I know a few people will unfortunately be joining me eventually so I figured I'd get this bus going.
My cycles are crazy and averaging 60 days and I don't think I've ovulated yet so I'm out for April.

Age: 27
TTC: #1
Cycle: #4 (month 8)
CD: #25

Not holding much hope for conception at the moment but I've got to wait until August anyway.
Such an optimistic person to start the new bus!

@SP84 34 really isn't ancient 🙊

@Countrygirl94 absolutely isn't 😣 it will happen tho 😊 positive vibes n' all that!

@winterwarmers that's interesting I might do the same as mine is only 10-12days , more near the 10 mark tho!

@SunshineAndRainbows6 do you track BBT or are you just going by when the app tells you you should ovulate?

winterwarmers · 26/04/2018 09:02

@xLauraa it's just worth a try as the month before i had a faint bfp then af came so maybe it didn't implant properly due to short lp

xLauraa · 26/04/2018 09:30

@winterwarmers yeah I've read that shorter LP is more likely to lead to miscarriage
Will give it a go! Where did you get yours

TheMagicTorch · 26/04/2018 09:33

Can I jump on the bus ladies! I'm a new member, OH and I decided it was the time to start trying for a baby. I came off my pill end of March, had my withdrawal bleed for 5 days or so. Using Clue app to track cycle etc.

Even though I knew it was unlikely for it to happen as soon as I came off the pill I was so disappointed yesterday when AF appeared. Promised myself that whatever happens will happen and we won't be "trying" too hard.. well that went straight out the window!!

Age: 29
TTC: #1
Cycle: #1
CD: #28 (I think)

SunshineAndRainbows6 · 26/04/2018 09:38

@clairehr I haven't personally used it but I have read some other forums with good reviews! One lady had been trying for over a year and used it one month and got her BFP! So it can't hurt to try aayyyeee 😁🤞🏻

@xlauraa As this is our first proper month of TTC I haven't really been doing anything like that... I have been using the apps and checking my CM! Might start doing my BBT if nothing happens this month... I have been keeping an eye on mum RHR using my Fitbit which I wear all the time so thought there's no harm in seeing if I see a pattern...😂 What about you? Do you use anything?

What about everyone else too? 🤔😀

winterwarmers · 26/04/2018 09:40

@xLauraa holland and barrett :)

xLauraa · 26/04/2018 09:46

@TheMagicTorch Welcome 💕
Firstly. You'll be CD2 if AF arrived yesterday!
Secondly. We all say it, that we're not gonna do this that and the other and then it happens😂 stay positive!

TheMagicTorch · 26/04/2018 09:49

@xLauraa Thank you! And thanks for the tip! This is all so new to me.
Thank you x

Wingingit321 · 26/04/2018 09:52

Jumping on!
Ttc#3 cycle 4
Due 13th of May
I conceived first month with both boys so this feels like it’s tsking forever .

xLauraa · 26/04/2018 09:53

@SunshineAndRainbows6 so the Apps are 100% not accurate in when you ovulate. The rule is that a woman with a 28 day cycle will ovulate on day 14 but that's absolute crap😂 we're all different, have different length cycles and will ovulate on different days of our cycles.
If you WANT to be more accurate you can track BBT, but the only thing with that is that you only know AFTER you have ovulated. I used to do it but only to check I was Ovulation and to see if there was a pattern - which there wasn't - but I just cba doing it now 🙊😂

I also check my RHR as it tends to go alongside my BBT ... I shall post pics to show you 😊 see below.

Forgot to add I ovulate Saturday. When DH away. Helpful!! Going to dtd tonight, tomorrow just before he goes and when he gets back on Sunday. I have pcos and irregular cycles sometimes so exact o day is hard to predict. Trying to dtd every other all month but increase it a little bit when I think I’m ovulating

ClumsyFool · 26/04/2018 10:44

We used pre seed for the first time last cycle so can’t really judge it yet but I quite liked it so happy to carry on using it during fertile windows. My lp has certainly shortened since I had a chemical pregnancy in my first cycle. I tend to ovulate on day 15 or 16 and my last 2 cycles have only been 24 days. Does this mean an egg is unlikely to have time to implant if fertilised? I take a pre pregnancy multi vitamin that has B6 in it, it’s 100% of the rda but wondering if the supplements some of you mentioned have a higher amount in maybe?

xLauraa · 26/04/2018 13:20

@ClumsyFool short LP is due to lack of progesterone in the body which results in the uterus lining not being thick enough to implant a fertilised egg. Or it may get implanted but just not be able to stay implanted -- as far as I'm aware

ClumsyFool · 26/04/2018 13:23

Thank you @xLauraa that’s really helpful, helps me at least have a bit more understanding of the reason why.

xLauraa · 26/04/2018 13:42

@ClumsyFool no worries. Absolutely, it's hard to know what's right and what's just people talking rubbish too sometimes 🙊

winterwarmers · 26/04/2018 13:56

does b6 help with progesterone?

MK86 · 26/04/2018 19:27

@clairehr I used conceive plus when ttc my daughter. First month I got pg but had a chemical, 2nd month I got pg with my daughter. So that's what I'll be doing again this time in the hopes it works again.

Ttc #5
Af is due 2nd or 3rd. But I know I'm out this month I have all the usual signs of my period coming- snappy, irrational, full of spots and starving. I did an ic on Monday bfn but I have no more and will not buy any. I've got some ovulation sticks for next cycle.
