Making a new thread from the March group ♥️

I'm on CD 1, Cycle 11 of TTC our first 👶🏼
Had a MC in February
Ectopic last July with right tube removal
I have endometriosis (and I suspect low progesterone)

Trying to stay positive and think fresh cycle, my body probably needed this after the MC and its a fresh start ✨

I got two positive OPK's on both mornings of the 23rd and 24th February, so taking the 25th as my ovulation day @RSmamaa 😊

RSmamaa · 14/03/2022 20:53

@allthingssparkly how did you track ovu?

allthingssparkly · 14/03/2022 20:47

I will order some 😊 I ovulated on the 25th February which would be 3 weeks ago this Friday and my last period before this one was 3rd-7th February.

I do feel more tired than usual whether that's a sign I don't know but I've been in bed since 6pm feel like I could sleep for a week 🙈

RSmamaa · 14/03/2022 20:42

@allthingssparkly I think you should take a cheap test it sounds like implantation bleeding. Could be your period but if you are TTC it's worth a shot right?!

allthingssparkly · 14/03/2022 20:25

They are usually 5 days @RSmamaa so this one was a little shorter than usual, yesterday it was just brown when wiping almost like old blood? Nothing noticed on a pad either.

RSmamaa · 14/03/2022 20:09

@allthingssparkly are your periods usually that short? If it was lighter and shorter I would be tempted to think that was an implantation bleed. Altthough if not, it's exciting trying again! Baby dust Star

Hello all 😊

Thought my last cycle may have been the lucky one but it appears not I had a bleed from the 10th - 13th March, finished sooner than I expected though.

CD5 today, going to just see how things go this cycle and not obsess over it too much.

Baby dust ladies ⭐

Thank you ladies for your words! It is so very weird my whole body seems to have been out of sorts. I’ve had cramping over the last few days and was hoping it was signs of a period or something but still nothing yet. It’s been 3 months since stopping the depo. - only just started having unprotected sex with the decision of TTC only last week.

Feel like I don’t know where to start! Might have to just like you said Ov test everyday!
My Son who is 2 in June unfortunately conceived earlier than expected so didn’t really track anything!!

RSmamaa · 14/03/2022 09:58

@sherbetmelon yes same here. Always about 30-32 days! Are B6 vits proven to help?

BeeYellowMumma · 14/03/2022 09:17

@Chloo22

Hi, I’m sorry to jump on a thread that’s deep in! I’m looking for some advice! TTC #2 After DS I went onto the DEPO injection so was on it for 10-12 months, came off it in December. Have NOT had a period yet. (Been on depo years before previously, periods previously have always come back within days/weeks later once stopping the DEPO).

With no periods obviously I cannot track my cycle. Not sure if I’m ovulating either. Previous years I’ve always ‘felt’ ovulation.

Anyway my question is, is there anything I can do to try and track my cycles? Other than ovulation tests??

Thank you and again sorry for jumping in, just feeling a bit deflated with the period situation!

I had this following depo about a year or 2 back. Ended up having bloods and scans etc as was 6 months til I got a period and they were really heavy and long. They then said I had PCOS (had cysts on ovaries, but bloods normal) which I've never had any symptom history of (and conceived my first on first cycle she's nearly 4). Was also convinced I wasn't ovulating, as like you before I could always tell.

Now started TTC #2 and had a very weird cycle and still feel a bit weird since, not sure if hormones/PTSD are playing tricks on me or if it's coz I'm older, or all the strange things the depo done to my cycle, or all of the above. Who knows. Hmm

sherbetmelon · 14/03/2022 07:06

@Chloo22 I was in a similar position! Had my last depo in June 2021, was due Sept but didn't get it and my period didn't return until January! Had a completely normal one January then a terrible, late and long one February. The depo has completely messed with my cycles 🥲 I was like you in Jan wanting to track, had to just use OPK every day x

@RSmamaa I'm so glad to have someone in the same boat! My AF arrived on CD37 last month when my cycles are usually 31ish days despite ovulating late. It's a minefield! I've ordered some B6 vitamins to see if that helps 🤷🏻‍♀️

RSmamaa · 13/03/2022 21:58

@sherbetmelon my cycles seem to be all over the place since DS. Last two cycles I ovulated around day 25 too so at least we cycle buddies 😆. Only 20 days to go...

sherbetmelon · 13/03/2022 21:02

@RSmamaa CD8 for me but also a couple of weeks away from ovulation still (usually around CD25). Do you always ov late? X

RSmamaa · 13/03/2022 18:58

CD5 today which means AF has left the building 👏🏼

Still about 3 weeks away from ovulation 😹😿

sherbetmelon · 13/03/2022 16:23

@Galaxyrippleforever @TeddyBeans I also have a 3yo, she will be 4 in august so coming on 4.5 for when we'll hopefully have DC2! It's such a fun age isn't it. I think the nest is going to feel so empty when she starts school though :'(

Galaxyrippleforever · 13/03/2022 15:55

Hi all, hoping it's okay to join. I am 1dpo on first cycle of TTC baby 2 (I have an almost four year old). We dtd 5 times this week and I'm naively getting my hopes up for successful cycle 1... Only 13 days to testing!

RSmamaa · 13/03/2022 06:44

@TeddyBeans If I fall I will be due 22nd 😆 the thought scares me.

TeddyBeans · 12/03/2022 23:17

19th April that is!

TeddyBeans · 12/03/2022 23:16

Oioi AF showed up today, I didn't even get to POAS this month! Into cycle 3 for baby #2. DS is 4 on the 19th. If I fall this cycle I'm looking at a 17th December due date 🤣

Let's spread that baby dust and a little bit of Christmas cheer hey ladies!? ✨🎅

Hi everyone,
Silent follower here... Finding support with your wonderful group. 2 friends pregnancy announcements this week and feeling 😓 xx

RSmamaa · 12/03/2022 16:37

@MangoLipstick i have done it before but it is very hard. I have a 1yr old who still wakes in the night sometimes so getting the solid 3 hours is difficult. I also randomly wake on my own. It seemed to be pretty accurate last time and I think using OPKs and tracking CM will help determine ovulation. Yes my longest since birth was 44 days!! Shortest 29

MangoLipstick · 12/03/2022 09:16

Hi @RSmamaa
How are you finding tracking BBT? I’ve never done it because I’m worried it wouldn’t be accurate. I wake up quite a few times early morning ( I read you need at least 3 hours of sleep in a row?)

My periods after having dc ranged from 40 days to 23(!)

RSmamaa · 12/03/2022 07:02

Hi guys. Sorry I got a bit lost in the thread in the beginning. Really hoping this is the month for us. DS turns one this month and I am going back to work after maternity leave so not sure what chances we will get really. Have started tracking BBT today on CD4 (AF leaves today or tomorrow) but I have really long cycles and don't ovulated until around day 25 😩 I'm sure they weren't this long before being pregnant so hoping my hormones are just a bit up and down. TTC cycle 1 was 37 days long and cycle 2 was 36 😭😭😭😭😭😭 hop you are all ok!
