TTC chat thread 4

@MamaSJ15
AF hasn’t arrived just yet. Although I’ve had cramps tonight as if it’s just around the corner

@alwaysseeingstars hope you're keeping well. Covid is AWFUL. You have my full sympathy😞 I'm not sure yet about me.. spoke to cardiologist yesterday and he's recommended an operation. I was always on the list but I had a Tia which scared the bejesus outta me on Saturday so he's put me on the cancellation list. Not very ttc related but I've kinda come to terms with the fact it may not happen🤷‍♀️ lots of crying involved😭 and there may be more but I will know more soon xx bloody bp and cholesterol issues but I've been eating like a hamster 🙄

@Hjudge56 I start tracking day 7 I ovulate early BUT this is the one month we have been careful so I've actually forgotten what CD I'm on. Madness!! And bliss!!

@Ncl31 so you're cycles are quite long then? Has AF arrived or are you still in the game?

@alwaysseeingstars hi, all good this end! No not changing anything, gonna track to make sure I'm aware of ovulation. We were moving house last cycle and only DTD once so this cycle may be more successful in that area haha. Oh covid is a nasty thing, I hope you're feeling better soon!

@Hjudge56 I ovulate quite late so not in any rush 😂 oh that doesn't sound nice, hope the worst is over now! Do you know when abouts you usually ovulate? I'm quite late at about CD18 so I usually start slow at CD8-10ish then test more frequently as it gets stronger. But I've only been testing for a couple of cycles so I'm no pro!

@MamaSJ15 Soon time to dance for you im
guessing! I’m CD6 and had a period from hell, which is why I’ve been quiet! Not been on my phone a huge amount just been getting through the days of bad pain. My AF is so up and down with flow and pain levels- so odd!

But on a brighter note, I’m looking forward to tracking again with OPK. When do you guys recommend starting the first test?

@MamaSJ15 hope all is well with you? Are you changing anything re TTC this month or staying as you are? I'm struggling with getting over Covid still - just exhausted and out of breath all the time! Nasty thing.
@MrsCristianoX I really hope the time passes quickly for you!

@MamaSJ15 12-15 days into my cycle

@Ncl31 whereabouts in the cycle do you usually ovulate?

It would appear so.
we have been TTC for 13 months but this was the first cycle that I’ve properly tracked. Whilst I’ve used Clearblue ovulation trackers for around 7 months I’ve never actually looked at how long each phase it etc etc until this month. Looking back it varies by a few days each month

@Ncl31 you have a long luteal phase then?

I'm still here ladies keeping quiet while I sulk on my 6 week hiatus

I’m 15dpo. AF is due in the next 3 days.
BFN so far this month so I think I’m out. Waiting for AF to arrive so I can track ovulation and start again.

It's all gone a bit quiet on here! I'm currently CD8, very low OPK reading today but not really expecting much for at least a week. Hows everyone else doing?

@Hjudge56 yeah good idea to track, that's what I did to find I ovulated about 4 days later than I thought 🫣 not helpful for TTC haha.
Haha best behaviour?! Just very loud and they bicker like siblings haha 😂 was nice though. Thank you, I'm feeling a lot better than I was but still not fully back to normal. Will get there soon haha.

@MamaSJ15 yeah I’m okay tbh! Just confused about ovulation because I feel like my LP was much longer than usual! But going to track this month and see!

oh bless you.. hopefully you will be back to feeling better asap!! Hopefully they will be on their best behaviour for you!

@Hjudge56 ah I'm sorry, but at least you know, the limbo but is horrible isn't it! Yeah that's why I started using ovulation tests too.
I'm not too bad, bit better than yesterday but still not back to 100% yet. I've said I'd babysit my neice this afternoon so I'm trying to psych myself up for dealing with DD and her cousin being mental together 😂

@MamaSJ15 AF showed up early this morning! Very odd cycle for me! I’m going to use ovulation sticks this time as I’m so confused about this last cycle!

how are you feeling?

@Ncl31 fingers crossed this is your month 🤞
@Hjudge56 that sounds a bit like my cycle this time. Hoping for a late bfp for you 🤞 otherwise roll on AF so you can try again! I've been feeling rough all week. Horrid cold and it moved to my sinuses so my whole face hurt ,😠 hoping for a better day today!

@MamaSJ15 had a bit of a weird situation this month! Currently CD30 (usually 26-28 day cycle). I have tested on cheapies and BFN every time but no AF as of yet! I keep getting AF cramps though so I’m not sure what’s happened- maybe just an off cycle! I’m guessing it will be any day now xx

how are you feeling?

@MamaSJ15 AF is due 21st according to Clearblue app.
probably about right, I ovulated early this month.
just keeping fingers crossed and seeing how we go.
itll be just my luck! Somehow I’m not sure they’d allow a marriage via video call from labour ward!

@Hjudge56 how are we doing? Did AF arrive or are you still in the game?
@Ncl31 wow that does sound like it could be implantation. When is AF due for you? That would be quite funny having your due date and wedding fall on the same day 😂

@Ncl31 hopefully it is good news- keep us updated!

@Hjudge56 I’m seriously hoping so. But trying not to get my hopes built up too much

@Ncl31 hey! It sounds like that could have been implantation but it may take a few days of hcg to build up so try not to be disheartened by BFN today. I would test again in a couple days!!

HI ladies, Just thought I'd pop on here for a bit of a talking to.... I only just came on here 2 days ago.
We're currently on cycle 13... TTC #1
I use clear blue ovulation tacking... I hit my peak on 1/10. We were on holiday so lots of relaxation and time to DTD.
2 days ago I had milk cramping and slight spotting of pink and then brown, it lasted only 2 trips to the toilet.... Last night I had a decent amount of clear/brown gummy mucous discharge which is unusual for me.
I had BFN today. Although, I think I'm a little nauseous but I don't know if I'm imagining it and symptom spotting....
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
I'm desperately trying not to get my hopes built up but its so difficult when it is something you want, as you guys will be very much familiar with.
The complication to being positive this cycle would be our due date would be the same date as our wedding!! This doesn't bother us as we will just rearrange our wedding but how comical would that be!

@MamaSJ15 it hasn’t arrived just yet but I suspect today is the day. Woken up with cramps and just generally feel really tired and meh.. which is classic AF-around-the-corner symptoms for me!

I’ve decided I’m going to properly track ovulation this cycle so I’m going to order some tests for that today
