After finishing the pill and weeks of not knowing what was going on AF has arrived. I never thought I would feel a sense of relief. So Jan we are going step up TTC. Judging my clue app ovulation is around 17th jan! Looking for a few pals who are in a similar situation to join me and share the journey with me. Grin

Me! This will be our first month trying to conceive. I am due my period this week and due to ovulate around the 16th depending when I come on. Will this be your first?

Wintergal · 30/12/2019 11:52

Aw so our dates are very similar. Yeah this is our first. It's all very scary and very exciting.

Is this your first?

Yes this will be our first too. It is so exciting! I just know I'm going to be a nightmare during the TWW and symptom spot like crazy. I'm a bit of a control freak so I can't just relax about it all 😂

Hello Smile me too! Came off the pill in October but wasn't really trying too hard, been taking folic acid and vit D. I've got the app Ovia which is really good it predicts my fertile week is 1st-6th Jan so will be really trying then! This will be my first Smile

Wintergal · 30/12/2019 12:01

@kittycat10 aw I am total control freak so no idea how I will relax lol.
@introv3rt that's when I Dame off the pill to but we haven't really properly been trying until now.

I came off in February to allow my periods to get back to normal, even now I'm not 100% sure when I'm due on! Hoping it's soon so I can get things started 😂 I've also been taking folic acid

Wintergal · 30/12/2019 12:50

Am going to pick up some folic acid today or tomorrow and start taking it. Any other recommendations? Xx

kittycat10 · 30/12/2019 12:54

I just use that but I have also bought pre-seed although I haven't started using it yet

sojo44 · 30/12/2019 12:59

Me too 🙋‍♀️ May I join?

My last two cycles have been around 45 days long with OV around CD30, so predicted fertile week is around 14 January.

But just got a blazing OPK on CD16 (never been this dark before) so if it's correct, AF/testing around 16 January

Will be playing it by ear depending on what my body decides to do 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Wintergal · 30/12/2019 17:31

@sojo44 welcome! I like the sound of playing it by ear. Looks like my cycle is also around 45 days

Hi ladies! TTC our first too! Didn't take this month so OPK should've giving me a smiley face this weekend so we will be trying again this month!
Was devastated when I got my AF (Christmas Day of all days!! 😩) as I had loads of symptoms and I was pregnant! It was so bizarre!
Baby dust to all!!! Here's to us all getting BFP's in Jan 2020! 🤞🤞

Ginge35 · 30/12/2019 18:17

I wasn't pregnant that was supposed to say!!! 😝😝😝

user1471549213 · 30/12/2019 18:31

Good luck with your ttc journey ladies. Just to say definitely start taking the folic acid asap when ttc. They recommend taking it for approx 12 weeks prior to conception so the sooner the better.

Also I came off the pill and was pregnant within 6 weeks on my first 2 pregnancies and 12 on my 3rd so good luck.

Wintergal · 30/12/2019 18:49

@user1471549213 I have just started with the folic acid.
Baby dust to us. Fingers crossed Jan is our month.

sojo44 · 31/12/2019 10:16

@Wintergal 45 day cycles suck don't they!! We can just hope we get a shorter one occasionally 😶 it's almost a farce now. But at least we get to test some point in January 😂😅

Baby dust to everyone! How is NYE looking?

Wintergal · 31/12/2019 10:24

@sojo44 yeah what's that even about. I agree here is hoping they reduce at some point. Yeah am all for the jan testing! Looking forward to bringing in the new year and hopefully some exciting news in the months to come

OP posts:
Ginge35 · 31/12/2019 13:58

Ladies what's with the recommendation on taking Vit D as well folic acid? I know about folic acid but have people had trouble conceiving by not taking enough supplements?
Thoughts, comments, opinion most welcomed!

Wintergal · 31/12/2019 15:28

I have started taking folic acid just.

OP posts:
Ginge35 · 31/12/2019 16:19

Thanks @introv3rt I've read this link before. Basically you can't eat anything! 😂😂😂 it's ridiculous isn't it! What about all the women that don't they are pregnant and eat whatever they want, smoke and drink and their babies are fine! Not that I condone smoking and drinking whilst pregnant of course!
I'm just curious if anyone on here TTC already has children and whether they found any difference with or without supplements?
I've been taking folic acid since September so I'm all good in that front! 👍🏻

Wintergal · 31/12/2019 20:04

Happy new year everyone baby dust to all 2020 will be our year! Xxx

OP posts:
sojo44 · 02/01/2020 10:04

How is everyone doing?

CD19 here, a little confused with OPK vs Ovusense results (OV window seems to be a few days apart on them) unless I'm on my usual cycle and OV doesn't happen for another 1.5weeks 😅. Have kept doing the deed just in case.

introv3rt · 02/01/2020 10:51

Hello Smile Im on cycle day 13 and in my fertile week, struggling a bit though as my partner doesnt enjoy dtd on a schedule but its the only way Blush neither of us really have high sex drives, we dtd last night and hoping to dtd again tomorrow and Sunday whilst still in my fertile week
Hope everyone had a nice new year, back to work today I am so sleepy

LauraJayne15 · 02/01/2020 11:18

Happy New Year everyone! We are TTC our first and this is our second cycle actively trying. I’m on CD6 and average 27 day cycles.

I’m planning to test around the 20th with FRER. I was completely convinced I was pregnant last month with sore breasts and other early symptoms. Not looking forward to the TWW again
