4DPO, really tried to go it alone but think it may be nice to have some ladies to chat with and share experiences whilst we wait x

Morning ladies, I got a bit distracted yesterday.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out.

waiting to test is the hardest part, I think I’ll be fine this week because I know there’s actually no point, but next week will be super difficult.

I really want to wait until my period is due, otherwise I just spiral.

It’s also my first bubba too, really hoping we get good news ladies.

I’ve tried temping, I didn’t have the discipline, but lh strips seems to have done the trick, I can manage those.

@Biscuitbaby2218 you seem to know your body which is good, you know it so well you’ve conceived twice despite all the odds, that’s fab!!!

@thismonthsfad oooo your first !! So exciting ☺️ I really hope you get your BFP this month ! Just in time for Christmas ! Honestly I’ve never temped before but through hearing other people talk about it I looked into it and think it might be beneficial to me ! I never really know for sure when I O I basically just look for my EWCM and best estimate based off my cycles lately and hope for the best 😅

I’ve tried LH strips and my hormones just cause false spikes all the time so that’s no good for me.

if I don’t conceive this cycle I think I might give temping a go! Can’t hurt to try and I’d be really interested in getting an insight to what my body is actually doing because sometimes anyone’s guess is as good as mine 😅😂

fingers crossed for Sunday for you !! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@thismonthsfad im definitely going to try but odds are I’ll cave earlier 😂

im feeling hopeful for us all this cycle ☺️

not my first rodeo I was luckily blessed with 2 children ! I had a miscarriage then conceived first child on cycle 1 ( nothing short of a miracle due to how out of control my pcos was back then ) then conceived 2nd on cycle 4 ( I did have an 83 day cycle on one of those 4 though 😅) 6&4 yo 😊

this is my 2nd cycle ttc with third and final! What about you guys ?

Edited

Oh wow what a journey! I can’t believe you had an 84 day cycle! But you’ve got two beautiful babies, number 3 will be coming in 2026 🤩. I’m feeling super hopeful for us too 😃
This is our first time TTC, cycle 3 now but I’m learning so much from tracking my cycle-this is the first cycle we’ve DTD on actual O day. I didn’t quite know my O day the last 2 cycles. I really can’t get on with the LH strips but I’ve found temping really useful.
Roll on Sunday lol 🤣

@thismonthsfad ill be 14dpo next Friday but knowing my absolute abysmal lack of patience when it comes to the Tww I’ll be surprised if I hold out 🫣 I’ll try my absolute best to wait till next Friday 😂

hey it only takes once sometimes ! You’re not out till AF shows !

🤣🤣 waiting until 14DPO is hardcore lol I will have soo much respect for you if you wait that long! If I make it to 11DPO, I’ll be happy but I reckon I will cave at 9DPO although I know that it’s so pointless testing that early!

We got this though!! I’ve got everything crossed for us all.

Is this your first time TTC?

I’m jealous you’ve found something to watch that’s enough to be a distraction @thismonthsfad . I’ve just finished watching downtown abbey and now I’m a bit lost, can’t quite find something to really hook me. Recommendations welcome - unfortunately couldn’t really get into Greys eeekkk.

I felt bad for my DH as we literally went at it back to back all last week until he tried to get some yesterday. Honestly he’s insatiable 😳 I cannot go anymore please…!

I think I may test like next Thursday or Friday. Absolutely ages away….How about you guys? @thismonthsfad think you’re prob first in line right? Rooting for you whoop whoop

ooooh I totally recommend Supernatural - it's my favourite binge watch of them all lol..

@Chikas @Biscuitbaby2218 wooop thank you!! I was thinking of testing on Sunday 11DPO which feels quite early, AF is due next Weds, if I don't test on Sunday, it'll definitely be on Monday. Will you be 14DPO by next Thursday?

I only DTD once this cycle which was on O day.. I am convinced that this cycle isn't the cycle because of that but I am still in until AF arrives I guess 😆

Hey !! I’m currently 3dpo (give or take) my cycles ( when they’re behaving) average around 32 days and im currently on CD 21. Im watching the hours go by each day already 😅 it’s the not knowing I can’t stand ! Wish we could test the day after ovulation and know if it’s a yes or no so we don’t have to spend 2 weeks in limbo 🫣

ooh we're within days of each other! I am trying to keep myself busy with work and exercise - and I started binge watching Greys Anatomy. The distraction is working lol
