TTC Jan 2021

[MrsE95]

Hi All

I’m about to start my TTC journey for baby number 2 and I am so so so so excited. 😁 is anyone else starting their TTC journey too? Would love to have some ladies in the same boat. ☺️

Baby dust to you all for the new year 💖

@glow92 ah that's really encouraging, thank you! I used to be bang on 28 days before the pill, and my first AF came exactly 28 days after I stopped, might be wishful thinking that I've settled so quickly. I'll keep on with the opks for the rest of this week though. What times do you normally test? X

@MrsA9 I tested mid-afternoon CD10, 11 & 12 then early(ish) morning and after work (5-6pm) CD13, 14, 15, and today 16.
I don't think I'll do this all the time, just while I'm understanding my timings!
Do one in the morning at day 14 it could be any moment now... definitely DTD 😂

Evening ladies, hope you’re all okay ☺️

Has anyone else got the femometer app? It’s pricey for the premium one but I’m just exploring it now as I’m going to start tracking from the morning and honestly it looks amazing! 😍 would deffo recommend for anyone else who likes obsessively tracking everything during your cycle 😂

Hope you’re all doing okay and enjoying all of your baby dancing 🙊 xx

Hey @MrsE95 if you don't want to spend, I've been using Premom - downloaded it as it was the app compatible to read the OPK's I bought but I think it's pretty good! Wouldn't know in comparison to others though.

Hope you're ok, I'm in the TWW from tomorrow!

Oohhh I’ll have a look thank you @glow92! Aaahhhh soooo excited you’re going into the TWW, hope it goes quickly for you!! 😁😁

I promised myself I’d play it cool yet here we are... 🤦🏻‍♀️🙊🙈😂 I’ve missed tracking and peeing on sticks so much!! 😂😂 xx

@MrsE95
Guilty 🙋🏼‍♀️

Glad I’m not along @glow92 😂😂 it’s soooo addictive isn’t it!!

That is a beautiful peak! Hope you did lots of baby dancing around about now 🙊😂 xx

@MrsE95 I was a little concerned that it was short... I'm only cycle 2 and have nothing to compare to last month, we'll see 🤷🏼‍♀️
Haha I'm still not fully clued up on when is the best time to aim for! But we have been pretty 'busy' 🥰

I checked my old tracking from when I got pregnant with my first and I ovulated on CD 16 too 😁 it is hard when you’ve got nothing really to go from and you’re just stabbing in the dark! 😫

Can’t wait for us to get busy and also for me to finally start having a sex drive again after bleeding for nearly 20 days straight 😫 xx

@MrsE95 I don't know whether it's the excitement of coming off contraception, or maybe the hormones from it affected me for so many years but it's changed me completely!! My drive used to be quite low which I felt rubbish about for so long.

This TTW is dragging so much we have covid and I'm on furlough to who knows when!
It would be fine if I could tell myself it's okay if I don't get pregnant this month we will book a little holiday to take our minds off it... Oh wait we can't even leave the house to see our families 😢
Feel like I'm on such a downer at the moment and a baby would give us and our families something to look forward to.

We are in the TWW, AF due on Monday though even if it doesn’t show up I think I’ll try to hold off on testing. With my first I waited till 4 days late. Just very aware I’ve only been off the pill since mid December and may not be in a normal cycle so no AF on Monday could simply be my body adjusting.

I honestly don’t think I’m pregnant. With my first I just knew. I’m okay with not being pregnant because I know falling pregnant in the first month is unlikely by my god the anxiety!

I suffer with general anxiety disorder anyway but I get so anxious that maybe it won’t happen for us again. 3/4 of my paternal aunts suffer from PCOS and one likes to inform me that just because I conceived easily doesn’t mean I don’t have it to. My partners cousin is dealing with secondary infertility and it all just makes me so anxious that we could struggle to.

Anyway, sorry for that moan I just needed to get it out there cause I’m driving myself a little crazy this morning.

@glow92 I think you were right! Pretty sure I got a positive opk yesterday (CD15). Good luck in your TWW 🤞🤞 x

@MrsE95 it's amazing how exciting peeing on a little stick can be 😂 hope everything gets moving for you quickly x

@Sparkles512 & @xTinkerbell I'm sorry you're both feeling so down, here's an internet hug 🤗
I'm only in cycle 1 and can already feel how much of a rollercoaster it's going to be. We put so much pressure on ourselves (not even just TTC, in life in general I think), it's perfectly normal to have days it all gets a bit much. You're not alone though x

@MrsA9 yessss! so pleased for you, I'm 1DPO now so we must only be a couple days apart!

Will try and symptom spot, I'm bloated as hell today but I doubt that's anything related this soon haha.

Sending big virtual hugs to you @Sparkles512 and @xTinkerbell. I know exactly what you mean it I sooo bloody hard right now and it literally feels like all we can possibly focus on is TTC like there isn’t anything else to distract you from it. 😞 Really hope you both catch on soon! 💖🙏

@MrsA9 I’ve had such a shit shit day at work today I’m actually so excited to pee on a stick tonight it’s going to be the highlight of my day I might even pee on 2 😂

Aaahhhh it’s sooo excited having ladies in the TWW now though 😁😁 xx

AF appeared today... 2 days early (well I dont actually know my cycle length having just come off the pill but used to be 28 days). I’m feeling okay about it. Just counting down the days till we can start trying again

Sorry 3 days early, not 2

@xTinkerbell sorry about AF, glad you're ok though and looking forwards. Take care of yourself x

Hi guys, I've just joined!
I'm 24 years old and I had my first pregnancy end at 12 weeks miscarriage on 30th September 2020, and now I just birthed another miscarriage at 12 weeks again!

It's my second miscarriage in a row, and I'm a healthy 24 year old with no underlying medical conditions nor a history of health conditions.

Has anyone heard similar stories of anyone in their 20s or have any tips other than to see a specialist? X

@MrsA9 Thank you, I really didn’t expect it this month so the biggest surprise was AF being early.

Fingers crossed for sometime soon!

Baby dust to you all for the new year 💖

Hey there lovelies thought I'd join the thread! 26 (27 in March) TTC 6 month now, no underlying conditions that I know of, was on contraception pill 10 years, lighter cycles post pill but I guess it's part of the adjustment period... I use OPK, BBTs & pre Natals! Trying to not place too much pressure on me & hubby for it to happen as our families do enough of that at the moment (huge covid lockdown baby boom brewing around us to keep the pressure surrounding us going 😂🙈) CD 7 going to start my OPK today, fingers crossed this is our cycle 🤞🏻🥰

Baby dust to you all xoxo

Hi,

Following this as am also TTC first month of trying properly we had a miscarriage in 2019 and am 3 DPO AF isn’t due until 6th Feb and this TWW is absolutely killing me!

Is any one currently in their TWW, any symptoms, CM etc to look out for?

@KLR2019 hey! I’m on my TWW, I’ve had every symptom going (nausea, headaches, cramps, back ache.. this list goes on) but think it’s just the rise of hormones after ovulation. I’m 5dpo now and my boobs are terribly tender around my nipples mainly. Not sure what I should be looking out for in regards to getting a BFP but will be testing Saturday if AF hasn’t arrived between now and then x

@leigha22 fingers crossed for you🤞🏼 Hoping it’s good news, when are you due on or are you doing a ER test? I ordered some that was meant to be here next weekend but they came today think it’s a sign!

I know it’s far to early to test for me with my being 3 days since ovulation, what is your CM like?

@KLR2019 I’m not majorly hopefully as I only came off the pill a few weeks ago so don’t actually know when my period is due but going on pains and CM I ovulated 20th and we DTD 14th, 18th and 19th. Mine will be an ER yep! If my cycle is 28 days then it’s only a couple of days off so should show if anything to show! How are you feeling? My CM has been quite creamy and wet, sometimes making me think my period has come. What about yours?? X
