Early December testing?

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? I'm currently 7dpo, no symptoms whatsoever, dying to test but holding out until 14th when af due. Anyone ready to test yet? X

@Planeteer I'm really sorry you're going through that! That must be really difficult bless you 😓 I hope it gets better for you, have you tried maybe agnus castus for your cycle?? X

@Gems7 yep, since yesterday i have become an obsessed woman again. I'm about 4-5dpo :) I dont know about the smears I think maybe you should wait till just before your fertile time if you arent pregnant now?? Or ring up and check? X

@gems7 not sure about smears when ttc but i know they don't do then on pregnant women so i am not sure if that starts immediatley after conception? Tell the nurse the situation and she can let you know if its safe :)

I had one the month before we started ttc just to make sure everything was okay as i think its difficult if there are any problems if you are pregnant. Fingers crossed they are able to do it!

Well girls I have been very relaxed and laid back about TTC this cycle but I'm starting to feel myself thinking about things more and more this morning. I am convinced I'm ovulating today, which would make my cycle 28 days exactly the same as last time. I've had lots of uncomfortable pains on one side this morning and a huge blob of EWCM first thing this morning. Me and OH DTD last night and Sunday so fingers crossed!

How are we all? @Robbo93 @Ellsbells112 @Gigi318 @Anny27 @Laur89 sorry if I've missed anyone!

Also does anyone know if cervical smear tests are safe when TTC I have one booked in a few days and am worrying.. I'm feeling really positive about this month and don't want anything at all to mess it up 😩 xxx

A quick message to send crossed fingers and lots of luck and patience to those in the 2ww.

Permission to whinge?

I have no idea what's going on with my cycles and I'm so bored of it. BFNs, negative OPKs, CD 42 and no sign of AF. I have had long and not hugely regular cycles for a while, but it just makes tracking anything soooo hard! I'm gonna need several billion OPKs, aren't I?!

Anyone else in the horribly irregular boat? Sorry for moaning. Here is some cake

@Robbo93 aww babe it's so bloody frustrating isnt it xx

@Ellsbells112 yes I suppose so. Just seems to have lowered rather quick .. I'll know more when I get my blood tests results back for ovulation (in the new year! 😭) xx

@Robbo93 it says that in some places but sometimes it lowers and goes high again etc you just never know lol because I thought that and started researching more then saw that sometimes it goes higher like 6 weeks into pregnancy after lowering! Everyones body is different. Maybe go with it meaning you havent conceived, then it's a nice surprise if you have (easier said than done) xx

@Ellsbells112 I just thought it stayed high for pregnancy or have I read that wrong somewhere? Xx

@Robbo93 hey girl, mine came down today. I think I'm 3-4dpo? I either ovulated on Saturday or sunday and my cervix lowered today. It's not a good indication to go by your cervix though it doesnt determine anything so dont look too much into it xx

Hey ladies. CD20 & I think i ovulated yesterday so now 1DPO.
Noticed my cervix (what I think is my cervix anyway) has lowered already. Is this norm? Xx

@Ellsbells112 yeah I do seem to ovulate between 18-20 (if I do ovulate..) and then have a shorter LP which concerns me but not the 2 doctors I've seen about it 🧐

I'm gonna count Ov as today I think as I've also got a banging headache and am quite hungry! Xx

@Laur89 oh that's lovely!! What part? I've only been to Lagos I think it's called? Lovely though. Why did you live over there are your family from there??
Well I was fertile this week and then I hit my fertile week again on the 27th, so it makes it seem real short lol.
We are going for 3 weeks, coming back on the 31st. We will be in Sydney but going to fly to Cairns and stay on an island where you can snorkel and catch a boat down to the great barrier reef. I'm so damn excited I tell you!! Lol haha it's really a dream come true, it's so expensive we would have never been able to do this even last year! So super grateful for it

@Laur89 ohhh how exciting!!! Portugal is lovely! Yes I'm in the dreaded 2ww 😭🤞
Actually this month is pretty cool because I've got two full fertile weeks in the same month lol so hopefully one of them works out!? Ffs lol and then I'm off to Australia in December to go stay with my sis over Christmas!! Xx

@charlie0692 mine are 28 days religiously but for some reason my app has it down as 29 even though I input 28! So it says I'm due the 16th but I think its more so the 15th. Anyhow, I'll test if it doesnt come by the 16th :) I'm already starting to feel obsessive though and I did so well last month, not symptom spotting or anything lol x

@ellsbells112 cycles are normally 26 days, and have been over the last 4 months although last month was 28 days. So I'm guessing it will be between 26 and 28 this month. How about you? When will you be testing? X

@charlie0692 how long are your cycles? Definitely try and wait it out lol also first responses are cheaper right now on Amazon x

@Robbo93 cool! How long are your cycles and do you normally ovulate around this time? X

@anny27 I dont think I'll be keeping busy lol I'm gonna try!! X

@ellsbells112 @charlie0692 hope you manage to keep busy in the TWW!!

Thats a good idea about not having any cheap tests in the house haha!

Hi @Ellsbells112
I'm CD19 today and glow thinks i ovulated yesterday but I have a feeling it's today as I'm sooooo wet down there (sorry TMI) I feel like I've started my period lol. Also had a new niggles on my right side this morning ... but hey I could have got this allll wrong lol xx

Hey @ellsbelles112 I'm good thanks how are you? I'm not tracking exactly for O but according to ovia app it was on/around 31st october (cd13), which I think is about right as I was getting some pains that afternoon that could have been ovulation pains. So I'm currently 4dpo today. Af due 14th november so I'm going to try and hold out until then and test that day if af hasnt arrived. I have 1 clear blue digital test at home (left over from last month) and I know they need much higher hgc to show positive so I'm not going to waste it and test early, and I'm not going to buy any others, that way i wont be able to test early hahah. Saying that I'll probably end up running out early next week for frer 🙈 haha xx

@charlie0692 @Robbo93 how are we girls? My fw just finished and managed to DTD from cd13 through to cd16 (yesterday). I had lots of ovulation pain on cd15 and cd16, ovulation pain on both sides! No EWCM though
How many dpo are you both now?

@Gigi318 hey chick, where are you in your cycle now?

Its so quiet here! Lol

Thanks @ceebee21 for sharing! Hopefully it doesnt take too long for you!

My SIL conceived first month with her first and then 3rd month with her 2nd so think it varries each time!

It took us from june - september to conceive so 4 cycles so not too long really. Hoping its not too long when we ttc again after thr miscarriage happens. Dont know whether to wait for first period or not before ttc.

@Anny27 don't worry, ask away.

We did try again straight away, although obviously didn't happen this time.

I had my implant removed on 9th July and had a BFP 6th August so fell straight away.

It's hard though, because now I just expect it to happen again straight away x
