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 🤣

@Hewie30 ahh sorry to hear you had one too! Thank you! fingers crossed! Xx

@Hewie30 I know, just feel sorry for him to have to go through it all at such a young age when it isn't his fault, I did one last month when I had EWCM and it came up positive to my eyes but might have still been slightly negative

This month I've done OPKs from CD12 but today it was a stark negative! So LH could have gone? Had some cramping today and BO 🤦🏼‍♀️(tmi) but haven't noticed any EWCM as such

Scrap the no EWCM part just seen some when I went to the toilet 😱🤪 so does that mean ovulation day?

@Hewie30

Of course I will 🥰 you guys are on my journey now ! And I can't wait to be on yours!
No more symptoms- had some cramps in my stomach but I think that's more wind ( sorry TMI ) 😂 I hope it's just that anyway!
I worry about every little twinge x

Xxx

@flossy12 when you get a positive opks that means your due to ovulate within 32-36 hours so best thing to do is dtd from when you got your positive and the next few days so I'd dtd today too hun of you got cramps and cm ☺️😁 xx

The single was my OPK yesterday and the 3 I've done today seem much less positive so my surge is defo going so time to DTD for 3 days 😆👏🏼 @Hewie30 feeling so happy that I finally saw myself have a surge this cycle using OPKs I even have some left over

@flossy12 eeeek yessss definatly positive on the single one get dtd hun 🤞🤪 xx

@Hewie30 hehe yes that was yesterday 😅 been DTD loads! Just e3 more days to go then we can rest 😅😅 supprised I'm not sore

Ok this is kind of weird, I had a really strange dream last night where me and OH went through a brief trance-like experience of being able to see the future when we held hands. Only lasted about 20 seconds and all flashed in front of us very quickly so the only thing that stuck with me is some futuristic public transport 😆

In the dream we got accosted by a group of thugs straight after the vision so I woke up - this was about 2 am and I woke up with a sharp pain in my pelvis.

A bit of nausea this morning but tbh I don't have a great stomach at the best of times, trying to not read much into any of this as I'm only 9DPO. Am I losing the plot? 😄

@flossy12 Hahaha I'm surprised your not too!!! So I think I've been getting ewcm but not 100% sure, I've been dtd just incase I am ovulating early, my opks need to arrive pronto!! 😂. I might have to dtd every other day to cover my original cycle too so that means every other day for 2 weeks that's alot to ask of OH 😟 xx

@Raizelrea Wowza that's a crazy dream isn't it 😂😂. Hopefully this means something and you'll get your positive! But cramps at 9dpo can be implantation? Xxx

@Hewie30 aww bless him! Plenty of steak dinners then 😂👏🏼 I am officially 1DPO today 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

@flossy12 Haha yeah most definitely!! 😂. Yaaaay!! The 2ww starts!! Fingers crossed 🤞🤞 xx

@Hewie30 all finger and toes crossed 😅 xx

@Hewie30 No idea why I wrote 9 DPO, I'm 5-7 DPO at most - clearly I'm losing the plot already 😄 How's things with you?

@Raizelrea Haha! 😂, Way ahead of yourself hun! Implantation can start from 6dpo though I've heard so keep a eye out 😁🤪. How you feeling?

I'm good thanks hun, I think I'm ovulating early this month I'm only CD10 and got ewcm and pains in my overies and boobs so dtd just incase then going to use my opks when they arrive to see if I ovulate next week when I'm meant to or whether this was it now! Xxx

@Hewie30 Clearly, I wish I was 9DPO haha! Sounds like you're on top of things (no pun intended 😄). You're at the part of the cycle when you feel like you can affect the outcome, it's weird in the luteal phase when you just wait and get overly paranoid about twinges. I'm very bloated and hungrier than usual but tbh that can just be the impending PMS!

@Raizelea Haha of course!! Try keep yourself busy so your not thinking about it too much although that is really hard to do! Hahaha that's hailarious 😂😂, I'm trying my best 😛. This cycles been confusing so far so I'm just trying to cover all bases. Yeah this is true, this for me is the most stressful time though because I don't want miss ovulation or an opportunity xx

Is having a massive crisis of confidence at work an early symptom if so I'm there today
In fact in general at the moment, not even 100% confident I've got my dates right and think I might have ovulated week later than I originally thought

@clareb707 Bless you hun! I'm not sure about confidence but mood swings are? Why do you think you ovulated later? Xx

Been tracking my temp and got a spike later than expected but didn't twig at the time, and now I can see it in the chart it makes sense
Gah who knows, will see what happens I guess.
I definitely more emotional this week than normal but that could either be early symptom or the fact that I'm due on.
Green is when I thought I was ovulating, the line is temp based. Did an opk test yesterday and there was a faint line but I'm confused by what that means too. You'd never guess I was a scientist with all this confusion about stuff like this

@clareb707 Ah don't worry hun all of this is so confusing!! I'm a HCA so doing nursing you'd think I'd know too but temps and opks confuse me 😂😂. Dtd just incase to cover all bases. My app said I'm not due ovulate until next week but I did a opk yesterday and it's fairly dark so think I might ovulate more this weekend this next xx

@claireb707 I think it's hard to analyse charts unless you have a couple of months data really to show the trend. I'm starting to chart my BBT from tomorrow (meant to start this morning but completely forgot!).
You will generally always get some sort of line on OPKs as you always have LH, it just spikes before ovulation so the line will get darker and darker then once you have ovulated it will go back to very faint. Again you will notice the difference once you have been doing it a while.

This is just such a long process! Want my FW to hurry up so I feel like I can actually do something.... CD6 at the moment so not long to go. Planning on doing SMEP this month if we can manage it as I want to throw everything at this cycle!

Hi @Makeafamily19 you and I must be similar points in our cycles.I'm CD7 today after chemical pregnancy last month, I've been testing today with ovulation tests, and wish my fw would hurry along! it's all the waiting isn't it? Waiting for fw, waiting for af... or hopefully bfp!!!

Hi @Nicecupofcoco yes I'm CD8 today so same as you. I've been doing ovulation tests but not got anything yet. I normally ovulate around CD12 I think as I have been roughly tracking it for a while now. The waiting is definitely the worst! Then if you're out you have to wait a whole month!
