Ttc may 2024

@OneAmber this is interesting your GP has said this, I usually focus BD before/ during ovulation and then the day after ovulation.

after that I’m done for the month 😅, I wonder if I’m making a mistake here, I thought that after ovulation it’s basically impossible to get pregnant until the next cycle as the egg has gone. x

Smiley not smiley!
I also think it is interesting that the instructions on CB digital ovulation tests say to not test again once you get a static reading but I am 99.9 percent sure that my second surge would have been the right one and I would have missed it!

I'm now 8 dpo, I think. I got a static smikey a week earlier than usual, then I left it a couple of days, it went to 0 for another couple of days, then it started flashing again and i got another static when i would normally expect it. Got very curious! Left it another 48 hours and then got a couple of days before, yelling, you guessed it, another static. Still showing static now. Not sure what all that's about! I dont have pcos and I have never had more than one surge before. Far too early for OPK to be confusing LH with HCG though.
Got a couple of symptoms which are nothing unusual for me so I will have to see in a week or so...
This waiting is so bad!!

Ohhh Drs take ages to help! Why don’t you try herbs?! I know quite a lot of people who sorted out their cycles and got pregnant. So… from the 1st day of your cycle sage leaf tincture and when you will catch ovulation othilia secunda (borovaya matka) after ovulation. Othilia secunda you can order from eBay (from Ukrain or Poland).
Sage will help with ovulation, othilia secunda helping with endometriosis, polyps and other women health and also with progesteron. Do your own research about both herbs on Internet of course xx

No medication, only because my gp just tells me to BD every other day for a year and come back before she will give me anything.

I have seen some people mention different vitamins but I don’t know much about how effective they are, have you tried?

Such a long journey 😔I hope this cycle will be successful for you 🤗

Hmm have you tried any meds or herbs to normalise your cycle?

I had something similar to this in two cycles recently which I’ve never experienced before but then it just went away, very random! It makes it harder when you aren’t sure what’s happening in your cycle doesn’t it

I’m in my TTW. I actually had a really weird cycle this month so I’m pretty sure I’m out but still hopeful. This will be month 10 of TTC.
I think I’m on dpo7 so still a few days before I can test or AF comes!
For the first time ever I got spotting before ovulation. As soon as my EW appeared it was tinged with blood, it culminated on one day where I actually thought AF was coming and then it stopped completely - I think this was the day I ovulated although my temps have been a bit weird because I haven’t been sleeping well. Fingers crossed for everyone on here. It’s such a long hard journey 💕

I have tried them but I think my surge is extremely short, only once did I manage to get a positive and it was gone within a few hours. That’s why I switched to temping but I only just read it can be inaccurate for people with irregular periods. Oh that would be the dream but for some reason, I’m just not hopeful, I will let you know when I do test :-)

Hey hey 👋 Thank youuu so much, I wish you lots of luck too! For some people is easier to wait until the missed period and others start playing lab tech from 6dpo (that’s me haha). We are all different and it’s fine. So Nicee to talk to someone, it is so lonely to wait for || by yourself. Thank you for welcoming me to the cycle buddies group 😍

Thank you. The last 3 have ranged from 34-41 but last year I had 2 x 60 day cycles. Because my BBT temps had ‘confirmed’ ovulation, we chilled out on BD’ing and I’m regretting that now, I’m thinking we should get back to it just in case!

I saw you’re waiting for AF in the next few days, I’ve got my fingers crossed for you!

Hi Mia! I'm 9dpo today as well. I couldn't resist testing today and negative - totally expected it and knew it would be but yet I love to torture myself! 😂 Sending you loads of luck. Keep us posted when you test

Hi ladies

Hope it’s okay to join in too!

According to FF, I ovulated 19 days ago and I haven’t got AF yet but I am scared to take a test and be disappointed with a BFN (I have irregular periods so I don’t know if I trust that I ovulated).

Its so nice everyone has a place to share their journey like this, it can be quite lonely!

Hi Everyone, I hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend? Good luck to everyone testing this week, I hope AF stays clear!

I’m around 7/8 DPO (I had my static smiley on the clear blues last Saturday morning)

I have some slight prickly feelings on my right ovary side but I think I’ve had these before so trying not to get my hopes up. I’ve got a long week ahead 😅

I am planning for #2
with the first one I had lots of nightmares!

@TicklishDreamer good for you for waiting! I hate the feeling of a negative test where you still sort of convince yourself it might be a false negative. So doesn’t really release any anticipation 😂

As a side note, has anyone ever had wacky dreams as a pregnancy symptom? I didn’t have that before my MMC but have had mental dreams for about 6 nights now / whenever I have a nap.

Fingers crossed for you! Until AF arrived no one is out of the ‘game’!

Oh wow fair play ladies for not testing. You all have such strong will power. Hope you all get BFPs 🤞🏼❤️ (remember, AF symptoms are the same as pregnancy so you never know). Keep us updated 🤞🏼

Hi all! I am new here, would love to join you. I am on my ttc cycle 2. Today is 9 dpo. Of course I can’t resist testing (have a small lab in my bathroom already LH/PDG/HCG) 😂 PDG +++ HCG -
I wish I could have more patience!!
I hope we all will see || asap! 😍
