TTC baby 1

Has anyone heard of reflexology to help with ttc? My MIL is convinced it worked for her after 18 months of trying so I've got a session booked for next week just to give it a go. Not sure if there is any evidence to help but can't hurt I guess

@ttcbaby12023 im sorry about your BFN, I have avoided testing the past 2 days because I’ve had so many BFNs, although I suppose we aren’t out until AF shows…. Maybe we both ovulated late this month🤔AF now 1 day late for me, no symptoms except mild cramping on/off for past 2 weeks and my boobs are defo larger than normal

I know, it's such a rollercoaster.
It puts it into perspective when friends/family have announced a pregnancy in the past, I know what they have gone through to get to that point.

There's me thinking we would decide to start trying for a family and then get pregnant, just like that 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

Last month when AF wouldn't arrive for me, we DTD and it came so don't know if that would help push it along.

@ttcbaby12023 any sign of AF?

Thank you so much @ttcbaby12023 @Firsttimetrying2022 that has helped a lot.
I thought it might be a UTI but was worried about the blood.

I've been using the fertility cup all week after DTD so wouldn't surprise me if that has caused the blood too. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I will definitely keep an eye on it

Hello everyone how are you all doing? Just about to start the 2ww I dread this bit I wish we could all just know. I decided to temp this time and I've had a spike yesterday and today of 36.7 it was 36.5 previous days so hopefully I've ovulated. I'm so new to all this tracking stuff. Hello @Fluffster99 I couldn't agree more I'm so glad we have this group. We're all in it together.

@TTC2022newbie

Not sure about the blood but painful wee could be a UTI

I'd check with GP if you're worried

Hope you feel better

Hi everyone, could I join you… Going into month 4 on CD1 TTC first baby. I didn’t anticipate how lonely it would be or what a rolllercoaster it would be either!

@Lovelybubble @Nypie @ttcbaby12023 @Firsttimetrying2022 @RJS20

Morning all, advice needed please
It was a little painful to wee yesterday and today it is slightly worse and when I wipe there is blood.
I am absolutely CD15 and not due for 11days so too early for implantation and AF but it's more that it hurts. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Not really had this before!!

And advice appreciated

@ttcbaby12023 oh no!! How frustrating, I was 6 days late last month and getting BFN, so annoying when you have that but still no AF. Hopefully, you'll get a clear answer soon.

@RJS20 I've had a period/hormone headache this afternoon but I'm putting it down to being in a training course at work all day not ovulation but we have been DTD every other day for a week so we'll see.

I definitely feel like I'm thinking about the whole thing less by 'writing off' the cycle in my head but still trying to DTD!! It's like I'm lying to myself 😂

@Nellybelly03 sorry you have got a BFN but no AF is still good!

@Firsttimetrying2022 Hi and Welcome :) I love our little group we have now :) can't wait for the first BFP in this group. It's hard not to wish life away just waiting for a BFP, there were a few things I was holding off doing/committing to as I didn't want to commit then fall pregnant but this month I've just gone for it. I feel better that I'm not putting life on hold, particularly as I don't know how long it will take to get pregnant.

@Nypie Hi :) So sorry about your CP, must be so hard :( I went way over the top on testing in Cycle 1 and was fairly convinced I'd just fall pregnant straight away. Testing and seeing a negative really started to effect me so I don't test much at all now and I keep a bit of hope

Sending lots of love and baby dust to the group. Hope you all have a great weekend too :D

Hey all hope I can join in! I'm 3 cycles in 11cd. 1st cycle had all the signs in the book & 2nd cycle almost lost my mind taking test from 6dpo till about 16dpo 😂😂 this cycle I don't even want to look at a test absolutely sick of them. Also had a cp last year and it was awful so sorry @ttcbaby12023

@ttcbaby12023

Eek let us know how you get on tonight when you test.

I’ve just received my peak - I decided to test again because I cant shift this headache. We’ve DTD every day since Monday so I’m hoping we are on for a winner this month.

xx

Can I join? I'm currently on CD4 of cycle 3 so hoping we'll have better luck this month. I'm finding it very hard not to count down the days to ovulation and when next AF is due because in my head I'm counting down to when we'll get good news. Definitely makes it feel like the rest of life is on hold though

AF due today but no sign yet… BFN lastnight and haven’t tested this morning. Have been having dull cramps for about 10 days now but still no sign of AF although my period can fluctuate by a day or 2. Not sure whether to keep testing or not

Hope you’re all well.

its CD 13 for me and two negative ovulation tests so far. We are DTD every other day and only first cycle of TTC #1 .
At the moment we just agreed we would stop preventing and see what happens… but now we’ve said that I can’t stop thinking about it 😂 my first step is working out if/ when I’m actually ovulating without stressing about it!
baby dust to all

Morning @ttcbaby12023

How long is your cycle usually?

I have everything crossed that we see a BFP from you in the next couple of days. Are you testing twice a day?

I am still showing as high fertility so no peak as of yet, not sure if I’ve missed it or it’ll happen this weekend. I’ve got a terrible headache today so who knows.

@TTC2022newbie glad it’s not just me, I always need an afternoon nap 😂

Well fingers crossed! Really hope we see some BFPs on here shortly. I have a good feeling about this cycle xx

@RJS20 Yes around the day of ovulation I am absolutely knackered! So I think it was yesterday.

Just don't know what to think this cycle! sort of just want to start again 😅 Think I am probably 1DPO so here comes TWW

Evening everyone,

I‘m feeling good today, received high fertility yesterday and today on the CB advanced OPKs so ovulation is any day now.

Does anyone else suffer from exhaustion and cramps when ovulation is due?

How is everyone feeling? Xxx
