I have searched and can’t find a thread for anyone who’s Ttc this month!
I’ll be onto month 4 since I had a mmc of trying to conceive! I won’t lie when AF showed yesterday I had a full blown meltdown about it and felt like I would never get pregnant when in reality 3 months really isn’t that long!
I am very lucky to already have 2 wonderful little boys age 7 &3 but really would like a 3rd to make out family complete!

@ThelastRolo20 they were really regular for a couple of years before first babe! He is nine months now, I have only had two periods so may be trying it a bit sooner than my body would like.

@TicklishDreamer I was open to a very small age gap tbh, I've a close friend with "Irish twins" and I thought that would've been nice 😂

@RT1989 Is this your first time doing bbt? I’m don’t really have knowledge with charts like this. Maybe try opening a new thread?

@RT1989 Do you use opks as well? It doesn’t look like you ovulated. The temps after ovulation are supposed to be higher.

Thanks for responding @emmatcc1 and @ThelastRolo20

yes I used OPKs - shown as the blue symbols on the pic - I used clear blue digital 4 days :) my son has been having more night wakes so not sure I can 100% rely on the temps being accurate.

Hi girls! Wondered if anyone could please help. I am so confused by my bbt - really trying with it this month… it’s our 3rd cycle TTC our second. Really appreciate any insight people may have xxx
Readding with image!!

I'm afraid I'm no help whatsoever. All I know is temp is meant to rise past ovulation, and stay there apart from a slight dip at implantation? 🤷🏻

I'm sure someone with more knowledge will come along shortly x

Hi all! Joining but i might "miss" may. Unpredictable cycles here.

I'm am breastfeeding my first baby, so my cycle is all over the place. Does anyone have experience of conceiving while breast feeding?

Ovulated late so expecting period Saturday as usually come on 14 days after ovulation, which will make this cycle 37 days. I did a pregnancy test yesterday which was negative so feeling quite sad.

Hoping for better chances later this month!

Unfortunately I can't help, my periods did return with BF but I was cutting down quite a lot. They were regular though so assuming a bit of BF doesn't have an impact! Were your cycles unpredictable before your first, or just at the moment? X

@km9371 welcome! I don’t have any experience trying while breastfeeding I’m not that brave to have them so close together 🙈
@QuantumPanic I ovulate really early so hopefully OPKs will help you know exactly when you ovulate!

I'll join too! CD5 today. Think we totally mistimed it last month/suspect I ovulated much earlier than I thought. Have bought some OPKs - interested to see what they turn up.

I measured my bbt this morning and it read at 37.1, I’ve never had bbt this high before. Also for the past three days I’ve been waking up drenched in sweat. Fingers crossed these are good signs.

Noisinmaro · 01/05/2024 23:41

Another thing is I cleaned the fridge dumped things i thought might be causing a sour smell even though in date and cleaned bins out lately as im obsessed I can smell them really bad and hubby was like I don't get the smell......anyways no harm........

We've been trying years not since Xmas, been to fertility clinic had tests, hycosy, was meant to go back but didn't like consultant very abrupt and could have done without it as I knew the risks and all that Jazz wanted help a little hope.... silly I know but it was like a block and in back of mind i was like i need to find another clinic but didnt get finger out to do it....the only reassurance i had was he said there was no reason i couldnt get pregnant naturally apart from hubby had ED which was a totally different problem we overcame with a Psycotherapist took years just kept trying ourselves so really am praying all goes well, best of luck to everyone....

Noisinmaro · 01/05/2024 12:32

Yeah very happy compared to very terrified each other month, its really hard I can honestly say that feeling every month of a period is very sad for me when I wanted a positive but try keep the faith its the hardest thing but I always said to hubby sure next month it will work....but I was always very scared.....I've used the ovulation tests since Xmas...one moth I used boots but other months was clear blue and I started getting flashing very early so I started dtd earlier whereas I thought I ovulated later so for me the clear blue ovulation tests were what guide me to dtd earlier......

@ThelastRolo20 usually on day 16/17 so it's definitely too early now. What about you?🥰

I'm usually around day 16 but I think I was day 13 or 14 this month just by symptoms. I've been taking coQ10 which I think anecdotally can bring it forward for some! You can get EWCM up to 5 or so days before I think 😊

I’m trying nothing new just same as every other month! We eat pretty healthy anyway because my other half is on a meal plan from
his PT and training for great north run so I just take the vitamins! Just hoping one of these months I’ll just fall on!

oooo exciting for those in the TWW! Hopefully we start seeing some BFPs!
