Hello! I am new to ttc (3rd month) and I would love to join ladies! I'm 28 and husband is 30. I'm on cd13, but have long cycles usually around 32 days. I'm charting, but I feel like it might be off with my actual ovulation.. Suggestions?!

Welcome Ttcbabyb!

Sounds like we are in quite a similar situation. I am 28 and DH is 30, I am on my 2nd cycle with cycles usually lasting around 34 days.

I am using the Clearblue fertility monitor, I find it really helpful. Easy to read and cant really do it wrong just POAS. Are you using a bbt to chart?

Ttcbabyb - temping is nice because its the only way to actually confirm if you ovulated. You can get a + opk test but it doesn't always mean that you ovulated, my doctor suggested I try temping for a few months to confirm. She also said that you can get a +opk one time in ur cycle and then get another one later. You should take notes of other signs like EWCM and see if it matches up. The fertility friend app has been so helpful for me this month (first time trying it).

Good luck!! i'm 4dpo and feeling pretty hopeful this month

Hi all

Im currently TTC for #1 too!! I am 29 and my boyfriend is 31. I was on the pill for 10/11 years until the end of Feb this year. I stopped taking them and we were casually trying at first.

Last month i decided to start using the Clearblue ovulation test kits which i found helpful in pin pointing my specific days. I havent tried taking my temp yet.

I did start to take Pregnacare Conception vitamins but i read a few things online which put me off. Has anyone had any experiences with them?

I read how they were messing with some womens cycles and they werent showing up as ovulating on tests whilst taking them. 2 days after i stopped taking them i got my 1st positive ovulation reading. Im not sure if it was just a coincidence or if they were having any affect as it wasnt until my 24th day.

Im looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing our experiences.

Good luck to you all x

Congrats on ttc! Its so exciting and scary. I was on bc for about the past 7 years this is my first cycle off. Im not taking any ovulation tests just hoping my o is somewhere in the middle & ill catch it lol. How were your cycles after first stopping bc?? Ive never heard of conception vitamins but i do take prenatals. I heard the most important vitamin to have while ttc is folic acid.

Hi and congrats on TTC too

I noticed my cycles weren't too crazy after coming off BC, I've gone from the 21 day cycle on the pill to roughly 28 days now. I only tried the ovulation tests last month, I think I'll buy more again for this month. I want to try taking prenatals but I'm worried what I can take etc. I don't know whether it's better to just buy some or to go docs x

 

[Offbcafter7yr]

If you can go to the doctors then that would be great. Id love to hear what they say If you cant id focus on getting a folic acid vitamin at least. I take prenatals that have folic acid. I figure it cant hurt. If i dont conceive in 3 cycles or so ill probably move on to other options like you have. I have a phone app that tells you when you ovulate & when you should do the bd lol. Not sure how acurate it is but reviewers said it helped!!

Did you wait for a regular cycle after stopping bc before ttc?

Where are you at in your cycle this month?? Af should be here around the 24th for me

Hi!
I am 27 and am also TTC. I went off the pill 2 months ago, and am now 2 days late for my period, but I did a pregnancy test yesterday, and it was negative

 

[swimmyj1]

Andi05 - its not abnormal for your cycle to be a little off a few months after going off bc my second or third cycle ended up being like 41 days. Hasn't happened sense then. but hopefully you just implanted late and will get your BFP!

I tested today 9dpo and BFN but i know thats still kinda early. But good news we get to go to my husbands Semen analysis this week yay!!

Hey guys, I'm pretty new here also! Came off bcp in February. I'm 26 and DH is 30! My cycles have been pretty regular between 28 and 30 days except for one 35. I'm on cd1 right now and this is my first month that I'm temping, maybe I can confirm when I'm actually ovulating! Good luck to everybody

Hey ladies! I have been TTA since October. Happy to announce that we are now TTC!!!!!!! But in my journey TTA, i have learned so much about my body with tracking fertility. I have been checking cervix position, cervical fluid and charting my temperature! I am hoping all this knowledge will help hubby and I get that BFP! If anyone has any questions about charting fertility signs let me know!

I am currently on CD 2 of the 1st cycle trying. Hopefully AF will leave soon so we can get this show on the road!
