Good luck to you too!
This is my first cycle ttc no.2 and AF (or hopefully BFP!) is due around the 28th but my cycles have been a bit irregular since having my DS.

FlorenceO · 03/08/2020 18:42

Hey 👋🏼 lovely to meet you @Beaglemum93 fingers crossed for you hun!
Are you taking vitamins? I'm taking vitamin c and folic acid (just supermarket ones)
I had a withdrawal bleed beginning of July when I stopped my pill end of June. My first proper period since being off the pill started 31st July and was very short and light. We bd like crazy last month so I'm worried about there being no egg! 🙈😬
Im eating all the best things I think I can for fertility, but I'm not sure exactly when I ovulate (if I do!) 🤷‍♀️ it's all so confusing, I'm 30 so not young and not old, my other half works away so can only bd in the fertile window once or twice so maybe that not helping. Xx

Hey ladies! Hope it's ok to join.

This is our 2nd cycle TTC baby no. 1!! AF due 21st August (or hopefully not).

This is my first time (today being the first day) using OPKs and I find it really confusing 😂 also taking vitamins/supplements for the first time 🤞🏽

MissMini · 03/08/2020 23:37

Hi guys, hope you don’t mind me joining in. This is first month ttc baby no. 2. I’m tracking on a few apps but not 100% sure when ovulation is because they all say different! AF due 19th Aug. Also I’m 34 now so starting to feel a bit on the older side for conceiving! Hope everyone gets BFP’s this month.

Shinea · 04/08/2020 06:26

Hello everyone, Shall I join in?
This is my 4th cycle TTC after MMC in april, fertile window is from 9th August. AF due on 27th Aug

FlorenceO · 04/08/2020 07:32

Welcome everyone so pleased to see people joining and we can share our stories or tips! I'm getting impatient waiting for my fertile window haha xx

Hi, this is our 1st cycle ttc again after mmc in March, my psriod just finished yesterday. Taking vitamins but no opks etc

Shinea · 04/08/2020 08:59

@FlorenceO thank you :) how you are up for ovulation? Using OPKs or tracking on app?

somanystars · 04/08/2020 09:25

Hi everyone, hope it's okay for me to join 😊 I actually think I've seen a couple of you on other threads but I'm just joining a few - I love talking about all things TTC and we're not telling anyone so I'm looking for an outlet! My husband is wonderful and supportive but only so much of it he can take 😅

We are on cycle 1 of TTC #1 and just now coming up to FW. I just know I'm going to be an awful symptom spotter so looking forward to that starting in a week or so lol. Fingers crossed for a lucky thread!

beckyBP · 04/08/2020 10:40

Hey @somanystars 👋🏽 very exciting!! Symptom spotter over here 🙋🏼‍♀️ it's so hard not to. X

samantha06 · 04/08/2020 10:45

Morning everyone! this is my 3rd month ttc baby no.3 🤞 started officially 'trying' in June.
My AF due August 20th.
Good luck everyone else🥰

somanystars · 04/08/2020 10:45

@beckyBP I had a couple of cycles before TTC where I wasn't using hormonal contraception to try and get used to what my body does in a cycle where I haven't conceived but I just know I'll be obsessed anyway when the time comes 😅 I noticed you mentioned that you're taking vitamins etc, do you mind if I ask which ones? x

beckyBP · 04/08/2020 14:29

@somanystars that's actually a really smart idea!

Yes of course! This is what I'm taking. I read about them on this blog.. www.luisazissman.co.uk/?p=647

Plm28 · 04/08/2020 14:43

Hi ladies can I join? August will be my 2nd cycle. TTC baby number one

somanystars · 04/08/2020 14:55

@beckyBP Ah thank you! I think we might both be on another thread talking about this 😅 I just went and got some CoQ10 and omega 3 from Savers haha, hopefully they'll work just the same! Plus some gummy multivitamins for DH as we were talking this morning about how we wished they did them for adults and then I swiftly realised they did 😂

@Plm28 hi and welcome 😊 Where are you in your cycle just now?

FlorenceO · 04/08/2020 16:48

Hello to all new to the thread since my last comment and welcome - of course you can all join! We are all in this ttc boat together and it's great to have so many on board, I'm hoping we will all be joining a bfp thread together in September!
I'm not using any opks or temp charting. Just going to check cervical mucus for now. My cycles are usually regular but I've not been off the pill long.
When's everyones fertile window and when are you planning to dtd? X

Roelav1 · 04/08/2020 17:01

Hi everyone I am new here! I’m ttc this month. I brought the clear blue advanced ovulation test. I wanted to practise using it before I actually started testing properly so took a test sat evening the result was low fertility which I expected. I started testing again this morning as per the instructions that came with the test based on length of my shortest cycle in the last few months, and to my surprise got a peak fertility result. Is this accurate, I am quite early on in my cycle (period finished 4 days ago) so unsure if it’s accurate or not? Any advice welcome 😊

beckyBP · 04/08/2020 18:07

@somanystars we probably are!! 😂 ah well done. You're all prepared!

@FlorenceO my window differs on all apps
Flo is 3rd- 8th

Femometer is 2nd - 8th
Ovia is 5th - 10th

I'm on day 2 of OPKs (just waiting for it to.. load?! Can't think of the word 😂)

Hey @Roelav1 I think it must be. Keep doing it. I'm thinking to get a CB one because I just don't understand the ones I've got!

Roelav1 · 04/08/2020 18:33

I’m not sure if I messed it up as the test says it uses the first test to establish baseline levels and then you are supposed to keep testing everyday until you see high or peak fertility. I didn’t test for two days as didn’t think I needed to and then tested today and it’s come back as peak? Just wondering if it’s detected a ‘surge’ in LH because I tested too early before and my levels have since gone up. Once you’ve got the peak result you can’t test again for another 48 hrs. God this is so confusing 😂

beckyBP · 04/08/2020 18:59

@Roelav1 honestly.. it completely baffles me. I don't know why I dont get it.. but it don't 😂

FlorenceO · 04/08/2020 19:13

I'm thinking of ordering some opks but have no experience using them in the past - what ones do you recommend x

OP posts:
somanystars · 04/08/2020 19:16

@FlorenceO According to Ovia my FW starts tomorrow, but I was getting flashing smilies on the Clearblue from yesterday so I'm going to go by that! DTD today and will for the next couple of days I think.

@beckyBP I got some of the cheapy strip type OPKs as well (because I got the Clearblue very cheap as it was going out of date soon so wanted something to compare it to) and they are definitely more tricky! Feels like they take ages to "load"! 🤣

@Roelav1 Despite what I've just said above, could you maybe get your hands on a cheapy one? Just as a sort of second opinion?

Roelav1 · 04/08/2020 19:46

I do have some strip ones - I tried one this morning and there was a second line but it was fainter than they control line so I’m really not sure 🤔 I may try another of the strip ones tomorrow morning and see what that comes up as

FlorenceO · 04/08/2020 20:05

Oooh good luck @somanystars I hope this is your month! Thanks for the advice will look at clear blue opks - so which days do you test? I've never used one x
