Preparing to TTC in 2022

@Dreamingof3 Not sure when I ovulated as I wasn't tracking but 19 days after the 1 time we DTD and CD31.

@Bear486 congratulations!

@dollface22 im taking the seven seas breastfeeding vitamins. I’m still feeding my dd but I’m pretty sure it’s got all the same stuff as the ttc ones including folic acid. Just much more expensive 😅

@dearhummingbirds CD10 for me. Not long to go until trying again!

@DanceWithYourBalloon oooh let’s see the test? Fingers crossed it’s a positive for you!

@DanceWithYourBalloon Yay! Let's have a look! 🤞

@keeponsmiling2019 🤞for you. Do you know how many dpo you are?

@Brightonbelle87 Thank you lovely. I'm not sure how long the break will last (I keep getting mild spotting on and off), but I'll enjoy it for now.

Ooh show us @DanceWithYourBalloon

So confused. Bfn today. All the symptoms. I'm either having a long cycle which I've never had and will get AF or I'm pregnant and it's no showing yet... or the spotting I had on CD15 was a period and I'm in my new cycle... who knows 😞

@Dancewithyourballoon ooh good luck!

@DanceWithYourBalloon oh fingers crossed for you 🤞 any symptoms?

9dpo and I think I have a squinter of a line on my test this morning if anyone wants a look.
I'm not even going to get excited until I do another test in a few days though! 🤞🏻

@dollface22
I take a multivitamin normally anyway, but have got some folic acid on the way as we’re getting close to the three months before TTC.
I’ve stepped up my exercise too and have been trying to lose a few pounds - I’m already a healthy weight, but put a few on over covid.

How are all of the May TTC-ers getting on so far?

@LemonZestDribbles 😂😂

@SarahShorty just wild I think 🤣 thankfully I was so tired I slept through it last night. Did wake up with a frog on my head though

@HeathenPlayingHouse that sounds the perfect way to take some control ❤

@LaVitesse2022 yas! Happy bd time 🥳🥳

@Dreamingof3 strange wishing af on someone on here 🤣🤣

Cd33 🥲 hoping it turns into cd1 later, send me some after vibes ladies...last time ill ask for that 🤣

Hi @dollface22 I am taking a pre-pregnancy multivitamin which includes vitamin D, foliate, a few other things I can't remember off the top of my head. Also taking a separate vitamin C since I caught covid but I don't usually as I eat plenty of fruit and veg so I think I will normally get enough.
I've also cut right back on caffeine and going to do the same with alcohol now I'm not going on holiday 🙃 I will probably have the odd drink here and there while TTC but only now and again rather than the full on indulgence I've had recently - although over Xmas, NY and on hol I have really let myself drink more thinking thinking might be (hopefully) the last few months I can for a long while!

@Brightonbelle87 those hormones are weird things! Hope you're feeling better now. Glad you had time to lie down for a while. I think it helps to remember how busy your body is and not feel guilty about having a rest when you need it!

@LemonZestDribbles thank you! Yes, starting straight away, it just so happens we had the conversation like 2 days ago and my NC app says I'm in "peak fertility" so let's go all in! (pun intended 😆 )

@dollface22 just started taking folic acid and trusting my regular diet and exercise takes care of the rest. Let's see how that goes

@HeathenPlayingHouse glad the bleeding has stopped, hopefully you'll have some time for your body and mind to recover. You've been through the wringer!

Had a bit of a wobble today, was working from home typing away but then got really tired and started feeling like a fat and lazy lump, had to lie down on the sofa to recover. I just felt so useless! Very weird, must be hormones.

@dollface22 I've been taking folic acid 5mg on prescription for about a year and an iron supplement from Holland and Barrett.

@LemonZestDribbles ahh the shape of things to come!

@dollface22 Pregnacare vitabiotics for him and her. Saw it recommended somewhere so just have it on a Subscribe and Save Amazon deal until we conceive 🙂

Thanks ladies for replies
I had LLetz surgery at 24 after abnormal cells and was told by the consultant that if I had to have anymore laser surgery I may not be able to conceive in the future.
Scared the crap out of me so I TTC and it took me 3 months to get pregnant at 27.
Now at 35 I'm scared of it being different! That it will take me longer.

Currently taking daily
Vitamin d
seven seas preconceive
Baby aspirin
And a multivitamin

What is everyone else taking ?

@LemonZestDribbles It definitely is a big help! It didn't manage to get me pregnant last time, but I felt so much better about myself- not because of the weight loss, but because it was something that I could control when everything else was going pear-shaped (pun intended ).

To be honest, between the constant bleeding, and feeling stressed from life in general, I've kinda felt like I've been losing myself. So I'm actually enjoying taking control of this one little bit again!

@LemonZestDribbles Yes! Hopefully this is the month, fingers and toes tightly crossed. Awww your DS sounds cute! Was he just restless or just wanting to play?

Hi all 🤗 just read through all the replies to catch up.

2nd month in a row I didn't get any EWCM so I'm wondering if I didn't actually ovulate. I guess having covid might have prevented ovulation this month, although it can't have affected the month before. Not getting my hopes up for this time anyway. AF due around the 15th so I am just concentrating on eating healthily, restarting running slowly, getting back on track after being on holiday/ having covid / holiday again.

Onwards and upwards 😊 hope everyone is OK

@lj2022 I keep thinking about oooh that could be a symptom and then needing to have a chat with myself about how there's nothing to spot at 2dpo 🤣🤣 I'm hoping that little spotting is a positive sign

@Brightonbelle87 I'm the same with knitting- too much math for me. Love a crafty evening

@LaVitesse7 welcome to the world of crazy!! Are you starting right away?

@HeathenPlayingHouse keto is so good for weightless - saw so many people get pregnant on it too

@SarahShorty yay for nearly ov day

My ds had me up between 2am and 4am hopping about his travel cot like a bunny and throwing his soft toys at me (I'm staying at my parents atm so he's in my room). Absolutely shattered today now

again* although against is probably valid if the headboard was shaking 😜😆
