Hi!

Is there anyone else who is waiting to TTC until next month? Support thread here if needed! Would be nice to speak to some others during the wait!

It's so crazy to think this time next year I may have a baby 😂 we're thinking about booking a holiday for next Dec same as what we have just had and I'm like 'OOH make sure you get cancellation insurance, could end up being my due date for all we know' DH just rolled his eyes haha!!

Hello ladies. Can I join you? We are going to start trying as soon as Christmas is over. Not long now!
I had my coil taken out in the summer so I could track my cycle.

gizmosslave · 12/12/2018 15:58

@Bluebell9 I have no idea how to even begin tracking cycles!

I'm using Ovia Fertility app. I only track when my period start/ends but there is loads of different things you can record if you want.

Muffin9120 · 12/12/2018 19:08

Awh I’m so excited for you all to get to start trying next month, I can’t wait till I can!

I’ve just started using the Flo app to try track my cycles, has anyone else used this and is it any good?!

I am on St. John’s wort and taking the pill (OH no’s and is happy to take the risk) so might happen for me, but I don’t know how much it does effect the pill and I’m honestly just not that lucky 👎

APositiveMind · 12/12/2018 19:47

I use the flo app Muffin! I like it, it got my period spot on the first time using it, the second period was 5 days late (wasn't pregnant unfortunately) so then it's re-calculated and should be accurate again now. Hopefully I come on when it says I'm due as that means ill ovulate on january 1st which is so exciting!

Koalaby · 12/12/2018 20:00

Hi! Can I join? I'm waiting until January .. because OH says so! And so I can drink over the holidays. So excited! I have a DS already so this will (hopefully) be no 2.

gizmosslave · 13/12/2018 16:48

@Koalaby welcome! how old is your DS?

OP posts:
Koalaby · 13/12/2018 17:10

@gizmosslave 16 months also!

gizmosslave · 13/12/2018 17:12

When was he born?!

OP posts:
Koalaby · 14/12/2018 13:50

August 11th - you?

gizmosslave · 14/12/2018 15:08

@Koalaby August 25th are you on the August bus for that month?

OP posts:
Koalaby · 14/12/2018 15:33

Yep and I'm the only one that day so you can work out who I am! :)

gizmosslave · 14/12/2018 16:52

Already had ya! Eek how exciting! We could go through it together again!

OP posts:
Koalaby · 14/12/2018 18:46

Good luck! Not long to go until Jan now! x

gizmosslave · 15/12/2018 10:58

I know! I’m very very nervous!

OP posts:
Muffin9120 · 15/12/2018 17:42

Woo OH has agreed we can stop using contraception in Jan 👏 he doesn’t want to actively try until summer but said if it happenes before then it happens so fingers crossed it does 😁

I’m excited now!!

thosethreewords · 16/12/2018 00:22

@Muffin9120 that's exciting!!! Will you be tracking anything or actually just seeing what happens?

HJWT · 16/12/2018 08:12

@Muffin9120 eeeh it's so exciting !! I hope we all come back with BFP's in the next few months 🥰

thosethreewords · 16/12/2018 08:43

I know cycle wise it won't happen, but it would be amazing if we got pregnant today since me and DH have been together for ten years today! Grin How long have all you guys been with OH?

HJWT · 16/12/2018 09:16

@thosethreewords just over 3 years and we have a 2 year old 😂 we have known each other for 10 years next year x

Muffin9120 · 16/12/2018 09:26

Was going to track so I’d be prepared for summer and have started using an app called Flo to do that so will probably keep using that. Thats all I will do for now, and just try dtd as much as I can when that says I am ovulating 😁

Been with my OH 3 years and hoping to get married in 2021 so ideally want to have baby #1 before we get married .. if it doesn’t happen will stop trying start of 2020 because I don’t want to be pregnant for my wedding!!

Koalaby · 16/12/2018 13:35

I've been with OH 4 years.

I'm not planning to track anything closely. I have a regular cycle and often feel ovulation anyway so no need to pee on sticks!

HJWT · 16/12/2018 16:35

I'm going to start tracking after Tuesday so expect a post from me 'is this positive' 😂😂😂
