TTC Sept 2023

[MrsNT]

Lets jump on this bus
Xx

Keeping everything crossed for us all this month.
Got flashing smiley faces on CB ovulation tests yesterday and today so now overthinking when to DTD until I get a solid smiley. I don’t think I ever realised how much TTC would take over my brain!

Can I join please, I think I'm 8DPO according to my app, not done any ovulation sticks yet but I may order some after this cycle. This is the 2nd month TTC after a partial molar pregnancy in April.

Hi! Jumping into this thread. I am currently 4DPO on my first cylce actively trying to conceive but been off birth control for over six months. I know it´s really early days and I cannot complain but I am trying to gather all the information possible. I have been lurking for a while and decided to take the plunge.
I live abroad so I do not have access to all the products you mention. I am currently on inositol and been testing with Premom OPK for this month.
Fingers crossed it is going to be our month!
(I am also trying to catch up with all the terms so please bear with me and I am sorry if I have put my foot into anything.

Hi all! Well yesterday was O-day for me so I'm 1dpo, back into the 2ww. Had my second MMC in July so I'm not too optimistic about my chances of being lucky enough to catch first time but you've got to be in it to win it so here I am!

Hi all 👋 I'm 4DPO on cycle 3 of TTC number 2 🤞 Currently trying not to overthink / symptom spot and failing haha. Baby dust to you all!

Hi all! Had my Peak on clearblue fertility monitor yesterday but was away with family so didn’t get the chance to do the deed. The monitor stays showing peak for 2 days so I’m hoping we may be able to catch it today but will be very surprised if i do as we haven’t DTD enough leading up to ovulation but it only takes one 🙏 fingers crossed

I got pregnant in May only DTD the day after static smiley. I've started using a Mira analyser now (which gives you actual numerical values of your hormones you're testing) and looks like for me the clearblue ones pick up the start of my LH and the day after that is my actual peak (so ovulation is 8-20hrs after the actual peak)! So I strongly recommend dtd the day after static smiley now! 😁

I'm 10DPO, thought I was out this month (and still could be!) because I thought AF had come this morning but it's only been a little bit of spotting. Really hoping it's implantation bleeding 🤞🏽 I didn't get this with my other pregnancies so we'll see...

Hi ladies hope it's ok to join, I'm on cd4 I think. Planning to use ovulation tests and bbt for the first time this month. Had a horrible 10 week cycle last time so really hoping this one will be nice normal and successful TTC 🤞 I'm quite excited and hopeful for this month!

Hey everyone

First time joining a TTC thread. About to start cycle 2 of TTC our first. Had convinced myself we were successful this month as had all the typical symptoms but turns out my mind (and body) was playing tricks. What is that about?!

Just ordered the clear blue digi ovulation kit to help pin down the fertility dates as was using iPhone estimation last month. Here’s to the journey ahead of us and hopefully we can share tips and support eachother! 😄

@florencesthoughts I am in exactly the same position as you! I naively thought, wow this is all looking great in our first cycle ever but how wrong I was to think it would be so easy 😂
I’m also using CB ovulation kits for the first time. Currently CD 11. It’s good to have other people on the journey too.

@MrsHousePlant ah great to know we are in the same position! I know haha, the same! Annoyed at myself now for thinking woah we really did it this quickly and we’re successful 😂.

My period has just come today so but behind you. Hope these ovulation kits arent too difficult to use…not buying any pregnancy tests either this month as realised no point testing so early and might as well wait until period is due. I used 3 this week alone just because they were in the house.

First time joining a TTC thread too! So nice to be able to chat with you ladies. I'm tracking using easy@home OPKs and got my first high yesterday. Sending good vibes to you all.

Hey....again!!

Another month TTC after a miscarriage in March. First time I'm tracking ovulation this month so we'll see what it shows. Should be ovulating at the weekend.

Wishing you all the best this month!

Snap! I'm also 4dpo (I think!) and on cycle 3 of TTC number 2. I'm still breastfeeding my 2 year old but hoping to have fully weaned in the next month or two as at 36 I feel the clock ticking...

I have regular 28ish day cycles and positive OPKs around half-way. But this was first month I started taking BBT properly and doesn't look like I ovulated based on that. I know it's not 100% accurate though and I've been unwell so we'll see! Not out until AF shows up.

Took a few years to conceive the first time around so I'm hoping it's quicker this time. Would so love to give my little one a sibling. 🥰

Baby dust to everyone! 💕

Sorry the above was in response to @etaketak1991

Didn't tag for some reason!

I'm really tempted to invest in one of these! Do you think they're worth the money/better than just using the usual ovulation strips?

I’m waiting to see if my period comes. Used the clear blue sticks and had loads of sec before and after smiley face so fingers crossed.

How many days after the smiley face do you ovulate?

Hi all,

Can I please jump on? Currently 1dpo, going by cheapie ovulation test I ovulated quite late this month if they are correct. I find being on a thread makes the tww pass a bit quicker and not so lonely as we all in the same boat.
Currently ttc after a miscarriage few months ago.

Baby dust for everyone 💟

Hi I’ve been doing ovulation tests this month first time trying and got a solid smile on Friday so got busy Saturday so I’m hoping my luck will be in app says I ovulate tomorrow? So fingers crossed

Cycle twins haha! I'm also BBTing and OPKing for the first time this cycle. My 3 year old has randomly started deciding she needs me in the small hours so not always 100% I'm taking BBT accurately! Everything looks along the right lines though, so fingers crossed 🤞

Woke up feeling nauseous this morning but I think I've caught a cold from soft play so maybe attribute it to that!

Hi, hope you don’t mind me joining in! I’ve been TTC now for 10 months…. I’m 37 and no children yet. I’ve had 2 MCs before that at the start of last year and all tests have come back normal. Has anyone had similar? Looking for some hope that it will happen after this amount of time / age!
🌈

Could I jump on? TTC no. 2 and waiting for my LH surge atm (hopefully the next few days). This will be our third month trying.

Baby dust!

Helloooo September ladies! Here we go again 🙈

I am only CD8 but have bought both clear blue and easy@home ovulation strips to try to nail ovulation this month. I've decided I'm not going to do any early testing until at least 2 days before period. I've seen so many dodgy evap / indent lines that people think are positive and aren't that I just don't want to go through it lol.

How's everyone doing? Oh husband and I are also taking maca capsules this month.
