Getting to know you

[Chase]

I'm a PF veteran despite the name change so I wanted to get to know the new (and old) faces in here 😊

I'm Chase, I have two. Kids already age 5 and 3 and we are looking to add our final addition to our family.

I'm an obsessive TTCer and like to treat it like a military operation, much to my husbands bewilderment. Currently CD1 and already impatient


We have been very lucky to conceive very quickly with both my children, but I'm older now and my cycles definitely aren't as regular as they used to be.

I'm also looking for recommendations for the best apps, I downloaded 2 yesterday (FF and Ovia) and I'm not keen on either of them. Preferably one that allows me to upload photos

Haha I feel I could have written this myself!! I also used to use this site when pg with my so , but changed my name for this time round. I have a 2 (almost 3) year old son. I am CD3 now and have ordered some OPKs as I fell the first month using them. I don’t have any app advice I’m afraid as I don’t really use them... good luck this month!! X

You are after my time so I don't think I'll know you, but looking forward to following your journey!

I'm 30 and still quite new to the forum. This is my first cycle trying for my first baby. I normally have anxiety and can obsess so things like the tww can be very hard for me. Feeling positive and hope to support others through their journey xx

Well my username has been the same forever, so if any of you knew me before, you know me now
I have a 6 year old boy who is very gorgeous and cheeky (with a lot of attitude thrown in) and he is DESPERATE for a sibling (no pressure). We are getting married (one month today,eeeep) and then ttc number 2. Took me forever last time after coming off the pill, I had PCOS that I never new about. Didn't have a period for a year, had ovarian drilling and then got pregnant, to cut a long story short!
My cycles are irregular to the regular person, but I've managed to get them down to a fairly fine art by my standards, by restricting my carbohydrate intake.
So I can't bother with OPK's as I'd never get an accurate reading anyway. I just figure if we have lots of sex all month I'll hopefully catch
I *think* AF is due within the next few days. I am certainly starting to feel sore and pre-menstrual. I had my coil taken out last week, so unless there was quite a big delay in my ovulation, I don't think I'd be pregnant already.

I’m Laura I’m 32, I joined in February when I found out I was pregnant, unfortunately that pregnancy didn’t work out and I had a missed miscarriage at 15+5 weeks, I have 2 loving boys one aged 12 and one nearly 5 and 2 angel babies, I have a step son with my partner and we are now trying to conceive our rainbow baby together we fell pregnant the first month I stopped taking the pill last time but I’m not expecting it to be so quick this time! I am trying opks for the first time ever this month!

Regarding my ttc in the past my first child was conceived when I was 19 and on the pill! Then my first angel in 3 months of trying again with my first sons dad
My second son took 2 years of NTNP and me and his dad never used anything for the next 3 years after having him and still no second baby!
My second angel was conceived after one cycle with my new partner

I’m not an obsessive ttcer but I am an obsessive poaser!

Hi! I'm Clare, from Moray in Scotland. I'm 35 and we're tying for my rainbow baby after my son was stillborn 10 years ago.
I study from home and I've just finished my first year of my honours degree in child & youth studies.
I've been driving my other half mad with updates on ovulation each month, he just wants me to tell him when he needs to do his thing he's a realist though, so tells me not to get my hopes up with every twinge and possible symptom I get. He does really want it of course, but one of us has to keep a level head!

Hello

I’m Nicola, almost 32 with no children at the moment. My husband is booked in for a vasectomy reversal in 12 days time so we’re very excited (and hopeful) to be able to start trying for our first baby soon.

I’ve been using opk’s for 2 months now as I’m trying to get used to my cycles in preparation, I’m also using an app called flo and I have to say, it is very good.

Hi I'm Kaydee, from South-Africa and currently TTC our first. DH was diagnosed with low sperm count and had a procedure done last Monday. Docs say that his sperm count will be within normal range within the next six months so hopefully we'll be pregnant by December! I'm soooooo ready for this TTC journey to end!

I use OPKs and although my cycle is irregular I seem to be Ovulating more often than not. I'm turning 33 in December so I'm pretty anxious to start a family.

FX for all you ladies still on the TTC train

Hi all

I was originally on the forum in 2011 when i was trying for my 1st baby, I was very lucky and fell pregnant on the 2nd month off my pill. My daughter is now nearly 6 years old and I've decided with my new partner (of 14 months, who is a fantastic dad to 2 daughters of his own) to try for baby number 2 .

I have 2 days left on my pill and then my ttc journey begins. 1st time round my cycle was 37 days off the pill, I'm assuming it won't be the same 2nd time around, just have to wait and see. Also assuming as I'm older now (34), that my BFP most likely won't happen as quickly this time round.

Very excited to begin the ttc journey as a 2nd baby would complete our family, will be amazing for our daughters to share a sibling.

Wishing you all lots of luck with your ttc journeys! x

Goodluck Em!
