Back at the start of another TWW… anyone else at the same point and fancy being TWW buddies?
We have tried the SMEP method and conceive plus lubricant this month, time will tell if they have made a difference!🤞🏼

Afternoon! I think 1dpo (I take clomid and usually ovulate today but nothing!) but had this 2 days ago. What do we think? A quick peak? If so I’m also 1dpo. But I’m not sure this month. Bit worrying as I have to take progesterone when I’ve ovulated and not sure whether to take it or leave it another day!

1dpo, anyone else?

@thejollytrolleydolly Sending you all the positivity and luck!!! How are you feeling at 4dpo?

Hey guys I'll jump on this one! I'm 4DPO today and on cycle 21 😵‍💫 I'm famously crap at making babies (3 years to conceive number 1) but it's possible so hanging on to hope! I've majorly changed my diet and lifestyle recently to try and help so we will see 🤞🏽 if not it's always nice to see other people's BFP's 😊 come one number 2!!!

hi I’m new here can I join? I’m 2dpo so similar time frames!
we dtd days 8,11,13 and 15 so definitely in the fertile window. I had ewcm and that’s my usual sign.
Didn’t use ov strips this time as we conceived before on day 12 from only one time, sadly that ended in a miscarriage at 9 wks. This is our first month ttc after that. Feeling hopeful but trying to prepare myself incase it hasn’t happened.

Sometimes I think I must be crazy trying for number 3! Im suprised my hubby has agreed to it.We have two boys, 2.5yo and 7 month old. We're going for the smaller age gap to get it out the way since we already don't sleep 🫠 .
My first was also a suprise 😂 2nd took 6 cycles which included two chemicals, there devastating, sorry to hear you also had 2. I think there actually alot more common than realised, it's just that women don't generally talk about it

I'm unsure how I feel, I'm using OPKs and got a nice peak this month and we did manage to dtd on 2 high fertile days so 🤞. I don't think I ovulated last cycle as I had a fever and didn't get much of a peak.

Trying not to symptom spot as with my second I actually had 0 symptoms, everytime I think I have systems it ends in a bfn 🙃
Here's hoping it's our cycle.

It really does!🥺
I don’t think it ever gets easier when trying, this will by my third too! I’ve got a 7 year old girl and a 2 year old boy. It’s nice to speak to someone who’s trying for their third too!
My first was completely unplanned but a lovely surprise, so there was no testing or waiting! My son took 14 months to conceive, really hope it’s not as long this time🥺. We’re on month 7 this time with two chemicals.
AF due around the 24th for me but let’s hope neither one appears. Are you feeling positive this month?

@Emiily887 I really do hate the 2ww. I swear time stops and it just takes over my mind. Since this is will be our 3rd I was hoping I'd be able to relax but apparently not 😅.
Af should be due around the 21st, plus or minus a few days.
Will this be your first?

@Kiwiburgh fingers crossed this is both of our months!🤞🏼
I always struggle in the TWW, it really drags its feet! I went looking for preseed but couldn’t find it so thought we’d try conceive plus, I think they both do the same thing though! When is AF due for you?

I'm 3dpo today. This is cycle number 4 for us. We dtd 2 days and 1 day before ovulation. We also dtd 1 day after ovulation but I don't think that counts as fertile 🤷‍♀️
We've used preseed this cycle after hearing others say it worked for them but it just seems to be a different brand of fertility friendly lube.
