Hi girls!! I am now CYCLE DAY 10. Is anyone on a similar point with me who wants to be a cycle buddy? I am following SMEP. Would be fab to start a WhatsApp group or a thread on here where we can support each other to those 2 lines 💕💕

Hi!
I'm a bit behind you! About 2/3 days PO! But would love to help keep your spirts up, symptom spot and all those things we do in the 2WW!
How are your feeling? Not long till you can test?

TheUndoing · 30/07/2023 20:39

I stopped taking the pill as of yesterday! Expecting it to take a few months for my cycles to regulate etc but really excited to be officially TTC our first DC.

Have you done much to prepare other than taking folic acid? I’m really trying to cut down on caffeine.

jenn88 · 30/07/2023 20:43

@TheUndoing I have just been taking folic acid since we started having unprotected intercourse, having coffee still but limited to 1 a day if I can and stopping drinking alcohol while in the 2WW!
It's an exciting feel TTC!!
@Freya1245 what is SMEP?

Freya1245 · 30/07/2023 21:13

I meant cycle day 10 sorry I wasn’t very clear- so I’m a little behind you, I’m coming up to ovulation in a few days ✨💕 How have you been feeling? Xx

@Freya1245 gosh sorry! You were clear, sorry I've been cruising MN for years but never that active so not great at the abbreviations!!!
I'm just going to Google SMEP now!!!!
I feel fine! Feel like the longest 2 weeks off my life that's all!
Will This be your 1st baby?

@jenn88 I’m the same days as you I think! Ovulated a couple of days ago now in TWW

jenn88 · 30/07/2023 21:55

@Lilpop90 yey! How are you feeling?
I think I can test 12th August? Going to try my hardest to not test before that!

Newandtrying · 30/07/2023 21:57

Hi 🙂 I’m 2 weeks off the pill as of Friday and TTC number 2, although this all feels new as my DD is now 10 nearly 11 x

Lilpop90 · 30/07/2023 22:00

@jenn88 good! How are you feeling? I’m due AF on 10th so will try and hold out testing until then! Is this your first month TTC?
I had a MMC at Christmas so trying to not make myself get too crazy with anxiety!

Westy22 · 30/07/2023 22:00

Hiii, Currently 3dpo 🙏 first cycle since MC. It already feels like it's been 300 years 🤣 x

jenn88 · 30/07/2023 22:13

@Lilpop90 yes this is first cycle actively trying since a MMC about 2 years ago! I haven't been on contraception for some years so hoping it all goes smoothly and I conceived our DD 1st cycle 4 years ago!
@Westy22 Hi! So nice to have mutual support going through this!!!
I'm a bit of a nutter and apparently my new past time is surfing the conception page looking at others pregnancy tests!!!!!!

Westy22 · 30/07/2023 22:22

These chats have been my lifesaver the last few months @jenn88 make me feel less insane discussing symptoms etc 🤣 oh I love looking at other peoples tests 🤣🤣

@Lilpop90 I'll probably be due AF around the 7th, but I'm a bit of a nightmare for early testing 🙈

@Newandtrying good luck 🤞 I came off the pill in December after nearly 20 years and got pregnant in March which was much quicker than I imagined, unfortunately tho that one wasn't ment to be 💔 but we go again 🤞 x

Newandtrying · 30/07/2023 22:36

@Westy22 im so sorry to hear that, sending lots of love and baby dust your way ♥️ I’m still awaiting a ‘real period’ after the withdrawal bleed so no idea where I am on ovulation scale at all really. Just DTD and hoping for the best really 🤣 Xx

Itllbegrand · 31/07/2023 00:13

Watching with interest. Baby dust to you all! Cycle 7 ttc number 2, 2dpo. Hoping for some positive news this month 🤞

moosey89 · 31/07/2023 09:21

Currently waiting for tests to go negative again after MMC (surgical management 10 days ago) so hoping to be able to try again in August once they do!

Huriya · 31/07/2023 10:15

CD3 here 🙋🏽‍♀️
Im just waiting for AF to finish so we can get going 🙈

Maybebaby12345 · 31/07/2023 10:19

Hi guys, can I join!! I'm 2dpo today, cycle 3 of properly ttc. We gave it our absolute all this month and dtd as much as we possibly could this past week. I'm exhausted 🤣

Kofifi · 31/07/2023 16:44

Hey I'll join! I'm CD3 TTC#1.

We've been trying since Feb but because of work trips and a weird long cycle i think last month is the one month we managed to do everything "right". Was so disappointed.

Trying to keep relaxed about it but its so difficult.

jenn88 · 31/07/2023 16:47

Hi!
Still blows my mind that we spent the best part of late teens/20's trying not to get pregnant and now here we are!!!
All quiet for me! No symptoms to speak of.. possibly bloating but not unusual for me!!!

CatiaR · 31/07/2023 16:50

Hi all! TTC #1 cycle 2 😊 I’m on CD2 so just waiting a few more days for AF to finish so I can start opk testing and see how we get on this month.

sending baby dust to all, but especially to those of you already in the TWW!

Westy22 · 31/07/2023 22:25

4DPO today and not feeling much, bloated and digestive system is a bit off but I have Coeliac disease so that's probably just being caused by a general digestive issue lol thought I had some niggly cramps today but they were very subtle so I probably imagined it 😂

Tingly boobs is a thing for me atm but pretty sure it's just my hormones playing games as I experienced this last month.

Good luck everyone xx

Twinkles18 · 01/08/2023 04:18

Hey ladies can I join? 💖
this is month 2 of TTC for baby #2 following a mc in May. Already have a DD who is 16 months.

think I’m ovulating tomorrow as had positive opk at dinner time (negative one when tested yesterday morning) so fingers crossed.

baby dust to us all 💫

katie416 · 01/08/2023 16:31

Hi can I join? On cycle #2 of ttc baby #2. My first little girl will be 2 this month 🥹 She was a surprise baby so I’m finding this whole ttc thing quite difficult tbh. Think I had unrealistic expectations of how quick it would happen the 2nd time round. I’m on CD13 today of usually a 29 day cycle, OPK’s still negative, think I will possibly ovulate Friday. Does anyone know when I should see the peak? It’s my first time using OPK’s and I’m finding it really confusing 😂💖

CatiaR · 01/08/2023 16:53

@katie416 welcome! Not an expert at all but if you’re regular you may see this tomorrow I’m guessing but I’m sure someone more knowledgeable will come along!
