Hi Ladies, any of you out there around cd 8 looking for someone to chat with during the rollercoaster ride that is ttc? A lot of my friends already have kids and I’m feeling a bit left behind. xo

@Alice8688 Opk’s can fluctuate so much...this doesn’t mean you won’t still ovulate or that you haven’t already & perhaps missed this if it was a short surge (mines is positive for about 12hrs max usually). Make sure regular bd to cover yourself x

Thank you @Sammiantha2020 it's just so hard waiting! Especially after being pregnant so recently (and after relatively few months trying). And my cycle was so textbook then: as were the opks. I struggle with "outta the norm" at the best of times!
Luckily we do bd a fair amount (lucky DH!) even when we weren't trying. So this is my only saving grace!
How are you getting on? Xx

Sammiantha2020 · 17/01/2020 13:51

Don’t worry @Alice8688 mines have been all over the place & I ov’d a wk earlier this month to last month 🤷‍♀️ try not let it get to you!
I’m sure you will be well covered if it’s happened without you catching the surge... try to relax (easier said than do I know!).
I’m 9 dpo ...no symptoms, however as ov caught me completely unaware this month I’m pretty sure it’s into the next cycle for me... x

I think I've give up on the test and we been Dtd every 2 to 3 days

Sammiantha2020 · 17/01/2020 18:29

@Wintergal aslong as you keep dtd you’ll be covered! It can be a difficult time, but please stay positive x

We going away for the night so there will be lots of bding hopefully lol! How is everyone else getting on

Sammiantha2020 · 18/01/2020 14:31

I’m just trying to enjoy dtd outside of the window...it can be so stressful during the fertile window x

CD16 here and nowhere near a pos OPK 😢 I just don't think I will this month. I've been testing since AF finished so haven't missed it. But no positive so far. Just faint second lines. Not getting discernibly darker or lighter. I am either in for a monster month of 30+ days or a regular 28-29 and no ov. Either way: pretty down about it!

Sorry to rant. Hope y'all are having better days! Xx

Sammiantha2020 · 19/01/2020 13:58

Hi @Alice8688 it is verrry possible to have a long cycle every now n then - I’m having a particularly short one this cycle at 26 days...I was always 30/31. Don’t lose hope! x

OP posts:
Wintergal · 19/01/2020 15:03

@Alice8688 I am also having long cycles so I hear ya here any time you want to rant

Alice8688 · 19/01/2020 16:39

Thank you ladies 😘 feeling so defeated about it all! I don't know why I'm feeling particularly sad lately about it!

@Wintergal how long are your cycles darl?

@Sammiantha2020 thank you doll. I'm hoping that af will either be on time so I can start again or the cycle is long but I ov. A long cycle with no pos opks/ov will be upsetting xxx

Wintergal · 19/01/2020 16:59

Last month it was 45 days. Flow app has me ovulating this week but last week I have two lines o e faint but they have now both vanished and I now have extremely sore boobs so no idea what's going on with my cycles which is very annoying!

Alice8688 · 19/01/2020 17:12

@Wintergal oh that sucks. You defo have my sympathies. Let me know how you get on this week. Fingers crossed for us both. It's so stressful isn't it 😢 xx

Sammiantha2020 · 19/01/2020 17:13

@Alice8688 I’m with you...the entire process is a nightmare - far too much waiting! You never know, perhaps you just missed ov as it happened during the night or something...& you’ll surprise us all with a bfp x

Wintergal · 19/01/2020 17:15

Yeah who thought it would have been this stressful am in pain just sat here grr

Wintergal · 20/01/2020 17:54

Hi ladies how are you all! Has anyone ever had these symptoms when ovulating. Sore boobs they feel squashed in my bra, headache and I feel really sick.

Sammiantha2020 · 20/01/2020 18:01

I felt that way when pregnant before my mmc...are you sure you haven’t ovulated? x

OP posts:
Wintergal · 20/01/2020 18:09

I am not sure I was testing everyday for a week then I give up and went back to end of pasty week. I feel so wiped out today and couldn't even enjoy my coffee to pick me up

Sammiantha2020 · 20/01/2020 18:13

How many days are you into your cycle? x

OP posts:
Wintergal · 20/01/2020 18:17

Am on day 22

Sammiantha2020 · 20/01/2020 18:31

I’ve got my fx it’s a good sign for you! I’m on cd 24, due af on Thurs...desperate for it to hurry up as I know I’ve no chance this cycle due to timing 😢 x

OP posts:
Wintergal · 20/01/2020 18:35

Thanks @Sammiantha2020 it's prob nothing. You never know fx for you also!

Jenna30ttc · 20/01/2020 19:15

@sammiantha2020 hi sorry that I didn't reply to your last post! Slightly changed my name from Jenna30 to Jenna30ttc. So since my last post I kept testing but never got a positive opk. Im due on the 28th but have no idea when i ovulated so not sure what DPO I am. Which is frustrating. How are you doing? Where are you in your cycle? Sorry if I've missed this.

Jenna30ttc · 20/01/2020 19:17

@Sammiantha2020 just read your post! CD24. Sorry that you feel that way but you never know. However I know it's easy to say and tbh i completely understand I feel the same. I prefer feeling negative about that having hope and being disappointed when you see the BFN.

Sammiantha2020 · 20/01/2020 19:29

@Jenna30ttc I’m absolutely fine, just desperate to get onto my next cycle as this one was a complete waste of time, hopefully I’ll know where I am next one. What kind of opks do you use? I’m cd 24 & due af on Thurs going by my lp (as this was a short cycle at 26 days for me, usually 31). I think my body is still settling down after everything.
What cd you on? How’s it all going? x
