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 !

OK thank yiu for replying. When would you recommend testing? Xc

LRHR · 02/04/2020 20:33

@Sarahjh86 if you're 9days late and still getting negatives id maybe speak to your doctor if you are normally regular.
If you mean 9dpo you may not have had implantation yet xx

Sarahjh86 · 02/04/2020 20:40

@lrhr I'm 9 days late. Waiting for bloods to come bsck now 😢 I've sort of lost all hope but in usually regular x

Sammyclaire22 · 02/04/2020 20:53

@littlepeas2 frer can sometimes show an evaporation line and in certain lights you can see the dip. The main thing is to look for colour as evaps are just grey. I've been fooled by them before now!

Ivoryjane · 02/04/2020 21:07

Hi ladies, can I join on this bandwagon please? Smile

I am also TTC and am currently waiting patiently for AF to finish up so I can begin again! We are heading into 3rd cycle of trying for baby number 2. Going on my app I am due to ovulate on 11th so FW next week. I have never used any other method of tracking it so was happy to read all the other ways you ladies are tracking it. I will see how I go this month. Thanks!

Skyla01 · 02/04/2020 21:30

@Sarahjh86 maybe you should just wait it out? An odd randomly long cycle is annoying but there could be lots of reasons for it. Perhaps do another pregnancy test in a week if no period?

Hi @Ivoryjane. An app is a good place to start tracking things. Temping or opk will give you more info, but if you have a regular cycle then lots of DTD during your fertile week should do the trick!

Ivoryjane · 02/04/2020 21:37

@Skyla01 thanks so much Smile

I used to have a set 28 day cycle but not so much anymore. But its still not irregular either. I did have a crazy one in Feb, cycle only lasted 21 days so I'm not sure if I was right with my ovulation dates so I'm blaming that for being on AF now! Grin But heading into FW next week just going to DTD every second day or so!
Wishing everyone well!

Juno231 · 03/04/2020 15:09

Just by way of an update - firmly in FW now with ovulation due Mon/Tues per my two apps. OPKs still very faint but I'm carrying on with DTD anyway. Just wish I could fast forward to the 22nd to see if AF shows or not! This process is very slow and boring when wfh and having nothing else to occupy my mind with!

Littlepeas2 · 03/04/2020 16:48

Yay! At least you are back in fertile week!! I know what you mean though.. being at home means it’s in your mind more doesn’t it!

Skyla01 · 03/04/2020 17:51

@Juno231 good luck this fw! Hopefully lots of spare time for dtd.

@Littlepeas2 I have never used a frer. Do you think it might be positive?

Juno231 · 04/04/2020 15:24

Woop got a super strong peak today! It's brought forward OD by two days per the app and three days per my expectations! DTD today and Thurs and will aim to go again tomorrow and Monday morning to cover all our bases. Feeling positive this month!

Just goes to show how important tracking is! And I have no CM to speak of so I'm glad I opted to try pre-seed this month.

Bic501 · 04/04/2020 16:15

@Sammyclaire22 think we are cycle buddies this month! I'm CD 5 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
My cycles seem to be about 30 days so bit longer than average.

Hope everyone is well, staying home were poss and staying safe xx

Skyla01 · 04/04/2020 18:28

@Juno231 exciting! It's good to know when to get down to business. I do miss the accuracy of using opks. We try and DTD at least every other day for about 8 days over fertile window, to try and make sure we don't miss it.

Adrianoska · 04/04/2020 19:00

🎉🎉🎉🎉Go go go @Juno231 🎶

Sammyclaire22 · 04/04/2020 19:56

Ahh hi @bic501!
Good luck @juno231, sending lots of baby dust- really hope this month is a lucky one for us all!

Skyla01 · 05/04/2020 08:14

Morning, how is everybody getting on?

I'm 7/8dpo. Just waiting.... I'm feeling neutral so far- not sure this is our month / not sure it isn't! I don't think lockdown is helping at all, not much to distract me!

Ivoryjane · 05/04/2020 10:26

Ah best of luck everyone waiting & trying. App telling me ovulation is next Sat so heading into FW. I'm trying to stay as calm and positive as I can..so happy to be on here to share with you all.Smile My husband is great but doesn't get all these dates and apps and stuff. Doesn't want me stressing. BlushI agree Skyla01 wfm and lockdown don't make all this waiting any easier.

Juno231 · 05/04/2020 14:03

Well I'm on to the TWW then I think! Will do another OPK in a couple of hours to confirm the peak is over but otherwise I think we've done everything we were supposed to do. Managed to DTD three times during FW including the day of and the day before OD so should be covered 🙏

Had wine last night for the last time before AF shows and will be cutting down on caffeine as well. TWW during lockdown will be looong.

@Ivoryjane I know what you mean - my OH listens to my occasional TTC natter but with a bemused smile as if I'm crazy and he understands zero of it!

Sammyclaire22 · 06/04/2020 09:26

Hi all cd7 so in my fw now! Trying to catch up on all the changes in work over the last week I've been off. Lost my glasses too- made me realise how much we rely on little things every day just to do our jobs.

Skyla01 · 06/04/2020 12:34

Everyone's fertile window seems to come round fast! I wish my cycles were a bit shorter. I'm waiting for AF (due on friday).

@Juno231 I also avoid caffeine in tww. Booze not so much...! Not that I drink a lot, but I'll be having a glass of something most nights this week since we're stuck inside.

Juno231 · 06/04/2020 12:57

@Skyla01 I'm sure I won't stay off the booze completely - problem is when we open a bottle we finish it! So last week we went through 6 bottles I think as a couple which is far too much. We don't normally drink that much but lockdown... So I'll try and refrain with weekday wine to start with and that will already have made a big dent in my consumption.

1DPO - idea is to test on the 19th but god knows how I'll make it until then! I just know I'll be symptom spotting round 9DPO for implantation out of sheer boredom!

Skyla01 · 06/04/2020 18:07

@Juno231 oh yeah I'm totally on the look out for implantation! Have cramps on and off but I often have them the 2nd half of my cycle, think they are related to increasing progesterone levels. So not sure how you would tell the difference? I've never had any bleeding, except for one month (I was so excited!), but it just turned out to be af arriving early.

Adrianoska · 07/04/2020 01:40

HELP! I am now 10dpo. Didn't test yet as I have a bad feeling already... And want to hold on to some hope. Didn't actually have any symptoms. That's new, the previous cycles I had full range of cramps and pains. Nothing now...
I will wee on a cheep test when I wake up. I really really wish it is going to be positive... 🌸

Regarding drinking, we don't drink at all ever and we eat quite healthy. I don't eat meat and I think I am within a healthy bmi...

How are you doing all?

Much love 🌸😘

Juno231 · 07/04/2020 07:39

@Adrianoska fingers crossed for you!! I'm thinking the fact that you don't have any symptoms when you normally do is a good sign :)

Skyla01 · 07/04/2020 08:16

@Adrianoska good luck if you test! When is af due?

I'm due on friday. Not going to test. My AF has an annoying habit of always coming on time (Or early) to save me the bother of testing!
