Hi all just creating a new thread since the other one is almost full!!! Really really hoping this is our month, but not hopeful, DH is away with work for most of my FW and only comes home the day before I think I will ov. I've also injured my back!!!

Sorry af showed @Purple29 and @My2boysaremyworld just waiting on her to show for me as well xx

Sorry AF has arrived for a few of you, I thought there had been lots of good news on here this week 😔 I think the first few days of AF are the worst. I’m just out the other side of it but every time in the first few days I just think there’s nothing you can do apart from waiting til it passes, it’s so frustrating! I ended up doing loads of research and ordering way more vitamins than necessary 🤣

@Purple29 xx

I was always a 28 day cycle, so the dr said to dtd on cd 7, 11,13 and 15.
You just adjust the days depending on your cycle so if your 30 days than would be cd9, 13, 15 and 17.

It worked after 2 years of nothing, was pregnant after 2 months with DS and then we fell after 2 months with the one we lost. Its harder now cause I vary from 26-29 days.

@UserL95 hope you get your BFP. I was spotting brown/pink from Tuesday and hoped it was implantation cuz AF wasn't due until Monday. Was just my body tricking me as AF came full force in the middle of the night xx

My2boysaremyworld · 29/10/2022 12:22

@Bluelightbaby thank you going to Brighton for 2 nights xx

Mummyme87 · 29/10/2022 12:21

@My2boysaremyworld sorry AF has come but new cycle fresh start. I get a few days of spotting prior to AF sometimes, I think those are months where I don’t ovulate.

ovulation day today for me and I’m feeling it for the first time in ages. Hoping this is a positive sign that it’s actually happening for me this cycle and it’s not an annovulatory cycle!!

My2boysaremyworld · 29/10/2022 12:19

@Purple29 me too. Are you 40 in December then? I turn 40 1st December and my OH turns 40 30th November xx

Sorry AF has turned up xx

UserL95 · 29/10/2022 12:19

@My2boysaremyworld @Purple29 so sorry to hear about your BFN and arrival of AF - it never gets easier but happy that your OHs are so supportive.

@Bluelightbaby that sounds so tough!! Although I’m not in that position, I don’t really talk to my DH about fertile days etc, sometimes I might about ovulation day but rarely in our 9 months of TTC and I find it really helps with the performance pressure. He doesn’t have low sex drive but he does struggle with stress and anxiety which plays a big role aswell. He cycles ashwaganda and maca root to help with this - natural and multiple benefits for body. Would your OH be willing to try something like this?

im now 11 DPO and still BFN on fmu with internet cheapies. I’m considering an FRER tomorrow but don’t know if there’s any point. Feeling extremely tired these last few days. And tmi but wiped a bit of browny bloody dry discharge today. Coincidently my FLO app told me (without me even logging the discharge) that I could experience implantation bleeding today?? Trying not to pin everything on it but feeling so deflated already and loosing hope for the long run if this month we don’t catch

Bluelightbaby · 29/10/2022 12:17

@Olegia its our first together. I have a 15&17yr old DD from my first marriage

@My2boysaremyworld ahhh have a fab birthday together !!

Purple29 · 29/10/2022 12:12

As I thought AF has just turned up. Didn't have my usual cramps but was feeling really hot which is normal for me before AF. So CD1, we go again!!! This is my last chance to concieve before I'm 40!!!

My2boysaremyworld · 29/10/2022 12:05

On the plus side of AF turning up early it means she should be done with next cycle before me and OH go away for 2 nights for our joint 40th birthdays xx

My2boysaremyworld · 29/10/2022 12:04

@Bluelightbaby bless you I hope it happens for you. I turn 40 start of December and I'm panicking too. Glad your OH treats you like the queen you are xx

Olegia · 29/10/2022 12:03

@Bluelightbaby sorry to hear that! Sending hugs and kisses your way. Would this be your first?

My2boysaremyworld · 29/10/2022 12:02

@Olegia thank you xx

Bluelightbaby · 29/10/2022 11:59

@My2boysaremyworld ahhh sounds like a keeper ! My OH treats me like a queen, truly looks after me in every aspect but he’s got such a low sex drive it’s frustrating:(

Bluelightbaby · 29/10/2022 11:57

@My2boysaremyworld sorry forgot to tag you in above reply !

Bluelightbaby · 29/10/2022 11:56

@Olegia tbh i think I’ve missed my fertile window completely anyway although he doesn’t know that. We’ve been ttc for 9months and it’s become so stressful that we (he) decided no tracking no talking about fertile days and not always ejaculating inside. He’s got a really low sex drive but he said it’s making him not want to have sex at all now as it’s all too stressful - However I did think after not having sex for so long he’s at least cum inside me this time.

time is not on my side I’m nearly 43 and clearly want this more than him so happy to give it everything. Just so deflated :(

Olegia · 29/10/2022 11:49

@My2boysaremyworld aw sorry to hear... ! Onto the next cycle!

@Bluelightbaby How come he pulled out? Was it in your fertile window?

My FRER tests have arrived through the mail today, though I really want to hold out for at least another 3 days... I've been smelling/tasting metallic taste slightly... I don't know if it's just a figment of my imagination, or because I read somewhere it's one of the more rare symptoms of conception... arghhh

My2boysaremyworld · 29/10/2022 11:46

I have the best boyfriend. I'm in agony with this AF, he has just been and got my folic acid tablets for me from the chemist and bought me my towels too xx

My2boysaremyworld · 29/10/2022 11:45

@Bluelightbaby thank you. Oh no hun did you ask him why he did that? Xx

Bluelightbaby · 29/10/2022 11:36
