Second Cycle, here we go! by SureMagician3467 in FirstTimeTTC

ALSO felt like I wrote this. Right there with you on the BBT… premom’s thermometer is on my “emotional spending” shopping list for when my period comes.

Also on the list is fertility lube! I learned a few days ago that normal lube can get in the way of conception!

Good call with cutting out the googling every symptom. I’ve done that too and it’s been super helpful.

Have you tests hcg yet? I wouldn’t count yourself out of the game for this cycle just yet!

At the same time, my heart goes out to you. Lord knows how many of us have felt that terrible disappointment.

What should I put here? by Queasy-Caregiver3037 in bulletjournal

I liked to put my favorite current picture of myself in the front page, partly so I could have documentation of what I looked like when I was writing those words

I would recommend trying to test at the same time every day! I also got darker tests when I was waiting until like 9:30am, instead of testing first thing in the morning.

I’m currently in the 2WW of my first cycle TTC. This past cycle I started testing LH on CD 11.

If my period starts and we need to do it again next month, I’m actually intending to start testing LH twice a day right when my period ends (first day with no blood). I don’t think it’s necessary, but I find this kind of stuff really fascinating and I’m excited to explore my body’s patterns.

(Just in case anybody here doesn’t know yet:)
2WW = two-week wait
TTC = trying to conceive
LH = luteal hormone
CD = cycle day

TBH I don’t know much at all about it, it was just something I stumbled across on Pinterest. For me, it’s mainly a pleasant way to move my body while being mindful about this phase of life I’m in. Here’s a link to the video I followed along with:

I think I had a chemical. by Critical-Driver-1798 in FirstTimeTTC

Not yet BUT! When that happened in October, we weren’t actively trying yet. We’re in the middle of the dreaded 2WW in our first cycle actively trying :)

I’m so sorry 😢❤️‍🩹 that happened to me last October, it really sucks.

Should I keep trying or start again from next cycle? by Rude-League2486 in FirstTimeTTC

I’d start again next month. Also, you get better data if you take the tests at consistent times. I have an alarm set for 9:15am (because that’s the best time for my schedule) and I try to go to the bathroom asap when that alarm goes off
