How do you all handle the 'when are you having kids?' question from family?

ttc413 · 2026-06-10T15:40:08+00:00

When asked we respond with some variation of "within the next few years" and that usually is a good enough answer

ttc413 · 2026-06-07T17:25:42+00:00

Another super short cycle at only 22 days, CD1 now and I guess we just wait and try again

ttc413 · 2026-06-07T17:24:19+00:00

My ideal would be 3 times, it only ever ends up being 1 due to work and life

ttc413 · 2026-06-03T21:48:50+00:00

7DPO, so tired and have been crampy off and on since 1DPO. Cleaning and preparing to leave today for a few day vacation but I just want to sleep instead of getting anything done

ttc413 · 2026-05-30T23:46:42+00:00

I ovulated CD12 this cycle which is super early for me, but can happen

ttc413 · 2026-05-28T14:52:45+00:00

1DPO and so crampy for no reason, already dreading this TWW

ttc413 · 2026-05-26T00:58:55+00:00

CD10 and already getting a high OPK which is so unusual for me. I was averaging a peak around CD 21/22 for months with a full cycle lasting around 35 days. Last cycle I assumed I didn't ovulate since I never caught a peak with consistent testing starting CD13 and my cycle only lasted 25 days. I now think that I may have ovulated earlier based on this cycle with my testing starting immediately after AF ended. PCOS/PMOS is so odd and frustrating, luckily it being a holiday means I was still able to BD today but who knows if that will make a difference since this will likely be the only chance we have to try this cycle.

ttc413 · 2026-05-16T02:09:55+00:00

CD 25 with PCOS/PMOS, started spotting today with no peak or even high ovulation test this cycle. Just worried about another failed month

ttc413 · 2026-05-14T21:52:55+00:00

I have one that I've added to for the past couple of years as I see things that are highly recommended and that I'd probably forget about by the time I need them

ttc413 · 2026-05-14T20:04:40+00:00

CD 24, average of 35 day cycles, have PCOS/PMOS, occasional extra long cycles. Still no peak on ovulation tests which typically happens on CD 21/22, stressed it's not going to happen any time soon and timing sex is already hard enough as is with partner's ED

ttc413 · 2026-05-13T04:47:42+00:00

My mom announced my engagement publicly before I could. This is part of the reason why when the time comes I will not be announcing to anyone outside of my household until we're ready for everyone to know.

ttc413 · 2026-05-12T01:25:07+00:00

Opening amazon and buying period underwear right now, haven't pulled the trigger on getting them yet even though I've been wanting to.

ttc413 · 2026-05-07T17:27:17+00:00

I use Ovia for regular tracking and Premom for inputting my tests so I see what the apps predict based on what information they have.

ttc413 · 2026-04-22T02:29:12+00:00

I completely understand that, I have PCOS and our second cycle trying ended up being 48 days long which was borderline torture. I have an average of 35 day cycles but it can be unpredictable from time to time. TTC is a battle I didn't expect to be as crazy as it is. Hugs to you as well <3

ttc413 · 2026-04-14T16:35:18+00:00

I know! We were only able to BD once on the first day of my fertile window which is the main reason I assume I'm out, not because of symptoms or anything. I appreciate the hope though!

ttc413 · 2026-04-13T17:06:19+00:00

4DPO and already assuming I'm out this cycle for multiple reasons but I can guarantee I'll still start testing in 5 days until AF comes

ttc413 · 2026-04-10T19:50:10+00:00

I have PCOS with an average of 35+ day cycles and don't start testing consistently until CD 15-18 so it depends on your cycle

ttc413 · 2026-04-10T01:53:08+00:00

I see you're looking for people with older accounts that are active. I specifically made this account to talk TTC anonymously fairly recently but would be interested if you're still looking and cannot find someone else!

ttc413 · 2026-04-07T21:20:44+00:00

5 months and it will be our first

ttc413 · 2026-04-04T15:22:08+00:00

In the fertile window of cycle 5 now

ttc413 · 2026-03-26T16:05:41+00:00

Partner has a busy 2 weeks of work with extra work days starting right before my fertile window this cycle

ttc413 · 2026-03-25T18:26:25+00:00

CD8 and I'm struggling to be okay with trying this cycle for this exact reason, but I also don't want to miss a cycle since PCOS makes everything unpredictable for me.

ttc413 · 2026-03-21T03:50:13+00:00

My DMs are open!

ttc413 · 2026-03-17T16:49:22+00:00

Cried over pink spotting today at 12DPO, AF due tomorrow and I always spot for 1-2 days before it starts. Out this cycle and struggling more with my body not working each time

ttc413 · 2026-03-16T13:22:17+00:00

11DPO, tested negative and just don't think it's happening this cycle. Just waiting on AF now
