@Floralsandsmiles thats so sweet!! My DH thinks in insane.

Ive told him he needs to get his strength up for this cycle and forced him to the gym as I’ve read it can improve testosterone haha

Haha my DH puts up with the crazy and loves it as he knows it means I'm all in on the plan. If I wasn't reacting like this, he would know I wasn't all in. Lol he is taking lots of supplements like me too, to increase our odds 😅 😄 xxxx

Hello girls , can I join ? Currently ttc dc2 , this is our cycle 6 since mc last year august… so far without luck . Hopefully this is our month. Currently around 5-7dpo , cycles are a bit longer some months then others.
I’ve been trying not to symptom spot but it’s hard specially when I’ve had the worst heartburn today and some cramping.. ( I’m not even sure if it’s heartburn for sure as I never had one not even in my first pregnancy) . Hopefully it’s a good sign. I usually never get any symptoms really before my period. So would be interesting to see if it means anything. Anyone else experienced anything like this , so early ?x

Going to join this one! I'm CD9 TTC#1 second cycle. Going to be doing the SMEM this month and going to use pre-seed as I'm sure last month I didn't have any ewcm but to be honest I was new to all of this and didn't know I needed to look out for that 😅

Babydustthisyear · 21/02/2023 07:42

Hey Ladies, I would like to join, 4DPO and this is our second cycle ttc I use clear blue ovulation tests (not the flashing ones) just the 2day advanced ones. We also have used the SMEM this month, from using the SMEM I have realised that last month we didn't DTD enough or at the right times so I'm hopeful this month. Trying not to symptom spot and not testing until AF is two days late (I say this now 😅) but I know how hard it is lol.

How is everyone else doing in the TWW?

EllieBelly93 · 21/02/2023 11:47

Hi ladies, I love this thread we've got going on! How are you all getting on and feeling? I am on cycle day 15 currently and still testing with the clearblue digital ovulation tests every morning and on day 3 of flashing smilies. Started SMEP on cycle day 8 fingers crossed and praying this is the lucky month for us all xx

Hi all! I’m CD9 so have started tracking ovulation with OPKs. Praying this is the cycle! Cycle 3 of TTC ✨🫶🏻

Mumofone2 · 21/02/2023 15:12

Hi ladies, I hope you dont mind if I join. Cycle 1 ttc# 2 for me #1 for dh. I'm cd14, I have irregular cycles, normally long cycles but can vary massively. I'm so afraid that will affect us on out journey. I'm so nervous it wont happen for us I'm afraid to even speak to family and friends about it. I love the support on here ❤ baby dust to everyone.

My AF arrived on time today despite faint line on frer this morn. Crying all morning, going to have to pick myself up and start all over again. Cycle 5 now.

@Ella31 sending you hugs ❤️ Please stop using FRER the amount of lines I had it’s unbelievable it’s just makes life harder after as I was 100% sure I’m pregnant as well. Don’t be upset, look after yourself, try to relax and it will happen very very soon 🥰

So sorry Ella, look after yourself. Lots of chocolate and selfcare! Xxx

Mushroo · 22/02/2023 11:46

@madeofcodes hi! I remember you from the last thread, hope it’s a lucky month!

Im killing time waiting for AF to disappear. Torn between just DTD every other day, or actually using OPKs.

Does anyone have a view either way on which is best?

TTC090 · 22/02/2023 12:17

Can I join? :) CD6 for me today! This months strategy is SMEP and DTD every 2 days in between. Need to muster up the energy 🤣
sending baby dust and luck to all

madeofcodes · 22/02/2023 12:51

@Chip131 I'll attach a test I've just done for comparison. Don't forget everyone is different! Just keep testing 🫶

@Mushroo hey! I'm glad AF showed up for you! I'm currently DTD every 2 days until I peak and then I think it's 2-3 days in a row, miss a day and go again. We'll see how that goes this month.

Mushroo · 22/02/2023 13:01

@madeofcodes thank you! My cycle was 37 days in the end which is unheard of for me so hoping this one is back to normal!

Your plan sounds good! My other aim this month is no excessive googling 😂
