We are trying for our second for the first time this month! Currently CD11 - I usually ovulate roughly CD16 or 17 (long-ish cycles) but not sure if it will be that way this month as my body might still be adjusting to coming off the pill. Don’t think we will have energy for DTD every day what with having a toddler as well 😅 but going to focus our efforts to this week! Also have the in laws staying for three nights over my fertile window which is less than ideal haha

I feel you on not having the energy to DTD every day with a small child too, I’m absolutely focusing my efforts on this week/weekend too and hoping for the best. Too tired for anything more 😂 such bad luck you having your in laws staying this week too, what a passion killer 🥴
I’m currently CD9, still showing as ‘low’ on my fertility monitor, hoping it’ll start reading high in the next few days and possibly ovulation at the weekend 🤞🏼

I feel like I’m clutching at straws, probably out this cycle - does anyone actually see something on these? Not FMU.

Sorry @DancingThroughLife02, I can’t see anything on these ones 😔 hoping it’s just my dodgy eyes and that someone else can see it!

Had a weird experience this month and need some help ladies. I had sore boobs and strong nausea this week. Never usually have this.

no positive test but I was three days late so me and the OH were staring to get hopeful. Then today my period has come with a vengeance. Heavier bleed than usual.

Im disappointed obv but this is only month three.

what do you reckon happened. I was so sure something was happening

Hi @BountifulPantryI don’t have any words of wisdom about what might have happened but sorry to hear that, can really understand the disappointment 😞

I am CD17 and still waiting for my LH surge - I’m feeling hopeful it will happen today but it’s normally on CD16 or even a day earlier so getting a bit impatient! Hopefully soon…

how is everyone else getting on?

I know no one is really checking this thread anymore but I just needed to come and vent. I’ve had some crappy luck health wise, caught a sick bug after our holiday in may which caused colitis to flare up which was the entire reason we stopped trying for a baby a few years ago. After being really unwell I’ve been put on steroids and I’m feeling so much better. We haven’t given up trying this time through any of it but this month dtd so much has caused cystitis 😩 I’m so fed up! I’m around 8 dpo and have all the signs AF is coming this month, I’m bloated, pissed off and starving 🤣. Really fed up at the moment and needed somewhere to write it. I hope all of you are having better luck than me. Baby dust to everyone.

that sounds so tough, I’m really sorry to hear it - really glad to hear the steroids are helping though. Will keep my fingers crossed for you :)

We TTC for our first cycle (baby 2) in May. Very sadly it was an ectopic pregnancy and I needed surgery to remove the baby and my left tube 💔 I’m doing much better now but it has obviously been so sad. We can start trying again in a couple of months - I’m so keen to TTC again so I’m hoping maybe in late September/early October, depending on how long it takes for my periods to re-stabilise.

i hope others have been having more luck! Xx

@Saffie920 I’m so sorry you went through that, that must have been absolutely heartbreaking for you.
I hope you don’t mind me sharing but my sister had an ectopic pregnancy while trying to conceive, she went on to have a healthy pregnancy not too long after and I have a little nephew now. I hope this gives you some hope.
Wishing you all the luck and heeling in the world.
