I have searched and can’t find a thread for anyone who’s Ttc this month!
I’ll be onto month 4 since I had a mmc of trying to conceive! I won’t lie when AF showed yesterday I had a full blown meltdown about it and felt like I would never get pregnant when in reality 3 months really isn’t that long!
I am very lucky to already have 2 wonderful little boys age 7 &3 but really would like a 3rd to make out family complete!

@km9371 welcome! I don’t have any experience trying while breastfeeding I’m not that brave to have them so close together 🙈
@QuantumPanic I ovulate really early so hopefully OPKs will help you know exactly when you ovulate!

Hi girls! Wondered if anyone could please help. I am so confused by my bbt - really trying with it this month… it’s our 3rd cycle TTC our second. Really appreciate any insight people may have xxx

Hi all! Joining but i might "miss" may. Unpredictable cycles here.

I'm am breastfeeding my first baby, so my cycle is all over the place. Does anyone have experience of conceiving while breast feeding?

Ovulated late so expecting period Saturday as usually come on 14 days after ovulation, which will make this cycle 37 days. I did a pregnancy test yesterday which was negative so feeling quite sad.

Hoping for better chances later this month!

Unfortunately I can't help, my periods did return with BF but I was cutting down quite a lot. They were regular though so assuming a bit of BF doesn't have an impact! Were your cycles unpredictable before your first, or just at the moment? X

I'm afraid I'm no help whatsoever. All I know is temp is meant to rise past ovulation, and stay there apart from a slight dip at implantation? 🤷🏻

I'm sure someone with more knowledge will come along shortly x

@RT1989 Do you use opks as well? It doesn’t look like you ovulated. The temps after ovulation are supposed to be higher.

Thanks for responding @emmatcc1 and @ThelastRolo20

yes I used OPKs - shown as the blue symbols on the pic - I used clear blue digital 4 days :) my son has been having more night wakes so not sure I can 100% rely on the temps being accurate.

emmatcc1 · 03/05/2024 10:23

@RT1989 Is this your first time doing bbt? I’m don’t really have knowledge with charts like this. Maybe try opening a new thread?

km9371 · 03/05/2024 13:57

@ThelastRolo20 they were really regular for a couple of years before first babe! He is nine months now, I have only had two periods so may be trying it a bit sooner than my body would like.

@TicklishDreamer I was open to a very small age gap tbh, I've a close friend with "Irish twins" and I thought that would've been nice 😂

TicklishDreamer · 03/05/2024 14:36

@km9371 my friend has Irish twins and honestly when she told me I thought she was mad! I don’t think I could cope with 2 so small together!
@RT1989 I’ve no experience BBT so unfortunately can’t help’

@TicklishDreamer how old is your little one? I wouldn't mind a larger gap but to be honest I'm not sure my career would recover from multiple breaks, and I've found our first baby quite easy! Though he is a barnacle and I sometimes worry how I'll cuddle two of them all night 😂

TicklishDreamer · 03/05/2024 16:04

@km9371 i have 2 so I’ve a 7year old and a 3 year old! My oldest was a horrific baby he didn’t sleep longer than 30mins till he was 9 months!!
Both mine love a cuddle in bed early morning I just let them lay on me now I’ve given up 🤣 you’ll manage to cuddle both fine I’m sure!!

@TicklishDreamer that sounds tough! Mine is not a great sleeper but I have him in with me and barely move to attend to him, it softens it a bit 😂

emmatcc1 · 04/05/2024 15:53

Not sure if I’m getting sick but I suddenly feel nauseous, tired and I’m sweating so much.

TicklishDreamer · 04/05/2024 16:10

@emmatcc1 you never know could be a sign of something!!

@km9371 it was awful! We had him in with us for ages because of sleeping! It does get better they eventually sleep!

Morning everyone. How are you all today? I'm officially in the fertile window. Day 15 now and have a very dark line on the ovulation test 🤞🏼

TicklishDreamer · 05/05/2024 09:28

@Bb542 morning!! I ovulated yesterday (I don’t do OPKs so just assuming based on usual signs) but we’ve all been Ill so only managed to DTD 3 times in lead up including yesterday! So officially in TWW not feeling particularly hopeful but you never know!

That's great! Time to get active 😂 I'm 8DPO and zero symptoms. Not holding out much hope but there we are

KarmaCaramello · 05/05/2024 09:45

Hi can I join? 5dpo…only managed to dtd once at 1dpo so basically just counting the days til af 🫠

jellyfish2 · 05/05/2024 10:44

@Bb542 good luck! I'm on cd11 but don't ovulate until 19 or 20 so I've got another few days to go. It's dragging in this time so i know the tww will be even worse!

Time goes ridiculously slowly when TTC doesn't it!

jellyfish2 · 05/05/2024 11:21

@ThelastRolo20 it really does! How are you getting on? When are you going to test? I really hope to see lots of BFPs in this thread!

I'm 8DPO but my last two pregnancies I had a good dollop of EWCM (enjoy that imagine) at 8DPO.

So if it doesn't arrive of course I'm counting myself out. Going to try and hold off to Thursday to test. Fat chance though 😂 I've already POAS yesterday which was negative of course!

jellyfish2 · 05/05/2024 11:39

@ThelastRolo20 I really hope you get your BFP! 🤞

Bb542 · 05/05/2024 12:49

@TicklishDreamer Oh great!! I think 3 times is plenty so fingers crossed it worked this month. How are you feeling now? Hope you're all feeling better xx

@ThelastRolo20 that's the plan. DP goes away later this week and we are currently abroad so hopefully we have enough chances 🤞🏼

@KarmaCaramello you never know, you could be lucky 🤞🏼 hope it works out for you!

@jellyfish2 oh I know. Time goes so slowly doesn't it! I usually ovulate day 17/18 and I'm day 15 now but the line is pretty dark. I'd say I'll ovulate on Tuesday so going to keep going until then 😂
