so I naively thought it would be easy once we actually started trying!

Chanel05 · 02/03/2022 09:42

@Charl881 my previous two pregnancies were conceived on cycle 8 each so I think I was being naive if it would happen earlier šŸ˜‚.

mgdj · 02/03/2022 08:27

Yes I keep hearing that people conceived on their first go. So hard to hear when it hasn’t happened like that for you. We’ll get that BFP soon šŸ¤žšŸ¼

Charl881 · 01/03/2022 20:55

It’s so reassuring for me to see there are a few of us TTC #2 who can haven’t conceived straight away! I sometimes feel like it’s all the other mums I know got pregnant straight away with their second.
