Hello Smile

Thought I would start a new TWW thread for those of us just entering, or soon to be entering, the TWW

I’ve been TTC#2 for 12 months now (DS was 1st cycle no trying required) and really need some positivity that things will get there for us soon.

What has everyone been trying to get their sticky BFP?

This cycle we have given ConceivePlus fertility Lube a go along with Seven Seas Trying for a Baby pills.

I have also said “sod it” and gone back to eating whatever I fancy, having a beer when I fancy it but have cut down to only two coffees a day.

Good luck to us all Star

(also any of the original TTCers from the Nutters thread still on this board?)

Hello!

I'd like to join please.
I'm 37, DH is 32 and this is the tww of our fourth cycle (got preg cycle 2 but m/c at 5:1).
Last month got all the timings right but think body was still settling back down after m/c.

Anyway... I think 7 DPO today. Oh and I don't temp but do use opks and can feel ovulation. Fingers crossed for us this month.

How many DPO are you @TwittleBee ? Xx

Belle2008 · 22/10/2018 10:54

Hi can I join?
Cycle 2
CD 10
So will be in the tww very soon!
Best of luck

TwittleBee · 22/10/2018 12:25

Pickingflowers hello! so sorry to read you had a MC Flowers I have had a couple CPs now and its so horrid seeing a BFP turn to a BFN. I have stopped doing temping and like you can feel ovulation too!

I'm 4dpo today! Feeling oddly sicky already... All in my head for sure ey?

Belle2008 hello! Not long to go! Hope you are getting in plenty of DTD!

Hello, may I join? 👋
I’m currently TTC #1 and only on my first cycle so it’s very much early days for me. I’m taking Seven Seas Trying for a Baby vitamins and I’ve also been using OPKs. I’m rather impatient so wanted to do everything possible to give myself the best chance. I’m due to test on 2nd Nov, so still have a little while left yet!!

TwittleBee · 22/10/2018 12:39

haha MrsNK you sound like how I was at the start of my TTC journey, expect I was temping too then as well lol! Lots of FX that you'll have it easy and only have to do this one cycle to get your BFP

OP posts:
Pickingflowers · 22/10/2018 12:48

@TwittleBee so sorry to hear about your Cp it's so horrible getting excited and then it's taken away. Scared I'm going to be super anxious even if I do get another bfp.

Ooh sicky feeling! Well I know they say too early but I think if you are in tune with your body who knows..? There's bound to be different hormones early on aren't there?!

I'm confusing myself symptom spotting because last month I had loads of symptoms and was really surprised when BFN . Decided I was going to try to chill out this cycle, but it's half term now, so I just have more time to obsess over every little twinge!

Pickingflowers · 22/10/2018 12:51

Also we tried Conceive Plus when we got preg. Tried Pre-seed last month, back to Conceive Plus this month... where do you get yours? We did through Amazon but so expensive for a titchy tube! x

TwittleBee · 22/10/2018 13:34

Pickingflowers is pricey, £13 from Amazon too. Tbf though I think a little seems to go a long way? We have at least half the tube left after 6 lots of DTD this cycle.

Oh its so hard to stop yourself obsessing over it all isnt it! Its so bloody hard too as I got my BFP with DS at 8dpo too and I was feeling sick and had sore boobs for at least 3 days prior that BFP! But then perhaps I had ovulated earlier than I thought that cycle (DS was unplanned so I was hardly keeping total track and just basing 8dpo on my usual cycle length)

RMarieClaire · 22/10/2018 13:47

Can I join too, please!

32
Cycle #5
CD 29, but only 5 or 6dpo
Ttc #1
AF due Friday but maybe late as I think I ovulated a couple of days late.

I guess technically cycle 3 as implant out in May and 2 anovulatory cycles. Now think I'm ovulating but not certain. Had blood test last Thursday so hoping that will tell me more.

Am using CB OPKs, trying to temp and track EWCM. Taking Pregnacare and eating relatively healthily, but while I've tried to cut down on drinking I've not cut out by a long stretch! Might do that after Christmas if still no luck.

RMarieClaire · 22/10/2018 13:48

@Pickingflowers we're thinking of trying this next month. The whole process is far more expensive than I'd anticipated!

MrsNK · 22/10/2018 14:03

@TwittleBee haha I’m glad I’m not alone! Forgot to say I’ve also been using preseed too. Promised myself I’d keep things relaxed for the first few cycles and then next minute I’m frantically buying the whole fertility range on amazon! 🤦🏼‍♀️
What is everyonedoing to stay sane during TWW?! 😂

MrsP4 · 22/10/2018 14:22

Hi, please can I join, I'm new to this so please bare with me with all the abbreviations and stuff, currently TTC #1 Cycle #1 as stopped the pill beginning of October, had two days of flashing smileys yesterday and today so will soon be entering the TWW, due to test around 5th November. Being on the pill for 10 years I had no idea how my body worked anymore and how long my cycles are which is why I used the OPK. Good luck all! Xx

RMarieClaire · 22/10/2018 14:22

@MrsNK - probably drinking too much wine!
We're off to NYC on Thursday, and I expect AF to come this weekend if this isn't our month, so hoping the bright lights will keep me distracted and feeling upbeat.

TwittleBee · 22/10/2018 14:22

MrsNK haha yeah at the start I even bough the VIP subscription to Fertility Friend App! Certainly not alone.

To help keep me sane, I have got a busy week planned to help keep my mind picking up symptoms too much. Have also bought a million HPTs though! Ooops.

RMarieClaire hey there! Welcome

TwittleBee · 22/10/2018 14:23

MrsP4 hello too! No worries about the abbreviations, took me ages to get used to them! Hope that you find it lovely and easy!

Hi if like to join.
Cd19 ttc for 2 months. This being the second. I used clear blue ovulation tests. I got my peak on 19th October. That being cd16. Through that whole firtile week I had horrible sharp cramps in my lower abdomen, fatigue and nausea. I belive these are just symptoms of ovulation. Which coinside with my tests. Prior to peak I had 2 high fertility results. I'm now 3dpo and hopeing for the best and trying not to loose my mind on the ttw. I know I can test from 10dpo using a early result pg test. But I'm going to try not to do it and actually test on the day of my missed period which is 3rd of November. Fx af dosent show!! I don't really have any symptoms as I know it's too early. The only thing I can say is very slight tender breasts and creamy discharge. Sorry if tmi. Is anyone my ttw buddy or experiencing anything similar?

Pickingflowers · 22/10/2018 14:57

@RMarieClaire I really like the Conceive Plus, it just feels more gentle than any of the others. Before ttc the only line we could get on with was the Tesco's own... all the others I used to get a nasty burning sensation!!

@TwittleBee now I think I'm feeling sicky!! Oh it's so hard not to drive yourself mad over it, isn't it?! Think I'll wash the kitchen floor as a distraction 

TwittleBee · 22/10/2018 15:04

Pickingflowers so totally agree with you on how nice the lube actually is! I joked with DH and said I think we should buy it even after we get lucky, its so similar to our own stuff so I think that is why its so nice to use? Haha and sorry I made you feel all sicky too! Temptation to test tomorrow (at only 5dpo) is unreal despite knowing it is almost impossible to get a BFP that early!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Starry1234 hey there! I am 4dpo (so we are close!) but AF due on Halloween for me

MarriedAroundChristmas · 22/10/2018 15:19

Hello everyone.
Think I’m 8dpo roughly, but didn’t receive my peak on cbfm this month (think it’s due to weeing in the night for a few nights, as I’ve peaked every month).

This is month 4 for us, after a miscarriage in April/May at 8 weeks. Luckily I have my dd (3.5 years) to distract me. But as we edge closer to my due date (6th December) I so wish I was full of hope and already pregnant. Love to everyone who has experienced a miscarriage or similar, it’s so awful.

And good luck to us all this month, fingers crossed!!

Starry1234 · 22/10/2018 15:29

TwittleBee not long to wait now. Fx for you. Hope you get your bfp!!!

Tefiti2 · 22/10/2018 15:33

Hi @twittlebee I was on the original nutters thread - hoping this one is as fun as that was!
We’re on cycle 10 TTC 2 - DC was conceived on the pill so didn’t expect this! We’ve had 2 early MCS so it’s been a struggle.
I’m 5 or 6dpo, AF due on 31st Oct! Fingers crossed for lots of sticky BFPS :-)

Tefiti2 · 22/10/2018 15:36

Oh forgot to add - we use conceive plus each month, and this month I’ve been taking Cassanovum Plus as well as normal folic acid, Vit D and omega 3 - I’m at the stage now where I’ll try anything 😂

TwittleBee · 22/10/2018 15:39

Tefiti2 hi!!! I am sorry to see you are still here, although I am hoping with us two (and perhaps if any other Nutters show up) we might have another silly thread again haha. Sorry to read you've been having struggles too Sad We are literally twinnies then as AF is due on 31st too!! Trick or Treat quite literally on this Halloween for us

Starry1234 thank you! and you too!!

MarriedAroundChristmas welcome! Star So sorry that you are having a hard time thinking about your MC Flowers hopefully soon you will have a lovely sticky BFP and healthy baby at the end

TwittleBee · 22/10/2018 15:39

Tefiti2 have you tried the Seven Seas Trying for a Baby pills yet?

OP posts:
Pickingflowers · 22/10/2018 16:23

@TwittleBee hahaha we said the exact same thing too!! Just had some late lunch so sick feeling has gone now. Crazy what the mind does.

Does anyone else get crazily superstitious in the tww? My thing is magpies at the moment. Im normally really rational!
