@3rdtimeisacharm Yeah same as me. I swore i wouldn't but i haven't got the energy to dtd every other day all month long so Im thinking its time to check!
My cycle before last was 37, last one was 31 and I am now on 33 so guessing I'm really irregular too. Didnt keep tabs on it before as no need to so I'll see what happens this month.
Fingers crossed for you! 🀞

3rdtimeisacharm · 27/09/2022 17:47

Hey @Cm078 yeah my cycles are really irregular and always have been so when we tried for #2 I did the same as you and tried not to track ovulation but after 3 months I felt like I was totally clueless and accepted I'm someone who needs to feel like they've got a bit more control. So I'm just gonna track from the beginning this time. I had my period about 2 weeks ago so not gonna do anything this month and just start after my next period. Good luck and hope it happens quickly for you! I'm 35 next month, TTC baby 3!

@ChloeN I'm so sorry to say but my cycles are all over the place so I honestly don't know whether the tablets affect it or not! How long have you been trying?

ChloeN · 27/09/2022 17:39

@3rdtimeisacharm hey lovely, do any of this vitamins alter your cycle? I’ve been considering taking them, I only take folic acid at the moment xxx

Cm078 · 27/09/2022 17:29

@3rdtimeisacharm I am trying for baby #2. First month trying but didn't track ovulation. I am CD 33. Waiting patiently for AF. Going to track next cycle as this seems to be a long one so think i missed ovulation by a mile!
Baby #1 took 3 months. He's 2.5 now. I'm 30 and partner 33.
How about you?

3rdtimeisacharm · 27/09/2022 17:03

Can everyone give me a brief rundown of their situation with regards to TTC please? First baby? How long have you been trying etc. It's sometimes hard to join these threads when people have been on here a while and know each others situations πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ

Londonlady22 · 27/09/2022 15:23

7DPO today and very mild AF type pains, a big part of me thinks it’s my period and already ready to move to cycle 4 but a small part of me still trying to be in the hope zone and is wondering if they could be implantation cramps as I don’t usually get cramps until day of AF! But I know its most likely period pain and I shouldn’t get my hopes up!

Plantymcplant · 27/09/2022 14:23

Is there a July chat yet? Think I will need to move to it as well

TTCn2 · 27/09/2022 14:08

@bubble55 oh hun I'm so sorry, so awful to have to go through that again. I really hope you get medical support asap and they figure out what's going on. Please be kind to yourself. Lots of love and hugs ❀

bubble55 · 27/09/2022 13:59

I’m out this month after a bleed at 4w3d. Feeling lost and confused after twice in three months. Not sure I can handle another loss but keen to keep trying. Hopefully a July BFP x

FieldView · 27/09/2022 12:25

Thanks @TTCn2! They were really helpful last year and did the usual blood tests and fb scan, and sent my dh for a semen analysis. Everything was fine, but it's been over a year since all the tests and all I've got to show for it is a 100 bfns and a mc. I know they don't have a magic wand, so totally just grasping at straws! Plus, if the chances of it happening naturally are really low, then I'm wondering if it might be time to consider IVF... How do you know?!?

TTCn2 · 27/09/2022 11:56

Ooo so there are quite a few of us waiting for AF to arrive today, let's hope we have some positive news!
@FieldView good on you for booking a GP appointment, no harm in it, I hope they're helpful. Ive also rebooked my blood tests to check my hormone levels. Other than that my GP said just to try to relax about it.....grrrr if only it was that simple!
Weirdly I'm now feeling nauseous today which I don't usually get when period is due, but its probably my brain/body playing tricks.
Good luck ladies!
And welcome @3rdtimeisacharm I hope things are as straightforward for you this time as they have been in the past.

FieldView · 27/09/2022 11:26

Hello cycle sisters! AF due today but hasn't appeared yet, and haven't had the usual spotting. Had a wobble yesterday evening wondering if it'll ever happen, so I've lined up a call with the GP for this afternoon. I'm not really sure what it'll achieve, but I just think I want to complain about it all to someone πŸ˜‚

takealettermsjones · 27/09/2022 10:58

AF due today, no sign yet. I have no tests in the house! 😬

3rdtimeisacharm · 27/09/2022 10:50

Hi girls can I join please?

DH & I have just decided to start trying for #3 we have two boys who are 3.5 and 18 months. We've been back and forth but finally decided to just go for it. We fell pregnant unexpectedly quickly with DC1 (I'd had my coil taken out only a week before we found out so even though he was "planned" it was definitely a shock) and DC2 took about 6 months but I was only actually tracking for 3 months.

I always take vital DHA and coq10 along with folic acid when I'm TTC so will do the same this time. And use the clear blue ovulation sticks as although they're expensive I know they work.

Good luck to everyone and 🀞🏼🀞🏼🀞🏼 we all get our babies soon!

NSx · 27/09/2022 10:39

@NSx @FieldView hi cycle buddies, any sign of AF? I've spotted as usual but AF not arrived yet. I'm very bloated, very emotional (although there is a lot of separate things going on in my life which trigger me) and sore boobs. I'm presuming I'm out (not tested) and just wishing AF would hurry up so I can move on to next month.
@NSx I know what you mean re: feeling broken, we're not, but it's still hard not to feel like this at times. Sending lots of hugs

ChloeN · 27/09/2022 06:07

@ExcitedandNervousC1 ive heard that too, just because you don’t see it every cycle doesn’t mean it’s not there!☺️xx

Cm078 · 26/09/2022 23:33

Cm078 · 26/09/2022 23:33

From my understanding and through reading old pregnancy tests, not everyone notices it. I had some on day 14 and CD 32 now. So I have no idea whats happened there!
Apparently when you notice it, it is your most fertile time and your body preparing for the semen. Can happen 2-3 days before ovulation.
Hope that helps.

Old pregnancy threads sorry, not tests!

Cm078 · 26/09/2022 23:33

ExcitedandNervousC1 · 26/09/2022 22:11

Ladies, a question for the group? Is it odd I've not noticed anything different about my CM around ovulation? Both cycles have had flashing smileys Nd then a static smiley which is great but I never really notice CM while people here are often talking about it..just wanted to check if anyone is the same?

Sparklythings1 · 26/09/2022 23:12

@skyofdiamonds fingers crossed for you 🀞🏼 I did have quite bad cramps early on, they were a lot less by 6 weeks but I remember in the second week of the tww there were times I could barely sit up

skyofdiamonds · 26/09/2022 23:11

I don’t feel lucky πŸ€
First chemical I only found out about by ending up in A and E in the most excruciating pain, I actually thought I was dying, and this month is manageable but still significant pain that requires anti inflammatories just to continue attending work.
Surely I can’t be normal and can’t see how it will end well, there must be some kind of imbalance going on πŸ˜•
I’ll let you know but really have doubts that I will get very far.

Sparklythings1 · 26/09/2022 23:11

@BethSuz27 I think it will just be because of the pill. I just stopped mine and AF arrived a few days ago on cd32. Last time it was nearer 40 days for the first month I’m sure! It’s so frustrating because it feels like such a waste of time when you know it’s coming and you need to start again but it’s not even arrived yet

Sparklythings1 · 26/09/2022 23:09

@ExcitedandNervousC1 I noticed it this month but it started a few days before ovulation and died down by ovulation. I think it depends on hormones, how hydrated you are etc.

NSx · 26/09/2022 22:46

@skyofdiamonds looks positive to me πŸ’•congratulations girl βœ¨β€¦

it always amazes me how some people can fall pregnant month after month. I swear my body must be broken or something 😩 you’re so lucky in that aspect 🀍

NSx · 26/09/2022 22:45

@ExcitedandNervousC1 i don’t seem to get this egg white stuff either - I get wet Cm though, like watery … my GP confirmed I ovulated this month with bloods … so maybe not everyone gets it - I don’t know.
