Hey hey, making this thread to lead on from last months. I’m 1 or 2 dpo today and I’m going to try and not symptom spot this month!! Also going to try my best to not test until 12dpo at the earliest!

what DPO are you all?

Sorry to all those with AF! Flowers

I am still waiting on mine so I can clear my head and start again...

Mortima · 13/11/2022 11:22

@MillieKitty I'm okay thanks - I knew a CP was likely as my lines weren't progressing, but it's hard not to get your hopes up! On the plus side, we now know that we can conceive, and there seems to be some thought that fertility can increase for a little while after a chemical. So we'll definitely be back on it in this new cycle (probably our last chance for 2022 as I think fertile week will fall over Christmas for us, and we'll be spending it with our respective families this year). Hope things are still well with you?

@Emmalou0607 Sorry AF got you Flowers Fingers crossed next time is our lucky one

MillieKitty · 13/11/2022 09:14

Sorry to hear of AF guys, I'm hopeful that this will be your month!

@Mortima how are you doing?

Emmalou0607 · 12/11/2022 23:58

Finally officially out with AF this evening 😢

PPop · 12/11/2022 13:23

@Peeonastick22 mines 26th!! Yeah I'm trying to find the positive but watching a programme character found out she's pregnant and now there is a sick dog. If it dies I don't think I can take it... 🤦‍♀️

@Emmalou0607 next ovulation date is around my bday so fingers crossed!
Are you at the point where that glimmer of hope just tantalises you?

Emmalou0607 · 12/11/2022 10:17

@PPop sounds like we're in a similar boat now waiting to see if AF turns up. Normally start 12DPO and today is 13DPO, negative yesterday and can't bring myself to keep checking so now just waiting for the inevitable

Emmalou0607 · 12/11/2022 09:50

@Mortima sending positive vibes, hope you're holding up okay!

Mortima · 12/11/2022 09:38

Thanks everyone - I'll test later but I'm sure I'm out now. I'm ok, just allowing myself to feel sad today - at least it's the weekend and I have nothing planned.
Commiserations to @PPop and @Peeonastick22 as well Flowers

Wrenegade · 12/11/2022 09:17

Im sorry to hear this @Mortima hoping you’re ok

PPop · 12/11/2022 09:15

Hope you are okay @Mortima

I am negative today. So I guess I'm out. Just wait for AF. I feel deflated again.

Looks like AF is well and truly on the way! Cramps and blood stained CM

looking at the positive side, my birthday is coming up and it will be nice to have a drink!

Also I’m actually supposed to ovulate on my birthday this cycle! Will be a sweet bday present if I conceive

@Mortima no symptoms but no normal pms symptoms either so a bit confused. Only thing is I do feel like my hormones / emotions are all over the place but that also could just be the result of a stressful week 😩

PPop · 11/11/2022 13:27

@Mortima thank you! I spoke with DH about it and he said quite rightly she wouldn't expect us to stop or adjust our lives so we should carry on! I just hope (maybe a little selfishly) that it doesn't dampen my families spirits either way it does happen knowing someone else is waiting... I'm sure it won't but yeah I am apparently just overthinking everything as per usual.

Mortima · 11/11/2022 12:21

@PPop It is kind to think of your sister, but please don't feel bad at all about your own TTC journey - you can't delay your own life for everyone else. Cross that bridge when you come to it - fingers crossed for you testing this weekend.

@Wrenegade Glad time is speeding up a bit for you - it does feel good to draw a line under a cycle and move on. I'm well thanks, no significant symptoms at the moment, just struggling to focus on work and trying to take each day as it comes!

@Peeonastick22 @Emmalou0607 Sorry about the BFNs - hope you get some resolution soon, one way or another

@Wrenegade its crazy how quick it goes once AF shows up! Can’t wait for mine to show! Due tomorrow but still no sign, weird that I spotted 3 days ago and then it stopped but bodies can be strange hey! Still negative tests though so I’m counting myself out- fingers crossed AF isn’t late so I can start a new cycle ASAP!

glad you’re getting some hope back for a new cycle 🥰

@Peeonastick22 I feel like as soon as AF shows up, time speeds up too. Can’t believe I’m CD 3 already. If this was the TWW it would have felt like an eternity so I appreciate how you are feeling. The hope and optimism is coming back for a new cycle. How are you today? Any signs of AF?

@Mortima That is a lovely way to think about CD1, it made me smile! Definitely looking at ways to reduce stress over the coming weeks and reduce pressure on the process. How are you? Have you developed any new symptoms?

@Emmalou0607 sorry that there wasn’t a BFP, it is still quite early to test. Do you have any symptoms? I read that LP tend to stay the same and the rest of the cycle adjusts but ofc our bodies don’t tend to listen to the rules.

MillieKitty · 11/11/2022 10:20

@PPop it's a mix of cramps and like a trapped wind kind of feeling! Nausea hasn't hit yet but I'm sure it will, I envy women who get no symptoms 😂

PPop · 11/11/2022 10:07

@MillieKitty any other symptoms? Or is it like cramping tummy aches?

MillieKitty · 11/11/2022 10:04

@PPop oooo exciting! I'm good thanks, I'm in bed by 8 every night and have a lot of tummy aches but all good 😂

PPop · 11/11/2022 09:13

@MillieKitty I am thinking Saturday? I bought some more early detection by w company called conceive plus, not sure if they are any good! These days feel so long!
How you getting on? How you feeling?
