Back to SQUARE ONE CD1! Anyone want to spend April with me?!

[Tee4me]

So AF got me this afternoon!! Trying not to get down in the dumps (although I just watched 'one born every minute' on catch-up and sobbed!)
Dusting myself off and hoping for better luck in April! A few stats:
Age-33
TTC-5th cycle
DC-1 DS (3.5 years old)
Anyone else at the start of their cycle and trying something new in the hope of a more successful month?!

Morning all, welcome opalscent
I didn't POAS today - go me!!! Doing a happy dance. Boobs still tender, aching back and tired but no AF....YET! I'm going to go as long as I can without testing now. I had a stitch like pain in my left side last night (was worried in case it was ovulation again). Good luck with the diet. I just had Nutella!! 😂 told you I have zero willpower

What does the baby aspirin do?

Yeah I'm starving already. Doesn't help having 6 Easter eggs around the house that the children are working their way through

Parney and mimi I'll be testing on the 23-24 too :)

Hello everyone, can I join?

Ttc# 3. Cycle 1.

Just had my coil out. I've been tracking my cycles and temping for the last few months and I was getting a temp rise suggesting ovulation but really short luteal phase (8-10 days) so I'm taking vitamin b in addition to folic acid.

I've got some internet cheapy opk sticks, planning on starting soon but I'm a bit dubious. My fw has been a bit all over the place but I usually get a temp drop the day before ovulation do hopefully will get some warning.

Footprints baby aspirin helps with implantation, for those that have had chemical pregnancies and mcs. I guess I should say it should be done under doctor supervision tho!
Hello newcomers!
I feel a bit crap today. Thought I would ovulate late yesterday (had a temp rise first thing) or early today, feeling really achy, crampy and generally pretty weak! Never felt like this on ovulation day before. Worried my ovaries are trying to release an egg but can't. I feel so faint and the pain is spreading down my legs. Can't face eating either. Anyone else experienced this around ovulation???

I get painful ovulation too. Can really feel the pain in my ovaries (generally only one sided) feels like AF cramp. I get bloating, sore nipples and aching lower back. How long u been off pill Tee? My gp says pain is because my ovaries might still be half asleep from the pill.

So many POAS buddies, what will we be like when the time comes?! I'm already impatient 🙈 well done Jod, keep away from the sticks!
Diet started today, going well so far. It's so easy at work but when I get home there is temptation everywhere! Feeling determined, hope it lasts.
Tee I can't help at all, although I did feel like that mid cycle for the last few months I was on the pill? Thought it was my body telling me it was time to quit!

Tee I get painful ovulation too. It's like a stitch and it's so strong it makes me feel sick. I had to go to bed on 28th as I was in agony with it.
Thanks Parney! I think I would be due AF today and I still resisted ☺️

Thanks ladies, I've been off the pill since last summer, but we didn't start TTC until December. Never had this before. I'm in agony on both sides and shivering like a leaf. My weird rash is still hanging about too, it's like my body is going on strike and saying stop stressing!!!!!
Jod you're being very disciplined. FX everything is progressing nicely 😊

Hi nimisha what day of your cycle are you on? Do you know when AF is due? I would try and wait until then to test if you can, if you test too early you can get a false negative.

parney I'm impatient too this month. I was more relaxed last month and thought I had reached new zen approach to ttc. I haven't.

tee that sounds awful! Take it easy.

Still getting lots of abdominal twinges today. Might try and get on more DTD out of DH tonight in case it is ovulation. I think it's probably too late though - with a positive OPK on Thursday?

suchaJem it won't hurt To do it anyway

tee I'm expecting a BFN so that's why holding off isn't so difficult. I'm really feeling sick this afternoon and so tired. Boobs are on fire 🔥 The witch is likely about the appear with avengence 😒😡

Better safe than sorry sucha,best dtd 1more time just incase.

Sorry for how u feeling tee .hope it eases off by tmrw. I get ov pains too. Cramps and nausea (as if I wr pregnant)

jod fx it's a bfp hun!! Another day or two fx.

Well-done parney on the diet. Hope u can keep the willpower!!

Hello nimisha good luck ttc. Hope it's short and sweet

AF got me yesterday but I'm feeling positive this month! OPK tests arrived this morning and instead of being disappointed I took it as a new start and a new opportunity. DH is worried I'm going to set a DTD timetable

Nimisha, b6 is supposed to be good for short leutal phase. I know someone who took 100mg a day and her leutal phase doubled! Good luck. Can give you cramps on an empty stomach.

I'v had pains today feels like ov- opks have dark lines but I've not had any EWCM ? So am confused if I'm ov'ing or not. DTD just incase yesterday, day before and will pin him down tonight just incase! Thinking my LH is up but not ovulating?! I'm only on cd10
Anyone else get no EWCM? I got it last month? But on cd23. Weird

Good positive thinking racja.

Welcome to all the new ladies!! Think I'm going to write a list of people on a pad with their cd days and ov so I know who is doing what when !

Few ladies ahead of me in their cycle so can't wait for your 2ww with symptom spotting etc.. So exciting.. This could be a lucky thread

That's a clever idea footprints you don't want to be constantly asking what CD? 😂

Lately not much ewcm. More watery than anything (sorry tmi). You best pin dh. U just might be ov.

Sorry racja for af
Good luck this month

CD15 Maybe we should start some of our messages (if you think it and not when posting lots in one day) with our CD? Incredibly anal but saves a lot of scrolling back and repeat questions! I don't know!
This part of the cycle has actually gone quite quickly this month for me, it's the 2ww I'm worried about! I suppose I'm technically in it?!
My problem when dieting is I tend to drink more coffee! Barely drink it otherwise but when I've no treats I appreciate the hot drinks more! Very aware of reducing caffeine levels though, can't win!

Yay!! I'm finally on CD1!!! Hurray! Only 7 days late... grrr..

Officially TTC cycle #1!!!

B6 worked for me! I had an 8 day LP cycle before last. I started taking B6 about CD31 and I ended up with a 10 day LP! Whoop! I am only on 50mg (and taking it with B12) because I have read that high doses can cause nerve damage if taken for a long time (several years)...

I clearly am not relaxed about this, so I can sympathise with the upset opalescent! Racja, I totally already have the timetable sorted! I live by timetables!

Ah physicskate!!! Great news you're officially getting started!!

CD 19

Footprints does sound like you're ovulating if you've got a positive plus ov pains. Def get on the DTD case if you can!

I don't know if I can face DTD again tonight... We had so much last week my hips hurt! Tmi!

CD 28 (I think)

Footprints with my second DC I didn't get much EWC, I don't think it's necessary!

CD10. I'm loving this idea of the CD. Keep it up ladies, it's very helpful.

CD19

Wow there's so many of us now I'm losing track! I wish on the app you could go back to all the posts but it seems to only go back to the very last one. I forget who to reply too. I remember what people said so may not put names... Apologies in advance.

Parney, i also want more hot drinks when dieting.. But I drink berry tea from aldi and peppermint tea.

Suchajem have you tried another opk? It does seem a bit late to be ovulating if you had opk on Thursday. I think it can take upto 72 hours to ovulate. Although I've read different things as some say that and some say between 12 and 36 hours. Your pains sounded like ovulation to me though as the egg wouldn't have implanted that early but I'm no expert and probably wrong. Have to give them hips another workout just in case...!
I've actually just realised I'm exactly same CD as you .. I had my peak opk on Wednesday.

I'm 4 or 5 dpo now I think. Not sure when I ovulated exactly. No symptoms at all for me yet. How early do you think you can get symptoms?

When people have a temperature dip before ovulation, what on average does it dip to?

I don't get ewcm really - mainly like water
