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?

Can anyone recommend a BBT thermometer? Do I need to invest or will an amazon cheapie do the same thing?

Hi all am I okay to join?

Just started cycle 10 of ttc baby number 4!
Had two losses so far and feeling a bit lonely and fed up

Welcome, welcome. How old are babies 1, 2 and 3?

Sorry about your losses. I think the fed up part is a hard relate for many of us even when we've been trying for less time, so hopefully we can at least make the lonely thing better and have some solidarity in the grump

@AlbatrossSociety has she arrived. I am feeling well and truly fed up now. I just double checked Flo and I am officially 18DPO. No AF. I am having cravings like I usually do before AF but they are usually for chocolate and this time it was the total opposite. I wanted salt and ended up making a rosemary and olive loaf. Issue is it gives me hope that i could be pregnany but theres no chance at 18DPO with BFN

NOTHING. Although some quite intense cramping, I'm expecting to start tomorrow. Still very much negative on tests so I know she's coming. How about you?

I'm kind of sad to see some of you guys come over from Feb thread but also selfishly happy to have your company!

carolinep3 · 12/02/2025 17:14

At finally showed here! Cd2 now! Although I know cd1 is the first day of full flow, but if it doesn't start until 7pm I wonder if you still count that as cd1 🤔

Entering cycle 3 of TTC and I've just completed day 2 of AF. Ovulation is due 23 feb 🥰 I would rather have a baby in nov than dec so I hope this is our cycle 😂 But would be happy either way ofc!

Edited

I'm almost exactly the same as you! Cycle 3, day 3 of AF today so same as you, ovulation around the same time (I temped the first month then didn't last month so I'm not really sure on ovulation and going by typical time periods which I know could be way off).

I flip flop between wanting to get ovulation tests, temp, etc etc so we can try to time it right...and just wanting to do the deed regularly and not get so stressed about it. But we don't naturally do it enough so not sure which is less stressful!!

I was thinking that yesterday. Happy either way but obviously slightly better if not right on Christmas 😂

Hi everyone, moving over from the Feb group. I'm not out yet but won't be testing until beginning of March.

I'm 34, I'm currently on my 5th cycle TTC after missed miscarrige June 24. This month has been super confusing as haven't found my peak yet and my LH is going up and down. On CD 24 and normally ovulate between 19 and 21. Clears blues have been flashing for 10 days now!

Hey 1st cycle since having the coil removed last month, currently cd 22 I'm not sure when I ovulated to know how many dpo I am, my youngest is 11mo and it took 2+ years to conceive her i drove myself insane and was so depressed throughout my ttc journey with constant bfn. I did everything under the sun religiously did opks, bbt, pre seed and it was too much looking back i can't put myself through that so we're just praying it happens without me turning into a crazy chick 😂

I have 14yo,12yo,10yo,9yo & 11mo hoping to add baby no6 to our family and complete it 🙏❤️

Goodluck ladies i pray for your bfp to arrive soon x

I'm with you all, waiting for AF so I can move on to next cycle. I'd guess it'll start tomorrow or Wednesday. Think my cycle is still regulating after having the coil out last year.

Anyone done acupuncture??

I've started proper spotting today so hopefully starts quickly.
I've had fertility acupuncture

@carolinep3 i know I wish mine would just appear, it’s been a bit all over the place since I gave birth thought so just waiting it out and hoping it starts soon!

I have no idea how you are meant to do that if you are at work good luck though! 🤣

@carolinep3 with my 4 pregnancy’s once I stopped tracking is when I conceived, so my plan is to try not tracking for a few months!
im literally just waiting for AF to start so we can start to try it’s so infuriating just waiting for AF!

It so is! I know I'm
Out as I've just tested. I've literally
Found myself googling how to bring on your period 🙈😂.
I have the take this specific test cd1 and the instructions are so complicated, it has to be done within the first 6 hrs of full flow, so I'm carrying a sample pot around with me 🙈 have no idea how I'm going to 'collect' it if I'm
At work 😬

I just wish af would hurry up so I can start a new cycle!!
I don't know whether to midd this month out, or at least not track. My fertility mentor thinks I'm Not conceiving due to a microbiome problem, I can't take the official test until cd1, then the results take 3-5 weeks, then if positive I would have to get antibiotics!
