TTC #1, starting first ever TWW

[ano24]

👋

Anyone else in a similar position?

That's great news to have another opportunity!

I'm out this month, temp has dropped 😔

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well?

Are you all going again this month?

Hi @BlueAjah I'm good thanks, how are you getting on?
yeah gonna give it another month or two I think and see what happens.

Hiya @BlueAjah yep!

As such early days, we're more just seeing what happens next few months and hoping all goes well 🤞

I'd say based on my usual cycle dates I'll be in my window again this time next week. Will try not to force it but hoping things line up!

What about you, how does it work with your donor? Will you try once or over a few days?

I'm good thank you, been keeping busy with work,

Seeing my donor on Friday evening as I'm due to start ovulating on Sunday. Its been pretty consistent my last few cycles so hopefully 🤞🏻 will stay them same for this one. Can only see him the once this time due to other things for both of us, but I'm quite relaxed about it at the moment, as you said it's still early days.

Hey @BlueAjah how did it go?!

Think I'm now just starting the tww again 🤞

Hi @ano24, went well thank you ☺️ super grateful my donor can make the time to come and give the goods lol. Met him Friday and think I started ovulating yesterday, so going to be testing around the 21st I think.

Fingers cross for you! 🤞🏻 How are feeling? I'm more nervous this time I think

Great 😊 and snap @BlueAjah I'm due AF around then so will wait it out with ya.

I'd actually say more chilled this time but only because have tried a different approach to last month (when I was really hopeful we'd done all we could) so genuinely curious to see if works.

I also felt like I had some symptoms last tww so really going to try and ignore everything this time as was clearly just normal stuff!

Why do you think you're feeling more nervous this time? X

@ano24, I think I'm a bit the same, going to try and not analyze every weird feeling or cramp etc. but last time, I think I knew I was out from the beginning. My timing wasn't quite right but I thought it was worth a shot anyway, but this time I'm definitely in before ovulation, so a bit more nervous as maybe this time there is a proper chance?
Just going to try and not think about it too much, but hard not to.
What have you done differently this time?

Yeah I totally get it @BlueAjah, I think that's why I was so hopeful last time as really felt possible!

Whereas this time different because was a bit ill so think we only managed once (maybe twice) around fertile window so it would be a bit of a miracle one hit wonder vs last month where I know we hit multiple good days.

It's all a bit of luck though isn't it, so let's just keep our fingers crossed and our brains zen 😆

How are you getting on @Notawalker? Must be approaching FW/TWW too? Good luck 🍀

Hey everyone, sorry I've been quite it's been a bit manic round here at the min.
@ano24 just entered my fw, got a high reading today so should be ovulating soon. Fingers crossed for you,
@BlueAjah
@BlueAjahgood news on your donor fingers crossed for this cycle

I think if I ovulate when due my AF will 24th so might join you two and stay strong no testing before the 21st x

Hey @Notawalker congrats on the high reading, now go get busy!

Let's check in again later this week maybe, sending positive vibes all round ✨

Ooo, fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for you @Notawalker!

Definitely check in with you both later this week ☺️
Good luck!

Hey all! Back for another TWW.. currently 3DPO. Just caught up with your posts since my last AF came!

So pleased to hear your donor agreed to try again. Fingers cross for you @ano24 and everyone else going back into a TWW

Has anyone used MyOva preconception? Heard about them through a friend they have great reviews but I don't have PCOS so not sure if they're right for me.

Hey @Splishsplashsplosh93 👋 fingers crossed for you too this cycle! Feeling positive?

I've never actually heard of those sorry. I'm just taking the folic acid & vitamin D from Boots for now.

How are you getting on @BlueAjah?

I want to start symptom spotting just for fun really, but at only 7dpo feeling too early still to bother.

Anyone else got any?!

Fingers crossed for you @Splishsplashsplosh93!

@ano24 really trying not to think about it lol 😂 luckily works been a bit hectic so has kept me occupied. I don't want to symptom spot, but it's tempting! How are you feeling?

I've also been checking out all the loyalty cards like boots, nectar etc. I want to be really savvy about where I'm buying stuff if am lucky enough to fall, especially as I'll be on a single income. I love planning so this is good distraction 😂

Hey everyone how we all doing?

@Splishsplashsplosh93 I've not heard of those sorry

@ano24 any symptoms yet? I don't feel like I've had yet but think I'm a couple.of days behind you this time I'm 6dpo today.

@BlueAjah with No1 I found some good deals on online4baby I got a great travel system bundle which with everything it had was a amazing deal (highchair, travel cot, bouncer in deal as well as travel system) I'd Def check it out again if I fall on. I'd recommend Aldi nappies 100% never had any leaks, I did use pampers at start but didn't find them the best and preferred aldi's.

Hiya guys I'm doing fine, zero symptoms though today at 9dpo so not feeling optimistic.

@Notawalker 6po is still early 😊 you feeling hopeful for this cycle?

@BlueAjah any symptoms yet?!

I feel we're due a bit of luck on this thread soon, baby dust to all ✨

We definitely do deserve some luck on this thread!

@Notawalker I've not heard of that site actually, will definitely check it out. I've heard really good things about Aldi nappies and the difference in price to things like pampers is crazy!

@ano24 I've had quite sore boobs for a few days, fading now but even my pj top brushing over them was bad. I'm trying not to read to much into it but am hoping it's a good sign.

@Splishsplashsplosh93 I've heard of them, but never tried them before, I do have pcos so saw them when doing some reading. I've been taking some supplements called ovum, expensive, but has some excellent reviews and suitable for pcos too

@ano24 no symtoms yet, tbh not very hopeful. Will have to see I'm on the older side so know it won't be as easy.

@BlueAjah ohhh that's the main symptom I had with #1 fingers crossed.

I am determined to not test early this time so wish me luck 🤣

@Notawalker I'm so tempted to test 😂 really trying to hold out until at least Saturday. Sore boobs have faded now, but I felt quite queasy this morning at breakfast, telling myself it's my imagination so as not to get too hopeful.

When can you test?

@ano24 it's so hard to try and hold out isn't it? Especially when your getting symptoms. I'm 8dpo today so gonna hold out for another few days yet.

Morning everyone, how you all doing?

I did a test this morning as 10dpo and got a BFN. Has anyone else tested yet?

Hey, I tested yesterday and it was a BFN 🙁 I'm not convinced it was the right time of day etc. I'm also not confident on how many dpo I actually am. I can't use the ovulation strips as I have pcos, so have to rely on physical signs (cm etc).

I'm due on anytime from Sunday so going to test again then but not hopeful.
Really gutted tbh
