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

@Jenna30ttc maybe it’s just worth giving up the tracking and dtd every 2nd day after af is finished until like day 20. I’m truly fed up of thinking about it x

I am with you! Let's try and keep each other relaxed next cycle!! I've updated my apps (I know last minute) and it's now saying I ovulate last week 16th!

Jenna30ttc · 20/01/2020 21:12

@Sammiantha2020 @Wintergal definitely! Ive heard a lot people say and read that they got pregnant when they least expected it. But I have no idea how to be relaxed when you also need to know when you are ovulating. My SIL came off the pill In October and got pregnant straightaway and she didn't even track! I would say that's pure luck. So frustrating though when we try so hard. I have been stressed this month so I don't think that helped me this month. 🙄

Do you ever think if we just gave up... it might just happen if relaxed? Sometimes I wonder if being too stressed messes with us x

I am with you we all deserve good news soon

Jenna30ttc · 20/01/2020 20:31

@Sammiantha2020 @Wintergal without sounding patronising we must be fucking angels to keep doing this to ourselves 😂. I hope we all get some good news soon x

Wintergal · 20/01/2020 19:47

@Jenna30ttc yeah it's a nightmare waiting and not having a clue what is going on.

I always get af exactly 14 days after I ov, last month I had a 33 day cycle & ov’d cd 19, then this month I ov’d cd 12...so guessing I’m due af on Thurs. Not sure if I’m a good example though as my body might still be going a bit mental.
I’m 100% fed up...I’m not sure how we do it either 😔 x

@Sammiantha2020 I honestly don't know how us women do this everything month! For me this cycle has been the worse. Im CD22 and due af on the 28th. My cycle is the same as you usually 30/31 day. I use the green opks from amazon which I find really good well I did last month when I got the positive opk. This month nothing. Can i ask when you usually ovulate? Do you ovulate the same time every cycle?

@Jenna30ttc I’m absolutely fine, just desperate to get onto my next cycle as this one was a complete waste of time, hopefully I’ll know where I am next one. What kind of opks do you use? I’m cd 24 & due af on Thurs going by my lp (as this was a short cycle at 26 days for me, usually 31). I think my body is still settling down after everything.
What cd you on? How’s it all going? x

OP posts:
Jenna30ttc · 20/01/2020 19:17

@Sammiantha2020 just read your post! CD24. Sorry that you feel that way but you never know. However I know it's easy to say and tbh i completely understand I feel the same. I prefer feeling negative about that having hope and being disappointed when you see the BFN.

Jenna30ttc · 20/01/2020 19:15

@sammiantha2020 hi sorry that I didn't reply to your last post! Slightly changed my name from Jenna30 to Jenna30ttc. So since my last post I kept testing but never got a positive opk. Im due on the 28th but have no idea when i ovulated so not sure what DPO I am. Which is frustrating. How are you doing? Where are you in your cycle? Sorry if I've missed this.

Wintergal · 20/01/2020 18:35

Thanks @Sammiantha2020 it's prob nothing. You never know fx for you also!

Sammiantha2020 · 20/01/2020 18:31

I’ve got my fx it’s a good sign for you! I’m on cd 24, due af on Thurs...desperate for it to hurry up as I know I’ve no chance this cycle due to timing 😢 x

How many days are you into your cycle? x

OP posts:
Wintergal · 20/01/2020 18:09

I am not sure I was testing everyday for a week then I give up and went back to end of pasty week. I feel so wiped out today and couldn't even enjoy my coffee to pick me up

Sammiantha2020 · 20/01/2020 18:01

I felt that way when pregnant before my mmc...are you sure you haven’t ovulated? x

Wintergal · 19/01/2020 17:15
