Thanks for the tag! I'm on cycle 2, no idea how many dpo because it wasn't obvious. Going to buy a clear blue fertility monitor if AF shows up! Hope everyone is feeling more positive than I am!

orangeloo · 27/02/2019 20:19

@EssJayyCee time will tell. Fingers crossed.

@Sleepyquest ah this is a tough game but this could be your month. Keep your chin up and 🤞🏼.

Just waiting for AF, I all but know she's round the corner yet my body has still been cruel and made me feel a bit nauseous all day so obviously had moments of getting my hopes up. Just want to move on now I feel so periody already and had my usual pre AF spotting and FRER BFN at 10DPO. Now 12 DPO.

Lottiepink · 27/02/2019 20:36

Hi, thank you everyone.
I am 29 years old, currently on month 11 ttc,
Tracking bbt and on cd19 today.
My ov looks like it was yesterday, tbc with temp tomorrow I think.
Trying the smep this cycle..
I usually do the ovulation tests and my cycle is usually 28 days sometimes 27/29 was 29 days this one.
Just not sure where we are going wrong 🙈🤣

OhMarnie · 27/02/2019 20:42

Oh heyyy guys! 👋 I've only just found this 😂 I didn't get the tag notification! Was feeling a bit lonely without you girls tbh!

Hannah192 · 27/02/2019 20:46

Hi all. Thank you for starting a new thread!
AF is now 2 days late. I’ve had no symptoms either way. I took a test yesterday and got a BFN, however I did it in the evening and had probably been to the loo like half hour before hand.. Got a bit excited and didn’t think about the time of day 😂
Do you think that is accurate? I have another test which I’m thinking about doing first thing tomorrow morning as I have read that is the most accurate time to do the test but I’m wondering if AF is just late and that may just be a waste of a test 🙄

orangeloo · 27/02/2019 20:50

@Hannah192 personally if that were me and still no signs of AF I would re/test with FMU tomo or day after. But it's personal decision, some prefer to wait. X

BabySquid · 27/02/2019 20:52

@Lottiepink same as me, I'm also 29, on cycle 11, just started it I'm on cd2... I also don't know where we're going wrong and why it's taking so long!! I have fairly regular 32/33 day cycles, 14/15 day LP which I've confirmed with both bbt and opks. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
So already af's getting lighter, soz everyone for tmi (like that's even an issue anymore in this thread!) but I have quite large clots when af's here but in total af doesn't last very long. I have like a full day of 'normal' then light for a few days but still clotting. I'm going to mention all this to the dr on Friday.

Hannah192 · 27/02/2019 21:02

@orangeloo thank you for the advice. I think if AF doesn’t arrive tonight I’ll do another test in the morning. If that’s a BFN I’ll leave it until next week if no AF x

Lottiepink · 27/02/2019 21:07

Hi @babysquid
Sorry all new to this site only joined today so don’t really know how it works 🙈
I haven’t been to the doctors yet, as I was told to wait a year by friends...
I need to lose more weight which I am doing, not sure if that’s my problem why it’s currently not happened?! But other people don’t seem to have issues.
What has your doctor said, If you don’t mind me asking?
I was on the pill for 13 years, stopped and got into a routine quite quick really. Af usually lasts for me 4 days, first 2 are normally really bad and heavy (sorry tmi) when I was on the pill I would be light nut for around 7 days.
We dtd regular all through anyways so no issues there....
What app do you use for bbt? I’m on natural cycles x

KatBeCool · 27/02/2019 21:14

@PeacockingAbout it is making me quite irate and bitchy, plus a little dizzy here and there. It's prescribed orally, I tried it uhm... not orally lol (apparently that's how it's supposed to be anyway), to avoid the symptoms but during the day it doesn't stay in. So orally during the day it is, my poor DH has to deal with the worst of me no matter how hard I try to control it.

@BabySquid good luck with SI!

Bec18x · 27/02/2019 22:48

I’m ready to join the thread again! After a 123 day cycle AF finally arrived on Saturday so currently cycle day 5.
ttc since June 2018 so it’s my 9th month but only cycle number 4 and didn’t ovulate with any as far as I know. I’m currently on 1000mg of metformin a day since January and had a scan on Monday and my uterus looked healthy and I have pcos which I’ve known since I was 14. I think I will use bbt this month to see if I ovulate. I have an appointment in April with fertility. Has anyone got any advice to help ovulation?

LokiCat · 27/02/2019 22:53

Thank you @orangeloo xx

@PeacockingAbout I know, I expected to be waiting a little while! Thank you 😊
I like your idea, will try and hold off as long as possible!

Enjoy BD @DayDreamer1707!! Lots of luck to you for this cycle 💕

DH messaged me this morning whilst I was at work saying he dreamt I woke him up and told him I got a BFP 🙈 really hope that comes true!! CD 46 and 11dpo today...

KatBeCool · 27/02/2019 23:48

@Bec18x if you don't ovulate, you need something prescribed. Clomid has your name all over it. Have you seen a Dr?

BabySquid · 28/02/2019 05:36

@Lottiepink I haven't been to the drs yet, everyone says to go after one year but I'm thinking one month early won't make much difference. I haven't been tracking my bbt since around November but I use two apps, Flo and Glow.

Bec18x · 28/02/2019 05:52

@katbecool I have an appointment with the fertility consultant in april. I’m trying metformin at the moment as it can help people with pcos ovulate. But I’m hoping I’ll get clomid from him

Hannah192 · 28/02/2019 06:08

BFN this morning so I think AF is deffo on her way, just being lazy for a change.
I’m going to buy some ovulation kits for the next cycle.
Good luck to everyone this cycle 🤞🏼

BabySquid · 28/02/2019 06:52

@starkid what time of day do you take your SI's? I'm thinking with breaky but not sure if there's a better time?? Advice would be great.

Soda123x · 28/02/2019 07:05

Hi guys, Please can I also join.

Age - 32, TTC #1, Cycle 2, AF due 14th March but may come as early as 7th. (Was having 5 week cycles since coming off the pill but seem to be getting closer to 4 weeks now)
Had no symptoms but according to clue app ov date is either 21st Feb or today ??
Me and the husband have been DTD to cover all dates hahaha.
So I've no idea if I have 1 week or the TWW starts today depending on when AF due.
Not going to be tempted to POAS this time and just wait with fingers crossed and see what happens.
Good luck to all xx

aimingfor2019 · 28/02/2019 07:12

Can I join?

Cycle 3
Age 28
Current on day 26 of my cycle.

Couldn't pinpoint my ovulation this month, whereas i have been able to in other months. So just DTD every 2-3 days.
Flo is telling me my period is due tomorrow so did a FRER test which was negative.
Feeling a bit down, seems like all my friends got pregnant on their first cycle but just isn't happening for me 😞

starkid · 28/02/2019 07:22

@BabySquid I've done it both at breakfast and at lunch, don't know if it makes any difference when to be honest. Let me know how it goes for you, I'm starting tomorrow. When are you starting/what cycle days are you doing them on?

BabySquid · 28/02/2019 07:44

@starkid I'm cd3 today so going to start today for 5 days... unless dr tells me not to so I won't do tomorrow's till I've seen her.
Welcome @Soda123x and @aimingfor2019 it's a rough ol' journey but this thread has defo helped keep me sane.

Hannah192 · 28/02/2019 07:48

Welcome @soda123x @aimingfor2019
I know what you mean. I’m waiting for AF and then I will be starting cycle 3. I thought it would happen a lot quicker than this too as I’ve had friends and family get their BFP in the first month! It’ll happen when it’s suppose to 🤞🏼 Good luck

granddesigns · 28/02/2019 07:48

Hi all- sorry I only found this new thread this morning so just book marking! Af is here for this cycle so we are only cycle 4.... after a few months of very light af which had me worried it's a more normal flow this month - maybe that's a 'good' sign? Trying some alternative therapies tonight (don't know what exactly as the therapist will advise but maybe acupuncture). As want to keep doing something to feel I am helping the likelihood (already doing opks and his and hers pre conception vits).

Silly question but how (or do?) we update our stats on this thread...

Middlrm · 28/02/2019 07:48

Hi sorry being nosey/ had my first baby in November but primrose oil and folic acid is what I took ... the primrose is meant to help your mucus be more receptive down below to the tad pole.

Benolyn chesty cough medicine too ( once a day )

Worked a treat for me my cousin and my best mate anyhow so worth a go x x

aimingfor2019 · 28/02/2019 07:54

@BabySquid & @Hannah192
I just keep telling myself it's not me being unusual.
It's just that the only people who talk about how quickly they conceived without being asked, are the people who it happened to straight away.
Will be nice to have people in the same boat to talk to, especially when I'm an emotional mess in the week up to my period being due.
