Hi Ladies, any of you out there around cd 8 looking for someone to chat with during the rollercoaster ride that is ttc? A lot of my friends already have kids and I’m feeling a bit left behind. xo

Hey @Brodijen of course you can join ☺️. I’m so sorry to hear about your mmc it’s devastating! Onwards & upwards though as we will all get our BFP’s in 2020!! I would high recommend a bbt thermometer for your next cycle IF you aren’t lucky this month ( 🤞). This is my 3rd cycle trying since mmc & strangely ov’d on cd12... a bit gutted as I was much later previously so a bit of a surprise ...it was almost 3 days prior to ov since we last dtd 😔. I’m always here if you ever want to vent! x

Hey gals can I join in? @Sammiantha2020 I feel like I’m very much in the same boat as you- in my 2nd cycle trying since I had my MMC at 12 weeks in October. We only tried for a few months to get pregnant last year and I never used OPK until after my MMC. Really hoping to get pregnant again soon, I’ve come a long way since the miscarriage but I still feel like I won’t be fully happy till I’m pregnant again. Got a BFN after trying at Christmas and then AF arrived as normal. But on CD12 now so hopefully starting my fertile window this week. Fingers crossed for all of us, it can be a lonely road!

I don’t usually ov until cd 17-19, however this month I ov’d on cd12 🤯 confirmed with opks & bbt thermometer - weird! Not much chance of a bfp tho as we only dtd almost 3 days b4 as I thought it was too early 😔. How’s this cycle treating you?

@Sammiantha2020 the app is telling my window is not until a week today we be have been doing the DTD everyday two days. The waiting is so annoying! Am on CD13

It’s ok...other girls I chat with on other forums told me it was the best for recording bbt & it’ll pinpoint ovulation after it occurs. Whereas using opk’s only doesn’t confirm ovulation, only that you’ve had an LH Surge, though you can have a surge & not ovulate 😔 I didn’t know this until last month!
Do you use any apps?

How do you find the FF app?

Sammiantha2020 · 08/01/2020 21:54

God knows! This is my first month measuring bbt, however apparently the FF app will confirm ovulation within the next cpl of days once I’ve added tomorrow & Friday’s temps! I guess my cycles are still rather messed up after my mmc in October - ah well! Means I’ll only have managed to dtd 2 days before ov! x

@Sammiantha2020 how much should your temperature increase by ?

Sammiantha2020 · 08/01/2020 21:41

@Wintergal my apps told me I wouldn’t ovulate until Sun/Mon, however I got a + opk lastnight, just waiting to see if I have a temp rise in the morning to confirm ov. Only on cd 12 which is quite unusual for me.

Hi @AfterGlow87. Never worry about having a good moan - that’s why we’re all here! Fingers crossed that once you see the consultant all is ok. If ever you want to let off some steam you know where we are x

Hope it’s ok if I jump in here too! Second cycle trying for first baby - 6dpo today. I was feeling positive about it all until I was scanned last week and they seen a potential tubal blockage on the right side, unsure about the left. I work in a fertility clinic and know the potential outcomes of this so it’s upset me a good bit. Getting a referral to see a consultant in the next couple of months but feel like giving up - sorry for being a moan! Wishing everyone the best of luck this cycle!

Wintergal · 08/01/2020 21:04

My apps are telling I won't ovulate until the 17th feels like it's never coming but still getting unusual every 2/3 days

How do they work? Can you only do them once a day? Though I suppose too expensive to do anymore than that!
That’s me every morning with my new thermometer - crazy shit what keeps us amused these days 🤣

I feel like going back to work is rubbish... last month and even before that I was always thinking oh well, lots to look forward to over the Christmas period, and now it's just nothing.

I need to book a holiday lol x

Hey @mumworkstudywine how are you? Welcome! I’m going to do my first opk of the day/cycle @ 2 but only on cd 10 so imagine there will be a hint of a line...keeps me occupied though 🤣. The pinching sounds like ov is nearby for sure - just keep dtd and it’ll cover you! My oh already thinks I’m nuts & he doesn’t know the half of it lol.
I’ve come back to work today & found out someone is expecting 😔 boo! Weird mixed emotions as I’m so happy for her (she experienced a loss a few months before I did) suppose I just have to see it as a positive and that when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!
