Thought the old one was getting a bit full so I'd start a new one. I'll attempt tagging as many as I can

If I've missed anyone sorry!

@ValidUser that’s about what I thought, thank you! I really do hope they find something that we can work on, my worst nightmare would be to be told there’s nothing wrong 😬 little did I think 8 months ago I would almost be willing for something to be wrong with one of us it’s mad this TTC journey!

Bleeding heavier, but still not a period. Didn't even use up a regular pad overnight.

My theory is that because I had so many eggs, some of the corpora lutea are dying off and giving me breakthrough bleeding as my progesterone drops. We will have to see!

Hi everyone, me again...

I only seem to pop in during the TWW, sorry!

I've been reading your comments over the last few days, and even though I'm not 100% sure what everything I read means, it's always a comfort to see familiar names.

So for me, it's Cycle #6.... this month I haven't followed any ovulation predictors, or obsessed over TTC...... Until now hahahahaha.

I'm CD22, and (i think) 9DPO, but I've given up on trying to predict ovulation. I think mine might be messed up....

My cycles are between 22 & 27 days, more frequently between 24-26.

I'm trying hard to not symptom spot, but I'm so nauseous this morning in bed!!!!

I'm not going to test until CD 27 (yea right)

I hate this waiting.... my sister in law is 38 weeks tomorrow, and I'm one of her birthing partners. I'm so excited, but anxious how it will make me feel if AF arrives beforehand ...

Xxx

@ValidUser - that’s a good point! And why you’re the doc 😊

Hey everyone,

Welcome to the new members 😊

@ValidUser I really have my fingers crossed for you 😊

I'm still on holiday and loving it, not missed my thermometer at all 🙈🤣

I'm due to ovulate Tomorrow I think, based on ewcm, and previous months data, do nice to still have an idea of when it is 😊

TMI question, but do your OH's ever mention how you feel in fertile week?? Mine has been telling me the last few days that I'm a bit swollen outside and inside, and he can tell when I'm fertile because it's more slippery 😂 men 🙊

So my gynaecologist is also confused.

If the bleeding gets heavier, back on hormones tomorrow.

But if this is AF, we're not at all sure why, given that we know when I ovulated.

Pretty sure this is just a strange, early AF. That's ok, though. Here with lovely DH and lovely cats and looking forward to next cycle (grudgingly).

@ValidUser - sorry to hear that it might be AF. Your evening of husband and kitty chilling sounds ideal. I hope you have a lovely weekend 😀

@Lottiepink - hahahahaha! Never been told that, but it makes sense because of increased blood flow?
I hope you’re loving the holiday!

Sorry to hear its AF @validuser !

Hows everyone else doing? I know we have a few ladies in the tww - symptom spotting or remaining calm?

I am on cd4 and looking forward for the period to be over so we can start dtd again. Atleast in this half of the cycle i feel like i am proactively doing something vs the tww when i just wait to see whether AF arrives or whether it is bfp haha.

This journey really is full of ups and downs!

@Lottiepink havent experienced that haha!
Glad you have had a lovely holiday :D

Will you temp when you get back or are you enjoying the break?

@Anny27 I'm calm as a cucumber, but noticing little things which I'm trying to ignore so that I don't get my hopes up 😂😩👏🏼 had some light cramping today at 4dpo but also had bad constipation so linking it to that, also increase in creamy CM (sorry tmi) apart from that just thirsty and tired

@flossy12 good luck with keeping your mind off things! Will you wait till AF is due to test?

Hey @Anny27, I'm still in the 2ww and totally driving myself crazy. This is only cycle 1 for me so if this goes on for multiple cycles I will be a bag of nerves at this rate. Some days I'm sure I am going to be lucky and others I'm convinced I won't be, it's a real rollercoaster. I haven't tested again since my bfn last Sunday, I don't want to test again because I'll be so crushed if it's negative so i think ill just wait it out. I keep poking myself in the boob to see if they are more sore than normal lol!
Glad you are looking forward to getting started again for your new cycle. Everything crossed for you!

@ELW85 ahh yes that will probably be it! Never thought of that 😂 honestly it cracked me up ha! Yes it's loving thank you, last few days now though! How are you doing 😊

@Anny27 your going to have to ask him next time 😂😂 it's lovely thank you 😊 I'm not sure what to do, I will probably temp again, I will probably wait until after this cycle though I think..

@Anny27 yeah well due between the 8th/10th according to apps and I'm using my first test on the 7th then if it's BFN I'll wait for AF until after the 10th

@Lottiepink - it would have made me laugh too!
I’m very well thank you my dear! Currently in the hairdressers getting preened 😊
So pleased you’re having a lovely time; we aren’t away again until December so I’m very jealous!

Well we had a lovely stay at our wedding venue, too much food and drink and paying for it today so tired and slightly dodgy tum. No idea whether I actually ovulated or not so will just wait and see when af turns up. Hope you're all having lovely Saturdays. Anyone due to test?

Feeling in limbo today. Took a test this AM and I thought I saw a faint line. I think however it was just wishful thinking 🙈

Going to test again tomorrow morning with a test from work (I work in a hospital)

Just got to get this night shift over with. I feel so tired/sick/headachy I think im coming down with something 😩

@Anny27 I'm in tww. Cycle day 7-9 (not entirely convinced I know!) - I'm not going to test this month, guess I'll know in a week either way. I'm also ignoring any 'symptoms' as I've had cramps and nausea on the last couple of months and it's just what seems to happen for me before AF. I guess I've had the coil for so long I can barely remember what's normal! Hope your tww is chilled!

@ValidUser Sorry your body is doing odd cycles. Enjoy the cats and time with DH.

@Blossomingflower94 Are you able to post a pic? Maybe second opinions will help?

Thanks to everyone who said the bird shitting on my head was good luck 😂😂 fingers crossed something good comes of it. I didn't feel too lucky when it happened!

I'm heading out to a nice restaurant tonight - going to enjoy some good food and a glass of wine! Hope everyone else has a nice evening planned 💛

Hello I’m new here- hope you don’t mind me joining you all!

TTC #1, I have PCOS and have no idea what my cycle length is as so irregular. Doing Ovulation tests every day but so draining!

Fingers crossed our new method of DTD every other day will work?

Was discharged from gynae this week as my pelvic pain (unrelated to the PCOS) is now manageable... hoping that’s a step in the right direction but so impatient! Wanting a BFP before Christmas 🤞🤞🤞

@Motherofkittens28 fingers crossed for you! The wait is the worst part. Haha i constantly looking and feeling my boobs in the tww 🤣

@larrydavid have a lovely meal! Think you have the best attitude this month :D

@flossy12 fingers crossed!!

@Blossomingflower94 faint line sounds promissing:D let us know when you retest

@fro93 welcome to the group :D DTD every other day sounds like a good chance :)

@MrsH497 thats really awesome that your wedding venue gave you a free stay!

Really really strange....i took an LH test randomly today on cycle day 5 and it is a high reading. I dont know if people ovulate early after a chemical pregnancy???
Not even finished my period properly yet so usually a high reading means i will ovulate in a few days so that would be like cycle day 8!!! Very strange

@Anny27 thank you!! Maybe just DTD to cover yourself 😅 xx

I've had some cramping again today it's on and off but it isn't as intense as period cramps, I'm trying not to over think here but read that implantation cramps normally last between 1 and 3 days, has anyone had this?

@Anny27, our bodies change it up I think. I vary between day 8 and day 14 and it doesn't change the overall length of my cycle. A friend of mine ovoluates as soon as she finishes her period. All makes it harder to catch it!

@flossy12 I had what I can only assume was implantation cramping earlier this month and then started getting light cramps about 5 days after, well over a week before AF is due. Maybe it's just AF gearing up early, I'm making sure I write it all down so if I'm trying again next cycle I remember what a "normal" month felt like
