TTC Feb 2023

[ukMummyof1]

Can't find a thread for this but I'm TTC #2. In on CD1 as AF arrived this morning... feel free to join this thread xxx

Hey, I'm out month too...Trying to conceive baby #1. Fingers crossed for the next one 🤞🏼

Definitely! Do you test for ovulation? Xx

Hi hope it’s ok to join this thread..I am also trying to conceive. Will be pregnancy no4 as unfortunately had 1 ectopic and a tfmr last august but in between the two have had a little girl who is now almost 2.
my hubby works away a fair amount which adds another layer to TTC. Anyway I am CD 26 today and taken a FRER, I see a faint line but not sure if this is indent or evap line? I think I am about 11/12dpo but I didn’t actually get a definitive OPK and then I ran out…not wanting to get hopes up but will attach test pic x

@fayerl hey and yes of course! I can def see a line forming! Sorry about your losses.. I also had an ectopic and had surgery to remove my right tube 1st August. Did you have the surgery and If so how long did it take for you to conceive after it? Maybe test again in the morning xx

sorry to hear about your loss also😢
I didn’t have surgery the pregnancy miscarried naturally but both pregnancies since were from my right ovary (ectopic was left) so I’m not sure if there’s damage now which means I don’t ovulate from that side anymore! Just a hunch nothing confirmed.
we got pregnant about 2 months after the ectopic and last pregnancy also got pregnant straight away so I am finding myself very anxious now as we’ve been trying for a few months.
I deffo see a line but I’ve heard from a few people that the first response can show an indent…I might try and hold off until the weekend and see if AF arrives if not then will test again!

I'm not sure if that's the same with me. My son was conceived from my left and my right was ectopic and no longer have a tube but my right ovary is polycyclic but apparently eggs from the side with no tube can actually move across to the other tube but I'm not having much luck at the moment. Hopefully this is it for you- I've got fingers crossed! Let me know how the testing goes xx I'm only CD2 and think I ovulate on CD16 so a little way to go but I'll update when the time finally comes🙈

So strange how it all works isn’t it!
well I am trying not to lose hope yet but after seeing a few negatives now I’m not so sure…will keep updated and I hope your next cycle is the one 🤞🏼

Have you got any pics? When is AF due? It's so hard to know sometimes especially when you are sooo wanting to see something!! Xx

No I tested earlier in cycle and got negative but it was probably way too early anyway! AF due Saturday but my cycles do vary between 28- 33 days so I’m not 100% but I do think this one is shorter because ovulation was earlier. Had some light crampy feeling yesterday so who knows !

Possibly... I was testing for ovulation a few months ago but have now got an idea about when I ovulate so going to just watch out for EWCM I think. I know some people do the temp checks as well but I think that would drive me crazy with constantly checking😂 I'm already a pain when it comes to testing and holding off😂

Hey, hope you don't mind me joining the thread feel like i need some TTC buddies! I'm TTC baby #1, had a MC @ 8/9 weeks in June 22 and was just using flo app hoping something would happen by now but hasn't! This month is first time tracking ovulation with CBD + Premom ovulation strips and i am currently 5DPO overthinking absolutely everything! Fingers crossed for us all xx

UPDATE… BFP 🥹🌈
been feeling super off the last few days but held out to test until this evening! Hoping our rainbow is here to stay !

Congratulations @fayerl 🥺❤️👶🏼

@fayerl Congratulations!! What an amazing feeling😍

Thanks for your messages I honestly couldn’t believe it! Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Hi can I join?
TTC #2, baby girl is 2.5 years old now. I got pregnant very easily with her and have been ready for #2 for a year but husband wanted to wait until end of 2022....got to nov 22 and didn't ovulate....didn't ovulate dec either....so skipped 2 periods and FINALLY got my period on Tues so I'm day 5 today. Never skipped periods before and I'm totally crazy so had a load of bloods done, some were abnormal so now convinced myself I have no eggs left and im perimenopausal at 34 lol.
Have a private consultation on Thurs with an ultrasound etc to check what's going on. But have felt really relaxed being on period after 2 months of anxiety, so going to try to just enjoy TTC this month and BD every other day or every 3 days from today and hope that my body is back to normal. Still worried though. I had day 3 bloods done on Thurs so they'll be back in time for my scan.

@1greentea hi, yes of course! I'm only one day ahead of you in the cycle so hopefully can relate. Have you periods always been regular and did you test for ovulation in the past? I also fell pregnant easily with #1! May be worth speaking to a go about ovulating if not, I'm sure there are tablets you can take to trigger ovulation... keep us updated! I think I'm coming off my period today and am on day 7 and usually ovulate on day 16 so fingers crossed that this is 'the' month🙈 I've got my fingers crossed for us all xxx

@ukMummyof1
Oh great we're a day apart!
My periods are mostly regular but I do have the odd one that's out a bit. Are yours?
I didn't test for ovulation with my girl, we just decided to start and happened to have timed perfectly with ovulation, only had sex once. How old is your little one?
So GPs aren't very good at that stuff I don't think, I have an appointment with a fertility consultant on Thursday so will let you know, I'll be day 10 so hopefully will be able to tell me if I'm going to ovulate.

Im a midwife so have a few gynae consultants I get advice from too which is a perk of the job x

Hi, coming over from the January thread as AF arrived in full force with an awful migraine yesterday 😫
On CD 2, Cycle 4 of TTc for #2, DD was 2 in September and took a while for us to conceive her so trying (& failing) to stay calm and expect to be in for the long haul!
I have had awful PMS since having DD and have been thoroughly investigated with scans and blood tests but all came back 'normal' so im trying to live as clean as possible to help my symptoms and our chances!
Fingers crossed February is our lucky month ladies!

Oh wow that's amazing with your daughter! My son is nearly a year but with PCOS and currently under a gynaecologist for getting diagnosed for endo and also recently having an ectopic pregnancy and unfortunately only being left with 1 tube I've understood that it could take some time. Surprisingly though despite all of that my periods are very regular so hoping that will work in my favour.
That's also brilliant (and so handy) being a midwife with all the professional help around you! Definitely let me know how Thursday goes- fingers crossed you'll be just about to ovulate! Xx

@TunnocksTCake oh no! I was the exact same with coming from the other thread! Thats awful with your periods since your daughter :( I completely sympathise with you.. do you test for ovulation? I'm not sure if I'm going to this month m I didn't last month but have on past months so know roughly when I do ovulate but joining new threads everything is super draining😩

Hi All, can I join? Currently ttc our first on cd11 of cycle 2.. I didn't get a leak on opks last month so not sure if I actually ovulated or whether the cheapie tests weren't that good!

Hello! I'm TTC too! Currently 5DPO waiting for 9DPO to test🤞🏼

Have you done anymore test?🤞🏼

Hello everyone! Count me in please. Stopped taking the pill just after DC1 turned 2 a couple of months ago. Had a chemical pregnancy this month, so onwards and upwards for February! I can’t temp as my sleep is so disturbed by my existing child… and I’m not sure ovulation testing would be good for me mentally. So I’m going by the calendar and crossing fingers! It’ll be nice to share the journey with people.
