Preparing to TTC in 2022

@anibendod sounds promising! If you can wait a couple of days for a test I would just so you're not second guessing lines! Keep us posted 🤞

@tryingtryinggone sorry AF arrived, hopefully she'll be short and get out of the way for you to try again.

@anibendod thank you! Sounds promising! One of the clear blue early ones might show? Fingers crossed!

congrats @Brightonbelle87 , sending lots of sticky dust your way.

so I'm now 11dpo. I've had sore boobs for the past few days. last night I had cramping and the tiniest amount of spotting and felt like I had bit hit by a WALL of exhaustion. Today, more exhaustion, spotting and cramping. I'm not due on until Saturday and have never noticed spotting more than 1 day before AF so I'm hoping that it could be implantation bleeding. Tempted to test...

Cycle 2 CD1 for me today. Gutted to see AF turn up today but not surprised as we only DTD once in my potential fertile period. I forgot how all-consuming TTC can be. Here’s to this cycle!

Ahh does that mean you've ovulated then? (Sorry not very knowledgeable on bbt 😅)

@Summerbreeze111 I've lost where I am a bit but probably ovulating mid/late may for our first cycle trying 🤩

Wow that list has really grown, this is so exciting!

I am waiting for my period to come (expecting around 10 days) and then were going to try and go with the flow and not use protection. My cycles are pretty regular already as I've been off the pill for a while! Holding off using OPKs because I think I will obsess and worry and knowing me i will delay it! I will just have to make sure we regularly baby dance 💃, I am sure DP won't complain! I don't even have any tests in the house either, dare I buy them in, or will it turn me into a possed woman constantly testing before my period is due 😵‍💫

Anyone else TTC in may due to ovulate mid May? I am probably jumping the gun as were still in April 🤣

Perhaps we can start another thread too for those who have successfully conceived? (Unless there already is one!) Looking forward to seeing the group getting their positive preggars tests!

@WingingIt09 what does a rise mine? Last day is much better!

I've still not got peak or anywhere near on my tests so going to assume I've missed it this month or it'll drive me mad I think!

@LemonZestDribbles i would take it as You’ll see a clear rise after ovulation anyway. Might just have to rely on eyes not app algorithm if you see what I mean? 🤞

@Brightonbelle87 a new year baby will be exciting!! Might get yourself on the local news!

I meant to track my bbt this month but I forgot to take my thermometer with me. I'm home now and cd10. Is it too late to start tomorrow (cd11)? Expected ovulation is May 1st

Congratulations @Brightonbelle87 all my fingers crossed for you!

@Brightonbelle87 I hope not or I'll never hear the end of it 🤣

Sorry for the repeat postings, the website crashed and said it hadn't posted so I posted it again!

@Dreamingof3 hope you don't get it! Could it be food poisoning?

Thank you everyone! Fingers crossed this one's a keeper. @WingingIt09 the due date calculator says 1-2 January so it'll be a new year baby! It's really nice to be able to post on here and go through all the questions together!

@lj2022 we'd been trying since December this time but last year it took about 7 months. I was thinking of going to the Dr's but I'm 35 so the advice is to keep trying for a year at least. Last month the opk stick was faint but we did the -ahem - 'filling up' for a few days before the peak, then during and a few days after. My logic was that there'd be lots of sperm in there to greet the egg...?! DH was knackered 😂

Was getting so frustrated with AF every month too @hevann it's so stressful and the TWW is so annoying, you just want to know already.

@HippeePrincess I'd say start to track, the app will give you averages for cycle length which may take a month or two to regulate? Kind of gives a sense of control over the whole process which can seem so random and long winded.

I've been looking at the period pants so it's interesting to read real feedback on them.

@HeathenPlayingHouse I hope you start to feel better over the next few days, sending good wishes your way.

@Dreamingof3 I'm on CD 15 just now usually ovulate on 16 going by BBT however I have ovulated on CD18 before so just hoping it's that 🤞

Oh no hope everyone feels better soon there's a lot of it going round just now! Hopefully just a wee 24 hour bug

@lj2022 what cycle day are you? I tens to ovulate a bit later in my cycle than any of my apps predicted

Sickness 😷 has hit our house. 5 year old was sick a few times last night. Woke up this morning saying she was hungry, made her some toast and she was fine but now feeling dodgy again. Then oh said he felt rough and has it the other end 🙈

I'm supposed to ovulate tomorrow and my LH tests are still extremely faint. Hoping it's just going to be a slightly later ovulation like it was a few months ago. Hoping my agnus castus hasn't had the opposite effect and messed up my cycles

Congratulations @Brightonbelle87

I’m starting to feel nervous about coming off my contraception at the end of the week. I’m not sure whether to try tracking ovulation from this cycle or wait til I’ve had a proper period and start then.
