@Mumofboys17 I'd say ovulation was either today or yesterday or 10000% DTD for good measures! You are still fertile day after ovulation remember as egg survives 24 hours - go for it 😍

Missgoldilocks · 16/03/2020 20:56

Hey ladies how are we all? I just git back from Amsterdam, lucky too since the whole city shut down today! Crazy, there was like 7 people on our flight!

@Mumofboys17 @Beau20 how many dpo are you guys? Or still fertile? I think I will ovulate on Friday this week.

Hope everyone is okay! I'm still waiting on the bloody sperm results 😩 apparently I should hopefully get them this week

Beau20 · 16/03/2020 21:08

@Missgoldilocks ooohhh hope you had a lovely time?! I bet that was bliss having a quiet flight - it's my dream that, 7 people on a plane 😂😂😂

Eurghhh no idea for me. Either 8 or 2DPO - who knows! I've not had a significant or sustained temp rise so probs haven't ovulated. Last weekend ovulation symptoms were through the roof but not a high high peak (still peak though) and this weekend not so many symptoms, no pains at all and one day of EWCM but a blazing positive OPK 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ I genuinely give up. In fact, you asking there was the first time I even thought about DPO's. I don't even know when AF is due 😂😂😂

Beau20 · 16/03/2020 21:09

@Missgoldilocks where are you in your cycle?

Missgoldilocks · 16/03/2020 21:38

@Beau20 😂😂😂 it definitely was bliss!! Had a great time, nice get away with the mister 😊 happy to be back home and getting our little kitty tomorrow!! Excitinggg

Aww damn that must be frustrating! In that instance SMEP is probably best! Just dtd every 2 days so you know you're hitting it somewhere!?

I'm cd10 today, ill ovulate on Friday or Saturday. I've started robuttisin (however you spell it) cough medicine today for ewcm so let's see if it works!!

Mumofboys17 · 16/03/2020 21:47

@Beau20 cool, well we got it done 😂 just 2 weeks to wait now to see if our efforts were worth it or not 😫 bloody hate the TWW!

@Missgoldilocks I love Amsterdam!! We've wanted to go back since before DS was born! X
I think my ovulation day was today, so TWW starts tomorrow for me. Our first of 2 holidays got cancelled today due to stupid coronavirus so spose being preggers could take my mind off it 🙄 (trying the blasé approach when I'm just as TTC psychotic as ever if you can't tell) 😬😂😂

Missgoldilocks · 16/03/2020 22:56

@Mumofboys17 😂😂😂💐💐Aww haha well good luck for your 2ww! Sorry about your holiday though!! Is it Disney that's been cancelled? 🤗🤗 Fingrs crossed your pregnant this month and it will defo take your mind off it!

BFP2020 · 16/03/2020 23:11

Wow I literally missed 2 days trying to catch up ye really chat ALOT 🤣🤣 temp dropped yesterday morning and AF arrived for me about 9am kinda happy my long cycle is over my first cycle over 30 days(34 days it was torture) in 14 cycles. On to lucky cycle 15 maybe it will happen this month 🙈🙈

I see so many of you getting fed up and disheartened and I was exactly like that TTC my first and even after a few cycles this time. But just know it will happen it just takes some of us longer!! It happened the month I least expected on my first it took 2 years!! Xxx

I'm staying positive and maybe I won't need the laparoscopy after all 😘

Katie1109 · 17/03/2020 07:14

Morning everyone x
@Mumofboys17 welcome in TWW I guess? 😂 @Beau20 love your comments on your DPO 😂 maybe 2 maybe 8 lol 😂
@Missgoldilocks ahhh I love Amsterdam! Glad you managed to get back ok x that flight must have been almost like a private charter lol x
Well ladies we DTD yesterday - so did peak, day and two days after x just looked at my calendar and we actually followed SMEP apart from 1 day x break today and probably naturally will DTD tomorrow if we’re in the mood x so today I’m 2DPO. My LP is usually 12 days so af due on the 28th x looks like I’ll have a 26 day cycle, which is on the short side, but not worrying because I ovulated 2 days earlier than usual anyway 😊when is everyone else due af?

Mumofboys17 · 17/03/2020 07:19

@Missgoldilocks Yep the Disney one 😭 DS is still telling everyone he's going to see Mickey Mouse 🙁 I don't want to upset or confuse him (he's only 2) by saying we now can't go. DH said this morning we could just take him to peppa pig world instead 😂😂 definitely no comparison in my book haha but desperate times!! Unless they close that and all!!! 🙄

@Katie1109 haha yep TWW indeed! Aahh we're TWW buddies this week then!! ❤️

@BFP2020 I know what you mean.. took us 18 months for DS!! We're only 8 months in this time so far but it's still hard isn't it 😫
Positive vibes only... we'll all get there eventually!! X

LV1987 · 17/03/2020 07:31

@Katie1109 I'm in a similar boat to @Beau20... Might by CD 9, might be CD 16, I just don't know 🤔 I think I may have had some EWCM this morning, but as I seemed to get that at random times last cycle, it's not much of an indicator just yet! Still just hitting and hoping for now :)

Beau20 · 17/03/2020 09:09

@Katie1109 honestly I haven't an effing clue where I am in my cycle! If there's no AF by 30th then I'll consider testing. And I've only just worked that out now hahaa. If I ovulated 9 days ago then I had the PERFECT DTD schedule, like I was so proud of it. But if it was 3 days ago then I never DTD at all. Of course, it will have been 3 days ago...my temp has risen everrrrr so slightly....

Looks like a few of us are in the TWW together!

Katie1109 · 17/03/2020 10:07

@Beau20 lol ! Do you know what, that's probably the best situation to be in. At least you're not sure whether you should or shouldn't feel any symptoms yet. Just relax for the next 10 days or so and I'm sure you'll now either way then x fingers crossed for you x
@LV1987 just get DTD either way, every other day and then you should be covered x
@Mumofboys17 yaayy TWW buddies! is your af due around 28th? x

Mumofboys17 · 17/03/2020 10:10

@Katie1109 AF due 24th according to Ovia, 29th according to Glow..... soooo yeah, let's say 28th 🤷🏼‍♀️😂😂 xx

OP posts:
Katie1109 · 17/03/2020 10:22

@Mumofboys17 loooooool 😂😂 do you know how long your LP is? It usually doesn’t vary more than a day each month, if at all x that might give you a better indication! Check your previous cycles x

Mumofboys17 · 17/03/2020 10:27

@Katie1109 not 100% sure but I think it tends to be about 11 days (give or take), so that would make it 27th March if I count yesterday as O day.
But knowing what my body is like and my cycles seem to go up and down.. it's subject to change 😂 but gives me a good estimate I spose!! Xx

Beau20 · 17/03/2020 12:29

Got my blood results back girls (next day wow) and my progesterone is 13 😭😭 she said I am probably still ovulating as if you didn't it would be like 1 but that is very low. So she wants to do them again in the next couple of days. She said if I ovulated 9 days ago that is far far too low but if I only ovulated on 2nd peak then I may not be at peak progesterone yet. She also said it was very very weird to have 2 peaks in one month. So it's all going well for me 😂😂😂 at least I now know I am 100% waiting for AF so not TWW symptom spotting for me

Beau20 · 17/03/2020 12:51

Booked in for more progesterone bloods tomorrow. Coronavirus is doing wonders for my fertility tests - GPs have nothing else to do as they cancelled all appointments 😂

Mumofboys17 · 17/03/2020 13:08

@Beau20 that's good that you're actually getting seen! Not good about the results. Worries me the part you say about 2 peaks as my own OPK's were all over the place this cycle 🙁 if I get another BFN (which let's be honest, would be likely!) think I'm going to try and get the ball rolling with my own Dr's again x

OP posts:
Mumofboys17 · 17/03/2020 13:09

@Beau20 I'm guessing you've already told your doc about it but you know you CAN get pregnant though don't you? From past experience? Surely that's got to count for something in your favour xx

Hayleylou89 · 17/03/2020 13:29

@Beau20

Hi just wondering how did u get ur levels checked did u just ask the drs id love to check if mine are ok after my loss? X x

Beau20 · 17/03/2020 13:36

@Mumofboys17 yeah she seemed really puzzled when I said I had 2 possible ovulations (and this GP is a fertility/family planning specialist).

I had my bloods bang on day 21 which she said is weird that they were so low but having them done again is a good thing. Although she said they won't do anything for low progesterone for a year so 4 months to wait! She said multiple peaks are usually down to PCOS but she doesn't think I have this as my cycles are relatively regular.

Beau20 · 17/03/2020 13:39

@Hayleylou89 I went to my GP on my 8th cycle knowing full well they would probably turn me away until 12 months. However I had a chemical in Jan and that teamed with my really short luteal phase and light periods I managed to get her to check my bloods. I made sure I went to see a GP that specialises in fertility so that she would take me seriously.

Alternatively you can pay to do it privately

LV1987 · 17/03/2020 17:27

Well that's me done in the office for the foreseeable future. All employees within the "at risk" category have now been asked to work from home, pending further guidance. I'm asthmatic, so I think it's probably best. So weird saying goodbye to my colleagues though, not knowing when I would be back again! I'm going to be really thankful for video conferencing soon I bet 😂

Mumofboys17 · 17/03/2020 18:01

@LV1987 I've been thinking about this.. latest guidance says pregnant women should self isolate for 12 weeks... so does that mean if we get a BFP we have to tell work sooner than we'd like to?? 😕 ideally I'd like to keep it to myself as long as possible but coronavirus has me second guessing everything!!
Of course this is all hypothetical, I'm 1dpo and already talking like I'm 6 months gone 😂😂
