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

@sammiantha2020 so I did read bits and bobs of it (I need to read it properly to be fair )but have no patience at the moment lol. I might read it once af arrives. The bits are read were good except where it obviously talks about BBT tracking and noticing CM and how they are the most most important indicators of ovulation. I wasn't too interested in that because as much I do know BBT tracking is helpful I know that it helps if you have been doing it for a few months and also I don't want to do it because it would just stress me out. I figured if I didn't conceive after 12 months I would start BBT. Just doing OPK tests has mega stressed me out let alone temp charting too 😂. Also it's crazy when you hear about girls get pregnant literally straightaway and like we all discussed yesterday maybe the relaxed approach really does help. I have literally been obsessing this cycle and not sure if I can do this next cycle 🙄!

@Wintergal oh no! Could be positive
symptoms maybe? Fingers crossed it is. How many DPO are you?

@Kendrick12 I can see a faint line. But I have also read on other threads from some people that the tests you are using tend to give out false positives. Have you tried a FRER? I would try that first. X

Hi everyone I've got a real crazy one for you here. So I normally have a girly regular 30-35 day cycle never any later than that!! I have 3 children and ttc #4. I have had at least 5 very faint positive tests ranging back from 7th January. I'm now on CD 41 and am now getting negative pregnancy tests but no sign of period or miscarriage etc. I am at a total loss as to what's going on, I've never been this late except for pregnancy. I get waves of sickness have had cramps on and off for weeks although nothing the last week apart from back ache, I've had sore boobs the last couple of days and still another negative hpt today! I really am stumped as to what my body is doing I will attach faint pos tests any advice would be very much appreciated. Has this happened to anyone before?? Thanks in advance. Xxx

@Jenna30ttc that’s it, just have to take the positives from it... useless cycle ended sooner for me 😂.
You’ll need to tell us what we’re doing wrong @Wintergal 🤷‍♀️ x

Ive just collected the taking charge of your fertility book from the depot. Looking forward to reading this. Not sure if this will actually help the relaxed approach but I've heard great reviews about it. Has anyone else read the book?

Wintergal · 21/01/2020 10:42

Yeah told myself I'd wait to Sat morning!

Jenna30ttc · 21/01/2020 10:41

@Sammiantha2020 oh no! You kind of knew anyway. I suppose now you know you can move onto the next cycle. 🙌🏽 Such a short cycle considering the last few cycles you have had. But mine were like that my first two cycles were 26,29,31 and last cycle was 30.

@Wintergal fingers crossed for you xx

@Sammiantha2020 this ttc has consumed my life for the last three months and I hate it. The relaxed approach is just what I need. On to the next cycle. 😊
