TTC awhile now

[BFP2020]

Hey, I've started a more broad thread this month rather than a bus so we can keep it going rather than starting new ones every month.

Here are my stats
TTC no 2 (2 years to have no 1 but we weren't actively trying and I knew nothing about my cycle and DTD not so often)
Cycle 12
AF/BFP 12th Jan
Age 30

@Tamalama I'm day 20 today - although don't feel as bloated as yesterday!

[Hola84]

@BFP2020, @Johnnybegood2 fingers crossed for positive BFP and no AF x

[Hola84]

@ablisha, I am 20 day today too, not bloated, but feeling few cramps. Too soon for period pains, so really not sure what's that about. Have you experienced any cramping today/recently? x

[ablisha]

@Hola84 I have some cramping but wondering whether that's linked to the bloating or my ovulation is late as I'm only using apps at the moment. I've ordered some OPKs for next cycle

[Johnnybegood2]

Thank you :)
Although I've got home tonight and I'm 99.9% sure that period pains have started. It's just a dull ache at the moment but it's usually the start of it. Nvm, what will be will be I suppose

[Tamalama]

Morning ladies, fingers crossed for you all 😊

According to my apps my fertile period has now finished. In that time we've dtd CD 10, 11, 13 & 15. I got my positive opk at CD13 which I guess puts me as ov on CD14, so hopefully we've done enough. I wish we'd dtd on CD14 but we were both so tired 😕 I had lots of ewcm yesterday evening so I figured we'd just dtd anyway, even if I had already ov by then. We dtd 4 times during my 7 day fertile window so hopefully it's enough.
I've woken up this morning with a god awful migraine ☹️

[BFP2020]

@Tamalama Good morning thank god its Fri!! Do you work a 9-5 mon -fri job??

I'm Cd 27 today and my cycles have been mostly 28 or 29 days lately and as I don't know when I ovulated i'm guessing CD16 but could have been CD 15 so I've literally everything crossed that AF doesn't arrive over the weekend. Boobs sore 10 DPO this month which is much later than normal but they are killing me. Normally around 7DPO they start getting sore. Having cramps and backache and serious wind and bloated tummy since Monday. Cramps and backache have eased an awful lot today just feel like I've a Dodgy tummy now rather than cramps. Why do I do this to myself every month I know they are going to come but I still get my hopes up!!

[Tamalama]

@BFP2020 yep, I work Monday-fri 9-5 so it's finally the weekend! 😊
I know what you mean, every month I symptom spot (even though I say I won't) and I also build up my hopes. When I had my DD and when I got pregnant last year I didn't do any research, knew nothing about tracking my cycle, apart from my period, and knew nothing really about ov. It seems that I was more successful when I was oblivious! 🙈🤦‍♀️ I hope af stays away this weekend x

[BFP2020]

@Tamalama thought I'd wake up to them this morning but didn't if it's going to come now I just want to get it over and done with 🙈

[Hola84]

@Tamalama, exactly same here! With my DS it was the first cycle since we've started having an unprotected sex and boom, baby on the way! Now, I feel like a lunatic, looking at the apps for hours, calculating the days, reading everything I can and checking if I got pregnant this month, when would the due date be 🙈🙈🙈 this time next week I should know, and feel weirdly confident. Good that it falls at the weekend, as bottle of wine will help me with the disappointment should that be the case! 😂 Good luck xx

[Tamalama]

@Hola84 I'm exactly the same, every month I'm googling the same things, looking at my apps, etc. Basically driving myself mad. I'm ok until I get to 6dpo, mainly because 6dpo is the earliest that implantation can take place, and that's when I always start to symptom spot like mad 🤦‍♀️🙈 fingers crossed for your bfp! Xx

@BFP2020 how are you doing? X

[swirls3468]

Hi everyone !!
I've decided to chill with the Ttc for a bit and just dtd every other day. I've still not come on period since 9th I was due but neg test and don't feel pregnant. So guess my periods are just messed up. I don't even know if I am ovulating to be honest.
Hope everyone is well!

[BFP2020]

@Tamalama good morning still no AF for me I could either be 13 or 14 DPO bad cramps and backache again yesterday was convinced I'd wake up to them this morning my body is trolling me 🙈

[Tamalama]

@BFP2020 fingers crossed the witch stays away! 🤞 x

[BFP2020]

Good morning AF arrive for me this morning so here are my new stats.

TTC no 2 (DD aged 4)
Cycle 13
AF/BFP 10th Feb

[Tamalama]

@BFP2020 I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you're ok? X

[BFP2020]

@Tamalama I'm fine I feel like I'm used to it at this stage I don't even get upset anyway because I just expect it! How are you doing? X

[Tamalama]

Yep I'm the same too, I just kind of expect it now. I'm not too bad, 5dpo today so just kind of trying to ignore it all and not think about the tww x

[Hola84]

@BFP2020, ah that sucks! Sorry to hear that XX I've started feeling lots of cramps today, not a great news :// it's my 24th day of the cycle and according to the app I'm due this Friday x

[Hola84]

I'm out too :// just had some off colour bleeding which usually happens prior to period. Ahhhh FFS!!!

[Hola84]

Me again! Oh why not give myself more false hope 😂 although I am pretty sure period is coming, I just read about implantation bleeding which is dark brown colour that happens few days before period. Ah, will I ever learn!!! Always doing same stupid thing each month 😂😂

[Tamalama]

@Hola84 If it's any consolation, I'm exactly the same every single month too 😕 I really hope it's implantation bleeding though x

[Tamalama]

@ablisha how are you getting on?

[ablisha]

Hey ladies.

I'm 7DPO now. Had cramps since last week but no other symptoms so I'm not holding out too much hope but I know I'll be disappointed when AF arrives.

I didn't think I'd find the tww hard but how wrong I was! I reckon I'll cave and do a first response on Saturday

[Tamalama]

@ablisha the tww is definitely very hard 😕 I'm 5dpo so no symptoms to really try and spot yet. I'm hoping we dtd at the right times. I'm doing dry January so I'm hoping that will also have made a difference. Af due next Tuesday but I'm so tempted to test at the weekend, even though I know I shouldn't do it to myself 🤦‍♀️ x
