@Donnat89 yeah I'm reading it starts with the egg and have been on ubiquinol for the last three months. I also take omega 3 and evening primrose oil :)

@Juno231 no don't think so spitting has started so AF will be with me later today latest tomorrow .

Yes I did wonder how she is too xxx

Juno231 · 15/07/2020 13:26

@Donnat89 I'm hoping you ovulated slightly later and hence the BFN!

Btw I still think about Adrianoska from time to time and wonder how she's doing lol.

@Juno231 yes that's slightly annoying tbh ! So I get how you would feel

And always same AF symptoms so I don't think I would even know if I was pregnant or not going by symptoms as I seem to get them anyway I vaguely remember havi all the symptoms of AF last time I fell preg so I don't really know

Since I've stopped tracking etc last couple months I don't seem to get as many AF SYMPTOMS and no where near as early just 2/3 days before which is much nicer

Tomorrow is CD30 for me and only once have I had a cycle that long in the last year so will see what tomorrow brings xxx

@Donnat89 ha it's mind blowing. They had no idea how TTC worked and ended up downloading an app last month in time for it to tell her AF was late. I even had to explain to them why the app would say that she was 5 weeks pregnant vs the CB digi saying 2-3 weeks!

On one hand it's pretty useful having clear pre AF symptoms like you do but on the other yours seem to always be so early that your wait for AF seems super long! For the months when you've had your BFPs, were the pre AF symptoms still there or completely different?

@Juno231 it's horrible isn't it like
You want to be happy for them but at the same time you can't help but be a tad envious!

Yea I'm ready to start trying again now but I would like to stay as chilled as possible I was thinking about Temping but I think I would
Like to see the doctor first and get a few things checked and then go from there !!

I just want AF to come now hate having all the symptoms knowing it's coming keep going to the loo to check but nothing yet but should be on my tomorrow at some point xxx

Makes perfect sense @Donnat89 ! I'm just waiting for FW cycle 7. Had day 3 bloods done that came back normal and will do a day 21 test later this month too.

Not much else to report tbh! Am a bit bored of it all as it just is a waiting game at this point. Had another friend last cycle get pregnant on their very first cycle which made my eye twitch but used to it now!

Only other new thing is that I started temping last cycle and am actually really enjoying seeing the charts form! It's like the highlight of my day to see what my BBT is in the morning lol.

Hi ladies sorry I've been a bit of a ghost after the test 2 months ago it really did me in tbh so took a break from TTC currently on CD 29 last cycle I came on at CD26 so my cycle is all over the place I'm waiting until tomorrow CD30 before I test although I do feel like I'm gonna come one and usually my cycles are no longer than 30 days .

Will be back TTC next cycle I just needed the break .

Hows everyone getting on ?

Xxx

How is everyone getting on?

CD1 today, cycle 7. Cycle 6 was only 23 days long so I'm getting a bit worried... Contemplating telling the gp it's been a year just to get the ball rolling as it's all bound to take ages.

Hopesandrainbows · 17/06/2020 16:14

I'm back in the dreaded TWW again... 3dpo at the moment. I feel hopeful as always but I also dread the test when it comes and hate the anxiety leading up to it. This is now 6 months since I lost the baby and I've had two cycles that are normal now. Managed to have sex on ovulation day and the 3 days before (so everyday for 4 days in a row) and for once it was enjoyable rather than a chore. I tried to be more relaxed and told my husband that we need to do it at some point today but he needs to come onto me rather than me saying right we need to go right now! 😂 I just hope there is something happening in my body right now 🤞🙈 I cant cope! 😂

Ripleysfirst · 17/06/2020 13:26

Thanks @juno231 I will.

Juno231 · 17/06/2020 13:25

@ripleysfirst that sucks, im so sorry to hear that! Keep us in the loop when the process kicks off and hopefully you'll have your BFP soon enough xx

Ripleysfirst · 17/06/2020 12:42

Hey all, so unfortunately AF came last week.
I’m now moving on to the next stage, waiting for the fertility clinics to start up again so I can have IUI. Then if that doesn’t work (and I don’t think it will), I’ll be heading for IVF.
Because of COVID, there’s a waiting list of 30 people ahead of me, and that’s just for the planning appointment so i won’t be back in the 2ww for a couple months now. I just need a break from trying in the meantime. Baby dust and health to you all ❤️

Juno231 · 17/06/2020 12:01

@Donnat89 are you nearing AF again?

I'm on cycle 6 now girls, CD4 🤷‍♀️ - let me know how you're all getting on!

Ripleysfirst · 05/06/2020 20:05

I totally understand how you feel @Hopesandrainbows - this is literally the thing I want most in the world and it feels so far out of reach.
I can’t do anything MORE to control it. And I hate that.
9dpo today, BFN of course (I’m only using the internet cheapies). I had a glass of wine and a glass of champagne on my birthday and I feel guilty... it wouldn’t all be so hard if it was a guaranteed bfp and all this struggle had an end date!

Hopesandrainbows · 04/06/2020 18:27

@Juno231 well we started trying last October and I fell pregnant pretty quickly in the December but I miscarried just before New Years. So this is my 6th cycle since then. Seems to be taking longer this time. I know 6 months isn't that long but it feels like an eternity when you build your hopes up every month.

DTD is exhausting and I keep kicking myself that we didn't do it on ovulation day when I was in loads of ovulation pain. But as you said new cycle! We have said that this time every other day and then 3 days in a row when I get smiley even if I do feel like I can't anymore haha! And we did it twice in one day last cycle and then pressure got to us both and it's hard isn't it? I've never wanting anything so much xx

Florence13 · 04/06/2020 16:14

@Juno231 unfortunately my period arrived well at least I think it is I have been spotting on and off for several days now so think I’m just having a weird period. Onwards and upwards for the next cycle. Will keep my fingers crossed for you.
