Very very lucky to conceive DS1 first time.
AF arrived today so will be going into 5th month of trying.
Feeling a bit emotional today but trying to stay hopeful 💜
Love & hugs to all those on their TTC journey x

@Angelselevenx - i’ll keep everything crossed that this is your month 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I really hope it is for you! X
Yes, I have a DS, by some miracle we conceived him first time so I was a bit cocky second time round thinking it would happen quick again! X

@Kate3150 just typical isn't it. How are you tracking, like the Flo app or something? I haven't read much back on the forum but did I see you've got a little one already? We're you TTC long for them?

I'm okay thanks, I'm symptom spotting like mad. This month is the best chance we've given it since our chemical on cycle two, we did -5, -4, -2, 3 times on -1 and day of O. If this doesn't work (counting myself out already) I fully give up 😅 x

@Angelselevenx - no, I’ve taken the “laid back” approach but it’s obviously not working lol.
Doesnt help my cycles have ranged from 26-45 days since we have started TTC.
They were text book before and now all over the blinking place.
How are you feeling? X

Im due AF any day now, have reside myself to the fact it’s coming as feel like it is.
Worrying about everything at the moment, it not happening, age gap getting bigger etc 🤯

How are you guys getting on? I’m going into month 5 ttc #2, my af arrived a few days ago. The ttw is getting more and more difficult. I managed to conceive ds1 the first month so although I wasn’t expecting that to happen again I expected this to happen sooner 😢

Angelselevenx · 22/09/2023 22:56

@Kate3150 NHS recommends every 2-3 days so if you can up to every other day then go for it

My cycles have been all over the shop since TTC which hasn’t helped!
Weve been DTD every 3 days, I’m wondering if we should change to every 2 days? Any advice welcome x

Me too!!
Conceived DC1 on the first month of trying. Now in month 5 TTC #2 and feeling so deflated.

MissEmily5 · 22/09/2023 19:29

I’m on TTC 1, on our 2nd month of trying. Currently, in the TWW but I just know it’s not happened. I’ve been testing my ovulation since day 8 of my cycle and been negative ever since (day 17 today)… already feel so worried about it all (lots of family conceived first time round). Hope you ladies are coping okay and sending all the baby dust to you. :)

Angelselevenx · 22/09/2023 17:45

I'm TTC#1 on month 8, approaching ovulation any day now and have naturally gone for the every other day approach this month x

CatmumTTC · 22/09/2023 17:44

I'm on month 5 too, it's our first time trying so there's so much uncertainty. I never thought I would find it so hard, especially the TWW but just got sucked into tracking my cycles and symptoms! Pinterest suggested I find an online TTC community for support so I've just joined mumset today!
