TTC October anyone want to join 😊

[Rightnow1245]

So I’m currently on day cycle 12 not due ovulation yet but I should be in a few days! Trying for my second is anyone else wants to join this tread to talk about TTC come on over.
I have been tracking my cycles for a few months now but we are only trying from this month.
Please feel free to share your TTC story xx

Hi Rightnow1245,
This is my first month of ttc after the loss of my baby in August. First month of opk which I have never used before but want to track my ovulation day. I’m currently on cd 6 and af is still here. I’m feeling nervous but so desperate for a baby.
Good luck! Xx

Cycle day 5! 2 month if TTC after mmc in July. Hubby better be ready next week 😂🤭 xx I’m not tracking ovulation yet, cycle usually 28 days will start looking into that if no BFP this year x

I'm CD11 on cycle 3! Not using OPKs this month.

Sorry to hear about your MCs @Angel2018 and @Babycakes1989.

Fx for us all xx

Should be CD1 but AF isn't here yet. Definitely not pregnant (2 x FRER says so). I'm due to ovulate on 18th so will be a bit of a wait...

Hi guys

Am here

Another month rolls round...whilst AF isn’t due for two days I tested yesterday as I’ve had to take Pepto bismol and lemsip which are big no nod if preggers.

BFN needless to say.

However. Holiday tomorrow! Really going to concentrate on shagging heaps when poss.

Will start trying this month cd 6 i having been tracking my cycle for a few months but only had implant removed last month

HI everyone
Sorry to hear that Angel2018 and babycakes must be awful for you both! Let’s hope this is a lucky tread 🤞🏽

When will you start using opk tests Angel2018?

Babycakes are you using an app to know when you should be DTD?
hellobrass have you used the opk test at all yet?
paul exciting about your holiday! Will you be ovulating whilst away?

waitingforbaby2 welcome
Xx

I seem to ovulate on day 6 of a 7 day period; it’s really weird. It’s like once every last “trace” (ahem) of AF has really gone it’s almost too late.

Mental.

PaulHollywoodsSexGut wow that is early! Do you know this because of opk test? At least you can just have fun on holiday trying 😊 where are you off to? I’m very jealous!!

Thank you ladies xx
Sorry for your loss Babycakes1989. Xx
Rightnow1245, I’m going to start using them on CD10 as my af is a bit all over the place, I’ve bought loads of those one step sticks off of Amazon.
Babydust to you all xx

Yep. Thanks to MN I started tracking when I ov and somewhat weirdly it’s CD6 or 7 of 32.

NUTS.

Cycle day 3 here! Trying the sperm meets egg plan again this month so will start using ovulation sticks around cycle day 8 I didn't ovulate until about cycle day 16 last month! Xx

Angel same I have bought the ones from amazon too.. they worked great last time I was TTC 👍
PaulHollywoodsSexGut wow how does that even work? I thought the max time from ovulation to your next period is around 16 day?
waiting4arainbow welcome 😊 I’m the same as you last month I ovulated Quite late!

Is it ok if I join too??

Currently waiting for AF to arrive! She should arrive sometime next weekend. Not sure if to test end of next week or to wait it out if she doesn't show up!

Thanks all ❤️ Can you point me in the right direction of a good app to track ov? Thank you x

@Babycakes1989 I have Flo but will probably delete after my weeks trial is over.

Reasons why are:
1:I'm don't think I'm using it properly lol

And 2: I'm not sure how I feel about the symptom tracker/logger. I feel like it's quite vague and I also feel like it's not healthy/it's making me think quite obsessively! For example, a symptom is "bloated" which I am but I also had a jacket potato at 10:30 last night and a chilli full of beans and chickpeas. I've had a headache but could that be down stress at work. Also my back does ache but it's probably from cleaning the kitchen floor! I've also had a couple of spots even though I have very clear skin etc

So part of mean thinks it's great for tracking my period / ovulation time if you use it correctly but perhaps apps aren't for me!

I haven't used ovulation strips as this is my first month trying so can't comment on those!

Hi, I’m a newbie to posting and have only been lurking a few weeks. I’m 37 and my DH is 51, I have a 1 DS who is nearly 15 from a previous relationship and this is my first month TTC #2. My DS was a surprise baby so I’ve never thought about TTC before now. I’ve been temping via Natural Cycles as a contraceptive for over a year and have flipped it to TTC this month. Im temping so made sure we were busy in the lead to and on the day. I’m currently 10dpo, had light pink spotting yesterday, a little brown this morning and then a little pink again this afternoon. I had sore breasts since OV that has mostly gone now and I’m due on 8h or 9th so not sure if the spotting is a good sign or AF coming early (I tend to spot a little before AF). Really looking forward to being in touch with people who are in the same boat as no one other than DH know we are giving it a try!

Can I join please?

TTC #1
Age 25
Cycle 2

I think I ovulated yesterday or today. The TWW is going to be so hard! I already want to test.

Fingers crossed this month is a lucky one for us all.

@Babycakes1989 I’m using Ovia to track my period and ovulation, I used flo before and whilst pregnant with my angel but it brings back memories so had to change to a new app. Both were good but you need to log your info for them to be more accurate.
Welcome to everyone wishing you all the very best of luck.
Xx

Welcome to all the newbies! The more the merrier 😊

I think the app clue is really good! I have been using this to track my cycles for a few months now x

How’s everyone feeling today? I think I’m really close to ovulation! DTD last night so hopefully will catch the little egg lol.. going away with my family this weekend so not sure how DTD will work in a house full of family members hahaha.. it’s got to be done somehow 😂 I’m taking my opk stick so I can test twice a day to make sure we don’t miss it 😊 I’m on 13dp so if I ovulate soon it will be sooner than normal! My cycle is different each month due to me still breastfeeding DS

@Rightnow1245 I used CB digi OPKs on cycle one and got a static smiley on the 2nd day of using them. On cycle 2, the monitor stopped working so I didn't bother. I do have a new box, but for whatever reason on Wednesday (CD10) I decided not to use them. I usually get EWCM in my fertility window so was planning to use that as an indicator. I haven't noticed much yet though, so I don't think I'm quite there yet.

I like Clue too - I like the simplicity. I also have Ovia and Glow!

I'm feeling a bit low today - two of my colleagues are pregnant and I'm finding that particularly hard today. I don't know why!

Good luck catching your positive OPK, and hope you get a private moment to dtd!!

I think I’m out . I’m 12dpo and had a huge big temp drop this morning (36.83 to 36.53) it’s still above my cover line but as I’m expecting AF at start of the next week think this cycle is over. Silly to get hopes up on first cycle when is 15yrs since I had my DS!

Hey! I’m new to all this! I recently had a loss after finding out at 19 weeks my baby had a rare case of spinal bifida which meant he probably wouldn’t survive out of birth. That was my first baby, we said goodbye to him on the 18th July this summer.

Im now TTC again and feeling hopeful that this can happen for us! We only tried for 3 months and that was without really monitoring ovulation or anything so we were very lucky!

I’m now on cycle 2..6dpo and dying to test!! I’m just going with the app Flo and trying to see signs in my body eg CM, cramping so we will see what happens.

The two weeks wait is the worst!

Sorry for rambling on.. thought this would make the 2 weeks wait a bit more bearable!

Sometimes it’s just a good idea to go with the flow and not track it HelloBrass I get a bit obsessed to be honest 😬 We Have our own room so hopefully can DTD tonight 🤞🏽
kaykay2018 sorry to hear that! is that what happens if AF is about to show? Does your temp drop? I don’t really know how temping works 🤔
emmattc sorry to hear that! Must of been awful for you! Try not to test yet, I know it’s really hard but you will just be upset and it could be to early to tell.. how long until AF is due? X
