Thanks @Annny27 AF arrived today so cycle length more back to normal this month

Welcome @CycloGoose and @OoFaithoO I'm a long timer been TTC for a couple of years now wishing you both better luck than me!

Hey @Annny27 and everyone, thanks for the new thread.

I found out this week that my ovulation is weak/not happening/progesterone really low. Hard to say exactly what’s happening but results were bad from my latest tests. I’ve booked my first acupuncture session this Thursday and am hoping it might put me on the road to more balanced hormones, I’m looking forward to it, feels like something different to everything else going on right now.

@CycloGoose I know it's hard but don't feel that way. I was TTC for 2.5 years, I'm 40 years old and just had a BFP from our first round of IVF where my body responded poorly to treatment and only had 6 follicles left and only 1 little egg was retrieved. This is a hard journey and it's ok sometimes to take some time out, allow the anger, jealousy, upset out so you're not internalising it but then it's so important to get back on the right path, have faith in your body and send yourself all the positive love you can.

Hi everyone! I’m 31 and finally TTC #1 - been waiting for this for about half my life! Went through puberty pretty early (11) and remember being in my mid-late teens and so ‘biologically’ desperate to be pregnant in my mid-late teens.... now finally the time is here! Valentine’s Day seemed like a good day to start 🙂

Have some clear blue ovulation tests and am going to take the first one tomorrow. Looking forward to getting to know you all and wishing you oodles of baby dust. ✨

Hi ladies, please may I join?

I'm 34, TTC #1. We're 6 months in but on CD2 of cycle 6 as it took a while for first AF following coming off the pill.

Got really excited this month as we'd had much better coverage, I've finally got back to healthy BMI, we got the peak smiley on the CB tests and I got some spotting 9dpo but it turned into AF just to spite me.

Looking forward to next fertile week now but frustrated. It's so hard seeing another cycle slip away - can't help think I'm going to get too old before it's our time!

Here we go again!

@Annny27 Yeah I'm 29! Im never confident anything good will happen for me, my OH gets so annoyed but he thinks it's going to happen soon🤷🏻‍♀️ thinking of trying CB opks, I just use one step strips

@Annny27 Can I join! Been TTV since December and even my OH is getting annoyed when AF shows up! My last two AF have been so strange and I get slight cramp and twinges for 5dpo which lacked me get a little excited! Fingers crossed it happens for soon for everyone

Kiza · 14/02/2021 08:43
