Sounds promising! We did manage some fun this morning, so see whether we have the energy for anything else tonight then be happy that the last few days of the TWW fall whilst we’re on holiday so I should be nicely distracted…

LuckyMoonstone · 16/05/2022 16:22

I’m having quite sharp cramps, I’m hoping it’s Ov…. I’m waiting at least another hour before I do another OPK though.

LuckyMoonstone · 16/05/2022 10:53

@curliegirlie thank you for being so nice x I’m gonna keep testing/temping and hope that it does still happen this cycle even if it’s just stupidly late

curliegirlie · 16/05/2022 10:29

@LuckyMoonstone it’s awful, I know. Particularly the pressure of wanting things to come together before certain dates (for me, I guess it’ll be my 40th in July, and then my due date from the MC in November). How long are your cycles? When I first came off the pill to TTC DD1 and before I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, my cycles were absolutely all over the place, ranging from 27 days, a couple of mid 40 day cycles, to the ridiculous 146 day cycle. It was horrific. Especially as for 10 of those cycles I don’t think I was ovulating. All you can do is carry on ov testing with fingers crossed that this month is just super late and that next cycle is more sensible. I feel your pain, I really do….

LuckyMoonstone · 16/05/2022 09:31

@curliegirlie with my cycles being so stupidly long I can’t afford to keep missing cycles. It will be over a month before I get to the point of ovulation in my next cycle. That’s a really long time to wait when you’re desperate to conceive. Especially as I’m going to pass my original due date without being pregnant. That’s what I was really trying to avoid. Every month that we’ve been trying since we lost our baby, there’s been something wrong. I’ve either ovulated but had a short LP, or I haven’t ovulated at all. I’m so fed up and depressed about it all.

curliegirlie · 16/05/2022 09:15

@LuckyMoonstone please try not to panic too much. Sometimes you do just get random stupid cycles like mine last month (and I remember a silly 35 day one with no ov when TTC DD2). It’s frustrating, but if it doesn’t happen you just need to write it off and look forward to the next cycle. My silly cycle Last time round was followed by a normal one, looks like I’m about to ovulate now after a silly cycle, and DD2 was actually conceived during a silly cycle when I didn’t ovulate until CD25!

I do get your frustration though. I’m still pissed off that my last one was a dud when we had so many DTD opportunities 🙄 It should have been damn perfect!

LuckyMoonstone · 16/05/2022 09:07

Well my temp has dropped, opks are getting even lighter. CD24 and it’s just not happening :( this is the latest I’ve ever been in my cycle and still not ovulated. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I feel like shit.

curliegirlie · 16/05/2022 08:51

Yay! Thank you agnus castus! Now to hope that when DH gets back from the school run I can persuade him to have a quickie before he starts work…irritatingly, although we messed around last night, it wasn’t actual intercourse, so I feel a lot is riding on the next couple of days….

Don’t even know if u can see from the pics but I can in person but pregnant again 3rd month in a row. I know I’m gonna miscarry again and I’m so fed up lol. Wish I’d stuck to my original plan of not testing until a week after my period lol.

I’m down to 0.15 now and that’s after a 4 hour hold and low fluid intake! Wtf

mummyofrb · 15/05/2022 20:18

@bunnykins123 thanks lovely it's so nice to have you guys to talk to it about I try and shield my family from it because I don't like to upset them! Onto the next cycle😊 I was told to wait until my 3rd cycle until ttc again because I had the operation with my mmc and this will be my 3rd so might have more luck this time round x

Indianna2006 · 15/05/2022 18:56

@bunnykins123 yes it was a relief! Makes me feels much better about it tbh.

im ready to start again. I feel well etc. but bit daunting as took 11 cycles. But I’m just focusing on that we DID get pregnant. And we will again. We just have to try and wait.

but I am ever so slightly hopeful it won’t take as long

bunnykins123 · 15/05/2022 18:52

@Indianna2006 I'm so pleased to hear that, it must be a huge relief to know that your body has reset. Mine took 3 months and I was going out of my mind by the end! How are you feeling about ttc again?

bunnykins123 · 15/05/2022 18:49

@curliegirlie I would defo test again tonight, that looks really promising! 🤞 keep us updated!

@mummyofrb ahh I'm so sorry, it is such a bummer when AF shows 😢 big hugs 💕

Indianna2006 · 15/05/2022 18:24

I always find with my OPKs that they are random and the numbers don’t rise steadily. I get like one sharp increase on one day an that’s it. But everyone is diff and some ppls can rise more steadily.

i have FINALLY got a negative pregnancy test. And my temps have dropped to pre ovulatory since my mmc. Bleeding has now stopped. So think I am well and truly back in ttc game.

so now it’s to wait for ovulation. My OPKs were positive but obv I still had pregnancy hormones. But there not positive now my pregnancy one is negative.

so I presume I just keep testing opk every day and temping and await to see when my body decides to do it. I’m hoping not too long 🤞🏼🤞🏼

mummyofrb · 15/05/2022 14:44

@theblueflowers @LuckyMoonstone @peachiekeen thankyou so much lovelies🤍 onto the next cycle xxx

theblueflowers · 15/05/2022 14:38

@curliegirlie not sure, but that test looks way darker than 0.56?! It definitely looks high!

@mummyofrb so sorry 😞 it's so much pressure isn't it x

LuckyMoonstone · 15/05/2022 14:37

@mummyofrb that sucks, I’m sorry :( hope you’re ok

peachiekeen · 15/05/2022 14:27

@mummyofrb oh I'm so sorry lovely! Look after yourself and do something to be kind to yourself today. Sending love x

mummyofrb · 15/05/2022 14:05

@peachiekeen AF well and truly started now😩 I think I put too much pressure on myself this month I'm going to step away next month and see if just winging it works more in my favour! I tend to get really upset just before af then when it comes feel more acceptance that this month just wasnt for me

LuckyMoonstone · 15/05/2022 13:43

Just done another test, down to 0.22 now 🙁

LuckyMoonstone · 15/05/2022 12:34

@theblueflowers thanks for showing me yours, was good to have a look. Another couple of hours and I can test again

curliegirlie · 15/05/2022 10:44

Hi all, I’m hopeful that the agnus castus has been doing the trick this cycle. CD14 and just did an OPK that was graded at 0.56 🥳 Hopefully they will continue to darken over the next day or so. But any idea why Premom reckons that’s high?! I thought it had to get into the 0.8 or 0.9 to get into that lofty category….

peachiekeen · 15/05/2022 10:41

@mummyofrb if af hasn't arrived yet then there's still a chance 🤞🏼

@theblueflowers I'm 8dpo today and can't feel or notice anything yet. Did you have any symptoms by this point last time? I didn't even know I was pregnant until 2 days after my missed period last time. Those were the fun days before I tracked every single thing with my body and was blissfully unaware of what was going on 🙈 so I don't have anything to compare it to.

theblueflowers · 15/05/2022 10:11

@LuckyMoonstone you can also see in my most recent cycle that it doesn't rise in a linear way- the numbers are sort of all over the place until I hit my peak. Are you having any other signs of ovulation?
