Preparing to TTC in 2022

@Tropicana1 @Theawkwardblonde I ended up buying a 2 pack, but I definitely won't be using it until Monday.

When I got pg with DS, I managed to wait until the evening of 3 days late to test, it's only because of this appointment that I'd be checking earlier!

@Summerbreeze111 I'm just cranky and sore boobs too but that's standard for this point in the cycle. When I fell pregnant with my daughter I had zero symptoms but with my miscarriages I did. Finding it hard to not be obsessing already over every niggling ache etc! How are you feeling? What cycle is this for you?

@hevann holiday sounds lovely! We're away in two days so I'll know whilst away as AF is due to hit also bang in the middle of it.

@HeathenPlayingHouse deffo get a frer but as PO said, wait until Sunday

@HeathenPlayingHouse I would def test with an FRER Before your appointment on Monday, could wait to use it until Sunday for the most accurate result possible

Thanks ladies, I'll let you know what happens. I'm probably overthinking it, but I'm wondering if I should pick up a FRER on my lunch break just in case?

Only because the only HPT I have at home is basically a cheapie, my appointment on Monday may involve an internal check or even hysteroscopy/biopsy, and at that point I'd be 13DPO so I should have an accurate result at that point.

What do you think?

I am 6dpo so sharing the tww wait!
I had sore boots this morning but I get them about a week before my period so nothing new there. How are you feeling?

*test not rest 🤣

@Theawkwardblonde I'm 3dpo now. Luckily I'm abroad at the mo so won't have the urge to rest until I'm home next week. We DTD 3 times this time so hopefully we're covered.

@lj2022 Im in Turkey at the minute & all I see is pregnant women round the pool 🙄 doesn't help my DH keeps picking them out for me 🤦🏻‍♀️

Eurgh I'm 7dpo..it's only our first month trying but in ajready fed you. I forgot how awful the TWW wait is. Do think I have some left over anxiety from first time we TTC too.

Who is sharing the TWW wait with me? Definitely feel AF is on the way as already have cramping and bloating.

@LucyLoopyLu haha we can try, I also guess you don't know for sure when you ovulate after the opk peak? So could even be today really! We will dtd tonight for sure anyway.

@LucyLoopyLu I am always wondering how much is enough times in the fertile window but as they say, it only takes that 1 sperm😆

sending you both baby dust!!

@HeathenPlayingHouse keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞 I hope the time goes quickly for you until you can test.

@Dreamingof3 so frustrating when you feel that sense of urgency isn't it! Hope you're doing OK. Can you do it once more today for luck? Although I think if you've DTD running up to Ov then you are probably covered.

I say this because we only did it twice in fertile window so I hope I am also covered 😄

@OCM19 @lj2022 I really agree and feel you! This month I’m 12dpo and taken tests each morning since 10dpo and all my AF signs are here so I now know I’m out! So just eagerly waiting for AF so I’m back in the two weeks I can control!

I do keep thinking it’ll be the month that I decide to forget about it that it’ll happen but I also don’t see me forgetting about it! I ovulate anywhere between CD12 to CD16 so I feel if I don’t test I’ll miscalculate my window!

@PinkButtercups thank you! I’m on pre-conception tablets which gives me the folic acid but I might try the pineapple this month!

@PinkButtercups congratulations how exciting ❤️

@OCM19 I feel exactly the same way, people tell me not to stress but those people generally are people who fell pregnant straight away or by accident and don't understand that helpless TWW feeling. I'm 6dpo so I only have 3 days until AF is due but just want to know now if I'm out. Fingers crossed AF doesn't show for you

@HeathenPlayingHouse fingers crossed it’s implantation bleeding.

I'm 10dpo today, feels like af is on her way. I’ve been very emotional this morning, but think that’s because I’m so fed up with my DS waking up at 5am and I’m shattered! I just hate this not knowing phase, I’m fine up to ovulations as I feel you can control that part of the cycle somewhat by actively trying, but the TWW is so dam hard!

How’s everyone else doing?

Oh my god @PinkButtercups that's amazing congratulations! I won't lie, the idea of twins terrifies me 😅

@WingingIt09 I'll definitely be getting some of those tests in!

So yesterday should have been ovulation day....my oh came to bed and said he'd eaten too much to dtd 😑 so I don't know if tonight will be too late? If so that leaves us with just the once on Monday to cover us, not looking very good for our first month 😒

I ate pineapple and took folic acid a month before. Conceived first time with DS and did nothing. 3 cycles with the Twins

Congratulations @PinkButtercups!

Bit random but I had a tiny amount of red spotting this morning- literally just a wipe and it's gone now.

I don't think it's anything of note really, but it would be interesting if anything does come of it since Period Tracker app (and previous O symptoms) says I would be around 8DPO now 🤔

Congratulations! what a lovely surprise!

For all you ones who got BFP’s… was there anything differently you did the cycle of your positive or was it just the same as any other cycle?

with my AF due I’m trying to get prepared for my next cycle! I usually OPK test but I just wait for my peak and stop so not sure if I should test it out and not sure if I should BBT too?

I'm 8+7 today. Both measuring on track, touch wood x

Thank you everyone!

No my symptoms wouldn't make you think twins at all!

@PinkButtercups that is amazing news! Huge congratulations! Xx

Wow @PinkButtercups congratulations!!

@PinkButtercups wow congratulations!!!!
