TTC Thread #2

Can anyone see anything ? X

Do you think it will matter if we don't DTD tonight? Static smiley last night and we DTD then. It's so hot and I have a feeling DH will not be up for it. He gets so agitated when it's warm in bed.

@Daffodil21 I'm okay thank you 😊 I'm in the stage between AF and ovulation and I always find this part of my cycle much easier. Although I'm sad about it, I'm trying to take the positive from the early miscarriage, that I can actually fall pregnant. My biggest fear before ttc was that I wouldn't be able to fall because of endometriosis. Now I feel like it is possible. Still thinking about whether I want to try OPKs or not, but I just know I will get obsessed and feel like it might just cause stress.
How are you doing?
@Summertime1992 Thank you, that is reassuring if yours lasted 5 days too. Thought maybe my body was trying to ovulate and couldn't and that's why it lasted so long. Think I'm just being paranoid and thinking to much into everything. Glad to see your feeling well.

@Dreaming101 found it 😃👍🏻 x

@Bam27 I tracked mine last cycle I had one day of watery discharge followed by 5 days of EWCD then after a few days started getting creamy white discharge. Hope that helps :)

Hope everyone is keeping well and good luck for this cycle.

I still dont feel pregnant yet although have been having a cat nap in the afternoon at work all this week and getting up in the night to wee. I have my booking in appointment on 10th July so that may make it feel more real.

@Dreaming101 is that on insta ? Wanna have a look 👀

@Daffodil21 since September it makes me feel so sick and I also take inositolwith it too

@Daffodil21 just followed you back I’ll message you now, I’ll out myself back 😂
No one knows about us TTC apart from my husbands sister!

Aw thank you, it’s a little home but enough for us for now!

@ALew15 @Daffodil21 aw that’s okay, I don’t have anything personal on there it’s an open account. It’s @ ourmordenhome

I’m not sure if anyone has tried a herbalist and I may sound so crazy but a friend of mine went to one after having really irregular periods after the pill. They gave her a remedy and she caught within 3 months. I am going to speak to her once I’ve had my blood tests!

Does anyone else track cm? If you do, how long do you have ewcm for? .. I get ewcm for at least 5 days sometimes over a week, is that normal? When I've looked online it always days three days before ovulation.

I've been quiet but have been reading all the comments daily. Hope you are all okay. Seems I'm not the only one with messed up cycles, mine vary from 28-42 days.

@Daffodil21 it has been a long road . I was diagnosed with PCOS last September they put me on metformin. And now getting sent to fertility clinic have already been told I am not eligible for IVF because I will be 35 in August and because of my weight. I have been doing the Keto diet since April lost 1st. They think that just metformin will do the trick at the moment.

This is a screenshot of my app using those tests.

@acaciabluebell I haven't tried doing those tests earlier on.. I normally do mine at around 7-8pm but I've had really similar results to yours and I'm on CD16 now.. I would try different tests to be honest as I think these are making us worry for nothing!

@SaraVB I normally did them around 4pm/5pm ish, sometimes then again at 8/9pm. Today I did it at 10:30am cos I was annoyed lol and there was at a tiny faint line, which is better than before.

Sorry realised i missed an entire page of the thread when I wrote my last message hahaha

@Dreaming101 I follow so many home renovation pages on insta, I love it! What is yours called?

@Daffodil21 cycles vary from 30/25/26 days. Yeah next month I think I will cut out OPKs, DTD regular throughout cycle and and test if AF doesn't come after 30 days. I only found out I was pregnant last year because my period was about a week late. I need to be that chilled person again.

Great news @ALew15 and @Th197! I've ordered the CB digital opks and in the meantime I've managed to find some better quality OPKs
at the pharmacy near my house (still not digital). I tried doing the test a little earlier in the day today instead of after work. It was a little bit awkward getting there with the test and little cup unnoticed but at least I got a decent line this time!

Hi @Tofu35 welcome to the thread :) Sorry not much help with the opks this is my first month using them and haven't tried the CB yet.

@acaciabluebell not sure if you mentioned already but at what time are you doing the opks? I wouldn't worry too much just yet.. the apps are just an indication My doctor said that it's perfectly normal to ovulate quite a few days after CD14 even if you have a normal length cycle.

My sis in law is 12 weeks along and they had only been trying for 2 weeks I could not believe it how do people get so lucky ? 4 years I have been trying and nothing. I think COVID hasn't helped DH got the corona in March was so Poorly for 3 weeks I am worried it has affected his swimmers. I am just gonna put my symptoms down to hormones because of the meds.

@Daffodil21 currently trying to plan around FW but after reading the posts here, I may rethink this and start DTD throughout cycle. Good luck with your kitchen project!
I think wfh definitely extends the amount of time you can count yourself as new, until you can complain about the commute or about the funny smelly in the communal microwave, you're a shiny new worker.

@Daffodil21love home renovation projects! Hubby and I bought a new build last year and still seem t be changing everything and anything!! I have a home insta account and it’s such a lovely little online community of people doing their own projects!
