Anyone on CD2?

[babyfever01]

Just started my cycle yesterday and this is my DH and I's first actual month of TTC. Last month we were NTNP and I have never really been very good at tracking my cycles so I had no idea if they were regular or how long they were.

So I was actually happy to get it yesterday because that means I am pretty regular and have about a 30 day cycle. I doubt many people on this thread are actually happy to get AF but yesterday I was. I am ready to get this show on the road!!

Hurry up next 2 weeks!!

I'm cd 2 (it was pm when it started and some people class that as day after) unfortunately I had a chemical I conceived when I was ntnp an there's a lot to be said for stress I think. Although because of what happened I'll be tracking my cycle because I want to make sure everything's going as it should...

How old are you?

 

[babyfever01]

I am so sorry to hear that.

I am 27 and my DH is 28. We just got married in Oct and would LOVE a spring baby!

How about you?

 

[firstbaby25]

I'm 25 and OH is 28 we are both dying for a baby and ant afford a wedding. I trust that he'll want to do it when we have a baby. When I was pregnant for the 6 days I told him the baby would have my surname until we were married and he was ok with it... As in, confident we'd marry! I'll be 26 in July & I've been trying since November last year...

Id love a buddy this cycle cause it's my first charting in ages and my oh doesn't react well to the stress that me not having people to talk to puts on him

How do you track your cycles? Or you not bothering? Tbh I'd recommend relaxing... It's the only thing in 8 months that got me a bfp

GL this cycle...

I am not really tracking too much. I just track my start date and that is about it. I have some OPK that I am going to try using this month just to narrow it down.

I know, I am really really trying not to think about it too much so I don't stress but it is hard when it is something you want soooo badly!

 

[firstbaby25]

Hi again! I went the doctors today who said that I was pregnant last week but that I am probably on my period now actually, it is only a bit sad...

I know when I start and when I usually O but I might be different this cycle so I'm going to use OPK's and my BBT to make sure everything's going back to normal... He said to do a pregnancy a week & two weeks after and phone him if it's +ive...

So all going well I'm CD 3 of a 28 day cycle and I plan on taking a few things behind the OH's back EPO until O and pre natal bits after O... And I'm going to talk him round to the idea of conceive plus as well that could be fun

How are you?

 

[firstbaby25]

Your OPK's might surprise you as to when you O in your cycle... Some cycles when I was tracking using them, I was CD19 and found out my LP is usually 13 days...

 

[babyfever01]

Oh I am so sorry to hear about your chemical. At least you know you are able to get pregnant I guess! Just keep going!

Yes, I am excited to start taking the OPKs. I don't know what day I will start but I usually have 29-30 cycles so I think I will start on day 9 or 10. Just feel it out for the first month. How fun would it be if we both got pregnant this month!!

 

[babyfever01]

I think I am going to purchase some PreSeed this week too.

 

[firstbaby25]

Yeah I've got to avoid asking myself why because I won't know until (and I hope not) it happens another two times! So I'm onwards and upwards with ntnp! I need to not put too much presure on the oh and consecutive days is out for me... Hence the conceive plus. I read on a thread on here that conceive plus is better you should try and find it!

I go back to work tomorrow wondering how I'll concentrate at first because I'm now back to being a bit obsessed with ttc and it didn't do me or my oh any good! So I need to chillax and know I'm doing all I can...

We both smoke and I'm ok quitting when I find out I'm pregnant and in the past when I quit for ttc he would react real bad to the massive change... So I made a deal today that if I haven't had a sticky by January we'll quit smoking and do 6 more months of trying (making it 20 cycles) and then go the doctors...

 

[babyfever01]

I am totally obsessed with TTC. I try not to talk to DH about it too much because I don't want to turn him off from the idea by obsessing about it. That is why these boards are wonderful!!

We just got married in October and in Jan one of my bridesmaids had a baby, then a good friend had one in Feb, then another bridesmaid in May, then I have another good friend due on the 4th, and another bridesmaid due on Aug 27th. Babies are definitely everywhere I look.

My sister has 3 kids (1 boy and twin girls) so that makes me want it even more!! It is just something I want so badly and that makes me think it won't happen. I know I am overreacting but it is hard to keep the negative thoughts out.

 

[firstbaby25]

I think you are young enough to chill out... You'll get there and it should be before you're 30 which is better than some people on here! If it takes a little while longer an you know you want 2 then you'll have to change your life plan. That's the way I look at it... I got a on the month that I didn't try and believe it or not we only had once! So it does happen... Please try not to stress I think it's a massive factor in your fertility.

Also you mention these boards are great and they are but you see people that (for example) 'have a low temp because of their thyroid' and you get to thinking 'I have low temps...' then you think you have thyroid problems I tend to not read too much out of my depth cause it racks my brain

You found that thread about conceive plus vs preseed?

 

[babyfever01]

No I haven't looked that much into it. I was just going to go with PreSeed because they sell it at the Walgreens by my house. Do you know of any stores that sell it without having to order it online?

How old are you and where are you from? USA?

 

[firstbaby25]

Oh right well it's the other way round here we have conceive plus in boots bit not preseed no I'm from the north of england... Are you in the USA I'll be 26 in july, so still on the right side of 25 are you 27 did you say?

I would advise to get it out your head because although I hope it doesn't and might not even it can take healthy people a year to conceive and when I used to hear that I used to think 'a year!!!' but this will be my 9th cycle and it's flown really...

Just keep busy, you will get one and make the most of your time without one. I'm not one of these people that stops living in the 2ww...

 

[babyfever01]

Yep, I am from the states. I will be 28 and DH will be 29 in October. YIKES!!

 

[firstbaby25]

How you getting on? Waiting to O is another 2ww to me !
