Not sure how often OP goes on!!! Eeeek so thought I'd start a new one as running out of space. Hope that's ok....

Thank you @nemobear7 and @sausage1990!!

@Skyla01 I’m awful at being healthy haha, just reading your comment to someone else above. I’m not overweight or anything (size8-10) but I can eat for England and LOVE my treats. Last night I was adamant about it “I need to go on a fertility diet, no carbs, no sugar, no joy”. And today I woke up rearing to go. I had a cinnamon bun and a packet of chicken for lunch 🤣 my healthy food shop arrives tomorrow though so hopefully I’ll be better at it after one last day of being a 🐷
Oh god I hope I caught it if I did ov :/ but I guess that means my already 3 week wait has turned into a 5 week wait?!

@Sausage1990 I think that’s our problem, we DTD so much when I think I’m fertile, and then when I actually AM I assume it’s too late we do it less. From today onwards I’m going to be very strictly DTD every other day, which hubby will enjoy I’m sure.
Could have been a short peak, you never know. Just keep DTD and fx for you 🤞🏼

@Marshmallow123 it’s hard to keep up isn’t it! Sorry about af 😞 onwards and upwards though. I think I misjudged my fw too.

@HopefulRobertsons66202 I really hope af stays away for you ✨✨✨✨

@newbie0818 definitely hard to keep up! My Natural Cycles app changed my 'peak' twice within that supposed FW...then AF was late and it recalculated FW to be a whole or week later...the week we had like a six day break from DTD as DH was so busy with work!

@marshmallow123 that’s so annoying! I feel your pain. My Flo app has just completely given up on me and turned grey 😂 she has no clue what to suggest anymore 😂

@Newbie0818 ah no that's annoying!!

@HopefulRobertsons66202 yessss!!!! Fingers crossed for you and your teenie bean!!!

Anyone else noticed were up to 400+ messages on this (second) May bus thread... and it's only 4 May 😂😂😂😂

@Newbie0818 yay to a bit of saliva 🤣 I'm also with you on the healthy eating front. I'm 2dpo and I've honestly convinced myself that my hormones tell me I need more sweets and chocolate, the only good thing is that when I go to work even the little convenience shops have queues outside so if I don't take any shit into work I can't eat it. When I get home I don't have the same problem as DP is definitely a feeder 🤷🏾‍♀️

My flo app also turned grey last month so annoying it just telling you your period is late 🙄

@Newbie0818 😂 I use a few apps which all gave up long ago. Fertility friend was sticking with me, even though it changed its mind a few times. Even that now is like- nope, I've got nothing. 🙄

@SmileyT @paintfairy

Yep, Flo is as confused As I am 🤣 She thinks I’m 9 days late, clearly not.

@GingerBaby89 I know, this thread is crazy! Would suggest a fb chat group but anonymity etc

@Newbie0818 my flow says 13 days. I don't even know the real answer. I literally feel like lockdown will end sooner than AF turning up, the rate we are going!

We have logistical difficulties this month, DH gets up really early as still working and ds (with Sen,can't leave him alone, not his fault) keeps awake until past midnight, if it works in the single time we managed this cycle...

@Newbie0818 wouldn't it be great to put faces to names though! Have you told anyone you're TTC?

What point of your TTC journey are your girls all on?

We're TTC for baby #1.

We started trying last month, but completely misjudged FW. AF here now so will start month 2 of TTC as soon as that's out of the way!

Sorry if people have already asked this but there's so much to keep up with in this thread! Wishing everyone lots of positivity for their FW!

Omg @marshmallow123 us too! Cycle 2 for us but cycle 1 I misjudged fertile window. DF and I both have older children (his is 14 and mine is 11) weve been together 9 years and this is our first together.

Can anyone offer advice? I'm 9dpo and all of a sudden this afternoon I felt so tired I went and got into bed to watch tv and fell asleep. I've just woken up and feel really hot and achy. Feel like I'm coming down with the flu but I was absolutely fine this morning.

Obviously hoping it's some kind of pregnancy symptom but just my luck it will be Rona 🙈

Got tests arriving tomorrow but was hoping to hold off for FMU weds.

@myhappystreak good luck for your first child together!
I really hope it's a symptom of anything other than Rona!!

@paintfairy same!

@myhappystreak no one at all. We want to surprise everyone and have 12 weeks of Excitement to ourselves. Plus I don’t think I could cope with the disappointment of telling others about a MC if that happens.
🤞🏼🤞🏼 For symptoms! Are you testing tomorrow?

@marshmallow123 ttc for our first, never been pg before so this is very exciting, albeit frustrating. 6 months of trying, though technically only 4 cycles because of irregular af. Came off pill in aug after 11 years So think my body is still trying to clear out( even though it’s been 8 months already...) really hoping there’s not an underlying issue like pcos or anything like that.

@Marshmallow123 I think sudden severe fatigue is quite a common symptom so you never know 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 10dpo is still quite early so good plan to wait for FMU Wednesday, I agree.

We're TTC our first bundle too, had coil removed in November but only really started trying at the start of Jan to give my body a chance to gather its thoughts so this is cycle 4. So. Bored. Already!!!!

@newbie0818 I came off the pill in September after 15 years on it...it's weird that we spend most of our most fertile years not wanting to get pregnant and then "boom" we want a baby! I saw a gynaecologist who did an ultrasound of everything and a full blood test... nothing worrying came up so I'm hoping we're ok. Always get those niggling doubts though!

@myhappystreak we've told nobody except my best friend...who is now pregnant herself after 18 months of TTC...she like my agony aunt!!

@GingerBaby89 fingers and toes crossed for you!

7th cycle of trying for number 2 after pill for 15 years, did had a little break off it to conceive D's which took no effort and no time at all, so frustrating this time

@Newbie0818 being a size 8-10 , not having to eat healthy and being able to eat what you want is near enough reason for me to dislike you instantly 🤣🤣🤣I just have to buy Nutella In the shop for the children and get an extra love handle ffs lol!

Anyways - my god you girls can talk! I’m gonna have a bath and get caught up! Any new bfps today?!

Does anyone wanna offer advice on my opks today? I’m still so clueless, if I don’t get preg I’ll ask less questions as time goes on lol - tracking is all new to me xxx

This is just today’s opks xxx

@Marshmallow123 if you look at the nhs website for ttc it doesn't recommend tracking really, just dtd every 2 or 3 days all the time (except during AF). That would be one way to do it and perhaps less stressful? I might give it a go. If you have a long cycle might turn in to a slog though.

@Newbie0818 what healthy eating are you trying? Are you going to try seed cycling? I bought some flax seed the other day (for baking) but might try eating it next cycle! My diet is fairly healthy but I would really struggle to give up sugary treats. And avoiding anything processes would be a pain in the ass I reckon. Lockdown is probably a great time to try it though- no eating out to get us off track.
