Matilda19 · 07/06/2020 09:13

@M4v3r1ck il take a look thanks i had 3 at one point all were different so i was unsure what to think xx

farfromperfect82 · 07/06/2020 09:38

@claireb707 I also have Ava and it's saying I ovulated 3 days earlier than my BBT tracking apps, even tho my LH surge came 2 days after Ava predicated my OV. Hard to know which is right!

However I have heard that LH surge can some anytime from 72 hours before OV to right at the end of OV, so days after the egg has been released.

@elm7 also v sorry for your loss - I hope you get your BFP soon x

Ah I fall in the cougar side of this thread Smile. Cycle 4 ttc baby 1. We tried for three cycles and then we worried that coronavirus meant timing was not right so I went on the pill for one month. Since coming off I have not had a period yet, its cd 48 and I have no idea if I'm ovulating. I've stopped contraceptive before and my period always came right back.

Best wishes to everyone!! Nice to meet you all

@M4v3r1ck to be honest I’m still a bit confused by it all. But it’s something that happened while I will developing in the womb and the uterus instead of being one divides in to 2. I knew nothing about it until I had the scan at EPU as had started bleeding at 10weeks (babies had stopped growing at around 7weeks) and they were like “didn’t you know - and I was like no why would I - I can’t see in there 😂

Both babies were in one uterus and they say it’s fine as the uterus stretches it just pushes the other one out the way. Google says lots of bad things about MC or preterm labour but always find the scary stuff on google so have spoken to a gyne consultant and he has said that there is no reason why I shouldn’t be able to get pregnant again and have a normal pregnancy but that they would keep an eye on me. Oh and hubby is going for us to get pregnant twice (at around the same time with one in each uterus (super rare and he is Joking 😂)

Sorry long reply.

ELM7 · 07/06/2020 10:20

@Matilda19 I use Femometer as the main app as I use that to record OPKs

But I do also record AF on Flo and Fitbit. (Flo was all I was using when I fell pregnant the first time and we were really lucky as only DTD once in fertile week that cycle based on the day that Flo said was optimum day)

I only use the free version of the apps haven’t upgraded to pay for any of them.

MrsTtobe · 07/06/2020 10:43

Heyyyyyy I found you all. I didn't know threads had a limit and I wrote a message this morning and it said the thread had ended and I was like...'whaaattttt' 😂😂
Cougar over here too 😂 my oh is tall dark and handsome and only just hit 30 😍😂

CD 23 - trying not to lose my mind symptom spotting! Thinking AF should arrive by the end of this week.

Is @Lynnysong on here yet?

Hey to all the newcomers 😊😘 @ELM7 my mom also has 2 wombs and didn't find out till her scan when she was pregnant with me 35 years ago. Then 10 years later she found out during a routine scan that she also only has one kidney! But she had 2 successful straightforward pregnancies so try not to worry. X

M4v3r1ck · 07/06/2020 10:55

@ELM7 how interesting - thanks for sharing! Despite having a biology degree, I am so bad with gynae, reproduction, etc! 🙈 And yes, Dr Google is the absolute worst! Such a guy response going for a double win! 😂😜

@MrsTtobe wow re: your mum! And lovely to hear these positive stories! 😘

Happy Sunday to all! Going to go for a nice long walk since it's lovely and sunny here! 😎

Sleeeeeepy · 07/06/2020 10:58

@Matilda19 I feel so much better knowing you're medical professionals, I had dreadful visions 🤣

I'm TTC #3, my sons are 3.5 and almost 2, I came off the pill early May and have had some spotting and then what I thought was AF but just stopped after a day. I'm a bit (lot) of a POAS addict but have now moved onto cheapie opks, not much happening so goodness knows what's going on in there 🤷🏻‍♀️

Loladoodle · 07/06/2020 11:00

@ELM7 wow that’s interesting about the 2 uterus’ and so sorry for your losses that is heartbreaking to find out. Good luck for your bfp.

@mrsttobe my dp is also 30, high five lady 👋 give yourself a clap 👏 I often do! 😂😂

Still waiting on official cd1 here, think in today’s the day as the spotting is ramping up a bit more. Guessing the b6 has really lengthened my Cycle as I’m day 28 today. Usually have 25 day cycles max. Bored now, just want full flow so we can crack on with cycle 2 ASAP!

Thanks Ladies. May was a rubbish month as would of been our due date although coming home with twins in the middle of a pandemic with no support would of been pretty terrifying. 😱 So glad to be in June and hoping for 🌈 for all of us

Thanks @MrsTtobe that’s really good to hear about your Mum and that she had 2 normal pregnancies. Gives me hope. And wow on then finding out she has only 1 kidney. The human bodies are amazing.

@Elspethelf welcome and have you tried using ovulation test. I stopped my pill in may and had a withdrawal bleed, then I ovulated. Had my real first last week Sunday, but it only lasted 2 days .

Matilda19 · 07/06/2020 12:35

@Sleeeeeepy yes think i worried a few with that statement should have explained. I didnt have any local anaesthetic but i fall asleep having tattoos so didn't really feel much pain and was prepared to do anything ttc.. Things we do... Xx

Wavesandsmilesagain · 07/06/2020 12:39

Hi all, I just posted once on the last thread, I’m 41 TTC #5, although first with DP who’s 39. CD 8, and this time I’m taking pre conception vitamins. It’s 4/5 month of trying, hoping for many BFPs on this thread!
My children are all back at school, I’m working from home still and DP off work until 17th so there should be plenty of opportunity to DTD at the “right time”. Trying to keep relaxed about this now as I conceived super fast with my others and was disappointed the last two months. I suspect I drink far too much tea but not sure I can give this up just yet 😕

writeitright · 07/06/2020 12:55

@Wavesandsmilesagain I still have 1 cup in the morning and then decaf the rest of the day (usually only have 2 cups more if it's a work day) I haven't noticed it too much.

Muda · 07/06/2020 13:13

@Happyhappy37 ah thank you for tagging me!

Love the new thread name 😂

Thank you @Happyhappy37

I need to catch up with all the chat, the other thread was so busy, great that there are so many of us!

I'm currently in the 2 ww symptom spotting like mad, trying to resist the urge to POAS too soon!

lucieloos · 07/06/2020 14:07

Good luck everyone! I can't wait until we get our first bfp on here.

Sleeeeeepy · 07/06/2020 14:34

@Wavesandsmilesagain I can't do without my caffeine right now. Boys back at nursery now so trying desperately to catch up with work stuff I had to put on hold for the last couple of months. I was still working full time at strange times but couldn't think straight.

I got a 19 on my opk just now, this is v exciting as looks like my body's doing something and I'm actually capable of taking a mom wobbly photo 🥳

Sleeeeeepy · 07/06/2020 14:35

Non not mom. I wish you could edit!
