Thank you for this! I know I will be using this site a lot as I TTC! Hoping this goes quickly, mom was super fertile, so does this help my odds? Do genes play into fertility? Or is it very individual?

This is the 1st month my husband and I are ttc. He is going to be out of town on my predicted ovulation date. Hopefully the day before is going to still be good!!! Trying not to get my hopes up. At least the practice is fun!!

Hi ladies, BD to all! This month feelings little crazy but in a happy anxious way! Lts start by saying I have an average cycle of 34 days, for the past 3 months they have been day 40 to 44.. Last month PD jan 20- 27 the 28th hubby and I did the deed... According to my phone where I tract everything I ovulated on the 31st, that day I felt slight pain on my left side! The 6th of Feb my stomach felt achy, then on the 7th I spotted pinkish thinking my period was coming on which would make it a 19 day cycle:/! The 8th was a brown spotting and 9 nothing at all... Today is the 10th and I'm excited to find out but don't wanna get my hopes up being I have long cycles sometimes. I experienced a bloated feeling also burning sensation some type pointy stinks in my boobs, cravings for sugar, not sleepy but wanna lay down. My next period is not expected till march 4th: cycles past months- 36 35 36 40 12 43 46 42

Hello, I am brand new to this site, but I have been TCC since July 2011. I am 31 and DH is 36. It is all getting a bit horrible now. I never thought it would take this long and each month seems a bit harder and more painful than the last. I am looking forward to getting to know some lovely ladies on this site.

 

[Satine]

Hey EmHart I'm new too and am also 31

Joined the site for some moral support and to meet people also trying to concieve.

Baby dust to everyone

 

[EmHart]

Hi Satine, how long have you been trying? I am entering month 8, oh joy.

 

[Satine]

Well I haven't been on the pill for over a year but we weren't properly trying, so we have started properly trying this month.

Fingers crossed for you hun, loads of luck

 

[EmHart]

Well, I have my fingers crossed that your journey is shorter than mine. I will look forward to hearing how it goes the next couple of days!

 

[Satine]

thankyou, yes will let you know

Hi EM Hart,

I am 26 DH is 29 we are just starting the TTC journey. Had IUD removed in OCt and we were NTNP until this past month which is when I started using the clearblue digital OPK test kits. I think I have just started my TWW hoping that this month is the month. it is the month of love and all :O)

Hey girls im back after a long time away me and OH decided to not chart our months etc.. we still dont have our BFP yet but things seem to be a lot less stressful. I think now we are still wanting a baby but we arent trying not protecting, how are we all doing has there been any BFP's since i left in august last year? Hope to speak to you all soon ladies x

Hi everyone!! Also TTC after 3 MC, 2 due to IC at 15w & 22w, found a very supportive thread (on CERCLAGES) on here for anyone who might be going thro this>> (https://www.babyandbump.com/gestati...ix-stitch-cerclage-threatened-labour-354.html).

Also have PCOS, currently seeing RE for fertility treatment (provera & clomid), currently in the TWW but with PCOS, TWW may have to mean THREE week wait instead.

Kay-welcome back. It's definitely a while from Aug'11 up until now. How long TTC & are you on fertility treatment? Are u seeing a RE?

Shout out to everyone else TTC, may we all clank glasses in celebration of BFP sooner than we think
