Just starting TTC

Hello we’ve just started TTC baby number 2 and I wondered if there was anyone else in a similar situation who fancied supporting each other? Everyone very welcome, baby number 1 or 100! I just remember how nice it was to have people to share crazy symptom spotting and commiserate unsuccessful cycles with last time. I’ve joined a few other threads and whilst they seem really friendly and supportive it feels a bit like I’m crashing a party where everyone else already knows each other so thought I’d try starting my own thread in the hope of finding someone else who felt the same.

@Lou12387 currently in the TWW too! 6 or 7 DPO, we were away so I didn’t track this time. Also trying very hard not to test early…

Hi! I'm ttc #2 too. I stopped taking my pills last month on the 10th, had a withdrawal bleed so basicaly this is my first cycle.
Currently 4 dpo according to my apps as i was not tracking anything.

Hi @PurpleSpottedLeopard I'll join too :)

Also TTC no2. Currently 5dpo so in the TWW - going to try and hold off testing for as long as possible but not sure I'll be very good at that!

Where abouts are you in your cycle? x

I had it done at a local independent place close to me but had also considered window to the womb as they offer them too! I would totally recommend even if it just gives you piece of mind :) x

Hi @Em3009 and @DaisyChain505 lovely to have you both here. Sorry that you’ve both been having difficulties I hope you get the answers that you need soon.

Where did you get your scan done @Em3009 ? It took us over a year last time so I’m wondering if I need to be a bit more proactive this time about checking everything is ok.

Stopped taking my pill in Dec, still haven’t had a period.

waiting on a referral for investigation.

@PurpleSpottedLeopard I’ll join you! Currently TTC 1 - started trying October, now waiting on the doctors as it looks like I might have PCOS from a private fertility scan I had done x
