@Fredthespider oh my God hun, I'm so so sorry x I really still hope it is still there, just too tiny to be seen on the scan x I really hope it's just a bit camera shy x If it is a miscarriage then please be kind to yourself and have some quality time with your OH x I know it might sound harsh , but I have been there and I dwelled on it for over a month and it put quite a strain on our relationship x don't make that mistake but do take your time to be sad, just remember your OH will be down too, this is certainly something I forgot when I had MC x

I still really hope it's there and all will be ok xx lots of love your way x

@Fredthespider oh i’m so sorry to hear you are having such a bad time i keep everything cross for you send you bigs hugs x

@Fredthespider I am so sorry. What an awful thing to go through. Sending you a lot of love and positivity. It is so hard.

I have already written off this FW. I havent been doing OPKs and been so distracted with the move, I'm probably due to ovulate on Friday or saturday based on previous months so will try to fit in DTD but if not will just write it off this month. I feel okay about it as it is actually helping me not be so obsessed this month and thinking about it constantly. Also once we have moved and fully settled I can concentrate more on it all. My grandma also has around 1 week to live so been thinking about that a lot. Too much going on!!!

@Fredthespider oh my god, I'm so, so sorry.. my heart hurts for you. Always feels like a stupid thing to say but I honestly hope you're OK. Sounds like your OH is supportive though which is really good to hear.
Bless you for coming back to the thread!! We're all here for you 110% ❤️ xxx

@Fredthespider I'm so sorry 🙏🤗 please take it easy and I hope you're getting all the support you need. X

@Symptomspotter86 I'm due to ovulate on Sunday, so not far behind you.

I'm actually bored of trying to be Frank

@ellsbells112 ah cycle buddies this time! Yay :)

Aw @Fredthespider I’m so sorry you are going through this anxious time. I hope it all works out for you but we’re all here for you for virtual hugs and support xxx

@Fredthespider oh Jesus I am so so sorry! I can't even imagine how you must be feeling. Sending a massive massive hug your way, and I seriously deep down hope that everything works out xx

@Fredthespider so very sorry. I pray you and OH can cling to each other during this time.

@fredthespider also wanted to share how sorry I am your going through this. The waiting for definite news is also the longest wait ever. It's heartbreaking so I hope everything works out for you but please also take time I think it's the loss of al the wonderful plans you have too. Sending you my love ❤️

@ellsbells112 I hear ya sister. I'm not 'trying' next month. Nope never not at all. No OPKs nothing.

Oh hell, I'm crazy to a whole new level... warning TMI alert!

Just went to the loo and noticed a few tiny sports of pink/red in my kickers within CM (which I have shit loads of today and I'm normally as dry as the Sahara this time of the month). So there I am picking and fiddling with it trying to see if it's blood or maybe just fluff from the red fleecy PJs I was wearing this morning 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐 only my vagina will ever know the truth in all this. Also been cramping the last few days and post ovulation sore nipples are absent.

@Beau2020x yeah I'm literally doing opks this month just to use them up because they're so bloody expensive. I know when I ovulate it's not even needed 😕 I'm not taking my temperature anymore either I'm literally like eff it lol

I'm sorry to hear what you're going through @fredthespider

TMI
Has anyone experienced really bad farts in the late luteal phase?
I've had a week of really bad farts and I'm sick of it. It's uncontrollable and never happened to me before :'(

@ChrissyLove20 omg I am dying at that 😂😂😂 yes I do! More towards the time AF is due. They are awful honestly. I think mine is more related to the impending AF related bloating

@Beau2020x it was funny at first 😅 now I'm getting embarrassed. My 6 year old has spent the day telling me I stink 😅 and my poor DH is having the window open every evening. I just found it odd as it doesn't happen to me.
I also very rarely fart in front of DH but these are uncontrollable. What do I do 😫😅

@Ellsbells112 @Beau2020x this is literally how I feel this cycle. Fuck the opks fuck the daily vitamins fuck the constant fingering for the EWCM 🤣 just so done with it all. Need a mental break.

Morning all x how are we?
@Beau2020x how many DPO are you? Are you around implantation window? Fingers crossed it was some pinkish spots meaning implantation 🤞🤞
@Ellsbells112 I think I’m going to do the same next cycle. Fuck the opks. I’ll continue on with folic acid and primrose oil though 🤣
Well I am now 1DPO. My OH came back yesterday and we managed to DTD! 💪 I had some O pins yesterday and noticed a bit of EWCM, so primrose oil must have helped because I haven’t seen it before. So as it stands we DTD 3 and 2 days before O and on O day x hopefully we’re have the fighting chance 🤞
Btw, have you ever looked into conception rates on your app? My Femometer always says that O day is most fertile but Ovia always has highest fertility score 2 days before. I wonder why so different?
Let the TWW madness begin. Where is everyone else in their cycle? x

@katie1109 oh do you carry on primrose oil or have stop now ov been ? i’m 8 dpo i’m going try last out until weekend but haven’t got any symptom so not to positive but there alway 🤞🏻

@Mrslane2019 I have stopped it now. I have read that it should be taken only up to ovulation because it can cause uterus contractions in the TWW and bring af forward or prevent implantation x 8DPO for you so not long to wait now, fingers crossed 🤞 x

@Katie1109 I'm 5/6DPO today (apps predict 2 different days). Sooo glad you managed to DTD eeek! I'm 100% out, only DTD 2 or 3 days before OV so I've got no chance. OH said yesterday although we aren't 'trying' he fells like sex isn't sex anymore. He is right to be fair. CBA with this all, how do some couples have a really keep TTC partner because I don't! He wants the baby but not the baby sex! Grrrr.

As for the conception rates, I think the day before is mean't to be highest, because it can take anything from 30 mins to 12 hours for sperm to reach cervix, then they have to swim to Fallopian tubes. So if you DTD they day before they are there waiting for the egg ready.

@Beau2020 hi there x my ovia says 2 days before is highest and femometer O day as highest. None of them say day before so God knows what it actually is. We DTD 2 and 3 days before, missed a day before and DTD O day. I don't know whether to try to keep positive mindset or just write this cycle off. I keep wondering why I had 2 peaks and whether it is possible that I ovulated after my first peak and not the second. If that was the case I would be 3DPO today and would have covered it much better - would be 3 days before, day before and O day. I just would much rather be 3DPO now and not 1 lol, its depressing. Fingers crossed for you hun x anymore spotting?

@katie1109 @Beau2020x @Symptomspotter86 yup I think we are all fed up lol but I wish you all the luck! when I looked at charts online it puts the day of and day before as highest success rate x
What do you girls think, I just checked my cervix it's low and hard and I've had no ovulation pain also opks negative but I had a glob of ewcm lol I'm cd11, normally ovulate cd15. You think there is a point in dtd? I know people will say there's no harm. In doing more but in my situation there is because we burn out quick lol shall I just wait for cd14? We can do it cd14 and cd15 then

@ellsbells112 Oh don't even take my advice on cervix's as mine seems to do the total opposite of what it's supposed to do around ovulation hahaa. Would you be able to do it tonight and then CD14-15? If you are seeing EWCM then I'd deffo go for it. How many days of EWCM do you usually get? SMEP would plan you to do it CD11, 13, 14 & 15 if you ovulate on CD15 - I think...?
