@LucyLou0527 I’m sorry that it’s was bfn but glad you’ve got some clarity now af is here🥰 I’m on CD7 today and af has just finished thank goodness! Got around 9-10 days before ovulation now 🫠

Hi everyone sorry for late replies. @LucyLou0527 I’m so sorry AF was so late for you and you had all that not knowing, really hope you’re ok, I was sad til about day 3 of AF then I started looking forward to the next cycle. You’re one of us again and we can all go through it together 💕💕
CD6 for me today and AF has more or less finished. @owlcat24 same as you we are all so close! Been planning with DH how we will go about it this time to make it as relaxed as possible. Going to start doing opk around day 12 same as you @Emiily887
how’s everyone else doing? I’ve been soo tired haha I blame AF!

Joleyjojo · 30/09/2024 21:31

I had a BFN at 9dpo today. I feel AF is on the way. It was first try after miscarriage so at least I know I am regulating. Look forward to this month and hoping to see many BFP 🤞🏼

Emiily887 · 30/09/2024 21:56

@LuxyLocket bless you, glad af is over for us both! This is the part of the cycle that goes soooo slow until ovulation then soooo slow until the 2ww ends 🫠😂
I’m doing ok, tired aswell but I always am so nothing new there 😂 how’s everyone else?🩷

How is everyone this evening?🫶🏼

LuxyLocket · 01/10/2024 20:44

Doing ok thank you! Have got opk in the Amazon basket in readiness haha going to start dtd from Sunday which is day 12 but I think the opk will help take off some of the pressure as I will know when it’s peak time.
I’ve heard some friends say they felt more pressured using them but I want to give them a go. I actually think it’ll help me feel more like I’ve got it bang on.
how’s everyone else?💕

Pinkflamingo77 · 01/10/2024 22:47

Hey, cycle day 2 here and it was our first time ever TTC last month. TWW already feeling like a weird fever dream of symptom spotting and daily tests. I thought I’d be really sad when AF arrived but I actually feel strangely relieved to have my body back for a couple more weeks. I feel terrible saying that because I know some people want it really badly but I’m finding the whole thing very intimidating. Does anyone else feel like this or am I just abnormal?!

Janey3090 · 02/10/2024 13:02

Hi, can I join? Been trying for baby no 2 for 4 months, and currently on CD15. I don't seem to ovulate every month (blood test confirmed that for DD1) but when I do, usually ovulate on around day 20-21 (30+ day cycles.)

Trying to be hopeful that this month my body will ovulate and we'll have a chance!

Best of luck everyone xx

MyGardenDaisies · 02/10/2024 14:36

hi! I didn’t realise there’s 2 TTC October threads, but joining this one too!

It is day 15 and peak fertility, hoping to complete SMEP this cycle.

LucyLou0527 · 02/10/2024 17:23

CD3 here!

me and hubby have decided he will be taking HCG/clomid this month to boost his fertility and I will also be trying a trigger shot just before expected ovulation🩷

Good! I have them in my basket too! I’m debating trying the clear blue ovulation kit alongside it this month too. I’ll be testing from Saturday🥰
I find it easier to know when I’m ovulating but saying that the month I conceived and had a successful pregnancy with my son was the cycle we didn’t use them🥲 I think that was a huge coincidence though!

OP posts:
Emiily887 · 02/10/2024 18:36

@LucyLou0527 that sounds like a good plan! Hopefully it’ll give you a nice bfp this month after last cycles horrible tests!! Xxx

OP posts:
Joleyjojo · 02/10/2024 18:41

BFN at 11dpo sad as I was hoping to be the pregnant straight after MC success story. But, I need to be grateful my body is regulating. I just want AF to be here so I can get down to business this month! Fingers crossed for lots of October BFP xxxx

Emiily887 · 02/10/2024 18:43

Welcome to everyone that is new on here🩷
@Pinkflamingo77 i don’t think there is any certain way you should feel, so definitely not abnormal! Pregnancy and getting used to your body changing is huge and alot to get your head around even when it’s also all that you want 🫶🏼

@Janey3090 praying for a good ovulation month for you my lovely! That must be so difficult to deal with. I’ve had months where I didn’t ovulate due to my endo and it’s really hard when you feel like the whole cycle is a total write off from around ovulation time. Sending love🩷

@MyGardenDaisies oooo really hope this is a good month for you!! I tried smep for the first month last month, my goodness did it tire us out😂 but I do want to try it again!! Let us know how it goes for you🥰

OP posts:
LuxyLocket · 02/10/2024 18:55

Welcome everyone whose just joined! 🥰

Sorry to hear that @Joleyjojo it’s so hard when you get hopeful straight away, I stupidly got it into my head that we might be able to conceive first cycle after my mc and it was my fault for getting my hopes up. Once AF comes and goes it definitely brings new hope. Wishing you loads of luck and baby dust

@MyGardenDaisies @Emiily887 We also did smep last cycle and we were knackered 😂 going to use opk alongside to try and make sure we’ve got the timing absolutely right. I’ve ordered clear blue 4 fertile day.

excited for all of us this cycle! 🩷🩷I’m trying to keep myself calmer and relaxed this time.

Firsttime2023 · 02/10/2024 19:07

Hi everyone, hoping I can join in. Just had a BFN at 13dpo, AF still isn't here so hoping it arrives tomorrow so I can start a new cycle 🤞🏼
Feel like I need some support on this one it's starting to get really disheartening now 😢

Hopeful we will see lots of BFPs in this group this month 💕

MyGardenDaisies · 02/10/2024 19:23

@LuxyLocket I am using the Clear Blue 4 day digital too.
I really hope for a positive this cycle, if not then next month I think we will just try every other day as SMEP is tiring and don’t want it to feel like a chore.

MyGardenDaisies · 02/10/2024 19:24

@Firsttime2023 sorry to hear! How many cycles have you been trying?

LuxyLocket · 02/10/2024 19:39

@Firsttime2023 I was literally like this before AF came last cycle so I know completely where you’re at 😢it’s an emotional rollercoaster. I promise promise you’ll feel a bit better once it comes and goes and we’ll all look after you on the next cycle together. It does get disheartening when you want it so much. It’s so hard isn’t it. Hugs 💕

@MyGardenDaisies Absolutely this!

HA22 · 02/10/2024 19:49

Hello all, trying for DC2 (DS is 2). This will be our first month and we are so excited. Fortunately, we conceived on our first try wish DS so we’ll see if that’s the case this time. Currently CD9 with AF coming to an end soon. Will start opks on CD12. I did them last time and found it so fun - anyone else? I hope we all got BFPs this month and have our summer babies! x
(side note - i am really interested in connecting with someone else in the same boat as me, preferably trying for second child who i can msg daily as no one in my personal life is that interested in how many DPO i am (25f) x)

Luckypinkduck · 02/10/2024 19:57

I am doing the clear blue ovulation tests this month. I have been debating whether it adds more stress but more information feels better!

MyGardenDaisies · 02/10/2024 20:02

@HA22 Im exactly like you with 1st baby made 1st cycle and now TTC nr 2 (2nd cycle).

there is another thread for TTC nr 2 :)

feel free to message me!

MrsS11 · 02/10/2024 20:05

@Pinkflamingo77 I think it's really normal to feel like that, I remember crying in my car when pregnant with my (very much wanted) oldest because I just felt so overwhelmed by how taken over my body felt. Honestly, having a baby is very like that too, because they just physically need your presence in order to feel safe. But living with all of that comes gradually and if course it still passes eventually!

Welcome @HA22 🥰
Also cd9 and I am trying for our 3rd! My daughter is 7 and was a very welcomed surprise so I didn’t have any of this with her! My son is 2 and it took us 14 months to conceive him with multiple mc along the way.
On cycle 8 now ttc our third🩷 everyone on this thread is so lovely, from first time mums to people trying for their 4th so there really is no judgment here🥰
Some of the ladies on here came over from the thread we had last cycle and I know @LuxyLocket @LucyLou0527 @owlcat24 @MrsS11 and everyone else (sorry if I missed you off) will vouch for how helpful and supportive it was so I really hope it’s the same this month🩷

Thanks ladies, decision made I’ve ordered clear blue ovulation tests aswell as the cheapies 😂
