Popping this here for anyone TTC this month.
Sending lots of luck and positive vibes to everyone. xx 💖💖💖

Cycle 2 - CD4 for me, AF just finishing up and then we are go x

Cycle 6 of TTC #1 and I’m on CD2. It would be great to join you. Really hoping this is my month.

I'd like to join in. Cd5 for me. Was pregnant for all of 3 days then had a chemical last week Wednesday. Hope this month is the month. Good luck to everyone.

Been ttc since last June 💭 CD14 currently. Had hycosy last week so really hoping for the best 🤞

@HelgaPatakisDiary so sorry to hear that. Hope you are ok. I didn’t realise how common that seems to be until I joined Mumsnet.

@jessie92 keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Hello, joining this as now on month 7 of ttc.. AF started on Friday

Been feeling a bit down as I hear most couples fall within 6 months so does worry me a bit. However, summer is coming up and I am trying to keep positive..
I am also going to get private fertility tests done this month for me and dh for peace of mind. I know if can be normal to take up to a year but still would like to know before if any conferns from fertility doctor.
@jessie92 have my fingers crossed for you. Tempted to get that done if ttc still after a year. It will be good to checking if tubes are blocked and heard fertility improves few months after the dye test.

@Jennifer89 I’m on cycle 6. I feel the same. I know upto a year is considered normal but hard not to worry. Where/what fertility tests are you thinking of getting out of interest?

@Bluebell0921 Yes definitely and doesn't help other women around me seem to be getting pregnant at the drop of a hat.
I am getting fertility tests done from TFP fertility clinic which is a chain I believe.. The tests include AMH blood test, scan and semen analysis.
I have already had day 21 and day 3 cycle blood tests done which GP said was normal but been waiting for 3 months for scan with nhs so decided to go private. Noticed GP didn't mention AMH blood test either.
If I get pregnant this month that would be funny after paying for these tests but think still worth it for peach of mind..

@Jennifer89 @Bluebell0921 hi 😊 if interested, my timeline has been an initial blood test done by GP last summer, then we had sperm analysis at around 6/7 months I think (all normal). After a negative preg test at end of 10th month we had set up a private fertility app at the beginning of month 11. Had ultrasound & AMH (all normal) during 11th month, and then hycosy (normal too) during month 12. So all test have been normal but still no positive test so far!

would say our timeline has worked well as nearing the end of the year it is nice to know things are in place/ in process for the next cycle. The hycosy wasn’t the most pleasant procedure so would recommend waiting as I did in case you don’t need it! However in my case really hoping for the extra fertility the dr said would come after. She said lower chance for me this cycle but up to 60% in next 3 cycles… so hoping to be one of the lucky ones!

@jessie92 ah thank you, ttc is definitely a journey. Someone mentioned recently that it is can feel like a marathon and not a sprint which is definitely true..

I have heard the hycosy is uncomfortable so not in hurry for that just yet. Hope it has helped and you get good news by summer time 😊

Cycle 4 of TTC #1. CD12 so probably going ovulate in the next few days. Been very stressed this month and now am I'll. Hoping to still DTD at the right time 🤞

Lovely to see you all ladies. Fingers crossed for everyone this month x

Tracking ovulation from today. Didn't have a great experience with it last month so giving it another go! x

Cycle 4 and CD2. I had a very very faint positive last month which raised my hopes. Fingers crossed for us all.

CD9 today and got a high fertility reading on clear blue ovulation test this morning x

Hi ladies, cycle day 10 today.. still waiting for LH levels to rise! Time is DRAGGING

Negative pregnancy test finally and now I'm to ovulation testing. Nothing so far but I expected that. Hoping I ovulate soon 🤞

Could I join please? We've just started TTC today. We have a little girl whose 17 months

I'm going off flo this time but I used the CB ovulation tests and got pregnant right away so if it dosent happen this month I'll start with those. We're away on a spa weekend atm so seemed like a good idea to start trying. We've been ready for a while but wanted to avoid a Xmas baby as our daughters late nov already

Fingers crossed it's coming soon! 🤞

@dwightschrutebeets Welcome! Lovely to have you. Hope your TTC journey is short and you get your bfp soon xx

First month for us!
We are casually trying now and want to ramp up August if nothing happened (more BD😀). Feel abit better easing into it this way.

CD4 today but last month ovulated later CD20 (32 days total cycle length)

Could I join? CD12, second cycle trying for first baby.

First month trying this month!

TTC for #1 atm only really tracking my periods/ovulation through the Flo app. Just gonna go for it, on the week I’m supposed to be fertile and see what happens 🤷🏻‍♀️

Might try ovulation kits in a few months of nothing catches.
Good luck everyone!

What's everyone doing to prepare?
I am trying to not go 'supplement mad' as seen some posts that they can do more harm then good and mess with cycles .

So I am just sticking to a prenatal (DP aswell) and Coq10 for now.
