New thread for those of us now trying for the first babies of 2024, may we all be lucky this month!

I'm CD1 today of cycle 6 ttc my second.
Had a chemical at the end of February and lots of illness in March so revved up to give this month all I've got!

@Daniki really? I don't normally get peak until day21 but I'm only on CD5ish/heavy bleeding after the CP.

It was heavy, but it's much lighter now πŸ€” it could just be my cycles are so messed up now. I haven't had a temp drop yet either xx

Daniki · 10/04/2023 10:00

@Angelselevenx I wouldn't be surprised if you are, I always ovulated straight after my period round day 9 (always lasted a week πŸ™„) are you heavy bleeding or light? I was always really light towards the end which was a pain in the arse but I'd do the same and make OH go for it πŸ˜‚ x

@Floralsandsmiles going to have to tell the OH to just close his eyes and go for it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I'm joking, hopefully the bleeding stops today! Xxxx

Lol well it won't harm you.. xxx

Daniki · 10/04/2023 09:58

@emmatcc1 hey Emma not at all, it took me a year with my first to get pregnant. Do you ovulate round the same time every month?
If so, why don't you and your partner book a night or two away round that time so yous can relax and take the pressure off? πŸ₯°

@Floralsandsmiles I'm sorry πŸ˜” although you're not fully out until AF is here!

Does anyone have any insight? The top OPK test was last nights and the bottom this mornings. I'm on (I think) CD5 after my CP/Early miscarriage. I didn't think I'd potentially ovulate this quickly afterwards?

O goodness, I didn't know you could ovulate when bleeding.. but it looks like it's coming @Angelselevenx xxxx

emmatcc1 · 10/04/2023 09:37

Hi can I join AF is due on wednesday and temp have been dropping and having cramps so I'm out this cycle. Going on to cycle number 9 and already so tired thinking it's never gonna happen.

@Floralsandsmiles I have seen that too but not going to put pressure on just incase it doesn't happen straight away xxxx

That's fair enough lovely. I have everything crossed for you!!

Bowels have just opened (Sorry for TMI) which normally means full blown AF is on her way and I can feel her this morning already πŸ˜” xxxx

DHB · 10/04/2023 08:21

Thank you @Angelselevenx

Hi all! New in here πŸ’—

I had a MC at 8 weeks on 5th March and currently on Day 3 of my first cycle since! Going to start ovulation tests from whenever AF goes off on her travels and start DTD from then too.

TTC baby number 2, currently have an 8 year old Daughter!

Sending everyone lots of luck this month🌻

@Floralsandsmiles I'm okay thank you, feeling more positive now, still lightly bleeding but hoping that'll stop soon πŸ€”. Gearing the OH up for a busy few weeks 🀣 xxx

Aww I'm so glad! Hopefully you will fall quick! I have seen a few ladies fall the next cycle after a CP xxxx

@Floralsandsmiles Morning! Glad there's no more spotting 🀞🏼🀞🏼. That's good willpower not testing well done! Fingers crossed the spotting stays away. How many dpo are you now, 10? Xxx

@Floralsandsmiles how you doing? Xxx

Morning @Angelselevenx , how are you? No more spotting yet, didn't do a test this morning.im sure spotting will return later though, as with previous months it's been sporadical through the days of spotting before AF.. xxx

Angelselevenx · 09/04/2023 20:40

@Belle97 hey! Are you 11dpo now if you ovulated on CD19? Have you tried a sensitive test for early testing?

I am around 11dpo, I have used a sensitive test and it was negative sadly, although I have also been doing ovulation strip tests and that is on the rise quite dramatically so keeping fingers crossed for the positive pregnancy test soon!

Floralsandsmiles · 09/04/2023 20:44

Angelselevenx · 09/04/2023 20:39

@Floralsandsmiles what else do you take? Is there anything I'm missing in here you think might help?

Ooh okay well that's promising...! 🀞🏼🀞🏼 xxx

The ones I take @Angelselevenx are:

X2 DHA (these I'm told are for egg quality)
X2 magnesium, zinc and calcium
X1 coq10 (egg quality)
X1 vitamin d
X1iron
X1 b6
X1 folic acid

I read in various places all are important. One poster said she was taking too much and stripped back to the essentials and only therefore took: folic acid, vitamin d and b6? So I'm assuming those are important?

You think this could be promising? Xxx

@Belle97 could be either, took me a year to regulate after the pills.
Get a really sensitive test and see or even could get blood work done? 😁 hope it's a positive for you!

I tested again this eve and it's obv negative, why do I do it to myself πŸ˜‚ should take my own advice and leave it til at least Tuesday 🫣

Floralsandsmiles · 09/04/2023 20:36

Angelselevenx · 09/04/2023 20:33

@Floralsandsmiles I'm sure 300mg is enough, it's happy medium between the two figures!

Do you normally get rust coloured spotting? Xxx

Haha true, I could do with a healthy chill on the vitamins! I take 9 a day now..

Actually no I don't, its bright red. This was pink twice yesterday and the day before on just the one wipe. Today it had a bright red and now more a rust xxx

Belle97 · 09/04/2023 20:34

Hope you don't mind me jumping in...

Me and hubby are trying TTC #1. My cycles normally range from 24-26 days, and have done for the 6/7 months I've been off the pill.

I normally ovulate quiet late at about day 19 (I know that's really short) but this month I am now on CD30, AF is late, I'm getting every pregnancy symptom under the sun but still testing negative.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Could it be my cycles still regulating? Could I be pregnant?
