Anyone starting a new cycle?

[Raizelrea]

My AF just arrived so I was wondering if anyone was in a similar place to keep each other company through next month's insanity?

I'm 32, been TTC DC1 since we got married last June. Admittedly we put in more effort some months than others but it is starting to get to me now.

@littlepeas2 feeling a bit defeated this month to be honest! Was my fertile week this week but never got a positive OPK so I'm not sure I've ovulated? Had sharp twinge on the left ovary on Thursday that might have been an indicator but I don't think I get that normally so could just be symptom spotting.

I'm not holding my breath but stupidly I also keep thinking that because I feel like it was a write off it might not be as things happen when you least expect them to! Silly brain...

I'm CD13, due to ovulate around CD16 but I'm away with work, haven't had any increase in CM whatsoever so no BD so far this month - I'm really not feeling it at all after all the wasted effort last month!

@Juno231 oh no that must be so frustrating. I haven’t used any OPKS so far as I’m worried I will become to caught up on them. Crazy how our mind can be so strong too isn’t it. When is AF due?

@3isthemagic life just gets in the way sometimes doesn’t it! So hard to always make it priority isn’t it!

5dpo today xx af due next weekend xx praying she doesn't arrive xx

I've decided not to do OPK this cycle, just going to relax and see if it just happens without stressing about planning! First AF since miscarriage and it was different, 7 days long (I'm usually 4-5) so not sure if my usual ovulation day will be slightly off too. I usually ovulate cycle day 13-14. Im on cycle day 10. We'll soon see!! It's so frustrating and exhausting isn't it. I try not to get too caught up in it all, but it's so hard not to symptom spot and get hopes up etc.

@Raizelrea I'm just sticking to folic acid, vitamin D at the moment. I'm trying to drink more water, exercise and incorporate more veg (bought a juicer!).

@Littlepeas2 AF is due 21st so I'm intrigued as to what will happen!

Hi can I join I'm 27 and just finished AF today (I hope) I'm 8 days into my cycle. This is month 3 of TTC and I'm off the pill.

Had a lot of issues coming off and I'm hoping things will settle now and I'll actually ovulate this month.

Hey! How’s everyone doing? Is anyone in their TWW yet?

Think I might be out this month, or slim chance at best. Not bought OPK this cycle (regretting it now) I'm on cycle day 13 and usually ovulate around now. Not having any signs that it's happening. Also having lots of spotting on and off...Feeling deflated at the moment!

I'm theoretically 5 DPO and just twiddling my thumbs! DTD 3 times in the five days leading up to the day my app said ovulation would be so hopefully we're in with a chance even though I have no clue if/when I ovulated.

Trying hard not to symptom spot and think I'll be able to hold off testing until the 18th. AF is due 21st...

Oh @Smarties87 there’s still time yet!

@Juno231 the dreaded TWW!! I’m in my fertile week and I haven’t managed to DTD yet 😭 I’m due to ovulate Sunday so haven’t quite missed the boat I hope! Trying not to symptom spot is the worst! Before I came on here I thought I was the only crazy lady doing it 🤣

So I should be in my fertile week but instead AF has just arrived 2 weeks early so means I only had a 16 day cycle. This is a new one on me! 🤷🏼‍♀️
