Starting over in July

[Hayd88]

@Bezalelle @Carysmatic @Namechangeymcnamechange11 @Sunflower2019 shall we start over and go through the next couple of weeks together, along with whoever else would like to join?

Sounds like we are all TTC, some of us doing so after chemical pregnancies in June. All emotional and strained but looking forward to trying again??

No idea what my cycle will be like this month but let's see what happens

Xxx

How’s everyone doing? Not sure where I am at all in my cycle.. have done a ovulation test today and not gonna be bother doing a pregnancy test as would be far too early I think..
Where is everyone else at?
I’ve been considerably more tired last few days and yesterday soooo moody but could be hormones.
My my dd dad just had another baby today with his fiancé, not sad just very strange! Xx

Hello all!

Not too many updates from me yet. Going to visit DP on Friday, and I'm getting really impatient. The TWW is hard, but the wait BEFORE ovulation is also annoying as well! I just want to get on with it jump on DP

To feel like I'm actually doing something, I've started taking pre-conception vitamins, and bought some of that pre-seed lube.

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

Thanks @Doris19! I really hope this is the month for me.

@Sunflower2019 that must be strange!

Well I don’t want to symptom spot and I’m still doing ovulation tests like a weirdo as I know I can’t test yet.. apparently sometimes shows two lines if pregnant too?
Anyway woke up feeling hungry which is odd as I’ve eaten and I’m still feeling empty, feeling hot too... got in the bath and had some cramps and my wee is so dark, has been for two days now?? Maybe I’m symptom spotting!
Anyone else having any symptoms? Xx

No symptoms @Sunflower2019 as I'm just waiting for ovulation....I thought I'd be completely off-kilter but looks like per my ov tests I'm about to ovulate on time.....

How many DPO are you?

How are you doing @Carysmatic ?

@bezalelle pre seed lube is a revelation to me. In fact, I have actually just learned that lube is bad for sperm how did I not know this???

In other news, the TWW is one thing, the wait until ovulation is another

Hmmm I didn't know this either?!

FYI OPKs on sale on Amazon in Prime Day sales today!

Hi there! Can I join you? I had an early miscarriage in May, had a break in June, also had some antibiotics treatment so missed a cycle. My period is due in a couple of days and then around 28 July I hope to have my ovulation. A bit worried about trying for a baby again. I thought everything would be easy as with our first baby. But then I didn't have any luck since January and ended up with a MC. Not a great start. It was a very painful experience. I have already got loads of cheap tests and they are waiting in the cupboard but at the same time I'm scared to use them as the sooner you know you are pregnant the sooner you start worrying about miscarrying. It is hard, isn't it?

Welcome @NavyBerry. So sorry to hear about the difficult time you've been having. TTC is really a rollercoaster of emotions. I'm only on my second cycle and already it's taking its toll emotionally.

It's great to have this thread for support!

Welcome @NavyBerry My story is very similar, TTC #2 since January with a MC at 6 weeks last month. It seems to get harder each cycle... I'm currently half way through the TWW. No symptoms to speak of 🙄

Thank you! Today my DH said he cannot wait till we try again so his positive attitude made me feel much better. Fingers crossed it is going to be a lucky month for us (and everyone TTC!) I'm already taking folic acid to get my body ready.

Welcome @NavyBerry . Sorry to hear about your experience that is really tough. I think we are all supporting each other here after some hard times - wishing you lots of luck! That's lovely about your DH, I think our CP experience made my DH a lot more enthusiastic and keen to try again actually also. It does feel nice to have their support.

Hey everyone,

Just checking in! No news as yet, wish I knew more where I was in my cycle as I’ve had two bleeds this month, only done opks which have been coming back positive but ran out yesterday so not sure what’s going on.. I’ve been feeling so strange tho, but could just be because I’m off the pill and not use to ovulation, been having some cramps and feeling yuck, so tired!!! Feel like I could sleep forever, prob the stress of it all too!
Welcome @NavyBerry so sorry to hear about your mc, I had two in a row a couple of years ago and found them so painful and upsetting I’m also very scared but I feel at 32 and my dd is growing up so fast it’s right time, but still I’m feeling a mixture of emotions, probably why I’m so grouchy at the minute!!

Good luck everyone xx

Hey sorry been a bit quiet on here this week. Felt a bit weird about TTC this cycle, it all seems so soon to be ovulating after my CP and I've found it a little difficult to be intimate with DH. I don't want to not try this cycle but I'm also not thinking about it as much as I have in previous cycles. I tried some opks the last few days but they started off getting darker and now are already getting lighter without ever hitting peek so I honestly don't know if I've ovulated already or not. I've been really bad at remembering to do my bbt in the morning as well can't even confirm with that. Those that have had CP and track bbt did you find your bbt dipped really low and stayed low for a long time? Mine went down as far as 35.95 which is the lowest reading I've ever had. Me and DHD have DTD twice in the last 4 days after having a heart to heart about what happened and that it was okay to try again. How's everyone else getting on? And hello to any newbies to our group xxx

I don't track my bbt sorry @Carysmatic - just doing opks. Everyone really stressed in our household at the moment and tired due to work and we're moving, so DTD not a priority but I feel weird not trying!! Feel like I need a possibility to cling to otherwise it's a long 4 week wait!

How is everyone else doing? X

Morning all.

I just posted a thread in this topic just to get more views on my current EWCM situation! According to Flo I'm going to ovulate on Sunday. According to another app I've started using (Premom), it will be early next week. But today I'm having loads of EWCM, and just hoping that ovulation holds off until at least Friday when I arrive at DP's.

I'm not tracking OPK but maybe I should...

Hope everyone else is doing well.

I'm really confused with the ovulation timing for me this month too @Bezalelle . I've had EWCM now for two days and I'm on day 13 of my cycle. Normally now is when we'd be DTD and like clockwork I normally ovulate on day 14 and always get pains. But just done a CB digit test and it's showing negative!! Am so confused. Surely I'd be in my surge by now? I really think our cycles could be out of whack from last month? Think I just need to be relaxed about it this month and go with the flow and see what next month brings 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hey..
so been doing the opks to try resist a test.. ordered onestep midstream tests and can see a faint line, I’m just wondering if they are dodgy tests, gonna order a frer!
I’ve been feeling weird but wasn’t sure if it was hormonal with coming off the pill and busy schedule
I had a bleed around 23/24th of last month so not due for another 6 days... so confused.. xxx

How’s everyone else? X

I'm getting pretty frustrated with my opks, they just showing a faint second line and not getting any darker. Usually I get a faint second line for a few days and then it starts getting darker as I approach ovulation but it's been a week of faint second lines and I'm getting so confused. Normally I would have ovulated by now but both opks are negative and bbt is staying low so no spike to confirm ovulation. So confusing, obviously there is some LH because there is a faint second line. I'm also feeling confused @Sunflower2019 I dunno what to suggest about your dilemma, I think opks can sometimes detect HCG but it's worth trying with a proper pregnancy test. Try with the FRER and fingers crossed for you xx

@Carysmatic it’s an onestep pregnancy test I’ve done! I just don’t know if they are reliable 🤔
My opks are negative now, just a faint line. I’ll upload the test but you may not see the line as it’s so faint and I haven’t a clue where I am in my cycle xx

@Sunflower2019 hmm I think I see a line but it's really faint. Could be your BFP! Fx for you 🤞🏻xx

@Sunflower2019 have you done any test today? Fingers crossed for you!

I have been to my doctor's today. She has taken a swab from my cervix to confirm there is no latent infection. The result will be ready in a week, hopefully, just by the time my ovulation is due. I feel great and hope to get a green light for TTC!

Hope it goes well @NavyBerry

I'm on my way to DPs - staying until Tuesday to make use of my fertile window. Ovulation predicted on Sunday but I reckon it will happen before if EWCM is anything to go by.

Feeling a bit apprehensive at the idea of the TWW again. It was nice to have two weeks of not wondering "am I pregnant???"
