2nd month of proper ttc, AF next due on 15th Feb
fingers crossed for bfps all round this month.

Baba11 · 26/01/2019 23:16

@birdhaswings this will be my 4th month. My first month was the worst because I had convinced myself I was and af came late. I thought I knew my own body but I clearly don't. Last month I never got a static and dtd every other day from cd17. now I'm worrying thinking maybe there is something wrong with me!? ConfusedSad
I temp too but my temps fluctuate so much I'm sure I'm doing it wrong. I'm using clear blue opks this month again but will start testing early.
It's been a crazy 4 months

Been cramping today and yesterday. Anyone get that before ovulation? Xx

Gilly2505 · 27/01/2019 02:37

I sometimes get cramping or pain around what I assume is ovulation. The body is such a weird and wonderful thing.

BLS1983 · 27/01/2019 09:18

@Gilly2505 that's what I assume it is. My body appears to be dropping back to 29 day cycles since last cycle so hoping to make it easier to pinpoint ovulation. My cycles have been so whacky xx

birdhaswings · 27/01/2019 09:21

Morning All,

@Baba11 I'm with you!! Do you get pains, cramping, twinges in your tummy throughout the cycle? I do, that's why I was convinced (especially as AF was late) that I would get BFP. I'm 38 soon and starting to be anxious Confused I also read Luisa Zimmerman blog on conceiving, I take the vitamins she talks about

birdhaswings · 27/01/2019 09:22

@BLS1983 @Gilly2505 yes I get the OV pains, they can be quite intense at times - almost like a bad period pain?

Baba11 · 27/01/2019 09:38

@birdhaswings
I got a lot of twinges and pains first month along with other symptoms but clearly not what I thought they were. So now I don't take any notice.

@BLS1983 heard you can get ovulation pain so that's a good sign.

I didn't even realise you don't ovulate every month. It's crazy this journey

@birdhaswings how long have you been TTC? Is this the first month taking the vitamins Luisa recommends? I have seen these and how many success messages she has got so think I will give them a go. I'm now CD37 with my longest cycle being 31 days but still no BFP or AF. I had the tiniest bit (TMI) of light pink when I wiped yesterday so thought AF would be here this morning... Only a matter of time. I just want to reset and get trying again now!

Baba11 · 27/01/2019 10:20

@Kins00 hate it when your body plays tricks!

What vitamins are u lot talking about?

OP posts:
Kins00 · 27/01/2019 10:38

@Baba11 it is DHA and CoQ10 x

birdhaswings · 27/01/2019 11:29

Hi @Kins00 last month was the first month properly. I've been taking the vitamins for 2 months. There's been so many success stories from her blog which is amazing. I totally understand how you feel, welcome AF with open arms and reset the body. Have you always had longer cycles? I didn't used to notice but once you start ttc you seem to be hyper aware of everything that's going on

birdhaswings · 27/01/2019 11:30

@Baba11 I'm also taking folic acid

YoureAMeanOneMrGrinch · 27/01/2019 11:35

Good luck! I got my bfp on Valentine's Day 2017 when AF was due on the 13th! Was a lovely Valentines gift!

Baba11 · 27/01/2019 14:26

Thanks ladies. I take the pregnacare before conception tablets but will definitely look into these Smile

Syncope · 27/01/2019 18:37

Sorry AF turned up for you too @birdhaswings but like you said, at least know we can 'reset' and start again. My cycles are normally 32 days, but this cycle was 42! And the one before 36. No idea why they've gone wonky all of a sudden. What about you?

@Kins00 I hope you get a resolution soon, one way or another! Obviously hoping for a BFP for you but I know how I was feeling - I was happy once AF turned up that at least I knew what was going on.

I'm just starting cycle 5 of 'properly' TTC. Only taking pre-conception multivits. Up to now I've held off doing OPKs or temping in a bid to avoid getting too obsessed, but I was given a set of the CB digital OPKs last cycle and now I've started, I've got the bug. Grin I think I'll just try cheap ov strips this cycle though and see how I get on. Going to buy a BBT thermometer too and see if the two together give me some idea of what's going on. @Baba11 I hope you get a static this month - I never got one last month either but with hindsight maybe that was because my cycle was unexpectedly long, so I must have ovulated much later than I expected. I stopped testing on CD23 (because I'd run out of tests!) but presumably, given how long my cycle was, I didn't ov until around CD28-29.

Hello to everyone else joining the thread! Here's to lots of lovely Valentine's BFPs.

Queenofmyownheart · 27/01/2019 19:54

Joining 😊 AF due Valentine's Day. Hoping to give the OH a gift he'll never forget 😂 been trying for a while now. This month we got military. Dunno if he's sick of me yet but we still got the every other day to get through for the next week 😂😂

@Queenofmyownheart
Welcome
So was last week your fertile week? Mine is coming up next week and got a bad cold, so hoping I can shake it off

Gilly2505 · 27/01/2019 20:10

@Queenofmyownheart that made me chuckle! I’m sure he’s loving it really!

I’m hoping the next couple of weeks fly by!

payperview · 27/01/2019 21:22

Hello again! BFP/AF is due on the 16th. Really hoping it's going to happen this time! Good luck everyone.

Baba11 · 27/01/2019 22:06

Do any of you lovely ladies use pre seed? What are your thoughts on it?

Do you mind if I join?

Age: 41 Blush
TTC: #3
Cycle: 4 (of ‘properly’ ttc)
CD: 12

I think I’m going to ovulate any day. I have very irregular cycles and was expecting to ovulate around 7th Feb but looking at BBT (first month of doing them) and CM combined, it looks like it’ll happen in the next day or two. I’ve run out of OPKs so trying with just BBT and CM watching this month.
Good luck to all Flowers

Gilly2505 · 28/01/2019 19:48

Fingers crossed for you payperview 🤞 xx

Baba - I’ve not used it myself but have read many stories of it possibly helping!

Addicted - welcome lovely! Fingers crossed for you too🤞
