TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies

[Hewie30]

Hi Ladies 🙋,

I'm new to the forum so thought I'd look for some TTC buddies.
I'm 30 and TTC baby number 1, I came off the pill beginning of May and had a withdrawal bleed a few days later then got my first AF 4 weeks after that. Last month I sadly had a chemical it was gutting seeing the faint line go but I guess it wasn't my time!
AF arrived on time Sunday so looks like my cycle ranges from 34-35 days.
I'm currently taking pregnacare and using the Ovia app for ovulation, I'm thinking if I don't concieve by month 6 I'll try ovulation sticks. Onward to month 4 I go 🤣

Thanks ladies 🤗♥️. Still feeling a bit gutted but I understand where he's coming from. Hopefully I'll get my BFP this month so I won't have to think into next month 😂. But if AF comes I'll accept that it may take me longer then I thought it may do.

I don't seen to get much ewcm although I have been getting random days of it, problem is if I ovulated the other day I had no symptoms of it but I did the other week so it does mean if I go by that I could miss it but I just have to remain positive and believe it will happen when the time is right 🤷.

Hope your all feeling okay? @nicecupofcoco That's amazing!! I'm so happy for you 😍. Course you can stay here with us! We'd love to hear about your 9 month journey

@Hewie30 thank you lovely! ❤️
Yes crossing fingers you get your bfp this month, but if not then try not to worry to much about the ewcm and just try to dtd as often as you can through out your cycle. I did read somewhere that some woman don't get much ewcm, but it doesn't mean anything other than being a little harder to detect when you could be ovulating. If you just try to dtd as much as you can then I'm sure you will catch that window.
Hope your feeling OK about it all. Also not to get your hopes up too much, but I had more ewcm after ovulating this cycle before my positive test, so I'm crossing my fingers thats why you keep seeing it now. Xx

@Hewie30 exactly and I firmly believe that you could make it work without tracking. It might make you feel more in tune with your body. And no harm in just being aware of 13-15 days after day one of your period - just in your mind. Or slightly longer for you. You may find you want to dtd more at that time, and there's your sign. And exactly, you could already have a little sticky one in there - not out unless AF is flowing!!

Then, before long, we'll be joining @Nicecupofcoco in the antenatal/preg threads 👌🏻💫

Nice to know that hun, I have more after I thought I's ovulated too. It's gone more creamy now. What did yours do? If thats not tmi 😂🙈

@Gigi318 yeah it started few days after I'd ovulated and I remember thinking maybe I didn't ovulate for some reason and body was gearing up to ovulate again. It was clear but stretchy, had the odd dry day in between but then it went creamy but stretchy, to be honest it looked like someone with a heavy cold had sneezed in my knickers! 😂 Grim!
And it is still creamy now although not as stretchy but more than I would usually have before af. Hope that helps! 😂

@Nicecupofcoco yes super helpful. On Tuesday I had lots of EWCM and now it's creamier. And don't usually notice that. Handy to know, thank you. Jesus - how we analyse things 😂 Roll on next Saturday. I always look forward to the weekend but now I'm going to be even more excited 🙌🏻🤞🏻👌🏻

Eeeek! Fingers crossed then @Gigi318 xx

@nicecupofcoco @Gigi318 Thanks guys, I'm so glad I have you all to talk too 😍. Yeah hopefully this month is a sticky bean! I had odd stomach sensations yesterday and feel so sick but I felt sick last month and it was nothing so don't want to think into it😂.
That's true alot of women do, just feels like a step back for me because my cycles have been all over the place, I think if I knew when I ovulate I'd feel better but I'll keep an eye on symptoms etc and hopefully I'll be like you Gigi and be in sync with my body!

Oh really? Nicecupofcoco, it's been switching from creamy and sticky to just really creamy sorry if tmi 😂

@Hewie30 maybe your cycles have been all over the place due to stress or worrying about it all? Maybe you'll find it'll regulate a little more. Or you'll get a BFP. Either way... 👌🏻 eek so hard not to look into it though, isn't it!

Hehehe I never find it tmi, I need to know so I can compare and asses 🤣🙌🏻

@Hewie30 that sounds promising then! Roll on test day! Xx

@gigi318 Nah I haven't felt stressed these past few months, I think either I have irregular cycles or its the pregnacare because I've heard that can extend cycles.
Eeek fingers crossed this is it for us this month 🤞🤪

@nicecupofcoco Fingers crossed 🤞🤞, did you have any symptoms leading up to your positive?

@Hewie30 that's amazing then. And yes I'm thinking pregnacare. Maybe you could switch to just doing folic acid? See if it helps? Although I'm not an expert so 😂🙈 yes fingers crossed for us!

Good question for Coco!! Tell us, tell us!

@Gigi318 Yeah I'm going to stop taking it for a few months and just take normal folic acid and see if that shortens my cycle at all 😊.

Haha yeaaaah do tell 😂😜

@Hewie30 excellent idea. I think it'll help you 👏🏻 I just hate anything that messes with my cycle. Always think it can't be good for us, can it!? Just a personal preference!

Hehe, oh we're in suspense!

@gigi318 Yeah exactly!! If it's not effecting your cycle hun then don't worry 😘. Mine have been all over the place that's the only reason why I'm seeing if it's that.

I've just had lots of ewcm well very stretchy

@Hewie30 OMG I have the BEST feeling about you. Urgh, I hope I'm right 🤞🏻 I'm really excited for you!! I'm not on pregnacare, just regular vits and need to pick up some folic acid now!

@Gigi318 I really hope your right too hun 🤞🤞. How you feeling? You getting much cm?

@gigi318 Oooh okay sorry hun I thought you were taking pregnacare!

@Hewie30 no, I probably should be but after hearing from lots of you on here think I will give it a miss and just go with folic alone! I'm feeling much better today. Odd bits of nausea here and there but trying not to look too much into it. And the smell of the chicken cooking is a bit 🤢🥴 CM has been creamy today. I always feel as if I'm a bit wet down there (soz) and I think I usual go through the waves of dry, then milky/chalky, wet/EW, creamy etc. So this seems to be lasting a long time. Hoping that's a good thing! How are you feeling today?

@Gigi318 yes I keep it next to my bed and grab it when I wake. Trouble is if I'm waking randomly then I'm not always asleep for 3-4 hours before I take my temp! Hopefully I'll get used to it soon.

I have a good feeling about you @Gigi318 and @Hewie30 I've heard creamy CM is a good sign! Fingers crossed for you both!

@Makeafamily19 oh yes, that's the problem. Eek, hopefully you can stay awake for long enough. I'm sure it can't be too much out anyway. It should always be higher around ovulation anyway. The thing that gets me is that its such a small increase, I worry I'd miss it 😂🙈 I do have a thermometer, but I haven't been using it!

Eek, do you?? I hope so. I really do. 🥂

Oooh first time I've seen these 😀😀😀👍👍

@claireb707 oohh exciting! Time to get busyyy!! 🤣👌🏻

@gigi318 The folic acid should be enough Hun, I wouldn't risk the pregnacare especially if it is the reason my cycles are going a tad while! Feeling sick and the chicken sounds like a positive sign, it's so hard to try and not symptom spot isn't it 😂. Especially with the cm, you hear it can mean that it's a early sign of pregnancy but also that you can get cm at any point in your cycle. Roll on next week eh!!

@makeafamily19 Thanks hun fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
