3dpo and looking for TTC friends

[Lolliloo1234]

Hi,

I’m 29 and on cycle 2 of TTC. I’m 3dpo and now in my two week wait. I have no friends with children or anyone who is TTC so looking for online buddies to ride this out with!

Anybody in the same boat as me who wants to chat and be a little neurotic together?

Xx

Quick reply as I must get to bed... I think lh can surge again just before AF around when your progesterone drops, but it's also very similar in structure to HCG so it could mean either.

I've been taking a mixture of evening primrose, multivitamins, vitamin b and coenz q10. I tend to alternate them rather than all together and folic acid on the days I don't have a multivitamin (most important one!) I can't say I've noticed much difference tbh.
Raspberry tea is ace- I drank loads when I was trying to go into labour! Tastes lovely in the summer cold and think it's supposed to improve the uterus blood flow or something. Can't harm anyway!

Well I’m having a bloody nightmare day - still not AF just one wipe with brown CM. Something is definitely not right down there and I’m pretty convinced I have an infection. Doctors phone appointment and a pharmacy trip imminent. Absolutely no pregnancy symptoms.

@lolliloo1234 why don't you do a pg test? A lot of ppl dont get symptoms and if AF hasn't arrived it might be why!

@Sammyclaire22 just did one and BFN

Oh @Lolliloo1234 😫 very annoying.
What makes you think it's an infection? I sometimes get spotting on first day of AF. Does your GP surgery offer econsult? X

@mrsmummy111 classic thrush/BV symptoms really and I’ve had so much watery discharge the past two weeks without any relief or it getting better. My period never does this either so it’s really odd. Longest luteal phase ever 😂😂😂

@mrsmummy111 I have private healthcare so I’ve got a video call at 4:30 thank goodness

Oh Christ yeah. What a ballache.
You know canesten actually sell kits to test for thrush / BV now, I had to use one once and it was accurate.
Probably all that DTD, your body didn't know what was going on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Erm, AF has just turned up on CD 27! Weirdest thing ever. I'm normally always 28-30 days so maybe I didn't ovulate when I thought I did!

@mrsmummy111 doctors prescribed me antibiotics, picking them up tomorrow and they’re TTC safe so there’s clearly no stopping me now 😂😂😂 She actually said that TTC can mess with your cycles.
How strange - at least the quicker it’s arrived, the sooner it’s over with and your can start trying again!

Sorry to hear that @Lolliloo1234 hopefully they can prescribe you something to help quickly.

Boo to AF! Are you ok @mrsmummy111?

Think my frer has given me an evap, v v faint and pretty sure there is no colour to it. Enough to make me hopeful for a few mins though!

Thanks @Sammyclaire22 but yes actually relieved weirdly enough. I was 99.9% sure I was out as I knew I had zero symptoms, and I've convinced myself I'll just "know" when I'm actually pg, so I feel oddly relieved that it's shown up early as it means the stressful waiting period is over for this month and we can start trying again sooner!

I definitely wouldn't rule it out immediately as evap! How many days DPO are you? Do you have any more tests?

@Lolliloo1234 Fingers crossed the antibiotics get to work quickly and you're not feeling too ropey! X

Morning ladies, how are you all this morning? So my temp chart has changed this morning and is now saying I ovulated late day 26. I got a BFN on a pregnancy test yesterday as I thought I was 14 DPO (days post ovulation) and then this morning my chart changed so confusing.

Ok here, bfn frer this morning and I thought I was out but I've had more spotting today (day 3 spotting, 11dpo I think) which is now unusual for me, usually just one or two days. Feeling a bit sick too but think thats all in my head! Roll on AF to calm my brain!

Its annoying when the app changes things- has it put you forward or back?

Morning everyone!! Day one of antibiotics for me and really pleased to be on the mend - AF is really odd today so hopefully it’ll sort itself out! Has anyone ever taken chasteberry before?

@Suki2020 when I used to temp it would change constantly!! Have you tried the Sperm meets egg method of conception yet? It’s supposed to guarantee sperm and egg meetings regardless of temp? We’re going to try it this cycle.

@Sammyclaire sorry to hear it was likely an evap - I’m hoping it’s just too early to tell for you and that you’ll get your BFP. If not, great for us that we have you to chat to for another month!

@lolliloo1234 glad you are feeling better. No I’ve never heard of sperm meets egg method. What is it? I’ve never had by line change on the chart before. If the chart is right then I’m now only 5DPO. I’ve had a headache last two days and pain today down below (sorry too much info) never had that before. Might be just reading too much into things now though.

@Sammyclaire22 there is still a chance as you are only spotting as you are only 11dpo fingers crossed for you

@Suki2020

@lolliloo1234 thank you

I mentioned SMEP to DH and tried to explain how it worked and he just looked at me like I was stoned.

Maybe I didn't explain it very well 🤣

Whether he likes it or not, that's what we're doing though. Which OPKs are you girls using? I ordered cheap amazon ones but in fairness I've never even used them before. How many times a day are you supposed to use them? What time of day is best? Any advice welcome xx

@mrsmummy111 I don’t bother discussing things like that with DP, he just gets come on to according to my schedule 😂😂 he just wants to come up with names etc for our hypothetical children.

I can’t be much help with the OPKs because I tried to use the cheapie ones and couldn’t get on with them as I never caught my surge. I use the clearblue digital but I know they’re expensive.

I've been trying to kind of follow the smep plan the last few cycles, I seem to ovulate about cd11 though so basically as soon as AF finishes it's every other day until my peak then we try to dtd every day. Generally we only manage about 3 times in the fw though. I just tell my oh it's game on and he's happy with that. We had issues in the past with him feeling under pressure so I don't share any of the ttc stress tbh. Last thing we need at crucial time is a no show!

I use wilko opks- i bought a job lot on Amazon but they gave me high readings all over the place and freaked me out. Back to wilko and it's plain and simple. I can post a screen shot from my femometer app if thats a help? It has intelligent recognition so works out how strong the line is for you.

I usually test about 6pm, habit really but I read the afternoon or evening is better but generally the same time each day. My peaks tend to last at least 24 hours but if yours seem a short or you miss it then it's supposed to be every 4 hours once you get a high reading (according to my app). I use bbt too plus i track cm and they all seem to correlate within a day or so that's good!

Pretty sure AF is arriving tomorrow already gearing up for the May bus! Got loads of random jobs done round the house today to keep busy so that's one silver lining

Happy Saturday ladies!
CD5 here and AF is gone. My app predicts I will ovulate on CD14 (but obviously could be a few days out, who really knows). When should I start using OPKs?

Also I was wondering if I posted my results on here would you girls be able to help me work out what's going on. I've never used them before and am really confused!

@mrsmummy111 Happy Saturday lovely!

God you’re lucky - I’m also CD5 and no sign of AF pissing off for me. I have a 7 day AF normally so I’m in it for the long haul.

I use the CB so again, someone else might have a different idea but their guidance is that if you have a 28 day cycle you start testing on CD8, 29 day cycle CD9 etc etc. I’m no expert though!

Although, post away with the results as I’ve read enough threads on here now to work out what you’re looking for.

Hi everyone.
I named changed but was dimosaur in here...!
Just wanted to update... Bfp today 10dpo!

Hope everyone is keeping well, and baby dust to all of you!
