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

Hey ladies how are you all feeling today? I caved and took a test... bfn of course! I don't know why I do this to myself I'm only 9dpo 🙈 I've been getting af style cramps but only on the left side so fingers crossed that's a sign of implantation? Or just wishful thinking 😂 af is due Sunday so it's going to be a longgg week for me

Oh no abz how annoying! Hopefully you have it covered anyway!!

dosmamma That’s good you’re testing that much! Hopefully you’ll get it soon 🤞🏽

So I am on CD 22 and i’ve been getting positives on OPK for over a day now is this normal? When I got my positive yesterday morning I was convinced that I was about to ovulate but this morning I took a opk and it came back positive so I thought that was strange! I then just did one now and it’s still coming back positive is there any way that I could’ve ovulated early this month and now that OPK showed positive due to pregnancy? Has anyone experienced this?

Cloclopops You are still really early so try stay positive 🤞🏽 Hope you get your BFP next week x

@Dosmamas yes we will be dtd today! I haven't done my OPK today yet, but I hope there's still a smiley!

Ps I only got a static smiley yesterday, no flashing smiley at all. Is that weird?
I see a lot of talk about flashing smileys!

@Cloclopops i am the same AF due next Friday or Sat really hope it doesnt show fingers crossed for us!! i was soo tempted to do a teat on Friday had it out snd everytging but resisted as i knew it was too early!! ahh long week ahead lol

@Rightnow1245 you know I have heard of OPK's being able to indicate a positive pregnancy! I don't understand though, if you thought you were going to ovulate it would make sense you got a positive OPK? 🧐

@decgal88 yes fingers crossed AF stays away! I've been getting sore boobs too which is unusual for me. Yesterday i was getting really sharp pains in my left boob and af style cramps but only on the left side 🤔 so no idea what's going on there. My friend is coming to stay with me this week and she is just as desperate for me to get a positive test so I think she may convince me to do one on wedneday 😂 but after that I'll be good and wait until af is due... probably.

@Cloclopops I've been so tempted to take a test as well.. bought some cheapies at Poundland yesterday and they keep calling to me! Fingers crossed you'll get the BFP by the end of the week! I agree, it's going to be a really long week😫

@Rightnow1245 yeah I should definitely be covered! Just wanted some cuddles 🙈😂
Sorry can't help with the OPKs as I've never used them before! Hope you've managed to get an answer - does seem confusing!!

Fingers cossed to all of us please update on here ladies if you do a test i might be good and wait until AF is due but i cant promise anything

Dosmamas yeah it does make sense if I’m ovulating but it was just because I was getting the positive for so long!
I have now got a negative so that mean I’m going to ovulate anytime soon! Or already have!
I really can’t be bothered to DTD tonight but I’m guessing I should?
abz good your covered tho! Oh yeah cuddles are good too 😉

@Rightnow1245 maybe you just had a prolonged surge? DTD tonight, if AF comes this month you'll regret not making the most of your FW (and I want a few POAS buddies for the TWW) We just got home from DTD (I'll use that as well, even though it's doing the donation 😝) our sample was so small compared to lasts month. I guess that's funny cause you girls won't know how much does go in there right? We are going again tomorrow and I will push for Wednesday, we got our first ever flashing smiley today so we will make the most of the longer time and try get three donations in.

Officially on the the TWW as of now. No symptom spotting for us though, last month it caused a massive row. Partly because my partner refused to talk to me about anything fertility/symptom related and I thought that was selfish as we are both on the journey not just her and secondly because her TWW crosses over into my PMS week from hell and I turn into a nasty horrible bitch 😖 xox

@Decgal88 fingers crossed hun 😁, I honestly feel so good having people to talk to about this TWW (and everything else) we have promised not to tell ANYONE anything until we are pregnant and it is so exciting I feel like I'm keeping the biggest secret I could explode.

@Abzi91 fingers crossed for you, what day will you test do you think!!?

@Dosmamas I was originally planning to POAS tomorrow (10dpo - AF due on Sat) but I'll try hold off because it's still a bit early. I've got a busy week at work so hopefully that will keep me distracted!

Like you said, I'm so glad to have others to talk about this with! DH just doesn't understand the obsession!

Hope your TWW goes smoother this month! It's so easy to start symptom spotting and making a big deal about the smallest thing. Fingers crossed for you and everyone else! 😊🤞🏽

Morning ladies 😊

Definitely good to have people to talk to! I have told people that we are trying, but said we are being casual about it... But in fact I am putting a lot of effort into it but haven’t let that cat out the bag 😂 When TTC last time we didn’t tell anybody.. to be honest I wish I didn’t say anything this time either.😬
😬 Just feel A little pressure To get pregnant!!
So I’m going to say I’m 1pdo and we didn’t get to DTD last night but will try again tonight just incase 😊

abz exciting let us know once you’ve done it!
dosmama yeah maybe it was just a long surge.. it’s defo over now tho as I’m getting negative now 👍 That is a little unfair of your partner not to share with you! I would love my OH to ask lol 😂 maybe you can have a chat with her?

Morning ladies

AF arrived last night. Had a real night feeling sorry for myself.

I really thought it would be this month but I’m learning not to get my hopes up!

Good luck to everyone else 😘😘 I hope it happens for each and every one of you!

Morning @EmmTTC sorry to hear it's not happened this month, how long have you been TTC for

Sorry to hear that emmttc still stick around tho as you are part of the group now 😊

@waitingforbaby2 only a couple of months. I lost my first baby in summer at 20 weeks. So I was just desperate to get pregnant again. But need to relax and let it happen when it happens I think. What about you? What stage of your cycle are you at? 🙂

@rightnow1245 yes I will thank you! I can’t wait to hear all your journeys too. It’s nice having a community going through the same things and feelings! ❤️

i'm day 28 of month 4 ttc for the first time and i've been reading a lot recently about others who have their lives literally taken over by thoughts and timing of ovulation, small signs you might be pregnant, not being pregnant, being sad (and is its me or is my pmt during ttc worse than its ever been?!!!) and repeat! i hate others go through this too, but i am also glad to hear i'm not alone. I can't really talk to friends because none of them are trying or have children and the usual response is 'you should just relax and not think about it'. that doesn't help does it?

sorry to hear that @emmTTC xx

Hi Ladies, I'm 12 days post mc, determined to try again but had afew weird results on opk strips...so i'm pretty sure i'm no longer showing postive forpregnanacy following the mc. I have stopped bleeding and today's opk @CD13 is negative. Testing again later and twice a day until i see two lines but the weird thing i that i was getting two faint lines until today?? the past 3 days I had a neg preg test but 2 faint lines on ovulation test strips...today...negative for ov? Anyone else get this then show clearer lines later on? Thank you!

Hi all, can I join? We are month 1 of TTC after a miscarriage in the summer. I had been feeling sick all week and so was absolutely convinced I was pregnant but AF arrived this morning. Feeling so crushed - it's bringing back all the emotions of the m/c. I know it was silly to expect anything after 1 month, but both my previous pregnancies (I have a 21 month old son) were first timers. I'm now going through all the ridiculous worries about late summer babies and schooling etc (although not enough to pause in ttc).

Sorry to hear that @EmmTTC I had my implant removed on 14th sept so kinda tried that month as I think I may of ovulated on the 16th sept but officially started trying this month and I'm now either 1dpo or 3do I'm only using a app but not temping or using opks yet as I want to try to stay calm about it but I already convinced myself I was pregnant last month intil AF arrived it's so hard not to look into every single symptom but I'm trying not to this month
