CD1 - who's with me

[sellingupslow]

Hi!

Just hoping for some company as I start again on CD1 today!

I'm ttc baby 2, this is my second cycle trying! My daughter took just under 12 months to conceive so I'm hopeful I can get pregnant a bit quicker this time, especially as my daughter is already 4.

This month I'm taking proceive max, high dose Omega 3, and CoQ-10 and hoping to achieve 10,000 a day to help with obsessing less 😂

Promised myself this cycle I will. Not. Test. Early 🫣

Last cycle was 25 day cycle, I'm usually between 25 and 28 days! Tracking BBT and using OPKs ☺️

CD7 for me still spotting a little, think I will start testing from CD9 too.
I’ve been doing reformer pilates last few weeks to keep active.

I'm doing ok thanks ❤️ I'm very crampy today and exhausted. Could be a total coincidence though. I'll test at the weekend if I haven't got my period by then 👀

Well done for going back to the gym 😍 how did it feel? I need to go back too. Wish there were more hours in the day 😂

Hey ladies!

How is everyone?

@Bb542 how are you? How many dpo are you now?

Hello Ladies

How are you all? Are you ready to start OPKs soon? I'm CD7 today so I think I'll start tomorrow.

Life update is a bit dispiriting: my partner is scheduled for semen analysis next week (which we waited for months and can't be rescheduled easily) and it will likely totally interfere with our TTC naturally efforts! Apparently you have to abstain for at least 48 hours before the test... which is right in the middle of the fertile window!

So I'm hoping for early ovulation and that we will manage to dtd at least reasonably close to it early in the fertile window... but I'm trying to reconcile myself that this month the timing just won't work out.

Will do all the tracking I planned though, at least I'll have a better reference for next month.

Hi All,
CD10 for me, started opk yesterday. Both yesterday and today the test line was about 50% colour so hoping I’m ovulating fairly soon.
@Happibara we had the same issue couple months back, we only managed to dtd the day after the test and that was the only time in the fertile window however that did end in a bfp so hopefully you get one chance as that’s all you need sometimes!

Hi lovely. I'm 8dpo today. I tested this morning and it's negative 💔 I've had positives before at 8dpo so I'm a bit gutted but hopefully I'm still in with a chance 🙏🏼 how are you doing?
@Happibara I hope it all works out for you this month but it's good that you are doing some investigations. It'll all work out ❤️
@Henski sounds like you are getting close to ovulation 🤞🏼

Thank you @Bb542 ! I'm actually very pleased we've finally reached the point when we're getting checked, and if it doesn't work out we'll just try again next month.

I would not worry about a negative today - statistics show 85 percent implantations happen at 8-10 DPO, and only around 5 percent at 6-7 DPO. So it's entirely possible implantation is just happening or will in the next two days; and then your endocrine system must react and produce enough HCG to show on test... so actually 8 DPO would be extremely early for a BFP.

Are you planning to test daily, or just wait a few days?

Aw I'm glad you're doing well and that you're getting checked too. We're starting investigations into recurrent miscarriage too so I know how you're feeling. Hopefully we'll both get lucky soon ❤️

I don't have any more tests at the moment but I've ordered some on Amazon and hopefully they'll arrive tomorrow 🤞🏼 so yes, I'll probably test every day 😂 even though I promised myself I wouldn't. But I actually need to start progesterone and aspirin as soon as I find out I'm pregnant so I'm probably better off testing early x

Hello!
May I join? I think I’m a day behind you, I’m CD5 today. We’ve been TTC our second living baby since February - had a MMC in March and two CPs the following two cycles and now nothing seems to be happening! I have 24-27 day cycles. I’m just struggling mentally with the disappointment each month, especially when it used to be so easy to conceive!

I'm not sure what to look for, if you have any suggestions that would be great! Peak ovulation test this afternoon but only CD8 which is early for me.

Hey everyone!

I'm CD8 today and did my first OPK, it seems pretty dark for cd8!

How are you all doing?

I think the medicine you're looking for is any cough syrup with Guaifenesin in it, I think Benilyn is the one you need!

Hi again,
I’m CD7 and AF has just about disappeared. I’ve bought a Fertilily cup to try this cycle and hope it helps. Not sure on the dark ovulation tests I’m afraid, I guess just keep testing and see what happens!

@sellingupslow

They look like good OPKs! Sending baby dust to you.
I had a peak OPK yesterday and a strong OPK today. I've had a lot of cramping and back pain so I think I may have ovulated today. EWCM yesterday so fingers crossed this is the cycle!🤞🏼✨

Great thanks! I'm going to pick some up tomorrow. Should I take it until AF is due?x

@amichel nice dark line!! What CD are you today again? Keeping everything crossed for you 🥰

Noo so the cough syrup you take before ovulation, it's only supposed to help thin out cervical mucus. Keeping everything crossed for you that this is your month, but if not, you'd take it 3/4 days before you think you're going to ovulate and then stop on the day of or day after ovulation!

I'm CD 10 today. Thank you and the same for you! Dreading the TWW already😅

Ohhh I see! I think I was getting confused with baby aspirin as I think that's one to take after ovulation.
I conceived last month without taking anything however it was a chemical pregnancy, so hopefully it'll be good news this month.
I had symptoms last month that were very unusual for me. Acid reflux and heartburn the day before BFP, I had hot flushes two days before BFP. I'm hoping those symptoms return x

Morning guys, CD 13 today. All my opk for the last 5 days have been 50% colour, annoying. Defo haven’t ovulated as BBT is still low. It is my first cycle after miscarriage so maybe that’s why it’s delayed.

Morning all.
Mine have been so low for the past 4 days. This morning (CD15) to my surprise I have my first high OPK and a static smiley! Was not really expecting it to be so sudden. Not sure we've done it enough as DTD only CD11 and CD14, and again tonight hopefully. We did it a lot more on the lead up to it with our first baby, but should be the important days covered🤞

Hi! Am I okay to join. I am currently CD12. This is my first month of trying to conceive baby number 2!

Very similar to me @HelloItsMeAgainHello ! This is my first month trying for our second! CD15.
Welcome😃

@Tadpolecat how long did it take for baby 1. I got pregnant on cycle 2 with number 1 but I don't think it's gonna be that fast this time

@HelloItsMeAgainHello i fell on my first cycle with our son. I feel the same as you. I think we were lucky and it probably won't happen first time again, but who knows! Doing exactly the same so 🤞 . I'm turning 34 during my 2 week wait! How old is your first?

@Tadpolecat he is 2. I think when you fall pregnant so fast the first time if you don't the second time it can be panicking. Which is why I'm hoping support will help. How old is your son?

@HelloItsMeAgainHello yes, I get you! Mine is 2yrs 8 months

Hi All, how’s everyone doing? CD 16 and still waiting to ovulate, feel like it’s going to be a long cycle !

Hi everyone! im CD12 and got my positive OPK this morning

@Henski fingers crossed for a positive opk soon for you!!

I've had very little ewcm so not feeling really hopeful though
