Can I join please Smile
Cycle 3
Ttc #2
Age 31.
Had a mmc in October. My cycles have been all over the place!! Tried SMEP last month but by the time I had O'd we were burnt out... And I didn't know I had anyway!

dragonmummy17 · 16/03/2019 16:56

@pangolin84 are you only testing in the morning? I test twice a day when I think I'm reaching the peak and last month got my static smiley at 7pm

pangolin84 · 16/03/2019 15:30

OK so I've been getting flashing smileys on the clearblue advanced OPK for 6 days now... Getting a bit boring! My irregular cycles seem to really confuse the predictions on the apps because they all predict a different ovulation day (I may also be addicted to fertility apps...).
Reverting back to the "lots of sex" plan and kind of ignoring the clearblue. This can't last much longer, right? I'm knackered. Smile

Bab1990 · 16/03/2019 14:46

OPKs are getting lighter so thinking I missed the LH surge, hard to test through out the day because of work, but have been DTD every few days so 🤞🏻
Baby dust & BFPs to everyone💐

dragonmummy17 · 16/03/2019 13:17

CD6 here just started opks this morning as I have short cycles. First one is always low though.
@Navy123 I'm struggling with ovia after my mmc too. I'm doing my own calculations plus the opk but its irritating

Retrieversandredwine · 16/03/2019 08:21

I'm tentatively joining.

Age - 29
TTC #2
Had a miscarriage at 7weeks towards the end of jan, it clung around in there for quite a while so only got my BFN a couple of weeks ago.

I'm just waiting for AF - a bit at sea with my cycles since MC which is killing me because I'm such a control freak. So, as soon as AF turns up we're back in the game.

Skybooks · 16/03/2019 07:56

Morning, can I jump on too please.

TTC #2
Cycle 1 (MMC in Dec and cycle only really just returned to normal.)
AF/BFP due 6/7 April

DS took 6 cycles to conceive and MMC too just 2. I have ovulated twice since MMC but bleeding was too irregular to track much else or DTD very often.

We are moving house soon (date TBC ) and I'd love to be pregnant whilst moving.

Sending positive vibes to all you ladies

BFPhopeful2019 · 16/03/2019 07:29

I’m joining you guys. AF arrived surprisingly, 10 days early. Feeling quite upset but I have to brush myself off and start again. Not sure I will ovulate now so any advice would be great.

TTC#1

Proudmummy88 · 16/03/2019 07:20

Welcome @Charlotte9876 I'm sorry that damn AF arrived but I wish you all the best wishes for this month. Fingers and toes crossed. 

Awwww that's an absolute bummer @Navy123 I felt my entire body messed up after I came off the pill and was getting so frustrated at just not knowing what was going on! Bless DS hehe. All the best though and hope calculations work out well.

Hope it goes well for you @MichellebopsSmile

Welcome @MountAbora I came off mini pill 14th Dec and my have had one full cycle and now right in the middle of my next. It can take a while to settle down and very much different for everyone. Some people fall straightaway so I wish you all the luck 

@Bab1990 Hi. I am nearly in the tww too! I have been using fb digit and first time using opk. I've had nothing from day 11 to yesterday then this morn with my half sleepy face I see solid smiley face staring at me!! I'm over the moon!! Hubby is all excited too. Gonna be a fun weekend that's for sure 

@deathbycats I totally know what you feel like but keep positive and distract yourself as much as possible. I was determined I was pregnant 2 weeks after coming off pill but it was just hormones settling themselves. Fingers crossed it all works out.

Star BPF EVERYWHERE PLEASE Star

I don't know what I'll be like in the TWW, waiting for signs of being fertile has been bad enough! CD10 today, first EWCM and a high, softening cervix but with negative IC OPKs. Fingers crossed we'll get a chance to successfully DTD over the next few days with DH being at work/tired.

Bab1990 · 15/03/2019 17:45

Hey @Proudmummy88. All good here. Nearly at the dreaded TTW for us😊 Hoping to start the long line of BFPs 🤞🏻🤞🏻

MountAbora · 15/03/2019 13:44

Heya can I join, just came off the mini pill last week so no idea when AF is due!
TTC baby 1

Michellebops · 15/03/2019 13:39

I'm on cd6 so not doing opks yet.

Been looking more into the SMEP and going to try this for definite.

Fingers crossed for everyone ❤️

Navy123 · 15/03/2019 13:35

Proud hope that face appears soon!

Ovia has completely messed itself up after my mc which is really frustrating- it's decided I must now have extra long cycles (based on one month out of many!) and my fw is way out on it so I'm doing my own maths this month (and trying to stay away from the opks - I get a bit obsessive otherwise!). Pretty sure we are now in fw, and DS has started screaming all evening which is not helping things - don't think he wants a sibling!

Charlotte9876 · 15/03/2019 08:15

Good morning , hope you don't mind me also hopping on here. March hasn't worked as AF appeared this morning, so into April for me Smile

TTC #1
Cycle 2
AF due around 17/18th April

Proudmummy88 · 15/03/2019 07:46

Morning ladies. How is everyone doing? We started digital CB OPK a few days ago...just hoping a face appears soon Smile

dragonmummy17 · 11/03/2019 21:20

Hi @Wishful30 sorry you are still here too.
I think I'll call the GP in the morning... it takes 4-5 weeks to get an appointment anyway
I hope these further investigations are useful for you and they don't take too long...

Wishful30 · 11/03/2019 20:51

Hi @dragonmummy17
Sorry to see you back here!
I'm 36 soon. We're now with the nhs and have just been referred for IVF 😔
Been ttc #1 for 18months now 😐
I've had a few chemicals and one early miscarriage.... 5/6weeks.
I've been told there's nothing wrong with either of us, going by the test results. However a pitted uterus was picked up a while back, so I've basically told the doc if it an issue then IVF is a waste of time and money.. managed to get further investigations.

I'm short... go to your gp!! They can only refer you, and you'll be waiting a good couple of months to get the tests and your first appointment.
Good luck to you xxx

dragonmummy17 · 11/03/2019 19:31

@lori2019 thanks maybe I'll make an appointment
@Michellebops sorry for the mmc. October is almost 6 months... surely they would see you?

Michellebops · 11/03/2019 18:37

@dragonmummy17 similar situation I had a mmc in October and feel it's getting too long.

I was thinking of making an appointment with gp as I'm 42 soon and time is running out

lori2019 · 11/03/2019 16:46

@dragonmummy17 surely not, hopefully your gp would be more understanding than to make you wait even further. Especially if it was an early stage mc. So sorry that you went through that.

dragonmummy17 · 11/03/2019 16:18

Hi everyone I'm hopping on

CD1
TTC#2
AF due around 4th April

I'm feeling pretty angry today. I've had enough of this journey now. April marks a year of ttc and only 1 bfp ending in mc.
I'm not sure if going back to the GP is a good idea? I went in November after 7 months (I'm 37) and they did blood tests but then I got pregnant... do we have to wait another 6 months before going back?

Michellebops · 11/03/2019 11:29

I'm joining 😢

Cd2
Ttc #2 following a mmc in October last year
Cycle 4.
Ov date around 24th March

Fed up of seeing af each month

deathbycats · 11/03/2019 09:46

Morning!

I’ve also been looking at DH’s shift pattern to work out when to DTD - he’s not away any nights but he works in a very physical job so quite a lot of the time when he’s working he’s too knackered by the time the kids are in bed! I really hope I get a positive OPK for the 21st/22nd because he’s day off on the 20th and 21st, and he’s normally up for it when he finishes for his days off 😂

thinkpositive2019 · 11/03/2019 08:57

Morning all!
I got a high reading on my cbfm so I'm leaving nothing to chance this month, taking my vitamins, using preseed, and my poor dh isn't getting a nights rest
I'm getting this egg this month Smile

Xx
