I will start:
Age: 26
TTC: baby no.1

Would be great to hear your stories and support each other along the way. Wishing you all baby dust☺️💐xx

I’m out this cycle. AF has arrived.

For next month I’m not sure whether to get some OV testing sticks. At the moment I use an app to track everything.

Greysgirl LOL I'm wondering if we were at the same thing!

It was okay, in left pretty early on, I was just not in the mood.

@PaintingOwls ha ha! Where there pink balloon flamingoes at your do??

@Greysgirl sorry to hear AF arrived😞I would get some OPK I found that I ovulated earlier than what my app said. I get the cheap ones from eBay about £5 for 50 so you have enough to test a lot and really get to know your cycle.
@MrsG7718 fingers crossed still, your not out yet. What test did you use yesterday?
@ale2992 Good luck!!

So I had a miscarriage in December and had a MVA last Wednesday. I bought ovulation tests to track, I've done 3 over the past 3 days and todays is positive, I had faint lines the two previous days but today is extremely darker than the previous.
Is it normal for me to be ovulating already?
My OH and I have decided to try after my next period as this is what was advised by the doctor who carried out my procedure on Wednesday but I wanted to start testing to track my cycle.
Any advice is appreciated 

Happy New Year girls, my OH and I stopped TTC After October cycle due to stress and finances, we start again this month.

TTC: 6 months
Have been pregnant twice before with ex boyfriend, both ended in silent MC's, second preg was twins.
I'm not carrying my partner is.
Fertile window starts 21st.

Using a known donor and artificial insemination. Trying to get three donations during our next FW, 21st, 23rd and 25th

I've just bought some vitamins off amazon to use as pre Natals, we were using proper TTC Vitamins but each month we felt the pills were messing with her LP, which at one point her luteal phase was 26 days or something ridiculous, it had to be the vitamins as we have been tracking for 18 months and her cycle is nearly spot on every month.

So we are going to use, Feroglobin, (iron, folic acid and b12) and some Vitamin D. I have read loads about Americans using Geritol Liquid in their fertile window to increase chances and Feroglobin has the same ingredients so fingers crossed it does the trick. We are also losing weight as well. We are both overweight and want a healthy BMI.

What do you girls use for vitamins?

@waiting2bmum it was the Asda one but it's now just a waiting game for AF. If AF does come I'm looking at getting some OPK as I want to be more sure were hitting it. How are you getting on? Xx

Please can I join?

TTC #1
Cycle 3 now. Desperately trying to play it cool but secretly obsessing over ever detail like everyone I’m sure. Currently not tracking anything except using an app. Recently came off the implant after having it in for six years with a little gap between year 3/4. Currently still trying to work out my cycles as never really had regular cycles (had implant in when 16 so can’t remember what they’re like) but so far I’ve had a 27 day cycle and a 28 day cycle.

I’m wanting to check/track ov. What are the best ways? What symptoms do you ladies get when ovulating?

I’m excited for another month of trying. Baby dust to you all. X

@MrsE95 I tend to get ovulation pain but I'm also using ovulation tests as I've suffered a MMC and want to track my cycle as best I can. I got pregnant using flo on my first cycle.

Hello! First time TTC, stopped the pill a week ago after being on since May 2018 and it's been like bunnies ever since. No withdrawal bleed yet so wondering if this could mean anything?! Xx

Well, after going to buy a frer yesterday to test this morning ... AF arrived right before bed. I'm really upset as I was 6 days late and had really convinced myself that I had a Christmas miracle.

I've thought I'd ovulated on 25th December, but AF arriving yesterday means that it was actually 30th December, right? I had a positive opk on 25th so I really don't know what to think.

@ale2992 what cycle day are you in?
@Dosmamas welcome☺️good luck for TTC and fingers crossed the new vitamins work!💐sorry to hear about your mc. I personally use seven seas folic acid, I really like them.
@MrsG7718 have you tried frer? The are really good and pick up really early. When are you due? Fingers crossed she don't show💐
@MrsE95 welcome☺️I used the Flo app and use ebay cheap ovulation sticks, I find them really good. I sometimes get cramping on one side I am ovulating, only slightly and some EWCM but not an awful lot.
@sjkent18 welcome! And good luck. Ohh I'm not sure in that one, some people are different, give it a bit longer and see.
@PaintingOwls I am so sorry to hear this😞sometimes we can ovulate but not release and egg or the egg doesn't take. When you get a positive test it means the egg is coming12-36 hours later, did you dtd then?

Trying, 5th cycle trying.

I am currently on day 50 of this cycle and really dunno where I am at as cycle has never lasted this long 😭

DTD on the 27th Waiting2bMum.

@Waiting2bMum not 100% as I haven't had a period since my MVA, I was ovulating yesterday according to my test. Just waiting for today's to see what that says.

Hi @Kat9707 welcome☺️how long have you cycles been before this one? Have you tested yet to see if your pregnant?
@PaintingOwls only thing I can think is that you missed it as may have ovulated on the 26th or later as you said.

@Waiting2bMum, my average cycle from August till now had been 25days. I've done 4 pregnancy tests and all showing negative 😢

Hello to the new ladies and sorry to those who have had AF arrive.

I have a weird one. I'm currently in my FW and after sex last night, I had blood in my cm (it was pink). All day today I've had red blood when wiping. We didn't have rough sex and in my 2 years off the pill and 1 year ttc I've never had ovulation bleeding, so that also seems unlikely to be the cause. I'm freaking out a bit because it's bright red rather than pink or brown. Has anyone had this before?

@PaintingOwls I'm sorry AF was cruel I normal am on the day but last cylce was 4 days late and got my hopes up.

Hi girls, had a positive OPK today CD17 so guess I'll ovulate today or tomorrow so CD18 my cycles have been 27 days the last two months and the month before that was 30 days. Last few months I've ovulated mid month but it's later this cycle so does that mean I'm out for Jan as I've ovulated later because now my LP will be short 9-10 days, or will AF be later as I Ovulated later? Sorry I'm fairly new to all this so I'm not sure, I was unwell couple of weeks back so blaming that for messing with my cycle

@Kat9707 aww so sorry to hear that! It's quite common to have a long cycle especially if you've had any stress to through it off track. If you don't come on at your expected next one I would perhaps have a chat with the gp. Still hoping it's a bro hiding for you x
@LondonKez I have had this before, and recently was only a little pink though x
@MrsP4 I'm really unsure on that one, my cycles are normally 32 days and after tracking ovulation it normally happens for me around CD19 x

@Waiting2bMum, I really have no idea what is going on. I spoke to gp on the phone yesterday and he's said there's nothing he can do until my period shows up. When it does I've to book app with nurse for bloods to check my progesterone levels. So basically just need hang around and hope it shows up soon... keep telling myself that while there's no period there is still a chance of a little bean hiding somewhere but chances are probably pretty slim at this stage.... it's so frustrating xx

@Kat9707 that is so frustrating, I do feel for you. A few of my cycles were 40/50 days long until I starting taking seven seas vitamins. There is always the odd chance you could be, I'm not getting your hopes up but I have read so many threads that some peoples were hiding from pregnancy tests. Either way I hope you either get a positive or AF shows up asap so you can start TTC again x

One question iv been meaning to ask all of you...when you use OPK non digital how many positive do you get and for how many days??
