6 week checkup

Today was me and my husbands anniversary and I’m a little over 6 weeks and decided to give “it” a go. There was no pain , no irritation, no discomfort at all !! I was really pleased because I was so nervous before !!! Does this mean I can expect a pretty decent follow up tomorrow?

Ttc successfully

Those of you who were ttc and got their BFP What did you do differently that cycle? Did you BD more/less? Did you take fertility supplements? If so, what? Did you take a break from tracking? Did you track your cycle more?

Not too sure what I am hoping to get out of typing this, but just wanted to share how much of an emotional rollercoaster this TTC journey has been.

Do we trust first response?

Top FR from yesterday, bottom 3 tests (all same pee) from this morning. Period due today, no idea of dpo as was not tracking. Have not used the dark cap FR before. The clear blue is one of the ultra early ones but I don’t think there is anything there. 😬
