Hello, I'm new here Smile
I'm 34 and TTC number 2. My first is 11 with my ex partner. This is our first cycle of trying. I "should" be ovulating but no CM. Anyone else lacking in that area?

Lauralozzle · 27/06/2020 10:22

@helia Yes, TTC our first. The apps alone aren’t enough for me, even though they’re great. I can ovulate between CD 13 and CD18 - have nearly no EWCM or have it for five days straight and ovulation 2 days after it. It confuses the apps!

Don’t think we’ll do much this weekend, I love going out for a walk but it’s going to be rainy all day!! As boring as it sounds, might have to actually tidy the house today!!!

@Welliesandwishes and @purley welcome!

Welliesandwishes · 27/06/2020 10:31

Thanks for the welcome @lauralozzle
I forgot how crazy the symptom spotting gets 🙈
I'm on a cleaning mission today too! Secretly love a rainy day at home to get stuff done...

Hello @Welliesandwishes and @Purley!

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 13:50

Hi how are you lovely ladies getting on? Anyone else in there tww?

2020mission · 30/06/2020 14:05

@Suki2020 👋🏻 I'm in my 2WW but very early on still. Not due AF until the 14th. How about you?

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 14:12

@2020mission I’m 9DPO AF due on 6th July. How long have you been trying for?

Purley · 30/06/2020 14:38

I'm in my TWW, due AF on 10th July. I keep googling early symptoms etc but haven't felt much, maybe I'm too optimistic! Might wait until 12th before I test, fingers and toes crossed...

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 14:46

@purley, how many DPO are you?

Purley · 30/06/2020 14:59

@Suki2020 I'm 5 DPO, this is only our first try so I don't want to get my hopes up!

2020mission · 30/06/2020 15:01

@Suki2020 5th cycle for me. Have you been tying long?

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 15:07

@2020mission I’ve been off the pill 2yrs and we just said if it happens it happens but I didn’t start tracking my cycles until last sept/Oct. I now temp and do OPKs each cycle alongside taking folic acid, vitamin D and Agnus castus.
@Purley hopefully it will be a BFP first cycle for you

KatieFH · 30/06/2020 15:17

Hi guys! AF was due 25th and still not arrived but BFNs every day! Think stressing is causing my AF to be late but I just want it to come so I can start again 😩

Purley · 30/06/2020 16:07

Thank you @Suki2020! Hope you get your BFP this time round too Smile It's been so long since I was pregnant I don't even know what to look out for, and all pregnancies are different, I was very crampy and super tired but not until AF was due so will have to see in a couple of weeks

@KatieFH sending you positive vibes, it's easier said than done trying not to stress!

helia · 30/06/2020 16:31

CD13 here and my cycles are between 26 and 29 days (averaging out at 28 and consistently so for the last 4 months). Time to get cracking... It's our first month trying and we're taking it easy, aiming to DTD every other day.

Hope your cycle starts soon @KatieFH.

Good luck to everyone in the TWW!

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 16:37

@KatieFH do you temp?

KatieFH · 30/06/2020 16:41

@suki2020 I don’t actually! Would that help?

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 17:11

@katieFH I find it help me keep track of my cycles much better but not everyone likes doing it. Do you think you may have ovulated slightly later as your 5days late but still get a negative pregnancy test?

KatieFH · 30/06/2020 17:22

@suki2020 I took the clearblue ovulation tests and ovulated at the time it said I should, well I got a high but never got a peak but only tested once a morning so may have missed the LH surge on tests. So I think ovulation was the usually time at 14 days ish.
Can I use a normal thermometer to temp?

Thanks so much for helping x

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 18:25

@KatieFH a 2 decimal thermometer is best. Maybe take another pregnancy test in a few days. How many DPO are you?

KatieFH · 30/06/2020 18:27

@suki2020 Around 18 according to the app xx

Lauralozzle · 30/06/2020 19:51

@Suki2020

Just in the 2WW - reckon I’m 3dpo. Temps are a bit over the place but I can see a rise. Hoping I’ll get cross hairs tomorrow on FF.

I’ve had very mild cramps today and boobs feel sore - not had that for a while, but it literally means nothing as some months have more symptoms for others. I put it down to the progesterone!

Purley · 30/06/2020 22:12

@helia We are the same, DTD every other day so not too much pressure too early! I can't help but hope, need to relax! Wishing you lots of luck!

Suki2020 · 30/06/2020 22:25

@Lauralozzle my symptoms vary each cycle. Last cycle I had loads of symptoms this cycle I’ve only really had sore boobs that’s it.

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/06/2020 22:26

@Suki2020 I'm in the tww too. 9dpo and have quite bad pms so can't really symptom spot as it's always AF 😫

That's how I feel too @Lauralozzle! Hate bloody progesterone. I feel crazy today!

Hope everyone's good!
