looking for nutty fun loving ttcers to share tips!

[thisisouryrfx18]

Wanted to start a thread for slightly bonkers ttcers who can laugh at themselves & boost one anothers moral😉 shy posters scared to talk about the nitty gritty shagging at all hrs and discussing cm in detail need not reply!😜

Thank you everyone for the positive thoughts, you’re all lovely ladies and I really hope you get your BFPs soon xx
@Owlpatrol symptom wise my boobs got sore at the normal time, but didn’t ease up as they normally do before AF, and I woke up at 4am yesterday (11dpo) absolutely starving! No creamy cm as I normally get after Ov either, a bit like EWCM but hardly any of it.

@Rach0110 I usually test from 8dpo but I only got my bfp at 10dpo
@Hopefulalways hope you're ok.
@Tefiti2 massive congrats!!

@Tefiti2 so excited for you!! I'm gonna hold off testing I think because I don't want to get my hopes up.
Thanks @Cakelaur, I think I'm going to try and hold off in that case or just going to drive myself crazy!

Rach0110 it's just a waste of money. No one on here will judge if you test early though. Haha. I've tested plenty of time way too early because I convince myself I must have implanted early as I have loads of "symptoms". Always come back BFN.
With #1 I did get a BFP 10dpo though which was as clear as day

Thanks @TwittleBee . I've been temp charting and it's not filling me with confidence as in my luteal phase the temps have been a bit all over the place... I had three in a row that were similar after a pos ovulation test, but after that they have been a bit up and down (although never as low as prior to ovulation)... I'm still new to it all so not sure if that's really normal but going to stick it out and wait on your guys advice, don't want to waste it just to be disappointed anyway!
Wishing all of u best of luck this cycle x

Rach0110 I'm still new to charting too but I think the general consensus is as long as you don't see a fall in temp 2 days in a row and/or there is no general decline in temp then there is hope! FX

Love a good bbt chart!! Feel free to share if you like.
I've attached mine. 4 more days of DTD and we're well into TWW!! 😃

@TwittleBee I think I have had a slight general decline  but to be honest I haven't been great with remembering to do it every day recently. @Cakelaur I haven't got theat fertility friend thing, is it an app? I'm just using flo at the moment but will try and upload a screenshot...

Here it is (hopefully as never posted a pic)
I worried last month as spotted from around CD 19 all the way up until AF. No spotting as of yet though and pretty sure I ovulated CD12 A's has pos opk and temp higher three days in a row after that - flo seems to think I did on CD13 though?!
But as you can see temperature has been a bit crazy ever since... although never back down to as low as before but I'm not sure what the margins are?!

I will let Cakelaur interpret it Rach0110 as I am still super new to this.

I use Flo and Fertility Friend (its a free app although you have to pay to access to VIP stuff but you don't have to if you can pick our brains for further information, which is what I do regardless of having paid for VIP too haha!). I recommend Fertility Friend (FF) over Flo, although Flo looks great and I have kept using it alongside FF, I have found that FF seems to interpret my data ready for next cycle better than what Flo does and pinpoint ovulation better than what Flo does too.

Ah ok @TwittleBee I might give that a go then! To be honest I'm just glad I seem to have ovulated this month, even if AF arrives at least I'm not spotting as early as last month, was/am worried I might have a bit of a progesterone problem.

Going to try SMEP and grapefruit juice next month and might give fertility friend a go too... in fact will download now to procrastinate at work!

fertility friend thinks I am fluctuating more than is normal... will try and keep monitoring this at a usual time ...

Really? Seems more stable than mine haha. Mine says I fluctuate "more than normal" but still in the limits of "ok" when i go into the detailed interpretation section

here is my one from last cycle for comparison

Congrats @Tefiti2 soo xciting! 👶💜hi@cakelaur ur a charting pro lol my af lasted 8days this month finally fot it was done went to the loo this morning and I was bleeding again fuck my ovaries! 😠 Neway u got ur puppy yet?

Thanks @TwittleBee it seems like if I discard the one massive outlier it thinks is fine so I'm not going to worry too much! @thisisouryrfx18 haha I know that feeling!

Hi everyone, I've missed posting for the last day or so (clearly addicted) but yesterday was such an awful hangover I'm actually really pleased to be off the sauce now for at least 3 weeks. Temping kit arrived this morning so I'm going to get downloading apps tonight and be ready to go with my first temp tomorrow morning!
@TwittleBee I'm so sorry to read about your AF. The only silver lining to af is knowing you have to DTD all the time again soon!

GoldilocksTheGraceless good luck with the temping! Hope you find it useful. Struggle to get time in DTD with DS about though! Especially when I wanna be asleep by 10pm for my 5am starts haha.

@TwittleBee I think anyone ttc with other little ones is an absolute hero. I think ttc #1 is hard enough!!!

Also I thought you all might like this observation... hanging around with my legs in the air after DTD it dawned on me how flippin impractical it is to have a memory foam mattress. Don't get me wrong, so pleased to sleep on it after years of rented mattresses that resembled a pile of wooden haystacks but my word it's not great for getting that pelvis up!!

Night all 😂

@Rach0110 try ff. you can do a free version or pay £25ish and it tells you when to have sex and it predicts Ov and analyses the temps. As long as temps are above cover line you're ok. Your cover line is about 36.38 I'd say you ovulated the day before it's marked. Temp shift confirms ovulation has happened.
Don't worry about fluctuations too much. You'll see a general rise or a general fall. So many factors can alter your temps. Time, mouth open, heating on, sick, sleep.

@thisisouryrfx18 I get my boy in 17 days!!! We went to visit him at the weekend again! 😍
bloody AF!! What a nightmare! Hopefully it'll end soon.

GoldilocksTheGraceless haha yeah not the most practical mattresses are they?

Day 3 of AF and it's super light. Was really light yesterday too. Have a feeling today might even be the last day!

@cakelaur thanks, I'm going to try that! Had a bit of spotting yesterday and today, trying not to be too disappointed. Hope you all get your BFPs this month!

Thanks for well wishes!

😂😂 @GoldilocksTheGraceless

I have my fingers crossed for you all! Sprinkling all the baby dust!

I am home now, treated for a uti which means none pregnancy safe antibiotics, they said the best at their job and I'm not in a position to take risks with my kidney 😔

They also found a couple of hemangiomas in my liver which can apparently grow during pregnancy. With that and my husbands health and poor motility I'm feeling like conception itself would be a miracle and then pregnancy would be a minefield of risk factors 😔

I need chocolate. Xx

Agh @Hopefulalways 🍫🍫🍫🍫 sugary thoughts coming your way! Hope you feel much better very soon xx

Hopefulalways oh bless you! You really aren't having any bloody luck are you! Hopefully all will be okay though when you get pregnant (which I hope is the first cycle after your antibiotics!) FX!

So my period has ended today, cycle day 3. Never happened before. Does anyone know if this means the whole cycle will get bought forward?
