Hi all looking to start a thread of people who are in the same boat. AF has just arrived this AM so a bit gutted as I was feeling completely different this month which made me think it could have been it! Anyway onwards and upwards going to try the Sperm Meets Egg Plan this month once AF is done. Just a thread for support if anyone would like. Xx

Hello :) I am also TTC #1.
How long have you been trying?
It's mine and DH's 1st wedding anniversary at the end of the month so I'm really hoping this is the cycle for us! Would be such an amazing gift for us both :)

Hiya,

A couple of months, not long long but still gets your mind going! You? We have our 3 year later this month which I know I won't have ovulated by but will keep trying!

Cycle one here too. Put my back out so have been using syringes. I've been inseminated 7 times.

Using opk and had a blazing positive today and yesterday, so hope to syringe in a few more swimmers this month.

Such a romantic time. Hmm

@kmcneil91 this is our 3rd cycle so not long for us either. Good luck, could be your lucky month!

@ValidUser at least you're still giving it a good go! I would never have thought to do that to be honest!
We always think it's going to be so romantic having all this time with your husband/partner but it turns out it's not! Haha

@purplestar9 this is me just heading into our third cycle. Sounds so silly and naive but you grow up hearing of all these people who feel pregnant by accident and wonder how the heck it happened because it seems to bloody hard when trying!

@kmcneil91 I know! We've always been so careful with birth control before this because we weren't ready, but it turns out when you are ready you still could be waiting months or even years for it to happen.
I'm currently on CD18 and in my fertile period, ovulation will sometime between now and Sunday I think. My last 2 cycles have been 34 and 33 days long so I'm going off that.

Just finished AF so will ovulate in about a week. It’s my 5th cycle since my MC in April and 8th cycle in total TTC #1. 25 yo thought it would be easier than this...who was I kidding. Praying this month is my month but feeling down and out. Sorry to bring negativity to this thread. I have my ups and downs! GL to everyone xx

Good luck @kmcneil91 !

TTC number 1 here too, been trying for almost 13 months (although only 9 cycles properly tracked). Did SMEP this month too and currently 7 or 8 dpo so fingers crossed its worked this month!
