Anyone starting a new cycle?

So I should be in my fertile week but instead AF has just arrived 2 weeks early so means I only had a 16 day cycle. This is a new one on me! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh @Smarties87 there’s still time yet!

@Juno231 the dreaded TWW!! I’m in my fertile week and I haven’t managed to DTD yet 😭 I’m due to ovulate Sunday so haven’t quite missed the boat I hope! Trying not to symptom spot is the worst! Before I came on here I thought I was the only crazy lady doing it 🤣

I'm theoretically 5 DPO and just twiddling my thumbs! DTD 3 times in the five days leading up to the day my app said ovulation would be so hopefully we're in with a chance even though I have no clue if/when I ovulated.

Trying hard not to symptom spot and think I'll be able to hold off testing until the 18th. AF is due 21st...

Think I might be out this month, or slim chance at best. Not bought OPK this cycle (regretting it now) I'm on cycle day 13 and usually ovulate around now. Not having any signs that it's happening. Also having lots of spotting on and off...Feeling deflated at the moment!

Hey! How’s everyone doing? Is anyone in their TWW yet?

Hi can I join I'm 27 and just finished AF today (I hope) I'm 8 days into my cycle. This is month 3 of TTC and I'm off the pill.

Had a lot of issues coming off and I'm hoping things will settle now and I'll actually ovulate this month.

@Littlepeas2 AF is due 21st so I'm intrigued as to what will happen!

I've decided not to do OPK this cycle, just going to relax and see if it just happens without stressing about planning! First AF since miscarriage and it was different, 7 days long (I'm usually 4-5) so not sure if my usual ovulation day will be slightly off too. I usually ovulate cycle day 13-14. Im on cycle day 10. We'll soon see!! It's so frustrating and exhausting isn't it. I try not to get too caught up in it all, but it's so hard not to symptom spot and get hopes up etc.

@Raizelrea I'm just sticking to folic acid, vitamin D at the moment. I'm trying to drink more water, exercise and incorporate more veg (bought a juicer!).

5dpo today xx af due next weekend xx praying she doesn't arrive xx

@3isthemagic life just gets in the way sometimes doesn’t it! So hard to always make it priority isn’t it!

@Juno231 oh no that must be so frustrating. I haven’t used any OPKS so far as I’m worried I will become to caught up on them. Crazy how our mind can be so strong too isn’t it. When is AF due?

I'm CD13, due to ovulate around CD16 but I'm away with work, haven't had any increase in CM whatsoever so no BD so far this month - I'm really not feeling it at all after all the wasted effort last month!

@littlepeas2 feeling a bit defeated this month to be honest! Was my fertile week this week but never got a positive OPK so I'm not sure I've ovulated? Had sharp twinge on the left ovary on Thursday that might have been an indicator but I don't think I get that normally so could just be symptom spotting.

I'm not holding my breath but stupidly I also keep thinking that because I feel like it was a write off it might not be as things happen when you least expect them to! Silly brain...

Hi ladies! How are you all doing? I’m
Going into my fertile week from Wednesday! Trying to go in positive :)

@ChampooPapi @Juno231*@Raizelrea @Smarties87* @3isthemagic @AliSxo @MrsPattenson

Thanks @Littlepeas2, that's such a lovely thing to say and a really nice thing to log onto mumsnet to see for me too!

Well right back at you, Love your attitude 💜

I'm also trying for number 3, doing a lot of hoping and wishing but keeping mindful as well as letting it hang out, I certainly need that balance otherwise I start spiraling.

Big up the sisterhood! This thread is fantastic @Raizelrea, thank you for setting it up and yes, immediately start doing that deed!

Hi @Littlepeas2 I've got quite a gap! My DS are 13 and 11. Not sure if this month will be it for me as it's my first cycle, but tracking my ovulation will at least give me some hope that it may happen again. My AF had already gone on longer than usual, but I was told it can take a few cycles to settle down.

Hey @Smarties87 I’m trying for my 3rd too! How old are your other children?

Can I join? I'm 33 (just missed out on the 32 club) birthday was Yesterday! Im trying for my 3rd. On cycle day 4, usually 28 day cycle but this is my first af since miscarriage in January, so could be out of whack. Going to try opk this month just to see where I'm at with ovulation and whether it's delayed. Fingers crossed for everyone.

@ChampooPapi love your outlook this month! I’m going to go into this month positive too :)

@champoopapi haha well if I am then I am blissfully unaware of it! Starting my OPKs today and had CM this morning which I don't usually have so I assume it's a good sign for fertile week commencing! Am paranoid that I will somehow miss OD though due to my cycle having been a bit funny recently.

Am so keen for this to be my month as I mentally would be feeling sad about going another year without a baby and this is my last shot at 2020... Plus I keep thinking it would be fantastic to tell OH on his birthday which is at the end of the month!

Sorry @Juno231 I meant CD 8

@Raizelrea hey, how are you feeling? Fresh week and ready to hopefully have as much sex as humanly possible when my partner is back Thursday untill Monday. Went for it this past weekend so 4 notches on the bedpost so far 🙄🤞

I don't trust these ovulation tests hence why I starting bd early plus with the man being away in the week it's the only chance.

I am feeling very positive about my chances this month, I feel like I'm just going to let myself believe for once, and throw myself into that way of thinking . Why not, if it doesn't happen I can spend next month being a realist again.

It's only cycle 5 for me so keeping the faith that my body might still not be ready yet, or the universe might not be ready yet for my third baby yet.

@Juno231 how are you getting on generally? I know your only on cycle day 5 but strangers things have happened then women getting pregnant the week after their period (it happened with my last)

All the best to all you ladies 💜

@MrsPattenson hello! We're on the same CD! Cycle 2 for me but I don't think I'll start BBT until I'm a few more cycles in. Thinking I might use pre seed next cycle if AF shows up again though.
