Start of a new cycle?

Anyone starting a new cycle with me?
I feel incredibly on my own. So pleased there are others TTC on this net!

For me I have been trying since 2018. 1 MC at 3 months and a few MMC.
I stopped for quite a while during Covid and now picked back up.

For some reason I'm so emotional this time around. I'm looking for others who just want to be open and rant and cry and who are as impatient as me during the TWW! Would love to share this journey with others who are in the same boat!

My cycle has just started at day 1 again .... here goes another month!

Baby due to everyone

Heya ladies, can I join please?
I've been trying 6 months now and am having a really low cycle. I've been having some strange symptoms which I hoped was pregnancy for two cycles, but got bfn for both. Things like such pressure in the pelvis and cramps, lots of nausea. The nausea and cramping haven't stopped since my last cycles ovulation so now I'm wondering if there's something wrong that's stopping us conceiving as we've pretty much hit the fertile window each time doing the sperm meets egg plan. Feel so disheartened and just have this deep seated feeling that it won't happen for us :( Hoping to see some bfps this month to give me hope.

Hey @Imisscoffee2021 sorry to hear no luck just yet. I know what you mean to is cycle I had these cramps from about 5dpo and ended with good old AF arriving today or tomorrow. It’s so frustrating when we get symptoms that could be signs of a bfp but also not
I suggest if you get no luck after another 6months go to the docs, I wish I did it earlier I’m not on year 3 and getting my scan done hopefully by end of this year and had my DH tests already done.
Even thought you feel like it won’t happen have stay positive which I know is not easy as I feel the exact same way

Thanks so much @Marie93, I've got a phonecall with the GP this week coming as the constant low grade cramps and nausea is getting ne down, I have a very active job and just feel so tired some days I can barely function! Baby dust to all and fingers crossed for this cycle! X

Hello :) AF showed up this morning 😭 so I'm joining for support as we start another month. Feeling pretty low today like its never going to happen for us 😢
Not feeling optimistic about this month as typically I'm due to ovulate when we are away staying with family and friends for a wedding 🙈 not ideal 😢
Hope your all doing okay.

Hi Arly90 👋 It's really tough isn't it! A few days ago I felt so low, I just cryed all day! My only advice regarding ovulation and the wedding is try get a quicky in lol 😆

😂 @whymewhyme I'm definitely going to be trying that. But it gets worse. We are in the middle of moving house and plans have fallen through. So we are with my in laws for the next 10 days 😭 then to the wedding so really hoping I ovulate late. I'm actually thinking of taking a month of all tracking and just DTD when we can and feel like it. Back to fulling trying next month for us I think.

@Arly90 I was in the exact same boat this month for ov! Was staying at my parents for a friends wedding and had so much fertile cm kept thinking argh such a waste! My husband and I stayed in a hotel for a night, used the excuse of oh it's been so long since we had a night away together with covid and we dtd twice to try and catch it! I ran out of opks too, first time in 6 months of trying I've not been able to track ovulation, hated that, but I was tired a few days after the hotel and went to bed like I usually have to on ovulation day, and when my mum popped her head in to see if all was well and I said yeah just ovulating so a bit tired, she said oh OK... hey I'm popping out for an hour, you can have the house to yourselves. I just said I'm not trying for a baby in my childhood bedroom mother, hehe she's clearly desperate for a first grand child!!

Life gets in the way sometimes doesn't it! We had a month off when my husband had covid and isolated down at the new house on his own lol what timing!

I don't get whats going on with me, had spotting on and off all last week in the build up to AF she arrived a day late on saturday lightish flo for me, come Monday it vanished not even had the tailing off bit just stooped dead! This morning I've wiped and looked...as you do lol and there light pinky red but its not blood its mixed...so sorry for tmi. Have you guys had anything like that? I'm also feeling so nauseous but im putting that down to being on antibiottics. I did have the first covid jab last month so might be that...who knows

Hey totally agree life just gets in the way, sometimes it’s so hard trying to actually find time when you are fertile
Erm I haven’t but I did hear people say that the jab has actually messed with there cycle it didn’t affect me or like you say it could even be the antibiotics. Maybe see how it goes you could had a really light one this month. It’s really hard not to try and think it’s anything else anit it
I’ve managed to get myself booked in for this scan to check everything is okay and think it checks my eggs and got this blood test to so I’m hoping if something wrong it will show up

I'm doing the amazon ovulation strips, going into my fertile window but if my app is correct then I'm going to miss the opportunity as I'm working back to back nights and my husband works days so theres no chance this month😫

Hey, yeah I’m on the ovulating clear blue at the moment, got flashy smiley so means ovulation will be round the corner we’ve managed to DTD every day thought this month will just try doing it more

Hello :) I'm taking a month off tracking but I know I'm due to ovulate roughly round Saturday. We've been staying at my in laws so no DTD. We move out tomorrow so planning on DTD tomorrow night but then I'm away for the weekend😭🙈 ruling myself out for this month already 🙈

Hope your all doing okay.

Morning everyone! Quick question, I did 3 ovulation tests yesterday with the Clearblue one and after 3 days of flashing faces I finally got a static last night before I went to bed (had a flashy yesterday morning and afternoon too) problem is my husband was away last night so we couldn’t dtd, is it too late to do it tonight??

How are we all? According to my flo app I'm fertile today, I will do the amazon test stip later but i have to say I wish i had brought the clear blue ones insted. We have DTD this morning but due to my work patten I'm working the next two nights and hes working the weekend so we have well and truly missed the boat!

We are 13 months into this now ( had a MC in march) and I'm getting abit down with it all now. I think I'm going to have a few months off and just see what happens. Sorry to be so meh at this time in the morning 🤣 hope you guys are all getting on ok. X
