Hellloo. Is anyone else starting TTC for next cycle in January? I've got a DD who's 6 but I do feel a bit like i haven't done this in a while so just wanted to chat. 🙂

@Tallgirl91 my AF arrived in full force 🥲, really starting to lose hope. We start our IVF journey next year I was really hoping we’d fall naturally before that but here we are! I hope AF has stayed away for you and you have some good news xx

So according to the apps I use just to track my cycle as it's usually quite short and it tends to irregular in September I had 3 separate periods 😵‍💫 but apparently I'm ovulating in 2 days so fingers crossed

If you're that irregular, I'd really recommend using BBT and OPKs to figure out what's going on with your cycle. App algorithms assume - if you don't add temps or OPK results - a 14 day luteal phase, which may not be the case for you.

I have no idea what kind of willpower I'll have. I'm getting impatient just waiting for ovulation🙈

Cinnamonbunn · 28/12/2024 05:15

@Yellowdaff25 I think I’m going to hold out till when AF should appear, which for me is 10 DPO. I haven’t got any tests in so at the moment it’s sounding more achievable. I’m sure if I had tests in I wouldn’t last!

@Marshmallow99 hey same as me! 33 ttc#1, mc in march . Nothing since . Also having light spotting like you right now classed it a cycle day 1 but it’s weird not having a full blown period yet & boobs are so sore too which they’re usually gone by now! bfn though x

@YKM2829 thanks! I read (on here) that pregnacare delayed peoples periods?

I’ve been taking them for the last 4 months and no issue with periods. They do make your pee luminous yellow though!

Does anyone have any vitamin recs (for males and females!?) I've heard Proceive are good? Can't remember what I took last time

I've just ordered the pregnacare max, it says for during pregnancy, but looking at the actual vitamins breakdown and how much of each I don't see anything jumping out as to why not take it now. It has everything needed and only like 9 or 10 quid on amazon. BF is gonna take them too as with a quick Google search seems he can and should be taking it all as well for good spern health too. I figure if we keep everything else no stress we can at least take 1 vitamin tablet a day 🤣

Can I join? Starting in January or February. TTC baby #2 with a different partner, got one son already but a long time ago. Much older now at 38 so not sure if it'll happen!

Hiya yes of course similar to me x

Only CD6 but I’ve had a real low left sided stitch type pain brewing. Hoping it might be my cycle actually getting on the go following mirena. Going to OPK to keep an eye just in case it’s earlier than expected!

Hi everyone, I’d love to join. I am 33, trying for baby number 1, unfortunately we’ve been trying for 18 months with no luck so far. I was wondering is 14dpo too late for implantation bleeding? I had very light spotting yesterday and usually AF would follow soon after but no signs. My boobs are extremely sore which is unusual for me, all of my tests are bfn though! X

Oh I am a pee on a stick addict. I usually use Amazon cheapies and buy in bulk🙈. But the last two cycles I have been incorporating the clear blue digital as well. Also bought on Amazon and cheaper than in Boots x

Haha same cant get enough of it haha how many cycles are you now? and will it be your first? xx

BloomingOrchidea · 27/12/2024 00:17

@Yellowdaff25 Crossing my fingers for you too ! You use the digital one? I think i did them one cycle, do they get expensive? Not sure if youve tried the strips, theyre so much cheaper. Im still using the pack I bought from my last time ttc and it took me nine months then!

I think FF is right, from the information you put in it. Technically speaking your egg releases the day after a positive OPK but you know this :) Did you test twice, morning and afternoon ? x

Show quote history

After posting my chart in another thread I also think FF is now right😅. I usually ovulate CD 17 like clockwork and I test several days leading up to this and get a gradual rise but this month I was quite shocked to see the static smile (also a blazing opk) so early! It was the first test that cycle that I did so I didn’t know if I’d caught the start or the end of the peak. Had a positive OPK the next day then negative after that x Fingers crossed😂🤞🤞

BloomingOrchidea · 26/12/2024 23:44

Yellowdaff25 · 25/12/2024 22:34

I’ll join too! I’m either 3dpo or 5dpo. I’m leaning towards 5 but FF thinks 3 x

Hey everyone may I please join? I think this is the right thread? Its ovulation day for me today so either AF arrives in Jan or ill be ready to test then !
I'm 40 and it's my 1st cycle TTC #2. Took 9 cycles of trying for DD so hopefully it wont take as long. Good luck ladies, excited to go on this journey with you all

Tallgirl91 · 26/12/2024 23:12
