Hi all ,

I want some company .... currently in my 10 month of TTC after a miscarriage last March at 14 weeks

Due to ovulate around the 10th so my TWW will start around the 11th

Anyone else in the same boat ? Let's keep each other company

Ps I need support not to test early as drove myself mad last month !

Xxx

Hopefully* not hotshot 🤦‍♀️

Adrianoska · 05/03/2020 08:45

@Juno231 I prefer hotshot, such a great name for the peak! 😂
Hotshot!

Yes... Don't worry yet. I too was freaking out.. My cycles are only 25 days long nowadays. And I could easily miss my positive, there was nothing in the morning, slightly darker in the afternoon and very dark in the evening when I just tested as an additional measure!
Keep testing.
And record it so you will know better next month.

@juno231 I'm in the same boat 're short cycles- I seem to ovulate around cd10 or 11 the last few months which is a couple of days earlier than I used to (and my cycles have dropped overall length. After next month I'm going to the gp to ask to be referred (6 months ttc) and hopefully see if there might be another reason they are shortening rather than early menopause (im only 34, almost 35)

Juno231 · 05/03/2020 16:34

@sammyclaire22 @Adrianoska thank you that's reassuring to hear from others. Just did my daily OPK and line is fainter than ever. If I ovulated on Sunday/Monday though that would put me at ovulation on CD7/8 which would make the egg immature and not viable for conception from what I gather. I'll carry on tracking and if the short follicular phase continues I'll contact a gp as well as it will cause fertility problems based on everything I've read...

Sammyclaire22 · 05/03/2020 19:37

Do you track your cm and bbt @juno231? I find opks sometimes are a bit odd (I used a bulk pack of cheap ones and got quite a lot of random highs and questionable peaks. Going back to my original brand this month) so I rely more on cm and bbt rise to be sure, although I seem to get a slow rise too!

Adrianoska · 06/03/2020 11:10

I use just cheap opks... But they seem very consistent, I had no problems.
I am sitting here waiting as I am out of my fertile period now.
We did really the best we could over last few days... 😁
Oh how I pray for BFP.

❤️

Juno231 · 06/03/2020 13:55

@sammyclaire22 I read about this yday - it's a myth that everyone just has one peak and some people have multiple, so maybe that's what you have? I've had none lol. Per my cycle I should be ovulating today and per fitbit it's tomorrow but my OPKs are basically blank 🤷‍♀️. DTD yday and will again tonight just in case but I'm mainly really intrigued to see when AF will show to get a better idea of when ovulation was.

Sammyclaire22 · 06/03/2020 19:30

I just seem to get lots of highs with them even during AF! I do get a peak around the expected time though. But I don't think I used to get so many highs when I used a different brand so going back to those so I can see if it's clearer the exact day I ovulate.
Are you particularly hydrated? Maybe you've still got a few days to go? Any ewcm?

Sammyclaire22 · 06/03/2020 19:31

Fc for you @adrianoska.... try to keep busy the next week or so so you arnt driving yourself mad by the time you hit 10dpo!

Adrianoska · 07/03/2020 11:08

@Sammyclaire22 yeah... I am already paralysed by waiting. According to ovia I can test in 9 days. My head is killing me sine yesterday. My husband is now getting worried, too... He wants us to have a baby more than anything.

❤️

Donnat89 · 07/03/2020 11:45

@Donnat89 hiya, I think I ovulated yesterday 😒 according to CM but still DTD until Monday just incase xxx

Donnat89 · 07/03/2020 16:15

@LRHR how annoying to have it change ! But yes I would still DTD just in case xxx

OP posts:
LRHR · 07/03/2020 20:57

@Donnat89 I'm just going to try and let nature takes its course this month xxx

Donnat89 · 08/03/2020 09:44

@LRHR I've decided the same now tbh i find myself getting so stressed about it all xxx

OP posts:
Adrianoska · 08/03/2020 11:36

Oh I am just waiting
.. 5 dpo... Waiting and waiting and waiting. Hate this. 😔

LRHR · 08/03/2020 17:29

@Adrianoska it's the worst 😩 fingers crossed for you xxx

Juno231 · 08/03/2020 18:11

CD15 and never did have that OPK surge 🤷‍♀️. Had a sharp twinge on my left side on Thursday which I've never really had before so was thinking that could've been it but I guess I won't know! AF is due on 21st per my fitbit but can't wait to see what will actually happen this time!

Secretly hoping the witch won't come still, I can't help it!

Adrianoska · 08/03/2020 18:45

@LRHR... Thank you 💖 today it is my third day of headache... I am feeling pretty low and I just pray that the af will not turn up... Horrible feeling. So many thoughts at once... What's the point, will be OK, will not be OK, will get pregnant, will never get pregnant, it doesn't matter, it's the end of the world, will he leave, he will stay forever, what's wrong with me, how can I stop, what can I do...

@Juno231 fingers crossed for you ☺️ I read that not all the surges can be picked up by the test... Mine lasts only a few hours! Easily missed..

Love to you girls xxx and happy women's day, right? Ffs. Xxx

Sammyclaire22 · 08/03/2020 22:03

Hi everyone how is everyone doing? Cd7 now and still spotting. No sign of my lh surge starting though (it's usually around cd10) or ewcm so guess my cycle is a bit off still from the chemical. Pretty glad as I'm still feeling pants and really don't fancy dtd!
@juno231 when you thought you were around your peak did you take multiple tests throughout the day? My surge seems to last a couple of days but some people's is only a few hours. My app recommends testing every 4 hours when expected!

Try to keep positive @adrianoska... it's still very early into your ttc and of you were ovulating earlier than expected that might explain it! Even if you time it perfectly it's still a miracle if it happens. And I'm sure you oh won't leave you because of it, IF (a big if!) There is a problem it might not even be down to you.

@LRHR are you doing anything to track at all? I'm not sure I could be so hands off now :( Let us know if the tww feels quicker not actually knowing when it is exactly!

Juno231 · 08/03/2020 22:17

@Adrianoska @sammyclaire22 I took two tests on the two days I thought were most likely. Last month I took one at noonish (which I've tried to keep to this time at well) and had a super clear surge on the first go!

Might just not do OPKs next cycle and assume that ovulation happens in line with my app predictions!

Now girls... Are you planning on skipping the next cycle? My due date would be Christmas eve if AF shows as predicted and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Adrianoska · 08/03/2020 22:32

No! No! Absolutely I would not skip anything. Want that baby more than anything even if it comes on Christmas eve! Hahaha
Yes... Thank you 💖
Fingers crossed...
How are you guys feeling inside?

Yeah... My dear husband would not leave me but I have kids and he hasn't... Would that be fair on someone who wants a baby so much?

My head hurts... I really just want to sleep and kill time...

Xxx

LRHR · 09/03/2020 07:03

@Sammyclaire22 I use an app to track but I'm really really trying to just go with my body this month. Don't get me wrong it's really hard and it's still in the back of my head.
I had such a bad month in feb where every little thing must be pregnancy related and I convinced myself I was pregnant and I wasn't.
AF due 24th so it's just a waiting game again ❤️.

@Adrianoska think it's very normal
To have these feelings, you WILL fall pregnant, we all will ❤️❤️❤️

Adrianoska · 09/03/2020 10:42

@LRHR ❤️❤️🙏🌸

Donnat89 · 09/03/2020 15:20

@LRHR I with you on that the last couple months had been horrendous for me , I still track on my app but like you just go with my body .

TWW is starting for me so fingers crossed for a BFP .

I'm trying not to test early but know by next week I would have ordered some IC and FRER 😅😅😅

Good luck ladies xxx
