@excited101

I am hopefully testing soon, I would normally get some spotting 3ish days before my period so I might take a first response next Thursday/Friday if no spotting by then 😬 (period due Sunday)

Thanks for the sympathy!

@amber17 getting exciting now!

@fouroclock good luck, keep us posted!

Have we had any BFPs on the thread yet?

@FourOclock fingers crossed for you! Keep us posted!

@LucyLoopyLu not sure we have, looking forward to the first one...

Keeping all my fingers crossed @FourOclock

Thank you I don't feel like this is our month but no way to know really! Will wait and see!

Although I have had to really concentrate to not throw up this morning... But I think I've said before, with previous pregnancies I had no symptoms at all, pregnancy or PMT wise the two times I was actually pregnant. (I get terrible PMT)
And I've had tender boobs since a few days after ovulation which is why I'm sceptical

@FourOclock
With both of my pregnancies I didn't have any symptoms until around 6 weeks. I just felt like my period was coming both times. Nature is a joker!

I think I'm technically in the two week wait now depending on which app I use.

Morning all, just checking in as I’ve not been on the thread recently. How’s everyone doing? @WingingIt09 great news about AF!

I’m due to ovulate any day now, CD17 but still flashing smileys. I’m going to be extremely busy I’ve the next few weeks so hoping I won’t be tempted to test like last month during the TWW!

Welcome to all the new members, can’t wait to see some BFP’s

@OCM19 thanks! That's exciting that you're almost at ovulation, get DTD! Hopefully your plans the next few weeks will keep you from testing too early xx

Hi everyone! First post here, so apologies I don't know all the acronyms etc. I'd love to join this group, I feel like DH and I are going in full of excitement but with very little knowledge

DH and I are both 29, been married 5 years, and decided to start ttc this month, although I think we missed the fertile window in Feb, according to the apps (which do you all use, if any?). So this month has very likely not happened! I've been taking the prenatal vitamins for the last 2 weeks as well :)

The kinda scary part of the journey for us at the moment is that both sets of parents live 500 miles away, at the opposite end of the UK, so we're going to have to figure a lot out!

Anyway love to meet you all!

Hello @TheOnlyException1! I'm using the Flo app. Exciting for you!

@FourOclock thanks! That's the one I've started using, not sure how accurate it is for me just yet!

Not sure whether to keep ttc next cycle, as it would mean a due date of a week before Christmas, but DH is very much in the what's meant to happen will happen mindset, and I think we're unlikely to get lucky first month of trying anyway! But it would make life a bit more complicated! Is everyone else carrying on or avoiding a Christmas due date?

Hope everyone's doing well tried your catch up on this thread but I've not been on in a while as I've not been well! Let's hope for our first BFP on this thread in March 🤞🤞

We are carrying on regardless. Already have one DC with a birthday within 2 weeks of Christmas, and another 2 weeks after that. We might stop trying to avoid a July/August birthday if it comes to that but to be honest if I'm not pregnant by then I probably won't want to skip a few months trying!

Welcome @TheOnlyException1 I use Fertility Friend and always been pretty happy with it.

@lj2022 I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you are feeling better now?

@TheOnlyException1 I’m avoiding my next cycle as the due date would be a week or so after Christmas and tbh December is already crazy enough with birthdays so I’d really rather wait. I know the chances of getting pregnant the first cycle are slim but if we were to try it would probably end up happening that month! Haha

I've got Covid now. I wonder if it will interfere with this cycle? I suppose I just have to wait and see.

I conceived after 4 months with first DC and first cycle with second. I also had a chemical at Christmas so who knows! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Welcome @TheOnlyException1. We had this discussion about December and not sure tbh.

I’m really not sure what’s going on this cycle, I’m CD19 tomorrow and have been getting flashing smilies since CD14 but no ovulation yet. Last cycle I ovulated on CD18 and only had a 28 days cycle so I’m thinking this one may be a little longer?

What’s the latest you’ve ovulated? I have a feeling we will be out this month as I’ve totally mis-judged my fertile window i think! Xx

@DanceWithYourBalloon oh no sorry to hear that. How are you feeling? Xx

@FourOclock Wow, busy time of year for you already then! Must be a lot of fun though keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

Honestly I think I will just be grateful if it happens any time.. I've had an unfounded anxiety for the longest time that things are going to be difficult, but I'm getting the impression that seems to be a fairly normal worry! Just want to get on with trying now we've decided to take the plunge!

@WingingIt09 thank you! I'll look that one up ☺️

@tryingtryinggone fair enough, you're probably right - it would be likely be typical like that!

@WingingIt09 getting there got some more tests to get as I have low blood platelets and need to find out what's causing it. Hopefully nothing serious and I can get back to TTC. Most likely anaemia going by my symptoms but won't know for sure until the end of the week. Thanks for your kind message xx

We certainly do! But it's also our quietest time on the farm so it's nice to be able to have some decent family time around all the special occasions

Having period type cramps today I'm not due on until Sunday so it is a bit early for me to be getting cramps but I'd almost just rather know now if my period is coming!

@lj2022 glad they're investigating and hopefully some answers for you by the end of the week so you can get things sorted!

@FourOclock hopefully not AF and instead a positive sign? I definitely had cramps with previous pregnancies but PMS/pregnancy symptoms are so alike 🙈

How soon can I take a first response?! 😂
