7 months ttc (cont of 6 months ttc)

Yea @Seafrontsky haven't ruled out that it's thrush either, gonna see if I can get urine tested on Mon as I hate taking abs especially if I don't need to

@Nat4392 what do you think of preeseed? I've only used it twice and was expecting it to be runny/run out but it didn't (maybe tmi) definitely made things a bit easier down there. How much have you been using?

They sound nasty @Annny27. I'm prone to thrush so not completely free from discomfort down there! For months and months it would only flare up around ovulation. Was so annoying!

I do hope so too! @DSC1 @Twinkletoes85

@Aokbaby I’ve had one uti since TTC and that was only when I used conceive plus internally. A few women have had that problem from what I hear. I have no problems with preseed though. It prob doesn’t help not peeing straight after either! Get some cranberry juice down you!

@DSC1 I was thinking that but I always go straight after, maybe wait max 5 mins to give the swimmers a better chance. Girls you're so lucky if you don't get them, horrible old things @seafrontsky @Annny27.

Fingers crossed this is your month to all in tww, as @DSC1 said we are due some bfp in this group 💕

@Annny27 I feel like this group is due some BFPs, especially with all the great tips that people have been sharing. Fingers crossed for us all.

Supposedly due on Wednesday but could be earlier! @dsc1 @seafrontsky

I am feeling fairly calm tbh!

Good morning everyone!
My cycle buddies @Annny27 @Seafrontsky no real symptoms either. What day are you due on? According to Flo I’m due mon but that would make my cycle 27 days and I vary 27-29 days and also ovulated a day or so after Flo predicted so think Weds more likely. I’m also thinking that if I don’t fall this month I may give the OPKs a miss this month... we will see.

@Aokbaby are you waiting to wee after DTD if you are in your FW? That could possibly be causing them

Oh that's rough @Aokbaby dont get them myself but more BD would make sense for more UTIs I guess. Lots of water and rest and take it easy?

@Annny27 10 DPO here also. No symptoms either but I'm actively avoiding thinking about them as they drive me nuts by the time AF comes and then the disappointment is mega. How you feeling? When is AF for you? I'm still not due another 7 days so the wait game is real!

morning:) 10dpo for me but no real symptoms- but thats never a true indicator haha

@Aokbaby I am not prone to utis but I know some women who are get them more often when ttc!

@DSC1 are you having any symptoms at 10dpo or non as well? Haha

Anyone else due to test soon?

Anyone getting recurring uti's with all this bding? I think I have one at present, just started using pre seed too so maybe that's a contributing factor, not sure! 🙈🙈

@posy1 I guess you're right, I'm definitely more aware of everything, I spend pretty much all day every day thinking about TTC. I'm much better now, OH cooked me steak and just chilling out in front of the TV. I'm sorry he didnt book his analysis on time, is it possible people may cancel and he might get one sooner? Hopefully it's a sign that you wont need it and you'll get a BFP soon. Sending you loads of luck.

@KK251289 its difficult to know isn't it. I take supplements too and always question how they are impacting things. It could be that we are just more aware of our bodies with tracking ovulation etc. The stress of TTC probably amplifies things too I think! How are you feeling now? Hope you have a nice relaxed evening planned.
It hasn't helped me here that OH didn't book his semen analysis in time today and all the slots are gone now until more are released. So frustrating. 😖

@Posy1 I'm sorry to hear you're feeling unwell. Look after yourself. It's so weird because I dont remember ever having it before. Maybe it's something to do with supplements I'm taking making hormones worse

I am also reading it! Whoever it was that originally mentioned it, Thank You!!
I have always known I'm not quite right and suspected hormones.
And I thought I knew my stuff but this book is just wonderful in how it explains things.

@Hoping41 I downloaded that book last night on your recommendation. Its funny, I feel great just before ovulation, but really wish I felt the same the rest of the month! I wonder are some people more sensitive to hormones and suffer hormonal mood swings more.

@Hoping41 definitely in my kristen Stewart eating chocolate stage at 9dpo 🤣🤣

Period power, the book I'm listening to, calls estrogen - in the first half of the cycle - Beyonce because it makes you feel confident, outgoing and sassy. Progesterone - in the second half - is kristen stewart. All introverted, quiet and likes to stay home.
I know this is quite odd but it fits so well with my monthly moods! Hormones, eh?!

I hope you feel better soon @kk25129

@KK251289 I always feel rubbish for a day or two after ovulation and it also affects my sleep, some cycles worse than others. Feeling it today myself too - Im 2dpo. It's horrible, like having 2 lots of PMT a month. I also get AF like cramps for a day or two around ovulation. As people have said, its prob those crappy hormones. 😖

Hi all

@skittles2003 I sometimes get restless legs, not linked to ovulation or AF so could be something else! Sorry you and @kk251289 aren't feeling good, hopefully it will pass!

Definitely agree it feels like theres a new challenge each time!

I'm finished with AF so onto dtd from here! Going to te eye every second night and then maybe a couple in a row once I get my peak on the clearblue. Probably won't ovulate for another week but always worry it will be early and I'll miss it! I'm at the very hopeful stage where it's literally all up for grabs!

Thanks @skittles2003 I'm sat with a hot water bottle on a work call, same as if AF is here. I usually enjoy the first waiting week, as theres no pressure of DTD and usually no symptoms but here I am. It just seems every month this all somehow gets more complicated. This month very early AF pains, last month AF was 3 days late, I'm just not even sure where I stand anymore!!

@KK251289 ah that's rubbish, I'm sorry you're not feeling great. I often feel pretty sick after ovulation and from reading it's not uncommon, it's just due to rapid changes in hormones 🙁 it should get better as your body adjusts, but then it's all change again a few days before AF... Oh fun!

@skittles2003 I've been using the clearblue ovulation tests got my first static on Tuesday, to be honest it's only my 2nd month using them so dont fully understand them. All I know is I see a face and DTD! My app says ovulation was yesterday. I just feel absolutely rotten, pretty much how I feel when AF is due to arrive. Imagine if I have this for the next fortnight. Hopefully it's just something else.
