First time TTC - second cycle

I was wondering if anyone else is in the same position as me?
I’m 29, it’s my first time ttc and we started trying last month. I quickly become obsessed with symptom spotting and testing like a maniac but other than taking folic acid and using the clue app to track fertile window and ovulation we didn’t do anything extra.
It’s now my second month ttc and I want to give it a better shot this month! Today is my first day in my fertile window, I’ve got pre-seed lube, I’ve cut coffee down to 1-2 cups a day, I’m making a conscious effort to eat healthily and I’ve ordered vitamin d for me and wellman for Hubby.

I would love to speak to anyone else at the same point as me, or hear any tips and tricks for getting that beautiful BFP!!

How r u doing @Laurenemma13? you must be well into TWW now?! fingers crossed! how u feeling?
Hope everyone else is doing ok too and more BFPs!

Laurenemma13 · 10/09/2020 16:55

Oh wow @leftitlate37 massive congrats!!🥳 you must be so excited!!!
Yeah between 7-8 dpo and starting to go crazy 😂 Had cramps for a few days and really tired but really trying not to test early. Easier said than done lol!

leftitlate37 · 10/09/2020 20:21

thanks @Laurenemma13! not sure its sunk in yet! i always need something in my life to stress about and within about 2h i was like oh noooo i hope this lasts...i know, ridiculous eh!
argh its like the hardest time eh 7DPO ish!!! I had managed to never test as I know what id be like, i would just never stop and thought if in for the long haul id spend a small fortune!! good luck holding out ...when do you think you might test? do you usually get cramps around now? x

Laurenemma13 · 10/09/2020 21:15

@leftitlate37 exciting times but I know exactly what you mean, I'm such a worrier so would be exactly the same.once that initial adrenaline has worn off! Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🥰
Honestly I'm not sure, I do get cramps but normally it's near the start of AF and not this early or for this long cos it's been a few days now. Going to try and hold til Tuesday but might end up testing on Sunday when itll ne like 10-11dpo! 🙈 xx

Laurenemma13 · 14/09/2020 07:48

@leftitlate37 how are you keeping?
Tested this morning and also got my BFP after a super faint line yesterday so a but shocked to say the least!!

leftitlate37 · 14/09/2020 09:25

All ok so far thanks, like obv early days and bit anxious but keeping everything crossed!! Just waiting to hear back from maternity unit re appointments now ...not sure itll feel real til then!

Laurenemma13 · 14/09/2020 09:47

@leftitlate37 thankyou! Same as you, really not sunk in and as it's so early, just a bit anxious atm!
Starting to get really sore boobs and just want to sleep Haha!
I've looked at the calculator and think it would round about 26th May! Any idea when your due?
So glad to hear you're doing okay 😊 exciting times! Hopefully you'll get the appointments through soon! I know what you mean, til then its almost like it's not real!! Xx
