@KazMumTo2 it’s so all consuming isn’t it! I really struggle with exercise but yoga really warms your body and is relaxing and gentle. I’m due on Tuesday I think! A bit confused with when I ovulated.

Opk was negative. And I'm starting to feel like AF is on her nasty way. So pretty sure I'm out!

KazMumTo2 · 11/02/2021 21:36

@WillowRose1411 I came off the pill back in July 2020...didn’t have a period until October so I guess 4 months TTC! My body seems to have changed so much since my 2nd baby! Before now my periods would be a regular 28 day cycle but now I’ve learnt that my ovulation doesn’t occur until day 20/21 and my cycles have increased to between 30-35 days! Hoping now that I know more about what’s going on I won’t miss the boat so to speak! I’m going to eat healthier this cycle (doing a good shop on Saturday) make sure I keep taking the vitamins and I might start to try an exercise class or perhaps (now you suggest it) yoga! It’s all so difficult to not think of anything else at the moment 1) because I want it so much and 2) because of the lack of anything else to do during covid!!! Hopefully you get your positive this month; when are u due? X

Tomorrow is my period due day! Feel quite nervous.... really hoping it doesn't come up it's so hard as don't want to be too disappointed if it doesn't.

Hard to tell if I feel it's coming or not lol

@KazMumTo2 how many months have you been ttc? It’s just one of those things lovely absolutely doesn’t mean you did anything wrong! It’s so hard though when you’ve done everything you can.

This month I’ve been trying really hard to eat better and cut down on caffeine. Lots of leafy veg and I’ve read seeds (pumpkin, sunflower and chia in my case) can be really beneficial for fertility and hormone production, pomegranate juice is meant to help with implantation but not sure how much evidence there is to support this.
I’ve also read that keeping your feet and body nice and warm, in turn warms your uterus and supports healthy blood flow to the area. Gentle stretching/ yoga and taking time to relax, take long deep breaths can help too. If you are stressed it’s not the optimal environment to grow a baby so look after number 1.
I’ve also been taking pregnacare max.
That’s everything I’m doing currently but I’m still yet to get a BFP!
It will happen when the time is right it’s just so hard when you want it so bad. I find the arrival of af the saddest thing I really struggle on that first day. Everything crossed for you next cycle! It will happen ❤️

@girlmummy25 fingers crossed you’re in a different situation to me come tomorrow x

KazMumTo2 · 11/02/2021 19:31

Yeh looking back we dtd quite a lot in the lead up to ovulation and maybe day of/after ovulation so I don’t quite know what went wrong! I’ve started taking pregnacare in the last few days so hopefully by next ovulation they will be really in my system but I don’t know what else to do 😔 any suggestions welcomed x

Aww I’m sorry @KazMumTo2 that af arrived 😔 that is commitment! I’m not sure we’d manage that so go you!

Fingers crossed af doesn’t arrive tomorrow for you @girlmummy25 🤞🏼

girlmummy25 · 11/02/2021 19:14

@KazMumTo2 ahhh so sorry! Thats so rubbish. Thats commitment - really hope it works for you next month!
Yeah I think im going to do a lot more DTD next month too even though we DTD both of the 2 days before ov, the day of ov & the day after! With a couple before that too.
I hate it when it become a chore though.

My AF due tomorrow

KazMumTo2 · 11/02/2021 16:55

So my AF has just arrived :( knew the ‘symptoms’ were too good to be true! I’m going to make a pact with my husband that from next week we will dtd every other night until my next period is due! I’ll keep taking the OPKs just to check that ovulation is occurring and then try to go with the flow! It’s so difficult when it’s something U want so much...but I have a good feeling that next month is the one! Good luck to all of you guys still in the game for this month 🤞🏻

@cakelaur ahh let us know!

Since I’ve started tracking my cm I’ve noticed that it often has a bit of stretch to it even at non fertile times. I read this can be normal and it’s just a case of working out what your body does! Hopefully it could be a pregnancy sign??

OP posts:
Cakelaur · 11/02/2021 14:22

Omg. I just got a whole pile of ewcm. I wonder if I didn't ovulate 10days ago. Gonna do an opk when I get in from work.

WillowRose1411 · 11/02/2021 13:59

Oh I’m so sorry @mellous still have things crossed for you though.

That looks like a bfp @dippyegg32!! At 7dpo too wow that’s amazing!

Ha @Cakelaur I’m the same so tight with FRER 😂 ive ordered one on Amazon this morning and hopefully hold out until Sunday to use it. Really hope we can have some more bfps in this group this cycle 🤞🏼🤞🏼

1sttime21 · 11/02/2021 13:37

@Cakelaur
Cervix is like non existant🤣🙈 cm is like water I just feel totally exhausted. Normally by this point in the cycle I have cramps but not had any so far x

Cakelaur · 11/02/2021 13:27

@1sttime21 how bizarre. Maybe the bfp is still on the way. What's cervix and cm doing? Do you "feel" pregnant?

@dippyegg32 that's a great line for 7dpo!!! You're so brave to use an frer!!! 😂 I'm way too tight for that! 🙈

I'm so bloody scared to test!!

@Delight12 how exciting for testing tomorrow! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@WillowRose1411 af is due Saturday. So still a little way off. 10dpo tomorrow! Tempted to test. But not sure I can deal with a bfn. Af arriving is sometimes kinder!

Delight12 · 11/02/2021 12:29

@ContadoraExplorer it is hard, I really want to wait until AF is late but the way my mind is racing I think I will definitely do 1 in the morning.

Mellous · 11/02/2021 12:20

These are this mornings test. I’m guessing it’s residual hcg from my miscarriage though :( EPU said said again in a week xx

Anyone else in 2ww??

ContadoraExplorer · 11/02/2021 12:17

That's brilliant @dippyegg32 - I can totally see that line - congratulations!

@delight12 it's so hard not to test eh? If I was having all those symptoms, even relatively early on, I think I would do one though.

Mellous · 11/02/2021 12:17

congrats @dippyegg32

Delight12 · 11/02/2021 12:10

Can definitely see that line, I think I may test in the morning.

dippyegg32 · 11/02/2021 11:57

Well @Delight12 I'm only 7dpo and just got this

Anyone else in 2ww??
