CD1 - who's with me

Hi!

Just hoping for some company as I start again on CD1 today!

I'm ttc baby 2, this is my second cycle trying! My daughter took just under 12 months to conceive so I'm hopeful I can get pregnant a bit quicker this time, especially as my daughter is already 4.

This month I'm taking proceive max, high dose Omega 3, and CoQ-10 and hoping to achieve 10,000 a day to help with obsessing less 😂

Promised myself this cycle I will. Not. Test. Early 🫣

Last cycle was 25 day cycle, I'm usually between 25 and 28 days! Tracking BBT and using OPKs ☺️

Hello everyone,

I'm CD14 and 4DPO today.

@Henski That must be really frustrating! I hope you get your peak soon!

@Bb542 Congratulations!!💓 Have you started taking baby aspirin?

Sending baby dust to everyone and fingers crossed this is our month🤞🏼

Bb542 · 25/09/2024 18:43

Hi ladies. I actually ended up testing positive at 11/12dpo. I was shocked. Hopefully see you all in the June 2025 thread very soon 🤞🏼🩷🩵 sending baby dust to you all x

@HelloItsMeAgainHello I use boots pee on sticks but I also track bbt with OvuSense to make sure I definitely ovulated

Tadpolecat · 25/09/2024 15:57

@HelloItsMeAgainHello I use both the easy@home cheapies and the clearblue digital with the smiley faces. Got me pregnant first cycle last time so I'm hoping they do the same magic this time!

HelloItsMeAgainHello · 25/09/2024 15:31

What ovulation tests is everyone using? For my last pregnancy I used the clear blue with the smiley face. They are pretty spendy for something you pee on 😂😅 but are they the best?

Hi All, how’s everyone doing? CD 16 and still waiting to ovulate, feel like it’s going to be a long cycle !

Tadpolecat · 22/09/2024 19:31

@HelloItsMeAgainHello yes, I get you! Mine is 2yrs 8 months

HelloItsMeAgainHello · 22/09/2024 19:25

@Tadpolecat he is 2. I think when you fall pregnant so fast the first time if you don't the second time it can be panicking. Which is why I'm hoping support will help. How old is your son?

Tadpolecat · 22/09/2024 18:21

@HelloItsMeAgainHello i fell on my first cycle with our son. I feel the same as you. I think we were lucky and it probably won't happen first time again, but who knows! Doing exactly the same so 🤞 . I'm turning 34 during my 2 week wait! How old is your first?

HelloItsMeAgainHello · 22/09/2024 14:46

@Tadpolecat how long did it take for baby 1. I got pregnant on cycle 2 with number 1 but I don't think it's gonna be that fast this time

Tadpolecat · 22/09/2024 13:57

Very similar to me @HelloItsMeAgainHello ! This is my first month trying for our second! CD15.
Welcome😃

HelloItsMeAgainHello · 22/09/2024 13:15

Hi! Am I okay to join. I am currently CD12. This is my first month of trying to conceive baby number 2!

Tadpolecat · 22/09/2024 09:38

Morning all.
Mine have been so low for the past 4 days. This morning (CD15) to my surprise I have my first high OPK and a static smiley! Was not really expecting it to be so sudden. Not sure we've done it enough as DTD only CD11 and CD14, and again tonight hopefully. We did it a lot more on the lead up to it with our first baby, but should be the important days covered🤞

Henski · 22/09/2024 07:58

Morning guys, CD 13 today. All my opk for the last 5 days have been 50% colour, annoying. Defo haven’t ovulated as BBT is still low. It is my first cycle after miscarriage so maybe that’s why it’s delayed.

amichel · 21/09/2024 22:02

I'm CD 10 today. Thank you and the same for you! Dreading the TWW already😅

Ohhh I see! I think I was getting confused with baby aspirin as I think that's one to take after ovulation.
I conceived last month without taking anything however it was a chemical pregnancy, so hopefully it'll be good news this month.
I had symptoms last month that were very unusual for me. Acid reflux and heartburn the day before BFP, I had hot flushes two days before BFP. I'm hoping those symptoms return x

@amichel nice dark line!! What CD are you today again? Keeping everything crossed for you 🥰

Noo so the cough syrup you take before ovulation, it's only supposed to help thin out cervical mucus. Keeping everything crossed for you that this is your month, but if not, you'd take it 3/4 days before you think you're going to ovulate and then stop on the day of or day after ovulation!

@sellingupslow

They look like good OPKs! Sending baby dust to you.
I had a peak OPK yesterday and a strong OPK today. I've had a lot of cramping and back pain so I think I may have ovulated today. EWCM yesterday so fingers crossed this is the cycle!🤞🏼✨

Great thanks! I'm going to pick some up tomorrow. Should I take it until AF is due?x

Hi again,
I’m CD7 and AF has just about disappeared. I’ve bought a Fertilily cup to try this cycle and hope it helps. Not sure on the dark ovulation tests I’m afraid, I guess just keep testing and see what happens!

Hey everyone!

I'm CD8 today and did my first OPK, it seems pretty dark for cd8!

How are you all doing?

I think the medicine you're looking for is any cough syrup with Guaifenesin in it, I think Benilyn is the one you need!
