@Jessikka I'm doing the same for cycle 4 when af arrives tomorrow! Have a lovely 2 weeks off x

granddesigns · 12/04/2019 08:03

Haven't given up on here but trying to be calmer about ttc this month. Followed SMEP and now 9dpo. Random twinges and breast soreness on and off but trying not to symptom spot too much. Hoping it might pay off but don't dare hope for too much. Time off next week too which will be good either way. Good luck to all those waiting, testing and hoping!

starkid · 12/04/2019 10:27

I'm trying to be chill this cycle too. Not entirely certain when I ovulated, think I had a positive one of the days and the next day was faint, but who knows. Am not going to look to see when my app says AF is due, it can be a surprise 😜 just dtd whenever we fancy too. I have taken up putting my legs up again the headboard afterwards for 10 mins though, for a bit of help from gravity 😂

@Lottiepink - fx it isn't! xx
@Jessikka - have a lovely break!! Smile

Hannah192 · 12/04/2019 12:00

Hi all! I’ve been a bit absent since the last cycle so just reading through to catch up 😊
I’m currently CD14. We’ve been dtd since CD8 and been doing OPKs since CD10 but yet to get a positive. I’m expecting the positive on Sunday.
Trying to be a bit more relaxed this cycle (yeah right) and not getting my hopes up as much as I did last cycle. Since AF arrived I’ve had a friend find out she is pregnant by accident (!!) and SIL announce she’s pregnant! So would be lovely to join them. Does feel like it’ll never happen at the moment 😫
Fx for you all this cycle x

starkid · 12/04/2019 12:07

@Hannah192 - aw poor you, yes it would be great to be pregnant within a similar time to them both, especially so they'd have a cousin close in age! :)

OP posts:
Hannah192 · 12/04/2019 13:29

@starkid yeah exactly! It would be really nice. It’s good that you are taking a more relaxed approach this cycle. I’m with you though in putting my legs against the headboard 😂😂 can’t hurt to try!

Lemurville · 12/04/2019 16:52

Hi all,
Just wondering if I could join you as I was on another thread but they have all gone off to Facebook group which I’m not on (Facebook). Key facts-
Age 32
TTC #1
Cycle 5 but will be first with tracking ovulation, partly because Feb and march for some unknown reason I did not have a period at all but not am I pregnant. No health conditions as far as I know and don’t usually miss/have irregular periods at all since I started at age 13, apart from Oct and Nov ‘18. Had a stint on the pill for a few months but been on condoms only for last year or more. This month af has lasted at least as long as normal but lighter especially at the start. Now on d7 so hoping cycles back to normal now! wishing lots of 💖, luck and baby sprinkles to you all xxx

starkid · 12/04/2019 16:55

Welcome @Lemurville ! I'll add you, will be posting an updated list soon anyway :)

Jessikka · 12/04/2019 18:04

Hello everyone and welcome to the new ladies 👋🏻

Sorry to kickstart with some TMI but after deciding this month to forgo temping and OPKs ... I have FINALLY created some EWCM. I'm over the moon. My hormones must finally be settling down after the pill. I can't stop smiling!

I literally ran to OH and ordered him upstairs 🙄😂

For the last few cycles I've ovulated on cd12 and at the moment I'm on Cd10 so could this be my body finally starting to play ball??!

Ommgggggg I'm so happy.

Ok, calm down woman.

cherryblossomgin · 12/04/2019 18:17

Tested today for my HSG scan and not pregnant but luckily my tubes aren't blocked and the dye went through fine. One was a bit slow but that's the side I have a couple of cysts on. Is it normal to feel a bit sick and sore after? It might be the antibiotics they gave me as I didn't eat before it as I was in a rush. I also forgot to take pain medication. Next step is the ovulation specialist. Hope that isn't as painful Blush

ValidUser · 12/04/2019 18:45

Squint with me!

I see a line but it may be an indent. Still early - about 9 dpo.

Now that I don't need an egg donor I can afford this. 😂

starkid · 12/04/2019 18:57

@ValidUser - sorry I can't see anything, maybe Sunday will be clearer?
@cherryblossomgin - good news that your tubes aren't blocked, sucks it's an unpleasant procedure though :(

OP posts:
Jessikka · 12/04/2019 19:02

Sorry @ValidUser I can't see anything just yet! FX it gets stronger tomorrow 🤞

ValidUser · 12/04/2019 19:32

See, I could be totally wrong and I've been wrong before, but I have a good gut feeling about this cycle. That said, I'd also love 3 glasses of wine and am torn!

ValidUser · 12/04/2019 19:34

@cherryblossomgin so glad your tubes are good!

Thanks for squinting with me, people!

MrsR16 · 12/04/2019 21:29

Omg FRERs are on offer on Amazon! £5.78 for a pack of 2! Get going ladies!!

@ValidUser I can't see anything either lovely! Got everything crossed for you!

MrsEG · 12/04/2019 22:14

Hello lovely ladies.
I see some familiar names here and lots of new ones I don’t recognise!
After my BFP at Christmas I had a MMC, and a D&C at 10 weeks.
It’s been the worst start to the year ever, and me and DH decided to just spend a few months forgetting all about TTC and pregnancy, and even though I had one AF since the D&C, this current cycle seems to be all over the place!
I’m feeling a lot better now, and even treated myself to an Ava bracelet, so once my next AF finally rocks up I can try and get back in tune with my uterus! So you may see me posting back here again :)
Hoping to celebrate lots of BFPs with you lovely ladies very soon.

KatBeCool · 13/04/2019 01:25

@MrsEG oh no, I'm so sorry. I'm glad to see you're doing better and ready for a fresh start. My AF is certainly rocking me at the moment. How soon are you expecting yours?

Lola871 · 13/04/2019 06:37

Sorry to hear that @MesEG, hope things get back to normal for you soon!

I've just started fertile week I think, according to my app, time to get on with it 😂

MrsEG · 13/04/2019 07:55

@KatBeCool Well based on my precious 28 day cycles I was expecting AF on Weds, but I’ve been warned that post-D&C it can take a few months for a normal cycle to settle again. I have all my normal pre-AF symptoms so really hoping she shows up this weekend - I’ve never wanted AF quite so badly! Sorry to hear you’ve got yours at the moment; at least you’re that bit closer to your fertile week :)

MrsEG · 13/04/2019 07:56

@KatBeCool *previous, not precious! I’m not that proud of my cycles haha!

starkid · 13/04/2019 08:19

@MrsR16 - hmm now I've already got 4 FRER's plus a others plethora of other tests... Am still tempted though 😂

@MrsEG - oh I'm so sorry to hear that ☹️ good idea your husband and you decidng to try and forget about TTC for a while. We'll be here once you're ready (and body is ready) to join again 😊 xx

Fivebyfive2 · 13/04/2019 08:55

@MrsEG I'm so sorry xxx Glad you guys took a break after, it really helps I think. I had my d&c in March and af arrived last weekend, so this is our first round of ttc after the miscarriage. God knows what it will be like, dh has said he is preparing for craziness!! I really hope af arrives for you soon so you know where you are. Hopefully if you're having the signs it means she's getting here as fast as she can?! Xxx

daisiesandpeonies · 13/04/2019 09:42

@MrsEG so sorry about your MC - welcome back
