April 2021 TTC - let's chat :)

[Mumofboys20122017]

Hi everyone! We are currently trying for baby #3 This is cycle 2 and CD5. Period last week was shorter and lighter than normal, really confused me as its never been like that, did 2 tests but both BFN so trying again this month :) Not putting too much pressure on it, just going with the flow and if it happens it happens, trying not to stress too much about it 🙈 anyone else TTC this month? Hoping I can chat in here with people doing the same ❤

@Mumofboys20122017 same here - some time sorting the garden, an egg hunt and bit of chill time 🥰

@tuxedocat thanks! I think I might be mad so assume that’s what others will think ;) awesome news for you. I’ve never used those, might give it a try!

@Onehotmess haha maybe so but what’s life without being little hectic!

This is my first time using OPK’s and I’ve found it so interesting - my cycle last month was 30 days ish so I was expecting a few days til
Ovulation but I think my cycle is shorter this month so I’m glad I’ve done it - clear blue is super easy, but I will continue with the cheap OPK’s to make sure I don’t miss another surge 😊

Hi @Onehotmess sorry missed your post yesterday!! I'm also TTC #3! No judgement in here 🤗 i also have a DS age 9 and a DS 4 next month, and have decided we want #3 lol

I'm currently CD13 did an OPK this morning and its been the darkest its been yet from the whole 4 I've done 😂 logged it in the app and its saying its high and its also predicted my ovulation day to he today so DTD this morning and will check it again later too 🙈 didn't fully read up on or look in to OPKs but bought some out of curiosity and taking it chill this month and if I need to, will look into it all properly for the next cycle!

Good luck TTC #3 and lots of baby dust your way ❤

@Mumofboys20122017 wow, definitely in the same boat then 😂 I’m rubbish at being chill! I think I’ll get some of the clear blue for next month and the cheapies and see how I go. Last 2 were conceived first try but obviously I was a bit younger then so I’m TRYING not to get my hopes up! Baby dust to you too. ❤️

Hi Ladies, i’d Like to join too as this topic matches my actions if you know what mean 😂.
TTC number 2, so let’s see how it goes this month. Haven’t used ovulation sticks yet, but if nothing happens this month, I might consider buying them.

Hi @GingerFox2021 👋 how old is your first? X

Does everyone DTD every day on fertile window or every other day?! Thinking I need a day off 😂😂

Hi @Onehotmess ! My little one will be 2 in May. This month/cycle we DTD every other day, cause I am not using sticks or basal temperature, so don’t want to loose a chance. I am not very sure when I ovulate, so just guess at this stage.

Hello! Maybe I am in the wrong group, but we are TTC#1, and just had my Chemical pregnancy/miscarriage on Friday 4 days ago. I am on my period now. How soon after can we TTC? Hoping for some advice from anyone who knows anything. I am 31 but totally clueless.

@Onehotmess aw after a negative last month I thought there was no way I could be chill this month, but I've surprised myself 😂 was a bit at the start but have relaxed now lol hopefully you won't need opk next month! But if you do amazon is great 😂 thank you ❤ also we DTD every other day cause were just knackered with work and 2 kids 😂😂

Hi @GingerFox2021 ☺ sending baby dust your way ❤

Hi @IrishMaa ☺ I'm so sorry to hear that 😔 I hope you're ok ❤ I don't have much advice as I'm not too sure, but I think if you are ready to you could get pregnant after your period during your fertile days, but I'm not sure if there is a certain amount of time you should wait after a miscarriage or anything, so sorry 😞 ❤ sending lots of baby dust to you!

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. ♥️

Hi @ohhisammi 👋

Of course! The more the merrier! Aw the dreaded AF, so upsetting when it shows up 😪 sending lots of baby dust for this next cycle! Seems like you're doing the right stuff :) I've been tracking my cycle on 3 different apps 😅 2 are showing the same ovulation days and one is a few days out so just DTD every other day around when it said I was fertile. Only used a few OPKs this month out of curiosity and got a high day and its came back down now but I think if I've no luck this month, I will properly use OPKs next month so that's another thing to use if you want to get into that :)

I’m about 2dpo - having some low cramps, nothing crazy but similar to AF. Anyone had this after ovulation?

@tuxedocat I've not had it, but then again I've never watched out for it or remember noticing it? Surely a good sign though? 🙊

@tuxedocat

Yes I’ve had that but sadly both when it turned out I was pregnant and when I wasn’t so not much help from me! X

Hi ladies, hope I'm okay to join?
Currently on CD 11, the last 3m I've had 26 day cycles, so I'm due to O on the 7th.
I was came off the mini pill last August and it took until January for my cycles to regulate. This month I decided to download femometer and bought the bbt and lh strips, so this is new to me 🙈😅 and I feel like I'm learning all over again.
Looking for a little clarity on what my bbt chart should be before/after O or is everyone's different? So strange that when we're younger it's "don't do this or you'll get pregnant!" Then when we're older we realise it's actually not as simple as just having unprotected sex lol

@Mumofboys20122017 me either! I hope so 🤞🏻

@Onehotmess thank you! Haha thank you anyway. Don’t think I’ve ever had it before, deffo not last cycle. 🤞🏻

@Dreamer30 hey 👋 of course 🙂 I've never tracked BBT so completely unsure on that one! Lol omg I know! Little did we know how complicated it could actually be TTC! Lots of baby dust your way ❤

@tuxedocat keep us updated if you have anymore symptoms ❤

I 100% KNEW when I was pregnant with my 2nd. I have no idea why! I just felt different. Most likely all in my head but I was convinced I ‘recognised the feeling’ I suppose we can drive our selves mad with symptom spotting f but it’s nice to look back and the think maybe I wasn’t mad 🤣🤣 my app says I ovulated today but I feel like I ‘felt’ it happen yesterday. Just tiny crampy feeling, limitless bloating and tender breasts, but so minor if I wasn’t checking I wouldn’t have really noticed.

That should have said ‘a little bloating!’ 😂😂

@onehotmess
I was exactly the same with my DD, she's almost 12 now lol but I remember being 1 day late for my period and I just knew I was pregnant! I just had a feeling. I'm hoping it's the same this time round but then last month I had every symptom and was convinced I was preg then AF arrived!

How crazy @Dreamer30 @Onehotmess! I deffo think I felt ovulation this cycle. Just a little pop in my lower left side. Time will tell, I forget how much the 2ww draaaaags!

I feel like I 100% knew with my second too!! Had no symptoms of AF coming and I just felt different too! Kept telling my partner I'm pregnant and he was saying I wasn't AF would come and I waited until I was 5 days late and the pee barely touched the test and it was positive 😂😂 although last month I would have swore i was pregnant again but of course AF showed up and now I don't even know what I was thinking 😂 one app is telling me I'm 3DPO and the other 2 apps are saying 2DPO so who knows 😂 ill properly test next month if I need too :) how is everyone else getting on?

I took an OPk yesterday just out of curiosity and the line was really faint so according to the instructions that’s negative. I’m sure I already ovulated so that matches up. Was just checking i wasn’t ovulating late! Or I’m just obsessed with POAS! So I’m in the 2WW now! I think hubby will be glad of the rest 😬
