Hi all ☺️ I am now starting Cycle 6 TTC baby number one. I know some of us on January thread said it would be good to set up a Feb thread so thought i’d start it.

I should be ovulating around 17-18th so will be testing on 1st Feb!

You’ll have to just be extra efficient 😂 if my mum knew it was my fertile period I think she’d go home and tell me to get on with it 😅

That’s true, hopefully all the little tips on the podcast help us🤞 I also joined the podcast’s facebook group but I think it’s made me worry about things unnecessarily so I might come off of it!

Yeah I might try and convince DH to start some efficiency tomorrow on day 9 just incase I ovulate early so we've at least had a shot!! Theres no way I am telling my mother in law it's my fertile period 😅

Good thinking, what day do you usually ovulate on? Haha yeah true telling my MIL would be a bit different 😂

I don't know! I always have this issue of early and confusing EWCM so I am using OPKs this month for the first time. I started with them yesterday I've just got the easy pink clear blue ones that just show a smile on the day it detects the LH increase

Ooh well let us know how you get on with OPKs, you might be surprised when you do get that LH peak! I’ve used those clear blue ones before and find them quite good.

I've started the clear blue 4 day ones this month, the Premom line ones where starting to stress me out trying to work out if lines where darker or not. Decided a simple yes or no might be better 😂

I was in a charity shop today with my 18yo daughter and she was telling me that one of her friends accidentally found out they where expecting a boy (she has two pregnant friends atm)

The lady at the till blew her mind telling her that not only could they not have scans and find out the sex in her day, they also didn't have pregnancy tests or track periods so they often didn't know for the first few months that they were expecting! Was thinking that that would be bliss 😂

Is anyone else due AF this weekend? I'm due on Sunday and can't decide when to test. Meant to be meeting a friend on Thursday eve so I might test first thing tomorrow or Thurs morning so at least if I'm out I can have a guilt free glass of wine!

Anyone worried about cramping...with my first baby I had the worst period pain before a BFP, so bad I got my GP to do me a repeat prescription of mefenamic acid, was sure I was about to have the worst period. Apparently it's quite normal and is just everything "stretching" to accommodate the embryo.

I’m glad you said this about cramping, I was just about to come on here and ask if anyone else is having cramping, mines been bad but on and off, swore I was going to start af, it was due today, still nothing, tmi but very wet down there lol xx

That does sound like bliss 😂 that must mean though that any early pregnancy symptoms they had must not have been too bad? It makes you wonder!
Doctors’ advice back then was very sketchy though. My nana was suffering from what we now know would have been post-natal depression and Dr’s advice was just to have another baby 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi everyone hope its okay to join! cycle 2 TTC#2 here! cd18 and absolutely no idea how accurate my app is for tracking ovulation as my cycle does vary from 23-31 days! According to app I dtd on ovulation day and 2 days prior, AF not due until 8th feb!! feels so long

Lemoncello823 · 28/01/2025 18:10

Some advice needed please. My ovulation tests from the past few days. Would you say I ovulated yesterday or today? (Probably somewhere in between maybe). I’m not sure how to interpret. I assume my LH is going down now as that means I’ve ovulated (🤞)

I think you ovulate 24-36 hours after your peak, so It looks like you ovulate today! If thats the case we're cycle-twins☺️

Oh ok thank you. I wasn’t sure to take it as today or tomorrow 🙈 aww nice to have someone at the same stage. Although this tww is horrible 😭

BerrieSweet · 28/01/2025 19:02

@Lemoncello823 Ikr😩 I'm so excited this TWW tho because I just have a feeling this could be the cycle 🥹 The dissapointment is gonna be real tho if it's not 😂

Yes simple answers was my strategy - you're around cd8 too aren't you?
I've started using them as not sure when I ovulating but assuming I won't get a smiley for a few days yet!

Mumzydarling12 · 28/01/2025 19:09

carolinep3 · 28/01/2025 19:26

I ovulated yesterday or early this morning I think, my temp went up this morning, but strips still dark but not positive.
I'm having bloods done for progesterone next Monday so actually excited to be able to see if i actually ovulated and everything is okay with that!

becksxx · 28/01/2025 19:26

Is anyone else CD27 or around the same? My flo app said AF due today but no sign just yet but done a clear blue test and negative so looks like I’m going to be onto the next cycle (this was my first cycle trying for baby number 3) x

Mumzydarling12 · 28/01/2025 19:29

@BerrieSweet @Lemoncello823 keep me updated! ☺️ when will you be testing do you think? crossing fingers for everyone this month! ☺️x

BerrieSweet · 28/01/2025 19:32

@Mumzydarling12 I'm an early tester 😂 I don't expect anything before 8-12 DPO but will probably start at like 6 DPO just because of impatience 😂 When do you think you'll start testing?😍

Lcc5261 · 28/01/2025 19:43

My app is saying ovulation will be tomorrow, so I’m not far behind you ladies! X

Mumzydarling12 · 28/01/2025 19:43

@BerrieSweet i used to be an early tester but all the negatives were driving me crazy!! 🤯😂. I waited last month and was 4 days late, I then took one and it was finally positive! But unfortunately it turned out to be a CP. I’m already telling myself not to test early…. However I may test on the 10th of Feb as it’s my birthday then and AF is due on the 11th….. so I may get a wonderful birthday present… or just be in a mood on my birthday? 🤔🤣 keep me updated with the early testing ☺️
