@Bd1787 I use FertilityFriend! I was put off by how "oldschool" it looks, they really need to hire a designer for it, but it seems to be the most accurate one for tracking (I also use Premom to read tests for me, but I find the tracking and predictions less accurate).

@HollyB7 Yes! I feel like I have been waiting two weeks already but it's only been one... at least my house gets a good cleaning as I try to distract myself.

The TWW is just horrible isn't it. I feel like I spend my time just wishing time would go faster!

Totally agree ladies this whole TTC thing is much more stressful than I ever thought. I never thought I'd get so upset each month when AF arrives.
I've managed to resist the urge to test every month so far... Just hold out to see if AF arrives.

Absolutely... Only takes once! 🤞

Hi,

Can I join too? Im about 5DPO. Don't think we were able to BD as much as we should have this cycle but oh well, only takes one as they say!!

How are you all feeling?

FlyOnTheWall89 · 17/11/2021 14:45

@Arly90 this is cycle 7 for me too. It feels like cycle 107. My cycles are 30-32 days long so my AF is due next Wednesday at the latest. X

@CrumchyLeafs I only have 1 frer left (I have 2 of the rapid response ones which I ordered by mistake but they aren't the sensitive ones- so annoying). I also have a load of cheapies that I'll try and use first.

Welcome @Arly90, hopefully this month will be your month. It's month 4 for me and I'm surprised by how frustrating and disheartening I've found the whole process.

Are any of you using the FF app? I am finding it really good for tracking/confirming ovulation.

Arly90 · 17/11/2021 10:49

Hello.
Hoping I can join the chat here too. I'm about 5 DPO. I also don't feel we DTD enough and think one attempt may have been too late 😢 but really hoping we got lucky. This is our 7 month TTC #1.

Fingers crossed for us all 🥰

CrumchyLeafs · 17/11/2021 09:45

@boymummy89 yeah, same I have a box of 50 amazon cheapies that I plan to use first!

boymummy89 · 17/11/2021 09:33

[quote CrumchyLeafs]@Bd1787 yes, trying for the first! Haven't had any symptoms since, except fatigue and some dizziness.

Are you guys going to use a FRER for the first test? I know they are more sensitive than cheapies, but I only have 3 and it feels such a shame to waste them on testing early...[/quote]
I'd save the frer until a bit closer, I used one on my first cycle and got a terrible indent line which is disappointing, so I'd leave a but longer to make sure. I but the amazon cheapies I don't mind wasting them 😂

@boymummy89 the last two months I have been temping and using ovulation strips so I'm fairly certain we have timed everything perfectly, but time will tell whether it's been enough!

I'm not feeling the urge to test yet, actually feeling pretty relaxed but that's probably because I know it's too early and the urge will hit me in a few days. Last month I got a faint positive on a frer which must have been an indent line so I got my hopes up and the next test was neg!

@CrumchyLeafs I've actually had some odd cramps/twinges today too but I'm conscious that it would be very early for implantation so trying not to read too much into it. Are you trying for your first?

FlyOnTheWall89 · 16/11/2021 19:53

I didn’t OPK this month but would usually get my static smiley 7 days ago (CD17) so roughly 7DPO - I don’t feel any different! We definitely had plenty of sex and hit the ‘fertile’ days so it’s just a big waiting game now.

CrumchyLeafs · 16/11/2021 19:01

6DPO here today! Had some cramps the last two days but they are gone, now I got backpain instead.. I want to wait until at least 9DPO to take a test, but it's gonna be hard! Especially because I feel like my cramps might have been early implantation so I feel I could get away with testing sooner!

boymummy89 · 16/11/2021 18:49

Hiya, I'm doing OK thanks! I thiught I was doing well and hadnt thought much about the 2ww then it hit me today and trying to resist the urge to POAS 😂 are you strict tracking etc or just going with the flow! Xx

Hi @boymummy89 I'm 5dpo today on cycle 4 ttc no.1. Hoping for good news this month after feeling very disheartened when it didn't happen previous months.

How are you feeling?
