Im currently TTC #1 and taking a relaxed approach by not testing or symptom spotting. Im on CD13 so I am in my fertile window right now so DTD every other day. Does anyone else have the same cycle as me would like to chat, have some support, rant? Im here for you ❤️

@Enn1234 thank you! I did SMEP the month we conceived, but otherwise I was just really relaxed and drank a bit too much wine over the Easter weekend….

Hope it works out for you soon x

@Enn1234 sorry to hear that :(

I’m now 6 weeks (conceived over Easter!) but tbh I’m not enjoying it, I’m so anxious about it going wrong. Can’t wait until 12 weeks and I think I might relax then.

Congratulations!
So happy for you!
Hopefully it all be fine :)

How is everyone getting on?


No AF for me, but a BFN so still in limbo.. annoying as would have liked a glass of Prosecco with lunch!

Still not pregnant..
:(
How are you doing?

@RegardingPersephone oh how rubbish :( Least another cycle to start afresh.

Hen party’s can be tricky at the best of times! Good luck

@Mushroo so frustrating! I've just been to the loo and AF has arrived. Very down now and need to perk up for my friends hen do celebrations. Not feeling it!

Waiting for AF too and feeling a bit down! Thought I had a faint line two days ago but no other test has shown another that definite since... Just very faint shadows so assuming I'm just waiting for AF to arrive...

It’s so frustrating isn’t it? Feels like everyone I know if having kids as well.

It’s only cycle 2 for me so still early days, but just want it to happen now. DH is already starting to resent having to DTD on demand (as am a bit!) I might book a holiday or something next month to help.

@Mushroo @Enn1234 Blimey, that's crap if it's completely messed up your cycle. I've been taking pregnacare for a while and it regulated my periods, it use to vary between 24-33 days so now I'm heavily reliant on it making sure I take it everyday 😅 fingers crossed this is our month.

It may have been the pregnancy supplements
When I wasnt ttc my cycles were behaving but now im seriously ttc theyve decided to go haywire lol

Exactly the same! My cycle has been perfect for months and the first month trying went haywire. Took so many pregnancy tests….

Hoping this cycle is normal and lucky.

I’ll join! CD13 here and normally ovulate around CD16.

Similarly to @Enn1234 my last cycle was crazy, 37 days which has never happened before. The only thing I can think is I started taking Tesco pregnancy supplements (which I’ve now ditched).

Hoping this cycle is back to normal! No sign of EWCM yet. This is our second cycle TTC first baby.

We’re also being fairly relaxed, no OPKs and just DTD every other day.

@Enn1234 oh wow 14 days late - has this ever happened to you before? No I have no idea when I'm ovulating either but my periods are normally 28/29 days. Are you doing any LH or BBT testing or just going with the flow?

Sorry that should say 12 days late -
Never been this late in my entire life!
But I was taking pregnacare that delayed the previous period but only by few days and this next period I was only taking folic acid.
So now ive stopped taking any vitamins
Not using opks or temping
Just going with the flow atm

Hi!
Im on CD13 too today!
However, my last period was 14 days late and this month period was only 4 days long so not sure when Im ovulating or when next period is due 😫
