Hey girls... thought I'd make a new post I'm struggling to find new ones 😂 I'm 28 nearly 29 and my other half is also the same age! I'm currently on my period and this is the month we have decided to start trying! I'm so excited but also do not want to get my Hope's up as I know it can be a very long journey to get that BFP! Anyone else trying this month? I'm looking to get ovulation sticks to increase my chances xxx

@abby25 think I'm definitely out this month..cramping, obsessed with chocolate and a little bit moody lol I bet she will be here tomorrow morning...

I’m still waiting for my period so I can start my first month TTC. I started taking pregnacare pre-conception last week and read that might lengthen my cycle - has anyone experienced that? Just want to get going now lol.

pineapple2 · 28/02/2020 11:23

As predicted af came this morning...urghhhh
Next cycle no opks, no tracking. Dtd every other day and continue to take my vitamins and that's it...
I'm just going to go with the flow, easier said than done..

ParisInTheSpringtime · 28/02/2020 12:42

So turns out there might be a reason for my period being MIA. Maybe I won’t start trying next month. Confused

I didn’t think it was the right time, turned out it was.

Hi everyone, this is my first month of trying properly and tracking ovulation too. My last period was on the 17th Feb so hopefully be some signs of ovulation very soon. Interested to know what CD people have been showing signs of ovulation?

KrissyMB · 29/02/2020 12:45

Hi @1987Nic. First first proper month TTC too. Had coil out on 12th Feb so unsure of cycle yet! Just trying to enjoy myself this month with the occasional OPK test and see what's what. X

1987Nic · 29/02/2020 13:24

Hi, hopefully you’ll be able to find our cycle lengths too. My clue has been 28 days and then 32 days, after 10 years of no periods I’ve been quite happy with that so far. It’s better to have a relaxed approach.. for as long as we can ha. Are you trying for your first child?

1987Nic · 29/02/2020 13:26

Sorry that should have said find cycle lengths soon too. *Cycle and not clue Blush

KrissyMB · 29/02/2020 22:20

@1987Nic yes first child. I'm 32 and husband 33. Hopefully I'll figure out a cycle, but trying to take a relaxed approach initially and just enjoy the practice:)

1987Nic · 29/02/2020 22:30

My boyfriend and I are also 32 and trying for our first child Smile

KrissyMB · 01/03/2020 20:16

@1987Nic So exciting! Were you on birth control previously?

ParisInTheSpringtime · 01/03/2020 20:56

Thanks @krissymb bit of a shock lol

KrissyMB · 01/03/2020 21:09

@ParisInTheSpringtime when did you start trying? Were you on borth control?

1987Nic · 01/03/2020 21:13

It’s super exciting, yeh I was on cerazette for around 10 years. I’ve definitely been getting signs of ovulation but still no smiley face.

KrissyMB · 01/03/2020 21:15

Yeah I have tried the occasional ovulation stick after the first week of being off the coil and no smiley face for me either!

ParisInTheSpringtime · 01/03/2020 21:28

@krissymb

Had stopped using birth control, but planning to start trying in March. Thought we were past the conception window for Feb. So it was the absolute first go.

KrissyMB · 02/03/2020 10:21

@ParisInTheSpringtime that's amazing. When did you come off BC?

ParisInTheSpringtime · 02/03/2020 10:26

@krissymb came off the pill a year ago, so have just been using barrier contraception since then (I was concerned it would take me a while to get back to normal, due to the long period I had been on the pill).
