CD3 TTC

[Nova324]

Hi Everyone
so as you can tell AF arrived this month which means back onto TTC. Im on cycle day 3 so just thought i'd see if anyone else was on the same timeline as me so we can talk about stuff through out the month. I don't really have anyone to talk about all this with as I don't want all my family knowing we are TTC and also my DP gets really weirded out by all the ins and outs of it all.. anybody elses like that?
Just some background. I came off the pill after 10 years in April so this is my 3rd cycle.. as far as TTC goes haven't been trying trying but this month I've decided we're really going for it poor DP has no idea

Hi all was wondering if anyone can help. I'm on CD 14 and I'm predicted to be ovulating today but my CM is sticky and not egg white at all?! I DTD on CD 11 and 12. Do you think I've already ovulated? Am I still in with a chance?

Hi @Wishtobeamamma it would be hard to say.. would you normally ovulate around this time? are your cycles regular? have you been using opks? I wouldn't really know too much to do with CM cause I can never work it out.. but I Ov'd on SAT and didn't have any kind of CM that I noticed.

Hi girlies
how are you both getting on? I'm still in the TWW but AF should be due SAT (ish) havent had any spotting or too many symptoms for anything so who knows!
@Skyla01 are you feeling more positive about this cycle? are you trying anything new?
@amiejb25 how are you feeling now with your BFP? many more symptoms etc?

@Nova324 I'm waiting for ovulation now. TTC seems to involve a lot of waiting! We're getting started with smep again tomorrow. My app still says 15 days until ovulation! But I've really cut back on exercise last few weeks & eating more. Hoping that might help shorten my cycles. Also going to use conceive+ as I read using saliva as lube is a bad idea. Cycle no.4 for us, hoping we're getting there soon.

Are you feeling optimistic this month?

yeah it really is alot of waiting around @skyla01 oh do you think exercise can effect it? yeah I read that about saliva as well but I dont see how it can hurt SO bad.. people do it all the time and get PG. Im not really feeling anything right now lol.. we only managed to DTD on day of OV not before or after so I'm really wishful thinking lol. also just worried if no BFP that AF will take forever to come!

Sounds like you have DTD at just the right time!

I am quite an intense exerciser & my bmi/body fat is on the low side so I've decided to cut back just in case. I think moderate exercise is fine / encouraged.

well we will see @Skyla01 cant see that one time being IT!
ahh right.. i have been going for PT sessions twice a week for that last few months.. so if anything it is probably just helping me to get more fit! (hopefully)

Hi @Skyla01 @amiejb25

just a wee update!

Mega congrats!! How many dpo are you? Do you have any symptoms? Anything different you did this cycle?

Sorry lots of questions!

HAHA it's OK @Skyla01 well I took that test on Friday and today I'm about 18dpo. no symptoms really.. just thought AF was due as I was getting a few spots everyday but nothing else really! and no nothing different this cycle.. just did the OPKs and that was it. no extra DTD or anything like that! still doesn't feel real!

@Nova324 so pleased to hear of your BFP! Wishing you a happy 9 months!

@Nova324 yay huge congratulations! Fingers crossed all goes well 💕
I'm currently 6+2 and all appears to be going well fingers crossed though!
@Skyla01 how are you doing? Xx
