Hey ladies
I know there's lots of threads out there for this but who's joining me?
I think I'm either 1 or 2 DPO - got a static smiley on a clear blue digital OPK on Wednesday and annoyingly didn't have any IC to test when I did actually O nor am I temping so guessing I O'd either Thursday or Friday.
I am determined NOT to symptom spot but realistically I will 😂

I'm using the monitor, I used it in march and concieved first cycle. I started again after my first period and had peaks on Saturday and Sunday. I have been tracking my cm aswell and it would seem to have been right so I'm hoping for the best xx

Islandermum · 08/07/2019 19:48

@elles1980 no I'm not using the CB fertility monitor. Think I'm going to give it a few months until I get anything like that. I'm charting BBT, using OPKS and monitoring CM at the moment. Are you considering the monitor?
Odds are, one of us will be pregnant in two weeks!!

Elles1980 · 08/07/2019 19:45

Thank you ladies, it's super exciting! Is anyone else using the clear blue fertility monitor? We were so lucky to concieve the first try and then sadly the MC. But we're super hopeful that it won't take us too long. I have read that your more fertile for 6 months after a miscarriage and that there is a higher percentage chance that you will go full term with no problems so I shall keep my fingers crossed for you all, imagine if in 2 weeks even one of us was pregnant! That would be pretty awesome xxx

Islandermum · 08/07/2019 19:30

@herewegoagain89 it's so exciting starting to officially TTC! Fingers crossed, some people get very lucky! Mine is my first actual cycle trying as I got pregnant whilst casually not using protection (going with the flow) and then had a miscarriage in May. So fingers crossed for both of us this month! I did the Ava calculator for how long it will take to conceive and it guessed within 3 months for me!

Hello!

Can I join? We are officially trying. We have been winging it for a few months, not really been 'trying' so this is our first official month.

I'm currently 3dpo. Period due 18th July. Not really expecting it to happen first month of trying but excited to symptom spot! Grin

Islandermum · 08/07/2019 18:57

Hi @Elles1980 It's sounds absolutely awful what you've had to deal with. Fingers crossed for you this month. Bleeding sounds normal, although must've been a little worrying to see. Love and baby dust to you too Elle!

Michellebops · 08/07/2019 18:47

Haha! I'm rarely put off by anything squeamish.

Talk away, it's good to talk about your experience even if only to try and understand it and not let it simmer and engulf you emotionally.

Fingers crossed for a quick 2 weeks and positive results 🤞

Elles1980 · 08/07/2019 18:16

@Michellebops I wouldn't say worried, I just had an awful thought maybe after having our peak (we were super lucky in concieving first time using the monitor with the MC) we'd ruined it by doing the deed, we did Google and it did say that that wouldn't happen! Our bodies are super weird things lol! Thanks for replying its nice to be able to talk so openly about it without seeing reactions hahaha (mainly get squirmy faces Grin) xxx

Michellebops · 08/07/2019 18:09

@Elles1980 omg that sounds so scary for you all. I'm very sorry for your loss.

With my miscarriage I bled a number of times weeks later after dtd or sometimes just overdoing things.
Gp advised it was most likely old blood in my cervix.

This was last year and didn't last long.

I would say tho no harm running it by your Gp for advice if you're worried.

Elles1980 · 08/07/2019 17:59

Hi ladies I hope it's ok to join you all too.
I'm elle, almost 40 but lucky enough to have 4 children 21/18/9&4. My new partner (41yrs) has none. We had a quite traumatic miscarriage in late may with me having to be rescusitated due to cervical shock and then followed by a d&c. We have been using a clear blue fertility monitor and I had my peak on Saturday and Sunday, we dtd most days anyways coz he's a fitty lol. But this morning when being intimate I bled a little... After the MC it threw us both a little but we're still hoping for the best and with all the luck in the world we will be preggers in 2 weeks Grin, love and hugs and mostly luck to all of you xxx

Michellebops · 08/07/2019 13:44

@maria2bela I'm usually aware of drying up after ov day but I'm on day 3 of cm, not egg white but lots of it.

I'd be interested to know xx

Michellebops · 08/07/2019 13:43

@MrsLBear yes I have an almost 4 year old.

Rosetinted47 · 08/07/2019 13:20

I'll join, though i've no idea how many DPO i am. Flo out me ovulation on Thursday, mother and baby put me ovulating Sunday. ECWM dried up by Saturday. I don't temp or do OPKs so it's all a guessing game!

Unfortunately I was ill last week, so i think everything is against us as my body probably isn't up for it, and we didn't BD much due to illness.

I think my AF is due 20th July

MrsLBear · 08/07/2019 12:38

@maria2bela I think it's quite common to dry up after O. Another good sign that it has happened! Cm can turn more sticky too.

OP posts:
maria2bela · 08/07/2019 08:31

@Michellebops Sorry to hear that, hopefully this month is your month too! Xx

Quick question peeps. Is it normal to dry up after ovulation? I have pretty much no cm at all, just wondering if this is a good or bad sign? Thanks

sao811 · 08/07/2019 08:17

@MrsLBear think we will give it 1 more go tonight! As far as I'm aware we've always used protection but no contraceptive. There were a couple of times where we'd had nights out though so we think it was then and we've got caught straight away! Just hoping it is quick this time

MrsLBear · 08/07/2019 07:30

@sao811 hi!! Sounds like you've covered most basis but once more wouldn't hurt if you both can. It's just when you start forcing it so much it can totally take the fun out of it.
TTC isn't a fun journey tbh so you were very lucky the first time!! Were you on any contraception or anything when you fell pg before?

OP posts:
MrsLBear · 08/07/2019 07:28

@Michellebops sorry to hear that. May I ask have you had a baby before?
How long have you been TTC for?

OP posts:
Michellebops · 07/07/2019 22:11

Thank you @MrsLBear and @Islandermum

I have everything crossed for this month as I'm not going to continue ttc for much longer if it doesn't happen soon.

I'm 42 and had a mmc last year so giving myself a couple of months more x

sao811 · 07/07/2019 21:37

Hi hope to join too!
Its my OD today according to Clue, had a +OPK yesterday, had cramping and sticky discharge (sorry if tmi) which on the clue app I always seem to get around day 13/14 so guessing these are my O signals. DTD on Friday and today cycle #2. Feeling nervous as our DD was unplanned so no idea how long it took in the grand scheme of things! Would u say try again tomorrow to be safe?

MrsLBear · 07/07/2019 21:31

@eastview sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Wishing you all the best this cycle!! 🤞🏼

@maria2bela I think mine was cd25 or 26. Latest it's ever been! So annoying cos it makes my cycles so long 😣

@Michellebops welcome!!! Fx cos for you!! That sounds you defo o'd thurs night or early fri. I'm not expert though!

@Islandermum oh wow you've defo covered all basis!! In for a good chance for sure. When you planning on poas?

OP posts:
Islandermum · 07/07/2019 19:24

@eastview I had a MC in May, sorry that you've had to go through that. Seems like we are in a very similar boat, I'm 2dpo.

Sending lots of baby dust 🧚

Islandermum · 07/07/2019 19:23

@MrsLBear ovulated on CD 16, managed to BD on CD 16, 15, 13, 12, 11. Missed two days before ovulation BD but when I write it out I realise we actually have given it a good chance this month!
@Michellebops welcome to the TWW! Seems like you've given yourself a great shot this cycle! Fingers crossed for us all.

Michellebops · 07/07/2019 18:24

Can I join?

I'm 1 or 2 dpo.

I believe I ovulated between Friday/yesterday based on positive opk Thursday lunchtime and negative one Thursday night.

We dtd Thursday and last night so 🤞 although I'm still getting lots of cm.

I'm 2 weeks post laparoscopy for cyst removal so I have everything crossed for this cycle.

Good luck everyone ❤️

maria2bela · 07/07/2019 16:46

@MrsLBear I ovulated CD 20 I THINK, not 100% sure, wbu?
