TTC October 2023

Possibly might have ovulatrd yesterday. I sometimes get ovulation cramping. And I was cramping yesterday. Baby danced the night before.
Decided to use the Ava bracelet I got previously out of desperation. This says I am currently in my period of high fertility.
Husband wanted to get it on last night but played on the PC until 11pm. And I was too tired at that point.
Ans today its bloody boiling I'm our house, so unlikely he will be into it.
Ah well. We are only at the start. And we said we wouldn't put pressure on it this time.
Ever since we had my son my libido has been much lower anyway. I don't know if it was all the stress of trying beforehand, the disastrous birth or smthg hormonal. Anyone else experience this?

So sorry 😞 sending hugs!

@FigandHoney thank you 😊 so we actually only use condoms so I'm somewhat familiar with my cycle (I think!) I'm definitely still learning about all the mucus stuff and what it means though. I'm going to try not to go to crazy with obsessing but I know ehat I'm like. Glad to have you all to sound off!

Thank you @beaniesunrise . Yes. Fingers crossed 🤞

@TTCnewbies My main advice as annoying / cliche as it is, is to try not to stress about it. We conceived the month we stopped trying and I drank a whole lot 🙈 Easier said then done. Also try to get to know your body off contraception. Average cycle length. How long are your periods/ how heavy. And watch out for signs of ovulation / fertility. Egg white mucus. I actually get ovulation pain.
@Anotheranxiousone I am so sorry about your miscarriage. Hope you conceive your rainbow baby quickly

@Ks2023 Best of luck to you this month. But, I don’t know how much to believe those reports of success. Soy did nothing for me the first time I used it TTC baby1. But this time, TTC baby2, Soy isoflavones pushed my cycle to 35 days with a very late ovulation, if at all (very small rise in LH levels on easy@home sticks).

Hi can I join! TTC #2. Just had a miscarriage at 6 weeks 3 days and bleeding almost stopped. Counting first day of bleeding (2nd September) S day 1 of this cycle. Usually have 28 day cycle but expecting things to be different at least for this one if not for a few. Will start temping and ovulation sticks next Friday/once I’ve got a completely negative pregnancy test and go from there!

Me please 👋
Never ttc before so no idea how successful we will be. Have been stalking these threads for tips but think I should probably just see what happens for the first few months. Definitely keen for this thread though for a sounding board with others who are trying!

I've been tracking cycle for 3 months or through glow but haven't done any ovulation tests so not sure how accurate my ovulation prediction is!

Excited to hear from others!

Hello 👋 Was looking for a TC thread to join.
We just started trying for our second baby. DS is 3 years old.
Took us a year and a bit last time to conceive. It all got very stressful.
Do we told ourselves we aren't putting any pressure on it this time. But we Bded for the first time yesterday, and here I am joining a TTC thread and looking things up.
So we will see if I can try not to stress about it this time.

Hi. TTC for 1.5 years with 1 chemical back in February
currently going through fertility testing hope to find out what’s wrong with me but my doctor think my follicles don’t mature properly 😢 first months trying soy isoflavones based on FF report 75% women got pregnant first months after soy. Will see end of September if it’s will make any difference

Hello! We’ve been trying for a while, no children previous. I have endo.. had one BFP chemical in November but looking forward to the next cycle as we have a fertility appointment on 21st sept and I’m not sure what the outcome of it will be but it feels a step in the right direction. I’ve decided that there’ll be no more ovulation tests or symptom spotting (after being pretty certain I’d get a BFP this month, and not) so here’s to a overly laid back October 😂🙏🤞👀 and hopefully a few BFPs on the thread xx
