Hey!

Thought id start a new thread as anyone at the beginning of their cycle TTC now I guess will be looking at January due dates! Think AF will be here today or tomorrow for me so my due date would be 7th January…

Hi ladies, please can I join too?

I am currently trying to conceive baby #2 after 3 mc and struggling to stay positive. I hope we all get some luck soon 🤞🏻

When is everyone planning to test? I don’t test for ovulation but go by the Flo app and EWCM and I supposedly ovulated on the 18th (although I have a feeling slightly later as I had EWCM a few days after). I had a strong line at 9DPO with my first, but planning to test on Sunday at 10 DPO this month.

Hello!

I’ve been following these TTC posts for a few months now.

Not usually one to post, but just feeling a bit lonely in my TTC #2 struggles.

On cycle number 19 I believe and just feeling fed up!

Hope there’s lots of you getting your positives this month ❤️

Shinystar93 · 22/04/2024 15:41

Prayers for everyone here that this month is our BFP😭😭😭😭😭I’m in Cd 8 atm , and dtd on cd 7, I work 2 nights a week so that’s why I started SPEM on cd 7 as to cd 8 due to me being on a night tonight x

PondwoodS · 22/04/2024 15:50

Congratulations @MaybeBaby2024 !! How many months were you ttc #2? Hope for us all ❤️

TTCaxristi · 22/04/2024 15:57

Placemarking, just in case 💕

MaybeBaby2024 · 22/04/2024 16:02

@PondwoodS thank you! Technically since December 2023 but this is only my second cycle. I have very irregular periods and long cycles, sometimes up to 3 months between periods so can be difficult for me to catch ovulation when it does happen. Was just lucky to catch my peak this time.

This has given me hope

Couldn’t help myself, did another today. Just reassuring to see it getting darker.
Still getting ‘not pregnant’ on the digital though which is annoying.

Massive Congrats!!

Hi all, joining this tread as I'm cd2 on cycle #4 ttc first baby. Came off the pill in Sept and been bbt using natural cycles and pull out method, started actively ttc in Feb. Have being doing everything - opks, temping, conceive plus lube, started pregnacare conception vitamins both me and hubby. What else can I try? My cycle is only 25 days and natural cycles confirm ovulation on cd12/13. I BD most days during fertile window.

@Shellbells44 my heart goes out to you. TTC is so lonely it's something you feel like you cant talk about. But it's so hard especially after that long. I hope you're finding ways to keep yourself sane and that you have someone to talk to if not message me any time

Thank you for your message. Very kind of you! Same to you if you need to rant. Hope you get your positive test very very soon.

My 2 year old keeps me busy luckily! 🙂 feel incredibly lucky to have him!

Hi there! Have you tried the SMEP method?

Sav96 · 23/04/2024 09:10

Hey ladies, I have drove myself wild and done a test this morning I think I’m 10 dpo but could possibly be anywhere between 8-10 dpo.

I’ve been having a few symptoms which align with other times I have fallen pregnant like vivid dreams, exhaustion, sharp twinges, extreme hunger! The test this morning is vvvvv faint and could possibly be a indent line but I’m sure I’ve seen it 😂😂 will leave it until Thursday now to give hcg time to double incase it’s positive 🤞🏼

Shinystar93 · 23/04/2024 01:58

Hi there! Have you tried the SMEP method?

Thanks for the reply @Shinystar93 yes I was reading up on it so will start cd8. Looking back at my natural cycles app I was definitely dtd 3-4 days in a row once I got positive opk. Going to use CB opks this time instead of easy@home. How are you getting on??

Irish812 · 23/04/2024 10:00

@Sav96 yay congratulations on your bfp! Those symptoms are crazy, great you can compare! How many cycles was that?

Sav96 · 23/04/2024 13:06

@Irish812

thank you! I’ll post a picture below of the paint positive to see if anyone else can see it 🙈

we tried February cycle but didn’t conceive, had a break March cycle and then tried again this cycle! How are you feeling? What CD are you on x

Irish812 · 23/04/2024 13:38

@Sav96 super clear bfp!! So lovely to have good news on here. I'm only cd3 so a bit to go until O day. Any tips from this cycle?? X

MaybeBaby2024 · 23/04/2024 14:46

@Sav96 yes i see it! That’s a pretty decent line. Congratulations 🥳

Sav96 · 23/04/2024 18:12

@Irish812 oh thank you I’m super happy but also shocked I really expected a few more months ❤️❤️ I wish I could say I didn’t some thing different but I didn’t, we just did the dead every other day from around day 10 to be sure to catch and took pregnacare vitamins x

@MaybeBaby2024 thank you!! New year babies ❤️❤️

LK2610 · 24/04/2024 07:49

Hello how’s everyone getting on? I’m currently around 5-7DPO but still DTD as per the NHS approach of every other day which feels a bit pointless but I guess it’s the advice for a reason. I won’t test until AF is late. No symptoms besides some very mild cramps yesterday evening x

LK2610 · 24/04/2024 07:50

Congrats @Sav96 🥰

YaWeeFurryBastard · 24/04/2024 07:55

@LK2610 I’m 4dpo and no doubt I’ll end up testing from 8/9 dpo 🙄. This is cycle 4 for us so really hope it works soon.

PermanentlyTired03 · 24/04/2024 09:41

I’m 1 DPO and on Cycle 3. I’ll try to hold off testing until my period is late. It was a week late this month for the first time in about 25 years which gave me cruel false hope!

Daniki · 24/04/2024 09:49

@Dogscanlookup how are you getting on?
