Impatientmummy36 · 17/09/2017 08:17

Here we are again! Some of us been here a while & finding it hard ttc our second, but we've been supporting each other and chatting since June, so let's carry on!

Can I make suggestion? To recap now, & to help us all keep up as thread gets long and new people join, how about we all put quick recap at end of each new message (or once a day if posting lots back and fwd as we do sometimes?!) (bit like email signature!) with the vital stats and anything else you want to add (like if IVF for example) so mine is:

36
DS age 3
Ttc#2 since Jan/Feb (early mc in Aug)
Af/bfp due Oct 12th

Might be a bit of a pain typing it each time but would help everyone know where we're coming from? Good luck all for another cycle, we can do it!

Thanks Kashy and Curlie. I really hope that I will have some resolution in 2 weeks and know where I srand either way.

Sorry about af Rhibee.

Baby dust x

RhiBee29 · 29/09/2017 10:51

Well AF has arrived Sad so that's me out! In a way I'm ok with it as I've only gotten a bfp when my cycle was 28days, last cycle was 32 this one 30 so in theory next month will be 28 days! Good luck to all those still in the TWW x

curliegirlie · 29/09/2017 09:11

Hi @Nubian9454 - that's great you got a positive opk! Hopefully that means af or BFP in two weeks then! When I first came off the pill to ttc my dd my periods were all over the place, no sign of ovulation and I had a loopy 146 day cycle, which is when I went to the doctors. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and prescribed levothyroxine, but I think before I even started taking the pills, I got my first +opk and af followed two weeks later! 6 months after that I conceived dd. Good luck - I hope the end is in sight!

KashyKash · 29/09/2017 08:48

Hi @Nubian9454 sorry to hear you're still waiting for this cycle to finish. I experienced an anovulatory cycle once when I was ttc ds. I wasn't charting or using opks at the time so didn't have a very good idea of what was going on. I just remember having nausea for weeks and my period came a month later than expected, so it would've been about a 60 day cycle. If it's any consolation to you, this has never happened to me again in the four years since. Hopefully this is a one off for you too. There's always a chance if you think you're ovulating now though. Get busy and see what happens! Big hugs x

Nubian9454 · 29/09/2017 06:37

Have been a while posting. Congrats to those who got their bfp and baby dust to those still waiting. I am on CD60 today...yes still no af or bfp. I did however get a strong g positive opk again...Is that even possible?? I felt ovulation pain from my left like I normally do. Can I really be ovulating this late...again?? I'm so confused. I will make another appt with GP on Tuesday. But if any of you ladies experience a wacky cycle like this please give me some words of wisdom...

Congratulations @curliegirlie
Wishing everyone good luck and lots of baby dust on their journey.
One little thing I have woken up to black thickish discharge (sorry tmi) do you think I should be alarmed?

Sodasoda · 28/09/2017 22:10

Hooray! Great news on the bfps! Congratulations- everything crossed they're sticky xx

curliegirlie · 28/09/2017 21:43

Congratulations Mummyloves09!

ElephantAndBird · 28/09/2017 21:43

Well it looks positive @curliegirlie - everything crossed for a sticky one for you.

curliegirlie · 28/09/2017 21:41

Well, thanks to good old Amazon Prime I got a couple more frers and got this! Definitely a lot more visible - too visible for 9dpo?! I've no idea what's going on with my body, between this and the super squinters at 12dpo last month. Although last month and May's CP mean I'm going to try and keep schtum to DH until af is actually due (Tuesday, if the opks were accurate) as I no longer believe that a line = baby! The fact that it seems quite so strong may be a good sign, but Tuesday is a long way away....if I make it until then with no af, I may treat myself to a CB digi!

Ttc #2? (October bfp)
ElephantAndBird · 28/09/2017 21:41

It looks positive to me @Mummyloves09 !!

RhiBee29 · 28/09/2017 20:35

I see it @Mummyloves09...fingers crossed for you x

Mummyloves09 · 28/09/2017 20:10

Thanks @Elles85, i will test again in 2 days to be sure.
It feels sooo surreal Confused

Elles85 · 28/09/2017 19:41

**curliegirlie I think I see something but best to test again tomorrow. Fingers crossed

**Mummyloves09 it looks like a good BFP to me. Congrats Flowers

Mummyloves09 · 28/09/2017 19:18

Good evening ladies

Can I get your opinions Please, because I think I'm going crazy.

Ttc #2? (October bfp)
curliegirlie · 28/09/2017 17:59

Fingers crossed for you too Elephant - spotting could mean anything!

ElephantAndBird · 28/09/2017 17:53

It does mean that I probably have another chance for an October bfp though so I'll stick around anyway

ElephantAndBird · 28/09/2017 17:52

Fingers crossed @curliegirlie

I've got some very light spotting today so I think I'm probably out for this month. My period is due on Tuesday but it's been irregular because of breastfeeding so could be starting a little early.

curliegirlie · 28/09/2017 12:58

Oops, my resolve not to test early this month has completely failed and at 9dpo I've picked up another squinter. Why do I do this to myself?! The next few days until af is due are going to be hell, as there's always the fear it will disappear again .....

Stee1 · 28/09/2017 12:48

Well did a frer said negative I'm due on Monday so maybe a bit early but not feeling hopeful this month x

RhiBee29 · 28/09/2017 12:19

@Stee1 also my first month TTC again after mc in June. AF due sun/mon I think. AF cramps yesterday afternoon but no sign of it yet. 

@bunnieboo91 I've never had a positive opk and had two bfp's. Ovia seems to be most accurate for me and I tend to get ovulation pains too.

bunnieboo91 · 28/09/2017 11:11

Ovulation sticks are so important and don’t think you should assume when you will ovulate based on apps like Ovia.

4dpo and already I’m itching to do a test Envy

Beek84 · 28/09/2017 09:39

Hi everyone

Hope you're all doing okay. Sorry for those who have had bfn but remember it's not over til af appears so don't lose heart yet.
I track my periods using an app and according to that I should have ovulated tues, but have been using ovulation sticks ( just cheap ones from Amazon) and they are telling me I've not ovulated yet ( been testing since Sunday) so looks like maybe I ovulate later in my cycle than I thought which could help to explain why we've been unsuccessful for so long. Fingers crossed this month might be different!

For those of you in the tww - it's just so hard isn't it?! Hope you have things to look forward to and can distract yourselves at least to some extent X

Age: 33
DD 19 months
Ttc #2 since August 2016
Bfp/af due 13 October

Stee1 · 28/09/2017 06:49

Stee1 · 28/09/2017 06:48

@ RhiBee29 yes me too! I have internet cheapies but they didn't work for me in June (ended in ectopic) only our first month trying again but should take a delivery of first response tomorrow unless I poo into town today.. 😀
