Laboquick ovulation year - see pic

[Sunflower2019]

I know this is very likely a negative result but it’s a little darker than a few days ago so am I likely to ovulate soon???

@eastview my mums welsh ! She’s moving to wales in December ! Taking early retirement from teaching , moving there with my grandparents and dad. So exciting !

Yeah that’s a bit too early , try and hold off we can test together ! X

Hi girls how are you both?

So I’m just waiting for the end of AF which will be tomorrow. I just looked on my ovulation app and it says that my fertile period is in a few days so at least I don’t have to wait too long.

I’m thinking of trying to do the deed a little less I have some cheap ovulation sticks and also clear blue which I’m going to try out if they get dark.

I’ve just got back from work so going to have a really chilled night tonight. I’ve been really stressed recently which I think may be down to one of the reasons I haven’t been conceiving.

Have either of you thought about testing any time soon? We need to BFP on here xxx

@eastview @Itsemily

That sounds like a plan @Sunflower2019 ! I think I bought 30 of the cheapies on amazon for like £4! So it's not so bad doing them everyday then! This is the month I can feel it 🤞 it's so stressful isn't it! I hope you're okay!

When are you going to start testing @Itsemily? I'm thinking beginning of the week maybe!

Xx

I’m suffering from awful sore breasts today !! Never had this! I have had sore nipples recently but this evening my boobs are killing me !

Afternoon,

Hope you are both well! Symptoms are good.. although I seem to have them every month 😂
I’m on the last day of af then in two days I’m into my fertile window 🤞 that’s gone so quickly! Gonna up the vitamins... try lay off the caffeine as much and less alcohol!

Just isn’t easy is it... as I’ve not had any tests and maybe my fertility isn’t as good as it use to be.. just feel silly ringing the drs xxx

@eastview @Itsemily had a dream last night I got my BFP... would be so weird if I actually did this month

@Sunflower2019 fingers crossed !
My AF has arrived a little early so I’m out this month. But I have a feeling next month will be better X

@itsemily sorry to hear that, I’m now waiting for my fertile period... still got a few days! Want this so bad this month, now on cycle 4 I think, Maybe 5 🤦🏽‍♀️

How long does your af last for?

@eastview any luck for you? X

@sunflower2019 my husband and I have said we have a feeling we might get on top of it this month now we know my period is back properly . The coil got me out of sync a bit I think . It’s usually only about 5 days . Heavy for two (well it was when I was a teen. Not had a period in like 3 years because of the coil, and 3 years before than because of the pill) then two days of light bleeding and one of spotting . Fingers crossed for us !

@eastview how you doing ?

@itsemily well apparently I’m cd6 today then have tomorrow then officially in my fertile window at cd8.. I’m trying not to stress tho as I know that doesn’t help.. just hard as I hate getting af, makes me worry every time something’s up!

I was glad I had my af after pill withdrawal as it body was getting back to normal but now it’s getting boring 😂

Told dp we need to dtd less but I don’t want him to think it’s all about babies too!!!

Wondering if my age has anything to do with it or it’s me worrying... xx

@sunflower2019 oh wait sorry I thought you meant how many cycles have we been trying . I got confused sorry . I’m not good with all the technical talk . All I know is I’m back to cycle day one of my period . So it’ll be cycle two of TTC.

How old are you again ? I’m 25. I’m sure DH will understand x

I’m 32, I’m lucky I have a dd from a previous relationship, which took me all of 2 weeks to fall pregnant 🤦🏽‍♀️ Think the longer I leave it the harder it will get!
Yes he’s fine really, doesn’t understand all of this tho! Xx

@Itsemily

Sorry what did I miss? Haha! Sorry to hear AF is here @Itsemily :( having cramps the past few days so not sure what that is about. I have some cheap tests here I might do one now as I'm off work today...although probably still too early to use those right 🤦‍♀️

AF is all over the place since my MC so no clue what's happening to my body. Why does it have to be so difficult!?

Hoping for some luck on this thread today! X

I am really suffering today , the bleeding is ridiculous !! Hoping it ends by Friday and then we can start DTD and hopefully get some positive results by November eh !

@eastview definitely test!!!!!! I’m excited for you! You seem so positive 🤞

@Itsemily mine was like that, now waiting for my opks to become positive... I like this but in a way tho!!

Come on girls we’ve got this xx

Completely negative as expected...proper getting me down now 👎

@sunflower I’m not sure how to manage this bleeding I’m absolutely beside myself 😂😂 DH just gone out to get my some ice cream bless him !

@eastview so sorry, hopefully next month ! We’ve got this 💕💕

@eastview you still have time don’t you! Only early days! 💕

@Itsemily seems to be heavier when you come off contraception.. ice cream sounds perfect 😍

I’m having pizza and chicken wings and watching loads of rubbish tv!

Xxx

Just read this whole post and feel like it could have been me that wrote it 😂
Hope you don’t mind me jumping on. I came off the pill in August TTC first baby. It’s literally driving me insane. 🙃

How are you ladies doing? Xx

@LazyDogFox welcome of course not the more the merrier!

It’s been mad, thought it would be easier than this, we definitely need some luck on this thread 😂

I think it must take a while for pill to get out of our systems, although I must say a couple of years ago I fell pregnant and unfortunately it didn’t go any further but I fell pregnant the first month after coming off the pill - this is the first time I’ve ever disclosed that 😭 I must be opening up!!!

Good luck to you! Are you using opks? Xx

Hi @Sunflower2019
Thank you! I’m generally quite overwhelmed by all of the information about conceiving. Temperatures, cervical mucus, OPKs... it’s all so daunting!
I haven’t used them so far but have bought some ready for my next cycle I mostly just want to know I’m definitely ovulating! Do you use them? Have you found they help at all?

I’ve been quite lucky since coming off the pill my periods have been quite regular with a shortish cycle (27 days). So that’s all I’m clinging to at the minute, at least I’m regular!

I just feel a bit daft and naive because I didn’t realise how hard it was trying to conceive. It’s emotionally draining and I’m only on cycle 3! Hats off to those trying for longer! x

@LazyDogFox yes I know!

Just started using this clear blue thing and it’s already confusing me, not sure I like it! Because when I do cheap opks they come up with gradually darkened lines and this just has nothing.. so I’ve done both today and apparently I’m not in my fertile window although my cheap opk has two darkish lines but not quite positive 🙄😫

Oh well.. just gonna relax and try not think too much about it all.. driving me crazy 🤦🏽‍♀️

How is everyone else?? @eastview @Itsemily

Xx

@LazyDogFox I was like that too when I jumped on here ! I read the whole lot thinking it could’ve been me from the start lol ! We need some luck here .

I feel the same, I felt naive when I realised how much goes into it . I wonder how our parents our grand parents managed 😂😂
I used OPK’s cycle one , going into cycle two now . AF much lighter today so I’m going to start testing ovulation in about two days . I find clear blue much easier than the strips . But I’ll let you know this month - I might change my mind depending on which way it goes .

@sunflower2019 thank you for sharing something so personal 💕💕
