TTC awhile now

Hi everyone !!
I've decided to chill with the Ttc for a bit and just dtd every other day. I've still not come on period since 9th I was due but neg test and don't feel pregnant. So guess my periods are just messed up. I don't even know if I am ovulating to be honest.
Hope everyone is well!

@Hola84 I'm exactly the same, every month I'm googling the same things, looking at my apps, etc. Basically driving myself mad. I'm ok until I get to 6dpo, mainly because 6dpo is the earliest that implantation can take place, and that's when I always start to symptom spot like mad 🤦‍♀️🙈 fingers crossed for your bfp! Xx

@BFP2020 how are you doing? X

@Tamalama, exactly same here! With my DS it was the first cycle since we've started having an unprotected sex and boom, baby on the way! Now, I feel like a lunatic, looking at the apps for hours, calculating the days, reading everything I can and checking if I got pregnant this month, when would the due date be 🙈🙈🙈 this time next week I should know, and feel weirdly confident. Good that it falls at the weekend, as bottle of wine will help me with the disappointment should that be the case! 😂 Good luck xx

@BFP2020 yep, I work Monday-fri 9-5 so it's finally the weekend! 😊
I know what you mean, every month I symptom spot (even though I say I won't) and I also build up my hopes. When I had my DD and when I got pregnant last year I didn't do any research, knew nothing about tracking my cycle, apart from my period, and knew nothing really about ov. It seems that I was more successful when I was oblivious! 🙈🤦‍♀️ I hope af stays away this weekend x

Morning ladies, fingers crossed for you all 😊

According to my apps my fertile period has now finished. In that time we've dtd CD 10, 11, 13 & 15. I got my positive opk at CD13 which I guess puts me as ov on CD14, so hopefully we've done enough. I wish we'd dtd on CD14 but we were both so tired 😕 I had lots of ewcm yesterday evening so I figured we'd just dtd anyway, even if I had already ov by then. We dtd 4 times during my 7 day fertile window so hopefully it's enough.
I've woken up this morning with a god awful migraine ☹️

Thank you :)
Although I've got home tonight and I'm 99.9% sure that period pains have started. It's just a dull ache at the moment but it's usually the start of it. Nvm, what will be will be I suppose

@Hola84 I have some cramping but wondering whether that's linked to the bloating or my ovulation is late as I'm only using apps at the moment. I've ordered some OPKs for next cycle

@ablisha, I am 20 day today too, not bloated, but feeling few cramps. Too soon for period pains, so really not sure what's that about. Have you experienced any cramping today/recently? x

@BFP2020, @Johnnybegood2 fingers crossed for positive BFP and no AF x

@Tamalama I'm day 20 today - although don't feel as bloated as yesterday!

So I've just been to the loo and had a lot of ewcm, the only amount I've had at all this month but I got my positive opk 2 days ago 🤷‍♀️ I've just done another opk which is negative as I thought it would be but because I've got ewcm I don't know whether to dtd, even though I got my positive opk yep days ago? 🤔 I'm so confused! Other than the ewcm just now, I've not had any at all this month....

Thank you :)

I took a test this month on day 30 and it was negative. So I'm now at the annoying point where I don't know if I'm pregnant but it was too early to test or, I'm not and this is just one of my longer cycles.

@ablisha I'm feeling bloated and windy again today 🤦‍♀️🙈😕 so not fun... what CD are you?

@BFP2020 I really hope the pains you're having will lead to a bfp 🤞 this tww really sucks.
I guess I'm 1dpo today then.

Hey Ladies, good luck to all of you. Is anyone due the BFP any time soon? I'm (not) expecting my period next Friday the 17th ;-) with the OPKs test and amount of DTD we've had, I am very hopeful X

@Tamalama that's how I felt yesterday. Really bloated and windy?
We have only just started trying so not sure what's normal and what's not!

@Johnnybegood2 welcome to the group! You're definitely in the right place for support 😊 x

@BFP2020 yes it's amazing how quickly the line goes from dark to almost nothing! I read online that women aged 35+ can ov within 12 hours of a positive opk. We didn't dtd in the end last night, we were both pretty tired. I'm hoping we've just done enough. I guess dtd a couple of days before I got my positive opk and on the day itself will hopefully be enough.
I've got quite a bit of cramping today though and I still feel bloated and windy.
I'm sorry to hear you're in so much pain 😕☹️ how many dpo are you today? X

Hi,
I hope people don't mind me joining this thread.
A bit about me. I'm 29. I came off Pill August 2018. Started TTC November 2018
Had alot of long cycles and a very stressful job. Found a calmer job closer to home so had about 4 months off TTC in 2019 before starting again October 2019.

My cycles vary between 28 and 36. Average of 30 or 32 depending which app I look at.

I've been struggling with the build up and disappointnent each month lately. Hearing other people finding it fun and my fb feed full of bambino not helping.

Hoping to find some women who can relate to my situation.
