Anyone want to join? I'm 34 and TTC #1. 2DPO and managed to only DTD twice as we were travelling for our honeymoon. Only using OPK's at the moment but may start temping in the next few months if no luck.

Hope you don't mind me joining too. First month trying using opks we started last month but I wasn't tracking anything so had hoped it would just be bam and that was it but nope af showed up so here we are this month. I'm currently leading up to ovulation and been using opks (feel like start a beginning as I have no clue) they were 39% this morning so will do another soon it's been rising these last few days.

@sarahtom23 hey 👋 I'm thinking I'm chatting to you on the other thread 😂

sarahtom23 · 18/09/2021 17:18

@holz92 oh yes we were hope your okay

CrazyCatLady75340 · 18/09/2021 17:19

@sarahtom23 that's so frustrating. I'm glad to hear you've at least got going with it, but don't lose hope. I have my fingers crossed for you that it'll happen naturally in the interim.

Hi @holz92. Are you getting on it now in the event you find your peak in the next few days? But yes, I know what you mean. I was using them before I started trying in an attempt to get my head round it all. Good luck for the process!

@CrazyCatLady75340 thank you I really hope so I'm hoping that it will just happen and then we can forget this pass two years covid and ttc not fun

holz92 · 18/09/2021 18:34

@CrazyCatLady75340 yeah we have the last few days on and off already have today 😂 will definitely be a lot more now we're on the lead up to it. Just trying to under the opks and how it all works didn't think ttc was so hard to understand.

@sarahtom23 I'm doing good thank you for sharing me that group I joined last night and got some answers to the opk questions

If anyone else wants to join @sarahtom23 shared this ttc group with me it's small and private so no one can see you in it the other ladies seem friendly

sarahtom23 · 18/09/2021 18:49

@holz92 I'm so glad I really hope your journey into ttc is a good one and that you get that bfp soon. Best of luck trying these next week days have you done and opk tonight ?

CrazyCatLady75340 · 19/09/2021 00:24

@sarahtom23 @holz92 thanks both. If I join the group will this be public to any friends I have on Facebook, or be hidden from them too?

OP posts:
sarahtom23 · 19/09/2021 09:36

@CrazyCatLady75340 it's privates so no one me can see on your profile that you've joined. I asked the same thing as I don't want anyone seeing that where trying. Only people in the group can see who's in there.

makemeamuma · 19/09/2021 09:51

Can I join you ladies ? First month ttc here as well. Currently 4dpo so just waiting a few more days before I do any testing. How is everyone? Where are you all at in you cycles.

@sarahtom23 @holz92 would I be okay to join that Facebook group too please

@makemeamuma of course I'm sure your okay to join

@CrazyCatLady75340 like Sarah said completely private I got my husband to check as I joined it he could see if I was in it as were only just starting so I don't want anyone to know that we're trying.

makemeamuma · 19/09/2021 10:29

Thank you I just did x

sarahtom23 · 19/09/2021 11:09

Anytime x

CrazyCatLady75340 · 19/09/2021 11:35

Thanks both, I've joined.

@makemeamuma yes no problem. Good luck in your TTC journey! I'm 9 DPO and I've had the odd symptom (which is no doubt in my head!). Had this stabbing pain in my lower abdomen yesterday which literally stopped me in my tracks. First month TTC so I'd be very surprised if anything came of it.

@CrazyCatLady75340 that's great 😁 are you planning on testing or going to wait it out ?

Peonies94 · 19/09/2021 13:20

Cycle 1 ttc 1, only a few days into the cycle so not ovulating yet. Going to use ovulation sticks and try this for a few months. If we have no success we are going to try the SMEP in a few months. Good luck everyone.

CrazyCatLady75340 · 19/09/2021 13:24

@Peonies94 good luck to you too! Yes, I'm the same. Will you our game soon if nothing but I was going to read up on temping next month if no luck with the sticks.

@sarahtom23 I was planning to test on Tuesday at 11 DPO as that's when tests will be delivered. I can't keep them in the house otherwise I'll just waste money I'm sure 😂 what about you?

OP posts:
holz92 · 19/09/2021 14:59

Just done a test and it's 85% and say peak think I've ovulate tomorrow maybe I've had lots of ewcm come in.

CrazyCatLady75340 · 19/09/2021 15:05

@holz92 that looks promising. Keep testing until you see it drop and continue to DTD 👍🏻

OP posts:
sarahtom23 · 19/09/2021 15:07

I agree with @CrazyCatLady75340 that's looking very positive test a bit longer and definitely dtd

holz92 · 19/09/2021 15:11

Thanks ladies I'll do another test tonight and more tomorrow to see how they go.

BeatAroundTheBush · 22/09/2021 20:13

Hi, hope you're all having a good week!

No real update here, still testing and DTD every few days 😂 how's everyone else doing?

CrazyCatLady75340 · 22/09/2021 20:24
