Ooo can I join? I think I’m on my TTW. Finished my period on 7th, don’t have consistent cycles as I’m still BF my son so sometimes my cycle is 15 days, sometimes 44 it’s a nightmare to track and ovulation tests never work for me. I’ve been feeling really sick, cramps, sore nipples and egg white mucus, then thick creamy and now a mixture but loads of it so have no idea what’s going on.

Enigma85 · 21/02/2023 10:01

So sorry @Tottenhaminmyblood it's just soul destroying isnt it. I'm on CD9 and got a flashing smiley this morning so hopefully my cycle is going to be more normal this month! It's weird though I don't feel how I usually do this time of the month where I get increased sex drive and CM so still not totally convinced. But we'll dtd every other day and will increase if it goes static. I've got everything crossed for you that AF doesn't come and you get a bfp xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 20/02/2023 20:31

@Enigma85 i tested on a clear blue not a digital one but the other one today and was bfn , I’m due Friday so I’m out . I just don’t know if I can do this anymore . Hope your ok xx

Yes @Tottenhaminmyblood I'll start doing opks a couple of days after AF ends and really hope I get something this time. 8dpo is super early, there is still hope xxx

TunnocksTCake · 15/02/2023 22:09

Me! I'm 2dpo today and think I'm going to have to test next Friday before we go to the in laws 😬 Ttc no2 and cycle 4.
Placemarking for now and will catch up tomorrow but I've seen lots of positives on here already 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for many more x

Tottenhaminmyblood · 15/02/2023 21:57

@Enigma85 after my sisters mc it took her 3 months for her cycles to become regular again so hopefully it won’t be that long for you . Are you going to use opks this cycle ? I’m ok just 8dpo and did a clear blue ovulation test as some people said that will show up a pregnancy but negative so I’m clearly not this month . Have you been keep img busy ? Xx

So sorry about your bfn @AgeGapBbe, soul destroying isn't it xx

Enigma85 · 15/02/2023 21:02

Hi @Tottenhaminmyblood - I'm back on CD3, pretty sure I didnt ovulate last cycle and it ended up being only 17 days before I bled again! It's likely to just be messed up hormones from the mc so I've got everything crossed that when this bleeding is over I'll have a good month with positive opks! How are you doing?xx

AgeGapBbe · 15/02/2023 18:51

Annnnnnnnd BFN, no shock at all! I guess I’d better hang tight for AF now…

AgeGapBbe · 15/02/2023 18:30

@Tottenhaminmyblood apparently about a week! But he has to book in a time slot for its delivery at the hospital next… because it’s so time dependent from when you do it.

the biggest kick is that DSiS got pregnant 1st try in an arranged donor situation, several months after I’d come off contraception to try. I spent the whole time worrying about how I’d tell her I was pregnant, and how to have her as involved as possible since she had been so upset at turning 39 with no partner and probably not being able to afford an official donor. I kept the whole thing to myself as to not upset her… I felt like a mug.

Tottenhaminmyblood · 15/02/2023 18:18

@AgeGapBbe i know constantly being told that we would end up pregnant if having sex and now I’m desperate and nothing . I’m 37 this year and just don’t know if I can deal with the heartbreak anymore of every month . I have 20 nieces and nephews and all the attention on them which it should be and I try to be an amazing aunty but just soul destroying . I did have horrific heartburn Saturday night and I never get that .

how long will the results take ? X

OP posts:
AgeGapBbe · 15/02/2023 18:10

@Tottenhaminmyblood I would just rather know if it’s not going to happen. All this emotional energy when it literally might not be possible. DSiS had her baby and all the fuss is on her (quite rightly) but not only do i live further away but I don’t seem to be having much luck anyway!

I keep thinking that it’ll be much better for it to happen in a few months time anyway- for work and mortgage renewal as well as financial issues, but I’d just like to know it’s possible really. You spend the whole of your teens thinking that if you so much as look at a penis then you’ll get pregnant- it’s quite the shock when you do everything and it doesn’t happen.

Tottenhaminmyblood · 15/02/2023 18:06

@AgeGapBbe thats amazing that he collected it !! I guess saying how you felt has given him the kick he needed. Due today really keeping my fingers crossed for you ! I am 8dpo today and someone said that ovulation tests can show positive if pregnant so I tried that abs was negative . So hard x

OP posts:
AgeGapBbe · 15/02/2023 17:58

@Tottenhaminmyblood he collected it!!! I said to him quite simply that every day, it bothers me, and I think about the pot and the sperm test and being able to have a baby. That it literally is on my mind every single day. He seemed quite surprised! 🤦‍♀️ men! He asked again what we’d do if it comes back with a poor result- every time it’s mentioned that’s what he says. I just said we’d have to cross that bridge if it happens etc. 2 days later he’d collected it!

I’ve not really got any symptoms of anything, AF due today according to my app but I’m not often spot on. Might do a test and get night just to check but I’d be very shocked. This is the first month I’ve not done at least 2 or 3 by this point so at least I’m a bit more relaxed I guess. Im 36 and he is 56.

Tottenhaminmyblood · 15/02/2023 17:41

@Enigma85 how are you ? Xx

OP posts:
Tottenhaminmyblood · 15/02/2023 17:40

@AgeGapBbe has he said anymore about collecting the pot ? How old are you ? Any symptoms your due Af soon aren’t you ? X

OP posts:
AgeGapBbe · 08/02/2023 19:19

He did finally go the other week abs thought he had to wait for a pot to be posted, though now we think he has to go and collect one but he just won’t prioritise it! He works from home 3 days a week and I know it’s super hectic- some days his lunch is whatever he can grab in 5 mins then he’s only his next meeting etc. BUT he could prioritise it more.

I had my implant out a year ago, I think I felt privately that it would happen really quickly… my cycles took a while to properly settle down though and so it’s only been about 5/6 months of active trying and monitoring ovulation etc. My hormone levels are fine.

Tottenhaminmyblood · 08/02/2023 19:14

@AgeGapBbe has he been to the doctors ? It’s so hard isn’t it especially when our closest around us are having babies . Have you been trying long ? X

OP posts:
AgeGapBbe · 08/02/2023 16:11

I feel very nonchalant, almost bored now in the 2WW. My sister’s just had her baby and I just don’t see it happening for me tbh. I don’t have any pregnancy symptoms and im 6dpo. Which I know is fairly common but still… 🤷‍♀️ I don’t know. It doesn’t help with dp not pulling his finger out with his sperm analysis. If he hasn’t got any I’d rather know rather than have hope.

Tottenhaminmyblood · 07/02/2023 16:33

@Enigma85 mine is younger then me and I’m 37 soon and don’t think he quite gets it that it’s not as easy for me . When do you start testing in the tww? Have you had blood tests to see if you ovulate ? X

OP posts:
Enigma85 · 07/02/2023 09:12

They say you're fertile about 5 days before ovulation and for a couple after so it's worth still dtd tonight if you can! Remember the sticks etc don't know exactly when it will happen, there is still hope! Yeah he's supportive but has an annoying optimism and doesn't feel the time pressure that I do, I'm 37 and he just thinks it's all fine!

Tottenhaminmyblood · 07/02/2023 08:49

@Enigma85 im so sorry let’s keep fingers crossed that somehow you do ovulate ! Is your dh supportive ? I’m out this month also my partners child came and stayed last night and in our bed so no dtd. I’m so sitting here crying , I know I need to pull myself together but I know I’ve probably ovulated and no chance now xx

OP posts:
Enigma85 · 06/02/2023 21:30

@Tottenhaminmyblood It could be either but I have a feeling I wont ovulate this month. I just feel different like no sex drive or fertile cm :( we have decided to dtd every other day just incase something happens and my temp and lh don't detect it, but honestly in my head I've written off this month. It's such a rollercoaster isn't it, but yours is sounding more positive than mine this month so I really hope it happens for you!x

Tottenhaminmyblood · 06/02/2023 19:24

@Enigma85 would that mean that you haven’t ovulated this month ? Or that you have missed it ? This is all so hard isn’t it ? Everyone else just seems to fall pregnant . I am on cd11 today and got the static on cd10 but flashy smiley in the morning , didn’t expect the ovulation test to change so quick . Are you still dtd ?

OP posts:
Enigma85 · 06/02/2023 18:39

Not good, I used to always ovulate cd13 so would have flashing smileys a few days before then. Now on cd11 and still stark negative LH tests, plus, my temp sky rocketed on cd8 and has stayed up! Like ovulation temp but no ovulation so I just don't know what's going on and neither does my natural cycles app :( already feel like this month is hopeless. What CD are you on now? That's good you got the static :) I'd dtd a couple of days after too just for luck!
