TTC APRIL

[RMS0209]

Hi!
Making a thread looking for some company/support
I'm currently going into cycle 4, trying to conceive baby 1.
Looking for others in similar situation.
Beginning to feel a bit deflated now, as I am sure many many others are too.
Trying some things different this cycle to hopefully get a BFP
•ordered an Ovusense core
•carrying on with my reflexology weekly
•Trying the SMEP method
•Hot water bottle after ovulation as I read someone else done on here
•carrying on with my supplements

Any other advice/recommendations/suggestions welcome

May April be the months of lots of BFP's 🌟.x

@Hello47 how long did it take for your periods to settle after the vaccine?

@MrsGrealish oh no.. stay safe don't catch it. Eeeeee.

Covid messed up my ovulation and my periods for just that 1 month, but now I get AF 6 days and 2 days spotting so it's a long 8 days 🙂

Purple sounds like a good idea! To be honest that's what I am swaying more towards
Haha yes if that was the reasoning I go with purple too!
Going to be nice to OH tonight since it'll all be about me mid next week 😂 bye bye old swimmers 🤞🏻 (gosh never thought iD be broadcasting that on the internet!😬)
I've seen a few people use it and I know somebody that used it last cycle and has fallen so I hope we do too x

@RMS0209 😂😂 omg 'the being nice to OH" and the 'bye bye old swimmers' was me 3 days ago 😂

Sorry @MO22 thought I tagged you below duuuuuuh

Hahah! It lasts today and today only hope he makes the most of it!! X

@RMS0209 @MrsGrealish part of me was like, do I need to participate for the old swimmers bit, or have you got that covered Hun?

@MO22 😂 unfortunately it was part of the 'deal' I made with him for being totally available all fertile week 😅
Though like @RMS0209 says a one time thing...it's my time now 😊

@MO22 @MrsGrealish the things we do! 😂
X

CD2 here, feeling SO OPTIMISTIC you guys. loving to see all your OPK progressions, praying I can share good looking ones soon too. glad you're all having fun bidding old swimmers farewell lol

@MrsUSAinUK loving the optimism! ❤️
i had a thought earlier on was being a negative Nancy now back to positive Polly 😬 hoping this is our month ladies x

@MO22 and @QueenBee22 covid didn’t delay things for long only one month and my period was 2 days late. So really minimal changes but so frustrating at the time! Don’t worry too much

@RMS0209 and @MrsGrealish ha you guys! Old swimmers out 🤣

@MrsUSAinUK love the good and positive vibes!

Morning ladies!

Well... somebody fell asleep last night before the swimmers had time to "escape" and it wasn't me.. ha ha, tonight then!

CD6 for me today, not much to report.. hopefully AF is on her last day (had enough of her)
How are you all today?

@RMS0209 morning!

Ha oh we’ve all been there 🤣 managed to dtd yesterday. OPKs are definitely on the up so go again tonight and tomorrow then it’s the TWW! ah.

Hope AF ends for you soon!

@Hello47 one minute awake... next minute big Z's.. I thought OH.. ok then haha.

Aw brilliant! What CD are you today?
Crossing everything for you for a quick TWW!

Morning everyone! Hope you all had a lovely weekend xx

@babyjellyfish good luck with the ultrasound tomorrow, let us know how you get on.

@RMS0209 love how the web is such an easy space for oversharing 🤣 I must admit had the same thought on Sat though so played the good wife card haha

@Longbin I'm so sorry you're feeling down, how long have you been TTC for? Sorry if it's already been mentioned. My first response is definitely do not give up, but at the same time if it's affecting your mental health that's really not good either. How are you feeling about it all today?

@Hello47 good luck!!

@MrsGrealish oh gosh I'm sorry about your daughter getting Covid, you really are going through it recently!!

I'm CD9 today, day 2 of flashing smiles so think it's going to be another long stint of them like last month... only good thing is I'm a 'morning person' so less likely to throw them and scream when they keep flashing than if I were taking them in the eve 🤣

Monday again!

@alwaysseeingstars so funny isnt it.. thank goodness for usernames and secrecy haha.
Good on you! I'll do the same tonight, going to make a nice tea too.. doesn't realise how lucky he is haha.

Yay to the flashy faces! I'm a morning person too! what day did you peak last month?

@RMS0209 ah yours is luckier than mine, he just got normal grub 🤣 although did bake his fave lemon tart yesterday so just slightly delayed!!

Oh I just love the mornings, I feel so much more productive! And clearly I'm getting old as getting a wash done and hung up before work is such a good start to a day 🤣 oh dear.

It was CD20 last month, after 9 days of flashing... I hope it's slightly earlier this month which would make it a bit more 'normal'

Hope AF finishes for you today

Excited to join! TTC #1... Currently on CD7 and ovulate around CD13...
I hope some people get BFPs this month! I have my fingers crossed for everyone.

@pocketbunny fingers crossed for you too! Are you just starting TTC or been trying for a while?

@alwaysseeingstars I had lemon drizzle cake - great minds think alike

Grrr that is a fair few smiles, here was me feeling bad with my 5 days of them in jan haha.
Well long as you are dancing every few days woo hoo.

Thanks hope she goes too!

@pocketbunny hi welcome this groups been great so far, keeping me cool & calm... ive not started trying for this month yet so we will see if im still the same in a few days ha ha.
Tell us your story x

Greetings from the pharmacy,

@RMS0209 he fell ASLEEP?? Did he know what was on offer ?!

@alwaysseeingstars she was bound to get it eventually but she's coping well so far xx

CD12 for me and we DTD CD10 and 11. I've an OPK stashed to take at lunchtime so see what the levels look like

@pocketbunny welcome!!

@MrsGrealish hello hellooo

Well I will let him off... he didn't I was just being nice and didn't share what was going on in my head (my TTC calendar) ha ha

Well done DTDing, keep us updated. hopefully 3rd time lucky tonight for you.

Todays weird and wonderful question... has any of you used the fertilily cup? I bought it in Jan but its still all in the packaging.. trying to decide if I should use it or not?!

@RMS0209 and @alwaysseeingstars

This is only cycle 2 for us but it's been eye opening. Ten years of always being super careful, thinking one slip up with protection and that will be it. What a joke! And I probably have endometriosis.. almost 2 decades of extreme period pain and severe symptoms like numb legs for day, blood clots and distended tummy. In my early 20's it was 25 days of pain a month..I hit my 30's a year ago and my cycle totally changed and my blood hasn't been normal since. So that scares me a lot. My Dr told me to save my Xmas money to pay for a private consult to try get diagnosed :( And I usually have 2 days of ovulation pain (so at least it should be easy to track that!) but last month was 5 days of pain. So already feel disappointed in my body and only just beginning this journey :(
I also bought elevit only to find out they have beef and pork gelatin and now I'm forcing myself to take them (even though I'm basically vegan) cos they cost so much money but I feel so sad about it so that's probably not helping
