I am 27 years old, TTC baby #1.
We have been trying for 20 months with a MC in January at 6 weeks.

I have had 3 days with positive opk lots of EWCM and a temp rise this morning so I think I am officially 1DPO.

I would love to have some people to share the next two weeks with! To talk to and potentially symptom spot with (although not always the best thing to do!)

I am 4dpo :) 28 also ttc #1 and had a MMC at 11.5 weeks in November so similar boat to you! (Have been trying since june 2019)

Hopefully we can keep eachother sane! I wont be testing untill march 3rd - what about you?

Peggy91 · 21/02/2020 16:31

Hi @essjaycee

Yay!!! Fingers crossed for you. I think I am 2DPO today, had a slightly rise in temperature today although my app didn't pick it up so it's still thinking about it!

How are you feeling? This is my first month TTC baby number one and feel very new to all this!
We DTD on cycle day 8, 12, 14, 16 and 18 and ovulated on day 19, annoyed that we didn't do it on ovulation day or day after but hoping we've done enough!

28, husband to be 29 (wedding in May) xx

EssJayyCee · 21/02/2020 16:34

@Anny27 I'm sorry to hear about your MC fingers crossed we get our BFP again soon!

If I have definitely ovulated I will be due to test on 6th of march.

I track bbt so I will find out if I've ovulated for definite in the next couple of days. 🤞🏻

It has all been very positive so far as I've never had a positive opk or this much EWCM so I'm hoping the MC actually had made me a bit more fertile than I was. (I have irregular cycles so it's been a very difficult 20 months ttc)

Have you had any symptoms yet?

Lmac2018 · 21/02/2020 16:36

I'm on 6dpo no symptoms as of yet, ovukated last Saturday with 2 days of PEAK opks on Thursday and Friday. I'm 18 and my boyfriend is 21, might seen like an early age to try but I've always wanted to have children, only the 1... I think. We DTD on Friday night, Sunday morning and evening and Monday morning so hopefully we've done it.

EssJayyCee · 21/02/2020 16:41

@Peggy91 I am feeling okay thank you. I'm a little nervous as I am still in the cycle of my miscarriage although I had a random 2 days of slight spotting around 2 weeks ago so that could have been a super light period..so I'm either CD 37 (or from spotting CD14)
DTD on days 25,27,29,32,35 and 36 (or 2,4,6,9,12,13). I think I O'd CD 36/13.

Irregular cycles makes all this so much more complicated.

Aww not long until your are married then! Congratulations xxx

@Lmac2018 No judgement here sweet x
Everyone is ready when they are ready.

Good luck! 🤞🏻
If you don't get your BFP this time you may want to try and DTD a few days before you ovulate if you know when you ovulate. The night before and afterwards may not give you the best chances as it can take as little as 30mins to as much as a couple of days for the sperm to reach the egg xx

OP posts:
Anny27 · 21/02/2020 16:55

@EssJayyCee We had peak OPK on sunday and managed to DTD friday, sunday and monday (I ovulated on the monday according to my temps).

Yes I would love to be pregnant again soon! I miss it

@Peggy91 how exciting for your wedding! And even more exciting if theres a little baby under your dress!

@Lmac2018 good luck lovely! One of my best friends had her babies at 18/19 and she is a wonderful mummy :)

Skyharbor · 21/02/2020 17:02

I hope you don't mind me jumping in! I'm 28, DH is 27, cycle 1 TTC #1. I think I'm 4dpo going by temps and EWCM but I have PCOS on Metformin so my cycles are a bit irregular (now down to between about 31-36 days, currently on CD 22).

Good luck everyone! 🤞🏻

Lmac2018 · 21/02/2020 17:13

Don't worry I know there isn't much of a chance as my partner decided to want to try a few months early when I told him I got a positive ovulation as we were going to try in April. I was also wondering if fertility is like a genetic thing as my mum has had 9 successful pregnancy and 2 miscarriages and so I was thinking maybe because of that I might be very fertile? I don't really understand how stuff like that works x
Good luck everyone on their BFPs, I'm testing on Monday Tuesday and then just going to wait after that till after my period x

Peggy91 · 21/02/2020 20:14

Thank you @essjaycee and @anny27, we would love to be able to announce it at the wedding but we shall see.

I'm going to try and wait and test until af is due on the 4th March although that will then make my cycle 32 days which isn't normal for me so not sure if my app is correct! Average cycle is 29 days.

Anyone else tired the Ferti.lily soft cup? I also used that after every time and heard some good reviews about it x

EssJayyCee · 21/02/2020 20:25

Have any of you used opks?

I have had 3 days worth of dark positive ones that don't seem to want to fade! I'm worried my body is going to have a failed attempt at ovulating.

I'm not even convince I've definitely ovulated yet.

OP posts:
Peggy91 · 21/02/2020 20:52

@essjaycee I've been using the clear blue connect as so much easy to read than the normal strips. I bought mine from groupon for £32 and they are around. £50 in boots.

I know that's a bit late for this month. What CD are you on now? And are you getting a positive today? X

Lmac2018 · 21/02/2020 20:53

@EssJayyCee I used opks this month and got 2 days of really really strong positives and then a negative early hours of the morning, I found them food to figure out when I'm next ovulating and idk if they are any good as this is my first cycle using them but many people use it as it's the best thing to help them know when they are ovulating

Peggy91 · 21/02/2020 21:21

@essjaycee I just find the Clear Blue much easier as you only test with your first wee of the day. I had 6 high fertility days and then 2 peak days. I think I would stress my self out using the other ones and testing all the time.

Maybe you are about to ovulate?

EssJayyCee · 22/02/2020 19:44

I am hoping so hard that I ovulated today so potentially only starting the two week wait tomorrow!
Hoping so hard for a temp rise in the morning and the next few days to validate my assumptions of ovulating! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

EssJayyCee · 23/02/2020 22:19

Hi everyone. I hope you're all doing okay?
It turns out I am 3dpo today as my BBT chart says.

It's hard not to symptom spot but I've been having some symptoms...

2dpo Fatigue. I had a nap 4-6pm and then had a 12 hour sleep and super moody and snappy. I had a really vivid dream as well that I was pregnant about to go into labour. Sore nipples.

3dpo (today) I have had a bit of light cramping and a little bit of back ache, tender boobs and sore nipples. Tight feeling in my uterus/lower abdomen.

Has anyone else been having any symptoms?

OP posts:
Anny27 · 23/02/2020 22:29

Hey lovely @EssJayyCee I am 6dpo and no symptoms apart from being a bit run down (but then I could just be getting I'll haha)

You never know do you 🤣

Lmac2018 · 24/02/2020 00:08

8dpo banging headache that's it really

Lmac2018 · 24/02/2020 01:57

Hi girls I've had really bad period like pains, and a awful full belly like constantly needing a wee but not actually needing one

EssJayyCee · 24/02/2020 19:06

I am driving myself crazy with symptom spotting. I don't want to do it. But I keep finding myself thinking "oh what was that?" But I know it's too early to be feeling anything pregnancy related.

I feel deep down I won't be pregnant this cycle.

marshallrubblechaserockyzoomer · 24/02/2020 19:25

Hey this is my first cycle TTC baby number 2. I'm 4dpo today!

EssJayyCee · 24/02/2020 19:34

Hi @marshallrubblechaserockyzoomer I am 4dpo today too what date is AF due for you?

P.s Is your first a paw patrol fan by any chance? 😂

OP posts:
Candyqueen01 · 24/02/2020 20:49

Hi @EssJayyCee
I'm currently 4dpo aswell it's my first time using opks this month have been having cramps since ovulation and like a stitch type feeling. My AF due on 4th March

EssJayyCee · 24/02/2020 21:10

@Candyqueen01 Hi!
I used opks this month too, I have tried them before but because my cycles are so long it was costing me a fortune even with the cheapies!
I had a miscarriage last month so I decided to try them again to see if I ovulated as they say you are more fertile after a miscarriage.

I had cramps from ovulation the cycle I fell pregnant so that could be a good sign for you?

I haven't really got any proper symptoms. I keep getting weird twinges in my uterus area and shortness of breath but other than that it's a bit limited now.

I don't think I am going to get a BFP this month.

OP posts:
Candyqueen01 · 24/02/2020 21:28

Im sorry to hear that have you had a period since your miscarriage.
I've only been off the pill since November and husband has been I'll on and off so haven't dtd much around ovulation before this month
When are you going to test?
