Hello! Another thread for our TTC ladies 🙂

Congratulations to all the positives in the last thread ✨♥️

Thought it might be nice for everyone to reintroduce themselves?

I’m 31 and have been with my partner for nearly 7 years. It’s hard to put a timeframe on how long we’ve been trying 🤣 we discussed it in March 2021 and agreed to start trying in October but basically started trying in March? 🤣 haha! The main problem is my partner works away a lot of the time so it’s difficult.

I’m currently in my TWW - AF due 31st Jan.

Some acronyms -

DTD - do the deed/have sex

AF - aunt flo

TTC - trying to conceive

OPK - ovulation prediction kit

BFN - big fat negative

BFP - big fat positive
 
What does tww mean?
I’m 37 soon. Only off the pill since before Christmas and just seeing what happens for now. I have been following the apps just to get a feel for it
 
I'm 34, married 8 years. We have a 5 year old boy. Before I had him I went through a molar pregnancy, and in November last year I had an early miscarriage on our 8th cycle of trying.

We've started again after having a regular period as advised. I think I'm out this month, but I didn't order the ovulation tests in time around Christmas and all the bank Holidays, so there was some guess work involved.
 
Sorry I should have put more acronyms!

CD is cycle day
DPO is days post ovulation

Can’t think of any others!

I’m 4DPO why do I feel guilty for having a glass of wine tonight?! I know it’s dumb. I’m worried it’ll potentially affect a potential implantation. But I really want a cold glass of white wine on a Friday.

Have it! 1 glass won't harm you, everything in moderation! You don't want to deprive yourself and stress yourself out, that'll be worse

You’re right! Plus it’s not as if I’m a binge drinker! Surely a glass of wine does nothing?

I think when it takes a while to conceive you start blaming yourself!

I’ll enjoy my guilt free wine (or 2) 🍷🍷
 
Plonking myself here on the thread if that's ok ladies 🙂

29, married to himself for almost 3 years and we have been planning to start TTC at the end of this month. I'm due my period on Sunday according to the Flo app (I've used it for the last two years just to track my cycle because I've a memory like a goldfish 😂). We are also starting the process of building a house and I'm half way through a masters degree. I'm excited to start trying but also very nervous about it because I can be quite anxious and I think it will take a toll on me mentally. Himself is very excited and keeps saying things like "sure that will be us in no time" if we see a family out somewhere or something along those lines. I keep trying to tell him it won't happen straight away and will probably take at least a year just to try and contain his excitement a wee bit.

Sorry for this mammoth post and look forward to joining you ladies on this journey!
 
So Im 7DPO into my TWW. I had a miscarriage Christmas day, still haven’t had a period yet but I started doing OPKs and I got positives on Jan 12th and 13th so I’m assuming I ovulated on the 14th. Due period on 29th. Does anyone have experience with pregnancy after miscarriage with no cycle in between? Id read you’re more fertile after miscarriage but not sure if that’s wishful thinking. Im honestly driving myself insane wanting to take tests even though I know its far to early. Symptom spotting too even though I know its far to early 🤣. The struggle is real!

I became pregnant right after my mc and before my next cycle! No idea different my ovulation was as I don’t track it. But it is possible!! I also (that time round) was testing negative up until the day of my supposed due period but I just knew I was pregnant again as I felt different, don’t let a negative test tell you otherwise!
 
Hi, I’m 33 nearly 34 and got married 5 years ago. We only really started trying mid last year because if hadn’t felt ready. But suddenly ALL of my friends have babies, some have 2. One had her first last week and she was my last child free friend. I’ve just seen that another friend has announced her u with her second. I just feel like I’ve left it too late, I’m going to regret never trying earlier like my OH wanted too. I hate every month my period comes like I’m a big fat failure and I don’t even know if we’re doing it right to conceive 🤪😂
 
Ahh I think I’m out already, I’m getting my period boobs. Due in a week. Just feel like this definitely isn’t my month, I just know.

Already thinking about trying next month and the month after
