TTC baby 1

@ttcbaby12023 ohhh sorry to hear about the nausea but also sounds like a promising sign! Keep testing and see what happens.

@Mariabombia Welcome 🙂I'm so sorry to hear about your MC that must have been so tough after waiting 8 months too. This is my 4th Cycle and approx 6/7DPO and I feel like I've been trying forever!

@RJS20 are you in the TWW now?

Hows is everyone doing? Feeling so chilled about this cycle but just don't think we DTD enough at the right time!!

I've started looking ahead towards Christmas, I have this cycle and 2 more before December, and starting to think if I don't get a BFP before I might skip a cycle so I can at least have a drink etc over Christmas

Hi ladies ,

Hope I can join ♥️ TTC #1, sadly had a mc in July so on our first cycle trying since then.

That pregnancy took 8 cycles so praying it won't take as long this time 🙏🏻

Currently aprox 8DPO, anyone at a similar stage in their cycle?

It's not even been a whole year yet but I feel like we've been TTC forever 🥱

afternoon @ttcbaby12023

That all sounds positive! I can also see a faint line on the second test! Got everything crossed that we’ve got our first BFP in the group. How you feeling? Xxx

@Midnight00 ahh I see. The CB ones recommend FMU but I’ve also read you can get your peak around 2 o’clock so when I got a headache on Friday I tested in the afternoon and got my peak.

@ttcbaby12023

I think I can see something on the second one! Congrats and I hope the lines get darker over the next few days!

Oh thanks, I'll have a look at this!

AF Is due 5 Oct but I do vary 2/3 days!

Thanks! It's great to join the club.

@RJS20 I'm using cheap One Step strips as it's my first cycle and didn't expect much luck. I'm testing in the afternoon but it's so tricky to not drink water before as I'm a teacher and get so thirsty. Think I'll accept that this month is done and be more prepared for next!

Think tracking will also help with getting my ovulation date more accurate next cycle

Evening@Midnight00! welcome to the club 💕
What OPKs are you using and what time are you testing?

I came off the pill in June, hoping it’s fully out of my system! Heard a few people say it can stay in your system for a few months 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi all, may I join too?

@Lovelybubble I'm also struggling with OPKs, thinking my urine might be too diluted. It's stressful especially when it's all new.

This is my first cycle after coming off pull i. August. I'm CD17 and awaiting ovulation confirmation on Natural
Cycles and given up with OPKs for this cycle

Sorry to jump in on this @Lovelybubble and @TTC2022newbie - Yes you can have a cycle and not ovulate, its called Anovulation - uk.clearblue.com/sites/default/files/HCP_Publications/anovulation_backgrounder_hcp_v8.pdf

Haha @TTC2022newbie! sounds like something I would do.

ooh that’s exciting, when is AF due? Xx

@TTC2022newbie I’m not sure… I think You can still have a cycle, but they are longer. Mine can be quite long so it does worth me

@Firsttimetrying2022 ah thank you! Might be worth me trying them for a month or two just to put my mind at ease. I promised myself I wouldn’t become obsessed, but it’s just so hard. I’ve waited so long x

@Lovelybubble Hiya!

Yeah I do too but I’ve had it a few days now and nausea has just kicked in. I think if anything I am maybe 1 or 2 DPO, as I had my peak on Friday.

I would recommend tracking, I went off Flo for the first few months and this was the first month we used OPKs. Looks like Flo had my ovulation out by about a week!!!

Ive used CB advanced OPK and it’s been super easy xx

@Lovelybubble I really struggled with OPKs and it started to stress me out about whether I was ovulating or not so I started using digital ones to take the guess work out. They are quite pricey in comparison but I just wanted to have some reassurance for a few cycles until I'm sure that I'm ovulating regularly

@RJS20 I've been really tired today too, had a little nap this afternoon (I also had a nap so I didn't have to clean the bathroom 🤣)
I think I'm out of ovulation period now and I could be anything from 6dpo and 4dpo so we'll see! I have just written myself out this month though and just want a new cycle to start again. Obviously I never know and maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised 🤞

@Lovelybubble so I haven't used anything to see when I ovulate and I'm not too knowledgeable in that area.... Can you have cycles where you don't ovulate?

@TTC2022newbie glad you’re feeling better!

@RJS20 I sometimes cramp around ovulation… how many DPO are you?

I feel a bit deflated today. I’ve been doing ovulation tests for 5 days and I had one day where the line got darker ( slightly still a negative) but for the last 2 days it’s just really faint again. Not sure what that is about…I have long cycles so I think it’s still early but I’ve got such a fear I’m not ovulating ( first month tracking ) that I’m just desperate to see a positive ! X

Evening,

No updates from me, I’m just exhausted and having some cramping. I’m pretty sure I’ve ovulated so not sure whats happening there, any thoughts?

How is everyone feeling today? Xx

@Lovelybubble thank you, feeling much better today so 🤞it's completely gone tomorrow!

@ttcbaby12023

Oh no, I know they say you're not out until you get AF but it's so hard not having an answer either way! Could it be the CP that has messed with your cycle?

Diarrhea is a sign for me too but more with AF than before!

I'm feeling a lot better, the blood when I wee has gone and it doesn't hurt anywhere near as much as it did yesterday so 🤞 it'll be gone tomorrow.

@TTC2022newbie hope you feel better soon ❤
@ttcbaby12023 I hope you get an answer either way soon. I had that last month, I was late but I started a new job and was stressed/ anxious so think it was that.

I swear we spend half our lives trying to get pregnant to realise how much actually goes into TTC! 😂

Thanks 🥰🥰 @ttcbaby12023 @TTC2022newbie @RJS20

I'm also tracking with Natural cycles, bit lost as its my first cycle not relying on Opks and tracking cm instead but its pretty interesting! Hope your're all having a lovely weekend and babydust to all!

@RJS20 as far as I understand it it's to do with applying pressure to specific points on feet and hands which are meant to correspond to certain parts of your body so can help balance your body

It's our 3rd cycle. I've tracked my cycle with Natural cycles for prevention before ttc so we jump straight into ovulation tracking etc

Afternoon everyone and welcome to those who have joined.

@TTC2022newbie sounds like you might have cut if it’s sore and you are getting a bit of blood. Hope you feel better soon.

@ttcbaby12023 sorry you haven’t had your BFP yet, but it could still happen. Like @TTC2022newbie said, I’ve also had sex when AF is due and it’s spurred things along, so maybe give it a go.

@Nypie sorry to hear about your cp. Sending baby dust for this cycle 💕

Whats reflexology @Firsttimetrying2022? I’ve not heard of that? How long have you been trying for? If you don’t mind me asking.
This is our 3rd cycle and I’m taking it more seriously this month, tracking ovulation with OPKs and feeling positive it could happen for us. However, if it doesn’t, be prepared for me having a meltdown on here 😂
