Second thread for ttc!

@Bbutterfly you better get dtd-ing 😂😂😂

Morning ladies ! I'm 2DPO today !! Already getting inpatient and struggling to distract myself I'm gonna order some ICS I think just to satisfy my
POAS cravings 😅😅😅😅

@AnnaB7 I've heard of people not ovulating some months, it's not uncommon xxxx

Morning everyone!

Just looking for some advice - we have been ttc for three months and it turns out this month I have not ovulated. Is this normal to not ovulate one month? I had a peak last month. My cycle is 37 days - so quite long. I feel quite worried about it.

Morning everyone and welcome to the newbies! I have had a lot to catch up on. I haven't been so crazy this month but then again I'll be entering my fertile week at the weekend so things will change lol. @ArjaD how's the fence coming along 😂 you never know this may be your month, you wasn't expecting hubby home was you so you still have a chance!
@dizzy85 send us a picture of the painting when you are done if you don't mind? It will be nice to have a picture of something different, before the pee sticks flood in 😂
@Ickleme8 hopefully this month could be your month, since you've seen a flashing smiley and you haven't before you never know! Interesting to hear you had acupuncture, what were the foods she suggested to you? I'm always intrigued to know what suggestions people make.
@Megan1591 it sounds like you caught your ovulation day perfectly, fingers crossed for you this month, I'm sorry that your treatment has been postponed but you never know, you might not need it after this!
@NicoleR14 how are you? I just finished Rachel Abbott 'right behind you' and I couldn't put it down. If you need any book Inspo lol it's a thriller for sure. Xx

@NicoleR14 that's good you've started reading that's a good distraction! I'm still busy with my painting hence why I keep forgetting to reply on here 😆 my period hasn't shown up yet and I've not tested yet I did have a bit of spotting when I woke but nothing else since I'm just gonna leave it another day or too and see if af comes.
@Sungirl11 I'm good Thankyou, as I said above to @NicoleR14 no af today or symptoms either tho 🤷‍♀️ I'm gonna wait and see still I think. How are you doing?

Hope everyone else is good. I've been rubbish at keeping up with everyone this month I'm trying to finish a picture for my friend so massively distracted but got everything crossed for you all 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻❤️

It's all we can do. I've even been cooking, and I hate cooking😂😂😂 cutting down on caffeine though, just having one cuppa a day and the rest is decaf, it's making me snoozy😴

1DPO today .... we've done all we can this cycle so now just get through the dread TWW I hate this part of my cycle but I'm
Trying to keep busy ! X

@ArjaD 10dpo! But no hopes haha

@Sungirl11 yeah he's OK. Good and bad days but I hope he is getting used to it a bit. 🤣 How's you? Where are you now in your cycle?

Hi everyone,
Hope you don’t mind me joining your thread @NicolaBx I’m also new to mumsnet and ttc. Nice to see a group like this of people in the same situation where we can share and support each other. We’ve been ttc for over a year now and have been actively monitoring ovulation taken vitamins etc for over 6 months. I’m 39 and my other half is 31, I had my bloods and an internal ultra sound done late last year and all seamed fine so without doing any other tests have been trying to improve the quality of my eggs, read it starts without the egg and then changed the vitamins I was taking 2 months ago to include cq10, alpha lipoid acid and changed to proceive max women. I also started seeing an acupuncturist (had 2 sessions but has now stopped due to covid19) and she also advise different things to eat at different points in my cycle. My dh was due to get sperminal analysis which is now also on hold due to the current situation.
Feel like I live my life in 2 week cycles between waiting for my ovulation window then waiting in hope that my period doesn’t start. Currently in my ovulation window right now and my test showed a smiley flashing face this morning, first time I’ve ever had a flashing face normal I get a circle or just a static smiley face.
Thought it’d be good to see how other people are coping with the current situation putting a lot of things on hold and also any advice anyone has.
Xxx

Glad you girls are keeping yourselves distracted! I am all day baking sponge cakes for husband to take to work haha they love a little sugar injection before their shift!
@ArjaD how is wee one doing? A bit better now after all this time? Hope so.
@NicoleR14 i have never missed af before like that and it's sooo weird! It will just mes you up a bit but try not to worry too much as it won't help. I'm glad you keep yourself distracted.
@Megan1591 welcome to the fun boat! Wow 4 years is a lot! For us it's one year now and i have had my blood tests posponed too... hope this ends soon and you can get your IVF.
@dizzy85 how are you? Any signs of af or a big suprise? fingers crossed!

@NicoleR14 no he works offshore so he's always home à few weeks then away a few weeks. That will carry on for now. Aw I've been reading a lot more too. And painting the fence 😂😂😂 trying not to wonder 'what if' too much this month which is hard enough..

Hey can I join? I’m only 2DPO, me and the DH (darling husband) have been trying for 4 years with no luck, we were meant to be starting IVF this month(due to low morphology) but has been postponed due to COVID. With us both being at home this month, we have given it a good shot. Only got one positive opk and negatives either side. Feeling realistic but forever hopeful.

Morning all, lots going on on this thread! Hope you are all doing ok. @NicoleR14 I'm really hoping you get some clarity soon, it sounds so stressful 😔 are you ok?
3dpo here and just taking it as it comes, we've been quite chilled the last week.

@NicolaBx hey welcome to the group, sorry to hear your struggling at the moment this ttc is a definite rollercoaster of emotions. And sorry about your chemical pregnancy too, i had a chemical pregnancy a few months ago and last year a MMC so I know how you feel. I have been ttc for ages now so I don't have any useful advice that works lol other than I guess just try to relax and don't overthink but I know it's an impossible task when it's something you want so bad.
But it does help joining these groups on here coz it's nice to know your not alone x

@Sungirl11 @Carol1980 @ArjaD thanks ladies and fingers crossed for you too 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@NicoleR14 sorry you still have no af and no answers, the only thing I can think of is stress I've had it myself before it's horrible. If I was you I'd really try to put it out of your mind and try keeping yourself as busy as possible I know that's hard especially in lockdown too but maybe if you can find something fun to do that you enjoy it might distract you enough and get things going naturally again.
I've not tested just waiting af is due tomorrow and no signs yet but also no symptoms either still I dunno if I'll test tomorrow or just wait and see.

@NicoleR14 I can't believe your AF is a no show and no BFP no wonder you feel so drained ! Xxx

@NicoleR14
Have you started testing opk's on the date that would would have had af shown up ?
If not I would wait until that date to do the opk's unless you've been told differently x
I wish I had an answer for you as to why your so late x it must be horrendous frustrating x

Evening everyone!
I'm 9DPO and i'm starting to have af symptoms now...
I want to try and see if i can get my last blood test (2days into af). I will call tomorrow to my GP and try my luck...
fingers crossed!
How are you girls doing?

Morning ladies hope you are all well ?

Today is ovulation day for me but we DTD last night and have been doing every2 days since AF finished so hoping we've covered all bases !

Will probably try to do every other day / every day until end of the week just to make sure we've defo caught
Ovulation then it will just be a waiting game

@NicoleR14 sorry to hear about the no show AF how frustrating! I hope you get
Your BFP soon !

Hope everyone is keeping safe and well ! Xxx
