Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

Hi ladies, can I join please? So sorry to hear of those who have suffered losses, really hoping Feb is your month ♥️ I’m 33, ttc number 2 and this is our first cycle of trying. my little boy is about to turn 2 this month and that seems to have sent a message to my ovaries that I need another baby?! Trying to be chill but failing!

@Katierose34 hi, don't be worried to ask. I always wonder questions like this.
I'm 33, and have a son who is 9 with my husband. We are TTC again after 2MC since my son.
The age gap bothers me a lot but my MC hit me hard mentally and I found it really hard to want to try again.
But here I am so so impatient to have another now but accepting that it might not happen and if it does, then I'll be very lucky no matter what age gap.
Good luck with your TTC journey xx

Katierose34 · 07/02/2021 14:20

@BWaiting sorry to hear for your losses.
For me, I've always wanted an age gap between 9 yo and another baby.
Both older children are at more independent stages in their life and I can have a large part of time with a baby when they are at school, although I never planned for it to be with a new husband! Funny how life turns out.

BWaiting · 07/02/2021 14:53

@Katierose34 I completely get where you're coming from with the age gap, i did want some age gap as I wanted my son to be more unrepentant but didn't plan for it to be this long but I guess it was out of my control. And I always worry what people will say, coming from an Asian background, if you haven't popped out 4 kids right away you'll always get questions from nosey family members! Haha
I believe everything happens for a reason, does your husband have any children? (Sorry if I'm being nosey) it must be exciting for you both!

BWaiting · 07/02/2021 15:14

@Katierose34 *independent not unrepentant sorry!

spagino21 · 07/02/2021 15:59

@BWaiting so true what you say about being from an asian background, i’m the same and the pressure is real lol despite the fact I only got married last summer!!

Katierose34 · 07/02/2021 16:57

@BWaiting no he doesn't have any children. I would love another one, he would love one so it would be great.
It's just so frustrating all the planning and then nothing each month but fingers crossed xx

laura2093 · 07/02/2021 19:45

Okay, I'm 8dpo... light cramps this morning and just gone to the toilet, (SORRY TMI!) brown blood on underwear and bright red blood in toilet.. no cramps now... bit early for AF, normally I'm 28 days to the day... HELP 😩

dippyegg32 · 07/02/2021 20:20

That looks like a very steep drop @laura2093 too much for an implantation dip as it's below your cover line so I'd say it's an early period tbh.

BWaiting · 08/02/2021 09:01

Help help help!
Morning ladies, I hope you're all well.
I need some advice please, my first month using the CB OPK.
Tested Saturday late morning, and nothing, tested yesterday morning, still nothing, have just tested this morning and I have a static smiley.....is this normal?! Slightly panicking as I'm not sure what to make of it! I was expecting some flashing smileys at some point....
Thank you in advance xx

BWaiting · 08/02/2021 10:06

To add to my previous post, this was the stick this morning...does this looks normal for a static smiley? It doesn't look dark enough to me? Although I'm not sure what I mean by dark enough!

Fifi1086 · 08/02/2021 10:10

@BWaiting yeah that looks spot on for a static smiley. Lines are quite pale on the cb opk - I'm on day 6 of flashing smiley and this is mine for comparison

BWaiting · 08/02/2021 10:21

@Fifi1086 you are fab! thank you for reading my lines for me, I'm rubbish at this and to me, because the other line is light i think it's all wrong, annoyed that I missed the flashing smileys though. I hope you get your static soon!!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

els10 · 08/02/2021 14:53

So, I'm back from my work trip. Didn't ovulate over the weekend, got home this morning to the clear blue digital ovulation kit and thought I'd give it a go, was originally going to start next cycle but thought why not! And a static smiley!! So if we DTD today and tomorrow that'll have me covered? Thank the lord for him working from home 😂🎉

spagino21 · 08/02/2021 15:40

hi ladies, this is going to sound really strange and a bit gross but for anyone who already has a child, did you ever suffer with constant phlegm in your throat during pregnancy? I’m only 7dpo but for the past few days I’ve had excess saliva and phlegm at the back of my throat that just won’t shift. And I don’t have a cold/flu or sore throat. I know I shouldn’t be symptom spotting but this one is just so apparent right now. I guess I could be coming down with something but I haven’t really left my flat in days as I’ve been wfh during lockdown so that seems unlikely to me? I’m resisting the urge to google as according to the internet everything under the sun can be a pregnancy symptom lol

Jessmary94 · 08/02/2021 18:55

Hey ladies can I join you?
We are about to start ttc, I am just finishing my last pill packet then its full steam ahead as soon as I start ovulating. This will be baby number 1 for us so I'm excited and nervous to start my ttc journey xx

bubs91 · 08/02/2021 20:23

Hi all,

Please can I join? I'm 29 cycle #7 TTC #1. I'm getting so fed up with ttc at the moment but am staying positive that this will be our month 🤞🏽

laura2093 · 08/02/2021 21:44

It was AF. I'm numb to it now I think - my OH's SA is booked for 22nd Feb. Smack bang when I'm due to ovulate and my birthday weekend. Fingers crossed I ovulate either early or late! But at least we will get answers xxx

BWaiting · 09/02/2021 14:03

Had anyone else just started the TWW again?
I'm now 1dpo today, still DTD this morning jussssssst incase!

@Fifi1086 have you got your static smiley yet!?

@laura2093 I'm sorry AF has arrived. What cycle # are you on? I would say treat yourself to something nice. Fingers x'd for your next cycle.

laura2093 · 09/02/2021 14:05

This was cycle 10 xxx

Fifi1086 · 09/02/2021 14:11

@BWaiting another flashing smiley ffs ! I'm out all day today so gonna test again around 5 but it's so frustrating

dunkedbiscuit · 09/02/2021 20:21

Sorry AF got you @laura2093 😕

laura2093 · 09/02/2021 20:30

Only thing we haven't tried is things like pre-seed or conceive plus? Any reviews?

els10 · 09/02/2021 20:56

@laura2093 I tried conceive plus on my first cycle and it worked! (MC but it worked)
It's not very exciting though, if you're used to using lube it's really not a very 'fun' alternative 😂
@BWaiting it's O day for me today so we can keep eachother company over the next few weeks! I've just been re-furloughed so the TWW is going to be hard!x
