Ladies I had removed myself from ttc for a while due to a few different things going on and for the last few months have been casually NTNP but here I am once again, a week into a 2ww and driving myself mad symptom spotting - even though in the previous pregnancies I've had, I had zero symptoms, none. A week of crazy dreams/restless sleep which is unusual for me, and some seriously sore and puffy gums which is also very random. It's gonna be a long week 😩
I’m 6DPO & I’ve had nothing to note but I’m sleeping terribly too. I’ve read ppl saying they had the puffy or sore gums though! I wonder what causes that.

My fertile window begins tomorrow but i’m so not feeling it this week. Work is mega busy (I work in large scale events) and I just cannae be arsed lol 😴
So tempted to just DTD once or twice as opposed to every single night.

We have our donor coming on Sunday which I know is too early as I'll only be CD8 but we are away from Monday for a week so we will miss my predicted ovulation date. Fingers crossed I ovulate very early this month.

Have you tried any of the OPKs? I always ovulated later than my predicted date. X
 
I'm finding TTC quite draining now, we're on our sixth month of trying, which I know isn't that long in the grand scheme of things, but everyone around us seems to have conceived quickly with no issue (lots of friends having two kids just under 2 years apart!) I feel like I'm in limbo every month, not pregnant but also having to restrict alcohol just in case I might soon be. Anyway, just felt like a little rant/whinge - sympathy to everyone else going through it!
Im with you here! We’re on our sixth month too. The TWW window of restrictions plans “just incase”. My husband is on nights this weekend during my fertile window too so that adds extra stress 🤦🏼‍♀️

Felt really nauseous last night and this morning I'm only 6 days post ovulation so too early for anything that way. Hope everyone else is doing ok? X

Fingers crossed for good news! I'm CD7 and just feel miserable, really don't feel like sex at all! I think I just resent being on a schedule with it

Same here I'm going through a bit of a depressive phase and I can't face my fertile window which is approaching. Ugh

So difficult isn't it. I know that if we don't try then in a couple of weeks I'll massively regret it so will just have to try to get on with it 😂

First time posting here 👋🏼
Just seeing if I could get for advice
We’ve decided to TTC again after having a break from it for a while. My OH has an extremely low sex drive due to the medication he’s on, the Flo app has said I’m now in my ‘fertile window’ but nothing from him just wondering if anyone has experienced this or can give any advice on how to deal with this?

CD30 for me. Patiently awaiting AF’s arrival and trying not to get my hopes up too much.

Is he on the same page as you with TTC? Even if he is it can be a lot of pressure when your partner knows “it’s time”. Maybe plan a date night, cook a meal, have a nice glass of wine together and wear something that makes you feel good? Invest in some massage oils because we all know what that ends up in 😂

Hi I’m really new to all of this. I’m getting married this year and will start trying for a baby after Christmas. I bought some of those OPK strip things from easy@home on Amazon. Is this a LH surge? I have had a bit of bloating today and a twingey pain on my RHS. I’m day 14 of my cycle. Also what thermometer should I be buying as there’s so many on Amazon and im a bit overwhelmed by it all?!

my friends boyfriend just couldn’t get hard when having intercross but he would with foreplay so he played with himself with a condom on then she used a syringe! She has 2 children now. Turns out he did have a problem I can’t remember though 😂

Welcome 😊 the test line should be as dark as, or darker than, the control line for a positive OPK so that looks pretty positive to me and the timing sounds good too 😊 I think you need a thermometer that is sensitive enough that you can see the fluctuations in temperature throughout your cycle but I'm not too sure so I'll let somebody more knowledgeable answer that one 💕
