Hi 👋 I'm CD3 of cycle #5, TTC #1 - AF has pretty much finished now, a short almost 3 days instead of 5 but I'll take it. Ovulation was 3 days late last month so I had a slightly longer cycle than usual, we DTD from CD8 and then everyday in the FW so I suppose that's kind of like the SMEP. I'm feeling like this month I need to change something but I'm unsure what. I've been using OPKs for the last 3 cycles. I thought about BBT but I wake up at different times during the week so that's out. I'm not overweight but I could probably change my diet and exercise more (although both are almost impossible with my working hours). Does anybody suggest anything to try next? I was thinking about getting a blood test too just incase I have deficiencies 💖

@dunkedbiscuit I am 1 DPO today (after putting a low LH test into my app and date change). I have a super busy week so I am hoping that will distract me 😅 good luck to you xx

Sooo looking forward to this month! Cycle day 3 and feeling optimistic. Got my clearblue monitor, thermometer to do bbt and someone mentioned the smep which were going to give a go. Anyone else done this? Xx

Hi all,

Can I join please? I always see these and then get too shy to join in Blush

My DH and I are TTC baby #1 after some horrible setbacks, including an ectopic two years ago which put me off even wanting to try - I was so scared.

Anyway, we have decided it’s probably about time! I’m not getting any younger and so here we are.

My app says ovulation today but I think it was Saturday. We DTD all weekend anyway just in case Grin

Lovely to meet you all and sending lots of positive vibes!

Can I join? I’m hoping for baby number 3 and this is cycle number 2 of trying.

It’s 1dpo here and I’m already getting impatient! I also don’t know how I feel about this cycle. I almost didn’t try because conceiving would put the babies due date the same week as my eldest birthday. I would have always wondered if this would have been the month though.
I have my fingers crossed for everyone!

DreadedTWW · 03/05/2021 12:39

@ProbablyAboutTime @WeCameToDance looks like we are all around about the same time in terms of DPO. Wish you both the best of luck this month. Sending baby dust your way xx

@dunkedbiscuit it's so hard not to go loopy in the TWW isn't it! I thought I'd be much more chilled this time round (have 6yo DS already) but nope, just as hard second time round!! Actually maybe harder, thought I knew what I was doing and think maybe had convinced myself it would be quicker this time. Have lost 4 stone since my last pregnancy and now have much more regular cycles. Never as easy as we want or think it's going to be though 😂 Sending everyone lots of baby dust for this month!

Hi ladies! Hope you don't mind me joining!

On Cycle 2 after a mmc in January, bled for 2 months which was not pleasant! On CD12 now but still getting low on OPK..my cycle is usually 28/29 days so would this be normal? I'm new to the OPKs but want to make sure I'm not missing optimum days to BD!

Baby dust and fingers crossed for us all!Star

Sorry to hear about your loss @Twinkles18 , your cycle is maybe still sorting itself out but I don't tend to see a peak until CD 13 / 14 but I think later than this is very normal too!

So sorry to hear about your mmc earlier in the year. If it helps for comparison, I normally have a 26/27 day cycle and get a high OPK reading between CD11-13 then peak CD14/15. Been using clear blue OPK for 7 months now and tends to stay pretty consistent (apart from one random month!). Sending you baby dust!! x

Hi everyone, I was briefly in the April bus. Ttc #1, cycle 2 now. I’m on cycle day 10 and my Clear Blue opk was negative this morning (24/25 day cycle). Will have to keep trying to BD this week! Hope DP isn’t tired out yet 😂


Good luck to all :)

Hi everyone!
TTC #1 - Cycle 10 - Month 9. I'm currently 13DPO, but I know AF is on her way - just feel headachey, tired - the usual symptoms. I'm 33 and DH is 29.
I know I'm still in the normal timeframe, but starting to get a little worried. Just passed April which would have been when bb was due from Cycle #1 - that was hard :(
Good luck everyone xx

@JeanieJ It's so hard not to worry but the more I hear the more I think it really does just take much longer than any of us expect it for the majority. We were just a month off trying for a year with #1, I'd convinced myself it was never going to happen. Hoping for a quicker result this time round but realistically think it will still take a while. Can totally see why April felt hard for you, sending hugs and loads of luck for you le journey x

@ohsohopeful thanks for your kind words, it actually made me feel a bit better.
Think I'm feeling extra gloomy as AF is on her way & makes me extra emosh.
Want her to hurry up so I can just move onto next cycle and start again!
It's both DH & my birthdays this month, so maybe we'll have a lucky month 🤞

@Twinkles18 sorry to hear about your mmc!

Well I think I ovulated early this month around day 11 as now my OPKS are showing little to no reading after a nearly positive Which is odd! Don't normally ovulate until day 14/15 Will keep testing just incase though 🤷‍♀️

Lots of baby dancing though so fingers crossed... maybe I am in now actually in my 2WW! As AF is due 2 weeks today xx
