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 🤣

@Gigi318 Crying does change nothing your right but sometimes it's good to let it out and not let it build up 😊. Whaoo!! That's great!!! When's your fertile window this month do you think? Im hoping I'll know what's going on by Saturday, I have a hospital appt where their using local and they always ask if your pregnant so I might have to say I don't know but don't think so 🤷

@Hewie30 oh absolutely. I'm such a crier in life 🤣 very emotional person. And dramatic too 🙊 and you always feel better once you've let it all out. So that helps 👌🏻 yes it would be good to know by then, wouldn't it. Absolutely. I had a facial last week and was like should I say anything? Glad I didn't, I would have felt a fool 😂🙈
I think my window will be 7th-8th BUT also wondering if I ovulated later last month, so plan to do every other say up until then, then 6th-8th and maybe then 10th-11th to be sure. May then just carry on every other day just in case 🤣 well, if I can manage it. May be absolutely DONE by then haha! What about you? Any idea when your window could be if you are only cycle 5?

Sorry girls TMI but I don’t know what this is. I left my FMU in a closed pot and just had a look at it. There is a white cloudy something formed on the bottom. Any ideas? Can you see it?

Scientist hat on here, it's just particulates within your urine settling down as its been stood. Nothing to worry about. Before you use it to test I'd give it a good mix

Katie1109 · 25/09/2019 11:55

Thanks @claireb707 I panicked as I have never seen anything like that lol x

Gigi318 · 25/09/2019 12:14

@Katie1109 don't worry, I think I would freak too! When I did mine and saw the FMU in a pot, it was so dark and cloudy I was convinced I had a UTI despite no symptoms 🤣 odd what it does to you, hey! Hope the FRs arrive soon!

flossy12 · 25/09/2019 13:14

@Gigi318 couldn't believe it when I saw it 😭😩 aww I hope it stops for you soon 😘

@Hewie30 aww yeah I'll miss out group chat though!! Will try keep up to date as I can, thank you ☺️ yeah I'll be going to get it soon as I finish my nights 😆

Gigi318 · 25/09/2019 13:16

@flossy12 it was meant to be. I love it! When I'm shopping for my own baby bits in the future, I will definitely think of you whenever I see a peanut on anything 🤣💖 oh and @Hewie30 for a pea! Hope you think of me when you see a poppy seed 🙊🤣
Thanks chick, it's super light now as always. Should be done by the weekend 🙌🏻

Katie1109 · 25/09/2019 14:46

Definite BFN on my FMU, so moving on now x

Elle1992 · 25/09/2019 14:52

I am so confused. I had some spotting on Monday (literally a wipe and it was away, never experienced it before) then today I have bleeding which feels like AF it's completely different to Mondays and AF is due Friday!
I think I'm out!

Gigi318 · 25/09/2019 14:59

@Katie1109 sorry to hear that chick, BUT you are CD8 or so now, and you've basically fast-tracked into the best period where you can actually make things happen. Hurrah. I'm far from a doctor but I was thinking about it and perhaps there's less lining to remove and that's why the bleeding was more like spotting? Either way, DTD time soon woohoo!
And ladies, don't you laugh if I am well off. Just a theory 🤣

Gigi318 · 25/09/2019 15:10

@Elle1992 oh no chick, sorry to hear that. Perhaps AF is early. So frustrating. Lots of us in the same boat this month!

flossy12 · 25/09/2019 17:15

@GigI 318 aww thank you 😘 yes defo 😆 I saw a pea one yesterday @Hewie30 !! Ooohhh not long till your fertile week then!! 😆👏🏼

Gigi318 · 25/09/2019 17:21

@flossy12 not at all. Going to start on Monday and just see how we go. I'm so excited (and not just because it's been a while 😏🤣). I have such good thoughts about this month. And like you said, you just DTD loads and bang - hello Peanut 💖💙

flossy12 · 25/09/2019 17:24

@Gigi318 yeah you get yours hun 😉😉 I know! Tbh I didn't hunk we caught as not I remember we only DTD 3 times on the day of peak and then once the day after then that was it until I tested 😱

Gigi318 · 25/09/2019 17:39

@flossy12 babe, you kill me 'we only DTD 3 times on the day of peak' 🤣🤣🤣 babe I think you're good hahaha! And it obviously worked!!! Although I am enjoying resting at the moment and not having to worry or overthink about it all. A nice break before it all begins again 👌🏻 for the last time this year, I hope 👌🏻💫

flossy12 · 25/09/2019 17:45

@Gigi318 yeah I suppose that was excessive 😅😳 it was OH think he was getting fed up of me moaning for a baby 😅😂 yeah just relax and enjoy it, sometimes a hot bath and glass of rosé is better anyway 🤣 don't know how these people DTD everyday

Raizelrea · 25/09/2019 17:50

@flossy12 Lmao "only 3 times on peak day" - how many would you consider optimum??? 😆😆😆 There'd be no actual sperm left in the semen if you did any more than that I reckon

flossy12 · 25/09/2019 17:52

🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ @Raizelrea 😂 did the trick though!

Gigi318 · 25/09/2019 18:10

@flossy12 hahaha love it. Hope OH does the same for me 🤣 funnily enough, I have just had a bath with glass of wine and now making pasta. Thought why not, as AF arrived 🙊👌🏻

@Raizelrea Floss knows her stuff. All hail Queen Flossy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

flossy12 · 25/09/2019 18:20

@Gigi318 oh my gosh! That sounds lush 😍 we're cooking steak pie and chips 😂 easy tea before work, if it stays down 🤞🏻

Gigi318 · 25/09/2019 18:24

@flossy12 LOVE pie at this time of year 🙌🏻 yes hope it stays down for you chick! So excited for Saturday for you. Show us pics if you want 😁🥰

Katie1109 · 25/09/2019 19:27

You know that feeling when you just feel something is off with your body? I was having af like cramps this afternoon followed by being sick. I took a one step and I swear I can see something! I have taken it out because there is think plastic on it and reflects on the photo. I have also inverted it. Are you seeing what I’m seeing or am I mad?!?! Line to the left from the control line, ignore the pink dye on the very right.

Katie1109 · 25/09/2019 19:58

Yes it’s on the left @Gigi318 x
