Hello!

TTC #2, 36 yo. I should be dpo 1 today, I could feel ovulation yesterday evening, had peak opk yesterday morning.

I will try to test only on day when AF due, so next Sunday, as I've had 2 chemicals so unfortunately not expecting magic.

@pinkandredflowers did you take any medicine for sickness? I hear every pregnancy is different, one of my friends had terrible sickness first pregnancy and only mild nausea second time

@pinkandredflowers yes! I hear 3 year age gap is perfect so everything crossed for you. Hope the terrible/terrific 2s are going ok?

We have a few weddings in August so if I'm successful, it'll be very tiring end of summer for us, but I love the idea of a spring baby. Ours is a summer boy and he will be on the younger side when school starts.

My daughter is also 2! Nearly 2.5 so will be 3 by the time a sibling (hopefully!) comes along.

If it doesn't happen this month I need to take a break for a bit as have some important work stuff in Sept and pregnancy makes me SO SICK so can't risk being in the early 1st trimester any later than this month. So I'm reeeealllly hoping we have done enough this month!

I've been very bloated today post ov, and will no doubt start symptom spotting in the next couple of days 🤣

Hello! I think I'm 3dpo today. First cycle ttc, I'm 35. Thought I would feel totally chill about it for the first few months but totally not the case!! I wasn't quite expecting to ovulate yet. I just came off contraception in early June and wasn't sure if I had a withdrawal bleed or real period last month. So was doing ovulation tests just to see what might be going on. Then a positive OPK on Friday 🤯
