TTC Support Group - all welcome to join!

[Peauela]

Hi all!

So I've recently started a new cycle and am currently on CD9 - it would be lovely to have a group of people to talk to on here so if anyone would like to join to share your stories and this journey with others, please feel free to join! 🍀❤️ All are welcome, no matter what stage of TTC you're at :)

I'll start with a short introduction - I'm 28, hubby is 35 and we're trying for our first baby :) We've tried for 2 cycles without any tracking and last month I started ovulation tracking, unfortunately was not successful. Hoping I'll get my BFP soon! This month I started tracking my BBT so we'll see if that helps in any way! :)

@GingerbreadTM hope you're joining soon 😄

@Peauela hello!
Would love to join.
I'm 31 and my partner is 35. This is cycle 3 for us trying for baby number 1! I'm tracking ovulation and also BBT. Not too hopeful this month as OH hurt his bad just around the time I ovulated so DTD was out on hold!

Can I join?!

I’m 30 TTC baby number 2, on cycle 10 now which honestly is a bit depressing. Been using OPKs for 8 of those months but got to keep trying.

@RAP08 @Teacaketotty hey! Welcome! The more the merrier 😄🍀

@Peauela thank you for tagging me 💜

CD7 for me & month 11 😩

I have had a busy few days with work and spending precious time with nieces and nephews sorry I'm only getting to reply!

I'm feeling quite deflated since my AF finished on Friday 🥺 but there's a lot of buzz about here with my sister in law getting her sweep tomorrow so maybe that's why I'm feeling the way I am (also green with envy) 🙈

I going to try and dtd every day/night this month because if I do get my BFP my due month would be my birthday month 🤣

@Peauela how are you finding tracking your BBT??xx

@GingerbreadTM ahhh sounds like a nice weekend but I absolutely get how you're feeling! I really hope this is your month ❤️ wouldn't that be the best bday present ever 🤞🏻🍀

Struggling a bit with BBT here to be honest because it jumps so much I feel like I'm doing something wrong 😂 we'll see what it looks like closer to ovu, I'm CD10 today but usually ovulate around CD17 so still have time to master it 😂 I also had to go on antibiotics due to some stomach pain which is radiating to my back, Dr thinks it may be a kidney infection so hopefully the meds will help 🙏🏻 It's only 5 days so I hope it won't interfere with my cycle 😅

@Peauela isn't it crazy how meds and vaccines mess with our cycles 😣 I got the 2nd Pfizer vaccine a week past on Friday so that may be a problem for me this month 😩 I have read that some people don't ovulate their next cycle, but we'll see what happens.

Getting ready to head out for dinner and a bit of shopping with the other half after a lazy morning ☺️

Let's hope we are both singing about our BFP soon 🤞🏼🍀🧡xx

@GingerbreadTM vaccine had to effect on my cycle whatsoever but I heard stories where it did!

Enjoy your evening ❤️🍀

@Peauela I'm hoping for the same as my AF arrived in the Monday after the jab.

I hope you'd a lovely weekend and get the hang of the BBT keep us posted xxx

Can I join? 🤩 I am 28 and TTC our 1st baby. Been trying a little while now... just over the the year mark. My initial blood tests have suggested a hormone imbalance so I've got a private consultation in a few weeks time!

Didn't track this month due to impending insanity 🤣 but I'm CD27 of a normally CD31 cycle.

@xoJellyBean hey! Welcome :) Fingers crossed for some good news soon! Are you planning to test?🍀

@Peauela no I don't think so 🥲 i don't believe I can get pregnant on my own with the way my hormones are! 😶 hoping to see some bfps on this thread x

@xoJellyBean you never know! But in that case, I will keep my fingers crossed for some answers at your doctors appointment in those few weeks 🤗

I'm 1dpo now and so the TWW begins!!everything crossed for bfps on this thread!

Hi 👋

I'd like to join. We started trying for #1 back in June and got a BFP our first cycle. Unfortunately, we had a mc at 6 weeks. We just started trying again so I suppose we could say we are on cycle 2 now.

CD13 today and I got a peak this morning which is a bit earlier than it has been, usually around CD16. We have been trying SMEP this time round. I have feeling it's not going to happen for us as quickly as last time but who knows!

Fingers crossed for us all!! 🤞🤞🤞

@RAP08 TWW is the worst!!! Welcome and fingers crossed for you ❤️🍀

@cocoforbes I'm sorry to hear about your loss... 😔 hope you get your beautiful rainbow baby soon 🌈❤️🍀

Morning all, OK if I join you?
I am 38 and ttc baby #1.
Came of the pill in August, and started tracking ovulation in September. Thought I had got lucky first time round but af arrived today, boo hiss.
So this will be our 2nd full cycle, already learnt so much from mn so hoping to go into this cycle with a little more Insight and little less of an obsession with poas!!

Hello, can I join too please?
I'm 29, TTC #1. CD1 () of cycle 5 and trying to stay hopeful! Have been using CB ovulation tests, seem to have a pretty predictable cycle of 26/27 days with ovulation on day 14/15. Tried SMEP for the first time last cycle and will probably do the same again. Thinking of trying conceive plus too...
Fingers crossed for everyone 🤞♥️

Hello, can I join too, I'm 34 and partner is the same. ttc baby number 2, took 18 months and half of my sanity for baby no 1. He's 10 months now so trying again. On first cycle and cd23. BD on days 13, 16 and 18. 31 days cycle. only weird thing was ewcm continued for days after ovulation but opks were coming back negative

Hello all! Yay so happy to see so many new faces 🤩

@MegAnne83 hope it's a lucky cycle and we'll see a lot of BFP by the end of the year 😃

@dory0 welcome! Hope this is your cycle ❤️ we are trying SMEP this month too but not too strictly, I mean if we don't get to BD one time I don't want to be overly sad about it 😂 so taking it easy 🤞🏻

@roro87 ahh already in your TWW so! Exciting 🤩 can't wait for some good news then shortly 🤞🏻🍀

Thanks @Peauela hope we both get our babies soon! ❤️

When is everyone planning on testing this time round? I'm going to try really hard to wait until AF is due but I won't be surprise if I cave early! I got my last BFP at 11dpo so that makes it even more tempting! 😬

@cocoforbes I'll be testing on Tuesday the 26th by then I'll be due my period or else 2 days off it depending when I ovulated

@cocoforbes not gonna lie last cycle I tested way too early and way too often so this time I will try to wait until at least 12DPO 😅 not gonna be easy!

It's so hard not to test a lot and early! Maybe we can keep each other strong!

@roro87 I think that is really good to think of the date instead of just counting the CDs or DPOs. I'm gonna try that this time. My testing date is 2nd Nov 😊

How is everyone doing? ☺️

It's day 4/5 on antibiotics for me and the pain in my back/side/upper tummy is only getting worse so I don't think it's an infection... might have to go for a scan, definitely going back to the doctor before the weekend.

Hope you are doing better than me 😅

@Peauela sorry to hear you are still in pain and the antibiotics haven't helped. Must be hard to have an uncertain health thing as well since ttc is also such an uncertain time. Hope you get to the bottom of it soon❤️

I'm ok thanks. I think I'm 1DPO today so officially in tww. Trying not to symptom spot but it's really hard! Got some very watery cm today and started googling about that 🤦‍♀️ I know it's too early for anything but I just can't help doing it anyway!
