@Mumofboys17 don’t give up! This can still be your BFP!

Katie1109 · 17/02/2020 07:12

@Mumofboys17 I feel you hun x don’t Give up please x just remember majority of time implantation doesn’t happen until 9DPO and it can happen up to 12 x I know you know this, but sometimes we all need to be reminded x just try to chill x it will happen for all of us x look at my Ovia from last cycle, I thought exactly the same, how the hell did I not get pregnant?! A lot of time it’s just pure luck hun x
Well ladies I am 1DPO today. Of course already convinced myself we haven’t done enough and to be fair we probably did not. DTD on Sat morning before I knew I had my peak, then didn’t manage to DTD until yesterday evening. I felt O pains from 7pm onwards and we DTD around 9pm x
Where are you ladies in your cycle? x

@Katie1109 thank you for your lovely words, you're right I do know this by now haha but it does help to read it from someone else sometimes xxx Yep yours looks similar to mine! Don't bloody understand it at all 😫

10dpo today and feel nothing, refuse to consider testing any more unless AF is late.. and let's me honest it probably be will be as mine always is!! 😅 ffs lol
Happy Monday!!! ❤️

Beau20 · 17/02/2020 08:40

@Mumofboys17 I am absolutely not testing until I am 2 days past AF due date IF I get that far this month. And if I am testing I'm doing it with OH present. Try to not test until at least 14dpo this time if you can.

CBA with this shit. We will get there, I know it. I'm just one impatient bitch hahaha x

Mumofboys17 · 17/02/2020 08:44

@Beau20 yep me too!! It's like I've said before I found out so quickly with my first so just assumed I'd be able to this time.
Still feel like I'm out but that teeny tiny glimmer of hope keeps me going til AF sometimes 😫 it's just a nightmare isn't it.. xx

Mumofboys17 · 17/02/2020 08:46

Just checked my apps and Glow reckons AF is due in 4 days! 😐 I've deffo got to be out then 😂😂

Katie1109 · 17/02/2020 09:05

My af is due 1st/2nd of March according to my various apps lol x I've got a stack of IC's so early testing is inevitable...although I'd love to just leave it and not test x
@Mumofboys17 I used Glow last year and it was never accurate! I found Premom and Ovia are always spot on x

Mumofboys17 · 17/02/2020 09:11

@Katie1109 normally Ovia is bang on but Glow was bang on with my O day this cycle whereas Ovia and Femometer predicted a week later! AF predictions are all over the place to be fair but so are my cycles.
Ovia reckons AF isn't due til next week and I reckon that's more accurate x
This all gives me such a headache 😫

Ellsbells112 · 17/02/2020 09:57

Yeah the apps can mess you about sometimes, you gotta know how long your luteal phase is because that never changes no matter what, so if you ovulate early or later the length of LP remains the same. So example mines 14 days so I know from the day I ovulate af will come in 14 days. That's what I read anyway, that the LP stays the and ovulation date can vary causing different lengths of cycles

Mumofboys17 · 17/02/2020 10:21

@Ellsbells112 that's really interesting.. I'll have to look back through my dates and see if that works out. In my head I'm not 100% sure that's the case (without looking at the figures) otherwise why would I have a 28 day cycle then a 40 day cycle 😕 why is this so bloody confusing!!!! I just want a baby ffs not asking for the world! 😫 arrghh.

Beau20 · 17/02/2020 10:52

@Ellsbells112 @Mumofboys17 I wouldn't be so sure about the luteal phase, mine is anything from 8-13 days GOD HELP ME! I haven't had one single cycle in the last 6 months where it has been the same. Probs why I'm not pregnant.

@Ellsbells112 but you are right - in theory it should be the same every single month.

Katie1109 · 17/02/2020 11:02

@Beau20 I'm with you on that x My LP varies between 11-14 days. Last cycle it was 14, cycle before that it was 12 x This cycle I'm predicted 14 days again, but I doubt that very much x In the past when I had O day on CD14 my LP was 12 days x So I would expect af to show on around 29th of Feb x

Mrslane2019 · 17/02/2020 11:15

Hey girls

Hope you had are all ok ?

so i'm 6dpo today has anyone every come across like having a electric shock up you lady parts I had it yesterday when I was shopping stop me right in my tracks and today feel lots of pressure today almost like I got uti werid feeling :-S

Beau20 · 17/02/2020 11:18

@mrslane2019 Yes I've had this before, noooo idea what it is! I had it about 6-7dpo every time I've had it too! Literally felt like someone was electrocuting me.

Trixie999 · 17/02/2020 11:47

Hello! Jumping on the band wagon if that's ok! Started to think I was going crazy, like I was the only one who felt this way, so this thread is so refreshing. Makes me realise I'm not alone.
My DH and I started trying in June, fell pregnant in October, MC at 7 weeks and ate now trying again. But I feel like maybe I'm being a bit too forceful with it? Im logging everything so I know what's happening and when, and when we need to crack on with it 😂
Love reading all your stories, you're all very inspiring!

Katie1109 · 17/02/2020 13:59

@Mrslane2019 I am really not trying to get your hopes up, but the only time I have wrote down what you're describing was when I was 9DPO when I fell pregnant last year, sadly I miscarried but I'm sure that feeling had nothing to do with it x I haven't felt it since x

Katie1109 · 17/02/2020 14:25

Can someone please explain to me what the hell is going on with my opks? I had a peak on Saturday, didn’t bother testing Sunday, partially because I could feel O pains. This morning LH was lighter and now it’s in full blown peak again?! When am I actually ovulating? CD15 today x

New thread for the crazy gang - part 3!
Mumofboys17 · 17/02/2020 14:35

@Katie1109 maybe you didn't quite ovulate on the weekend and were gearing up to it? I'm wondering if that's why I buggered up this month, waited til I got my CB static smiley, went by cvm and didn't bother testing after. Maybe I missed it by a day 😕 genuinely don't see any other reason I missed it this time x

Katie1109 · 17/02/2020 14:41

@Mumofboys17 but I had my usual O pains yesterday afternoon/evening 😭 if today is my actual peak and I do not ovulate until tomorrow then I may as well write this month out now and don’t bother, my OH is away until Wednesday evening now 😭 I hate this shit!

Katie1109 · 17/02/2020 14:46

Just looked at my resting heart rate as well, this has dropped by another 5bpm which would indicate ovulation today...I cannot believe it! What a waste of time. DTD day before clearly doesn't work for us, we've done it for 8 months now and nothing, so if we don't DTD today then there no chance in hell for BFP :( oh FML!

Beau20 · 17/02/2020 14:47

@katie1109 I'd say the 1st peak you had wasn't a peak and the most recent peak IS your peak - if that makes sense? I had ovulation pains this time around about 5 days leading up to ovulation but the pain had stopped about the day before I got my actual peak.

I always thought the ovulation pain was actual ovulation but for me it just seems to be caused by the maturing follicle and has stopped before I ovulate.

Beau20 · 17/02/2020 14:49

@Katie1109 don't loose hope! Last time I conceived and wasn't tracking, I thought ovulation was CD 14 (because of the pains) so ALWAYS DTD CD13 and I clearly never ovulated until CD16-17. I gave up after CD14 every time and still got pregnant so you still have a chance!

Mumofboys17 · 17/02/2020 15:06

Fuck my actual life. So maybe I've been doing it wrong all this entire bloody time?! 😨🤬 now I've got to wait another 4 weeks before I can even try again!!!

Katie1109 · 17/02/2020 15:07

Ehh...thanks ladies x I think I’ll stick to writing this month off. Just texted my OH saying I think I’m ovulating today or tomorrow to which he replied ‘oh, sorry there’s still next month’. I’m fuming 😤

Mumofboys17 · 17/02/2020 15:14

@Katie1109 I'm right there with you babe. I'm more angry at myself than anything! I always drop the OPK's as soon as I get a peak or result so just assumed that was it. Makes so much bloody sense now.
Telling you... NEXT CYCLE IS THE CYCLE! We can have December babies together 😩😂
