Hi guys can I join this thread :)? X

mumoftwobeauts · 15/05/2020 19:27

@Hayleylou89 probably next Friday? I don't really know when my periods due. I stopped the pill 17th April. I was using ovulation sticks and my peak was Monday so presuming I ovulated tuesday, I'm now 3dpo :) I'll say I'll hold out until a week on Sunday but I know I won't 😂😂 you? Xx

Doughnut100 · 15/05/2020 19:19

@SmileyT oh and to answer your other question I have a few days off during my period as I use a cup so it gets in the way. But if you use a pad it's possible with a bit of manoeuvring, you'd just have to sit up and be careful so you don't stain your sheets.

Ladies,
I feel like I'm going to DTD until the end of time at this rate 😂😂

No positives yet and still flashing away.

I think once I get to CD20 I will stop everything xx

@SmileyT I will be completely honest with you - I don't sanitise my thermometer at all! I just wipe it. That does sound pretty bad Confused... but I only put the tip in and our natural defences are very good. I planned to use alcohol wipes and then never bothered. I've been doing it for a year and no infections or anything so it can't be that bad.

If you're considering it I can't recommend it enough, makes temping so much easier. My partner isn't even aware that I do it most days. One of the reasons I switched was my beeping thermometer disturbed him. I have a Bluetooth Emay thermometer from amazon now and it's silent, just tells an app on my phone the temp.

Doughnut100 · 15/05/2020 19:10

@VP91x thanks. I hope SMEP works for you! If we could have sex that often I'd do it, it's the way to know you've definitely done all you can each month. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

@JoandLily I know it is so so expensive. Hopefully they arrive quickly for you!!

@HE88 yeah if you have a plan for the month or doing things to actively conceive its the worst when it doesn't happen. I really hope it happens for you next cycle xx

@mumoftwobeauts onky just seen ur msg about being 2dpo yesterday!
Tww buddies, when will u test? X

HE88 · 15/05/2020 17:39

Also hi to all of those that have joined in the last day or so really sorry to hear what you have went through. Hope you find this group supportive xx

HE88 · 15/05/2020 17:37

@SmileyT I'm not holding out much hope. Oh what have you been buying? Xx

SmileyT · 15/05/2020 17:35

@HE88 I hope that you're not out and joining me on the June bus, I'm enjoying a lovely glass of rose and having a full weekend off off ttc, except for my amazon order of shit that might help next month 💁🏾‍♀️

Welcome @Doughnut100 and so sorry for your losses, hopefully you still find this thread a comfort in some way. I'm considering temping vaginally next month do you just use anti-bacterial wipes? And do you temp during your period?

HE88 · 15/05/2020 16:26

@VP91x I'm ok I know they say your not out until af arrives but knowing the way my cycles go in that I get spotting before af I'm out! It's just so frustrating the amount of time and effort you put into ttc to get a bfn. Xx

JoandLily · 15/05/2020 16:09

@VP91x thank you! Gonna wait till Monday I think, I ordered some cheap pregnancy tests off eBay and they haven't come yet, sick of spending a small fortune on them and getting BFN haha xx

Welcome @13Victoria ☺️☺️

I'm on CD17 too - although not sure if I have ovulated yet or not waiting for a further BBT rise. Not too long to wait to test! Xx

HE88 · 15/05/2020 15:09

Hey @VP91x I do have a Frer just not sure if I want to waste it. I'll see if I have anymore spotting the rest of today and tomorrow and take it from there. Xx

13Victoria · 15/05/2020 15:05

Hi ladies. I'd love to join! Really nice to read about others in the same situation.
I'm on cycle day 17 and my temp went up yesterday so I think I'm 2dpo though this is the first time I've temp'd!
I had a MC in Feb after falling pg straight away. I really thought I'd be one of those ladies who didn't have a period after and get pg straight away but nope! So next cycle I thought definately this time but no again. Hopefully things are back to normal now!
I got my bfp on cycle day 26 last time so I will probably test then.

@Doughnut100 welcome 👋
Gosh, I am so sorry you have suffered so many losses. I really hope that soon you get your bfp and have a safe pregnancy.

I think if I'm not lucky next month I will definitely temp vaginally I have read it can be more consistent which is good!

I understand what you mean with being under pressure to DTD. I am doing SMEP plan this month and it is alot. Been using pre-seed this month so there is less pressure to be "ready" all the time etc. Especially if feeling tired.

Xx

@JoandLily welcome too ☺️ sorry that you too have suffered a loss. Will you hold to AF do you reckon or about 12DPO?xx

@Donnat89 ahh, well 3/4 more days to go!! You're not out until AF shows. I know we read alot of positive stories but, I do see alot of women being PG and not having symptoms. I have everything crossed for you xx

@HE88 have you got a FRER to test with? Sending you a big hug if it is AF xxx

OP posts:
HE88 · 15/05/2020 14:23

Hey @SmileyT looks like I'll be joining you on the June ttc bus. Have had some spotting today which always happens before af. Also did a ic test bfn so I'm guessing I'm out 😔. Xx

Donnat89 · 15/05/2020 11:47

@VP91x thanks hun I plan on waiting for AF if I can , as early testing just seems to make things worse for me so would rather test when AF is due

I'm fairly certain I'm out this month but I will know in a few days ! X

Donnat89 · 15/05/2020 11:45

Found the second thread thanks @Renna !

I'm currently 9dpo possibly 10 I didn't track properly this month so I'm not sure

I have no urge to test at all and do have back ache and have been quite moody so I'm pretty sure AF will arrive next week how is everyone ?
