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

@keaps what do you mean vaginal secretions? Does CM change during tww if you are pregnant?

9dpo and have really bad cramps!
How is everyone?

@senorasurf well some ppl report having increased CM as hormone level rises in early pregnancy. Don't know if it's universal. Maybe those who got a BFP can educate us. Lol

@senorasurf do you have sore boobs? Or the CM?

@keaps thanks. I'm 8dpo and have noticed a lot more CM than normal. No other symptoms though. Don't think it's my month and haven't noticed anything different apart from more CM. Have tried to research CM after conception but can't find anything interesting 

@Rightnow1245 Unfortunately I had cramps and a bleed then evidence of MC.

Keeping positive though!

So sorry to hear that @ducksandacorns

Thought I’d refresh since AF has come and gone.

Currently on cycle day 9. Unable to DTD as partner is away all week until ovulation day on Sunday. I’m not putting any pressure on this month though as I felt last month we did it as textbook and as much as possible all to be disappointed when AF showed up. How do you ladies do it for months on end. My heart goes out to you all. ❤️ It’s mental torture!

Hi all,

Can I join please?

I've got PCOS and currently on my 3rd cycle with the fertility clinic, on clomid prescribed by them. My scan last week showed that they think I ovulated but needed to have my day 21 test to confirm that, so had my bloods done today. Nervous wait a couple of days now to find out if my progesterone level was high enough to suggest ovulation. Fingers crossed! I'm also in 2ww - AF is due sometime around next tuesday/weds. I'm so tempted to test but currently only 7dpo, so might wait until the weekend at least otherwise I could get a false reading. Also my periods are rather unpredictable, so this cycle has all been guesswork based on the fact my last cycle resembled something normal (28 days) prior to this though its always been around 35-40 and sometimes longer. The Clomid and Metformin that they have put me on have regulated my cycles, so really hoping for a BFP this month.
Good luck everyone! :)

Also - just to add, I've been getting some weird cramping type pains, and had a strange yellowish/stringy stretchy CM for a couple of days after ovulation this week. Not sure if that's normal, I've not noticed it in other months.

@samsward87 I have the same, I'm so scared to get my hopes up 😭 good luck to you!

I think we are out this month, my partner has started spotting which she usually does the day before her period except it's 5 days early 🤬🤬 although riddle me this, last Friday she had spotting which she put as ovulation spotting at 5dpo she gets pink spotting during/after ovulation every month without fail. But then now only three days later has the start of her period. Have we tracked something completely wrong? By those dates she has an 8 day Luteal Phase? WTAF? She hasn't got her full blown AF yet that's due 27/28th.

And can I just say, the female reproductive system is on crack 😡 what an absolute show it puts on throughout the month.

Welcome to the new October cyclers, I hope you have a smooth and predictable cycle with lovely results 😂

@EvieV28 good luck to you too! I've convinced myself it'll be a BFP, just feels different this month, but then again I could just be completely imagining it all!

Best to hold off if you can swimswim I like me lol 😂

Sorry ducks life can be so cruel sometimes 💐

Hey emma good idea not putting pressure on yourself sometimes that’s the best way to be! How long did it take you last time with your first?

sam Welcome sounds like you’ve had a real journey.. let’s hope this is month 🤞🏽

I also spoke to my sister-in-law today and she told me she didn’t get her BFP until AF was due it’s given me hope! I also did with my son so maybe it’s more common than I thought 😊

dosmamas didn’t see your message yesterday! That’s so strange about your parnters LP only being 8 days! Could it be implantation bleeding? Or was it to heavy for that?

How is everyone feeling this morning? AF due tomorrow to the app.. I’m on day CD 32 and 9/10dpo 😊 I did a test today again silly me! BNF but it was a internet cheepie! Saving my first response one for Saturday 😊 something is telling me it’s not the month for us but only got a few more days to find out 👍

@keaps I am currently very early on in my cycle as AF appeared last week so only on cycle day 9 AF stopped on Monday, but we have dtd already in preparation for my fertility window! im going to start using opk’s as I have not yet used them so my ovulation days could have been well out this whole time trying!! I am soo hoping i get a bfp this month i would be over the moon as we all would getting our bfp! i am going to try and be good and wait till the day AF is due to test as I have previously tested early and just been disappointed I know its hard waiting but i will try my best 😁how many days dpo are you? xx @Rightnow1245 thank you hun i will try and test those times of the day, i am currently on cycle day 9 shall i start doing opk’s in a couple of days? @Abzi91 hope you get your bfp and all of us ladies do this month 🙏🏼

Morning everyone.
8dpo (we think), find out tomorrow as had bloods done yesterday. Fingers crossed. Using every last little bit of will power I have not to test.

Hi all! My DP talked me into taking an ovulation test last night as we have loads, so I did on the understanding it meant nothing and we are still waiting to take a proper test. It was positive! So I've now been googling furiously to see what that means 🙈😂.

Symptom wise, I'm now having terrible broken sleeps and waking up really thirsty. I think the sleep thing also happened with DD, so I'm back to thinking more positively again. Roll on Friday morning as due to the ovulation test, we've decided to take a test then, just to see.

I meant to add, currently 10dpo x

Fx for you @SwimSwim

But without wanting to piss on your biscuits, I read this this morning as I was tempted to do the same

www.babymed.com/opk-as-hpt-test-pregnancy-test

I read another thread on here which said you can get an LH surge before AF, so I thought whatever the result was, it was likely to mess with my head!

I do really hope it's a good sign for you though x

@hellobrass thank you, I found completely contradicting accounts online when I was looking, but not that one. I'll forward that link to DP too, so he doesn't get too excited. To be honest, the broken sleep thing is the thing making me feel the most positive about it as I'm almost 100% sure I had this at the same time before my BFP with DD. Obviously it could be my mind racing that's waking me though! The joys of symptom spotting 😂🙈

@EmmTTC i just read your post and you are similar to me in your cycle only about a day out I am currently on cycle day 9! do you use opk? how do you keep track of ovulating etc?xx

Hey @decgal88. Hope you good and preparing for the work of trying to get pregnant as your fertility window approaches. I am currently 7dpo and waiting patiently. Cheers.

@Decgal88 Hi. Yeah currently on cycle day 10 with ovulation supposed to happen around Sunday. My husband doesn’t get home until Sunday from work so hoping it’s a later one this month. I’ve only ever used flo. No opks. Seemed to work for me before just pin pointing ovulation date and working around that but last month and previous it just didn’t happen. 🙄🙄 I don’t want to start using opks because I know TTC will then control my life! But if it doesn’t happen for me by January I’ve said to myself I’ll do that. What about you? Is this first baby? Atleast we have someone to be in he TWW with! 😘

Hi all! I'm so behind on this thread. AF came 4 days early for me last Thursday and I was absolutely gutted. Back on the baby making train now though! CD 7 for me with ovulation predicted on Monday. I've bought some ovulation strips for the first time this month so fingers crossed they'll help with the BFP 🙏 Is anyone on here taking folic acid supplements? I only recently read that aparently you're supposed to take them at least a month before ttc and for the first 3 months of pregnancy but I'd never heard that before 🤔
