Here we are again! Some of us been here a while & finding it hard ttc our second, but we've been supporting each other and chatting since June, so let's carry on!

Can I make suggestion? To recap now, & to help us all keep up as thread gets long and new people join, how about we all put quick recap at end of each new message (or once a day if posting lots back and fwd as we do sometimes?!) (bit like email signature!) with the vital stats and anything else you want to add (like if IVF for example) so mine is:

DS age 3
Ttc#2 since Jan/Feb (early mc in Aug)
Af/bfp due Oct 12th

Might be a bit of a pain typing it each time but would help everyone know where we're coming from? Good luck all for another cycle, we can do it!

@mynameisjune funny you should say that, I've just ordered some.. really encouraging to hear it worked for you x

bunnieboo91 · 17/09/2017 20:15

Thanks impatient, hope no one goes through what I did.

Oh really! I've heard angry DTD is nice Grin you don't want to miss out because of an argument!

Cariad2017 · 17/09/2017 21:12

Bunnie - I'm really sorry to hear of your loss. Well done on taking the plunge to ttc again. I shall be keeping everything crossed that this is your month.

Impatient - oh no! I hope the two of you make up before the end of the evening (and in any event before your FW begins). If it's any consolation, my FW is about to commence imminently and DH has just retired to bed early with "man flu", so things are not looking overly promising at this end either...

Nubian9454 · 18/09/2017 19:11

Hi all you beautiful ladies. I know some of you from previous threads. Some of you might remember that I was in Limbo ..Unfortunately I'm on cd49 today 😣😥😢😢 and no af and bfn! Still feeling cramps and twinges. I'm soooo frustrated. Never have I ever ever been this late.

Anyway my stats

MynameisJune · 18/09/2017 20:23

nubian so sorry you're still in limbo, have you been to the GP? Surely at this point it warrants further investigation for you to get some answers.

Stee1 · 18/09/2017 21:03

Cariad2017 sorry haven't been on here no I had methotrexate numbers went down within 2 weeks as I wasn't very far gone. First cycle ovulated over the weekend so I'm officially 1dpo.

curliegirlie · 18/09/2017 21:55

I think I'm probably on this thread now since I finally got a +opk today on cd24!!! No idea what's happening this cycle. The 11 cycles I've had since dd have all been fairly regularish (just one random one at 36 days) so getting one that looks like it's set to be over 40 days is exceedingly dull. My stats...

1 dd (25 months)
Cycle 12 (ttc since September 2016, when af returned after my dd, ntnp since Dec 2015)
AF/BFP due 4th Oct

RhiBee29 · 19/09/2017 07:21

And so the dreaded TWW begins! Every cycle I swear not to symptom spot or POAS until af is late but it never happens.

Fingers crossed and baby dust to all x

curliegirlie · 19/09/2017 08:55

Is it even possible for a +opk to indicate pregnancy at 10dpo? It's not, is it? More likely I'm in for a 40 day cycle...

Impatientmummy36 · 19/09/2017 09:25

Ha, thanks all, we're fine though unfortunately not passionate make up scenario, more deep simmering long-drawn-out resentment here!!

Sure we'll be fine by the time it matters!... though he does have man flu now as well cariad - typical hey? As long as he's better in 2 days time when the marathon begins :)

Nubian so so frustrating love :(

Hope everyone's ok today

curlie yes it's possible for an opk to pick up hcg or at least that seems to be the consensus online. Maybe worth taking a hpt to make sure.

curliegirlie · 19/09/2017 18:06

Thanks June. I know opks can pick up hgc, I just didn't know how early. I did a hpt today which was snowy white so safe to assume it was lh the other test was picking up on and I just have a screwy cycle this month. I think cycle 12 has just unleashed a bit of craziness and undue hopes! I'll have to muster up the energy to jump on DH tonight then....

MynameisJune · 19/09/2017 18:29

Ah sorry Curlie, I really hope this is your month. I always seem to have a LH surge before af arrives so have been in the position of dark opk giving false hope many times.

ElephantAndBird · 19/09/2017 22:16

Well I'm pretty sure I've ovulated so I'm into the tww. I'm not sure that we dtd enough this month - dd has been teething so we haven't had that much opportunity! Oh well. I'd forgotten what a headfuck this all is. I'll spend the next two weeks agonising and then it starts all over again. I bloody hated ttc last time and I can't say I feel more positive about it this time.

I haven't got any tests in the house so won't be testing unless I'm late!

@ElephantAndBird right here in the TWW, I've got a cupboard full of tests so i need the willpower to not test early! I don't think we dtd at the right time, think I ovulated early Confused

Beansprout30 · 20/09/2017 21:35

Twiddling thumbs here waiting for fw. It's so tricky with toddler and husband that works away, luckily it's driving distance so he's going to have to pop back for a midweek quickie next week after dd has gone to bed!

PinkBeetroot · 21/09/2017 07:24

@curliegirlie last time I was pregnant, OPK did pick up HCG, but not until a few days after my missed period. FRER was positive well before missed period.

I'm only on cycle one and I'm already obsessing! I need to calm down Grin

I'm in my second cycle and you do get obsessed rosella, last time I got a bfp I dtd every other day but this time i'm dtd every day in my fertile window JUST INCASE!

Ive taken the romance out of it and forcing DH to dtd and don't know if i feel bad about it or glad we're finally trying again.

Welcome newbies! Hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend.

elles there are a few if us here that are long term TTC. A couple of us are undergoing tests so feel free to ask questions. I would definitely suggest speaking to your GP first.

Had a positive OPK last Sunday so I'm in the tww and the wait to see if I have a job or not!

I'm sorry for your loss bunnieboo90. I feel so insensitive to others complaining about how long things can take when others go through so much. TTC makes me crazy! It's all I can think about.
