I'm CD1 today. AF came this morning. This is our 3rd cycle TTC #2.

Anyone else want to join me?

@LateNightTalk it's such a big process. When I conceived my daughter I didn't even find my peak but I did dtd every day during the ball park.

I'm still finding my cycle at the moment but I think I'm gonna have to do the same or at least every other day from cd10 - hubby is gonna be so excited!

I found OPK testing successful after trying to find my peak for a couple of months.. I found keep testing 2/3 times daily around mid cycle and boom got it! Went down a few hours later so was lucky to catch it.. but as you can see not enough BD in my window.. 🤦🏻‍♀️
But stage 1- find my peak complete!

Good luck all 🤞🏻

Anyone else CD1?

Welcome @LateNightTalk I hope you have some luck soon!

I find body temp checking so tough too! I either forget or I just don't have time between work and my 1yo!

This is going to be my first month of proper OPK checking. This whole process can be so stressful but hopefully we can be here to support each other!

@imy thank you..
I had my coil removed in December and started using ovulation test strips last 3 months although only truly found my peak this month which is why I was probably more upset this morning!
Have tried to temp but it's hard as I work shifts and my body clock isn't the most normal!

Welcome @LateNightTalk ! Every cycle feels like such a long time and so I can imagine that 6 months feels like absolutely ages. What approach do you take, do you do LH tests?

I'm CD1 of TTC #1 this will be my 6th cycle and it's beginning to get me down!! Hoping this cycle will be the one 🤞🏻 trying my best to stay positive!

How weird that we’re so similar! Why do you think it’ll be more difficult this time?

@imy my daughter is also April!!

We got pregnant first time round too but can already tell it's going to be a bit more difficult this time around

@gormlessgoldilocks Ah exciting! I think tracking does make a big difference so fingers crossed for this time :)

My daughter has just turned 1 too, in April. We've always wanted them close in age for lots of different reasons and it definitely feels like the right time for us now. I got pregnant first cycle last time so I am hoping it'll be quick this time but obviously I know that second time round can be very different!

@imy woohoo! Fingers crossed for you. I say it's our third cycle but we haven't really been trying as of yet. I didn't even know when I ovulated this month! But properly going to track this time.

My kid is only just 1. We are starting early in case it takes us some time! What about you? How old is yours?

I came on here to see if anyone had posted one of these! I am CD1 today of our first proper TTC cycle for baby number 2. I came off the pill in April so I’ve had one cycle already. We tried to be relatively careful but I did end up really hoping we’d ’accidentally’ got pregnant even though we weren’t technically TTC haha. (The reason I wanted to wait until now is because we’ve got a few exciting things in June and I know from my last pregnancy that I wouldn’t want to be in the midst of my first trimester for them. Very early on is fine, but not week 6/7 onwards 🤢.) Anyway, sorry for the life story! How old is your first? 😊
