TTC keep sane. Hoping for April 24 baby. Part 2

Hi I’m 35 and 2dpo ttc #2 with a short LP of 7/8 days. DS #1 took approx a year to conceive, hoping it’s not the same this time around. Currently on cycle 7 ttc

@Floralsandsmiles hey!!! Sorry to hear you’re getting frustrated with your journey. Have everything crossed for you that this is your journey. I cannot comment on the things you are taking as have no experienced. However I take the trying to conceive pregnacare so just one tablet. It’s what I took when knowing we were going to ttc baby no 1 and did get caught first cycle. However I’m not in cycle 2 so still early in my journey to know if the vitamins are any good or not.

sounds like you are taking the right steps and sound positive that all tests have come back good!

Hi @CurlyWurly1991 👋, nice to meet you.
It's really so very soul crushing isn't it! I am taking so many vitamins I rattle! However am told that they are all whats needed. I'm taking coq10, DHA, folic acid, vitamins d, vitamin b12, calcium/magnesium/zinc, iron and vitamin c.
I can't take much more! I don't know why everything isn't working 😕 xxxx

Hi @Floralsandsmiles sounds frustrating. It is good to know you have no identified cause of not yet conceiving, although understand the frustration that it’s not happening yet. I’m 37 TTC #2 and also have an older first child (9). Really want it to happen soon, we are going in to cycle 4 and I’m on CD1. Getting a bit fed up really, doing the same as you plus bbt temping. Bought some new vitamins. Will probably look into sperm analysis/and see the GP if we don’t conceive in the next couple of cycles.

Can I join please? I'm 36 and TTC #2. 1st is 13.
DH and I have been trying for 8 months. I have had all GP blood tests, scans, sperm analysis, and all come back fine. Confirmed ovulation by Lh, scans with functional ovaries and also confirmed via progesterone.
We use preseed, track LH levels and make sure to make the most of fertility window.. and nothing!
I don't know why, what I'm missing, and getting so very sad! I have some spotting, to which a hospital gynae has prescribed me progesterone tablets to take at 4dpo, until AF. This is even though my progesterone levels were fine. Its supposed to help me hold onto a pregnancy? (Although again no CP to show i cant).
I ovulated yesterday, so today is 1dpo and im starting progesterone soon. I havent read anywhere this will help me conceive though?
We started looking into IVF, so very depressed 😒 Xxx

@HelloMoon87 yes will continue to test twice a day as my test tonight is stronger than the previous, so I think maybe today is my ovulation day or tomorrow. According to CB tests my ovulation would be today, so i know it’s around now, so as long as plenty of DTD I should be covered.

hope your feel okay with your UTI, I’ve never experienced it during pregnancy so cannot be more helpful!

@Tes004 gutted AF is here for you but at least you can move forward ready for the next cycle!! Within the next couple of weeks it will be go go go and the fun of trying starts again!! X

@Ecgx ah lovely to see 🥰

Af well and truly here - which I’m actually relieved as last month was not much a bleed at all - so I feel like I’m having a nice clear out ready to hit clomid and relax on my holidays - just hope bleed l isn’t too many days lol - no one wants that drama in bikini weather !! Good luck to the rest of you !! Xx

Thank you ladies, I hope you all get your BFP soon too! @Tes004 @Ncl31 @BlossomTree123 x

@Ecgx congratulations!!! That’s amazing news!

@Ncl31 yes my thoughts too. Managed to DTD last night and the night before. So we will see about tonight ahah

@Ecgx thats amazing! Many congratulations! Hope you have a healthy pregnancy! X

@Ecgx yeahhhhhh ! Lovely to see xx

Ladies good luck with your ovulation and bd! Hope you get positive news in the next couple of weeks. I wanted to jump on to show my lines today, very positive which has rest assured me for now! I am due my period tomorrow-Tuesday I think I have possibly ovulated a bit earlier than I thought with the lines as this is not an early test either I couldn’t get one! I have edd of 9th April. Good luck to you all I will deffo keep checking in with the thread and see how your getting on x

@BlossomTree123 id definitely say last night was your peak. Did you manage to DTD?
Id definitely try today and tomorrow again too, keep doing your temp I think you’re right and you’ll see the shift just after you’ve ovulated.
Fingers crossed and good luck!

Good morning ladies. How are we all?

I’ve done my OPK this morning and it doesn’t look as strong as the one last night, so I think yesterday was my “peak” day and maybe I’m ovulating today. However no ovulation pains or anything like that this month. Also been doing my temp and haven’t had a spike yet, but that’s meant to happen after ovulation has happened ??? I think yesterday was my peak looking at the tests, the lines are very strong.

we will see!

@MLN89 good luck!! I’m also cycle 2 ttc baby 2. But haven’t done smep, just got my positive opk today CB so expecting ovulation any day. Hoping your cycle is successful!!

@Tes004 ooo so strange! Maybe if nothing on the teats tomorrow/Monday, take it as a bleed and start clomid?

Hi ladies,

Hoping I can join you all? I'm 33 TTC #2 and have a daughter coming up to 2.5

I'm on CD 21 and 5DPO today and just really starting to feel the TWW drag. Wishing the days away and will probably test from 8DPO because I can't wait any longer than that 😂

This is cycle 2 but last month was no tracking or anything so wasn't surprised it wasn't successful. We've done SMEP this month which worked the first month we tried it when we were TTC our daughter.

Hope there's lots of BFPs on this thread in the next few weeks!

@BlossomTree123 it is earlier than average but I think from CD11 can be normal. I conceived my first DC from
ovulating CD11 in fact ! Usually I have EWCM for a few days then it reduces and becomes milkier a day or two before ovulation. The fertility friend app is excellent and has a charting course with lots of info on CM.

@BlossomTree123 DND should be on 😉
have fun !!

I have just packed for holiday and brought some tests although I checked the sensitivity and was 25.. showed nothing - boots strips
cm just the same only when I wipe — strange hey surly if it’s af would turn red and a flow but knowing my luck it will strike me at ‘take off’ time lol
im confused tho ,, as I have clomid to start from cd3 and if I am to treat this as a bleed ?? What if it doesn’t turn into a period - would taking my pills damage anything that could be ??? Has anyone experienced this and started clomid ??

@CurlyWurly1991 so quite early at CD11? I think CD12 is early so glad im doing opk otherwise I wouldn’t know.

does anyone know is white Cm means that you have already ovulated or if it’s near?

@BlossomTree123 go get your baby dance on!

@BlossomTree123 yep definitely a green light to DTD as much as possible now! I o’d CD 11 this cycle.

So doing my OPK easy home twice a day now, and CB once. Got a static smiley and my easy at home tonight is strong. So guessing ovulation in next 24-48 hours?
had white CM so thinking this is accurate this month? Only CD 12 today, so 3/4 days earlier than the apps thought I was!

@Tes004 yes you need some more sensitive tests to see if the line is still there and then at least you get an answer either way! Fingers crossed for you!
