Hi, I'm looking for buddies who have just started, or are about to start their TTC journey. I am TTC number 2. Stopped my pill around a month ago. Ideally want to conceive in the new year, but took a long time to fall pregnant with my first. So currently not trying too hard, but not preventing either. Would be nice to hear about other people's stories too 😊

I would say you are very near your peak maybe today youll ovulate no harm in DTD and keep testing.

AF cane on wed so ya never know i could have an extra xmas pressie, heres hoping!!!

Sagittarius25 · 14/12/2022 09:00

Yes I would also say you're very close.

AF arrived today so second cycle off the pill 38 days and first was 27 days 😂 but this time it arrived roughly two weeks after I was pretty sure I ovulated (not using OPK's) so at least that is the right sort of length for luteal phase. Fertile window predicted over Xmas (for a regular cycle) 🤞🏼

Thanks @LittleWings22 and @Sagittarius25 yes think that must have been it yesterday as barely a whisper of a line today!

@LittleWings22 fingers crossed for you!

@Sagittarius25 i also had a really long cycle after iud removal and now seems back to normal again. Good luck 🤞🏻😊

Hi all, how is everyone? A few of us had similar times cycles so I’m guessing coming to the end of another TWW?

We managed to DTD a few times this cycle and I’m 13 DPO now. AF due on Thursday and I have none of the usual feelings of cramping and bloating when she’s coming. Might just be my cycle settling down after Implant removal in October but I’m feeling optimistic! Not going to test, just waiting to see!

Sagittarius25 · 03/01/2023 13:32

Fingers crossed for you @RPH92 !

Last cycle was 38 days so that puts this period due 12th Jan. first month we have proper gone for it, still not tracking ovulation or anything just been DTD every 2-3 days or so, we will see! Won't be testing unless period is late (but after a long 38 day cycle last month it could be 'late' and still mean nothing 😂)

LittleWings22 · 06/01/2023 19:48

My cycles are all over the show atm too!!!

But today ive had egg white like discharge (sorry!) so thinking im around ovulating so fingers crossed

RPH92 · 07/01/2023 17:55

I got my BFP yesterday. Came so clear and so quickly, the only test I’ve done this month! Wishing you ladies lots of luck and love x

Sagittarius25 · 07/01/2023 17:58

Congrats @RPH92 ! Did you have any symptoms before your BFP? X

RPH92 · 07/01/2023 18:10

My period was late and instead of intense cramping I had a more frequent pulling sensation. Like it didn’t feel like I was due on soon. Hard to explain!

LittleWings22 · 16/01/2023 00:00

Massive congrats !!!!

overgrowngrass · 17/01/2023 20:14

Congratulations @RPH92 🤩

My cycles seem to have settled into a 23 day cycle which is joyful (not!) but at least means less time to wait before trying again. I think it’s going to be a long haul for us.

How’s everyone else faring? @Sagittarius25 @LittleWings22 @Skyla01

Sagittarius25 · 17/01/2023 20:17

@overgrowngrass currently on CD35 of third cycle off pill and we have gone for it this month, last cycle ended up being 38 days so think if my period comes soon I'm settling into longer cycles for now 🙄😂 I did test a few days ago and BFN, testing again tomorrow just in case as monitoring until AF but to be honest don't think it will be positive.

Run down at the moment too with a horrid sore throat which don't know if it's turning into a cold ☹️

Sagittarius25 · 18/01/2023 13:58

AF arrived today and although officially means we didn't conceive this month, I'm a little happy as cycles are getting to a more normal length. Last cycle now officially 35 days, which has come down from 38 days the cycle before 👍🏼

WideOpenSpaces · 18/01/2023 14:14

So I got my BFP on 3rd Jan and now 6.4 weeks. All a bit quick really not quite for my head around it yet !

LittleWings22 · 19/01/2023 14:29

Im still waiting atm my app says AF is due in 8 days but ill give it an extra week before testing (if i can help it!) ive been a little different this month only small things but im not sure it if is something or my mind messing with me.

LittleWings22 · 30/01/2023 13:38

Well im out AF arrived this morning. Hows is everyone?

mummytoemilia · 30/01/2023 13:41

Hi everyone! Currently 5DPO 🤞🏼 just waiting on that day I can test & see a positive xx

LittleWings22 · 13/03/2023 17:05

How is everyone?? My cycles are currently all over the place so im not even sure what stage im at atm

SillyOldBear3 · 13/03/2023 18:03

@LittleWings22 I got my BFP! Currently approaching 9 weeks! Wishing you all lots of luck ❤️

Skyla01 · 13/03/2023 20:56

Didn't realise this thread was still going!

I kinda gave up actively trying at first because after stopping the pill my cycle went AWOL. Finally got a period after 3 months so we could start trying. Got my bfp last week! Really surprised as I still didn't think my cycle had settled properly. Took us 5.5months from stopping my pill so much quicker than last time. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly from here but still early days.

Congratulations to those with bfps. And to those without - keep trying and stay patient. It's hard not to stress about TTC, but your bfp will come.

Massive congrats to you both!!!

Im currently feeling quite sick and ive cramps, slightly to the right is quite sore when i move. Think on thursday i will be on CD21 so ill prob leave it until next weekend to see what happens before testing (i did test last night but was neg)

So fingers crossed. My husband is going for a little op on the 30th and will be out of action for 4 weeks so if this month isnt lucky then it will be may before we try again.
