Morning! @Nuggetlover27 good to be positive, and I agree every other day is best. Don’t want to burn out going for it every day 😂
CD14 for me and opk is similar to yesterday but EWCM is back so hoping for a peak soon. Last cycle was cd16 so maybe the same again!

Nuggetlover27 · 16/07/2020 08:22

Morning you lovely lot,
CD20 here and no peeks yet. But not worrying about that today. Trying to be positive.

I have a plan for this month. And my app seems to think I'm in the "fertility phase" so I'm gonna do what Dr Google says and DTD every other day, apparently it can be much more effective than every day as sometimes everyday reduces the quality of his ingredient 😂

@Leok83 all sounds really positive 😀 I'm really rooting for you! 💪🏻

@Annny27 sorry it looks like AF is here for you. Hopefully it's not though.

Leok83 · 15/07/2020 21:08

@Annny27 I'm doing great thanks, got 2-3 weeks yesterday on a CB digital and my test line was darker than control line so looking good so far! Also got results from my recurrent MC referral and no problems with clotting/thyroid and both myself and DH karyotypes are normal so delighted it seems to just be bad luck after all. Still light on symptoms other than soo tired but works also been crazy so not sure if I would be anyways!
I really hope that spotting goes away and doesn't turn into AF for you! You haven't been tempted to test again?

@SunnySideUp2020 and @ELM7 good luck with the TWW!!

Fizzl · 15/07/2020 19:17

@SunnySideUp2020 me too, I keep telling myself it won't be as bad as last month and everything will be normal this month! Here's hoping anyway! I'm also not too bad around ovulation I don't think but my mood takes a jump off a cliff just before AF 😬 my husband literally irritates the hell out of me just being in the same room and I will bite his head off over nothing. As soon as AF starts all is good again and I think he's the best 😂 poor man, it's lucky they don't have their own hormones to contend with when they have to deal with ours!

@Nuggetlover27 depending what my cycle does I normally ovulate around day 17-19 so hopefully you won't have to hang on that long for me! I've got about 8-10days to go yet.

@Annny27 that is positive that you've got to 12dpo without any spotting before now! I hope this isn't af for you 😞 have you tested again?

Oh yes I've worried about every possibility linked to having surgery! I don't tend to worry too much about that now but for the first few months after I was convinced the surgery would leave me with problems. I've even stopped worrying about my luteal phase for now and my worry has shifted tho 'what if my body never has normal cycles again'. Once I've stopped worrying about that I'll worry about something else, obviously 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

Annny27 · 15/07/2020 18:01

Afteenoon everyone :) 12dpo today and have slightly browny coloured cm so I imagine that's AF on the way! Pretty chuffed o haven't spotted untill now as iw as worried about a short LP!

Now I have a new obsession- did the surgery cause a blockage in my tubes @fizzl we always have to have something to worry about right 🤣🤣🤣

@SunnySideUp2020 I am not moody around ovulation but I am a right bitch before my period haha!

Ooh you are cycle buddies then @ELM7 and @sunnysideup2020

Hope my cycle buddie is doing okay @Leok83 💗💗

@scrumdiddly123 hopefully opks on the way up! Haha

@Nuggetlover27 ahh I HATE waiting for ovulation especially when its delayed!

ELM7 · 15/07/2020 11:38

@SunnySideUp2020 hoping to be up in Scotland seeing family for second week of the TWW (Hopefully keep me distracted from crazy symptom spotting) so let’s make a pact of Sun 26th as think that’s the day we will be coming home. Think we will be 12dpo at that point.

scrumdiddly123 · 15/07/2020 10:12

This mornings opk, had some ov type pain this morning but also loads of creamy cm so who knows! Will see what it looks like this afternoon! Stay positive @Nuggetlover27, hopefully it’s just round the corner for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Morning ladies ☺️

@SunnySideUp2020 haha! Yes we plan it too glad I'm not the only one lol. I hope your WW goes nice and quick! I also get very aggy around ovulation and tend to bicker with DH as everything annoys me. The joys of hormones? Lol

@Fizzl yes soooo frustrating! Maybe we will ov around the same time this cycle then

@scrumdiddly123 I haven't had any EWCM yet and lines faint for me also.

@SunnySideUp2020 @scrumdiddly123 I'm CD19 atm. Low again this morning on OPK. Will keep testing. Trying to be positive!

SunnySideUp2020 · 15/07/2020 07:49

@ELM7 mine is due 29th 😬
I told myself earliest i will allow myself to test is 24th. Otherwise ideally not before 26th ... what do you think???

@scrumdiddly123
@Fizzl hope your ov is not too far off 🥚

I had a massive fight with DP last night. He says that my ovulation makes me moody every month... does anyone else experience this?

ELM7 · 14/07/2020 21:55

@SunnySideUp2020 think we need a pack to not test until a certain point. When is AF due for you. I have average cycles of 27days so AF due 28th July.

scrumdiddly123 · 14/07/2020 20:54

Evening ladies, hope you’re all well! Sorry your test was negative @Annny27, I hate seeing a bfn 😩
No sign of OV for me yet, not had any EWCM for a couple of days and v faint line on opks so must be a few days away yet. Only CD12 and I normally don’t ovulate til day 16 at the earliest.
@Nuggetlover27 I hope you get your peak soon! What CD are you?
Hope the 2 WW flies by for you @SunnySideUp2020 and @ELM7- love how you peaked on the same day! Must be a good sign 😊🤞🏻

Fizzl · 14/07/2020 20:41

@SunnySideUp2020 and @Nuggetlover27 I'm CD7 so not started opk's yet. Will start them cd10. It's been quite nice not having to pee on sticks for a few weeks 😂 little things in life!

@Nuggetlover27 I think we can all relate to that frustrating feeling of why aren't things going right?! Trust me after my last 75 day cycle 🤯 I know what it feels like to feel let down by your own body, especially when you're trying to do everything 'right'

SunnySideUp2020 · 14/07/2020 20:00

@Fizzl @Nuggetlover27 DP and i plan our dtd schedule a month in advance 😁 especially since we have to pace ourselves as per doc recommendations!

@fizzl have you started opks?

@elm7 mine is also on high today !

@nuggetlover so we are indeed both on ovulation day. Tww starts tomorrow!!!
Sorry to hear yours aren't getting any darker... which CD are you on?

Nuggetlover27 · 14/07/2020 19:03

Hi girls
Feeling very disheartened today. Still no signs of a peak. Just wondering why things can't just go right for once?

@ELM7 and @SunnySideUp2020 are you both onto TWW now?

@Fizzl my husband asked me the same thing yesterday 😂 no spontaneous DTD here. Baby making isn't as fun as people think haha. Where are you in your cycle atm? Any sign of ov yet?

ELM7 · 14/07/2020 19:03

@Annny27 pleased to say hubby hasn’t hurt his back this month so DTD last night without the painful expression of the month before.

OPK has dropped back to high today so app is saying tomorrow will be 1dpo and the TWW will begin.

Fizzl · 14/07/2020 15:03

@SunnySideUp2020 your opk's definitely looked like they peaked! Hooray! No too delayed for you. Yours and @Annny27 stories made me laugh! I admire your dedication to ttc! We've not found ourselves in any awkward predicament yet 😂😂

I wouldn't worry about the sea washing things away. I'm pretty sure they say that the ones that are heading in the right direction will be well up in your uterus by now and won't be able to be washed away 😂 everything that falls out is apparently 'left over'. Lovely thought isn't it?!

TTC definitely loses all romantic passion! My husband yesterday asked when he needed to 'get ready' for 'thee' week and we discussed his shifts and how we'd get round it😂 really all spontaneity has gone out the window.

I love hearing positive stories for couples who have struggled. I know a few people who were due to start ivf and found out they were pregnant literally just before (one on the day she was due to go for her appointment!).

SunnySideUp2020 · 14/07/2020 09:27

@Annny27 oh that would be a killer for me 😅
I mean after all these months, the baby trying business is definitely not the romantic sweet loving anymore 😄 especially with the pressure of fertile week!

Are you planning on testing again? Or just wait for AF?

Annny27 · 14/07/2020 07:42

morning :) 11dpo and feeling a bit crampy and gross like i usually feel before AF 🤷🏻‍♀️

@SunnySideUp2020 glad you've managed to fit in some dtd haha! When we first started trying we were on a group holiday with friends during fertile week and they kept banging on the door asking us when we wanted to go for dinner or asking if we had any washing because they were gonna put some on. Was very funny and if they knew what they were interrupting they'd have been mortified :p

SunnySideUp2020 · 13/07/2020 21:37

And no not too delayed but DPs sister arrived this morning so we had to wake up earlier to dtd before picking her up at the airport but were still late (woopsie)

And then in the afternoon we had to put a video on YouTube to cover the noises 😅😅😅😅
Just played whatever i found and it was the commentary of a water-skiing competition 🤣🤣🤣
Weirdest session ever.....

SunnySideUp2020 · 13/07/2020 21:34

@Annny27 omg just saw it and honestly i felt emotional... 😁
Some journeys are so so hard ... but eventually it does happen.
Also read today abour Thor's wife (the icelandic huge man who played in game of thrones and does strongman)
They failed their IVF but then found it so disheartening that they thought of stopping but fell naturally!!

How was your appointment today?
Hope you weren't too down because of the bfn.

@ELM7 forgot that your dh had a sore back last time 😅

Annny27 · 13/07/2020 21:27

@SunnySideUp2020 oooh yayy for the peak! Not too delayed then p.s you also saw the thread with the lady who had her bfp naturally after five failed ivfs! I was soo happy when I saw her news 💗

@Nuggetlover27 fingers crossed it peaks soon!

@ELM7 get to dtd haha! Let's hope your hubby doesn't have a sore back this time haha!

OP posts:
SunnySideUp2020 · 13/07/2020 21:06

@ELM7 we are literally a few hours aaprt this cycle! I am peaking too today after all

Managed to dtd twice. But also went swimming in the sea so was worried it will wash them out 🤔

@scrumdiddly123 when mine are lighter is often because i dont test with same concentration. Either drink too much or dont hold long enough... might be this?

Nuggetlover27 · 13/07/2020 14:44

@SunnySideUp2020 and @scrumdiddly123 yay that's cool that we are all cycle buddies
So I'm CD17 now. OPK this morning was fainter than yesterday which is confusing 😖 going to start on 2 a day from tomorrow although if it's a normal post MC cycle for me I'm not expecting OV until CD21-25 but we will see.

@Fizzl I know what you mean. It's nearly a year for us too since we fell. So frustrating.

@Annny27 sorry for you bfn ☹️

ELM7 · 13/07/2020 12:49

@SunnySideUp2020 I’m peaking with you. We can try and keep each other sane in the delightful TWW!
