Hi all! As the title suggests, I have set this up as a space for those of us who are TTC and in that long wait between ovulation and when AF is due!
So, to kick us off... I have been TTC #2 since November. Had one chemical in that time and now well into the TWW with AF due on Tuesday! After spending a lot of money on early tests / having the disappointment of a chemical I am now avoiding early testing and will instead wait until AF is late, but zero judgement on anyone who likes to test early - I totally get the urge!

Look forward to hearing from others who are also on their TTC journey!

@GemLou88 thanks for asking lovely, I'm alright in quite a bit of pain and it's just a stark reminder of what's happening. trying to not overthink/blame myself but it's hard, fingers crossed for next month. How are you doing? Xx

GemLou88 · 06/04/2023 19:25

How you doing @Angelselevenx? Hope you’re looking after yourself xx
How are you getting on @peaky297 xx

Angelselevenx · 06/04/2023 10:38

@GemLou88 @RegardingPersephone @sashastuck thank you ladies 🤍

Sorry AF arrived for you @sashastuck 😔 were all on this journey together!

I kept tracking my BBT so I think I should be able to work out my next ovulation duo 🤞🏼 not sure how my cycles will mess up because of this though xx

RegardingPersephone · 06/04/2023 09:40

@Angelselevenx So sorry to hear that 😔 Look after yourself xx

sashastuck · 06/04/2023 09:26

So sorry to hear that @Angelselevenx ❤Take care of yourself x

AF came a day late for me. Here we go again

RegardingPersephone · 05/04/2023 16:52

2po now and still have quite a lot of cramping which is unusual for me. Trying not to read into it 😅 far too early!

GemLou88 · 05/04/2023 16:36

Oh @Angelselevenx I’m so sorry lovely. I hope you’re looking after yourself. Sending lots of love xx

Angelselevenx · 05/04/2023 12:18

@GemLou88 just wanted to let you know I had a chemical pregnancy, EPU scanned me this morning and couldn't find anything xx

GemLou88 · 05/04/2023 12:06

Hey Ladies. How are you all getting on?
@sashastuck I check my cervix during my cycle. Think you’re looking for it to be high, soft and closed or partially closed. But sometimes mine can stay high until the day before AF.
Just checked mine and it’s super high, soft and closed, can’t remember it ever being that high.
I’m still unsure of when or if I have ovulated. I’m going to take it I ovulated on the 1st as I got a static smiley on the clear blue on the 31st. I’ll wait another week to see if AF arrives as I’ve been driving myself crazy testing with OPK’s and pg tests.

sashastuck · 04/04/2023 15:03

Does anyone check their cervix? (Can you tell I’m clutching at straws here lol)
Just checked mine and defo feels high, soft, wet. But then again, I don’t think I’ve ever felt it ‘hard’ before (probs checked 5 times in my life). Think there’s anything in that?

@Kirstyddd you never know! ❤

Kirstyddd · 04/04/2023 11:56

@GemLou88 had a bit of cramping last night too but there is nothing yet, during it couldn’t be implication this late on

Angelselevenx · 04/04/2023 11:51

@GemLou88 thanks hun, EPU werent concerned at this stage as it came when my period was due and it's brown/not heavy. Said to keep an eye on it and they'll scan me next week when I hit 6 weeks as they wouldn't be able to see anything yet. Going to try to stop worrying as I know it's so common and just hope for the best xx

GemLou88 · 04/04/2023 11:50

@sashastuck @Ted0503 i did think I could have on CD16 too, but I got a peak on my clear blue digits ovulation test on CD22 🤷‍♀️ would be great if ovulation happened on cd16 as I’d be 10dpo and wouldn’t have to wait too long for AF. Hate this constant guessing game. Thanks for looking ladies.
Hope you’re feeling better @sashastuck its such an emotional rollercoaster. Have you been trying for long?
@Kirstyddd hope it’s not AF. Sending hugs
@RegardingPersephone hope the tww doesn’t drag for you. Wishing you lots of luck
@Angelselevenx let me know what the EPU say xx

sashastuck · 04/04/2023 11:37

@Ted0503 after looking again I agree with you, think it’s meant to drop then rise for 3 days! Which yours has @GemLou88 !

RegardingPersephone · 04/04/2023 10:45

1dpo now and the wait begins!

Kirstyddd · 04/04/2023 10:42

Getting very light cramping today assuming it mu AF starting,

@GemLou88 i haven’t tested today as I felt it pointless

Ted0503 · 04/04/2023 10:12

@GemLou88 its my first month tracking bbt so I’m by no means any expert but maybe ovulation on CD 16?

sashastuck · 04/04/2023 10:07

@GemLou88 pretty certain I’m out, thanks for asking! RHR dropped some more this morning and AF due today. Took it pretty hard and cried my eyes out upon waking up 😅 I haven’t done BBT for a while (used to use Natural Cycles as contraception) so I’m not sure of your graph but sending love and luck! X

GemLou88 · 04/04/2023 08:25

Still haven’t had ovulation confirmed through bbt on my app. I’m on CD26 now. Have no idea what’s going on but I think I have ovulated. Any ideas anyone?

@GemLou88 I am doing better thank you, trying to keep positive about this month and trying again. Got some time off from work this week and nice things planned to look forward to. Definitely helps to keep busy..
Thank you, hope you get good news soon too 😊. X

Kirstyddd · 03/04/2023 22:17

@GemLou88 nothing today, hoping it’s still to early but going with the I’m out,

I have ordered my Ovulation strips today

Ted0503 · 03/04/2023 22:08

@GemLou88 yeah 10 dpo, I don’t know you know when you have a feeling? We will see. But it’s good to see the temp results and still keep tracking even if it doesn’t happen this month! @Angelselevenx hope everything goes ok for you!

Angelselevenx · 03/04/2023 21:26

@GemLou88 yeah I've given them a call, they should ring back tomorrow and hopefully get me in. It's so common but when it happens to you, you just automatically think the worst! We're all our own worst enemies 🤣.

It only takes once remember! I've got my fingers crossed for you anyway xx

GemLou88 · 03/04/2023 21:24

@Ted0503 are you 10dpo? If so don’t count yourself out just yet. It could be a triphasic shift? I haven’t been bbt long enough yet but it could be x

GemLou88 · 03/04/2023 21:21

@Angelselevenx definitely call your EPU to get a scan for peace of mind. My friend had a baby a few weeks ago and for the first 6-7 weeks of her pregnancy she was bleeding. She ended up in A&E thinking she was having a miscarriage but she has a healthy baby girl now. They will scan you and it might be too early to see anything, but will book you in again for 2 weeks time to see progression. Definitely worth doing.
Im ok. Temp hasn’t detected O yet and I don’t think we have dtd enough for this cycle. So I’m hoping that keeps me pretty chilled out until AF arrives x
