Who’s with?

Things I’m changing... massive coffee reduction... swapping from stevia, as I’ve read it can maybe have a contraceptive effect and I probably have about 8 teaspoons a day ....

Ava pregnancy calculator now says it should take us an average of 4 months.

This will be month 3.

We DTD virtually every day during the fertile window, and about two-three times during ‘peak’. Maybe I’ll give him a break 🤣

I’ve also reduced my exercise slightly.

This month we used pre-seed and I bought opks.

Partner has bought a home fertility test that’s arriving on Monday.

What’s everyone else doing?

Day 17 of cycle and day 5 of flashing smilies, worried I'm not going to ovulate this month. My cycles have been all over the place since having ds.
The physical signs of ovulation are there though so we'll still try.

codenameduchess · 06/02/2019 12:02

How is everyone doing?
I haven't seen any sign of af still but had a positive OPK on CD31! BFN on hcg tests and I'm either 3 or 9DPO now. My predicted af has gone from end of jan to 4th feb then 17th... DTD at the 'right' time for any possible O but not feeling hopeful this month

Bluebell9 · 06/02/2019 15:56

@codenameduchess are your periods normally regular?

AF isn't due for me till 22nd Feb so I'm supposed to be in my fertile period at the moment.

MummyBearBoo · 07/02/2019 08:18

Can I join my AF is due tomorrow so I'm just at the end of the TWW so my AF will either start or I'll wait til Saturday and test!!

Broodyaf · 07/02/2019 09:50

Currently 6DPO, no symptoms.
I know it's early but I'm starting to feel like I'm out this cycle too!
I know there's a few that don't get symptoms, but most women on here do, and because we've been TTC for so long it's hard to stay positive.
Any advice anyone??

codenameduchess · 07/02/2019 10:16

@Bluebell9 sort of, I have pcos but for about 2 years have been regular- before that it was really irregular. Nothing has changed for it to suddenly go back though.

Good luck!

kaytee87 · 07/02/2019 10:37

@Broodyaf I got no pregnancy symptoms with my ds until I was about 6 weeks pregnant

Broodyaf · 07/02/2019 10:39

@kaytee87 thanks ur comment ❤️🙏

Hi ladies!
Please can join too?

On cycle #3 ttc baby #2 our DD is turning 5 this Sunday
AF showed on Monday 😥 had a good cry and then gave myself a big old shake so ready for ttc again this month.
I have been doing OP, dtd over the right fertility windows, taking pre natal vitamins since sept and going to accupunture.

Ladies I must confess... I LOVE coffee. So starting from tomorrow I'm going to try cut it down to 1 every other day and increase my water intake. And most importantly trying not to get completely obsessed and getting stressed with symptom spotting and ttc. I have even told DH that this month I don't want to talk about ttc to take the pressure off us both.

Due to ovulate mid Feb but have hidden my opks and the apps for fertility are hidden in seperate folders on my phone to stop me obsessing over dates etc etc.

Any tips, tricks or advice would be welcomed and hopefully I can help offer some support/advice too.

Aims xx

MummyBearBoo · 08/02/2019 13:42

@Broodyaf -I've been pregnant twice and never had symptoms until 4 and 5 weeks respectively so it doesn't mean your not if you have no symptoms yet! Xx

Broodyaf · 08/02/2019 13:49

Thanks @MummyBearBoo - so maybe there's still a bit of hope for me get! 🙏

What about you? Did AF arrive today? Or have u tested?x

MummyBearBoo · 08/02/2019 17:01

No AF yet testing tommorw if not arrived by then! X

Broodyaf · 08/02/2019 17:07

@MummyBearBoo I dunno how ur holding out!! Ur a good'n!

MummyBearBoo · 08/02/2019 17:12

Just too scared to do it now I know it's better if I have FMU and if it gets to tomorrow I'm actually late!

MummyBearBoo · 08/02/2019 17:12

@Broodyaf -when will you test do you think? Xx

Broodyaf · 08/02/2019 18:59

I'm a serial tester. I have a heap of ICs and I started testing when I was only 6DPO, even though I KNEW it would be negative 🙄😂😂😂
I think cos I've been trying so long I'm at the stage where "sure it HAS to have worked this month" and so im testing ridiculously early. And I'll continue to test every day until AF shows it's ugly head (hopefully not this month thou 🙏🤞)

I wish I had ur will power!!

MummyBearBoo · 08/02/2019 20:06
