Anyone got some positivity to share today.

I'm being ridiculous but worrying I won't ovulate this month. I had lots of CM beginning of the week but not had a positive OPK yet and seem to have dried up since. Sorry if TMI.

I'm CD16 I think and didn't ovulate tell day 21 last cycle so don't know why I'm worried but I had all the signs so was hoping to have ovulated by now x

Hi All

Can I join?
TTC #1
Age 28
Cycle number 15 (not had one BFP)

Currently 2DPO and going mad in this TWW. We have given it everything this month. I have been taking extra vitamins, BD every 2 days since end of last period. Really hoping this month is our month 🤞 x

MeganMama28 · 20/10/2019 11:55

@CooperLooper thank you, it was extremely hard especially as we got closer to our 12 week scan. Managing to look forward now and be positive about the ttc journey again finally 😊

Hopefully this will be our lucky month fx! Would love a July baby. Doing the SMEP last time worked for us so going for that method again.

Izzychar2927 · 20/10/2019 10:51

I just hope I get a BFP this month I know the chances are low as I haven't had a full cycle since the pill.. but all signs are that am ovulating, very bloated sensitive boobs and ewcm.
d
Dtd evey other day think am due to ovulate in 2 days according to the app so fingers crossed... does anyone else suffer with wind during ovulation am terrible at the moment

CooperLooper · 20/10/2019 09:17

Hey @GreatestShowUnicorn welcome :) what are soy isoflavones? (Sorry just curious!)

@Izzychar2927 it’s my first time too, last time we weren’t trying as such, we stopped using protection and it took 5 months for it to happen that way. So we are in a similar boat, have a child already but never knew how you have to get the timing exactly right. Here’s to getting out BFPs soon!

My AF still hasn’t showed yet after the small bit of spitting. More tmi but I seem to have developed thrush. It may be down to all the dtd, we have done it a lot more than usually lately! So now I’m thinking the spotting could be due to that.
We will see, according to my app (which I only began using last month, my AF is due 30th Oct (cycles irregular) so we will see.

Might order some opks for next month and actually make sure to pinpoint ovulation properly and do them everyday after CD11.

Izzychar2927 · 19/10/2019 21:21

GreatestShowUnicorn · 19/10/2019 20:08

Hi I'm 37 with an 8 year old.
Cycle number 7 trying soy isoflavones this morning in the hope that they will help.
Period due 15/11.

Plaw · 19/10/2019 10:51

@Nic555 oh I know, it’s nice to have some positivity but not getting my hopes up on anything at all. So small bit of Pink stained CM last night when I wiped before going to bed but nothing since, just some CM now but it may be Af starting very slowly.

Feel like it will be a double whammy of upset as it will mean my cycles really are all over the place and then of course knowing it’s not happening for us this month.

I’ve lost a stone in the last 5 weeks as I want to be as healthy as possible for this ttc journey so perhaps that has messed with my cycle. Confused

Nic555 · 19/10/2019 09:50

@plaw was just an idea as did seem early if u got ovulation right. Any updates?

Not sure if I messed my OPK up this month the clear blue ones. I tested at night which was a blank face. Then the next day in the morning tested and got my flashy smily. Not sure if it was only flashing because I'd tested the night before so the morning one looked like a significant increase in estrogen cos I hadn't tested with FMU the day before. Although I was seeing an increase in CM so that's why I tested. I'm going to just do mornings next cycle. It's still flashing now but last two cycles I got the static on day four which would have been today but it's still flashing and I don't seem to have as much CM now. Maybe just taking bit longer to detect the LH surge this cycle 🤞

ceebee21 · 19/10/2019 08:38

@CooperLooper it's just awful I just want an idea of when I OV and then I know I'm in the tww. But like you, I have an idea I could be waiting a few weeks yet, which feels like a few years x

CooperLooper · 19/10/2019 08:31

@ceebee21 I'm feeling your pain honestly. I'm not even getting any AF symptoms or twinges or anything - I'm feeling like I might be weeks away from anything happening 😔 I'm starting to hear that little voice of doubt in the back of my head saying it might be months before my cycles get back on track so I need to block that voice out.

So what date is everybody going to test then? I'm so excited for everyone, I love seeing BFPs or even 'line eye' posts on here 😂

Skygirl1983 · 18/10/2019 20:31

My hubby has gone to play football this evening for a local Dads vs Dads get together. And he isnt even a dad! Yet! Hopefully he will be soon.

Plaw · 18/10/2019 17:53

@Nic555 I didn’t Shock but I never had that with my first pregnancy so now that you say it, there’s a little chance! Oh my god I’ll spend my whole weekend knicker watching. My tummy has been dodgy all day too so was a bit miserable but thanks for giving me hope. Come to think of it, it was kind of dried looking, unusual. We dtd on the 10th, 13th and 15th so I’m gonna assume if it was anything positive, it would be from the 10th? According to google, which I’m going to try and stay always from, implantation usually happens 7-12 days after fertilisation? I’ll keep you guys posted, if Af does arrive.

Nic555 · 18/10/2019 17:23

@plaw have you considered it might be implantation bleeding? Far too soon for AF if you did ovulate when you thought. Just an idea Xx

Plaw · 18/10/2019 16:33

TMI warning
Just wiped and got a tiny little circle of blood. Looks like I’m out ladies and I was way off with my dates. Irregular cycles suck!

MrsLEB · 18/10/2019 14:45

CD15 today and will be 5th DTD of this series 😂 . Looked over my past cycles and my most common day to ov is cd16-19 although have gone up to cd23 on some occasions. Either way ov is coming soon (hopefully sooner rather than later!) this month on SMEP doesn't seem as much of a slog although I find it's the 3 days in the row which is the hardest part.

CouscousEvaporator · 18/10/2019 12:24

I’m still waiting to ovulate, should be Sunday hopefully, gives us a weekend to try!
I had a weird dream about having a baby last night and I woke up all anxious about giving birth. Silly brain.

Fingers crossed you hit the right moments @ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia.

ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia · 18/10/2019 11:50

Hope everyone else is getting ok xx

ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia · 18/10/2019 11:46

Same as you @Plaw .. imagining the lovely family Xmas surprise!
Have managed to DTD 2 this week which is an improvement on previous cycles, were meant to DTD last night too but DH was too tired and had promised tonight 🙄
I have had a couple close to positive OPKs this week and I noticed some EWCM last night, my temp also dropped Thursday hoping that was ovulation, if it was then Tuesday DTD would have done it!

Plaw · 18/10/2019 11:31

How is everyone feeling? I’m trying to just stay positive now and whatever will be will be. There’s a part of me who would love to be 12 weeks at Christmas, would be a nice Christmas pressie & nice to announce to family then! I know that’s a tiny thing in the big scheme of things!

Sending positivity to all!Smile

My baby boy is 18 months today. I had an emergency c section and doctors told me not to get pregnant until 18 months after it. So now I feel it’s offically the time I’m ‘allowed to’ try!

ceebee21 · 18/10/2019 11:02

@CooperLooper

I'm now onto day 8, although haven't yet done one today.

It's getting ridiculous now, I am tempted to just not do one today and just wait and see when AF arrives... but I know I will end up doing one.

It is so frustrating haha

CouscousEvaporator · 17/10/2019 20:21

@BurnerPhone are you me? I’m watching one born right now 😂

BurnerPhone · 17/10/2019 20:16

Why is this two weeks going so slooooow?! I'm not helping myself watching one born every minute and dealing with an internal battle whether I can have a glass of wine
