WTT with a view to TTC in Sept/Oct/Nov - looking for a TTC buddy!

[mazndave]

Hi Ladies,
Hope all is well?

Preshfest, That's 2 down, only 9 more to go!! And I'm sure everything will be absolutely fine. You and MissBroody can be bump buddies now.

Sorry to hear about your worries Sonia, but hopefully everything will be fine and it will be something minor that’s caused the wound (maybe it’s got infected?) It sounds as though it’s all precautionary, so fingers crossed there’s nothing to worry about. Hope you enjoyed your awards ceremony, sounds very swanky! It’s nice to have things like that to take your mind off baby-making! It seems to be all I think about at the minute, I need something to do to keep me occupied until I can next test!

At least I’m now on CD1 again though, yay! Started spotting last night, and this morning AF arrived proper, so bring on cycle number 2! 47 days for cycle 1, who knows how long this one will last?! I’m just hoping that it’s not as long as the last one (or longer!), I haven’t got the patience to wait it out again.
It looks as though I possibly ovulated around CD35 like I thought (when I had what looked like EWCM) so if so, at least I have a LP of around 10-12 days which seems ok.

It’s rubbish not knowing roughly when to expect next O though, it could happen at any time, and I could have a shorter or longer cycle. I wish I’d come off BC much sooner so I could’ve had a more regular cycle to track by now. I’m going to have to presume that it could happen at a more ‘normal’ time, and make an effort to BD every other day from around CD10 right up until AF comes to be on the safe side. This cycle could be very tiring! I may have to invest in some of those cheap OPK’s, even though I promised myself I wouldn’t! At least then I’d have some sort of clue.

What is the stuff that people take to try and shorten their cycles, is it agnus castus? Or is that the one to lengthen your LP? I’d be willing to try something to make this one shorter.

Yay preshfest! Congratulations xxx

 

[almosthere]

Preshfest you seem to be very fertile! Haha CONGRATS! Time to edit my siggy!!!

 

[almosthere]

P.S. confession! I am super jealous but super happy of all the BNB ladies BFPS on threads. Every time I see one I think why not me, why can't my time be now too? But i know it will come when the time is right. I love this thread (it's my fav) so I am EXTRA excited for my buddies to be getting their BFPS so soon, hope it is a lucky thread and we get AT LEAST two more a month!!!! Really hoping for a BFP by end of DEC the very latest! And to avoid early disappointment, think I am going to try my hardest to wait to test until my missed period which is not due until dec 5th or 6th! We will see how long this commitment lasts. Hehe. oh, and today is DH 23rd birthday which reminds me that if I get pregnant sooner than later, I will also be 23 when I have my first bundle of joy, as my birthday is end of june, so it is going to be extra special sharing our birth moment at the same timeline (age wise) in our lives! =)

I was told that Evening Primrose Oil is good for helping to get all your hormones back to normal after taking BCP. I took it for the first month and my first cycle was only 31 days but obviously this may have just been down to luck. Lots of people mention Agnus Castus but I´m not too sure what it´s meant to do!

Have you tried temping instead of using OPKs? Obviously you won´t know when you´ve ovulated until after it´s occurred so you´re still going to have to keep on BDing from cd 10 onwards but once you have ovulated at least you´ll know for sure (and then you can have a rest until AF/BFP arrives!). It´ll take away that element of uncertainty and only knowing when you have "possibly" ovulated.

I don´t want to use OPKs (to avoid getting stressed and obsessed with BDing at the right time) so up to now, thanks to temping I know I have ovulated every month and that I seem to ovulate around cd18.

I think you'll get pregnant quickly. Coming off bcp's can be a tricky thing! At least you're so young, though. You've got time!! Tomorrow I will be 31, so I'm practically ancient in the baby making world lol!

 

[almosthere]

hehe, you are not ancient! 30's is the new mommy age, people will look at me and say how old are you? you are way too young to be having a baby! haha. My goal was to be a young mother my whole life, so I wanted to be a young mom by 22, but at least I may be pregnant then, but 23 when I actually have baby. Hope you have a healthy, NON EP. baby! Keep us updated after your friday doc. visit!

 

[BabyBumpHope]

Huge congratulations to presh

Good luck for your appointment. Hoping everything will be ok for you xx

Good luck to everyone still in their 2WW

I'm hoping December is a lucky month for us

Xx

 

[Soniamillie01]

Ah congrats preshfest - amazing news! So happy to come on here to lovely news!

I'm cycle day 14 and negative opk, it was visible yesterday and today hardly nothing. Ummm wonder what's going on? Might be stress related but maybe on it's way as cm is going that way.

The awards were great, thanks - a very good night x

 

[MissBroody]

Sorry for being AWOL - I'm so tired latley. Thanks for asking after me wahoo congratulations Preshfest Can't wait for everyone in this thread to have their BFP so we can be in the tris together

xx

 

[almosthere]

Hey ladies just a update, my opk got darker today, hoping to OV right on time, the 20th/22nd, somewhere around then! come on sunday come on sunday woohoo! =)

 

[Elz]

Congrats Presh!!

Maz- Yay for AF! lol at least you know where you stand now and you can concentrate on this cycle! Fingers crossed that this is the cycle you'll get your BFP!!

How great would it be if a couple more of us got our BFP's before Christmas?! Even better if we could ALL get one!!

 

[sunshine82]

Hi Ladies hope you are all well

First of all many congratulations to Presh- amazing news!

Sonia- hope you are okay, like you say all precautionary checks and peace of mind im sure that everything will be fine.

Little update for me, well I am now what I think 16dpo (I am pretty sure I ov 2nd November as I had the distinct pains I get- though I am not tracking temping etc so cant be hundred percent sure- especially with my erratic 29-37 day cycles) Well if I am correct in thinking that im 16dpo then this should have been a 29 day cycle- well no af for me- I have had so many symptoms this month, that have pretty much gone, yesterday I had really strong AF cramping but now nothing really! I am sure AF must be just around the corner, pretty much ruled out BFP at this late stage, im sure it would be showing by now so hey ho, suppose I wasnt expecting to be lucky first month. If im defo not bfp then need af to come so I can start afresh for 2nd cycle.

Do you ladies recommend ov tests - its all pretty confusing for me and thought that I would just not temp/ov test and go on my ov pain that is pretty distinctive for me.

Anyway take care and lots of baby dust all round xxx

 

[Soniamillie01]

I would definitely recommend the opk's! I temp as well but am considering stopping as forgot sometimes and opk's are more accurate as so many other things affect temps.

I had a BFP opk today and had some ovulation pain early, unfortunately we haven't been able to bd as much as we had planned to as have been busy with work stuff, late evenings and other things on my mind.

But hoping we've done enough and will bd every day for next three days now.

I'm shattered. Just in from running our annual conference - long day!

 

[almosthere]

Yay for POS OPK Sonia!

And I also recommend OPK's, this way you won't have to stress if you miss a day of BD or just not knowing.

OPK Q for all! I am still getting pretty light lines, although they have been darker the last couple days compared to the three before that. Should I be concerned that they aren't that dark if I am supposed to O around the 21st? Or is it normal to only get close to pos a couple days before a pos OPK? Really worried that I just haven't starting ovulating since coming off bcps, but trying to go with the flow for now and not stress too much!

 

[Soniamillie01]

I would day that's normal, I think you always have a degree of lh in tour urine but it peaks, and peaks v quickly 12-36 hours before ovulation but then dips again just as quick.

If you think it's due 21st it might be worth doing two a day, same time as you normally would and maybe one a little earlier / later depending on when you normally do them so you don't miss it?

 

[Soniamillie01]

Ladies forgot to say this month I've been taking b6, 50mg per day in addition to that within my pre pregnancy vitamins in a hope to extend Luteal phase. One thing it has done is give me AMAZING cervical fluid!

 

[mazndave]

So I'm on day 2 now, wish it would blummin hurry up and get to at least day 10! I think I will have ripped all my hair out with impatience if I have another megalong cycle!!

Seems weird that a few of you are well into cycle 3 by now, and won't be far off testing again. Wish I was on a similar timescale, be fantastic to all get BFP's at a similar time!

Don't think I'll get mine before Xmas now, if I have to wait til day 47 to test it will be something like new year's day! Although thinking about it, that would probably actually be a really cool day to get a BFP!!

I will prob get some of the cheap opk kits that you use, as I can't be doing with second guessing this cycle. I could ovulate earlier than last time and end up waiting ages to test when there was no need, or it could be even longer and I'll test too early and waste my money, and depress myself with bfn's!!

[PreshFest]

Second blood test is in three hours. I'm terrified!!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Presh - how did you get on?
