6dpo for me today and officially the point of the TWW where it starts to drag for me. Absolutely no symptoms, I know it’s too early still but both times I’ve been pregnant recently I’ve had symptoms fairly early on so who knows.

MrsGrealish · 14/06/2022 22:39

@Mummyme87 ah good luck 🀞 I think putting DH on them made the difference..his swimmers lasted way longer xx

Mummyme87 · 14/06/2022 22:34

Yes @MrsGrealish it was those. I found the thread and I’ve ordered them 🀞🏻

AF started this eve, so CD1

MrsGrealish · 14/06/2022 22:26

@Mummyme87 sorry I've been a silent lurker (pretty much waiting for my ogs to get their bfps @BiscuitLover3678 @Charl881🀞) but I mentioned vitamins on the May thread. They smell bad but are called wild nutrition food grown fertility. They do male and female versions. I had been trying since January got these April and got a bfp. Possibly a massive coincidence but who knows. I miscarried at 6 weeks though at the end of May xx not sure if it's those ones you are thinking off?

vitahelp · 14/06/2022 19:33

@tulipsunday Yes that’s true! It will be cute seeing her play the big sister role.

@Indianna2006 It will be so exciting for her having a baby sibling! I was an only child so didn’t experience any of it. Oh gosh I hope the 2WW goes really fast for you, keep us updated on any signs. I really hope this is your cycle!

I’m in the fertile window now according to the app but not ewcm yet and temps are still steady so think ov is still a while away.

vitahelp · 14/06/2022 19:29

@Cegbee haha I’m the same, the worry hasn’t properly started yet since it’s my first cycle trying, but I know from last time that it’s only a matter of time!

Indianna2006 · 14/06/2022 18:45

@vitahelp my dd is also 4. Although we have been ttc for a year with mc and chemical in the mix. But she will be 5 now by time a sibling comes along.

i am now 1DPO and in 2ww. First cycle since mc that took 11 cycles and then chemical straight after πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ.

A bit of an age gap will be nice @vitahelp least your daughter will be able to help you out with the little one. Good luck for this cycle!

tulipsunday · 14/06/2022 18:17

It is frustrating isn't it when you don't get to dtd as much as you planned to isn't it @Cegbee good luck for this cycle. I am about 3dpo. My son will be 3 in April so probably have a three year gap.!

Cegbee · 14/06/2022 16:52

@vitahelp she'll be 3 in November so 3.5 ish by the time I have another at least. I conceived her when I was 35 without any issues. I try not to worry about my age though- it's one thing I can't control! I just worry about everything else instead πŸ˜†

vitahelp · 14/06/2022 10:47

@peacelily101 Good news about the ewcm, sounds like ov is near! I did OPKs when I was trying for my DD 5 years ago and found them hard work, I had to do them in work and hide in the toilets! I’m just temp charting this time which is easier.
I only stopped the pill 2 months ago so no idea what my usual ov day would be, I can only go off my past data from 5 years ago when it was usually CD16 or 17.

@Cegbee Wishing you a quick 2WW, it feels such a long time doesn’t it! May I ask how old your first child is? Mine is 4 soon so I’ve left quite a big age gap (deliberately) but it means I’m quite a bit older this time round (36 next month) and keep wondering if it will be as straightforward as it was last time with TTC and pregnancy.

Cegbee · 13/06/2022 22:31

Hi all,
I'm 1 DPO today. TTC a second child, I'm 38 and currently 2nd cycle after MMC in March, only had 1 AF since as it took ages to come post-mc. I've been tracking using OPK for last 2 months, I don't bother with BBT much as I do weird shifts including nights at work. Not feeling very positive, didn't DTD as much as I wanted to again, husband was too tired yesterday!! God I hate the TWW, good luck everyone!

@peacelily101 Yes that sounds great and you’ve got a good chance. Are you charting etc to know when you will have ovulated or are you going off past cycle patterns?

tulipsunday · 13/06/2022 17:55

Interesting about the supplements. I am just taking the seven seas trying for a baby ones (and husband nothing) but may look into some others if no bfp in next few months. Hope everyone ok today

Ah how lucky to have got a BFP on your first try! I hope this is your month! I am really hoping it's our month too! X

MountainMummy95 · 13/06/2022 13:32

Angie2018 · 13/06/2022 10:43

@MountainMummy95 yes that is exactly it and some months it makes it super unenjoyable as you just feel like you are permanently waiting for something 🀣 what cycle day are you on? I am CD3 so due to ovulate in just over a week x

Currently 2dpo... with my first baby I caught first try. I tested at 11dpo and it was stark negative. Tested again at 14 and there was a clear positive, so going to try my very best to only test after 12dpo at least. But I dunno how I will manage!!

Charl881 · 13/06/2022 13:17

@BiscuitLover3678 no we’ll just try and avoid DTD around the fertile window, it’s mainly because I’m looking to move jobs, but obviously be good to have a mental break too. Not going back on contraception though as obviously wouldn’t be gutted if a mistake happened!

It’s worth speaking to your doctor to see what they can offer. Mine is doing some blood tests next cycle because of my two chemicals, wasn’t expecting them to be able to help at all.

BiscuitLover3678 · 13/06/2022 13:06

Also completely understand you wanting to take a break @Charl881 does that mean you’ll go back on contraception? I’m not sure what to do really. Tempted to get fertility tests but it’s so expensive and I know most places say you should wait a year.

Charl881 · 13/06/2022 12:37

@Mummyme87 you sound similar to me, I’m 34, also overweight with no motivation to shift it, and cycle 8 (maybe 9). I’ve started taking COQ10 which is meant to be good for egg quality and I take extra strength vitamin D. Good luck!

Hello everyone, I come and go from these threads as I get obsessed and go crazy.
but here I am again. I was looking for a July TTC group but came across β€˜ttc a March baby’… and I’ve always wanted a March baby so maybe it’s a sign 😬😬

so I’m TTC #3, I have an 8yr old and 4yr old boys, I had a ruptured ectopic in July 2020 and lost my right tube. Im 35yrs and overweight (just can’t get the motivation to shift it).
I'm just at the end of cycle 8, waiting for AF any moment. I have 12 LP but not sure when I ovulated this cycle as wasn’t testing properly and it does vary for me over a few days. I’m testing negative on tests so 99% sure AF will turn up today or tomorrow.

cycle 7 I did some bloods and had low progesterone so looks like I didn’t ovulate, which has made me anxious. Will repeat them all again this cycle.

so onwards and upwards. I take vit B12, folic acid, zinc and vit D, have done for last 10months. Does anyone take anything different? I vaguely remember some supplements that weren’t bog standard being mentioned in previous threads… my OH isn’t taking anything

Good luck!

I just take pregnancare but probably same vitamins. I did start dh on something but can’t remember the name atm! Someone else on here might know. Some male conception vitamins. We also use preseed.

CD10 here, first month trying and only stopped pill 2 months ago.

Already impatient for fertile window and tracking temps on FF app. Unsure on my natural cycles with only stopping pill recently but hoping the temp chart will guide me and I won’t miss ovulation.
