Hey!

TTC our 2nd been putting it off for a while but this month I’m going to be actively trying and testing LH etc
reading other posts feels as though everyone is already in there TWW this Aug 😂 so looking for company, anyone whose still waiting for their ovulation week.

I only used BBT when falling pregnant with my first but haven’t being doing it as regularly as I did back then.
Ive been trying to take my temp the past couple of weeks and natural cycles predicting ovulation on Weds!
what’s everyone plan of attack? 😂 I’m going to use LH strips from tomorrow onwards and as soon as I get my peak start DTD! Very sceptical it’ll happen this month with it being the first official month of trying but we shall see!
Hoping for some company if anyone is at a similar stage in their cycle?

@LuckyDuck93 my AF has been so heavy this month! It does make me wonder on some of the months we’ve tried I’ve found more heavy compared to the break we had which were more lighter and shorter.
But I’m still similar timings to you 🥰 I’m back BBT tracking so should have a better idea of ovulation but at the moment saying 27th/28th

@Itonlytakesone I’ve been taking Folic Acid & Vit D since about Oct. But this cycle I’ve started on the CQ-10 which is meant to help with egg quantity. I took it for one month before I fell pregnant with my first, now I know it probably didn’t have much of any effect being one month (took in Dec fell pregnant start of Feb) or potentially no effect but I’m up for trying anything right now 😂
im trying to eat a few Brazil nuts a day as well and going to drink pomegranate juice after ovulation. I know it’s all stuff that might not make a difference but it’s all stuff I did the month I fell pregnant so I’ll try any thing!

@LuckyDuck93 @Mama09876 thanks. Do you guys take any supplements to help with egg quality or anything?

LuckyDuck93 · 16/01/2025 11:48

@Itonlytakesone really sorry to hear that 😔

@Mama09876 AF starting today for me, due to ovulate 30th/31st this month, it's actually been really nice to have a break and actually look forward to AF arriving so we can start again 😅

@Itonlytakesone so sorry to hear that! 😔 hope you’re ok.

How strange looking back mine was as well! Normally around the 12/13 CD and more like 15/16 this month.

I’ve just come on today 😔 gone from couple of months of 26 day cycles back to a 29 day this month! I was really down and gutted this morning cause I was feeling so hopefully but you gotta move on! Onwards and upwards

im due to ovulate again end of this month & this time, after 5 cycles of just going with the flow im now going full throttle back to BBT temping, ordered some CQ-10 supplements and got my fingers crossed 😂🤞🏻

@LuckyDuck93 Bring on the crazyness 😂

Thought I would give this a bump. Anyone had any success these last few months? I struggled to find my peak this month despite it always being CD 15 so will widen the testing network. I'm wondering if the Christmas break indulgence and lack of routine and exercise might have thrown it off!!

My peak was actually later this month too, wonder if the chaos of Christmas threw everything off!

@CadoAvo Congratulations❤

We took a few months off Nov/Dec but AF is due this weekend and we'll be trying again this cycle, so no doubt i'll be back to all the craziness with you all!

Itonlytakesone · 14/01/2025 11:33

I'm out 😩 having a chemical

@CadoAvo @Itonlytakesone fantastic news!! Congratulations ladies!! 🤍

I took couple of months off and I did try start of Dec but I’ve been wondering if I’ve been leaving it to late to DTD. I always tried around my peak or day of ovulation & cause I was a bit relaxed about it before we only managed DTD once in the fertile window in the cycles we tried.

So end of Dec I ovulated again and took a different approach, wasn’t tracking anything other than my cervical mucus and managed to DTD twice just before my peak. I did take one LH test just to see if I was right about timings. So I’m approx about 4/5 DPO today!

I dunno why but I’m feeling doubtful to be honest 🙈😂 but we’ll see in a few weeks!

@CadoAvo
14 weeks! Wow I'm not even 4 and having tummy pains this morning but I'm definitely just chilling out about everything what will be will be  @Mama09876 are you starting trying again?

CadoAvo · 06/01/2025 23:27

I'm now 14 weeks, can't quite believe it after 2 early miscarriages.

Fingers crossed for you all 🤞🏼

Itonlytakesone · 06/01/2025 20:22

Yes me! I actually got a bfp today I'd not stopped trying but wasn't really tracking just in total shock and now I can't think about anything else 😳

@CadoAvo this is brilliant news! Congratulations

@Itonlytakesone i feel you with a little one! I’ve got a 3 year old and she’s testing my patience recently, I can’t believe I wanna do it all over again! 😂

@LuckyDuck93 that annoying your bbt has dropped! But you’re not out till af shows! And if it helps it’s been nice having a few months off and not stressing about it all to be honest!

hey! Last 2 months I had a lot of days with CB digital flashing smileys (5-7 days) and then peak.

now on CD12 and still an empty circle.

previous 2 cycles I got the peak on day 17 and day 15, so going to start trying tomorrow

Itonlytakesone · 25/10/2024 11:55

@CadoAvo
Oh my goodness wow so happy for you!! Well done this is great news Smile

LuckyDuck93 · 25/10/2024 11:44

@CadoAvo Congratulations! Wonderful news for you, hoping you have a positive outcome this time x

CadoAvo · 25/10/2024 10:57

Hi all, sorry I've been a bit quiet. My cycle in August failed and then we had to take September off. I struggled a lot mentally during September, partly due to having to miss a cycle and other life stresses. Anyway we were back to TTC this month and got our BFP yesterday at 10dpo! 2 tests with faint lines in the morning and a digital BFP last night 🥰

On Monday I had really sensitive boobs which is really unlike me. It was gone on Tuesday but replaced by bloatiness/trapped wind feeling. But tested Monday, Tues and Wed which were all negative so thought my body was just playing tricks on me. So couldn't believe my eyes yesterday.

I'm so happy and trying to be optimistic but this is my 3rd pregnancy with first 2 ending in mc so 🤞🏼this is our sticky bean.

Good luck to all you lovely ladies 🥰

Itonlytakesone · 25/10/2024 10:02

Hi @Mama09876 @LuckyDuck93
Yeah I'm not pregnant this month I already did a couple tests bfn. I only dtd once so expected this.

Iv been struggling with dd she's 5 her behaviour so I think I'm taking a break ttc wondering if a 2nd is for me🤣.

LuckyDuck93 · 24/10/2024 20:38

@Mama09876 hope you’re doing ok and enjoying a break from trying!
I’m not feeling overly confident tbh, AF due Sunday and my BBT dropped today, bit disappointed as this will be our last month trying until after Christmas, but it is what it is!

How you all feeling ladies? You must be coming up to af due this weekend? Mines due so been thinking about you! Hope to see some positives 🥰

Itonlytakesone · 22/10/2024 14:00

@CosmoMango correction! Is was you with the bfp

not @Mama09876

Itonlytakesone · 22/10/2024 13:59

@LuckyDuck93
Hold out I drove myself mad early testing last month so a much more relaxed approach this time. Wonder how @Mama09876 is getting on! She got a bfp any news on your first scan?

LuckyDuck93 · 22/10/2024 13:44

@Itonlytakesone I feel like we've switched places, it's all I can think about this month, 10 DPO today and totally avoiding doing any sort of test until the weekend when AF is due, mainly because i'm avoiding finding out that it's not worked, I don't know why I just feel absolutely sure it hasn't this month despite DTD the 3 days up to ovulation, what a rollercoaster

Itonlytakesone · 22/10/2024 13:39

How's everyone doing?

Iv not really been thinking about it all after being totally consumed by it last month! I'm not feeling pregnant didn't try hard enough & havnt been testing I'm roughly a week post ovulation. I'm going to see how I feel next month. I just feel like af is brewing

LuckyDuck93 · 18/10/2024 16:09

Hi @Possumly, my peaks are always quite quick!
There is literally 24hrs difference between the top and the bottom test, they then drop down quite quickly too x

Anyone about to go into an ovulation week?
Firsttime2023 · 17/10/2024 16:41

Possumly · 17/10/2024 07:21

Anyone else just get a very quick surge rather than a gradual increase? Yesterday I had a very faint line on OPK and blank circle on Clearblue digital. Today I have my static smiley! I never seem to get flashing smileys. It all just happens so quick! Hope we are in with a chance. CD13 today. BD CD8, 10 and 12 as was trying to do SMEP.

Hi @Possumly I had to comment because I posted today about my OPK tests and worrying I'd missed my ovulation or it wasn't going to happen. I'm CD14 today and have had really faint OPKs, normally get a surge around CD10-12 and it gradually builds. Well today I had a really faint line this morning and then this afternoon it's nearly the same as the control! So looks like I'm having a really quick spike and later ovulation this month.
Fingers crossed for you this month 💕
