Buttermint, sadly I have forgotten every single morning to take my temp! You have to do it before you even sit up and at the same time every morning…. So it is going to take some discipline to get into the habit of this! I am mid cycle so I think I will wait until CD1 now anyway. I massively need to tackle my weight too. I have decided to give my fitness pal a try. I’ve never calorie counted but feel I need to try something different. Yesterday was my first day and I stayed perfectly within my calories, now just to do the same everyday (the hard bit!)

Ginger, funnily enough I spoke about this with a family member! Meghan has spoken openly about wanting to start a family and I think part of the reason they got married quickly is due to this (a baby out of wedlock would be a massive no no for them). She is considered ‘older’ for starting a family, so I reckon they have prepped probably with private medical apps and supplements etc for TTC so they were likely to fall pregnant asap. If we had all the money in the world I probably would have paid for tests as soon as we wanted to start trying!


My fertile window starts today according to Ovia. However, I had aches in my pelvis last night which in previous cycles came at the time I got a positive OPK, so I am wondering if I have ovulated! We were in bed ready to go to sleep and OH asked what this meant, I could tell he was wondering if this was my way of telling him to get to action! Haha But we had gone to bed late and he has to wake up very early so I’ve told him I’d let him off for last night but it will be an early night today. We BD’ed on Sunday so hopefully if I have ovulated there will be some swimmers ready.

Hi everyone! I was on this thread about 3-4 years ago whilst TTC #1, and ended up with twins who are now 2.5! DH and I have just gotten married and bought a house, so naturally we're thinking of completing our family unit with one more baby (or two!).

I come off the pill tomorrow and I'm all stocked up with prenatals, but I'm not going to stress too much. I am 4st lighter than I was first time around so hopefully that works in our favour!

WJN222

morning all
CD37 for me and no signs of anything!
This now equals the longest cycle I have ever had (and only once before) so I think I will give it another day or two then test.I think I am abit apprehensive to test if that makes sense?
guess we will see what the next day or two brings while trying not to drive myself insane symptom spotting

Welcome back to the thread lulu92 and congratulations on your marriage! That is an impressive weight loss, there are a couple of us on here trying to loose weight for TTC at the moment, how did you do it?

WJN222 it is such a strange feeling testing, especially when you don't have any signs at all of anything. I would say to do it though especially if you are past your period date, but do it with some cheapies at first Fingers crossed!

lulu_92

PrettyKittyKat Thank you! I lost 6st 9lb on Slimming World, but I'm still carrying some honeymoon weight :rofl: that I now have extra motivation to lose.

WJN22 I remember that feeling. What are your average cycle lengths?

I've had really bad bloating over the past few days, to the point where I was in quite a bit of pain. I've drank nothing but peppermint tea to try and get rid of it. Plus today I noticed I've had really sore nipples, I noticed in work they were sore against my bra and when I took it off for bed they are really sore to the touch. All would be good signs except I'm in the fertile week haha.

PrettyKitty - I have a separate alarm which goes off for BBT and then I go back to sleep (in theory!) for another 15minutes before my "proper" alarm goes off.

aw, WJN22, it's hard trying to work out whether to test or not. When we tested (for J who's now 3.5yrs) we ordered a special takeaway - I figured it would be either a celebration or commiseration!

Hi lulu 92! Congrats on marriage and weight loss - that's brilliant! Let's hope a BFP quickly becomes a 3rd fantastic achievement!!

And just sending hugs to anyone else who wants or needs one....

Anyone else have just one ovary?
I try not to over-think it but I do find it a bit stressful.
This month OH was away with work during my fertile week (so I think I'm probably out for this month).
I didn't ovulate during September so I'm now thinking, "am I going to ovulate during November? or not until December?"

Lulu92, wow that is amazing! I have done SW before and really enjoyed it but my mindset just isn’t there for it at the moment. I have decided to give calorie counting on my fitness pal a go this week. First two days and I have stayed within my calories, so I am hoping I can keep it up! I need to loose around 2.5-3 stone.

Skimper, ah that is frustrating! Could they be signs of ovulation?

Aunty-Pickle, oh that’s a good idea! I am off work at the moment but once I am back I think having a routine again will help me. As far as I am aware I have two ovaries, although I’ve had no reason to check. How do you know you only have one?


Day 2 of fertile week according to Ovia. We baby danced last night. However, OH is away Friday night and out Saturday night, with fertile week ending on Sunday so if my ovulation is around then we are going to struggle to have the swimmers in the right place at the right time! I might have to tell OH not to get too drunk on his night out Saturday haha
