2019 babies - here we come! 🙏🏻

[EmmTTC]

Hi guys, starting a new thread for people who are hoping for their first babas to arrive, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or rainbow babies 👶🏻 🌈 all in 2019!

I’ll introduce myself. Im 27. I got married in 2017. I got pregnant last February but lost my angel 👼 at 20 weeks. It was the most horrible time of my life but I feel like I’ve come out the other side much stronger in myself and my relationship. I’m now on cycle 5. I use flo the app to track ovulation but I think last month and previous I’ve noticed I ovulate a couple of days later than what it tells me. I don’t want to start using OPKS yet and trust my body. (I think I feel when I ovulate)

Feel free to join, let me know a bit about you. And let’s hope we can keep each other sane through this TTC journey.

😘🙏🏻✌️

Hi EmmTTC we are trying for #2. DD is 4yr in march. This is my first cycle and I'm the same as you in that I know roughly when I ovulate and recognise the signs my body shows. I use an app called my period tracker. I've been off the pill 6 months but still using protection. My periods are very regular and spot on with the tracker. This week is my fertile window so I'm interested and excited to see what happens.
So sorry to hear of your loss, I can't imagine what you both went through.
Fingers crossed 2019 is our year xx

Hi @EmmaTTC very sorry to hear of your loss. I hope 2019 brings you a special rainbow baby.
I’m 29 and I got married last year. On cycle 7 and not even a hint of a bfp yet. I’ve tried SMEP, temping, checking cm, dtd every day, dtd every other day, opks both cheap and expensive, eating pineapple in 2ww, drinking grapefruit juice in the week leading up to fw. No luck so far!

@EmmTTC, so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how awful it is to lose a much wanted baby. I hope this is your year, and wish the other ladies the best of luck, too!

This is our first month TTC #2. Our first is a little boy aged 4 months, he's gorgeous. Last time around, we were pretty strict about tracking my ovulation and DTD at the right time. This time we're going to be more relaxed and just take see what happens. I'm on CD21, and know from my last time TTC that I normally ovulate early, on day 9 or 10. Took a negative pregnancy test this morning (I'm hopeless at waiting!).

Hi everyone! I am 29 and TTC #1. This is my 6th cycle and I am using Clear Blue Ovulation tracker but still not received a positive and on CD18... My cycles have lasted 25 (1,2 and 5) days and 31 days (3 and 4) so I am hoping this is a longer cycle as starting to stress myself out about having a short Luteal Phase. If no luck this month will start temping! Is anyone taking any supplements other than Folic Acid to help? I have been on pregnacare for the last two cycles and started using pre seed this cycle. Fingers crossed we all get some BFPs this year!

Hello! I'm 33 TTC #1 and on cycle 9! I'm using flo app too alongside checking my Cm as it's usually ew 2-4 days before ov. Last month over Christmas we dtd every 2 days from the end of my period until 2 days after ovulation to try and cover all bases. I'm currently 12dpo and getting a touch of brown spotting, barely there and getting some twinges in my belly but nothing close to the scale of my usual af cramps and back ache (it's usually pretty bad) did a test this morning bfn but if I'm implanting late today then it won't show for a few more days. Af due Friday so will wait and see if it shows! Good luck to all 💕💕

Hi everyone

I’m 24 and TTC #2. My DH and I have a little girl who’s 5 months and this is our first cycle.

@EmmTTC so sorry to read about your loss. Fx this is your year! Good luck to everyone xx

@claireb2203 oh good luck for your first cycle! Did it take long to conceive your wee one? Fingers crossed for you! X

@Chanel05 aw Fingers crossed we will get our BFPS soon. What do you think of OPKs? I think they work for some but seem so strict on when you can take them, how much your water intake is etc and the littlest thing can affect them? Although I’ve had no experience at all!

@zoeroma aw 4 months how cute! I want to do the same and have my children close together!

@kins00 I’ve never tried Opks so can’t help you there, hopefully one of the other girls can give you some insight. As for supplements I take high dose of folic acid due to SB risk and a seperate vitamin D which my husband takes alongside me. Apparently zinc is amazing for your partner to take. So I’ve heard in past few days! Worth a read up on!

@thejollytrolleydolly ohh it does sound promising for implantation! I’ve got everything crossed for you! Keep us updated! When are you gonna test again?

@mamatodoodles aww how cute! First cycle hopefully brings you luck! Are you using opks/apps/Cm screening?

Thanks for all your messages reg my loss 💓 feeling the love.

I’m currently 5 days until ovulation so started DTD last night but my husband is away for a few nights so hopefully he’ll come back ready to baby make 😂👶🏻

Hi everyone,

I'm 24 and we're TTC #2, we already have a 2 year old little boy I have just came off the pill so this is cycle 1 for us. I'm currently tracking using Ovia just to get an idea of my cycle but we're taking a relaxed approach and hopefully.

Good luck to you all and hope to see all your bfps soon!

@EmmTTC I think I'm going to wait until Friday to see if af has shown by then and if not I'll probably test Saturday morning 🤞🏼 really hope this is the one!!

Good luck for you this cycle, when are you due to ovulate? X

@Abbeylouise welcome to the group and good luck for first cycle 😘

@thejollytrolleydolly ahh how exciting. Good on you I’m a POAS addict 🙄 let us know how you get on! Due to ovulate Monday judging by my last two cycles. 🤞🏻 AF is always very regular I’m very lucky 🍀

@EmmTTC the clear blue digital ones are good to be fair as but they are pricey each month. The cheapie opks aren’t too bad but I find I have to limit my water intake for them to work effectively which is obviously not good for making ewcm which is important for sperm to travel! Not going to use any this time just going to dtd from cycle day 8- cycle day 22 every other day! What opks are you going to go for?

Hi all,

I'm month 16 TTC baby 3. I have 2 boys 11 & 6. I had 2 miscarriages before my youngest and took us a while to fall pregnant again.
We have decided to start trying for our 3rd and final baby but after 16 months I'm starting to feel like it's not meant to be! I went to the doctors last month as kept putting it off but doctor was lovely! I had my progesterone levels checked day 21 of my cycle last month and results have came back fine so seeing doctor again next week. I'm current CD11 and trying the SMEP this month so fingers crossed!
Xx

@EmmTTC I'm due to ovulate Sunday so our cycles are pretty much around the same time! Xx

Hi! Im ttc#2, Im 35 and have a DS who is 2 1/2. I came off the pill a few months ago and have been tracking my cycles on the flo app also. I am 11 dpo according to the app, is this too early to poas with a One Step test?! I think theyre almost as sensitive as the First Response tests.

I have tried not too symptom spot but definitely seem to have sore boobs which was a giveaway with my first!

@chanel05 I’m not sure I will. I might try March if nothing happens in these two months! What stage of your cycle are you at now?

@prayingfora2019bubba aw how hard for you? TTC can be so difficult and feel so unfair! What supplements are you on? Have you researched baby aspirin? People with previous miscarriages swear by it. But I have no experience there. Worth a look maybe. Good luck this month! Fingers crossed for you xxx

@claireb2203 aww yes! The TWW is so much easier when there is someone going through it the same time as you!

@Coffeeandcake1 I think I may be the wrong person to ask because I’m a POAS addict 😂 but I would say 11dpo isn’t to early? I think others would agree. Considering people are testing from 8/9dpo and getting faint lines. Obviously it’s best to wait til our missed period but testing is the only thing we are in control off in this journey so you test when you want to id say!

Who am I kidding, I have zero willpower to wait until after my period is due!

Welcome and good luck to the ladies who have joined us! I have everything crossed for you all :)

I got a negative again today at 12/13 dpo, so I'm assuming I'm out for this month. It's fine, though, a BFP our first month of trying for #2 wasn't really very likely!

Af got me really early this month! I thought it was implant bleeding as I was only 12dpo but no 😓 I am getting no cramping or backache which I usually get really bad so I'll see how it progresses but it's quite a heavy flow so I assume it's just the dreaded witch and I'm just trying to convince myself otherwise!!

Good luck everyone ❤️

@coffeeandcake1 good luck and let us know how you get on! 🤞🏻

Aw girls sorry to hear you both think your out this month. Every month is so frustrating! But AF does mean cycle day one of another cycle and another shot at it! Easier said than done though. Every month before AF when I know I’m waiting for it knowing I’m not pregnant is awful. Tend to actually feel better when AF does arrive.

Its faint but I think its there

@Coffeeandcake1 that is very clear to me! Congratulations xx

@Coffeeandcake1 we are ttc#2 on first cycle. Is this your 1st cycle?

Thank you. Omg so excited, so much going through my head now! Fingers crossed little bean stays cosy in there.

First cycle actually trying, have dtd several time last month but not really at the right times. Cant believe it!

It's so exciting. I'm due to ovulate Sunday according to my app and how my body is spot on every month. We have dtd every other day. There are some weird feelings going on in my tummy, like fullness, tight stomach etc. But don't think it's anything yet as not sure I've fully ovulate xx
