I’m having a a go at unnecessary positive thinking....this IS my month

Cycle 12 for us, three chemical pregnancies in this time. I have PCO but not PCOS.

The only thing we haven’t tried is not trying anything....so that’s what this month is. No apps, no OPK’s, no temping, no plans, no diet restrictions, no beating myself up if we ‘miss the window’. All I will know is what cycle day I’m on and roughly how many DPO because I can’t be blind to fertile CM. This month, I also am going to not test early because I’ve realised squinting at pregnancy tests so hard you get a headache probably means you should wait a while/there’s nothing there. This whole ttc thing has battered me physically and mentally. Next month, we visit the GP for more tests so I figured there’s nothing to lose by chilling the fuck out before it all gets serious.

Is anyone with me? Today is CD 8 I believe. I could do with some handholding and company!

Im with you! Cycle 11 for us and never even a sniff of a line! No opks no temping no certain types of food etc. I know my cycle day and that's it. I think I might be 10dpo today if I ovulated as similar time to last month! AF due on Monday...we shall see!! Fingers crossed for us both

I'm attempting a similar approach! I'm on cycle 10 here since a MMC last Dec at 11 weeks and have not had any luck since. All the temping and OPKs have made me somewhat (read: very) obsessive so after advice from my doctor, I've ditched the tests and thermometer and I'm trying not to plan too much which is easier said than done! I think I'm CD 8 or 9 today and this was the month a year ago we got a BFP so it's kind of putting higher expectations into this month Hmm Fingers crossed for all of us.

I’m crossing all of the fingers! Im also trying my very hardest not to feel bitter when I see lots of people pop up with pregnancy announcements - I’m usually okay with them but the ones which brag about how unplanned they were are like tiny daggers.

I was trying to do this. Cycle 10 with not even a hint of a pregnancy whatsoever but decided to be positive and tell myself it WILL happen this month. I genuinely felt like we’d finally done it. Af didn’t show up this morning so of course I started to get excited. But of course, bit of spotting tonight when I wiped and it’s all come crumbling down again. I hope this is it for you though, good luck!!

Good luck!!! I have PCOS so it's all blind for me!
