@Bellaphant the first time I got pregnant I got a BFN 2 or 3 days after AF was due... didn’t get a BFP til I was over week late I think.

@Merrz I’m sorry Sad

Merrz · 18/10/2020 21:37

F**k sake, cramping started tonight so af will likely be in the next couple of days. Onto cycle 7. We dtd loads over fertile week like 6 out of 7 days between cd11 and cd18, I really thought we were in with a good chance this month Sad

Bellaphant · 18/10/2020 21:18

So now I'm really confused. Just had a lamb curry, got horrible heartburn, puked everywhere. And then again.

I do have my first driving lesson in forever tomorrow and I may be nervous. But like...wtf body?

Evening Team TTC!

FW (or, as DH and I call it, Rabbit Week Grin) commences today. Has anyone here tried SMEP? Or do you just go like the clappers every day? It took 5 cycles for us to strike lucky with DS, I’d like to fine tune my methods somewhat- have got a fresh tube of pre-seed, and last time I used my mooncup to keep everything in there so I didn’t have to lie with my legs propped up (which I know makes no real difference, but I did it anyway)

Qwom · 18/10/2020 14:41

Exactly @Mommabear20 ! At least you'll have fun trying! 😁

Tbf I think conceiving on our first month twice was asking abit much! 😂
I'm more bothered about how perfectly it all would have fallen for us but as long as (when it happens) everyone is happy and healthy it'll be perfect in its own way 🥰

Oh boo @Mommabear20
Looks like this month hasn’t been kind to anyone on this thread!
@Annie1290 a withdrawal bleed is great news, it means your body is reacting properly to the drop in progesterone.

Annie1290 · 18/10/2020 09:16

Withdrawal bleed for me this morning I think. Glad in a way, hoping it's a good sign of things getting back to normal.

Qwom · 18/10/2020 08:19

Nooo @Mommabear20 Sad
Well there's always next cycle xxx

BFN this morning :(
Will wait for AF to confirm but looks like I'm out this month

I go old school and just use a paper calendar...

Waiting4another · 18/10/2020 03:18

@Mommabear20 Can’t wait for the update...🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Qwom · 17/10/2020 17:19

Fx for you @Mommabear20 Smile

Decided to test tomorrow instead of waiting till Tuesday. DH has the day off tomorrow so IF it's a BFP it'd be nice to have the day together 😊🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

@Waiting4another exactly!
@littleeggcup I am using Maya, I have used it for 4 years to track my cycle but it can be used for TTC too! 😊

littleeggcup · 17/10/2020 12:54

What apps are you using for ttc!?

I have Premom and Flo xx

Waiting4another · 17/10/2020 10:55

Haha @Bellaphant, I didn’t either, I stumbled out of my GP appointment in shock and mouthed it to him in the hallway, then got whisked off for bloods by a nurse immediately, by the time I finished with bloods DH had done a lap of half the block in shock, I had to call him to find him!

Waiting4another · 17/10/2020 10:51

@littleeggcup Sorry to hear that, must have been very tough to go through. Sounds like you are well prepared though, so hopefully everything goes well for you this cycle!
@Qwom oh yeah, ooops, so I guess AF would have been good news for you!
@Annie1290 hope you have more luck with the OPKs than I have so far! I think the stats are in your favour 90% supposed to ovulate within 4 weeks of removal
@Mommabear20 yeah, I have no patience, so I found out with my first at like 11 weeks, but DH wanted a surprise, so I then couldn’t tell anyone, which was fine by me though...
Thanks @Char899, you might need to give us all a crash course in temping if it ends up working well for you this cycle!

Bellaphant · 17/10/2020 10:28

I tested, negative, but I'm not expecting af until tuesday-thursday Ish. Think like @Mommabear20, going to wait now! And then buy some opks, lol

@Char899, I was convinced for you. I guess

I waiting is the norm, though.

I did not have a very sweet 'engaging the father' story last time. I tested and woke him up telling him we had broken tests, lol.

Annie1290 · 17/10/2020 10:15

@Waiting4another nope nothing here yet. Have ordered some OPK's they should be here today.

Char899 · 17/10/2020 10:06

@littleeggcup I’ve started temping too! Fx it works for us both this month! I’m just a couple of days behind you :)

@Mommabear20 that’s such a nice idea! I might do that too. Only thing is if it’s bad news I’d rather break it to him gently instead of seeing his sad little face! He was really disappointed when af showed up this morning.

@Qwom looks like we are very similar! LH due around the same time so we can be freaking out in the tww together!

@Waiting4another I’m willing your af to show ASAP so you can start ttc properly!

Come on bfps!! I want to see lots this cycle!

Mommabear20 · 17/10/2020 09:58

@Waiting4another yeah! He felt so disconnected from the baby until she was born (I don't think not knowing what we we're having helped) so hoping we can do more stuff to help him feel involved and connected this time round :) and I'm not patient enough to wait to find out what we're having a second time! 😂

OP posts:
Waiting4another · 17/10/2020 09:55

@Mommabear20 that’s actually really nice - I think dads can feel really left out of the process and this is a really sweet way to include them... not that I would be nice enough to hand over my sticks 😂

littleeggcup · 17/10/2020 09:54

Yes, been really lucky when trying before. Fell on first cycle, he is nearly 9 now!!

So it was pretty heartbreaking going for a scan at 5weeks and not seeing the sac in my uterus but right tube. It was emergency surgery that day as I had 100ml roughly blood around it so it had already begun to rupture.

I've waited for first period which is now and the doctor who performed my surgery said I can try now.... although lots of people say to wait 3 cycles.

So cd3! And I've started to temp too. See if it'll help. And I have opks! Xx

Qwom · 17/10/2020 09:52

@Waiting4another we haven't started TTC yet - all go after AF has buggered off 😅😁
@mommabear20 - I am impressed with your willpower! Have you tested today? 😁
