TTC #1 Feb 2024

[ToeBeans24]

Hello

Looking for fellow mums to be starting their TTC journey :)

I’m officially starting this cycle (currently CD6). Last night was the first time without any contraception (v early but hoping to continue all throughout fertile period). Not gonna lie it felt very strange now the actual TTC has started!

But very excited and wanting to hear from people on this journey too!

Hey.

CD10 for me. Going to be DTD at least every other day. Busy couple of weeks for DH so we'll see if we actually manage that! Due to ovulate around the 1st/2nd so covering all grounds leading up to then.

Think this'll be our last attempt before trying something different like tracking OPKs.

@Riverstardust fingers crossed this is your month! 3rd time lucky as you say!

im CD12! DTD CD5, 8, 10, 11 then aiming for 13, 15 & 17 for good measure 🤞🏻

@ToeBeans24 definitely sounds like a plan! Fingers crossed this is our month!!! Sending you lots of baby dust!!

Hi everyone, hope you don’t mind me joining.
This is my first month TTC following a missed miscarriage in November. Taken since then to get my body back to normal.
Due to ovulate in around 4 days, but not really sure on my cycles since the MC.

With I first got pregnant I didn’t do any ovulation tracking, but with this i am as I just don’t know what my cycles are, and after the MC I’m desperate to conceive again.

Aiming for DTD every other day while I wait for ovulation to happen.

Good luck to you all 🤞🏻

@Figtree11 so sorry to hear about your MC. Fingers crossed for this month! Always good practice (and fun) to DTD every other day anyway then hopefully if you ov early / late you’re still covered!

CD18 for me today and due to ovulate tomorrow! We've DTD every other day for the last week and we're planning on tonight, tomorrow and possibly Tuesday if we've still got any energy!

Not looking forward to the dreaded TWW

Fingers crossed for everyone 🤞🏼

How everyone doing? I reckon if I’m right I’m 6dpo and I have so many symptom's. I’m 33 day cycle due AF on 7th February

• sore breasts all day
• Fatigue (more then normal)
• Hungry
• odd cramping

I tested and of course BNF! What you reckon??

Ditto everything here! Just had my positives on all my ovulations tests today. At least we won't be alone in the TWW :).

CD11 for me so according to clue it's my fertile window. Starting every other day until the 10th, possibly everyday around ovulation!

Still not feeling positive about the whole process, just don't think it'll ever happen for me. Always believed I'd have trouble/never be a mum, no reason for this but just can't see myself getting lucky! But hopefully this cycle proves me wrong!

@ToeBeans24 @Fingerscrossed88 the 3 of us ovulate around the same time, how you both feeling?

Sending hope to you all!!!

@Riverstardust CD13 for me. Pretty sure I’m ov’ing due to cramps and EWCM. Ended up DTD yesterday so have done CD 5, 8, 10, 11, 12.

ill aim for CD 14 too if I have the energy 😂

bless you. I know it’s far easier said than done but try to stay positive. Although it seems like a long time 3 months is still a really short window TTC. Positive manifestations and baby dust ✨

@ToeBeans24 get on the pre workout 😂 Hopefully, it's more than enough for you!!

I know, I appreciate it. 3 months is nothing I know but in the middle of it, it seems like ages 😂

@Riverstardust ahahha I may have to!

thank you. Only takes one as they say 🤞🏻

im 33 so that plays on my mind a bit!

@KittyFantastica I'm gonna try and be more chill in the TWW this time and I have a busy couple of weeks in work so hopefully that will keep me occupied! We could our BFP around the same time 🤞🏼

@ToeBeans24 I feel ya! I've been feeling a little guilty that it's kind of taken the sexiness out of it but DP is more than happy to play his part 😂

When’s everyone testing?! 🤭🤭

@ToeBeans24 @Riverstardust hi ladies, today is my predicted ovulation day and ive had dull cramps all day. We have dtd for the past 8 days 😅.

Really hope this is our cycle 💗 , I have a lot on the next 2 weeks so hopefully I can just "relax"

I am going to try and hold off testing until flo app tells me too, which I think is like 3 days after your missed period? What is everyone else doing? I find this all so hard!

My ovulation tests didn't pick up ovulation in December and I thought I hadn't ovulated. I don't even really remember the TWW, it seemed to fly by as the Christmas period was so busy and I didn't think I'd have much of a chance. I woke up five days before my period was due with weird crampy feelings in my belly. I thought AF had arrived early, but no sign. Did a test and got the shock of my life. Sadly, it ended in a chemical, but the sensations were like nothing else I've ever felt.

I think, this time, I won't bother testing early but I know I'll be hoping and waiting to feel the same sensations again. I realise it might be different than the first time, but in my head I keep thinking that's how I'd know. I've promised myself I won't test until after my period is due, but we will be away for a few days at that time and I'd need to know before we go (wine will be involved).

Sorry to hear about your chemical @KittyFantastica

i think I’m also gonna wait until AF due. @Fingerscrossed88 last month my flo app told me to test 1 day after AF was due. Ended up being 5 days late ! But was sick in Dec around ov so I think that’s why! 8 days!! You’ve been busy 🤭

@ToeBeans24 hahaha yes! 😆
What preg tests do you like to use? I am just so not a fan of clear blue with their indent lines.
Was thinking to do digital only but then you wouldn't get the progression to check?

@KittyFantastica Sorry to hear about your chemical. I really hope this is your month!

@ToeBeans24 I'm going to try hold off until AF is late but easier said than done!

@Fingerscrossed88 I've had the same dull ache for the last day too.

Ladies, I got my LH peak yesterday afternoon and we DTD last night about 10pm. Should we try again tonight (will be about the same time) or will it be too late?

@2doggos I read that its recommended for the day after ovulation too as the egg can be there for 24-48 hours?

@Fingerscrossed88 Yeah I think we'll DTD tonight as well then, just to cover all bases 😅

@2doggos I think ovulated yesterday too, so same boat!

sounds like we are all getting busy tonight 🤭🤭🤭

@Fingerscrossed88 i have the freedom dip ones and also a sains own one. They’ve got much better over the years as they are now pink dye (used to be blue). I like the digital ones but as silly as it sounds the words “not pregnant” just really upsets me more than a single line. Daft I know but I’m sure many understand !
