Just wondering if anyone wants to join me for a new cycle starting yesterday (or thereabouts)? AF reared her ugly head yesterday so it's new cycle time. This will be my 3rd cycle after a MMC in October last year. Let's support each other through this!

Hi sorry for jumping on your post I am on cycle day 19 and had positive ovulation test yesterday cycle day 18 I've been trying for 3 years and first month tracking ovulation due to irregular periods I have a 4 year old girl which took 2 years and want my children close together in age so hoping it doesn't take to much longer just need people to take to while I wait and see if this is the month or not as I haven't told family me and my partner are trying due to it taking so long

@Jordie24 I hate it when my body does that! I'm using Flo to track my cycle and didn't log AF until Wednesday as that's when it became full blown red/darker and heavier flow compared to the light pinkish brown spotting I'd had a couple of days before.

I hate that implantation bleeding and other symptoms can also just be signs of PMS or whatever. Why can't our bodies just be clear with us instead if getting our hopes up by messing us around!

@Aims1991 I know what you mean. I had spotting a few days ago and was praying it was implantation bleeding as I was about 9dpo but then AF came right on time. Curses!

@KeepSmiling89 I'm with with you, on CD2 thanks AF🙄
For the first time in 4 years AF was late and by 4 days this is a lot for me so I was hoping it was going to be a BFP but unfortunately not.
I had started taking folic acid this month and even tho it helps get pregnant I was convinced it slowed AF down, so I didnt take it yesterday and AF showed up🤣 it could be all in my head but I'm convinced

@SweetSunflowerBoo Welcome! So sorry to hear about your MMC too. I totally understand. It's almost all I can think about at the moment. Got work to keep me busy but the longing for a wee one is always there.
It took me a wee while to understand the lingo too but just ask if you're not sure about anything.

My cycle started 8/1/21
I had a miscarriage in November after finding out I was pregnant on my 21st bday

Just started TTC 2 days ago and I'm so so nervous because all I want is a baby. I'm also trying to learn about all the different times in the cycle and when to test and the "days past ovulation " thing

Good luck to everyone TTC.
Hoping for some positive tests!!!

Sorry to hear of yours too, it's a horrible time isn't it.

I was the same - was doing FRER from about 8dpo determined that it would be BFP first month! Gutted when period showed up bang on time but has made me super determined for this month. Fingers crossed for us! xx

@Amz6219 sorry to hear about your MMC. Of course you can join! Was feeling really down yesterday and today I'm just so determined and felt like starting a support group!

Anyone else wanting to join just hop on this thread!
