TTC Sept 2023

@secondtimelucky87 Yup, I'm temping and it seems to be doing a zig zag too 😂 I've had a very mild cold so who knows. It's above the cover line anyway so keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

@moosey89 Thanks for pointing that out, I must be a day less dpo than I thought then which is annoying 😂 Currently DPO6

I had a call with a consultant yesterday for advice as to what to do as this is cycle 10 and concerned about my age/ no children yet. She said to give it 4 more months then look at fertility treatments - which I really don’t want to do!

Also prescribed me Cyclogest and Claxane (spelling?) to take once bpf to help prevent miscarriage. All so stressful!

@UnaVaca Awwh so sorry. Hopefully this month is the month for you!
Im expecting to start on Saturday and I really don’t want to 😓😓 but all BFN so far

@UnaVaca I'm sorry, that's rubbish. I was feeling really tired and a bit down last night. Reckon it's pms (af due tomorrow). Hope you are feeling better soon, once period is over & you have a new cycle to get started with.

@UnaVaca I'm sorry, it's so hard isn't it. AF arrived for me a few days ago, I've been in a bit of a funk but coming to the end of my period now & looking ahead at ovulation dates and trying to get back into a positive mindset

@MrsHousePlant haha yes symptom spotting is such an easy thing to get sucked in to 🙈 both times I've been pregnant sore boobs has been my only sign so I guess I'd test if that happens, otherwise I'll wait and see if AF arrives which would be around 11 Sept. I don't like seeing negative tests so I'd rather wait. With the previous losses as well, I'd almost not want to have as long between finding out and the 12 week scan 😂 so the later I test the better really!

@moosey89 thank you! We’ve done all we can do this month so I’ll just wait and try not to symptom spot now 😂 🤞🏻

So sorry to hear about your mmc. Hopefully the next week and a bit go quickly for you. Are you going to start testing early? I drove myself a bit mad last month (first month TTC) with a late period for the first time in forever and many negative tests! I’d like to hold off this time but I know what I’m like!

@MrsHousePlant yep that's how I've always counted it ☺️ clearblue goes static smiley at the start of your LH surge so you likely ovulate around 24hrs later.

I'm 4dpo now first cycle since mmc in July and totally forgot how much the 2ww drags 😂🙈

If my CB ovulation test was static for the first time yesterday morning and stays on for 48 hours does that make tomorrow 1DPO?

About to start the agonising TWW. Though at least this time I’m not on annual leave because last month I was off during the TWW and drove myself quite crazy 😂

Anyone else temping? My BBT is all over the place despite peak around CD12/13. I was unwell twice this month so I'm hoping that might be the reason as I've read it can mess up your cycle (first month trying to do BBT every day).

Doesn’t help that my period always makes me feel really emotional and down every single month.

So sorry. I know this feeling well xx

@HashB i ovulate later than the average. Today is 10 days DPO.

@UnaVaca I’m so sorry, how long have you been trying? And also how many DPO are you today?

Thanks so much. It's definitely something I'm strongly considering. I'm CD 20 so expecting AF in around a week. When it inevitably turns up that'll probably decide it for me haha. I've seen a few people selling them on FB marketplace which would save some pennies!

Just got my period and want to cry and cry.

Hi all, hope it’s ok to join. Month 9 of ttc number 2. Currently on cd 8 so just patiently waiting on ovulation. Anyone else around the same?

@HashB Yes cervical mucus. I’ve heard people say similar, so maybe it could be a good sign!

@Riverofhope is CM cervical mucus? This is TMI but I am 5DPO and this morning when I got back from walking the dogs, I had so much really thick discharge in my underwear. It was so much I had to change!

i’m not usually a dischargey person

@muffin1996 I’ve seen people say that they noticed they felt more ‘wet’ and changes in CM. Then again first time I conceived I didn’t notice anything until sickness!
I hope it happens soon for you 🙏🏼

Hi all, just about to start my third cycle (although count it as my 2nd proper one as first one had just come off pill). Ordered the CB ovulation tests this month as was just going off what my Apple Watch told me last month.
Fingers crossed, I'm TTC #1 and I'm 37.

Congratulations @Lorddenning1! 6 days sounds about the right timeframe for that to have increased!

@Lorddenning1 Congratulations! I would do one again tomorrow just to be on the safe side but no doubt about it!

@Riverofhope Is having a more CV than usual a sign?

TWW is so hard. It's like I've forgotten how I used to spend my days before this lol.
I'm just going to focus on work now and hopefully that should take my mind off for a while.
I'm also going to London for a couple of days in tomorrow and I'm going to leave the pregnancy tests behind intentionally. Expecting AF Saturday 😥and then hopefully start of a new cycle

@MrsHousePlant @muffin1996 Thank you both! So hard not to try to symptom spot. I was convinced I was out, but now this morning feel a bit achy and have more CM than usual I’m wondering again…!
You’re right - no symptoms and not getting a positive until later are all totally normal too.
why is it a holiday flies by but the TWW is forever 😂.
