Hi ladies,

Month 10 of TTC #2. I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle.

I have a one year old daughter who took almost a year and a half to conceive. I previously had a chemical pregnancy not long before she was conceived.

Really hoping this cycle will bring good news ❤️

Please feel free to join if your ovulation is around 26th/27th April and/or AF due around 7th/8th/9th May.

Wishing luck to us all xx

@Secondtimettc that is so frustrating! Make sure you complain to them! They should give you a free replacement box!

hope everyone is getting on okay and managing to find the time to dtd!

@missmoosh oh good tip! I don't get much ewcm and I'm awful for not drinking water... Will have to try this

missmoosh · 22/05/2023 20:37

@Secondtimettc drink plenty of water! I didn't get much ewcm and I massively increased how much water I drank and now its in abundance haha

Secondtimettc · 22/05/2023 17:05

@TTCing I have given in and started testing!
So annoyed with Clearblue digital! Bought a new one as the old one stopped working. First one yesterday cycle day 7. Static smiley! Freaked out and then looked at it and there was only the control line and lots of blue dye. Clearly malfunctioning. Now it's stuck on the static smiley so useless!

I've ordered some normal ovulation strips instead. I don't seem to get very much egg white mucus so also ordered pre seed! Anything else people can think of?

@StressyErica happy fertile window! I hope you manage to get time with your husband to dtd!

@StressyErica 😂😂😂 that made me laugh. Happy fertile window to all those in it!

My app said O yesterday but I still have signs it's yet to come, so think slightly late O for me this month, not testing so won't know for sure. Typical it would be later than normal the cycle we decide to try and dtd every day 😅

Freya8 · 22/05/2023 10:22

@StressyErica lol i like dipping the wee Lh ones and seeing wat level i get 🤣 tho im gettin bothered even tho i said i wouldnt jus as it took a slight dip today wen its supposed to be gettin higher!!. Gettin all the other signs tho gearin up so no clue how this will pan out!!

StressyErica · 22/05/2023 10:16

@TTCing Haha I read your message yesterday right after I had dipped my first opk of the cycle at cd10. 😂 I can't help myself! I don't get stressed about it though so it can't do me any harm.

Hope you guys have a successful fertile window! Is that a weird thing to say? Lol. I'm cd11 today and opk is getting darker and I have some signs of ovulation happening soonish, but I'm a fairly late ovulator anyway so I'm not expecting it to happen for a few days yet. Just need to find some alone time with DH which has been challenging recently...

I’m proud of how many of us are avoiding ovulation testing this month! I hope this will help relieve some pressure and make it more bearable! X

CD13 for me too, app predicts O today, but not testing this month. I have dtd every day since cd6....🙈

Ttcmumma · 21/05/2023 14:03

Cd7 here, tend to ovulate between cd13-16 not temping, testing or anything this month just going to dtd as much as we can around that time x

Cycle day 13 here. I think today is the first day of my fertile window. Expecting I’ll ovulate cycle day 18. We did last night and will now try to dtd every other day until cycle day 18 I think.

@WhiteHorse92 congrats ❤️
@XenaTheWarriorPrincess fingers crossed this is your cycle!

I think I’ll be starting my fertile window on Sunday. Ovulation should be 26th May I think. Based on previous ovulation tracking.

I’ve had ewcm today which is normal for me a couple of days before fertile window begins xx

Hey ladies!

Wasn't pregnant last cycle, which was disappointing, but at least now I know easy at home tests have awful indents/evaps! Probably switch back to just using the cheap £1 midstream ones from savers now.

Currently 1dpo and dtd the day (evening) before so I've got my fingers crossed this is the month.

Fingers crossed for all you lovely ladies as well that this is the cycle.

WhiteHorse92 · 19/05/2023 13:04

5 weeks post miscarriage and still no AF so tested and got a BFP! Just going to take it one day at a time, it's difficult to get excited when you've just lost a pregnancy. Here's hoping for a January baby 🤞

missmoosh · 18/05/2023 11:10

@Freya8 yeah I really need to try and be more one day at a time lol, so hard though!
Awww bless him for trying, but I guess what he is saying isn't technically wrong!
I'm doing it to myself like oh it's just cos my thyroid is dodgy, or oh my calcium was low for months etc 😅

Freya8 · 18/05/2023 10:11

@missmoosh awh babes 💓 not gonna lie ... tiz a pile of shite this ttc malarky! Im really tryin super hard to not think ahead lol jus each day at a time 😅 who my kiddin lol in bloody panic mode already being like what if i dont ovulate! Wat if it doesnt implant proper again. Also my hubby is running out of excuses to tell me as to why is hasnt happened lmaoo first one was u were only off the pill it takes a bit to settle then it was i think u jus need a period to reset. N then now hes like eh .. ehhh .. jus wasnt meant to be lmao i guarantee if not successful this one he will say it was the chemical that messed that one up 🤣🤣🤣 xxx

missmoosh · 18/05/2023 09:50

Ooo we all know what we will be doing now then 😂

I have also had a horrible realisation that if I'm not successful in the next couple of cycles, not only will I reach the year mark, but will also be on my period when my SIL is due to give birth! If I don't laugh I will cry!

Freya8 · 18/05/2023 09:10

Fertile window tomorrow ... thats if my cycle stays same 🙏🙏 started every other day so done cd 5 n cd7 todays cd8

missmoosh · 18/05/2023 08:52

According to my app I'm now officially in fertile window...where is everyone else in their cycle?

Daniki · 17/05/2023 18:39

buckingmad · 17/05/2023 13:21

@Daniki after my early miscarriage I did ovulate but a week later than normal. I had an LH rise but didn't quite hit peak, then a week later got my peak so maybe just keep testing longer than you would normally just in case.

Thanks Il keep an eye! Hopefully it's not too out of whack, can't be arsed dtd forever 😂😂😂 xx
