Anybody on or about cycle day 1 and would like to be buddies?

I just turned 30 a week ago, DH is 33, and this is our first cycle TTC! :happydance: How about you? :)
 
Hi hollynesss
Im on CD 2 as the witch came yesterday, im also 30 and dh also 33 and have been ttc since we got married in August. Tried to start by being all relaxed about it but doesn't take long until it's all you think about.
How long are your cycles normally? Be nice if we match up!
 
Hi ladders! Pretty cool that we're the same ages :) My cycles are usually 30-32 days, but this last one was 34. How about you?
 
Usually a 26 day cycle though even now and again I go later just to get my hopes up i think! So are you taking a relaxed approach to your first month or getting straight into the obsession?
 
CD1 here! This will be our third month TTC and I'm trying to keep that sunny upbeat attitude... which will be a lot easier when AF leaves.
 
Hi bookeater welcome to the club! Wish i was keeping the relaxed attitude I'm about two months (feels like years) past that lol. Nice to have another person with us this month
 
Hi hi! CD5 here! I've been trying to be very relaxed about this whole TTC thing but it's impossible. It's my every waking thought. My cycle lengths vary (irregularly irregular....grrr...) and so I'm not sure when I'll ovulate. We've tried a couple times, got disappointed and quit and are now trying again. I am thinking about trying the ovulation predictor tests this cycle. Has anyone had any experience with these? I just don't want to obsess about this anymore than I have to.....
 
Hi ladies! To me we are taking a relaxed approached compared to the many things we could be doing, however some might consider charting and OPKs not very relaxed! Ive been charting for about a year to get to know my cycles, and I started using OPKs about 3 cycles ago. Beyond those two things, we aren't going to try anything else just yet :)
 
Hi everyone.. I'm on cd6.. just started EPO this cycle and hoping for my very first BFP this cycle!!

Hi iv used a couple of types of opks and really like clearblue digital dual hormone ones, I found it quite difficult determining the lines of the non digital ones so this completely takes the guesse work out. Used them for two months first one not as good as getting used to them. (Much better to dip in urine than wee on) last month was able to pinpoint my ovulation really well so was quite gutted when af arrived a few days ago

I really like Wondfos as a non-digital brand. You can get them super cheap on the internet and they are wide with really dark pigment to the coloring. I had been using another brand called ClinicalGuard and they were horrible, I never got a positive on them once. However, the Wondfos give a very clear positive each cycle. The digital ones are fantastic, but they are so expensive! If we don't have any luck by this summer I may switch over to digital.

What day do all of you normally O? For me its CD 16-18, so we'll begin bd-ing around CD13 :) 10 more days!!
 
Normally o cd 12-13 but we think dh has a low sperm count (did a home test a few months ago) so each month try to do a different strategy to bd'ing this month could be a wash out as he's on lates when I'm due to o but have a doctors appointment Friday in first step to getting checked out. Never thought it would be so hard and complicated!

What does EPO do? Congrats on your recent marriage, btw! :flower:

Hi.. suppose to help with fertile cm. I never see EWCM around time of positive opk so trying EPO as last resort before sending hubby for spermcount as I've been for all checkups and tests and everything but no EWCM is in order with me.

Thanks - been waiting a long time to get married to my Greek "god".. :flower:
 
Have you tried PreSeed lubricant? It mimics the consistency and ph of fertile cm :)
 
Hi. (: Dec. 28th was my CD 1, so I'm just one day behind you. My cycles are 24-27 days. We're also about the same age - husbands, too. I'll turn 30 in May, and DH is 34. This is my 3rd cycle TTC, and I just joined the forum today to try to find some people to talk to who are going through the same thing. I'd love to be your buddy. (: :thumbup:
