Hi we are hoping TTC this month. Right at the beginning of my cycle. Taking my first folic acid tablet today. Do you hues have any tips. Let start our journeys together :) we have been trying on and off with no joy. This month we want to give it a real shot! Any help and experiences will be amazing. Is there anyone in the same boat? It's so heart breaking to see the lonely line so let support each other to the double line of happiness:) x

We are planning to try at the end of the month so a month behind you all. Can I still join?

Hi popcorndiva

Sounds like you are like me -not started just yet. Planning to start next cycle. Period due around 12th March and I have a roughly 28 day cycle so have worked out roughly when the fertile days are.

Started taking folic acid today and have been eating fairly healthily (just in case it helps haha).

Looking forward to getting started but trying not to stress about it too much.

I am stopping the mini pill in 2 weeks. We were lucky first month for DC1 but don't expect this time to be as quick. Taking folic acid and iron in preparation though

Had my first smiley face on my digital OPK today!
My partner has never been happier since I suggested DTD 😂
Got my fingers totally crossed that this is the time!

amc2018 · 05/03/2020 22:30

Has anyone's partners tried the well man conception tablets? X

Had some faint lines on my Ovulation test but nothing solid yet even though my predicted day was yesterday. I wonder if I missed it this month and it was earlier.
Thankfully we have been DTD every other day for the past weeks so we might have caught it anyway.

Hi all, can I join? 👋🏼 Just had a BFN from last cycle unfortunately so will be TTC (baby number 2) again at the end of this month. Cycle day 1 today so think we need to try around 24th-29th this month. Just spent a small fortune on ovulation kits again 😂 Has any one used the clearblue advanced ovulation stocks before? I just used the cheaper thin sticks last time.

Hi guy's need some advice
My cycle is 30 days i done the deed on day 10 most fertile day 15 to 17 any one else ever get pregnant do i stand a chance been trying for so long i feel like giving up xxx

Hi, I’d love to jump on the TTC wagon too!

29, implant removed early March after 8 years (AF arrived the day before as she liked to sporadically) and this will be baby 1. I have no clue about ovulation and all that jazz, and I’m rapidly trying to learn all the acronyms 😂 but for now partner and I just trying to keep chilled about it all. I was taking pregnacare but it was making me feel incredibly nauseous and I had 2 BFN using the ER test so pretty sure it was the tablets making me sicky.

So exciting/ comforting to read other people’s experiences and hopefully go on a journey with you all 😊

Hi can I join?

We are ttc #1 and have just finished cycle no.2. In the TWW nie and have no symptoms at all. Didn't get a positive opk either this cycle. Still hoping to get a BFP though!!

Killerwhale123 · 09/04/2020 01:52

Anyone awake please?

Factualmistakes · 09/04/2020 15:43

@Bigcheesey @Fertility1 @EightMilesHigh welcome - It would be nice for this thread to be more active.

I hope everyone is doing ok in this crisis.

Juno231 · 09/04/2020 16:25

Hello I'd like to join! I'm on cycle 3 in my TWW (4DPO) and am itching to at least get to the 9DPO mark to entertain myself with symptom spotting as this TTC malarkey is so much more boring and slow whilst wfh!

Used OPKs this cycle and got a nice strong peak which helped me feel at ease as I never spotted a surge last month so had no clue when I ovulated!

Killerwhale123 · 09/04/2020 16:59

Hello..
My last period was 6th March.. I was due on 4th April and I haven't come on my period. I have dark circles around my nipple area. I am feeling sick in the mornings and nights. I am very bloated and tried all day. I tested Tuesday and I had a negative result.. I haven’t tested since. Can anyone help please?

Babybump0 · 09/04/2020 17:27

Hey guys were all in the same boat i think i hope we all get bfp

Babybump0 · 09/04/2020 17:28

Does it let anyone attach pics wont let me?

Killerwhale123 · 09/04/2020 17:55

Does it sound like I’m pregnant.. I really need someone else’s opinion. Im not sure when to test next either I’m 5 days late today

Fertility1 · 09/04/2020 19:27

@Killerwhale123 I would take a test as your 5 days late.

Fertility1 · 09/04/2020 19:27

@Babybump0 there's a paperclip you need to click on to attach a pic

Babybump0 · 09/04/2020 19:35

It wont let me post it strange

EightMilesHigh · 09/04/2020 20:40

@Killerwhale123 I would test again as you’re five days late... and then again 48hrs later if it’s showing as negative.

I had this last month- ended up 7 days late but negative tests all the way along... And then sadly for me AF showed up 😔 But it’s definitely worth checking as being late can obviously mean you might be pregnant! Fingers crossed for you!!

EightMilesHigh · 09/04/2020 20:43

And thanks for welcoming us new-joiners @Factualmistakes! I’m now in my TWW for cycle 2... should be able to test When AF is due around the 19th. Really hoping for that BFP! 🙏🏼 Where’s everyone else at?

Killerwhale123 · 09/04/2020 21:06

Thankyou so much! I will test tomorrow fingers crossed!!😊

Minster2012 · 09/04/2020 21:42

Hi ladies can I join please?

TTC for our 2nd (DS 20 months) but due to a complicated history of skin cancer & 10 years of chemo/immunotherapy I didn’t carry him, my best friend carried him as a host surrogate for us (anyone watching The Nest on tv, like that but obs not a stranger! Genetically all ours!) anyway, I had IVF in nov, was pregnant then had miscarriage so now might as well TTC again whilst clinics on lockdown too

Only ever had one period since I was 17 that was in nov before IVF (36 in July) due to chemo & contraception so totally new to all this. Am hoping the miscarriage kick starts my system but 🤷‍♀️. Have ordered OPKs, but don’t even know if I ovulate during AF.
Same as a lot of you I’m learning about acronyms, ovulation, OPKs, ECWM all of it so strange!! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤞🏻🤞🏻

Minster2012 · 09/04/2020 21:43

Ps 🤞🏻🤞🏻Good luck @Killerwhale123 xx
