This month I am going to track my cycle using ovulation strips. DTD lots last month so I'm gutted but onwards and upwards!

Hi. I was trying to reduce my obsessiveness this month but saw this feed today! Hi to some of those I recognise from the September bus.

Ttc number 1
Cycle 6ish.
Last month AF came earlier than expected and every cycle has been slightly different since January. Going to try pre seed and clearblue opks this month.

babyxbee · 10/09/2018 13:08

AF arrived on Saturday, 4 days early (whilst on holiday gahhhh Sad). September was our first cycle trying and I wasn't overly hopeful because of it being the first cycle. Hoping October is our month! I'm going to try and track when I'm ovulating this month using OPKs, hopefully it will give us a better idea when to to dtd successfully.

We get married the first week in October so would be a lovely little wedding present!!

@Onestep2 good luck! And congratulations on your upcoming wedding 😍

veeboo · 10/09/2018 17:34

Hi @babyxbee sounds like you ov ulated earlier than you thought if AF was early so opms might help this month. My last AF came earlier than expected so next one also due right in the middle of holiday!

catlady3 · 10/09/2018 18:36

Those of you using opks, can I ask when you usually start testing? Fertility friend is suggesting I start one day prior to expected fertile window, but what if I ov early and miss it!!

Dwellington · 10/09/2018 18:50

I will rejoin from last month! Have started the ball rolling with GP investigations as pretty much up to our 12 months TTC no 2.

AF/BFP now due 4th Oct. Not sure what else to try, have preseed, giving up on acupuncture as obviously did nothing last month and an expensive luxury! Will do OPKs as usual and we always follow a rough SMEP to make sure we are doing it at least every other day and then I p it to every day nearer O. Might just try to be a bit more chill this month and plan lots of nice things to distract in the TWW.

Good luck to us all!

Hi everyone, can I join too?

Cycle 4

I'm currently on CD3, AF now due on 7 October. DP goes away at the beginning of October so if this is not our month we'll take a break until December. My plan is to relax as much as I can and just DTD every other day. I got some Conceive Plus but won't be doing any tracking, I think that makes it too obsessive. We're also in the midst of buying a house and that is stressful enough.

hellotoyellow · 11/09/2018 16:24

Can I join?

Cycle -12ish? 1 MMC and 1 ectopic so far in 2018. First cycle back trying.

CD4. I have a new box of the clear blue OPKs... BFP due 4th October.

@catlady3 I start at day 10 (ovulate d13 or d14) but if you want to.try earlier maybe use the internet cheapies?

Hi ladies,

I'm jumping on from the September bus today, AF arrived this morning which was disappointing BUT I was pleasantly surprised as I had my contraceptive implant out in June, my first AF in August and this was my first proper cycle and was a perfect 28 day cycle so I'm pretty happy with that! Was getting secretly worried so fingers crossed it stays that way!

Really sorry to read that a few of you have had some losses and some pretty awful experiences. Really hoping this month is better for you and that we can all help support each other when we need to.

Lots of love xx

Had implant removed on 20th Aug (mid AF) am hoping for my regular AF to come in the next couple of days so we can start TTC soon. Used OPKs last month to track and it seems like i did ovulate last month, so here's hoping!
Best of luck to everyone!

veeboo · 12/09/2018 08:24

Hi to new people and those I recognise from September. @newbie21 sorry to hear about your loss. Fx for this bus x

toomanyflatwhites · 12/09/2018 16:45

Having obsessively lurked on the whole Sept bus maybe I should actually join this one - hi everyone and sorry to those who didn't get their September BFPs, and Thanks to those who've had losses.
We had a BFP in August which turned out to be a CP so was reeeeeally hoping I would get pregnant straight away in sept but instead I got AF this week so here I am, trying to stay very calm and sane but actually feeling quite disappointed all over again about the August loss.
I'm 40 and hoping for a DC2, have already got a 2 year old who is currently making me think I should stop at 1. I might not be very present here as am trying to be laid back about TTC, but I will be rooting for everyone!

Wishful30 · 13/09/2018 08:42

Morning ladies. Me again 🙄
Thought I may as well hop on now even tho af isn't here yet.
Had bfn and have af symptoms. 2 days to go.

September has been awful, never thought I'd be practically arguing with my fertility clinic staff. Really not helpful with the already stressful situation! Last shot at IUI will now be at the end of October.

Anyway. After months of test, scans and drugs every other week. I'm done.
I'm having a break this cycle. I'm using my app predicted ovulation day, and that's it!
No poas, no temping, no cm checks, I'm taking hot baths and drinking alcohol!!
Off for a week in the sun tomorrow. Same af is gonna ruin it a bit, but i am so looking forward to switching off!!

Good luck ladies. 🤞🏻

Newbie21 · 13/09/2018 09:00

@Wishful30 best of luck. I'm thinking your attitude is bang on this month. I conceived my DS following back to back weekends of champagne-fueled weddings and a trip to India and it worked for me, haha! Fingers crossed for you and enjoy the sun 🌞

Wishful30 · 13/09/2018 09:03

@Newbie21 😂 great! Thankyou xxx

loveshinealight · 13/09/2018 11:13

👋🏼 to all the new people. Lovely to all be on this journey together. I'm so sorry so many of you have had such a rough ride already. Thanks

I've started OPKs now as I'm on CD12. Negative as expected. I'm away on a hen weekend so will definitely be drinking. Hopefully my fertile days don't fall this weekend!

I’d love to hop on this one! Finally persuaded DH to try for #2. Our first is only 13 months but I’m keen for a small-ish gap. But we’ll see what happens!

How is everyone getting on? I started SMEP yesterday and am going to order some preseed on Prime I’ve decided.

AF was 5 days early last month which gave me a 20 day cycle. Am going to start OPKs early this month to make sure I don't miss it and dtd every other day once AF has finished

Good luck to all on bfp's XX

feverbee · 16/09/2018 11:23

OPKs came yesterday, planning on using the cheap ones to test every day until the apps tell me when my fertile week is, then I'll use the clear blue ones. Anyone else tracking? Hoping this, in combination with myself and DH changing our lifestyles a bit, should help Smile

MuddyElephant · 16/09/2018 12:27

Just catching up after a few days away. Sorry to see so many of you from the Sept bus on here. Had a nice relaxing few days but had a hideous cold Sad @wishful30 have a great time! Am trying to take a bit of a step back this month too and just try to time DTD over my predicted fertile window without obsessing too much!
