Updated list ladies - hope it's right, it's getting difficult to keep track these days!!

I used Femometer as well, however I relied on opks and cm to tell me when I’m ovulating as no all seemed to be accurate (I don’t ovulate the same day each month).

@WingingIt09 that is a long list!
i am now pregnant due 31/1/23. Currently feeling the vertigo 🤢

None not no all 🙄

@Cherrymarket all changed. Vertigo.. how lovely 🤢

I am 6dpo and both yesterday and today have been feeling nauseous in the evenings. Feels like it's too early for symptoms though?

I'm so excited to have moved to the pregnant list! Estimated due date at the moment is 29/1/23 ☺️

@WingingIt09 thanks for adding me to the updated list!

So it's first month properly TTC no 2 for us. Very anxious. Took so long last time so don't know how I feel about the possibility of it taking ages again. Anyway, in the TWW now! Don't know if I want it to happen quickly, or fir it to take a while to let c section heal further. Exciting times ahead though!

@DesertSnow I use natural cycles and Premom. I prefer the simplicity of natural cycles but have started using Premom for OPKs they both seem very accurate. Premom showing I ovulated a day later than natural cycles but it is my first month using Premom so it doesn't know my cycles as well yet

@DesertSnow I use premom and femometer, just the free versions. They have my ovulation way out but then updates itself pretty well when I add in opks.

Im bored 🤣 cd15 currently and jot due to ovulate until at least 20/21, I just want to get on with it!

Well AF has finally turned up a day late 🙃 those out of date tests have swiftly gone in the bin as the avaps were ridiculous. Going to use OPKs this month so fingers crossed. Time seems to go so slowly when you’re ttc

@tryingtryinggone ahh no 😪 it definitely goes slowly doesn't it!

I know getting lucky first month is unlikely but if we did I'd find out around father's day which would be nice! Anyone due on around then?

Hey all,
I'm really struggling, been trying for a baby for over a year and had 2 miscarriages. Currently in the two week wait again and it's taking a toll on me. Its quite a lonely thing really as you can't talk to friends and family too much about it as when you do get pregnant you want it to be this lovely surprise. Hoping I can make some connections here with people that understand xx

@SylvieArth I am so sorry to hear you are struggling I can imagine what you're going through! I think you'd be surprised at how much support you could find in confiding to your friends but I'm sure you'll find some comfort on Mumsnet too. Hope you don't mind me asking is your GP investigating anything for you?

My family know we are trying but I don't want to constantly talk to them about how much I'm wanting this, or talking to them about every 2ww if you get me.. I just think I'll find most comfort here. I'm currently being monitored by GP as I have stage 3 endometriosis as well. We're going to try 2 more months naturally before we take some next steps I think xx thank you so much for replying to me xx

@SylvieArth I'm so sorry you're going through this. I can only imagine what it's like for you. I hope we can be helpful xx

@SylvieArth sorry to hear you're having such a tough time. I know there are lots of lovely people on here and you're certainly not alone. It's nice to know there are other people out there going through the same thing. It's such an odd time I think because on the one hand it's so important personally to be TTC, can be exciting and also devastating but you can't always get support from your nearest and dearest because we have this veil of secrecy surrounding it usually.

@tryingtryinggone sorry to hear about AF. Hope you're ok and doing something nice for yourself this weekend

@LucyLoopyLu @Dreamingof3 thank you so much for the support. This is the first time I've posted on these boards but I've been reading every thread possible for the last year searching for positive stories each month or for people that are going through the same. I'm really grateful that you've welcomed me! Sending the biggest love and luck to you xx

Thanks everyone for sharing which apps you're using - I might try a few of those.

Definitely agree on the time going slowly - though we're waiting until September to try, so it's a different sort of wait for us.

@tryingtryinggone I'm sorry - fingers crossed for you next cycle.

@SylvieArth Welcome! I've not long joined, but everyone's been so lovely and helpful with advice. I'm sorry to hear you're struggling, hopefully talking to people in a similar boat can be helpful for you.

@tryingtryinggone ah sorry to hear they were evaps after all!

@SylvieArth sorry to hear you've been struggling with your journey - these boards are so supportive it's lovely!

Thanks so much guys, I already feel better having spoken out on here now. In my year of trying I've been a lurker on these boards hoping to find people in similar circumstances.
Currently CD16 3DPO.. I'll keep you all updated xx

Welcome @SylvieArth

I am 8DPO today and the urge to POAS this morning was real 🙈 trying to hold off until 10/11dpo but not sure how that will go...

Ah a few more newbies, welcome and good luck it seems to be a bit of a lucky thread from what I can tell!

Congratulations @Dreamingof3 , also congratulations to the BFP's @Nyxxie @Cherrymarket and no doubt the others I have missed from skimming the pages of the thread I was trying to catch up on.

@WingingIt09 oh the urge to POAS around 8dpo is real isn't it. Sometimes I use an OPK just to get rid of the urge.

I'm either 2/3 or 4 DPO one of my apps changed my ovulation day by 2 days this morning for some reason and the other has stayed the same right in between those days so I'm going with that I'm 3dpo as it's right in the middle. Got a busy week ahead to keep me busy which is good

So I AF should have been here according to the apps ovulation etc. not even any spotting. Had a few days of waves of nausea so did a few wondfo’s and nothing conclusive.

Have attached this mornings FRER… and the useless wondfo

Looks like I need to skip straight to the pregnant list please @WingingIt09 🙈, just slightly ahead of schedule. Only panicking a small amount! Due date approx 6/2/23 which funnily enough I think was my dd’s due date. So much for timing it so they don’t both have similar birthdays!

@HippeePrincess thanks and congratulations to you as well! That's a great line 🥰

Congratulations @HippeePrincess ! 🎉 It’s almost June now anyway!
At least you can do a big birthday present shopping search at the same time? 🥲 How old is your DD?
