Hi there currently month two ttc ... I'm 7 days post ov looking for some testing buddies. I have two little ones already , 30 and live in NI. Let the symptoms spotting and lunatic behavior commence! 😂

How is everyone?

I got a faint line on a test yesterday and today I got a faint line again but after the time limit so it’s invalid. I’m so confused! Hoping for some clearer answers soon.
How are you getting on @Eeeeek and everyone else?

Had a very very faint line yest and woke up to blood today! Quite upset . Wouldn't have minded af if I hadn't of had that faint line yest . Stupidly had started to think I was preg. Xxx

@lolacola sorry I know how you feel is like usual af? X

Yeh I think so . It's a bit more than just when I wipe . So annoyed . Gonna give the sperm meets the egg plan a go this month maybe xoxoxoxo

Sorry that af showed then sperm meets egg plan sounds like a good idea! I hope it brings you a BFP x

Thanks @hayleyfx .... just feel a bit rubbish then feel guilty I'm feeling this way when women out there including on this board have been trying longer . Xx

Sorry lolacola, you're allowed to feel a bit rubbish there will always be someone else trying for longer or doesn't already have a child but that doesn't invalidate your feelings.

Hi hayleyfx I'm ok thanks had quite a bit of spotting brown and pink blood so have been very nervous. Seems to have stopped now.

I got my af on Tuesday. I was dissapointed but it's only first month TTC and first month off the mini pill so I'm thinking positive and I'm being grateful that my cycle has returned straight away because I no it can take some people a while for there cycles to return. My oh usually works away in the week but he's doing some office work at the minute so hopefully he can stay in the office for the next few weeks so we have a better chance this month fx

@Sharnie44 hey again sharnie I think it was u I called sharpie ffs lol in same boat as me then af just arrived?

@lolacola13 Yh it was lol I never thought ide be so obsessed with TTC lol been taking seven seas TTC vitamins and did opks and temping last month and I've added evening primrose oil into the mix this month. Also used conceive plus last moth.
Have yu fount anything that has helped yu

Destressing from work and my course has helped my period stop being so late I had investigations done to see why for three cycles there it was 38-41 days long! . I study part time and just started a new job in December and then very sick with flu . All the scans and tests determined no other reason but stress. So I just made decision that nothing matters as much as my health , organized myself better re study and time management lol, boom! Periods returned to normal . I also found I was miscalculating when I ovulated I was dtd loads last month up to peak day then just once after peak and then stopped meaning if I missed ov as the egg is often not released for a day , then there was little to no sperm waiting for it . It's all a learning curve this is first month ttc . Reluctant to start temping as I'm worried il get ocd about it as I did with the opks ? Like if I noticed it was raised after ovulating convincing myself I'm preg and getting hopes up . I have a habit of convincing myself I'm preg . I'm too optimistic given it's only 20% if conceiving each month .

Yu don't realise how harmful stress can be on your body it's scary when yu think about it. I have bad ocd and anxiety so I find the temping and opks help me as I feel I have a better grip on it if that makes sense lol I just wish they taught yu more about fertility at school because it's all about don't use contraception and you will get pregnant straight away when that is just not the case. I new so little about cycles, cervical mucus etc but I'm feeling a lot more clued up now I've looked into everything

How do u stop it from completely consuming u though? I'm on my in month two and I am obsessed and ridiculously annoyed at how much money Iv spent instead of waiting for missed af?

We dtd upto 3 days before I got my positive opk because of oh working away. We didn't do it when he got back and then I stupidly realised like you that ovulation doesn't happen until after that positive opk so I was really annoyed at myself for missing our chance

I think if I didn't do it then that's when it would consume me because I would feel out of control not knowing what was happening so if I no what's happening I feel in control even though I no there is no control when TTC lol

Yes we did that too . We did it the day of peak and the next day but then that was it so if I ovulated a day or two out then I'd prob missed it . Prob asked this already but u read about Sperm meets egg plan ?

No not properly I've heard a lot of people mention it on other threads though. Have yu tried it. I'm also on month 2 lol

No but intrigued by it might give it a go n maybe try some fertility lube .

I think I'll have a read up on it lol

Hey hey .. how's u @Sharnie44 . I'm going out of my mind on cd 8... not fertile not preg. I hate this bit. Ov is usually day 18-20. Need to feel like I'm doing something :(

Hi @lolacola13 I'm totally with yu I hate this bit lol I'm cd9 today, ovulated cd17-19 last cycle, got my pos opk on cd17 so not sure how long after that I ovulated but kind of hoping I'm earlier this cycle to be in with a chance of a bfp. My bf works away but was hoping he could get next week off so we could dtd lots during fertile week but it's looking like he will be away again ☹️ how are yu getting on

Bloody rubbish. Doing cheapie opks each evening on off chance . Getting faint lines maybe ov will come earlier but looking back at cycle on my apps I have only ovulated earlier than 18 days once and that was first cycle off the coil so just a fluke. U can't change ur body's timer can u I suppose . Will be doing the deed daily from cd 13 I think .and then the waiting game . Ordered some pre seed and 20 x 10miu preg tests . Just to feel like I'm doing something. Need to feel proactive or I'll go mad but I can't keep spending money!

My google history looks so crazy at the minute lol I've actually googled how to ovulate sooner so your not the only one wondering whether this is possible lol

Oh don't even I can top that... my new thing is keeping my feet warm according to Chinese medicine . Keeps the womb warm . Wearing fluffy socks allll day errrrrday! And wrapping a throw around my feet too in front of tv Hahahaha officially lost it .
