TTC Baby number 1 - Looking for buddies #2

Hi girls, started new thread because the old one is running out.
Tag anyone I have forgotten:

Absolutely shattered again tonight and like I could go to bed now, was in bed by 9.30 last night and asleep by 9.45 - almost unheard of for me. My sleep app registered 7 1/2 hours sleep - I'm normally a 6 - 6 1/2 hours a night girl

@Gigi318 Thanks hon, I'm ok, work's been a bit pants on top of everything else but at least I'm not hyperfocused on TTC which is handy! I had my peak on Monday according to OPKs, had loads of EWCM for the first time in a long time so feeling semi-hopeful as we DTD both Sunday and Monday. How are you?

@claireb707 congratulations on the new job! (sorry I'm days behind 😂)

@Gigi318 finally a break through tonight for me as having a light bleed. Think probably withdrawal rather than full AF as light pink/brown and not much but still the first sign of anything since coming off the mini pill so hoping things moving in the right direction! Have spent the last week being an absolute teary hormonal mess haha

@Raizelrea OMG yay! It's like where you've not been focused on TTC your body is just doing its own thing and 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you babe. This could be a silver lining at the end of a very tough few weeks for you both 💙💖
I'm doing okay. Think I'm also going to take much more of a step back this month. Try to not think about it much or plan anything and just see what happens. I can't take any more obsessing 🙈so I may also try to stay off here a bit more!

@Peaceandloves thanks amazing babe. Hurrah, finally getting somewhere. Will you still last that as CD1? Yayy you can start to track things now woohoo xx

Morning ladies how are we? x
@Raizelrea welcome back x how are you? Oh I hope you caught it this month, would be fantastic for both of you after tough time x
@Gigi318 how are you? I hope af is not too painful?
@claireb707 it might be a sign!! fingers crossed x
I'm on CD11 today Flo says O on Saturday, Ovia on Monday lol x I have not done my opk today yet, will do it late morning x
I'm going to be on holiday when my next af is due, so fingers crossed she won't arrive to spoil my hols :) x

@Gigi318 hmm so I spoke to soon. Bled very lightly for a couple of hours then absolutely nothing all night. Maybe this was my withdrawal bleed?

I'm doing okay! AF not painful. It's oddly not like my usual, it's more crampy rather than the pain I'm used to. It's so odd!!

@Gigi318 is it in its full flow? x My friend had really crampy af which she doesn't normally experience and a light af, a week later she had a BFP x sorry I really do not want to get your hopes up, but you never know x

@Katie1109 it's light, and I always have light AFs really. It's honestly so crampy on the one side and I am mega bloated. I feel so off today! I had a lot of pain yesterday and worried something was wrong so did a test and BFN. Yesterday would have been 15DPO, but I classed as CD2. Hmmm that's interesting. That would of course be amazing but I doubt it 🙈
But I never cramp. Never! I usually have excruciating pain as soon as it lands. This time is cramping on the one side and continuous cramping. Not painful as such just more niggly. So it's just frustrated. I'm also annoyed with all the bloat. As, again, I never bloat. But I feel huge!!! Xx

@Gigi318 maybe give it couple more days and test again, just in case x sorry it's so crampy, I know the feeling too well x Treat yourself to something nice x I always find staying physically active during af helps x do some stretching, go for a casual jog x if that's your kind of thing of course x

@Katie1109 yes I'm very active. I've taken some paracetamol just to try and ease the discomfort. It's more that I'm aware of it then in pain. I'd much rather my 12-24 hours of numbing pain & contractions as I just take co-codamol and sleep then I am pain free completely after that. This is just annoying!!!
I may do. I weirdly still have swollen, sore boobs too. My mind is definitely messing with me this month. It sucks!
How are you today?? Xx

That’s good @Gigi318 hope you can manage it and have it over and done with soon x
I’m ok, nothing to report at all. These are my opks today. I’m a bit worried because I thought they should be darker if I am meant to ovulate on Saturday? Although Ovia says Monday so who knows lol x is opk going to show a line only when I’m in FW?

@Gigi318 how you doing today?

Hows everyone else? I'm 6dpo today beginning to get inpatient now 😂

Morning ladies x how are we?
@claireb707 just over a week to go for you! Come on you can do this :)
@Gigi318 how are you feeling this morning?
I’m CD 12 today. Meant to O either tomorrow or Monday, but it seems like my opks are getting lighter, so confused :( maybe I missed it and it was earlier than expected? x

Try and do one about 4-6 pm I get my peak in the afternoon

I'm now 6dpo, feeling really tired again (good job we didn't have Friday night plans), and I can't tell whether I've eaten too much or I've got the beginnings of crampy feelings.

Or am I just massively over thinking again

@claireb707 it's a bit early to have symptoms

I know but I'm never normally this tired, I've been in bed by 9.30 every night this week and asleep before 10 which is unheard of for me. I normally struggle get to sleep before 10.30/11.

Hi guys,

Wondered if I could join in? I'm massively new to TTC. I'm 25 and just stopped taking the mini pill recently. I know I might be in for a rocky road due to PCOS.

Waiting for my cycle to come back to whatever normal is but getting on with dad anyway because why not!

Glad to be on this journey with you all.

Hi all, how is everyone?
Welcome @Imadreamer44 my friend has PCOS and conceived the first time she tried so it's not always rocky, good luck!

I'm 6DPO today, really want the next week to hurry up, but that's mainly as I have a week off work then haha.

I think it is too early for it to be anything @claireb707 but you never know I guess. I'm always tired so I wouldn't notice a difference! Are you going to test early?

@Makeafamily19 not sure, I'm normally 27 day cycles but my last 2 off the pill have been 31 and 32 and because I ovulate early (days 11 and 12) I still may have a long time to wait so not sure if I should or not. May see if anything else pops up to give me a sign

Thanks @Makeafamily19. We're just going to take it slow and see what happens. Trying not to pressure ourselves too much.

Feeling excited for this new step in our lives though.

Hey all,

Hope I'm not too late to join in here.
OH and I have been ttc for the last 5 months.

After the first few misses, I've been using the clearblue advanced to pinpoint peak days. It's been useful. My husband works nights, so we don't see each other much for most of the week. To say this makes things harder is an understatement.

Usually 30 day cycles.
Last peak was 17/18 October so just a waiting game this month.

Had a few odd days, up all weird hours at night. But I've had a cold/cough the last week, so difficult to know if it's due to that or if our luck is in.

Gah my fingers aren't working this morning, normally 28 day cycles last 2 have been 32 and 34 😂😂

Hi everyone! Sorry just taking a step back and trying to relax more so will check in periodically I think! How is everyone??
