Spoke too soon, period has arrived 😢

@claireb707 I'm sorry AF arrived 😢 Hope you're ok, eat lots of chocolate and relax, it wont be long until you can try again. Did you enjoy your holiday?
Another bfn here this morning, going to wait until thurs or fri now xx

@claireb707 I'm sorry, its so confusing when our bodies don't act predictably.

AF finally appeared today, after very light spotting yesterday. I wonder if I possibly had a very early chemical pregnancy as this is so out of the ordinary for me.

@MrsSkr amazing holiday thanks, just over so quick, back to earth yesterday with a massive bump of 6 am alarm and 650 emails to wade through 😂

@Luxoire I hope it's just the app bing funny and it doesn't arrive this weekend gives me more hope for abit it luck this time 🤞💕

@claireb707 aww I'm sorry you af arrived hun, I was really gutted last time just got to think it will happen 😊 hugs hunny!!

How's everyone else coping this TTC is hard x

@Konbanwa Ovia is probably my fave between that and the Prenom - but hat may just because I have used it longer?!

Guys i had horrible lower abdo pains last night - i think that may have been ovulation As ovia said yesterday (even though it recalculated my fertility period) and Prenom said today. I havent used any opks today, but i have just done a wee and cleaned and i had lots of creamy cm sorry TMI) that was not there 3hrs ago! it is not egg white, but it is really really stretchy!
I was in so much pain/discomfort last night I couldn't bring myself round to DTD even though i felt/thought it was ovulation. So last time we DTD was sunday night - now I have spent all day kicking myself and wishing we did IT yesterday to cover the fertile /ovulation...
I just feel like we are out this month and I AM CRYING! probably the hormones not helping - but i really have tears rolling down my face!

JUST FEEL RUBBISH AND HELPLESS

@dancingqueen03 aww babe i hope you still have time to catch it - nothing worse than feeling you have missed it and wishing the 2ww away!!! sending you lots of ovulation and baby dust xx

@Luxoire aww don't cry I know it's a disheartening feeling when you think you may have missed it i was the same yesterday, just try tonight you never know, my oh has been away a lot this time so kinda come to terms that if my app is wrong and I ovulated later than expected I am out this time so no point bearing myself up cause it was the apps fault not mine x

@dancingqueen03 hahaha your msg made me laugh - YES THAT'S RIGHT - IT IS THE APP'S FAULT! thank you for making me laugh through tears!!! LOVE YOU

Aww hun, try to to be too upset. Although I know you will be, we'd all be the same! But you just never know and even if you are ovulating today and dtd on Sun night, that is fine!! There is definitely a possibility of getting pregnant at that!! Swimmers can survive 5 to 7 days so you are definitely still in with a good chance! I thought i was ovulating when i got my positive opk but iv read that the surge can be a day or so before you actually ovulate so we dtd on the day of the positive (wed) but not since and tbh I think I might have ovulated on the Fri as was still getting ewcm. So we are in the same boat. Try to relax, dtd again tonight if you can as your eggy will still be waiting and if not just try to relax xxx

Aww @luxoire don't be sad! I didn't even understand cycles with my first two children, had no idea when ovulation was and still managed to conceive in less than three months each! It only takes once, you never know! Xx

Aww ladies..thank you so much I girls are so sweet .. I dont think anyone else not even DH will underatand why I am so uoset and I can't even face explaining LH surge ovulation fertile days etc...ots hard enough explaining it when I'm lucid ..but when I'm emotional i just start crying all over again! Its so great to have u girls who understand why i am upset and its not just in my mind. Thanks ladies I'm going to try to dts tonight and hope for the best as DH is away with work now for the rest of the week till Friday!! Then its the agonising 2ww...i domt even know when i ovukated technically so dont know when to count my 2ww wait from?!

Hope everyome else is holding up better emotionally than i am?!

SORRY FOR BEING SUCH AN WRECK!

@Luxoire bless your heart, sending you big hugs. I know exactly how you feel. I knew I hadn't conceived this month when I had ewcm twice within a week of each other, but I still got really upset when Af started and had a few tears, was really hard when I was around family members and trying to keep my emotions in.
My Af has stopped today so will be back on it in a few days, trying not to rush straight in to it as I dont want the dh to get too tired before the days we need to definitely dtd. Haha x

I had a cry yesterday too even though my period hadn't started I sort of knew that the bleeding I was having wasn't anything positive 😢😢
It's completely understandable. Hormones play a major part here! (Ha listen to me, why can't I listen to my own advice)

I'm having some fairly sore cramps in my right side and backache tonight. Thinking af is getting ready for her visit 😢

@Zm2019 thanks hun, i had a great big pity part last night and some dutch courage so we could dtd in case the egg made it thought he 24hr life cycle it is supposed to live for - other than that i am hoping the swimmers from the weekend were still alive

@claireb707 IT IS HARD - like emotionally draining hahahahaah. easy giving advice and telling other ppl to be strong but you are faced with the possibility of 14days to wait for BFN and then another 10-14days for a fertile period to begin just seems like forever !!!

@MrsSkr it is not over till the witch shows - are those your normal AF signs?

I guess i am in my 2ww wait now..kind of resigned myself to what will be will be, and looking fwd testing and starting a clean slate. I have had enough of opks and as next month will be my 'last month to try for a summer baby' I will invest in clearblue to try to get ovulation!
I am not even sure when to start counting the 2ww wait from but as my period is expected 22/10 my 2ww started yesterday! so i guess i am 1dpo?!

Girls I'm sat here doing the math and realised if i did conceive this month baby will be due 1st July...how am i gonna cope with a section, 2 different school runs and a new born? DH will only get 2 weeks leave...this is earlier than I expected as I wanted mid/late July lol...theres no pleasing me. Part of me is secretly thinking I will be ok with. BFN this month?! Hahahahah 😆 😆 what a rollercoaster lf emotions these last 24hrs

@Luxoire when do the schools break up? Try not to overthink that too much, it's a long time away and I'm sure you would manage to sort out something. If it's only for a couple of weeks maybe a friend could help out or something? Or put the kids on Mat leave too 🤣
Another stark, bright bfn this morning. My official tww (if 14 days) would be up tomorrow at the very latest (if I ov later than my positive opk) so I'm thinking I'm out. I dont know my cycles very well after the coil so not sure on lengths etc. Had another night of cramps last night so maybe af is on her way xx

@MrsSkr Hahahha at put the kids on mat leave too..they break up July 17th wpuld the school frown if i gebuine didnt take them to school because i can't?! Lol ur right we can figure aomething out..i gotta get the BFP first lol getting way to ahead of myself...

Sorry about ue BFN hun...wpuld u consider investing in clearblue ovulation stick next cycle as opposed to opks? I'm thinking I might next cycle as opks are hard and can be hit and miss...sending you hugs..maybe wait and see if/when AF comes

@luxoire if your due date was 1st July, your dh would get two weeks paternity leave which would then pretty much take you to the start of the girls school holidays by the time he goes back to work. It would be one hell of a summer holidays for you though haha

So after AF appearing this month - really abnormal light flow for me after a weirdly long cycle, I have no idea what's going on with my body. Anyway, we've decided to hold off ttc for a few months. I feel content with the decision, the timings work best for our family. So now we'll be hoping for a November-is baby! I'm going to stick around and pop back to see how you're all getting on, and still keeping everything crossed for lots of baby dust in the group ❤️

My paragraphs disappeared! Annoying!

@PieAndPumpkins aww thanks babe! Yeah he's not best pleased with the timing either cos there's an annual work conferemce first week of July abd first week of November he usually goes to...when my sexond was born he literally had to run out mid conferemce and drive from Liverpool to bedforshire..time he got here we were already in theatre ..time he got scrubbed in baby was out....he just witness the putting back of all my internal bits (sorry tmi)....i have pretty much written off having a summer next year cos I think it will be spent in a daze of sleep deprived breastfeeding bubble...lol no holidays or anything! We will see how i feel easter if we can have our annual family holiday then...if not it may have to be the following year..flying with a baby is not one of the things I want to experience if goven the choice not to!!

Awe babe.. If its not the right time for you guys then it simply isn't and you can tell by how much u accept the decision. U just know it deep inaide and ita ok...or do u just feel you have dogded the bullet for now?!lol... 😆 we'd love you sticking around for support and encouragement as its been great getting to know you. You will have to be getting frisky on Valentine for a november baby...it worked for me, my second is a november baby 😆 😆 Xoxox

Woke up feeling sick this morning, thought this is it....bfn x

Hi ladies, just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing?
I haven’t read all 35 pages of updates but get that cycle tracking and symptom spotting is a bloody pain!!!
For those that remember me, I accidentally conceived first cycle of being on this group, lots of scary genetic history following dd’s death etc. Well, more scary news....there are TWO babies in there! I am seeing fetal medicine next week which will hopefully reassure me.
Sending lots of baby dust to you all :)

PS @Luxoire you know you can’t plan the dates that well....!!
