I am 35, DH 38. We have one DS 19 months old. We were waiting to try and conceive till after our holiday to Australia as I was really unwell last pregnancy and didn't want to be stuck on a plane for 24 hours feeling like that. Now it was cancelled we are going ahead with TTC, stopped cerelle last month, but BFN. So second cycle for me

@Sausage1990 it's nice to hear everyone's stories as often we all have had such different journeys so far!

I'm actually still waiting for AF to start, but pretty sure she'll be here today. I have all the signs. Just want this cycle over so I can start afresh!

Skyla01 · 11/04/2020 08:23

@popcorndiva sorry about your holiday :( Did you manage to get a refund?

selina37 · 11/04/2020 08:32

Hopping on!

Aimy1 · 11/04/2020 08:38

Can I hop on the bus please? I'm currently in my fertile window so wont be testing until end of the month. I had a faint line on 3 good brands last month for af to arrive. 1 day of spotting, 1 day of heavy and then 1 day of spotting. It then completely disappeared. Did another couple of tests thinking it could have been implantation and all negative! I have 2 children already and I never stressed over having them, I wanted a baby and it happened within 3 months. Didnt track anything ect. This time I'm obsessed with getting pregnant. Luckily with lockdown, we have had plenty of time to BD!

popcorndiva · 11/04/2020 08:43

@Skyla01 yes we get most refunded. Just the domestic flights in Aus we lost. So not bad overall but never book with Virgin. Singapore airlines refunded within 24 hours

Morning,

Can I hop on this one too please?

TTC #1, cycle 2 after AF arrived yesterday morning so currently just on CD2.

I love hearing everyone's stories and situations so here's ours :) Both just turned 30, married last August and never really had any plans as to when we would start TTC. We stopped contraception February time but we haven't really been 'trying' until now, this is the first cycle where I'll note ovulation timings etc. So fingers crossed for this month ☺️

I haven't told many people we're trying as I feel like it adds pressure, so it's nice to speak to everyone on here who's in the same boat 🥰

Natt99 · 11/04/2020 11:32

Love hearing other people's experiences too, good to know you're not alone.

I'm 33 husband is 36. Trying for #1, been off the pill since October but this month was first month of "properly" trying by ensuring we were dtd on appropriate days and tracking ovulation using clear blue.
Unfortunately was unsuccessful as AF came today 🙁 appreciate its early days and got lots of Easter chocolate to cheer me up! 🤗
Slightly concerned that I have a short luteal phase as AF came 9/10DPO and been having 24/25 day cycles so ordered some Agnus cactus and some supplements for hubby as it can't hurt.

Wishing everyone the best of luck for this cycle 💕

LV1987 · 11/04/2020 11:38

Hi everyone, can I hop on please?

Me and my OH are both 33, and this is cycle 4 for us. I came off the pill in December and haven't been quite regular since. My cycles have been 44, 38 and 36 days, so quite long, but hopefully getting closer to normal now.

We are trying OPKs this month to see if that helps us out as at the moment, we keep running out of steam before we get anywhere near ovulation 😂

Currently CD4 and having a much meaner AF than the previous two, so I think the pill is now well and truly out of my system. I reckon I'll be testing mid-May, but watch this space!

Fingers crossed for lots of BFPs in May 🤞

HopefulRobertsons66202 · 11/04/2020 12:24

Hopeful wishing that April Aunt Flow brings May pregnancy Glow! 😍

RobinRose · 11/04/2020 13:25

@HopefulRobertsons66202 I love that!

HopefulRobertsons66202 · 11/04/2020 13:28

@RobinRose thank you!😊 so hoping this is our month!

Adrianoska · 11/04/2020 14:07

Hello everyone! Welcome on board 🤗 good luck to everyone that has just started TTC....hope it will happen to us all this month 🌸🐣

My Proceive Max arrived and my AF arrived 😫 so upsetting.

It is difficult not to lose faith, this will be our 5th cycle...

Fingers crossed for everyone 🌸

HK92 · 11/04/2020 14:20

Hiya,

Can I jump on too?!

Had implant removed 20th March. Came on AF on Thursday (9th April) . This will be our first month TTC #1 as well. Good luck ladies xx

HopefulRobertsons66202 · 11/04/2020 14:41

This is my second cycle trying, first cycle we didn't really know what to do or what to expect so I think I got heartbroken when it didn't happen right away. Today I'm CD2, This time we have a small plan and the goal is to just have fun with it! But I definitely need to find a plan for the TWW that about killed me!

KateColx · 11/04/2020 15:11

@HopefulRobertsons66202 ah I think we're very similar, I'm also on CD2 and 2nd cycle of trying. We also didn't really have much of a plan last month, but I'm learning loads being on here so fingers crossed May will be luckier for us both ☺️☺️

Also with you on the wait! I didn't have the full two weeks as I only really started thinking about it properly just before AF arrived but that was enough! I think two weeks will be torture 🙈

HopefulRobertsons66202 · 11/04/2020 15:17

@KateColx yes!! I'm so excited to try again this month! I'm trying Preseed this month, and DTD every other day starting on CD8!

What's your plan?😊😊

Minster2012 · 11/04/2020 16:12

I’ve just downloaded the femometer app & done my first of their OPKs to try & get the lighting & place right for consistency in taking pictures! Has anyone else used it & any tips?

I’ve also got preseed on the way (I’ve warned DH that new lube is coming with an applicator & he said “oh how romantic 😂”

Adrianoska · 11/04/2020 16:22

After TTC for 4 months I tell you! My plan! My plan is to bath myself in Conceive Plus, have sex 3 times a day, stand on my head every time, drink all the Proceive max that I can afford, take baby aspirin, opks, bbt, and what have you, yoga, pineapple, seeds, lentils and apples. No sex after ovulation no matter what, even if my husband is begging. BJ perhaps.
I will also pray twice a day eat big breakfast etc. Will force my husband to eat all the supplements. I will keep checking any possible positive stories and try all the tricks. Omg.

popcorndiva · 11/04/2020 16:57

Ordered loads of vitamins well Vital DHA and cq10. My resting heart rate has dropped loads today so I think AF will start tomorrow

Hoping I can join

All new to this, partner and I are both 33. First month we will be trying, but came off the coil in February. Currently CD8, however my af are all over the place and always have been, averaging 38 but can range from 28 to 46 so catching my ovulation day is a worry. Fingers crossed I can get it right I have bought some OPKs but not sure when to start using them.

bluemonday2020 · 11/04/2020 17:44

Hello everyone. I am 30 and first month ttc here and waiting for ovulation in the next few days. Have been using the naturalcycles for over a year but find trying to spot opk very difficult. Fingers crossed to all of us!

Minster2012 · 11/04/2020 17:53

@Runnergirl1 I’d start using the OPKs now to try to see when surge is, that’s my plan. Prior to my MMC I’ve never had period so I don’t know either so I’m just trying to work it out. If you are CD8 it could be soon so might as well start to see if you can catch it & also get your head round understanding is my thoughts 🤷‍♀️

Minster2012 · 11/04/2020 17:56

Also @Runnergirl1 other ppl say it’s meant to be sperm waiting for the egg so you are meant to DTD every other day upto your fertile window so it could be good from now anyway

Minster2012 · 11/04/2020 17:58

@Adrianoska love it but why no sex after ovulation I thought that was the point!
