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.

Woohoo @Sallyjo27! I'm still on the circle at the moment so just dtd every other day haha. It's only cycle day 9 for me though and I've been ovulating late in the month at the moment so could be in for a wait! Hubby won't know what's hit him when the face starts flashing 😂😂

@CeeJay1987 not one!! 8dpo. I'd take some cramps, achey boobs, a bit of nausea, ANYTHING just give me a symptom 😂

@Sallyjo27 I ovulated late this month, day 22! It's not usual for me though, hopefully it goes back to where it was before. If not ive heard evening primrose oil can help, might have to give that a go next month.
With your MCs did you have the same early symptoms? I don't know where to be looking out for the same as I had for my MC. I think it would help me chill out a bit as I'd know exactly what would happen. Lead balloon boobs 😂

I’m on DPO7 and I was so tired yesterday. That’s really the only thing that’s different with me. I did have some cramps around dpo 3 and felt dizzy. I’m going through waves of being really hungry and not wanting to eat. I’m also really bored of waiting 🤣

CeeJay1987 · 17/02/2021 08:43

Anyone feel any symptoms today?

CycloGoose · 16/02/2021 22:38

Woohoo @Sallyjo27 🔥🔥🔥
I've been fairly consistently at the 2 week mark but who knows after this month!?
Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I don't know anything about the progesterone pessaries! 6 months in so no medical help just told to relax and have more 'fun'

Sallyjo27 · 16/02/2021 21:43

Hi ladies, finally got a flashing smiley on the clearblue ovulation test 🎉 all stations are go 😂
@CycloGoose I’ve thought about buying it but definitely don’t need it 😂🙈 if anything I think it would make things worse haha.

Hi to everyone that has joined! I hope we get some bfp this month!

Anyone else ovulate quite late in their cycles? I ovulate on day 21 and then af comes on day 31 I’ve got progesterone pessaries here from my last miscarriage and I’ve read some women are prescribed them to lengthen their luteal phase so I’m wondering if I should just them from 2dpo until AF

Hoping all of us concieve this month xx

CycloGoose · 16/02/2021 17:07

I bought some of that lube... Seriously think I've bought everything now! But I find that, when I'm fertile, I don't really need it. Sorry if tmi!
I need the Zen tips too. I've been glossing today and now sorting out one of the many piles of that have accumulated in the house. Still can't stop thinking about why my cycle suddenly ditched a week. Why do we torture ourselves?
Statistically, one of you should conceive this month, right!?
Looking forward to not being on AF right now and thinking happy thoughts!

Iloveoreos · 16/02/2021 16:02

@CeeJay1987 now i wish i had used it this cycle too 🤣

CeeJay1987 · 16/02/2021 15:39

@Iloveoreos we used conceiveplus tube this cycle! Fingers crossed for us all! 🤞🏼

Iloveoreos · 16/02/2021 14:55

@bwaiting used it in october when i did get preg but ended in a chemical. Havent used it since. Thinking to use it again. No harm in trying right

BWaiting · 16/02/2021 14:38

@Iloveoreos We used conceive plus lube this cycle. Hoping it's helped things get where they need to!! We used to tube not the applicators.
Are you using any? x

Iloveoreos · 16/02/2021 12:44

@CeeJay1987 ah ok.got it. Im going to wait and see if AF arrives and then buy

Is anyone using concieveplus or preseed lube?

CeeJay1987 · 16/02/2021 12:42

@Iloveoreos it’s Clear Blue OPK, the purple colour digital ones. I use them and find it a lot less stressful than if I were to temp. They are suppose to pick up the 4 most fertile days in your cycle xx

Iloveoreos · 16/02/2021 12:15

Whats purple cb?

Slinks8113 · 16/02/2021 11:49

@CycloGoose

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well and not driving themselves insane like I always seem to do. *@lucea87* it's probably just your body playing tricks on you because you are thinking about it - like a watched kettle etc. *@Slinks8113* I don't think I'm going to be far behind you with my unexpected short cycle. I'm on cd4 now. I'm going to start the purple CB on CD7 this time. Last time I went straight from blank to peak by the way. *@Iloveoreos* I think it's quite common to not have symptoms. Just as common as having symptoms for no reason. That's why we all get so confused and tied up.

Our ensuite shower has started leaking so there's our next DIY job 😵

@CycloGoose eek I hope I don't have that haha. I was really restless last night thinking about it and wondering if it would show fertile days straight away and I'd missed the opportunity to DTD! Even though I usually ovulate much later in the month...Anyone got any calming tips?! I need some zen 😂
Iloveoreos · 16/02/2021 10:57

@CeeJay1987 think ill hold out till sunday now since as u said the negative tests just make me feel down

CeeJay1987 · 16/02/2021 10:50

@Iloveoreos I’m not a morning person so I can relate to sleeping through an alarm 😂

I haven’t tested no, I’m of the mindset that if AF is going to come it will so I just hold out until then because I spend too much money on tests haha and also it makes me feel a little down when it’s a negative. So I just wait and see. My tummy does feel like it would before AF but I’m remaining hopeful to see what Sunday brings 😊 when will you test again?

Iloveoreos · 16/02/2021 10:39

@CeeJay1987 morning..slept thru alarm today 😆
Had some stomach twinges yesterday but thats about it. No sore boobs or anything. My AF due Sunday too. So we are on same days Tested this morning again - bfn 😔 .
Have u tested

CeeJay1987 · 16/02/2021 09:53

@Iloveoreos morning! I’ve only had the odd slight twinge or very very mild cramps that don’t last too long. Other than that I feel quite normal. AF is due on Sunday, so I guess I’ll have to wait and see! How about you? Have you tested again? xx

CycloGoose · 16/02/2021 09:51

@CeeJay1987 have u got any symptoms

Daniellejo · 16/02/2021 09:30

Thanks, I just called and they said it’s not advised so I have no idea when I’ll have it done because you shouldn’t have it done when you are on your period and it looks like I ovulate about 3 days after. I’m going to have to try and get an appointment for literally as soon as my period ends which I don’t think is going to be easy with the nurse only being in on certain days! Joy!

Slinks8113 · 16/02/2021 08:50

So started CB ovulation tests today - CD8 and low chance so far. Not tried these before but hoping they take are a little less stressful than bbt

Roseleafshine · 16/02/2021 08:46

Hello all lovely ladies! I hope you don't mind if I join in.
I have dpo 9 today and and about a week to go until AF or test. Not sure about anything ( including cycle length, because I stopped taking pills in the begining on Jan. I'm hoping for baby no 2.
@BWaiting, I am probably in the same cycle as you🙂
