TTC bubba #1

[Genevive123]

Hi ladies

I'm 23 and my partner (27) and I are TTC baby #1!

It was our first month trying this month and AF is due 2nd/3rd of March, so far just BFN! My cycle is roughly 26/27 days! But didn't expect to get pregnant first cycle so I'm feeling ok 👌🏼

Anyone else TTC baby no 1 with a similar cycle? 🥰 xx

@Genevive123 thank you :) I'm too exhausted to dtd again today 🤣 have done the last 3 days so hoping it's enough 🥲🤞🏻

I just got my first flashing smiley! Cycle day 11. Feeling really good about this cycle, and DH is really on board too. Currently on a dtd-every-36-hours kick, and it sounds like that will actually start to count for something from today :D

@xoJellyBean stopping after 3 more cycles due to our wedding being June 2022 and trying to avoid having to rearrange our wedding a second time xx

Hi lovelies! Jumping back on here. AF finished on Sunday for me and I have been using OPKs everyday. They are all consistently low! Have a feeling I'm going to be one of those that gets a sudden and short peak, which is a pain because I'm at work 5 days a week and struggle to test at the right times 😭😭 Not to mention I'm confused about what cycle day im on because I have weird spotting for 4 days before I start bleeding more heavily! Oh the joys of cycle tracking.

Loving hearing everyone's updates! Nice to have company through all of this.

@mrskcam aww a wedding!! How exciting 😍😍

@HopingForBabyM2021 mine were low for the longest time but finally got my peak on cd 19! 🤞🏻 I follow this lady on Instagram and she always says to count cd1 as the day you have your full flow 😊

@taytay2020 yayyyy amazing !! Hope you've been DTD lots and lots!!

@HopingForBabyM2021 don't worry too much because you probably won't get a peak until around cycle day 12/14 ! Mine is pretty low and then I end up getting a peak for a day and a half so blenty of time to DTD so don't worry :) xx

Hello ladies - I'm currently CD 18 approx. (I haven't tracked this month). Our referral is in process- they have a 6 month waiting list, I'm gutted.
We will keep trying but my heart hurts.
Xxx

How is everyone today?

Welcome @laura2093, I am sorry to hear your TTC journey has been a tough one. Is your referral for ivf or investigations? I am new to TTC, after coming off the pill in January. I am cd28 after ovulating on cd19 (I think) so my first experience of the tww.

@Hopingforbabym2021 i wouldn't worry too much yet, its still early in your cycle. I got my peak on CD18 similar to @xoJellyBean

@Neom87 @Genevive123 @xoJellyBean aw you guys are lovely. AF is super long for me so im actually on CD18 or there abouts. Seen a slight increase in LH levels today so fingers crossed I'm on the up!!

Is anyone else using the premom app? Find their calender so confusing 😂

I am CD18 and 8DPO today feeling pretty chilled, I absolutely don’t feel any different so that could be why haha! Hope everyone is doing good x

@HopingForBabyM2021 hope you get your peak soon! I've never used the premom app but any screenshots I see are super confusing 🤣 I subscribe to femometer & clue. Also have the free version of fertility friend!

@Neom87 cycle twins! What cd are you now?

@laura2093 I'm sure you feel less pressure not tracking? Heres hoping you fall pregnant before you need your referral :)

Fingers crossed for you @Kty09 🤞🏻

My ovulation was confirmed by my temp rise this morning... I'm so eager for the next two weeks to fly in 🤣

@hopingforbabym2021 ah I see, does that mean you have a longer cycle or not? Hopefully you will see your peak soon!! 🤞are you BD-ing much or just normal and waiting for the peak?

@kty09 it's good your so chilled, I feel relaxed but have symptom spotted so feel like i may be setting myself up to fail 😒 I think because I have been on the pill so long now that I am off it and TTC i am really focusing in on any slightest thing I feel. Although I am very aware they may just be totally normal for a body not being pumped with fake hormones for 18 years! 😐

@xoJellybean I am cd28 and 9dpo 🙂 Do you use a BBT thermometer then, I have never tracked temp. Do you test at the exact same time every morning?

@hopingforbabym2021 I was using premom but switched to femometee after seeing @genevive123s recommendation. I was using the femomwtwe opks already, so I had a look and I just preferred the layout and appearance of it.

Haha sometimes I get so lost in these messages, it's so silent and then suddenly loads of messages hehe !

I'm 4dpo today and honestly I definitely don't feel like this month is our month! I've said it the whole way through now, don't feel different at all yet I know it's still early but I have the gut instinct haha! AF due a week on Monday! X

@Neom87 yes I do, been temping for about two years now! I use the BBT Femometer thermometer, got it on Amazon :) you should defo research it, it is the only reliable way to know for sure ovulation happened as our bodies can have an LH surge but not release an egg! 🌡

@Genevive123 positive thoughts 🤞🏻😊 it could just be your month!

@xoJellybean yeah I think I will have a look into it. No pint going off your surges if there's no egg at the end of jit! Do you have to do it when you wake up but before you move or something? 🤔

@genevive123 we are keeping you on your toes! 🤣 like @xojellybean says it could sneak up on you when you are least expecting it! 😁

@Neom87 sorry you asked me that and I didn't respond 🤣🤣 I take mine every morning as soon as I wake up as that's when it's most accurate :) you take it within the hour and then you get a chart like so...

I don't test early anymore as I find it so upsetting... I only test if my temp is still high at 13/14dpo as my pattern appears to be a drop at that stage if af is coming :)

@xojellybean that's interesting that you can use it as a clue whether to test or not too! Just noticed all the typos in my last post!! 🙈 I hate that you can't edit your posts!!

@Neom87 it's easy to get obsessed over it though🤣 I find it harder to see a bfn than my temp dropping but that's just me 🤷🏼‍♀️ don't worry about the typos 🤣 I hate that too! Are you symptom spotting?? You must be 9dpo now?

@xojellybean yes I am and I have been 🙄 🙈 But its my first 2ww so I think im over excited!! Haha! Was absolutely exhausted Thursday and Friday. Had one very short period of feeling nauseous two days ago but that did coincide with my taking my seven seas on an empty stomach, so may have been related. Body was so achy, the other day, snuffly nose and weeing and dreaming a lot (not at the same time thankfully)! 🤣

@Neom87 all very promising 🤞🏻🥰 when are you going to test? my nipples are sore tonight.. 1dpo and the madness begins 🤣

@xoJellyBean....or its completely in my head!! 🤣🤡 Nice to see I'm not the only one sym spotting!! I'm trying to hold out for a bit yet. My app says period due 26th but I'm not too sure how accurate that is at the moment. Not going to lie, when I woke up yesterday and needed a wee I did have the thought that I could poas, as I see others 9/10 DPO doing it! 😄 I quickly went to the loo so that I couldn't!! 🤣

@HopingForBabyM2021 Hello, I am using premom, it works well for me. I love their new version of the calendar😂 It tells me when to test, which is very helpful!

@Neom87 definitely keeping me on my toes 😂 oooh can't you get a FRER and do one cheeky test? 😂😂

@Neom87 I’m exactly the same! I have had the implant for 6 years and had it taken out in jan - I’m pretty sure my body will still be adjusting from that! I think if I wasn’t to come on before next weekend I would do a test as I will be 14DPO.
I have had such vivid dreams since getting the implant out I wonder if it’s something to do with the hormones?!
I have felt a few twinges and thought oooh could this be something 😂 so I’m not totally chilled haha!

Think my OH would think I’m crackers if I started taking my temp every morning hes sooo chilled about it so he doesn’t get all the tracking haha if only he knew!
