CD6 here and finally giving it a go this month after tracking my cycles for a few (pcos so I was worried!)

I ovulate late (peak CD 19 last month) and it feels like a bloody age away!!!!

have suffered 2 previous MMC through accidental pregnancies 😣hoping for better luck 🙏

would love to share the journey with others!

@CatLadyH that's what we said this time and I'm already thinking if it hasn't happened this month I'm getting the CB ovulation sticks as they were amazing last time!

@mashm24 ah how exciting! My husbands already asking when I can test 😂 How old is your child? I have a 17 month old 😋

First month here too 👋🏻 CD17 and I have been testing for ovulation since CD10 and no positive results yet…getting a bit anxious 😕 been using digital but have ordered some of the regular strips to use with Premom app. Came off the pill in October 22 and cycle seems to be back to normal and regular periods etc. Just making me anxious early on when DH and I said we would take a relaxed approach 🙈 easier said than done eh? Sorry for the ramble x

@Mangotango39 we conceived in the first month which was a huge shock. However, I was having regular periods. Since giving birth, my periods are all over the place and having irregular bleeding so I think it might be more difficult.

Are you using ovulation tests to track?

First month trying for my second. PCOS here also! My peak is day 18 (today!) so similar to you. Sending baby dust your way :-)

How did you find conceiving the first time with pcos if you don't mind me asking 😊

I find this first month really daunting!!!
the not knowing is also so difficult for me as a huge planner 😂
will it be this month? Will it be a year? Who knows 😆
