CD1 - This is our month!

134 replies

Each2TheirOwn · 12/09/2019 09:50

Hi All,

So after the very disappointing arrival of AF this morning I am now on CD1.

I'm 34 (35 next month) and TTC #1. I have PCOS and have been referred to FC which I will be attending soon. However, I really want to fall naturally before I have to go through all of the tests etc.

Last month we tried SMEP (however we didn't manage to follow it to the letter). This month we will be doing it again (properly).

Due to O CD18 of a 32 day cycle and AF due 13th October. I won't be testing before then as I've tested early every month with FRER and the cost and disappointment of seeing repeated BFNs is not worth it.

If anyone is at the beginning of their cycle and wants some company over the next few weeks then feel free to join! Wishing everyone the best of luck x

@Sardi28 so sorry Hun 😢 we’re here if you need a friend.

I can feel AF brewing too I think. Sore boobs and so cranky!!

@Izzie94 fingers crossed for you hun x

Izzie94 · 09/10/2019 19:57

@Sardi28 so sorry that AF got you hun, hope you've got loads of chocolate and maybe a bottle of wine 🥰 gets harder each month doesn't it? CD1 Sucks!!!!

I'm now on CD30 AF officially 2 days late for me, but I've checked over my dates and when I first came off my pill I had my longest ever at 32, so still think I'm out. Got the sorest boobs and did get a test for the morning just in case 😪 x

Sardi28 · 09/10/2019 19:24

I'm out 🙄she rocked up

Izzie94 · 08/10/2019 12:56

@Happythoughts123 Ah that makes sense! Hopefully comes round quickly for you 🥰

Hahahaha tell me about it!! Although cold like symptoms apparently can be, but I'm the same any twinge in my head I'm like "can it be???" Google always says yes but here I am 6 months later 😂 I'm always so calm the first of the TWW, then the second week approaches and I'm thinking more 🤣 x

Happythoughts123 · 08/10/2019 11:42

Hi @Izzie94 I’m cd 24 today. App is predicting AF in 9 days but think that’s because I ovulated late.

Oh bless you with your sore boobs - it’s so hard not to symptom spot isn’t it. I just can’t help it! I had a sore throat this morning...Googled it....and it said early pregnancy sign 😂😂 I think they say pretty much anything is an early pregnancy sign though!
Hope everyone is well in the 2ww ❤️

Izzie94 · 08/10/2019 09:40

Hey girls,

How are you all getting along? AF hasn't arrived for me yet, got incredibly sore boobs 😣 its my usual pms but this month they came a bit later and haven't eased yet so I have a feeling she's going to be late! As they usually ease off a few days before. I still think I'm out so refusing to test 😂 avoiding disappointment lol!!

What CD are you all on? I think I'm ahead of you girls slightly! X

Happythoughts123 · 05/10/2019 17:33

@SMiles14 thanks lovely 😊😊😊 xxxx

SMiles14 · 05/10/2019 07:04

@Happythoughts123 I had EWCM 2 days after ovulation last month and o was definitely confirmed with risen temperature etc on 3dpo. It did make me panic as I was using ic OPKs and didn't quite trust them. I think sometimes you get random cm when you wouldn't expect it. Don't lose hope yet cycle buddy! 🙌🌟🍀

Yutes · 05/10/2019 00:03

Thanks @Izzie94

Happythoughts123 · 04/10/2019 20:53

@izzie94 thanks lovely ❤️ Baby dust to you too ✨ will be thinking of you on Tuesday.

Well I ‘ovulated’ according to Chen digital test on Monday Cd18 so app is predicting period on the 15th - so 2 weeks after, but that would mean a 32 day cycle so not sure really.

Has anyone else still continued to have ewcm after ovulation?

Izzie94 · 04/10/2019 20:36

@Yutes it's meant to help increase cm during your fertile window, some ladies notice is more than others but I'm convinced it's why Im not getting my bfp! Folic acid is perf, so unless you don't see any cm, EPO might not be one for you 😊

@Happythoughts123 aw, hope you're OK hun ❤️ I feel you. I don't track ovulation but going to start from next month as I really don't feel like I have any symptoms of ovulating (apart from watery cm) so I'm not sure it's even happening!! 😅 First few months off the pill I definitely had twinges, but it's settled now. Our body's are so complex!! 😂 When's AF due for you? Sending lots and lots of baby dust x

Happythoughts123 · 04/10/2019 18:07

I feel like I’m out already this month. Test said i ovulated Monday but I’m still getting ewcm now so perhaps had Lh surge but didn’t quite ovulate.

Hope everyone else is ok in the tww ❤️

Yutes · 04/10/2019 16:30

How does evening primrose oil help?

I’ve been taking my folic acid and I’ll take iron after AF.

I’ve heard about CQ10.

Izzie94 · 04/10/2019 13:00

Hi girls,

So sorry I've been really quiet. Had a really busy month and just feel out this month and I don't know why 😩 AF due on Tuesday for me, and refuse to test until after she's due.

@adalbertWaffling I've been the same since coming off contraceptive, I never really notice any changes to my cm (I don't check internally though) I sometimes notice watery, then straight to creamy, never noticed EWCM since coming off my pill in March!! But I have invested in some evening primrose oil which lots of ladies on here recommend up to ovulation 😊 I'm also thinking about Vit B complex, it's thought to help your ovaries in releasing an egg and ensuring you maintain good levels of progesterone to help you stay pregnant once you conceive. So taking both from my next cycle 😊

How's everyone else getting along? X

Sardi28 · 04/10/2019 12:47

Thanks @Happythoughts123 xx it's v hard x

Happythoughts123 · 03/10/2019 22:27

@Sardi28 it’s still early for you don’t give up hope just yet. I’m only a couple days post ovulation and I’m already having to stop myself from symptom spotting. The tww is hard. ❤️

Sardi28 · 03/10/2019 19:31

I just did a Frer with the biggest fattest negative I've ever seen. 🙈
AF due on Tues 😖

SMiles14 · 03/10/2019 07:43

@AdalbertWaffling I used to be like that - I would stop getting creamy for FW but I never got EWCM until I started taking evening primrose oil. You take it only up until ovulation but it's made a massive difference to me. I still only get it for one day, about 2 days before I would get a peak OPK then it goes watery.
Have a google about supplements etc to help it along a little

AdalbertWaffling · 02/10/2019 21:59

Hey guys, so I'm a bit worried as I don't seem to have any noticeable change in my CM throughout the month. I don't think I've ever noticed EWCM! Do you all have a noticeable difference thought your cycle and when you're ovulating? I don't know whether to be concerned and if this is a factor in why I'm not getting pg?

Sardi28 · 01/10/2019 11:50

@Happythoughts123 We got this!
Spa day for me and DH , nice rest and relaxation to take our minds off ovulation and CM😂😂😂😂

SMiles14 · 01/10/2019 10:59

@Happythoughts123 YAY! I was hoping you would :D Well done for dtd before work, I will have to wait til I get home but will jump straight on dh when I get through the door!!

Happythoughts123 · 01/10/2019 10:40

@SMiles14 oh my gosh got my static this morning haha! We are cycle twins 😂

Dtd before work this morning 😉😉😉 so fingers crossed!

SMiles14 · 01/10/2019 07:04

@Yutes that's bollocks sorry to hear that.

I've got my peak! Yaaay! So we're doing SMEP so will be dtd for the next 3 nights. Glad I didn't give in to dh last night otherwise it would have been 5 on the trot!!
@Happythoughts123 I hope you've got yours too this morning!

Yutes · 01/10/2019 00:00

Thanks guys.
Next cycle 🤞🏻

Happythoughts123 · 30/09/2019 21:51

@SMiles14 how funny we have matching cycles! hoping for a static tomorrow 😃 I’m cd 16 tomorrow.

@Yutes sorry to hear that. Sending you positive thoughts for the next cycle.

@Each2TheirOwn congrats on the static smily! Excited for you 😘

@Sardi28 you’re not out until AF shows up! I know what you mean about symptom spotting. I honestly feel like I’m pregnant every month.
