Ttc buddies to keep my sane?

[starryx]

Hi all

Making this thread for those who are also losing their mind a bit on this journey, we can chat to each other and try to keep each other up and positive and afloat!

Hello!

I will join the thread! Also going out of my mind!

What cycle are you on?

I was very lucky to conceive DC1 on cycle 1.
Think I'm about to ovulate and cycle 9! 😕

I'm on cycle day 28 of my 8th cycle. So if af hits I will be onto my 9th cycle! So not far behind you. And wow! This is my first baby to ttc. Come off the pill just before September. Thought it'd be much quicker. Like 6 months max.

Hi @starryx
I'm on cycle 6 ttc baby number 2. My little boy took 3 cycles. I know 6 months isn't long at all but I'm definitely getting impatient and fed up now.
I'm just starting my fertile week now! Are you going to test or wait to see if AF comes?

Aww well 6 months feels like forever when you really want something! And good luck !! I'm going to wait and see if af shows 😊

Do you track ovulation? Some months I do as I feel like I just need to know and some months I think sod it as it hasn't made a difference so far 🫣

Honestly I dtd pretty much daily / every other day. To allow rest and not over doing it for the sperm lol. So I don't track for that reason. But I have a rough idea just based on my discharge. I use flo and honestly my discharge shows around the time. 😊

[Daisyrobin123]

@starryx It does doesn't it. That's good, I'm usually great at holding off testing until the day before AF is due and then I just need to know either way!

I've also stopped symptom spotting because every month I seem to have something that makes me think this could be the month and its not!

[Confusedddddddd]

Can I join? We're TTC#2, like you I thought it'd be much quicker. DC1 took 6 cycles and it felt like an eternity, second pregnancy ended ectopic but was conceived 1st go. Since then we've been trying 10 cycles. I've booked Hycosy and AMH testing next cycle if we don't succeed this one.

[Adamsapple89]

On Cycle 5 ttc #1. Due to ovulate tomorrow or next day from opk. And I’m bored of it all already 😅good luck all for this month

Yeah honestly you symptom spot and find everything under the sunn then end up having af and it's such a let down. This is probably one of the must challenge times of my life. As you want something so much you do everything to get it and just have to wait and wait.

Of course welcome! And yeah it's mad how much longer it can take then you'd imagine. Didn't realise until I started trying how low the chance was each month. And I don't blame you! Might as well start to try and see if you can improve your fertility and chances.

Welcome! And yeah it gets so repetitive waiting for the bfp every month or af to show up instead lol

[OliveTurtle]

Thank you for this!! I am on cycle 9 and I really didn’t think it would take this long -
my first time ttc.
May I ask how often everyone is having sex during their fertile week? Starting to think I must be doing something wrong! X

[Adamsapple89]

@OliveTurtle I’m doing every other day this cycle. However, have been pregnant before wasn’t a viable pregnancy but only sex once the entire month and flo app logged that ovulation day

[moosey89]

Hey all! I'm definitely certifiably insane from TTC no1😂
TTC 2.5 years with my ex (ended in MMC at 11 weeks)

With my current partner we TTC for 6 months, sadly ended in MMC at 10 weeks last year. Currently on cycle 9 of trying again!

[OliveTurtle]

I’m aiming for every 2-3 but I feel like this means it’s going to take even longer!

[Confusedddddddd]

@OliveTurtle we do every other day from cd10 to 16. My ovulation is like clockwork with peak OPK then ovulation pains on day 15 though so I know we don't miss it.

Honestly right?? Getting pregnant is definitely not as easy as media and so on make it. It's a real tough journey xx

[Fairy0708]

Sorry to hear of the MCs.

I truly think it is down to luck! My cousin is expected her first child and I know it took her around 14 cycles.

With my son we did it on CD 11,13,14 and 16. No tracking at all and got pregnant that cycle!

This time we generally do every other day from CD8-17. If I track then we try to do peak day and day after but doesn't always work out.

It's such a draining and lonely part of life xx

Hello!
can I join!
Im TTC #3 I have 2 boys already one a whoops, one took 7 months to conceive!
I had a MMC in February at 10weeks! Only cycle 3 since my loss!
surprisingly feeling very chill this cycle for now, I’m just about to ovulate today or tomorrow not tracking using OPKs just know all the signs!

[Roseberry22]

I’d love to join you all! I think I’ve joined a thread with you before so sorry to hear you’re also still TTC, hopefully our BFP is just around the corner.

Month 11 TTC I thought I’ve had one month where we’d got pregnant as I had really intense cramps and some blood when wiping on 8dpo but unfortunately nothing came from it!

TTC is such a lonely place so it’d be lovely to have this group x

[SWeal]

I’d love to join, to help keep me sane!!

TTC baby#3, currently on cycle 7. Had acupuncture this afternoon, i’ve been having regular fertility massages but decided to try acupuncture this month!

Baby dust to everyone xxx
