About to go into my fertile week and will be testing 29th jan 🙂 this is my 4th cycle trying for my 1st.

Anyone want some company while we enter into another TWW? 🙂

Hopefully testing on the 27th here (and not before if I can exhibit some self control!)
I feel like Verruca in Charlie and the chocolate factory...don't care how, I want it now! 😂
Might be losing the plot! 😄

charlottees89 · 10/01/2020 18:58

@AsSurprisedAsYouAre I'm due to ovulation too on 16th but AF due on 30th. Fingers crossed for a little October baba Smile xxx

charlottees89 · 10/01/2020 18:59

Ovulate** 🤦🏻‍♀️

Catred4 · 10/01/2020 19:17

Hi! I’m TTC for the first time, fertile period is this week, will be testing 26th onwards eeeeek! How exciting x

ZoeCa · 10/01/2020 19:38

All the best! So exciting!
Wishing everyone baby dust this month 💗

AsSurprisedAsYouAre · 11/01/2020 00:24

@charlottees89 Hi! It makes me feel less lonely to know there's someone else on the exact same carriage of this ttc rollercoaster! Would love to keep in touch this month. For now my OH and I are pretty chill and optimistic waiting for the green light of the OPK but from past experience my crazy kicks in from 1DPO so enjoying the calm (and this glass of wine) before the tww storm!

Hi all, happy weekend! Just wondering if there are any tips for us all that are helping you get through the TWW? I personally do not think I'm pregnant as I don't feel strange like I did last time, but it would be good to find out how others are filling their time during this annoying part of the cycle! :)

A tip from me is to really fill your diary with tasks and I time-block them, e.g. 7.30am take dog out for a walk, 9am breakfast, 9.30am read chapter of book etc x

charlottees89 · 11/01/2020 10:56

@AsSurprisedAsYouAre yeah we are the same, trying not to think about it too much, but that's easier said than done 😂 good luck, definitely keep me updated on how you're getting on. I decided to do dry January which I think may have been an error on my part!!

charlottees89 · 11/01/2020 11:00

@Catred4 sounds like you're on a similar cycle to @AsSurprisedAsYouAre and me. It's so exciting but scary at the same time!! I had a wild year last year for my 30th now time to be sensible, funny how your mind set completely changes. Keep in touch xx

ablisha · 11/01/2020 11:28

@charlottees89 I'm the same as you, turned 30 last year and now am trying to have my adult hat on!

lab19 · 11/01/2020 11:50

Hi everyone,
Currently CD 6 around cycle 7 ttc #1. Had my implant removed this time last year, also seem to have quite short cycles around 23-25 days. Due on 1st Feb, Really thought last month was our month but AF ruined that earlier in the week! Anyway onto the next one! Hoping dry jan and an all round healthier month may help. Fingers crossed for us all x

FirsttimeTTC · 11/01/2020 14:53

Ooh perfect thread! AF due on 30th Jan so will be testing around then. (More than likely a few days before as I’m a serial POAS-er!)

Baby dust to all!

Jonesbabynumber1 · 11/01/2020 15:33

Hi all, same boat as everyone cycle 5, cd 12 think I ovulate between cd16-20 will most probably test end of month. Trying a relaxed approach this month hoping it works. Feels like it will never happen. Fingers crossed for some BFP

Ziggystarduck · 11/01/2020 15:46

Hi everyone! I'd love to join you all, AF due 25th but haven't confirmed ov yet so may be a day or two later.
I've just had an hsg test and have read a lot about it increasing the likelihood of getting pregnant in the month or two that follow. So high hopes for this cycles are an understatement! Bring on the next two weeks of utter insanity, uncontrollable peeing on sticks and Dr Google 🤣

charlottees89 · 11/01/2020 16:59

@ablisha 😂😂 yep adult hat is well and truly on! Just read your previous post, me and my DH also weren't meant to start trying until Feb but then felt that there was no time with the presence! Good luck xx

FireflyGirl · 11/01/2020 21:53

My fertile window is apparently due to start tomorrow, so this is it. I've put on my new incense diffuser that DH got me for Christmas in our bedroom to help with the mood - I chose frankincense oil, it smells absolutely awful Envy Wish me luck!!

JoesM12 · 11/01/2020 22:30

Hey all 😊 id love to join. We’re in cycle 3 ttc baby #2! Should be testing around these dates. According to my apps I’m due to ov this weekend!! My clear blue digital has been high for two days so hoping to get my peak tomorrow 😊
We have been doing SMEP this month and using preseed!x

JoesM12 · 11/01/2020 22:33

@FireflyGirl good luck girl!😊
My husband has just bought a new xbox so I don’t think I have a hope of getting any tonight 😂😂 definitely going to try though!

FireflyGirl · 12/01/2020 00:26

Waft some of my frankincense oil at him, Joes. If nothing else, he'll leave the Xbox to find out what's crawled in and died and you can jump his bones on the way Grin

We're vaguely doing SMEP, except I don't have OPKs. I have short cycles, though, which makes it easier, and have been successful 4 times before without using OPKs (only one DC).

JoesM12 · 12/01/2020 21:58

@FireflyGirl how did you get on with the frankincense oil?! Mood killer?
Ah that’s great you’re able to track without opks 😊 I think if we aren’t lucky this month I’m going to stop with the opks etc next month and just wing it! I’m finishing it can become a bit obsessive and I so don’t want to get to hung up on it and stressed!!
Fingers crossed this is our month though ❤️

BS9790 · 12/01/2020 22:49

Can I join? Think I see one or 2 people from another thread I'm on too.
AF due around 30th I think, but this is first cycle after MC in December.. So who knows Hmm bit of a guessing game!

Sparkle2020 · 13/01/2020 00:15

Everyone on here finishing off their fertile week too? I (think) mine ends Tuesday but not sure if my OPKs were solid positives or not. DH isn’t pulling his weight well in the BD side of things at the moment so not sure if we have much luck this cycle :(

Lexie365 · 13/01/2020 01:22

hi. i will be testing 29th/30thSmile cycle 2 ttc dc2Grin. well technically cycle 2 even though last month we didn't try until cycle day 16 so might have missed ovulation. this month started trying on cycle day 13 so really hope we havn't missed it again. not using ovulation tests. wish me luckSmile baby dust to everyone x

FireflyGirl · 13/01/2020 11:30

How long is your cycle, Lexie? If you're not sure when you ovulate, it's always better to start earlier.

My fertile window doesn't end until later in the week, but I have short cycles.

AF is due 31st. I may crack and test slightly early, but with DS I didn't get a positive test until I was about 4 days late. Then it suddenly came up positive at about 7pm (after I'd shared a bottle of wine with DH over lunch!)

Have you been able to pinpoint ovulation, Sparkle? That way you don't need to have quite as much sex 😉

DH and I are just enjoying not having to worry about contraception. I doubt we will be as enthusiastic next month!

ZoeCa · 13/01/2020 12:04

After using OPKs for a long time now. I had my first positive OPK this month on clomid! Hurray! I'm wondering if others have had this and then stopped testing once they know when their ovulation period is? I feel I'm getting too obsessed with the sticks!
