Hello! Only on CD7 and not due to ovulate for another 10ish days, just looking for some company and chat for the month. Is anyone else on a similar cycle and due to test the end of March? X

Hi I'll wait with you if it's ok but I am a little further in my cycle than you, I'm cd14 had high today with opks so hopefully going to get my peak tomorrow and should be 1dpo on Sunday and plan on testing from the 18th.

What TTC cycle are you on and what number baby are you TTC x

1987Nic · 05/03/2020 20:53

I’m a little bit further on, I’m on CD 18 and my AF is due on 20th March.

emma4282 · 05/03/2020 20:56

Hi, can I join? I'm CD6 & this is our 3rd month TTC, will be testing end of March with fingers crossed 😊 how many months have you been TTC?

Maidmummy · 05/03/2020 20:58

@1987Nic what TTC cycle are you on, when are you due to ovulate x

1987Nic · 05/03/2020 21:06

This is my first proper cycle, I ovulated yesterday on CD 17. What cycle are you on? Are you trying for your first child?

emma4282 · 05/03/2020 21:10

We're trying for our 1st baby, first cycle I ovulated around CD15/16 and last cycle I ovulated on CD14 - are you tracking your ovulation with ovulation kits?

1987Nic · 05/03/2020 21:30

Yeh I’ve been using the clear blue ovulation tests. It’ll be my first time using a pregnancy test Smile. I’ve got carried away using due date calculator and if I fall pregnant this month my due date would be my birthday.

emma4282 · 05/03/2020 21:40

The clearblue digital ovulation tests are so good - I use them but also use the cheapy ovulation tests too just to make sure they're both matching up with each other! Try not to over test - I was testing constantly on our first month and it can take over your thinking! Fingers crossed it happens for you nice and early! ❤️

1987Nic · 05/03/2020 21:53

I’ll have to try some of the other ovulation tests if needed when mine run out next month. I’ll definitely not be testing until after the 20th unless I get any strong symptoms. I’m going on holiday with my boyfriends family in the first week of April so would be nice to know either way before then. Hopefully it happens soon for all of us.

Maidmummy · 06/03/2020 07:46

This is cycle 2 for us and we are doing SMEP along with preseed, I'm using wondfo opks and I scan them into my premom app and it tells me if they are low, high or peak. I usually ovulate on cd18 but looks like my body wants to give it an earlier go this month. If I do catch this month then it will be my 4th baby but OH first with me. he's desperate for a boy as he has 2 girls with his ex and wants a boy so he can do the atypical father/son things lol x

A08x · 08/03/2020 15:50

Hello all! After starting a thread I’ve been a bit AWOL from here for a few days..trying to keep myself distracted from thinking about TTC lol.

I am on month 7 for baby 1. I know some people have been trying for much longer but I never even thought it would be this length of time for us!

@Maidmummy we used preseed last month for the first time and going to continue this month too 🤞🏼 I use the cheap eBay ovulation tests but they also work with the premom app which is handy.

I ovulate late in my cycle so still not due to for over a week! How is everyone? ❤️

Hi, aw don't loose hope it will happen eventually! Although I know it's easier said than done, we're on month 3 and I'm already impatient! I hate the waiting around I just want to know 😬 I'm due to ovulate next weekend and will test at the end of March!

FuzzyGoose · 08/03/2020 20:00

Hi guys! Can I join please? Looking to test end of next week/ early the week after next! Think I’m about 7dpo but haven’t been keeping track as we aren’t necessarily trying (but we’d be over the moon if it did happen). Don’t want to test too early so trying to leave it until just after AF is due (I’ll obvs know for sure it’s negative of AF shows up haha). Wouldn’t necessarily be too down if it went our month as like I say we haven’t been trying properly. It’s nice to have a chit chat while you’re waiting though 😂 x

1987Nic · 08/03/2020 20:12

Hi girls, I’m 4 dpo now. This is my first month in the 2ww and it’s taking forever. Shock Hope you are all well. X

ThomasinVye · 08/03/2020 22:02

Hi can I join please.
A little further ahead than most. I am cycle day 20 today of a normally 30 day cycle.
I use OPKs and Clear Blue advanced ovulation tests.
I was incredibly disheartened the last week because testing the last few months I have ovulated around Cycle day 15. I have been testing since cycle day 8 with no positive and and no high fertility from the clear blue. This morning I got a really clear positive OPK and a static smiley face! Wondering now if my cycle will be longer.

We have been TTC for 4 months. I have a 2 year old son who was a lovely surprise. I only have one fallopian tube and am worried about how this will affect my chances of conceiving. This month I had convinced myself my little boy was a fluke and have been quite sad. I have an appointment with a fertility doctor on Thursday for some tests.

I hope joining a group will just help me to not get to anxious during the TWW.

Butterflyflower1234 · 08/03/2020 22:07

Hi all

This is our first month TTC. I believe I ovulate on Saturday so keeping positive.

I'll be due to test on the day of our wedding reception party (we recently married abroad). It's so exciting although I'm nervous.

I'm due to travel to southern Italy a few days after I test but I'm not sure I should go if I do test positive.

calimommy · 09/03/2020 01:43

👋 hi, 1DPO here, CD13. In the TWW now. AF due on the 22march. I'll be looking out for IB because that's the only symptom I ever get, until the other symptoms kick in around 8/9weeks and I already know by then! Haha Trying to be more relaxed this cycle 😬 🤞

A08x · 09/03/2020 11:33

@emma4282 I have been impatient since month 1 it’s so hard not to isn’t it?! We are pretty in sync with our cycles then ☺️ Hopefully this month is it!

@FuzzyGoose I say this also every month and still end up testing before AF...it’s like a bad habit 😂

@ThomasinVye if you don’t mind me asking, when you conceived your son did you also have one tube then? Hope your appointment goes well on Thursday x

@1987Nic @Butterflyflower1234 If I have any advice it would be to keep yourself as busy as you can in the 2WW so you don’t become obsessed! Anything at all to keep you distracted lol! Although @butterfly I’m sure you have plenty with your home wedding coming up, congrats 💗

@calimommy I’m also trying to be more relaxed this cycle, if we repeat it enough times in our heads that we are chilled maybe we can start to believe it? 😅

ThomasinVye · 09/03/2020 11:56

A08x yes I only had one tube when I conceived my son. If I'm honest I always thought I would never have children or be able to conceive. I went down to theatre to have my appendix removed and woke up to be told it wasn't my appendix. I had a large ovarian cyst and it had damaged the tube so all had to be removed.
I never had to think or try for my son so never worried about it or obsessed! Every month is torture now.
I did an OPK test today and it was immediately positive (test line far darker than control). Clear blue is still stuck on the smiley face so cant test with that. Slightly irritated it didn't pick up on high fertility days. Never get the flashing smiley face!
Going to count tomorrow as 1DPO and the temptation to take pregnancy tests will kick in!

I have my fingers crossed for everyone for BFPs.

emma4282 · 09/03/2020 13:38

Glad to see we are all in this together 😝
I am using clear blue ovulation digital and got my flashing smiley yesterday & this morning so hoping to ovulate in the next couple of days - I have said to my other half that if we don't conceive this month then next month I'm not going to track it, just have a 'month off' trying and see if it happens without me 'looking' to see what's happening! 🤷🏼‍♀️ but fingers crossed this is all our months and we don't have to worry about ovulation tests next month! 🤞🏼 it would be lovely to fall this month as that means we'd all have a newborn for Christmas!

@ThomasinVye - I hope your appointment with the fertility dr goes well - thinking of you & im sure it will happen 🤞🏼

Mrsdingle2019 · 09/03/2020 13:44

Hi, can I join? I'm currently 4 dpo and struggling already with the tww! We have been trying since August 2019 but this is the first cycle using clearblue digital ovulation test. I am trying desperately not to get my hopes up but its turning into an epic fail! Any advice to help me through the tww would be gratefully appreciated!

ThomasinVye · 09/03/2020 13:59

Mrsdingle2019 no advice from me. I find it the longest two weeks ever every month. This month I have booked lots of things in to try and distract me and I'm unwell so hoping it goes by quicker.
I really want to not try next month, my due date would be December 27th!

Olivia2020 · 09/03/2020 14:28

Can I join?

This is my 8th month of trying but my periods have only just become regular after coming off birth control.

I am CD 14 due to ovulate on Thursday and AF is due 26th March.

Fingers crossed for December babies :)

calimommy · 09/03/2020 16:33

Never imagined I'd want a December birthday but I'd be thrilled for one now 😂🤞 also my dates would put me for the very start IF we got lucky this month so no risk of Xmas in hospital haha

Anyone else's DH loosing their goddamn mind over the markets? Now DH has said he doesn't want another baby after all because we are headed for a recession. 🙈🙈💀

tossacoin1 · 09/03/2020 17:37

Can I join? I will be testing end of March [smile]@Olivia2020 I'm also due to ovulate Thursday but I'm only on cd11 and that's based on an app. I am doing opks for the first time this month, are you using them?
