Anyone starting their TTC journey in July 2019?

[TurquoiseKiss]

Anyone in the same boat? I'm 33 and from next week DH and I will be actively trying for #1. I'm excited, nervous, trying to be chill about it all but also imagining myself with a bump celebrating Xmas this year

I started taking SS 'trying for a baby' supplements 4 weeks ago, not sure if it was their effects or not but this month my cycle was 20 days. Otherwise i'm 27 days always. Anyways, let's see what happens.

Hoping to find some pals in a similar place at the moment on here!

😂 me and my partner are the same with the ups and downs in that area, we've been together 4 years. Actually hes always had this thing where he finds it difficult to finish, it takes aaagggess like right now I'm in agony downstairs from our 2 timesoing it this week 🥺😭 I dont think I can handle a third time this week truly 😂😂 plus we are going through a

Also right now we are in a down phase so that's difficult too and we arent the type to DTD more than once a week...so this is going to be interesting 😂

I am 34 next month and my husband is 38. It's definitely the case that DTD is not as frequent as when we got together 10 years ago!! All part of the TTC journey though, I guess?

@Ellsbells112 your poor downstairs! 😱

@Wearenotyourkind literally 😂 sitting is crazy urgh haha hopefully its better for Saturday 🤣🤣

Hey girls, help me please, I finally got this on an OPK after days of taking them and having nothing, does that mean I'll ovulate today? Or tomorrow? I need to know whether I should try and DTD today or tomorrow lol x

I think you’re supposed to ovulate 24-48 hours after a positive so I’d go today and have it waiting there. Good luck!

@Wakemeupwithcoffee thank you I'll do that!

Anyone see a line?? 🧐

I can’t really see anything. Is this OPK or pregnancy test?

@Ellsbells112 gently though!!!!!!

@Wearenotyourkind 😂😂😂😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@Ellsbells112 I think if the line isn't the same darkness as the control line, then it's not a positive. Try testing again this afternoon and see how it compares? I'd DTD this evening anyway though

@Hayley94 I don't see a line. What DPO are you? I tested at 10 DPO and could see a vanishingly faint line, but wasn't able to get it to show up in a picture!

I haven't had withdrawal bleed for stopping pill on 25th August. I left it while I took son to son though so not sure but deffo a faint line x

@AlmostAlwyn I will defo take one in a few hours and defo DTD tonight Haha. Fingers crossed

@Hayley94 is this a pregnancy test or OPK?

It's a pregnancy test. Although I'm not thinking it's just an evaporation line. 🤔

You would have had to have ovulated within days of coming off the pill? Is that possible? I don’t know! Maybe take again in couple of days?

@Ellsbells112 did you do another OPK? How did it compare?

@Hayley94 I actually see where you mean when you see a line. Not sure about timings with coming off the pill though. And I'd kind of expect a positive line to be a bit further away from the control line... Test again tomorrow and let us know!

@almostalwyn it was lighter than the morning one (I drink loads of water). I'll retest tomorrow in the morning but I got EWCM today (I think that's the abbreviation) so I'm not too worried about the tests now, I'll DTD tonight and hope for the best for 2 weeks time 🙌😃

I've actually ovulated twice (or at least I think I have) so no idea. I'll re test Monday but I'm not sure to be honest 😏

Could be a double surge, rather than ovulating twice.

@Ellsbells112 I'd probably go with the cervical mucous rather than playing the OPK guessing game! Fingers crossed for 2 weeks' time!

That's a interesting read! Thanks. We DTD both times but guessing it was a waste of time now x

@Hayley94 Well, you never know. Hope you at least had fun DTD anyway

When’s your period due @Wearenotyourkind? Any symptoms? Anyone else nearly finished their tww?
