Hi everyone moving over to March now as AF has arrived today. That means my last cycle was 26 days. My cycles haven’t been the same since being on the depo injection. I’ve had 33, 28, 31, 29, 21 lol. As long as I ovulate then I’m happy. Is temperature the only way to know if you have actually ovulated?

I'm not sure if im more upset by being out this month or my luteal stage being rubbish 😭

littlefox90 · 23/02/2025 18:50

AF arrived today at 9dpo 😭 I don't understand why luteal phase is so short. Can gp help? What can they do?

Got my smiley on my pink clearblue this morning, had a temp rise but pre mom still only 6.3 so I shall test with them throughout the day and then I’ll get dancing tonight

Oh will be interesting to see them side by side.

Im now 4dpo and going to try my best not to test until AF is definitely late... But I tend to get crazy at 10dpo so we wills see

Officially in the TWW, 3rd cycle trying, sending baby dust to everyone:)

@LJJ23 really sad news LJJ, hope you are holding up ok.

I’m 3DPO now and the slow demise into madness has already begun. Highlights include googling ‘symptoms 1DPO’. Doesn’t matter how long I’ve been doing this for, the TWW always gets me!

Sorry to hear that @LJJ23 hope you're ok x

Hello and sorry to see you on here @Matildahoney.
I think you’ve worded it quite well there @BerrieSweet! Also now on cycle 3, wondering why dtd in the fertile window hasn’t worked. And now beyond the point now where we conceived DD so trying to bat away the intrusive thoughts of ‘there’s something wrong with you’, more just that we were very lucky with DD!

Show quote history

I feel the same, with my daughter I wasn't even really trying, it was first cycle. My BMI is high, although I do have high muscle mass, and I keep getting caught in the thought trap around there being something wrong even though I know it's totally normal for it to take a while

Hi all,

Provisionally joining as I'm pretty sure I'm having a chemical pregnancy. Looking like I'll be trying again x

Sorry to hear about your CP, sending hugs!❤️

I get impatient at some parts of my cycle but then in others I'm really not. It's weird! The first cycle I spent up to ovulation super excited and wanting to be pregnant then as soon as I passed ovulation I was all "so...it would be nice for my period to show up so I can be reassured life is still normal" 😂that's slowly changing over time but there's still some times in the cycle I feel more "ready" than others. Hormones are crazy things!

this is me too! one minute i’m chilled “ it will happen when it happens” next minute im a women possessed 🤣

I've just read a really good book for impatient women trying to get pregnant. I've added a photo.

Oooh I have to look in to that book, great tips for an impatient girly 😂😍

BerrieSweet · 23/02/2025 06:10

littlefox90 · 22/02/2025 23:52

@berriesweet I felt like that, I'm on cycle 5 now 😣 I'm hoping if I don't get a BFP I at least start to calm into it a bit.

@midnight00 ohhh I might take a look into acupuncture

Yes!! Same!!🙃

BerrieSweet · 23/02/2025 06:07

Blinking smiley this morning as well, I think I will peak tonight or tomorrow morning and then ovulate after that that. ChatGPT thinks I'm about to ovulate soon based on my temp, very interesting! This is like a little experiment 😂

Shellbells44 · 23/02/2025 05:06

7DPO today. Feeling lots of cramping today! But think it’s just my body gearing us for my period! Reading people’s posts about acupuncture is getting me thinking about trying it!

@AlbatrossSociety I'm also having acupuncture! It's great. Really think it helped things when I conceived DS. Let us know how you find it!

I have never done before but did buy some clear blue sticks this month, I can't decide whether to use them or just got for the scatter gun approach 😅. Totally get what you mean about dtd, we seem to be in a pretty chilled place with it this month where every day/every other day is pretty much what we're doing anyway, but that hasn't been the case for each month we've been trying.

I'm going to acupuncture on Wednesday this week, pretty excited about that! And curious.

So glad that you're at a more chill place with the DTD thing 🥰 exciting and interesting with the acupuncture, I've heard about it but dosen't know a lot!

I'm sooo tired of not being preggo and doing all of this over and over again, I can't believe how hard it must be for people that have tried for years when this is how I feel in my third cycle

@AlbatrossSociety Ahh so annoying to wait 😂Do you do tests for ovulation? If you DTD every other day tho maybe testing would be unnecessary 🥰 Me and my DP can DTD once a day if we're not TTC but as soon as we TTC we feel more pressure and it takes the joy out of it, so we try to DTD 3-4 times ish in my fertile window.

AlbatrossSociety · 22/02/2025 20:39

BerrieSweet · 22/02/2025 19:19

@Floralcat Exciting!! I think I'm going to ovulate tomorrow or monday, so we'll be close in our cycles 😍 If you can DTD tonight I think that's amazing, It only takes one sperm after all 🤭

I'm CD10 tomorrow but my apps are predicting that I will ovulate on CD19. Which is mental. The latest it's been before is CD17. I have been tracking temperature this month so it has new data so I'm curious to see what will happen. DP is away this weekend but we're gonna do every other day at least for a couple weeks when he's back just to try and cover the bases!
