[Lila34830]

Follow up form TTC BABY #1 - cycle buddies.
For all the girls trying to conceive their first baby !

@littlebluu don't worry too much about CM I heard not every woman gets it ? (The amount of times we say " I heard " " I read " 😂)

@KT199 tell me about it !

Keep us updated girl ! 🤞🏼

@Fashionlover123 have you tested again or just left it ? Might be worth checking one last time with a pink dye test but only if you can take it psychologically of course 🫶🏽

Girls, looking for a bit of advice. And it's also tmi (of course) :
I'm due to rise tomorrow and peak Saturday. We DTD last night, and this afternoon I had LOADS of CM, but no LH peak/rise yet. So then I drove myself mad being like could it be sperm coming back out ? (Sorry it's tmi but surely I must be the only one who ever asked herself this ? 😂)
I am planing on DTD tomorrow, and then Sunday, would it be enough, if ovulation is Sunday/monday ? Basically I'm doing one day not the other... thanks 🙏🏼

I've definitely noticed CM being there before all this ttc stuff, I just never really knew why it was happening and just put it down to hormones etc, but now when I'm waiting for it to happen it's stopped coming 😅😅

And dw @Lila34830 I've been on here with the most random TMI questions too 😆 but as ive learned it's a totally safe space 😁 I also have my concerns about my body not keeping everything contained so I know exactly how you feel 🤯

I’ve done quite a few tests today, feel like I’m driving myself insane. Just gunna do one a day until AF now x

@Fashionlover123 yes, take a break and see what happens, I feel for you it must be so upsetting, hang in there xxx

@littlebluu oh don't worry, i had cm every single months for years and the first 2 ttc cycles I had none 😂 typical !!! This is the first cycle I have some. But who knows whether it will help 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh girls it’s a rollercoaster isn’t it! 🩷

Poor @Fashionlover123 I really feel for you! I think if I was about 5 days late then I was like you, I was also having very unusual cramps (never have cramps). Completely convinced something happened but I don’t want to start testing in the TWW otherwise I’ll literally send myself delulu.

@littlebluu I’m so the same with my husband 😂 I do really love him but omg I’m already dreading limbering up on a Tuesday night after my board meeting all day next week 😂😂😂 it’s just not shrieking sex goddess

what is this about CM?! Not last month but the month before (we were actually on holiday, I didn’t track ovulation but ended up getting a uti then ended up going on xxxxl strong American antibiotics 😂 omg) anyway I had insanely sticky CM! I’d never noticed it before. Is that ovulation?! assuming so - more art than biology over here

sending love and fairy dust ✨✨ I hope this is everyone’s month xx

Hi @Toppstileslover ! You made me laugh with the DTD post board meeting 😂 honestly mid week after a long day I'm the same, we tried to make it romantic but honestly ... 😂

I never heard of antibiotics giving cm ! (Rather the contrary !!) so I'd say it was ovulation ? What cycle day were you ? That being said I currently have cm but my LH is low. Driving me insane 🫠

@Lila34830 defo think that will be enough DTD, you can do everyday if it makes you feel better but as long as you’ve covered some days in the build up your in with a chance regardless!!

CM is such a one, I notice I have loads more if I drink loads of water so I make sure I make an extra effort to be super hydrated that week!

also, I was literally on here the other day asking when we should DTD so don’t worry about that 🤣🤣

I actually find it hilarious how open we all are, because I can tell you now there is no one else I am messaging telling them when me and my OH are DTD 🤣🤣🤣 but on here I have no shame!

@Toppstileslover when I got a UTI 1st month TTC I had SO MUCH CM after in my TWW (literally thought I was pregnant cause there was so much), but I think it was all the water I was drinking to try flush the horrendous thing out! Could it be the same for you?

@KT199 sometimes I wonder if any of us know eachother in real life lmao. Would be funny. I deffo don't tell anyone else when I DTD 😂
100% upping my water intake from tomorrow as I've been slacking !

HAHAHA!! Oh my gosh, IMAGINE 😂😂😂 that would be hilarious. Comes out on a bottomless brunch.. I’d be like NO WAY?! 😂🤣

Morning gals, I hope you're good ? (Happy Friday 🩷). No LH rise for me yet, getting frustrated but it's FMU so maybe I need to wait ...

Morning lovely!! Happy Friday!!! How are you doing? What cycle day are you? Isn't it so frustrating waiting for that rise!!! Those strips I was using gave a different result from the clear blue one! Got my peak a day before on the CB compared to the poundland strips so who knows this month! I'm so tired 😂😂😂😂😂

@slothbat how are you ??
I'm CD18, on a 33 day cycle, so usually today is a rise, tomorrow a peak !
But I just checked last month (I'm cycle 3) it only rose from 10 am ! So I guess I'm good to test all day today 🤣
When did you DTD ?? Did you leave it or had an emergency session after the Poundland strips 😂

Yeah it's mad how you can be negative in the morning and then just peak randomly through the day! I've never had a peak with FMU only in the afternoon or evening.
We DTD everyday from Saturday to Wednesday- has my peak Tuesday but who knows? I had a bit of CM on the Wednesday then Thursday did another OPK test and was negative so hoping I ovulated on the Wednesday!
Just feel in limbo again with the TWW!! Xx

@slothbat I think you DTD more than enough !!! So you're not in the 2WW!!! I've got everything crossed for you 🪨🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
I know right ! I'm the same, I think it's because lH builds up during the day ? Or so I've heard

Ah I hope so! I know this is only month two but I'm tired 😂😂😂 tired of "having" to DTD and constantly peeing on a stick 😂😂😂 the past few months I've realised that all the symptoms I get are just my normal AF symptoms so going to try hold of testing until I'm due on! It confused me this month as started spotting early on day 26! Key to this month! DONT BUY ANY TESTS 😂😂😂😂😂

@slothbat no honestly I feel you. I'm cycle 3 and I'm already annoyed, not so much at waiting but more at all the ovulation tests, all the planned intercourse and how it doesn't feel natural, but at the same time, with 4 fertile days a month, how can we not plan ?! When people say " we didn't try " it baffles me lol

Welcome to the TWW @slothbat!! Got to be some BFPF this month 🪨. Got my fingers crossed for all of us 🤞. I’m 4DPO and not sure I’ve got willpower to not test at all, but hoping I’m strong enough to wait until 10DPO this month not cave at 8DPO 😂. I see loads of people getting positives at 10-12DPO so hopefully that’s a reasonable wait and I normally have a 12 day luteal phase with spotting on day 12 so!

@Lila34830 I normally peak with either second morning or around 5pm.

With both of you around the tiredness!! I’m so over all of this 🥲 just give me a positive already 🤣

Morning @KT199 ! You're right , surely one of us gotta be positive this month !! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🪨
About to test on second wee of the day ... shall let you know 😂

Fingers crossed!! Nothing worse than feeling like you’ve over done DTD too early trying to forward plan this fertile window 😂

Well girls, still no LH surge for me 😔 but I'm not losing hope, last cycle peak was day 19 so tomorrow. Hopefully I start rising tonight 😭

How random are bodies! Never doing what we expect! Hoping for your surge for you!!

does anyone track bbt? I don’t know if my bbt rise after ovulation is wrong, it’s always very slow (I’ll attach a pic) when I see other people’s charts the temp rises fast

Hey ! Looks fine, I’ve attached mine and it’s really similar
