Ovulation/TTC continued

[newtolineofduty]

@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @hoola23 @MrsRosaline @plantbasedlondoner @LittleDoveLove thought I'd best start a new thread before it stops letting us post given we're almost at 1k! 🥰 x

Have I forgotten anyone!? X

@newtolineofduty ah congrats! is this your first? wishing you all the best😊xx

@Aims1991 it's been a few months this time round but just starting to do things more seriously now with the OPK's & things

@hoola23 ohh I'm so sorry, so emotional but hoping you get your sticky BFP soon, & take reassurance in the fact it can happen🤞🏼

@hoola23 no way am I going anywhere x if I disappear it'll be temporary and driven by anxiety!

@lionsmum it's my second! How about you? X

@newtolineofduty that's so lovely! What are is your LO? This will be our 3rd, but our first died neonatally in 2019❤️‍🩹 so this will be our 2nd living, if we get the chance to bring another home💫

@newtolineofduty sorry I meant age*xx

@lionsmum so sorry to hear about your first, that must have been heartbreaking 💔

@lionsmum sorry to hear about your first. How old is your second?

@lionsmum I'm so sorry to hear that. I can't imagine a pain like it x you're amazing to survive that x my little girl is almost 3 and I have two step children who are 7 and 9 who are here half the week so we must be mad! 😂 x I just love being a mummy! X

@hoola23 thank you so much, it was, still battling through it all but will be for a lifetime x

@MrsRosaline thank you, he's 11 months!

@newtolineofduty thank you so much, honestly neither can I, a lot of days I feel it happened to someone else... sometimes it feels like yesterday & sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago. That's so sweet, how do you think your little girl will take to being a big sister? So exciting😊 when roughly is your due date?x

I can't imagine @lionsmum x honestly you're wonderwoman-to have to keep going for another child too-so hard! My friend works in neonates and I don't know how she does it, so to be personally affected I just can't imagine. It's a huge fear of mine.

My DD adores her older siblings and really misses them when they're not here so I think she'll love having a sibling here all the time and I think she'll LOVE a baby!!!! Xxx

@lionsmum lovely to have you on this thread and so sorry to hear about your loss in 2019 💔 thank you for sharing with us. I've been trying since June officially as DH finally got on board in June.

@newtolineofduty @hoola23 thank you for the wishes, means a lot...I'm crossing everything too even though I know I ovulated super late this month and that I'm in real danger of getting overexcited. This is more like a two and a half week wait than the TWW 😬

I have got to find more ways to relax this month and make sleep more of a priority! It's a mission to DTD and get enough sleep I think 😅

AF showed up... Gutted! Worst end to a holiday ever as now regretting not drinking 🤣 this cycle was 32 days and the last one was 25 days so I'm going to give OPKs a miss and just try BDing as much as I can or as @hoola23 says "manic baby making" !

@plantbasedlondoner aw that's gutting. I hate the feeling the first day of AF when you know you have to start over.

@plantbasedlondoner oh no!! Sorry hun, that's so rubbish! Well, join me @Aims1991 @MrsRosaline @CShandy01 for some manic baby making this month🤣

Sorry to hear about AF @plantbasedlondoner. I always find the second or third day easier as you start looking forward and thinking about trying again.

I'm now on CD24 and I'm really looking forward to my period just arriving. I'm certain the pregnacare is messing with things too, so I didn't bother taking them this morning. I'll just stick to folic acid and vitamin d, which I never had a problem with before. I reckon if I ovulate over the next few days my period will come around CD39 😱 Which will be around halloween.

@hoola23 I reckon I'll be doing some MBM middle of November!

@newtolineofduty thank you, you have no option but just to keep on living. It is such a difficult place, but filled with so much love too, the care we got was amazing & the nurses really went above & beyond, I'll never forget them. That's so lovely about your DD, she will be super excited🤗

@plantbasedlondoner thank you so much for the welcome, sorry I know I let it all out so quickly but when I'm asked how many kids I have I never want to not acknowledge my boy❤️‍🩹 sorry to hear about AF showing! My cycles are a bit like your sometimes, very unpredictable! Lots of luck for this month!

@MrsRosaline I found that too with the pregnacare, messed things up quite a bit

Well I normally OV day 13/14 which is when me and the OH are off work for a week so I'm so happy about that! But it does mean I will be obsessed with testing rather than just waiting to I get home from work

Do you take anything else now @lionsmum ? I was worried because of my vegan diet, so wanted to take a multivitamin but I can't be ovulating this late every month!

What OPKs does everyone use? I normally use easy @ home but Amazon don't have them to order

@Aims1991 femometer are really good cheap ones. You can download the app that reads them through your camera and gives you a percentage of how high the levels are

@MrsRosaline not at the moment, but when I was TTC #2 I took high dose vit C & a vitamin B complex, which I'll probably get back to taking. Two things I did try also which I think helped a lot were 'preseed' and the ferti-lily from boots, the latter is a bit of an investment but we conceived the first month using it! Of course could be down to so many other things, but I'm convinced it helped🤷🏼‍♀️x

Ah yes I used conceive plus with DD. @lionsmum I used it the first few cycles this time around but as it obviously didn't work this time I stopped!

@MrsRosaline oh I took ultra omega-3 too, which I've started taking again😊 yeah it's a bit... messy? if you feel it's not working for you! Are you using OPK's to look out for ov? Hope it happens soon!
