Join here please! I’m still taking my pill at the moment but current packet runs out on 7th Jan so planning to start then but not really track anything officially. I’ve been reading up about conception vitamins and going to buy some this week to start taking after new year- does anyone have recommendations for particular brands?
Will be my first but partners 2nd, very nervous but excited at the same time. No idea what to expect but hoping to have some ladies in the same situation to chat to!

Started my journey two days ago for dc2... Worried that at 34 it might not be as easy as the first time when my DD came as a surprise!!

Hi all, thank you for the get well soon messages. Having flu and my first period in 12 years is absolute hell, been crying a lot Hmm and hoping I get pregnant this month so I don’t have to have another one! I forgot how horrible my periods are, why was I wishing for this Grin
Anyway day 3 today another couple of days and it should all be over, Ovia says 9 days until my fertile period so whoop whoop!
Anyone else going to be on a similar timeline?

@Ginger87 I’m still secretly hopeful as af hasn’t shown yet :/ just a bit of spotting now and again, hoping it stops soon though!

Newbie0818 · 02/02/2020 15:49

And now that secret hope is gone, af literally just started :(

JaffaCakeGal · 02/02/2020 16:08

Well my cycle clearly hasn't sorted itself out, I've started spotting today, a week earlier than expected! Will see if this become full blown AF!

alliejay81 · 02/02/2020 17:19

@Newbie0818 I'm still waiting but 99% certain AF will arrive in next 24 hours. We can be cycle buddies in February???

Newbie0818 · 02/02/2020 17:30

My fingers are super crossed for you anyway @alliejay81, and if not, yes please!

alliejay81 · 02/02/2020 17:53

Aww thanks. But buddies for sure next month!

Ginger87 · 02/02/2020 18:42

@Newbie0818 that's a shame, baby dust for next month!

@alliejay81 I'm still holding out some hope for you.

Newbie0818 · 02/02/2020 18:56

Thanks @Ginger87 and @alliejay81 ☺️ I’m going to give the obsessive “tracking” of everything a break and just DTD for fun this cycle, which I’m sure hubby will appreciate 😂 (still frequently though, which will also be a treat :P)

Fx for everyone 🤞🏼

NeverGotMyPuppy · 02/02/2020 21:00

Well i'm a little shocked to say that I took a test this afternoon and it was positive.

I'm a bit shocked!

alliejay81 · 02/02/2020 21:15

@NeverGotMyPuppy yay! congrats!

JaffaCakeGal · 02/02/2020 21:29

Congrats @NeverGotMyPuppy !!!

eitak22 · 02/02/2020 23:52

@NeverGotMyPuppy Congratulations! How exciting to have a BFP already!

@yoomoo my fertile week is next week so similar time frame.

@Newbie0818 sorry it wasnt what you hoped. Will keep everything crossed for this month.

Newbie0818 · 03/02/2020 06:46

Thanks @eitak22

Congrats @NeverGotMyPuppy 🎉

NeverGotMyPuppy · 03/02/2020 09:14

@Newbie0818 sorry this month hasn't worked for you - I hope it does really soon x

FootballAndBeer145 · 03/02/2020 10:00

@NeverGotMyPuppy congrats!

I'm leaving the apps alone this cycle & trying to not be too obsessive!

Effram · 03/02/2020 10:17

Morning all, hope all well! Congrats @NeverGotMyPuppy, commiserations @Newbie0818

It's fertile week for me here with ovulation predicted for wed/thurs. Hilariously I just had a stress because I meant to bring an OPK to work with me to test and therefore had ruined everything. Then I got a grip and remembered I will ovulate even if I don't test and see it. Definitely time to relax!

rhirhibumblebee · 03/02/2020 19:24

Hi everyone. !! That's my TWW officially started now!! I feel really excited for some reason this month but I keep telling myself not to be else I might be super disappointed! How is everyone?? Anyone about to or in the TWW?

@Newbie0818 Sorry about AF. Onwards and upwards for next cycle 😘

@NeverGotMyPuppy Yay congrats! That's brilliant news!

@Effram Good luck and fingers crossed!

JaffaCakeGal · 04/02/2020 13:37

@rhirhibumblebee I'm in the TWW (I think! Bloody pill!) had the tiniest amount of spotting on Sunday then nothing since, AF/testing due next Saturday! My boobs are so heavy but then they were before last AF too so who knows Smile

TheLastStark · 04/02/2020 14:37

Hey guys, been a while!

I'm trying reeaallllyyy hard not to get ahead of myself but period was due today and nothing, and I threw up at work, as weird as it is to be celebrating!

Didn't eat anything odd, but could all be me coming down with something.
I have some tests laying around at home, will test then and see!

Fingers crossed

Newbie0818 · 04/02/2020 17:12

Thanks for all the kind words :)

Hoping for the best for everyone waiting!

Fx @TheLastStark!

LynseyLou1982 · 04/02/2020 17:24

This Thursday will be 3 weeks since I stopped the pill and nothing yet no sign of any withdrawal bleed. I'm due to donate blood next Saturday a d they ways ask if I'm pregnant or think I could be pregnant. If nothings happened by then should I POAS just to rule it out?

lucymagoo · 04/02/2020 18:10

@LynseyLou1982 mine took 5 weeks I think so wouldn't worry too much

Newbie0818 · 04/02/2020 18:35

Mine took 2 months @LynseyLou1982 and still irregular, stopped the pill in August ‘19! Always worth it to poas, it’s torture not having any other signs x
