TTC February/March

Hey Everyone,

I never thought I'd be so OCD so early in this process. Such a weird feeling and so tough when you don't want to talk to your family about it and have them asking a bunch of questions.

I had my IUD removed in December and we sort of winged it for Dec & Jan. Feb I used an ovulation kit and it was literally a daily attempt for 4 days before and 2 days after just to make sure we give ourselves the best chance. I have a 28 day cycle and ovulated exactly on the day my app said I would (confirmed with test strip) and I'm currently 12DPO, AF due tomorrow. I could say every symptom points towards BFP but also, I just really want it to be so what's new. Also been testing every day since 9DPO because I actually can't help myself.

Any cramp I feel, I feel it could be AF. Still have hope though, just needed to get my nutso thoughts out of my head.

You say that and then you'll probably get your static today!!

I've just been looking at the Ivy tests as well that fermometer do. Wondering if I might try those next cycle if bfn again this month.

I'm really hoping @kaylsd is okay

@penguin143 it could easily be the stress of worrying about it making your cycle go dodge, especially if you've been unwell. Though you should be 15 dpo if your tracking was right so a good time to test now! I would do a FRER first response if you can get hold of one as they are much more sensitive than CB. Dodgy cycles do happen (I had a random short one last month) but lots of love and baby dust.

Think I'm going to join the tarot brigade 🤣

@Penguin143 sounds like it could be good news! 10dpo may have been too early. Good luck for the digital test, let us know :) x

CD32 and still no AF but I have the symptoms just not as bad as normal and have been having them for 4-5 days now. Did take two tests but only at 10-11DPO (I ovulated on day 17) and they were both very clear BFN.
I never have cycles this long and haven’t felt well all week and can’t stop eating or going for a wee. Surely I can’t be making this all up in my head!!! I am gonna do a CB digital today and see what it says.

[quote CycloGoose]@Slinks8113 yes my poor husband is definitely feeling the pressure too! He rose to the occasion 😂🤣😉 bless him but it took some perseverance to get the desired outcome. Oh dear it shouldn't be funny but it kind of is.

I think every other day is much more realistic. And, even with SMEP it's EOD until solid smiley so don't beat yourself up about it too much.

I think I must ovulate almost instantly after positive OPK given my luteal phase but I'm not temping any more so can't be sure.

@Sallyjo27 I can't even bear to think about it and what you must have been through. All the effort just to get a BFP seems hard enough. Have you been offered any testing?[/quote]
Do you know what I've clearly misinterpreted the SMEP 😂🙈 I'll lay off him for a bit then 😂😂

[quote Sallyjo27]@Slinks8113 get yourself down to m&s and buy some Percy pig sweets 😂😂😂 that counts right? X[/quote]
Absolutely!! 😂 will also check out that podcast!
@CycloGoose emojis may be the next closest thing!

Well I'm still on a flashy smiley face CD14 and tried to DTD this morning but think he was feeling the pressure so might need to knock SMEP on the head 🙈😂 day 2 and we've realised it's quite tough! And I'm nearly late for work 😂

Here you go ladies! @lucea87 @slinks8113 @Genevive123

🐷🐰🌴🐷🐰🌴🐷🐰🌴

It's been busy on here tonight! Hello new ladies ✨✨✨ Sorry to hear of your loss @natmoz

@kaylsd keep us updated

Back to school blues xxx night all

@Slinks8113

I'm totally the same haha I'm not sure how much I believe it!!

But I think I'm looking for it to happen which doesn't help?

I am due on my period on the 3rd of March, bd on the 12th so going to test on the 27th! Haha also if it is the case this month, baby would be due 12th November!! All super strange hahaha! She's got some very good reviews though? I'll let you know if it happens for me this month or even next month! It does make you excited though doesn't it haha xx

@Genevive123 oh how interesting!! I'm not sure how much I believe in it but I saw someone on another thread talk about it and thought what the heck :) it's kinda destressed me a little for now so can't complain 😂
Not sure where I'm gonna see a pig though 😂🙈

@NatMoz sorry to hear about your loss, I also miscarried in December :( baby dust to you x

@Slinks8113 Ooooh !

Mine was this (attached pic)

I've had some weird experiences already haha was walking my dog the other day, he never barks on a walk and started barking frantically, it was only a palm tree plant blowing in the wind !!

@Genevive123 this is first time so will wait and see. She said April for me and pigs would be the sign 🤷🏼‍♀️ oh and a girl! X

Hello! Think I fit in here.

Started trying in June 2020. Fell pregnant early Jan 2021 but have just had a miscarriage. Bleeding has finished now so we've decided to crack on with trying again.

No idea when my ovulation day is, just going for it.

I'm 31.

@Slinks8113 oh my gosh I had a reading from Jade Roberts Tarot also!! Is she accurate have you had any experiences with her ?? X

Thanks @Slinks8113 for the recommendation. Let's see what happens!!!

@Sallyjo27 m.facebook.com/jaderobertstarot/ hopefully that works. Xx

@lucea87
I am currently on CD 16
I know i was just far too impatient 😅
I felt quite nauseous yesterday too
It could just be ovulation symptoms but I don't ever really spot mid cycle xx

@lelrx do you know what CD you are on? If AF is due 4th March it would be too early for any test to detect, even if you ovulated early. Have you got a photo?xx

@Sallyjo27 I got it from Jade Woods on FB who @Slinks8113 had hers from too!

I knew she would say boy as we have a girls name picked out which we have had for ages. Lucea (Lucy), as it's a city in Jamaica and my boyfriend is part Jamaican. We have no boys names and joke all the time that we need to have some boy names! Eyes open for rabbits....
