Sorry if I have missed anyone off.

So how are we all getting on? Are we all trying for a Christmas baby or is anyone having a month off?
Cd7 for me xx

Hi ladies, can I join please? I've just stopped taking my pill after 15 years on it (now 30 years old) and AF due tomorrow so I will be properly TTC in April and I am so new to all of this I have no idea what to expect and could use all the info I can get! Love reading all of your stories and wishing you all the best of luck! X

Kat668 · 31/03/2021 18:08

Hello lovelies can I also join? 🤗 I'm very similar to you actually @HRHXO , turned 30 in Feb and stopped taking the pill mid march :)

We waited to TTC till today as we wanted to try and avoid a Christmas day baby ha ha. I had CM for the last 5 days so think I ovulate today and we DTD. I haven't had a period yet but read that you can still conceive anyway so 🤞 we're going to DTD every other day for a while anyway but think technically we're in the TTW?

HRHXO · 31/03/2021 19:17

@Kat668 hi! Ha ha we wanted to avoid a Christmas baby too, my fiance is 21 December birthday so it's already a lot!

As soon as AF comes and goes we are going to actively try but I'm a bit nervous because I've been on the pill for literally half my life! X

Annannanna · 31/03/2021 19:44

If I get pregnant this month the due date it's 21st December, it would be a lovely little Christmas pressie!

@HRHXO Yeah already an expensive month for you then! 😂 I've been on the pill for 12 years so very close to you! I was scared too, haven't had a period all that time so was worried about having them again lol I hope AF comes on time so you can start your TTC journey ☺

HRHXO · 31/03/2021 20:22

@Kat668 exactly, very expensive!

I can't remember what my periods were like before the pill or even what I am like! I wonder whether coming off now will help with my anxiety, spots, weight etc as well my periods! Effects so much. I'm actually excited to find out and excited to start TTC.

Is anyone else first time, never been pregnant and absolutely terrified but also excited? X

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 02/04/2021 07:46

Its my second we're trying for, but still very excited to get pregnant again, I loved it so much last time!!

Thats me on CD2 I think, so let see how this month goes. I'm not wanting to track ovulation and pee on sticks every day as I know it'll take over my life, if it doesn't happen after a few months I'll give it a go, fingers crossed for everyone!

85gems · 03/04/2021 20:15

Hi everyone, hope all is well with you all? So I'm on cd20 & everything seems pretty normal with the exception of feeling a little nauseous at times. Trying not to symptom spot but it can be very difficult not too. Definitely going to wait till AF is nearly due before testing. Will probably test on Thurday(hate getting hope's up too early).
Good luck too everyone ttc this month. Fingers crossed for you all. X

1sttime21 · 04/04/2021 07:52

Finally back in the 2ww so thought I would jump on this bandwagon

1sttime21 · 04/04/2021 08:15

Is this looking normal for a bbt chart and is the ovulation day correct? Never done temp chart before

Hi 1sttime it’s difficult to tell, because need three high temperatures after ovulation to confirm ovulation. But the spike looks really good

ohhisammi · 05/04/2021 10:14

Hi Everyone 🥰
I hope you don't mind me jumping over from the March TTC Bus.

This is Cycle #2 for me after having my Copper Coil removed the end of February 2021.

AF showed up yesterday (1 day late) which was a little upsetting as I was super positive for last month.

We'll be TTC again from April 12th
My Cycle is 27/28 days.

I'm 30 and this is our first time TTC.

Does anyone have any TTC tips ?
Currently I ...
• Take Prenatal Vitamins
• Track my cycle and symptoms

Sending positive thoughts and baby dust to everyone for this month. ♥️

Lalala1985 · 05/04/2021 10:43

@1sttime21 it looks normal to me, but I think ovulation doesn't get confirmed until you have 3 higher temps. But so far it looks good.
I find it difficult to pinpoint the exact ovulation day with BBT charts as I've seen it can vary and it seems to vary between apps using the same temps.
I'm using BBT with OPK's so I know it happened between the peak OPK and the rise, which so far has given me a 3 day window.

1sttime21 · 05/04/2021 12:34

@Lalala1985 it has raised again today so it's looking good😊

1sttime21 · 09/04/2021 11:17

Anyone else 6dpo? I'm going insane in the tww already

Annannanna · 09/04/2021 11:42

I'm 11dpo but spotting so think it's game over for me this month 😢. Good luck anyone still waiting for their bfp xx

@Cakelaur congratulations! Amazing news a wee Christmas baby😊

Cakelaur · 09/04/2021 14:52

I woke up at 5am cos my baby woke (I have a 1yr old) and thought is bite the bullet. Assumed I was out cos I had my usual spotting at 7dpo.
But it all stopped and tingly boobs. Had suspicions yesterday... but it was babies 1st birthday, so wanted to have a drink with family without them knowing.
Was too scared to poas.. but cracked this morning and then woke DH. He's thrilled! 🥰 our final baby! I plan to enjoy this one!! 🤞🏻

Here's my chart for those of you who are temping. (I know I love a good study of a bfp chart)

Enjoy a happy healthy 9 months!! Xx

Frankie2015 · 09/04/2021 16:34

Can I join? 6dpo and on cycle 6+, 2 chemicals!! Trying not to symptom spot or by tests until at least 14dpo! 🤦🏼‍♀️ addicted to poas and driving myself crazy!!

Cakelaur · 09/04/2021 20:03

Thanks everyone!! Yup! A Christmas baby!! Due 20th December. It's the same due date my 2year old had! 🙈 he was two weeks early!!

sophielouise4 · 09/04/2021 20:43

Hi ladies, can I join too?. 32 years old and first cycle TTC, it was all a bit spur of the moment and unplanned but coincidentally the mood caught us in my fertile window so now waiting until AF is due next weekend to test.
I’ve got some FRER tests from Amazon 😁 If I get a BFP my due date would also be Christmas Day!!
Sending baby dust to us all 😃
