And a few others who I can't remember their username from memory so please tag yourself :D

Lizzie198, haven't been on the pill for nearly 2 years.. So who knows.. I barely have what I'd call a proper period (body weight is all normal etc).. Guess we all just have to keep positive and one day we will get there..one way or another!

I'd be interested to know how long all you ladies have been TTC for and what your journeys have been up to know? Xx

Also fingers crossed for you on your next cycle Xx

Evening ladies :) 7dpo here and managing to keep sane!

@kiza sorry to hear AF arrived :( :( but thats great news that your acupuncturist has opened back up again. Has there been any word in your IVF start?

@Teadrinker30 welcome :) we have been ttc for 11 months. We conceivef after 4 months but had a mmc at 12 weeks in November and now this is our 5th cycle trying after miscarriage

@lizzie198 sorry it was a bfn this morning. That was a cruel evap yesterday then :(

@Narwhal88 I haven't looked into acupuncture costs yet - is it pricey then?

@Lottiepink yeah I am loving wfh! We won't be going back to the office for a bit yet so will probably be another month minimum of wfh

@Etonmess20 tempted to test?

@Annny27 I was feeling like I wanted to test earlier but I keep getting cramps on & off 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have read that some people still do get cramps but feel like I'm just clutching at straws
Glad you're managing to stay sane, how you feeling? Any symptoms?

@Etonmess20 got fingers crossed for
You.

I'm definitely out. Af has arrived this morning.

Onto next cycle but hopefully with less symptom spotting as now I know they are normal 😊

@lizzie198 really sorry to hear that ☹️

Still no sign for me but ovia isn't predicting it until tomorrow. Cramps coming & going.

Hopefully this cycle is the one for you 🤞🏻

@lizzie198 sorry that AF arrived:( you have a positive attitude 💗 that's so true, atleast you now know whats slightly normal for you in the tww.

@Etonmess20 when I was pregnant I had quite strong cramps around 13-19 dpo so doesn't mean that you are out

@Annny27 thank you, that's comforting to hear actually, it's so difficult to remain positive but not get hopes up too much! 14dpo today so should know either way soon enough
How's things with you?

@Annny27 it's between £45-65 per session I think and you are meant to go every 1-2 weeks so quite a bit per month. Wouldn't be so bad if you could just go once a month!

@Teadrinker30 I've been TTC for 11 months, but 14 cycles now as my cycle is only 25 days. Been referred to fertility specialist and found out my DH sperm is crap basically; very low count, low motility and low morphology. Waiting on tests for me now but all on hold!

@lizzie198 sorry about AF but onto the next cycle and you sound positive :)

Thanks everyone all we can do is keep trying 😊

@Narwhal88 I only have short cycles 25-26 days so my next FWW is in May as well according to my app.

@Etonmess20 how are you?

Morning @lizzie198 not great today tbh, 15dpo & a BFN this morning but no AF 😭 I remember why I don't do HPTs now

How's things with you? X

@Etonmess20 no AF still though that's good 😊 fingers crossed you will still get a bfp.

I'm ok cramps easing now past the first day of AF which is nice.

Very glad for working at home at the moment though can stay in pjs when feeling rubbish haha x

Morning girls :) 9dpo here no symptoms apart from a bit tired haha

@Etonmess20 sorry it was a bfn this morning :( thats so frustrating:(

@Narwhal88 yes a little bit pricey! Think I will give it a go though if I don't conceive soon haha

@lizzie198 yep wfh does have pj benefits haha

@Annny27 @lizzie198 thanks for being so supportive, I know it does sometimes happen but think I need to be realistic today that a BFN means it's not happened this cycle. I think if I had a good google I'd just be giving myself false hopes ☹️

I am all about the wfh in pyjamas btw, DP & I went to view a couple of houses on Saturday & it was the first time I'd worn jeans in 9 weeks 😂😂

@etonmess20 so sorry re your BFN. 😔 It's so dissapointing. Just be kind to yourself, plenty of treats Xx

I'm just trying the whole "keep relaxed thing"... Slowly driving myself round the bend.. Even stopped running as worried I was over exercising...feels like you can't do right for wrong and everything is on hold!

@Teadrinker30 thank you x

I agree re putting your life on hold, I am sometimes mindful about stuff like that although I do HIIT workouts. I think if it's something you should enjoy you should carry on x

@etonmess20 it's tricky re exercise isn't it? Ive been doing HIIt as well but I honestly don't know what you should and shouldn't be doing during the dreaded TWW..

My new ovulation saliva test Maybe Baby is on it's way so I'll keep you all posted what it's like 😊

Going to use the Cheap one step OPK's alongside it to compare this month.

@Teadrinker30 I just think of all these people who aren't TTC & just carry on their normal lives drinking, exercising etc
I've had cycles where I'be done certain things & not done certain things & still haven't been successful so I don't know what the right thing is, in truth I don't think there is a right answer x

@lizzie198 sounds interesting! Keep us updated 😊.

@etonmess20, completely agree.. Xx

Hello everyone! I am ttc my first child. DH and I have been trying since we got married in Sept to no avail. He was working offshore and gone for weeks at a time until March of this year. So it's only been since march that we have been able to ttc every ovulation period. I have been tracking ovulation with opks. I am really hoping this month will be our month and for everyone else as well. :-)

Hi Ladies,
@Annny27 I tried phoning my consultant a few times but no one ever answers the phone so just have to wait I imagine.
Accupuncture can be pricey, I started out once a fortnight for the first month and then went to monthly. All the Accupuncturists I've spoken to have said the only time they recommend once a week is during the IVF procedure due to the strain on your body with all the injections.

@lizzie198 sorry about AF, think we are cycle buddies at the moment cd 3 for me.

@Etonmess20 any AF symptoms? How was the house viewings? Wondering how it felt doing it with social distancing?

@Teadrinker30 I wouldn't stress about exercise. I stopped weight lifting for 6 months to see if it made a difference and nada. As long as it's something you've always done then you should be fine.

@Attybae welcome to the group ☺️

Have any of you ladies tried Agnus Castus? Just bought some (seem to buy something new every month!) 😆
