Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

@MrsL22 Hello ☺️
I suppose it is but when you see others getting clear lines at that stage it’s hard isn’t it.
Maybe TMI but after we had sex at 6dpo it was pink tinged instead of white when I wiped but nothing since, and then again today same thing happened - pink when I wiped only after sex? Seems strange to me but don’t want to get my hopes up.

MrsL22 · 07/01/2023 14:24

Hi @Mrsrobinsonx 👋🏼
10dpo still relatively early so fingers crossed you get your BFP this time!

Mrsrobinsonx · 07/01/2023 14:13

Just found this forum, I’m 10dpo I think today but bfn. I literally feel like I’m going crazy, this month I was so sure it was the one.
light pink cm 6dpo, mild cramping and backache the last 3 days which I never get before AF. I’m due on Monday at 12dpo as I ovulated 2 days later than normal.

I’ve been taking a general multivitamin plus folic acid but today I’ve been and bought pregnacare for pre-pregnancy in the hope that it helps? Not cheap though and wondering whether any supermarkets do their own version of these fancy ones 😂🙈

Downtherabbithole83 · 07/01/2023 13:53

On one of the other threads I’m on, someone was talking about starting pregnacare and it making their cycles longer. Though with the vitamins in them I’m not sure it should affect anything like that…

I take the seven seas ones because my sister gave them to me and I love anything free! I’ve never taken anything until after my positive test before.

Pitstop1986 · 07/01/2023 13:38

What brand of vitamins is everyone using? For the last 6 weeks I've been using women's Proceive. I'm wondering if this caused the spotting that I had a few days ago, as I usually never get spotting. Thinking about changing to a different one this month. I used Cytoplan's Pregna-plan before, so may go back to that unless someone else has a better suggestion.

I also take an omega 3 fish oil and Obtibac probiotics

Pitstop1986 · 07/01/2023 13:28

I'll be away just before ovulation this month, so I'm going to have a month off testing and tracking. Due to ovulate around the day I fly home so hoping that if we DTD on the run up it'll be ok to miss out ovulation day

Downtherabbithole83 · 07/01/2023 11:43

My cycles are usually 26 days, ovulating around day 12. This cycle was only 24 days though but it’s my first one after tfmr so a bit messed up I guess… still ovulated around the same time though.

Sorry to hear you’re also on CD1 but at least we’re all in it together.

I’m going to use opks again and hope for the best 🤞might try a little less dtd this time and see what happens as covering every possible time obviously didn’t work this cycle (and exhausted my other half 😂)

CloudyVenus · 07/01/2023 10:32

@MrsL22 I never get this feeling with AF cramps as they are are different for me and this doesn't hurt just feels really strange. I may not even get AF tomorrow as I've been super ill recently and concerned it has thrown everything off

MrsL22 · 07/01/2023 10:20

@CloudyVenus is it not just pms cramps if AF due tomorrow?

CloudyVenus · 07/01/2023 10:18

I've been having butterflies in my lower stomach for about half an hour now, it feels so weird!

Supposedly AF is due tomorrow, has any of you experienced this before?

MrsL22 · 07/01/2023 09:37

@Pitstop1986 @Downtherabbithole83 three amigos ! My DH definitely gets invested in the testing

@T4Opal I’m usually around day 17/18 30-33 days.

T4Opal · 07/01/2023 09:28

What day does everyone usually ovulate and how long are your cycles? I’m around day 17 on a 29 day cycle

Pitstop1986 · 07/01/2023 09:25

Good morning @Downtherabbithole83 and @MrsL22 can I join CD1 club with you?

AF arrived this morning (after all the worrying and symptom spotting I've been doing the last few days!)

DH is disappointed we didn't get to do a Pg test this morning. He was looking forward to it! I wonder if partners can get just as addicted to the tests as us?!

Baby dust for everyone in their new cycle! 💕

DancingNancies · 07/01/2023 09:11

@Downtherabbithole83 @MrsL22 sorry to hear AF has arrived, better luck for next month!

Still nothing here, no tests left either but honestly the last couple back been a disappointment so I'm not exactly enthused to buy any more to see a BFN! Just wishing AF would stop faffing around and come now so I can crack on with next month and enjoy a glass of wine with my dinner tonight!

MrsL22 · 07/01/2023 08:45

@Downtherabbithole83 what are the chances! Just light spotting for now but I know that will just turn into a full period 👎🏼

on to cycle #5 🤞🏼

Downtherabbithole83 · 07/01/2023 08:36

AF here for me too! We are obviously synced @MrsL22

MrsL22 · 07/01/2023 07:42

HELLO AF 🔴😭
Back to CD1

@T4Opal This chat will continue don’t worry!!!

I think I may try and take some pressure off this month and delete the apps and the tracking and stop the OPKs and instead just go with the flow?

T4Opal · 07/01/2023 07:31

@MrsL22 @DancingNancies @Downtherabbithole83 I also work in education, as a uni lecturer for initial teacher training! It makes sense we’re all planning our September babies!
I’m on cd1 this morning, can we carry this chat on for more luck in the next cycle?

MrsL22 · 06/01/2023 22:24

Pitstop1986 · 06/01/2023 22:21

Just told DH about today's negative test. He's now all on board for POAS sessions until AF shows up! Got to love the support!

YESSSSSS DH. Love this 🙌🏼

MrsL22 · 06/01/2023 22:23

@Pitstop1986 im also an early riser for work so perhaps it’s not worth the extra stress for me.
It’s definitely reassuring to hear you had a late BFP with DD but it’s typical as all I ever get told is ‘well we got pregnant as soon as we stopped trying’. Not helpful 😂🙈

Pitstop1986 · 06/01/2023 22:21

Pitstop1986 · 06/01/2023 22:18

@MrsL22 I temped for a couple of months TTC DD but with me having to get up early for shifts at the hospital, I think it threw everything out a little bit so I couldn't plot a decent graph and it all got a bit too stressful!

In the end we monitored CM and DTD as much as I could in the fertile window that the Flo app suggested, plus just before and after, to cover our bases.

Downtherabbithole83 · 06/01/2023 22:17

That’s exciting @Pitstop1986 - I wonder if you’ll be the same this time? 🤞

MrsL22 · 06/01/2023 22:14

@Downtherabbithole83 I’ve not looked into it much but it’s also next on my to do list 😂🙈
