TTC October Crew?

[OliviaGrace1x]

Hey guys! TTC since March! Periods have become irregular since I took Northisterone (to delay my periods) in January! So my days may be off (deffo will be off) but it's worth a try. Just stress as my partners in the army so he's away all week and I feel he will miss my most fertile days 😂 any others want to share the journey?

💗

@purplepoppet92 ideally we want to have the scan before we tell people. Would only be if I got terrible morning sickness again would we tell parents early. So really hoping I catch on this month as would put our 12 week scan at around December 15th 😁🤞

@Mommabear20 lovely idea!! I defo want to have an early scan if I do fall pregnant. Currently I do not have a doctor. Long story short, I moved house in Feb and they kicked me off the register because I no longer was in the catchment area. The area I moved to is new and the new health centre that should have opened in September has been postponed due to Covid. Not entirely sure what you do if you fall pregnant and you don't have a doctor?!

My parents are like hound dogs, they would be able to sniff pregnancy on me, so I am staying well away from them if I can haha, at least until I have a scan done!

Got my first flashy smiley this morning which is exciting!! Hubby is in a grotty mood today though and didn't sleep well last night so hoping he perks up a bit before tonight!

Hello all! My partner and I have decided to start TTC. I am 37 and can't help feeling like it's going to be a slog. I have an 11 yo from a previous relationship. I am also being treated for severe depression but the last few months have been nice and stable, I'm going to have to change from my current antidepressant ,paroxetine, and on to sertraline. So not actually TTC until my meds have switched and we've had a meeting with my psychiatrist, which will be the last week of October! Xx

@CookieMonster3001 oh my god! Same! My MIL is amazing at sniffing it out! 😂 she seems to know we're trying even though we haven't told anyone and it's incredibly soon after our DD! They're mad aren't they?! 😂
Wow! That sucks! Maybe contact your antenatal ward at your hospital and get their advice.

@Qwom this may sound odd - but can you let me know what info you get from your psychiatrist regarding conceiving on sertraline? I have reduced myn to minimal dosage due to TTC but im struggling a bit to be honest.

@purplepoppet92 of course! She did suggest moving on to sertraline. Im on the highest dose of paroxetine at the mo and also taking quetiapine. The appointment is 1500 on 15th so I can let you know after then _

This is also a great leaflet on sertraline - a well mum is paramount!

2nd flashing smiley this morning. DTD after a lot of hard work last night! OH was just stressed out and couldn't ejaculate. Have to give it to him tho, he persevered and an hour late it happened! LOL tired is an understatement. And we have to do that again?
Due to ovulate on Sunday (but potentially could be Saturday) and was planning on DTD again Friday, Saturday and Sunday but OH doesn't think he will be able to do Friday as he might be busy.... so already starting to think it won't have been enough.

@CookieMonster3001 my GP recommended DTD every other day to improve the quality of DH 'juice' 😂
Don't give up! It only takes once to be successful! Think happy baby thoughts!

[quote OliviaGrace1x]@Flowerkm yeah well I'll give you some of my info! I'm only 23. I got pregnant 3 years ago with my current partner and we didn't go through with the pregnancy. I've regretted it ever since and the guilt just eats me up 😭 my partners now in the army so we've gone down the typical path of TTC and talking about maybe having a small quick wedding! I took Northisterone in January and since then my periods are so messed up my cycles range from 20/30/35 days and they're different every month so I have no idea when I'm ovulating or anything 😫 so stressful.

I have heard these pills work though called seven seas trying to conceive. They give you the extra nutrients and things like that which make conceiving easier. My friend used them and they worked for her and there's also so many good reviews online so maybe worth a go? I've bought them but not used them yet! [/quote]
Hi! So nice to hear your story as I have exactly the same situation. Been ttc for 6 months now (Oct will be number 7). We got pregnant accidentally almost 2 years ago and didn't go through with it and I regret it too. Every month I get a negative I am so frustrated with myself!! Also have irregular periods and have no idea when I'm ovulating. We've been DTD Every 2/3 days but we stop at around day 23 so not sure if we're stopping too early!!

And so the TWW begins. I’m feeling quite positive, how about everyone else?

Not sure if that’s a little optimistic as we were only able to DTD 2 days before ovulation and OH got called away for work! But based on the graph that @eloiseislost Shared a week or so ago, that should be fine 🤞🏼

@AnneZ31 sorry am fairly new to all the acronyms, what does TWW stand for??

Two week wait @Mommabear20

@AnneZ31 🙌 thank you! 😂

As in the horrendous wait between ovulating and being able to do a test 😜

@AnneZ31 😂 my current situation! My anxiety level is at an all time high! 😂 is it the 20th yet???

Hey ladies! Can you please have a look at my charts and give me your opinion? I'm not experienced with BBT and tracking, only started mid-cycle last month, currently on second cycle TTC.
So last month, ovulation was confirmed by OPK and temps -though I only started tempting a day before the positive OPK so really all the useful info I have is the luteal phase temps.
This month I started using the CB advanced digital on CD6, no flashing smileys at all, but got a static on CD10.
After 48 hours (CD12) I started using it again along with cheapies. All negative until CD13 where I got another peak on both.
Fertility Friend is adamant that I ovulated on CD11, but I didn't get any EWCM until CD12. My chart so far does looks like it has a temperature shift but temps are nowhere near last month's luteal phase.
WHAT'S GOING ON?

I’m no expert. I only started temping mid way through last cycle too! But given that your temperature hasn’t gone up, I would say you’ve probably ovulated today. Tomorrow morning, if your temp goes up like it did last month, that’ll confirm it! @eloiseislost

Solid smiley for me this morning followed by a very strong positive on a cheapie OPK (which was surprising considering it was FMU). Planning on DTD today and tomorrow, except DH is hungover from drinking too much last night with his best friend.

The idiot came home last night at 2am and then threw up all over our new cream carpet, despite the fact I put a bucket next to his head! MEN! Still... I cant stay mad at him as I need his sperm lol.

@eloiseislost I heard somewhere that your body can spike in LH multiple times in the effort to release an egg, which may be why you have seen another positive. From my understanding until you notice a shift in your BBT and you usually have to have 3 consecutive high temperatures, you probably haven't ovulated yet. I would keep an eye out for tomorrows temp, and if its higher, then you probably ovulated today.

Okay so I've officially started just TTW -
anyone else??

5dpo here, anyone else going mad symptom spotting??

@Mommabear20 hey! My highest ovulation day today so me and the bf did the deed today and yesterday... haha. Well that's what my app says anyway as my periods are slightly irregular at the moment and I don't do any charting or anything. SOOO impatient wondering if its worked this month or not! Lol

I have also officially started my first ever TWW. 1DPO today (altho I am waiting for the next two days of temperatures to confirm) already feeling impatient!! Haha

@Mommabear20 what symptoms have you had so far?
