[... Insert jazzier title here!]

The bus is still running, we're sick of bastard bfns, and crossing fingers (and some) for Feb 2019 babies. Come join!

I'm 35 yo
DD is 3yo
Cycle 25 (urgh!!)
Af/bfp due 18th June

After a few months charting and opk-ing, I've decided to chuck it all out and try and dtd every other day. Eek. Only two more cycles until we start ivf in August so crossing fingers we can get a natural bfp before then. Here's hoping!

Oh Pudding I'm sorry :(
I really thought this might be your month. FlowersCake

Pudding01 · 23/07/2018 17:32

The witch has arrived... I'm absolutely heartbroken 💔 Quite possibly the worst cycle I've had. And all the temping did was keep my hopes up with the high temps this morning 😔
Good luck to those still in limbo xx

AlwaysWantedToBeATenenbaum · 23/07/2018 10:07

Ahhhh thank you @treaclepie19!! I can join in now :)

Treaclepie19 · 23/07/2018 09:38

I don't think you're out yet pudding, keeping fingers crossed!

Welcome AlwaysWantedToBeATenenbaum
AF is Aunt Flo/period
BFP is big fat positive (pregnancy test)

AlwaysWantedToBeATenenbaum · 23/07/2018 09:06

Hello!!! Sorry I'm just jumping on the thread as my husband and I have a 17month old DS and have just started trying again this month.
I have no idea what you guys are talking about above and want to join in!!! So whats cycle and Af/bfp? Thanks!!!!!

Pudding01 · 23/07/2018 07:49

Thanks for your positivity @Angelmiracle & @Mammyofasuperbaby. I did it ovulate late this month, but I'm definitely 12dpo according to my chart. Just thought if FRER is 6 days early & I'm late, then it should pick up hormones by now 🤷🏼‍♀️ I know I'm not out until the witch arrives, but I'm losing hope for this very long cycle! X

Mammyofasuperbaby · 23/07/2018 07:42

@Pudding01, it's not over till Af shows. Like Angelmiracle said you could have ovulated late this cycle.
I'm currently on day 27 and still no positive opk, not even close so it looks like either no ovulation or its very late and af isn't due till well into August now

Angelmiracle · 23/07/2018 07:05

I'm so sorry I really thought burning boobs were a great sign @Pudding01 though you're still not out until the witch shows! Could you have ovulated later than that??

Pudding01 · 23/07/2018 06:43

Another day, another BFN... 😔
I'm 12dpo now. Think it's safe to say that I'm out.
Good luck with your BFPs girls!  x

Sounds like a good holiday @sodababy2! 😁 GL for your BFP.

Well, I'm currently CD32 & 11dpo. AF usually between CD28-32, but my ovulation was messy this cycle. Had a BFN yesterday. I'm literally crossing everything 🤞🏻🙏🏻 x

Treaclepie19 · 22/07/2018 22:11

Ohhh lovely soda! Glad you had a nicd holiday :)

I'm on cd20 of 24 and got nausea and a sore boob so I'm driving myself cuckoo.
Earlier today I was saying of course I won't be pregnant first try. 🙄 TTC sends me loopy.

sodababy2 · 22/07/2018 21:51

How's everyone doing?

I'm back from a lovely relaxing holiday. Got positive OPK on CD14 and DTD CD10,12,13,14,15! So hopefully that's us covered! Assuming I ovulated CD15 but I can't be bothered with temping any more. Plus it's ridiculously hot in London currently so not sure it'd work!

So 1dpo for me, trying to be positive about my chances.

Fingers crossed for everyone else Smile

LethargicButAwesome · 20/07/2018 19:05

With my waking times al over the place bbt monitoring was no good for me, plus I always forgot found it too much of a chore last time and same this time, same with opks I never got a positive one last time around, was convinced I wasn't ovulating so I'm hoping to keep this trying as natural as possible, lots of dtd in the right time, see how that fairs until end of year after that I think I'll be a little desperate an shave no choice

Treaclepie19 · 20/07/2018 13:06

Definitely soda, I'm about 3dpo today and will be having a few drinks tonight and tomorrow because I have plans. That's probably it then until AF is due. Eep!

sodababy2 · 20/07/2018 13:03

Exactly the same as @Treaclepie19 - didn't drink in TWW to start with when TTC #1 but got fed up and drank loads over Christmas when I conceived!

Just drinking as normal now - not loads but if I want a glass of wine I have one. I've seen a lot 'drink til it's pink' (the pregnancy rest( and I think that's a good rule to live by Smile

Treaclepie19 · 20/07/2018 12:55

I've decided not to avoid drinking during the tww. I drove myself mad with it ttc my son and then got pregnant over Christmas when I'd had a load 🙈

My bbt thermometer arrived today so at least I can start tracking that if it's a BFN this month.

Pudding01 · 20/07/2018 06:12

@MouseBatMummy I maybe different, but I do just live normally (but cautious) during it all, until I get my BFP. With my DD I didn't even know I was pregnant until 6 weeks and I'd had a big work night out & a weekend away the weeks before I knew x

Angelmiracle · 20/07/2018 00:17

Thank you @sodababy2!!! Hope you had a lovely holiday!

MouseBatMummy · 19/07/2018 22:52

Can't blame you @Pudding01 - two week wait is beyond rubbish.

Speaking of - what are peoples views on drinking during the tww? Do you do it? For me it depends as I try to avoid it but if I have plans and fancy a few, I tend to go ahead and enjoy myself but I'm never sure if that's dreadful or if it means I'm self sabotaging for want of a better phrase. I've got another week at least left of waiting and going to a surprise 80th birthday party tomorrow which will be a big family affair so I think i'll be having a few

Pudding01 · 19/07/2018 22:29

So I cracked and took a test this morning... BFN. I'm not sad, as it has confirmed the late ovulation (or I'm just not pregnant..) and I'm clearly 8dpo.
I'm having on and off stabbing/achey pains in the right of my pelvis... Feels weird. At first I was panicking that I'm having yet another ectopic pregnancy 😔 but I'm trying to think of all the other things it could be... What else could it be?? Lol Trapped wind? Implantation? Period cramps on one side? The tww suckkksssss!

sodababy2 · 19/07/2018 21:23

Just checking in from holiday, sorry I haven't been around much. Wifi is a bit intermittent!

So sorry @CatRen27, I really had high hopes for you. I hope you have a nice break away.

Congratulations @Angelmiracle!

Fingers crossed @Pudding01 - your chart looks great!

Sorry about AF @mayago - it sucks doesn't it?

Welcome to newbies! Hope your stay here is short!

I'm on CD13 today. Got an almost positive OPK so think it'll be positive tomorrow so will hopefully get a chance to DTD more over the next couple of days! Trying to keep positive about it all this month

mayago · 19/07/2018 16:00

I'm so sorry @CatRen27 Hope you manage to enjoy the holiday, and your mind is far from TTC.

Fingers crossed for you @Pudding01 I'll be checking in to see how you get on! Smile

BadBadBeans · 19/07/2018 10:37

@Angelmiracle you don't have to give a reason why you're making an appointment at my surgery, but they prefer it as it helps them to sort out urgent from non-urgent. I did apologise to the GP when I arrived as I felt I should maybe have waited a couple more weeks, but he was totally fine with it. I guess it doesn't really make any difference to him whether he sees me earlier or later! Ooo yes that's weird isn't it about ovulation dates? So we are two days apart based on LMP, but 7 days apart based on ovulation date. No wonder people get their EDD changed so frequently when they go for scans!

@Pudding01 Fingers firmly crossed for you!

Angelmiracle · 18/07/2018 23:25

@Pudding01 I'm so hopeful for you...lots of fx!! 🤞😊

Angelmiracle · 18/07/2018 23:25

@BadBadBeans that's great I'm glad your appointment went well. I think I want to go too and confirm all with GP! Thankfully our receptionists don't ask what your reason is for your appointment!

I'm 4+3 purely based on LMP but all those calculators are working out different EDDs if I put in cycle length etc. I ovulated late at cd21 and only 11dpo!!
