@TtcIAm i did hangs head in shame lol . And it was the most negative ever. So just a late AF I think. Good luck with your temping and opks! Fingers crossed for a Xmas miracle 😀

LaurenAnn1991 · 10/12/2018 21:02

AF is 12 days late & still BFN. Was not actively TTC but getting these -ves I'm devastated, so would like to hop on the bus x

Gri80 · 10/12/2018 21:06

Here is me with my newbie ignorance as well....i just wondered...keeping in mind i was 26 last time i had a child...gosh seems ages ago....would i need some kind of genetic tests because we are 38/58???
Its just that you lot seem a bit more clued up with pregnancy...feeling such a dinosaur today :(

emcrave · 11/12/2018 12:40

Hi all! Can I hop into the bus please!

TTC no#2
Cycle 3
CD5

Baby no#1 was a big suprise so never used apps or OPK’s, what does everyone recommend, taking it easy and hoping for the best or to track?

TtcIAm · 11/12/2018 13:09

I'm wishing away this period, I should be good to start on thursday. I have 4 children but they are 15, 12, 8 and 6. I'm so much older now it feels so different.

MrsP4 · 11/12/2018 21:56

@TtcIAm we're very close together I'm on CD10 and trying SMEP this cycle! Best of luck to you! Xx

TtcIAm · 11/12/2018 22:38

@MrsP4 i've tried it before i knew i had pcos but i've had two periods now and i'm on metformin so i'm a little bit more optimistic this month

Can I jump on this bus? Pretty sure that's me out this month as I've had pink/ brown spotting today - it's early but I'm sure it's AF and not implantation bleeding 

Anyway I'm 29, TTC no.1. Fx for everyone!

EllyNC291 · 11/12/2018 23:09

I’m hopping on too!
TTC #1
Cycle 2
AF due NYD!

Sending you all lots of luck!

xLauraa · 12/12/2018 00:05

Joining here because I'm sure AF will turn up in the next few days, I've had sore boobs for over a week and my cervix is not showing any signs of me being in early pregnancy so 🤷🏼‍♀️

TTC #1
Cycle #15 😞
Age 25

Sending lots of love and baby dust to everyone💗 hope 2019 is the year!!

xLauraa · 12/12/2018 00:06

@LylaBee I had spotting on CD25! I had it on day 25 a few cycles ago too, it's very strange! Not got any hope of it being IB tho 😞

Needadoughnut · 12/12/2018 07:15

AF arrived today, so CD1 for me. This is cycle#6 for us. Expected to ovulate on Christmas Eve. 13day LP.
DP has decided he doesn't want to know when I ovulate as it puts pressure on him (not that I pressure him he does that to himself!)
I won't test early as it almost gave me a breakdown this month so trying to take it easy from now on..

emcrave · 12/12/2018 08:49

@Needadoughnut Ive decided to try not test early this month too and just wait for AF to arrive/hopefully not arrive. Although if I did I could test new years eve which would be nice going into the new year but also could have the opposite effect. Will just have to see how Im feeling nearer the time!

MrsLBear · 12/12/2018 10:27

@Needadoughnut my DH said the same to me. He said that the pressure has got to him way too much and doesn't want to know either but now I feel like I'm going through it completely alone and as much as I want to support him I'm struggling because I selfishly think what about me. I feel the pressure too but I get on with it and deal with it. He even said he's got erectile dysfunction- he does not it's just cos he's got it all worked up in his head even though I feel like I gave him the option to go for it or not and also I barely said we have to DTD tonight it happened naturally for the most part.
Sorry for the rant.

Btw. Hi every one!! 👋🏼 think I'm jumping on this bus as due to the above we COMPLETELY skipped any sort of fertile window that I might have had.

Needadoughnut · 12/12/2018 10:33

So we're more ore less in the same boat the three of us :)

DP says we have a healthy sex life anyways, so why bother trying to figure it out?? He most likely has a point. We definitely do it in my FW in fact when we had our chemical I was sure I missed it so... (Maybe you're lucky Bear! )

I don't know Ill try to relax and just love each other. We both want this baby but it does become hard not to just focus on it.

emcrave · 12/12/2018 10:55

I think I’m going to try take a more relaxed approach, its only our 3rd cycle but its hard not to overthink everything!

Ive just downloaded the Ovia app so I have a rough idea where were at but other than that just see what happens!

Needadoughnut · 12/12/2018 10:57

@emcrave ovia is good but it keeps telling you might be pregnant when you're not!

For simplicity I always recommend clue

emcrave · 12/12/2018 10:59

@Needadoughnut oh Ill have a look at that one, thanks!

Jess123s · 12/12/2018 17:24

@Needadoughnut it’s CD 1 for me too! I’ve been tracking on Flo these past couple of months, not sure I rate it..it got my ovulation completely wrong last month so not really sure how long LP is.. Flo has me ovulating on the 29th. We are away that weekend so could be perfect timing!

hopingforbabydust · 12/12/2018 17:44

Can I hop on too? :)
TTC #1
Cycle 1
Age 26

Fast becoming obsessed with ovulation, fertile weeks and baby making... need someone to talk to other than my husband whose only response is to tell me to stop overthinking Grin

thosethreewords · 12/12/2018 18:18

I'm now CD1 after mirena removal... it's changed my cycle! So probably ovulating around ish 29th (same as you @Jess123s) but just read about SMEP so going to give that a go to try and work out when I might ovulate.

bea179 · 12/12/2018 20:52

My DP has essentially said the same, because I've downloaded flo and Ovia, he says I'm putting pressure on it and because I've been on contraception so long he won't be concerned if we don't conceive for around a year.
I on the other hand am literally counting down the days since I came off the mini pill (3 weeks ago), desperately wishing for AF to arrive to try and work out whether I'm ovulating.
Trying not to stress but it's hard, and I'm not the most patient Grin

thosethreewords · 13/12/2018 11:33

It's difficult coming off contraception and knowing what your cycle is doing! I'm trying not to worry too much but I don't know if this is a new cycle or not. I'm bleeding but not much... I've forgotten what a period is like!!
Also on the mirena I'm sure I still ovulated (as is common with IUD) and had premenstrual symptoms but I didn't get it this time. Who knows!

Needadoughnut · 13/12/2018 11:49

Exactly!! I don't know how to relax / not overhink it!
