Looking for TTC Buddy. 'March 21'🥰

[Lizbb]

Hi guys just a bit about me. I'm 36, have 2 kids at 3 & 5. Came off the pill in Nov and fell pregnant in Dec but MC in jan. Not sure my system was ready at that time. 🤷‍♀️. I'm ready to try again. Have my ovulation set for March 7. My first month TTC after a MC in Jan. I'm CD2 and will keep testing till I hit that peak 🙏. Welcome journey stories till we get that bfp. 😊

Hey @Lizbb ! I'm 34 and have a DD who is almost 12. Ttc number 2, came off pill end of dec and cycles returned right away. On cycle 3 now, cd4! I'm taking soya isoflavones this month to bring ovulation forward, my Cycle is 29 days but I don't ovulate until day 20 or 21. I'm feeling positive this month as I did a cheapy opk this morning and it's showing as strong today on cd4 as it was last month on cd13!

@Lizbb
Hey, fingers crossed for you this month. Im currently CD2. This is cycle #8 for me, came of my Pill last May. Ill be using ovulation tests from around CD8. We are going to try the SMEP plan this month.

@Fifi1086 hey hun. Maybe the soya is working. Might be worth testing to track ur ovulation each day just in case its changed. Good luck. Let's stay positive hopefully this is our month. 🤗

@Fizzybelts hey hun same here. Cd2. Is this for your first child? Im hoping with the supplements I'm taking now by body should be prepared. Good luck with the SMEP. P/s keep us posted. ❤

@Lizbb yes this is our first baby. Fingers crossed. What supplements have you been having? We introduced some new ones a few weeks ago so hopefully they will help.

@Fizzybeltstaking vit d and b and b complex. My bmi is over 30 so need to loose weight. Fuming the gyms are shut but I am staying active and watching what I eat 😁. What are you taking at the moment?

@Lizbb
Im taking folic acid, vitamin D, omega 3 and probiotic. Something i read on DR larrisas conception plan. My BMI is also over 30 so trying to get mine down also. Its hard isnt it with lockdown. Ive just downloaded a new fitness app to try

@Fizzybeltsso hard to exercise I'm so use to the gym. I'm trying though do a few outside runs and workout from beach body 🤣

Hiya :)

I'm 23 TTC a baby no 1. We started trying this month just gone but 99% sure unsuccessful as I'm 11dpo now and BFN. I am due AF on the 3rd of March, predicted ovulation around the 15th ☺️ xx

Hi, I am also 36 and TTC #3. My children are 16 &12 and both came along without actually trying, so its my first time TTC.
I've been TTC 5 months now and nothing so far. AF due tomorrow but I've had absolutely no signs its in its way. Usually I get sore and larger boobs a week before its due. Tested today..BFN
Good luck to you all , hopefully we won't be here too long

Hello everyone! I'm 34, TTC #3. DS1 is 4, DS2 we lost at 21+4 in November. Had a chemical pregnancy last cycle. So this is cycle 2!

I'm on all the supplements CoQ10, vitamin b complex, c, d, e. Multivitamin and 5mg of folic acid.

Can I just say, if your BMI is near, at or over 30, please speak to your GP about being prescribed the high dose of folic acid. A BMI of 30 can stop folate being absorbed adequately which can cause neural tube defects.

I'm on CD 19 and at 1dpo if the OPKs are to be believed. I don't usually ovulate till day 21-25 so I'll keep testing to see if it was a false start.

How is everyone?

Morning ladies and welcome
@genevive123 @bettySuz your not out of it until after you get the AF. There is still hope. 🤞 everything is crossed. 🥰

@AlexaPlayWhiteNoise sos sorry to hear of your loss. I suffered a mc in jan first one at 11 weeks was so hard. Thanks for the info. My bmi is over 30 so I started intermittent fasting yesterday so will see how it goes. Read alot of positive reviews. One lady fell pregnant whole doing it. Thanks for the advice hun x

Update from me still no lines on the strip yet. Glow app said I start fertile window today while prom app says tomorrow. But I test everyday. I pray the mc hasnt messed up my ovulation. Gonna try get appointment with gp.
Keep us updated people

@AlexaPlayWhiteNoise hey hun which CoQ10 do you take. Was told about Ubiquinol 100mg for older ladies. What do you think

Hello everyone!

New member here, so trying to get up to speed with all the acronyms 😂

I'm 31, TTC #1 and cycle #1

First time for everything!!! Excited (and scared...?) 🤩🤯

Lizbb I'd recommend intermittent fasting to anyone. I've lost three stone on it. I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. It is so hard. What CD are you on?

Chances are it won't happen but I'm a bit evangelical about making sure TTC women know about it now. The links between a high BMI and neural tube defects I mean. I had no idea until we lost DS2 because of a severe spina bifida diagnosis at the anomaly scan.

@Lizbb AF came today!! I'm ok about it - just excited to start a new cycle and try again now :)

Hi all,

Can I join the thread please? I am cd3 of my second cycle trying to conceive #1.

TTC is much more emotionally difficult than I ever anticipated! I assumed it would be tough if we struggle to conceive, but I had no idea how much of an emotional rollercoaster even the first month would be Finding it hard to think about anything else, though I’m sure lockdown isn’t helping! My cycle 2 resolution is not to test until af is due - though I wouldn’t be at all surprised if I cave!

Fingers crossed for us all this cycle!

Also, does anyone on here use pre-seed? I ordered some and am wondering if it’s really necessary to use the applicators? Feels like it might kill the mood a bit! Will it still work if we just use it less “scientifically”??

I just got mine off amazon. I take 600mg a day so I've had a couple of different brands as I go through them quite quickly. I've ovulated twice since taking them when I previously didn't so I'm hopeful they work well.

I've used it since last year. It definitely works. I fell pregnant twice in the last 6 months using it. I tend to put it in prior to starting. Using the applicators you're putting it right up to your cervix, so unless you put it in and then jump straight on as it were, there's no real obvious difference. If you're going for a quickie and don't give it a moment to warm up then your dh might notice as it's cold! Mine does anyway

@AlexaPlayWhiteNoise what!!!! 3 stones. Wow I'm on it. Funny actually I'm not even hungry. It's all a mental thing. I started yesterday and have done 7 pm to 11am. And only had protein shake and I'm not hungry. Might just have dinner. What exercise dod you do with it. Well done stock shocked 3 stones 🥳. Are u able to maintain it as well? Defo appreciate the advice. Have booked appointment with gp to discuss. I'm cd9. So 3 days after my af.

@KingstonSenorita welcome hun. First time exciting times. I have 2 already but always feel full of joy when I carry and have another child. 🙂

@Genevive123 its kl. Just stay positive and focused. Pray it happens on the next circle. Do you think ur gonna change anything or maybe vitamins your taking etc

@ottie27 welcome. I'm the same. With my other 2 just dtd and let nature and God do their thing and fell pregnant. Came of the pill in nov and fell pregnant in dec but mc in jan. Maybe boys was not ready cos I didn't take any vitamins. But this I may first time testing etc. But I'm busy as it is with work, kids and hubby so dont have time to be doing tww it's long 😀. Might even forget until af comes or not knowing me. That happen in dec. I was like hubby I havent seen my period it normally comes middle of dec..😂😂. Defo try to not to over stress.

@ottie27 heard and read about it and conceive plus but never tried. With mynither 2 used back y oil when I got dry and had them lol. Heard it helps women with their cm.

@AlexaPlayWhiteNoise yea thinking of buying the ubiquinol. It's not cheap lol. Is it possible to have a period and not ovulate? How do you know you were ovulating hun?

Hey guys❤ how are we. Hey guys just an update. I was using poundline test and wasnt picking. Started using easy@home as instructed to do at CD 5. At least this has picked up but still low. How you lovely ladies doing? Baby dust to us this March 🙏

Hi all, I have two dcs 10 and 6, had a mmc in December so this is first cycle trying again. I ovulated yesterday, confirmed by temping so here begins the 2ww!
