June 2023 TTC Thread

[BB2023]

Welcome to June ladies. Adding this thread here to share our June journeys.
Wishing you lots of luck for the month ahead. 🤞🤞🤞

@PeeBeee lets the TWW start !! Well like the TDW in your case 😁 finger crossed and let’s enjoy life in the meantime :))

@SouthSpringMoon haha. I LOVE that. Perhaps this is an excuse to buy some new lingerie? 😅

@glasspaw I’m cd7 too. When are you ovulating?
My partner knows about me tracking ovulation. He even asks how my opks are looking and I tell him when I get a positive. I think it helps that we don’t dtd obsessively around ovulation time but rather spontaneously and once on the day of peak test.

@emmatcc1 prior to DS1 I ovulated on CD14/15, so I’m assuming it’ll be the same now given my cycle length is the same but I’m using test strips and BBT to try and get a more accurate picture now that we are actively trying. How about you?

that sounds like a healthy way to go about it. I know my partner will feel pressurised if I give him too much information so I think I probably just need to instigate at the right time. We didn’t have this first time around because it just sort of happened! I ordered all the test kit stuff and had my BFP before it arrived. We got so lucky.

Has anyone had a Antral Follicle Count scan before ? Just wondered if there is a specific time during the cycle when this is completed ? Would doing this on/around ovulation be risky or irrelevant? Tia xx

@Favofit just jumping in here as I had my scan a couple of weeks ago. They said it didn't matter when in the cycle they did it but interestingly you could see that I had very recently ovulated as there was a misshapen follicle just turned into a corpus luteum. So that made it seem that I had just ovulated but my bbt and app tracking said I ovulated a day later. Makes me think that my temp rise might be a bit slow and I should assume I ovulate earlier than the app always predicts.

Lovely lines there @Snowdrop79 !

There you are 🤗🤗🤗

That's really interesting thank you xx

@glasspaw My ovulation day varies between 11-14. Last month it was cd14. I also do opks and bbt but I hate to see the bbt drop two days before af so this time I’ll only track bbt until ovulation is confirmed.

@SouthSpringMoon

I'm CD 4 at the moment, period should end today. Will start clue blue ovulation tests around CD 12. Usually ovulate CD16 :)

Where abouts are you?

@PineappleK ah thank you that helps a lot 😊 I was testing twice a day on the cheap opk's and Premom but I only started them after a couple of days of flashing smileys on the cb digitals (as that's when they were delivered) so I'm hoping it's a case of maybe ovulating early or missing the LH surge before I started on premom 😬 still really low readings I'm on CD17 now, really hoping it's not an anovulatory cycle as only had a very very small amount of CM this month compared to usual!

With sharing when ovulating with the OH my DH keeps asking me and when I said I had a flashing smiley for the first time he moved quicker than I've ever seen him move before 😂😂😂 literally jumped off the sofa like Usain Bolt

Thats so cute 😂☺️

@SouthSpringMoon 😂 took me way too long to realise what tdw stood for!

@PeeBeee ahah i was so overwhelmed by the number of acronyms when I joined I thought why not make it even more complicated 🤣🤣 joking

@riverlodge90 im 6dpo not really any symptoms yet and quite impatient to test I have to say but trying not to be too hopeful or obsessive if that means anything 😆

Hi everyone. Joining as starting TTC second baby this month. Do you count first day of period as first CD? If so then I’m CD10 today. Nice to meet you all and best of luck to everyone!

Oh and just to add with my first baby I did use the OPK and never got a solid… but fell pregnant 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hello everyone. Officially stopped taking my pill today, so that’s us TTC baby number 2. All happened very quickly last time, so managing my expectations on the process this time round!

@PeeBeee what does tdw stand for?! I thought I'd worked out all the acronyms! Ha

CD14 today for me, expecting positive opk tomorrow I think...DS1 is sleeping so badly at the mo we've had zero energy for BD but will make an effort this eve! 😂

@AnonyHB welcome! Yep, first day of AF is CD1! :)

@Pandabumbles ten day wait as I said I am testing then hahaha! Not an official acronym :)

what ages is ds1? Hope you get some bd’ing in :)

I was taking pregnacare pre-conception vitamins and I'm on CD11 with no signs of upcoming ovulation, my LH is so low still (usually starts climbing slowly about 4 days before peaking). So have switched back to Boots own brand, did anyone else have this?

@PeeBeee ahh thanks, that makes sense! DS1 is 18 months and cutting his back molars... not fun, bless him. We're very tired!

@PineappleK yes! I found pregnacare seems to have delayed EWCM appearing so I'm ovulating a couple of days later than normal. I was taking it when I got pregnant with DS1 so feel like it helped (although who knows!)...
