Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

Hello❤️

Results from OH's SA are back. He's got to have an over the phone appointment with the doctor to discuss on friday. Is this normal procedure or something they only do if something is wrong? I'm a mess xxx

CycloGoose · 24/02/2021 19:18

@Slinks8113 fingers crossed! Though, as you said before, might be better to have the solid smiley nearer the weekend!

CycloGoose · 24/02/2021 19:16

@Sallyjo27 I read last time as last cycle when you were talking about your frer. Xxx

Sallyjo27 · 24/02/2021 19:03

@CycloGoose I didn’t have a chemical last month..... I’m taking progesterone from ovulation when ttc now as my consultant told me it’s more effective from ovulation and will help prepare the lining of my womb for implantation x

@CycloGoose nope....still that smug flashing smiley 😂 temp is still pretty steady as well so pretty sure I haven't missed it yet! The lines on the test this morning were pretty much the same so not sure if that's a sign it's imminent or not x

CycloGoose · 24/02/2021 18:45

I love your bunny @Daniellejo!

Ooooh that sounds exciting re symptoms. Keep us in the loop.

Really hope the cyclogest works @Sallyjo27 didn't realise you had had a chemical last month as well.

It's the endless unknowns that do me in each time. I'm desperate just for a positive opk now 🤣 then I'll be dreading the 2WW.

@Slinks8113 static yet? Don't think I'd be so mad if I hadn't had that weird cycle last month.

Daniellejo · 24/02/2021 17:51

I have been testing every day this week because I’m obsessed. I’m 12DPO and due on Sunday. I’ve been having loads of weird symptoms that I’ve never had previously and had an entire day of mild AF cramps but no AF. Normally I just have horrific cramps and straight on at the same time. I’m going to wait until Sunday before I go properly insane as that’s what my Clue App says is the day I’m due. I’ve been using it about 4 years and it’s almost always correct to the day.

Daniellejo · 24/02/2021 17:46

Here’s my bunny for you!

@Sallyjo27 rubbish isn't it !! Haha I was feeling positive and now not so much! I'm testing Saturday 10dpo! Xx

Iloveoreos · 24/02/2021 16:21

Hi ladies... good luck to all tww ladies xx

Sallyjo27 · 24/02/2021 15:52

@Genevive123 it definitely it! I’m only 3 or 4 days in and can’t cope 😂 I had a positive test at 9dpo last time with a FRER so will be testing Monday. I’m addicted to testing 🙈

@Sallyjo27

All good thanks lovely! Super tired just want this month to be over now - want to know if I'm pregnant or not haha we want to start the next cycle if so!!

TWW is a killer !!

Sallyjo27 · 24/02/2021 15:17

Hi ladies how are you all today? I’ve started using cyclogest now as I’m 3/4dpo and I want to make sure my progesterone is high enough just incase.

Sorry to those who have had AF show up. Take some time for yourself xx

Sorry to hear that @Penguin143 but another day closer to being fertile again. I know how you feel. I was so confused after my really short cycle. Our bodies can surely sense our stress! I've bought a no alcohol cider to try in the TWW haha.

@kaylsd so glad you have got this weekend off together as well after missing valentines. It's good timing for you to have some chill time together.

@Genevive123 ohhh fingers crossed for your one week wait now! Bizarre about the bloating but kind of exciting. I didn't get the tarot because it was a bit too pricey for a bit of fun. I'll try if she has another sale.

@lucea87 tell me about it! I'm on CD11 and repeated flashy smiley faces from day 7 which is annoying.

Also, I'm finding it tricky to find the balance between drinking enough so that I stay hydrated and have lovely, welcoming ewcm whilst also not drinking too much so that I can have non-diluted little pots of pee for the bloomin OPKs. It's an absolute minefield.

Genevive123 · 23/02/2021 19:19

@lucea87

I know crazy right - they'll com i'm sure !!

Ah bless you!

Im on cycle day 19 now - 8 more days until AF due, the TWW absolutely sucks!!!

Genevive123 · 23/02/2021 19:09

@CycloGoose haha Palm Trees!! Haven't seen any today but trying not to look for them!!

One of my symptoms is bloating - I'm usually bloated around a week before AF however this time I look like I have a constant protruding stomach haha. I thought i'd weigh myself to see if I'd just put on weight..but I haven't so not sure why I look so HUGE!

Did you decide to get a Tarot reading?

lucea87 · 23/02/2021 19:04

@Genevive123 how bizarre!!! Still no rabbits for me 😭

@Grace185 that's crazy!!! But a good sign 🤞🏼

I'm just wishing away the time now until fertility! CD5...it's gonna be a long month.....

kaylsd · 23/02/2021 18:11

@Penguin143

AF just came. So sad. Never had such a long cycle and so many symptoms it’s so bizarre. Nothing you can do though. Onwards and upwards
Sending hugs darling, try not to feel sad I know it's easier said than done, consider it as a new cycle, new start, and enjoy the best bit of being closer to your partner with the baby dancing and if a baby comes at the end of it then even bonus 😘🤞🏻❤️
kaylsd · 23/02/2021 18:09

@CycloGoose

Ahhhh *@kaylsd* so sorry. I think you've got the right idea. Stress is the worst thing for it. So long as you DTD more than once a week you have a realistic chance. Our problem was that we would only really get round to it on the weekends and that was never going to be enough so we definitely had to ramp things up.

Best thing about CD1 = guilt free booze!

@Slinks8113 any bets on solid face day? Fermometer app reckons tomorrow. I think Friday. Poor DH doesn't know what's coming if we have to go every day from tomorrow 😂 Then I think it'll be time for a little holiday from the regime.

You know it girl! I'm always so cautious in the TTW of what I should be eating and avoiding alcohol like the plague, me and hubs have the weekend off together this weekend so he's already got me some wine & kopperburg in chilling for the occasion! Feeling more relaxed this month as the months pass I'm feeling more and more what will be will be and the closer we get to 12 months of trying at least then we might have some answers of to why it hasn't already or receive support if any issues what might need addressing, mellow month March I'm feeling 👌🏻🌈🥰
kaylsd · 23/02/2021 18:07

[quote Slinks8113]@Penguin143 did you do the digital in the end yesterday or going to wait it out? Our bodies are right cowbags sometimes! Fingers crossed it's still potentially good news!
@kaylsd sorry to hear AF has arrived! A more relaxed approach is probably the way forward, I know what you mean about SMEP, I'm already stressing about it and haven't even had the positive OPK yet 🙈[/quote]
The smep made me feel like a crazy lady at the end because we was like glued to the OPK sticks and reviewing if we've done it enough before n getting tired come day 3 of the row! I think if I take a more relaxed approach doing it 2-3 times when the mood fits I'm sure it'll cover it if the swimmers can last up to 7 days anyway! It's a little bit of a blessing in a way because at least now I don't have to postpone my wedding anniversary Receiption with our families & friends :') fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Slinks8113 · 23/02/2021 14:06

@CycloGoose Femometer says Sunday for me but it has gradually been getting earlier each month as my cycles start to get into a bit more of a rhythm. Although if it is at the weekend, got a better chance of DTD then during the week! X

Still no AF but have weird cramping again today low down mainly on the right side. Will do another test on Friday morning if still no AF. Today is CD33 and normally I come on day 27-30.
