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 ❤

@Onehotmess hi !
Not yet for me, I'm a week or so behind you girls I think.
I've just entered my fertile window today (and ovulate Friday / Saturday) so Ive got a busy week ahead 😂

Good luck everyone !
Can't wait to start seeing everyone's results ♥️

@Milly238 how many DPO are you now? I think the days leading up to O doing it every other day is still a really good chance. I always try and do it every day or every other day in the lead up and then obviously on the day on. Since I got my peak today I'll see if DH is up for it tonight as well!

@Hxoxox ah okay I see. Yeah it could just take a while for things to settle back down. Or it could be lucky first time for you! 🤞🏼

@Milly238 in Jan we were casually trying, only have sex twice in fertile window and managed to get pregnant, but unfortunately that was a chemical. But just shows it can happen without doing it every day

@Hxoxox best of luck to you!

@Rudyroo definitely doesn’t hurt to do it again tonight! I’m 4dpo today so far too early to tell and I’m so impatient and worrying already. If I don’t get my BFP this cycle I’ll try to DTD on peak day as well next cycle but thank you so much for reassuring me that it can still happen. Sorry to hear about your chemical - you deserve all the luck this cycle!!

@Hxoxox you have my respect! I would have caved! Fingers crossed for you xx

@Milly238 I've a load of cheapies in too just incase I can't help myself 😂 we DTD every other day leading up to O and the day off! FX!!

@Hxoxox good on you waiting another day!! Like @Onehotmess I would have caved!! Good luck tomorrow ❤

@ohhisammi enjoy your week 🙊 and good luck!!

Thanks ladies! I normally would but feel like I’m getting my hopes up! Still getting weird cramps and now I have sore boobs so thinking just late AF...! I have severe anxiety!

@Hxoxox aw I know what you mean getting your hopes up! I really hope it isn't AF on the way for you but if it is were all here to support you and to try again on the next cycle 🙂❤

AF started very lightly today, 5DPO and 11 days early. No idea whats going on! But frustrated 😥

Hi all

New to mums net #ttc for our first baby and on #cycle5 now, AF showed her head Friday and I was convinced this was the month (like every month so was difficult Friday and Saturday, but feeling motivated today to get back to it this month!

Going to get back to the gym tomorrow and sort my eating out again! Also have purchased some pre seed and will be using my OPK's and using SMEP this month - so fingers crossed

@BethTTC could it be an implantation bleed maybe if its light?? Very frustrating when you don't know whats going on! Sending positive thoughts your way!!

@purpleskyssssss hey 👋 aw sorry to hear af showed! Hard not to feel gutted when it does, but glad you're feeling motivated for your next cycle! You're deffo prepared and doing all the right things! Sending lots of baby dust your way! Good luck ❤

@ohhisammi enjoy your weekend ;)
Best of luck for this cycle. I’m 6/7dpo and I’ve already done 2 tests 😂😂 I’m going to really try not to do any until Wednesday (that’s the best I can manage!) when I’ll be 8/9dpo and 6 days before my period is due x

Hi all,

So I had a solid smiley face 5/6th April. DTD quiet a few times during ovulation week. Hoping for that BFP soon! So I'm not entirely sure how many days past Ovulation. I think I might be #6. This is the first month I have used the Clear Blue digital tests so I'm praying.
I've had extremely sore boobs for atleast 3 days now. I even had to go get a new bra just for comfort. Small pains in my lower tummy every now and then but other then that, nothing else. I don't normally have period symptoms this early as it's still atleast 10/11 days till AF is meant to be here.
Baby Dust to everyone x

@Onehotmess I'm 8dpo and took one today as well 😂 not due af until Sunday, was a BFN which I was expecting anyway as it is a bit early so thankfully didn't make me too sad lol hoping it changes by the end of the week!! I say ill try to wait until at least Friday but that feels like months away so I could test again any day 😂❤

@Onehotmess
Fingers crossed for you !

I got my BFP...!!! I am absolutely over the moon!! But please tell me how I remain calm from now until scan?? I don’t have any symptoms I’m terrified this baby doesn’t stick how do you relax until scan? I used to be on anxiety meds but been off them for ages and feel my anxiety is going to be through the roof!!!

How is everyone else doing?

Hi everyone, finish up my period and waiting to start trying again! I'm trying for baby #1 and this will be month #2. Had a chemical this month but feeling okay. Not ready to give up and taking it as a good sign that we at least got a fertilized egg this first try! Hope everyone is doing well anyone started testing yet? Keep us updated I want to hear your success stories!

@IrishMaa I just had a chemical and from what I've read you can start trying as soon as your hcg levels are back to zero and some women are more fertile after so I'm hoping this month is my lucky month, hope the same for you!

@Mumofboys20122017 when do you think you will start testing before or after AF?

@Hxoxox congrats on your bfp!! Hoping I'll have some luck this month too 😬 feel like I'm constantly waiting for fertile window or to test. I know waiting for first scan is going to drive me.bonkers too! Maybe try to do some activities to keep your mind off but I know it must be hard! Good luck to you and your pregnancy 💕

@Puppymamababymama Thank you!! Good luck to you too! Let’s hope this is a baby boom for us all! :)

Whhooop! . Amazing! So pleased for you! I’m currently tapering off anxiety meds so I know what you mean! Positive vibes coming your way! 💖

@Hxoxox CONGRATULATIONS on your BFP!! so so pleased for you!! First one in our wee group! Fantastic!! Aw I know it's easier said than done when people say try not to stress, but just look after yourself and take it easy, time will fly by and before you know it your scan will be here! Keep us updated with how you're feeling :) xx

Hi @CrispyB 👋 hope this month is a lucky one for you! ❤ I'm the same as you, have had sore boobs for days now and some cramps but literally can't tell if it's AF or early symptoms 🙈 lots of baby dust your way!

@Puppymamababymama hi 👋 so sorry to hear of your chemical, hope you're ok ❤ lots of baby dust to you for your next cycle! I did a test on Monday, it was BFN but not due AF until Sunday so may just have been a bit too early, have sore boobs and some cramps but that could be either or 🙈 might do another tomorrow and if still BFN maybe just wait again until the weekend! Which will no doubt drag lol

@Onehotmess are you testing again tomorrow or holding off for another few days? X

I’ll be peeing on that stick the minute I wake up 😂😂 I feel like I have no self control whatsoever 😂 I don’t expect to see anything but I know I’ll be disappointed if I don’t as well I can’t win! I’ve got 3 of the cheaper version of frer ( so not as sensitive) so I think I’ll just do one weds, thurs & Friday and see what happens! Might splash out on a real FRER for Saturday 😱 x
