TTC April baby ☀️🌼🌿🌧🐣

[BiscuitLover3678]

Let’s go go go!

This will be cycle 9 🙄

I'd love to join, finding it all quite hard at the moment and this feels like a lovely community to be a part of.

Welcome to the new people! @Maxime34 so sorry you're finding things hard right now. For me at least I find I fluctuate between really down and really optimistic, so I hope that in a few days you'll feel more positive. How long have you been TTC?

@calipoppy thank you, I know that it will really help being with others that totally get the feelings that come with TTC. So we started trying for #2 at the start of the year which isn't that long but I've had two miscarriages in that time which has really shaken me as we were very lucky with our first and I'd never had a MC before. i've had some bloods done recently so waiting for those results and have been put on progesterone so it's my first month trying with that. I know what you mean about ups and downs, I do try and stay positive as much as I can and feel so so lucky to have a baby already, I guess I just didn't see this coming so it's really thrown me. How about you?

Thank you @AprilMayAnne thats helpful regarding thyroid function.

Went out today and bought evening primrose oil and starflower oil so taking them alongside my pregnacare conception supplements now, hoping they help things! As a side note- does anyone else taking the pregnacare conception tablets hate the smell/taste?? Seems to smell like beef hula hoops! Reminds me of dog food 🤢

@Maxime34 so sorry about your losses ❤️ I'm glad the doctor is looking into things for you. I also am TTC number 2 and had a late loss in April due to discovery of a fatal abnomality. I know what you mean, it's made my DD seem even more precious. Hopefully we will both have more luck soon!

@CinderellaFant I'm not taking pregnacare but I've tried so many and they all seem to smell revolting!!

big welcome to all the new ladies 💖
fingers crossed and baby dust to everyone, let’s hope this is a good cycle for us all ✨ xx

@CinderellaFant I can't take pregnacare tablets, they're just too big and I struggle taking tablets! Ended up buying lots of different ones individually 🙄 including starflower now, thanks for the tip @calipoppy!

@Maxime34 sorry to hear about your miscarriages 😔 it's s really good you've got progesterone support and they're doing some blood tests.

🤞 For everyone that this is our month 🥳

@RugbyGirl1 i also take lots of individual to get bigger doses as the standard mixes often don’t have enough, mainly when TTC.

I’ve got some starflower oil 1000mg today, that’s now 6 tablets 😂😂

❤️ Welcome! It’s such a journey isn’t it.

Hi all,
I'd love to join this thread too.
Cycle #3 TTC #2 after MC in March. I'm 2DPO today so would love some company for the TWW- I find it so hard. Going to attempt to wait until at least 12 DPO to test this month. Anyone else in the TWW?

@Cegbee hello! I am also just starting my TWW, cycle 2, TTC baby #1! I’m 1DPO today and feeling this is going to be the longest 2 weeks!!

@LauraA31 Hi! Nice to have a TWW buddy! I wish I could just carry in as normal and wait for my period to start (or not) but since my MC I've been hyper-anxious about conceiving again. Really hope its first-time's a charm for you!

@LauraA31 I've just read your post again and it's cycle 2 for you, sorry, I'm an idiot

Oh I hope the starflower works for all of you, it'll feel so great to have helped if it does!! I'm due to O tomorrow, not sure whether to do opks as I got so stressed by getting a positive late last month! What's everyone else doing?

@Cegbee I'm not tracking because I get ovulation pains but I think I'm about 2/3 dpo

@calipoppy I'm using the opks. Started tracking yesterday and according to my app I'm due to ovulate on Saturday

@calipoppy i use OPK as my Ov differs between CD11-CD15. I guess if you have sex frequently throughout the cycle it doesn’t really matter, but we don’t… I’m too bloody tired 😂😂 with two young kids. So I know when FW usually is around but it just gives me a bit more focus. Plus, I love POAS 😬

CD3 today, I expect to O around 20/21st July. I’m away 24-31 July so should be fairly occupied during TWW

also started starflower oil today 😊

Also hoping this is our month. Cycle 5. Had a early miscarriage in April. Feeling very low as all of my friends are now pregnant or have babies. I am the only one in my friendship group who doesn't. So disheartening

Bertie, I hope you’re okay - your time will come ♥️

Cycle day 4 here, bleeding is drying up now, I’m going to try very hard to chill out this cycle as I have a feeling stress contributed to my wonky short last cycle. Started with a trip to out of hours at 2am last night though as Dd had a poorly eye so there’s only so much I can control!

i need to have a few dry runs with my fertilily cup, so bracing myself to try it in a couple of days. I don’t use tampons and I’ve never put anything ‘up there’ in terms of moon cups etc so hoping it’s not too uncomfortable.

good luck everyone and I hope you are enjoying this glorious sunshine.

Hi ladies. Can I join you? This will be cycle 8 for us, TTC #1... losing hope tbh... trying to be positive but it's just so hard at the minute

Afternoon everybody!

I am 1DPO today and I am so emotional- just to be clear i don’t for one second think it’s pregnancy related haha!
But is it normal to be super emotional after ovulation?

I cried because the dog wanted to go into the garden and it was too hot and I felt bad telling her no! i cried because the washing wasn’t as dry as I wanted it to be after my other load was finished in the washer…. I even cried because I want the boyfriend to come home so I can make tea……. Strange ha!
im now sat amazed with how emotional I have been 😂

I do get emotional at points of the month, but this has been the first month tracking ovulation and my peak was three days again now. So for the first time I’ve been aware of the hormones etc in my body.
I know this is possibly normal, but because im now aware thought id see if anybody else has these post ovulation dips in mood? 🙂

Random question, but which day in your cycle do you all normally ovulate ?
I’m currently on CD8 x

@NSx cycle day 17 for me, then a shortish 10 day luteal phase so it's never a 2WW!

@NSx anywhere between CD 11-15 and my luteal phase is 12days. So cycle varies between 23-27days
