Couldn’t find a thread so thought to create one and see who else will join the community! Preparing to start TTC early October based on my cycle. TTC: baby no.2 Age : 29 average cycle is 28 days for me 😊

Hi all,

hope its ok to jump in!

TTC #1 we’re on cycle 3 of trying. Got my LH surge yesterday so ovulating today/tomorrow at the latest so BD today and tomorrow to wrap it up, before we did every 2-3 days.

so officially on the TWW as of tomorrow!

been obsessing over it the first two cycles we tried but this month has been very chill. BBT is proving very accurate for me so far so I’m not planning to test unless temps stay up on AF day. Seeing negative tests is very disheartening so I’d rather not.

We had another thread going but most of us either got their bfps by now or we all in different parts of cycles even tho we started the same times a few months ago , just to show how different it can be for each person 😂

its nice to have others to talk to as we’re not telling anyone we’re trying either.

sending baby dust to all ✨

Goodluck everyone!

I forgot how much I dislike TTC, I have ADHD so trying to remember to take prenatals, test, log data etc is hard….but at the same time my slightly obsessive side is like ‘must….log….all…the….things’ 🙄🤪

My estrogen levels have risen then fallen a little, and then risen again the last few days. But my LH continues to be zip. So in short I have no idea what’s happening. I’m thinking maybe I’ll ovulate the first couple of weeks in October? Or maybe not 😅

Joining this thread as I think I'm out for September 😔

Took a test today at roughly 13 dpo, AF due in two days. Can't see anything on it.

It might still be too soon. Wait a little longer maybe try again next week?

hicketypickety · 22/09/2023 21:57

@wanderlustre this has happened to a few people I know! Best of luck

Fingers crossed for us all for a lucky October!!!

Hello! Never joined one of these threads before so apologies if I'm not doing it right.

Been TTC for over a year. Absolutely bugger all so far except two random out of cycle bleeds (no BFP so doubt they were chemicals). Had basic fertility tests at the hospital in May and finally have a follow up appointment scheduled for 31st October!

Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday. I never seem to get a positive OPK but I had a small peak on Wednesday and then had cramps yesterday. DH and I managed to DTD so I'm officially in the 2 week wait now. Hoping we might be one of those couples that it happens for just as they get to the front of the queue for help.

Is being up and down emotional a sign of ovulation?

It's predicting ovulation next Thursday and saying the window guesstimate is tomorrow for 1 week.
I've not been logging too well either as I've been away for work with absolutely terrine signal.
I'm back now and we will DTD today and hopefully every day for the next week. 🙏 I really hope the app is right. We are away next weekend but will struggle to find any time to so hopefully this week is fertile week!

Ahh fingers crossed for you! We’re quite close then :) just a week behind you!

Hey slipping in here

Baby number 2
30 years of age
Just come off my IUD last month so not expecting anything. Especially seen as I just recently finished a 12 day period. And I heard it can take up to 3 months before everything goes back to normal. Still trying though.

😵‍💫

Monkeymonkeymoo · 22/09/2023 13:16

Please can I join too.
It’s my first cycle TTC number 3.

I’m 1-2DPO and planning to test next Sunday so I’ll just about count as TTC October!

I’m thinking to use the App for the first 2 cycles and then will look into OPKs 😊I managed to find my old record when I was TTC last time, it happened on cycle 2 & we dtd from day after AF flow ended, for a week, every other day. Good luck to you also!!

OP posts:

DoloresOnTheDottedLine · 22/09/2023 08:39

Will you use OPKs @beaniesunrise, or just the app and see how you get on? Good luck!

So this is odd.. I started AF on Tuesday instead of Monday as predicted (fine I guess not far off), but now AF is ending today.. 4 days later, normally it’s usually 6 days every month except the odd month a year when it varies from either 5-9days as part of normal changes in the cycle. Now I’m thinking maybe I’ll ovulate earlier but I read that ovulation date is based on the first day of AF.
CD4 for me today, let’s see if I can catch ovulation this month! Current expected day is 2nd Oct ahah

TTCnewbies · 21/09/2023 21:15

Gosh seeing how varied everyone ovulates, it's making me think we should be testing for ovulation?! I was just going to go by the guesstimate on the glow app and DTD for about a week around ovulation prediction?! I think this month will be a see what happens but perhaps will test next month. I have pretty regular cycles, 28/29 days.

Sleepysheepish · 21/09/2023 02:26

@spacewitch10 maybe buys some cheapie LH tests? And a BBT thermometer! The apps can be pretty inaccurate I’ve found!

spacewitch10 · 20/09/2023 22:49

@Sleepysheepish no didn't track bbt, so could very well be that and I've miss calculated, but every month without fail I get that mittelschmerz pain when I ovulate and the ewcm before, it also always ties in with my predictive ovulation date too on the apps I use. So that's how I normally track ovulation. I guess I'll dtd tonight just incase 😂

@hicketypickety 😂😂 it's crazy isn't it?! Literally the only thing I can think about!

hicketypickety · 20/09/2023 22:19

@spacewitch10 I hear you I think everyone quickly slides into insane territory 😂😂

Sleepysheepish · 20/09/2023 22:16

I’m cycle day 14, no sign of an LH surge yet. My last ovulation was on cycle day 36 so hoping it doesn’t take that long 🥲

Anyone else using a Mira? I bought one secondhand a few months back, my E3G has risen this morning which maybe could indicate my body is thinking about doing something? Maybe

Sleepysheepish · 20/09/2023 22:02

@spacewitch10 how did you confirm ovulation? If it wasn’t BBT could it be you’re maybe actually ovulating after your LH surge?
