Hi, can I join you? I am 5dpo today. We are officially only starting in March 22 but we kinda tried this months. We wanted to see what happend. However, if we are not successful then we wont be able to start til March due to travelling and not being with each other during fertile times.

Are you ttc your first? I have a 2 year old but had 3 miscarriages before I successfully had her. So, I am very nervous of going through it again but know it's going to be worth it.

Gemma3439 · 28/10/2021 14:30

Of course this will
Be my 2nd baby I have a 3 year old next Saturday. 3 years ago I got told I have pcos and would need Ivf to conceive. I then became really regualr with my periods and fell pregnant naturally. I still have regular periods but I ovulate late I got a positive on day 20

That's amazing that you could prove doctors wrong. Is that your first cycle ttc for baby 2? Did it take you long for your first one? How long are your cycles? Cycle day 20 is late to ovulate but I would not worry too much if you have at least 12 days between ovulation and start of your period.

Gemma3439 · 28/10/2021 15:14

I actually had sex twice after splitting up with my partner and became pregnant.

Yes this is first cycle and normally between 30/34 days

Oh wow, so you got super lucky straight away. Best of luck for another quick ttc journey for you.

Gemma3439 · 28/10/2021 15:43

I've just tested again for ovulation and negative so happy that I've actually ovulated when are you planning on testing

OP posts:
Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 16:57

That's brilliant. I am going to test from Monday onwards. I will only be 9dpo, so still early but thats when I got my bfp with my daughter. Til then I will be tempted to poas even earlier. Already want to test, crazy I know.
At what dpo are you planning on testing?

Gemma3439 · 28/10/2021 17:53

5th October day before my little girls birthday

It's driving me mad already and I am 1dpo you'll have to keep me updated with your symptoms

Hey! Can I join?
I think I'm in 2ww now (I've stopped all form of OPKs and just going by my apps as it was putting us under too much strain!)
Currently cycle #10 but trying since late Feb/early March (my cycles are anywhere between 23 and 26 days) plus had a few months where we didn't really try.
I'm either 2 or 3 dpo.
DTD 3 days before and day of predicted O so fingers crossed for us all this cycle!

Gemma3439 · 28/10/2021 18:56

Of course @moonpie32

Have you had any symptoms ?

OP posts:
moonpie32 · 28/10/2021 19:25

@Gemma3439 I've not had anything really. A few wee niggles on my left pelvic area and wind Blush but nothing worth noting!

I can't remember any symptoms with DC#1 until after I tested positive!

What about you?

Wackadoodle84 · 28/10/2021 19:26

I’ll join if that’s ok. Due to ovulate within the next 24-36 hours apparently! Ttc #3, cycle approx 20. Had trigger shot given today after 22mm follicle seen on scan so really hoping this is our month!

Gemma3439 · 28/10/2021 19:29

@moonpie32 no I do feel like period is going to come tho feel really heavy. I had very bad morning sickness with my first and also felt crampy when I was pregnant but always put that down to pcos I was 4 weeks when I found out

Welcome @Wackadoodle84

giftswap2020 · 28/10/2021 19:46

Please may I join?

I'm 7 dpo TTC #2

I've had no symptoms at all, when I usually have very sore boobs. Really hoping this is my month🤞🏻🤞🏻

Planning to test on Sunday if I can hold out that long.

moonpie32 · 28/10/2021 20:51

@Gemma3439 thing is period symptoms and pregnancy symptoms can be so alike! It's so cruel 😭

Hey @Wackadoodle84 that does sound very promising. Is this the first month of trigger shots etc?

Hi @giftswap2020 when is AF due?

Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 20:59

I am symptom spotting like mad but so far there is nothing. I already feel like I am out even so it's normal to not have any symptoms that early.

Gemma3439 · 28/10/2021 21:14

@moonpie32 I know :(

Welcome @giftswap2020

@giftswap2020 so strange. I’m 5 DPO and I normally get sore boobs immediately and not had them. I’m wondering if I haven’t ovulated though rather than it being a positive sign although I did a positive OPK. The TWW is too much!!

Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 21:20

@Hoping43 do you usually have regular periods? If so I wouldnt worry about not having ovulated. When will you test? Is this your first months of TTC?

Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 21:23

@giftswap2020 do you remember if you had any symptoms during your two with your first pregnancy? Have you been ttc baby 2 long?

Hoping43 · 28/10/2021 21:41

Hi! My periods are between 28-31 days. Is this classed as regular?! I have two children. One took a month to conceive, the second took eight months. I’m now on my seventh month of TTC my third and final baby. I have massive anxiety issues and just can’t help but worry that there’s a problem 😞. I just can’t cope very well with uncertainty and the unexplained I don’t think

Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 21:51

@Hoping43 that definitely sounds like a regular cycle. I think most of us who are ttc are anxious and worried about something not being right with every passing months that was unsuccessful. The fact that you have 2 kids already shows that your body knows what to do. Try not to worry too much (i know easier said then done). How old is your youngest?

Hoping43 · 28/10/2021 21:58

I had my youngest in August 2019 so he’s just over 2 and we started TTC again in April so when he was 20 months old. I found it tough last time. I think I naively went into it thinking it would take a month like it did with my first so I just completely worked myself up when it was taking longer. I thought I would be more chill this time but turns out that’s not the case at all 😳.

Sorry to read about your previous miscarriages. I hope you have an easier time this time around

Sunshine085 · 28/10/2021 22:05

@Hoping43 thank you, I hope so too.
Totally understand how you would have expected to get pregnant quickly again with your 2nd. Just the way I am expecting another miscarriage again (but hoping I will be proven wrong). I am with you on thinking that I would be more relaxed this time around but the second I was in my tww I wanted to start testing Hmm.

Hoping43 · 28/10/2021 22:16

@Sunshine085 how long did it take for you to conceive your first child?
