Anyone at the start of their cycle and want to join?

[Bb542]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone else is at the start of their cycle and wants to make a little thread to go through the month together?

I'm currently CD2. I had a loss in February and this will be my first cycle properly trying again. Feeling nervous and excited. Hoping the loss was a once off 🤞🏼

All welcome to join if you are early on in your cycle 🥰

@Bb542 ah that's why, how annoying!! The clear blue ones are so expensive. I'm already dreading how I'll feel in early pregnancy as I know the anxiety will take over.

Did you try to search on Ebay? you can find them there as well.

Do you know anyone in the UK who would be able to purchase and post to you? Bit more expensive though I know

Can I join too. Recognise a few names here 😄 I'm 33, had a twin stillbirth and neonatal death at 29 weeks last November. This is cycle 5 for me.

I'm in Ireland too. I ordered the easy at home from the German amazon. Delivery was 8 euro but I swear by them. You won't be able to get them from the UK. There's a new policy after being brought in to deliver here to Ireland. A lot of products not being sent from UK to Ireland now

I've attached the link.

Mind if I join? CD5 here on my first full cycle TTC#2 after coming off contraception. Last time round I had short cycles (23 - 24 days) with a short luteal phase so interested to see if things have changed at all this time round.

@jellyfish2 I know how you feel. It's hard but it sounds like a few of us have gone through loss so it's nice to have a group like this to go through TTC together.

@Ella31 oh, I'm so, so sorry to hear about your losses. I can't even how imagine how hard that was was you. I hope you're doing ok now. Thank you so much for the Amazon Germany link. I never thought of that, but it's a great idea. How are you doing now? What day of your cycle are you on?

@blackberryhill of course you can join lovely! So nice to see this thread getting bigger. I'm also on CD5. Nice to have someone on the same day as me. My cycles have been longer since my miscarriage though so no idea when I'll ovulate 😫

I'm on cycle day 17. I'm doing ok. Trying to navigate their death and trying to conceive is hard. But I'm keeping going.

My ovulstion after my boys. 3 days longer but you'll definitely find the easy at home good. Sorry for your loss. Its so hard.

how are we all doing? CD15 today for me and still no sign of ovulation. Hope some of you are getting to that TWW!

CD12 for me but don't ovulate until 19 or 20 so still a while to go!

Currently CD16 but think this month is going to be a throwaway 🥴 haven't even tested for LH yet, completely fell off the wagon this month 😩

One of my friends has just told me she’s pregnant so feeling like this won’t be my month either (and I don’t mind - I’ve got a baby already and she doesn’t so the focus should be her!) but bored of waiting to see if I’ll ovulate (despite it being CD35 or something last month!)

CD16 for me. Got peak ovulation test yesterday, much earlier than expected. The OPK only has a faint line now so I guess I ovulated early this month 🙈 luckily we DTD yesterday and today so fingers crossed, although I would've liked to do it more 🙈

@Bb542 how exciting! How are you feeling about this cycle?

I’m CD18 today and have had some creamy brown discharge which I’ve never really had before? Had it at the end of my period for a few days this month but I presumed that was because of the chemical. Negative LH tests so not sure what’s going on???

I'm feeling optimistic but scared at the same time. If I'm pregnant I'll be delighted but also terrified after my miscarriage in February. If I'm not pregnant I'll be so sad 💔

Have you ovulated already? Could it be implantation bleeding? I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. It's probably just a bit of old blood x

@Bb542 sending you so much baby dust! Have you thought about when you’ll test etc?

Definitely not ovulated (and have only DTD twice as we were away for ten days and room sharing with DD!) but hopefully just old blood like you say :)

Yep I have based on rough predicted ovulation dates for the next 3 months 🙈

Also Hi just joining in this thread if thats ok? I'm CD 10 🤦🏼‍♀️ First month of trying since getting my coil removed.

This will baby no 3 for me (4th pregnancy baby 2 was a mmc)

Thank you 🥰 you too! I'll probably test next Tuesday/Wednesday 😬😬

Welcome @BlueberryPoppy123 🩷 wishing you lots of luck this cycle!

I've also calculated my predicted due date. It would be the very end of Jan.

Had a positive LH test today (CD23, which is progress compared to last month!).
Annoyingly wasn’t expecting it, so have only DTD tonight and CD21. Will get another one in tomorrow hopefully but DH is busy with work so feel like I’ve missed this month!

@retrievermum you never know, it only takes the one time! 🤞 Are you 1dpo today then? If so, we're exactly the same. I'm going to try and hold off until 11 or 12dpo before testing. (We'll see).

@jellyfish2 i think today will be day 0 so I’ll be 1DPO tomorrow, so only a day behind! I’m going to try and hold off testing until 14DPO, which will be made easier as I’m at a wedding 12DPO and want a drink haha! How are you feeling?

@retrievermum that sounds like a good plan! I want to try and not think about it but it's always hard isn't it. I'm ok, I'd love to get BFP after my MMC in Feb but what will be will be. Fingers crossed this is our month 🤞

@jellyfish2 its so hard! I’m glad I’ve got the wedding cause I’m bridesmaid so I don’t want to ruin it for myself if I know I am/aren’t pregnant! Better to not know! Have you spoken to many people about TTC? I’ve been telling people we aren’t trying for number 2 for a while and now it’s all I can think about!

@retrievermum that'll be a lovely day. A few drinks that early on won't do anything anyway but for your own mind it's better to not know. Well because I had the MC in Feb people will know I'm trying but maybe not yet. I'm still getting asked how I am etc. when ttc it just consumes you, I wish I could be laid back about I but I really can't. How old is your first?
