Thread number 2 as we are close to our 1k limit❤️

@Tink2019 yay that's amazing news! X

@Tink2019 Soooo happy for you :). Hope all the screening tests go well. Congratulations again and keep us posted.

Thanks for the sorry messages but now I'm confused again! And now I'm feeling stupid for feeling hopeful again 😖 after what I thought was af arriving yesterday (the post DTD random wipe of blood), I've had no signs of anything, no more blood. Usually my temps dip consistently until af or when it starts, but it's back up. Cervix high soft and closed. Such a tease! 12dpo, should I test or just wait it out?

Amazing news @Tink2019 !! X

Thanks ladies 😊

Chart looks good @Newbie0818, I'd personally wait it out though x

@Newbie0818 your charts looking good.. You know me I always say poas but totally up to you.. How long would/could you wait to test?

@Pol96 tbh I never test anymore to avoid disappointment! I guess if it goes past 14dpo I'll think about it x @Tink2019

@Newbie0818 I'm around 14 dpo too and no sign of af yet just sore boobs... hope the soy hasn't delayed my whole cycle 😭

Hi ladies how are you all doing?
I’m Cd38 and my app says I’m 13dpo but I’m not convinced I’ve even ovulated as my temps are still low and I have no symptoms what’s so ever other then being emotional on and off.

Hey @Suki2020 I'm cd14 and had ewcm for a couple of days so DTD yesterday. Had a faint line on an OPK so wondering if I'll ovulate soon. I ovd on cd16 2 cycles ago randomly so maybe 🤷🏼‍♀️ then I can book in day 21 tests

What makes your app think you ov?

@SarahTTC2020 I did have some dark OPK’s but I don’t think it was quite dark enough. My temp hasn’t really risen much.

AF is here yet againnn... not sure if soy did anything for me 😔

@xoJellyBean Sorry AF arrived. It arrived for me this morning as well. :(

How long have you been trying? I am moving on to cycle 5 of ttc (I know it's not long... but with PCOS and knowing that about 2 years ago blood tests showed I stopped ovulating all together. I am really don't think it's going to happen for me. :(

Ah sorry ladies - stupid AF! Have some chocolate and a nice bath and it's ok to feel upset 💛🌻

I think I might have had a positive opk last night when I went to bed, both lines were same darkness but my wee was quite diluted so they weren't the darkest I've ever seen.
Still DTD just now as well just in case and will carry on doing it every couple of days for a while in case I'm still heading for an extra long cycle. I'm only on CD16 but I did have a peak on cd16 2 cycles ago so 🤞 this is a shorter cycle

@Elakiya ahh sorry to hear about you too, let's get through this next cycle together! I'm going to track again this month I think, do you track anything? I came off my pill in 2018 with the attitude of if it happens it happens, I try for a couple of cycles and then get frustrated and stop so I'm not even sure what cycle of ttc I am on! I feel the same as you, never going to happen for us 😭❤️

Fingers crossed for you @SarahTTC2020 ! This is a lucky thread so here's hoping 🥰 my cycles are around 30-32 now

@xoJellyBean I use OPK's but I am going to stop using them for this cycle. I have about 3 stone to lose so I am going to work on that first and keep doing SMEP (Well I won't know when I ovulate due to know OPK's but I am going to just DTD every other day from Cycle day 10 to AF start) and after I've lost the 3 stone then I'll probably go back to OPK's.

I've also been seeing a private gynae PCOS (through work insurance). He said I need to do a HCG scan which my insurance will pay for and some bloods and then I have to pay for the consultation with him regarding "fertility" so will do that in the mean time.

Are you on any medication? I am currently on 1500mg of metformin.

Sorry for all those who af caught :( it sucks!
I don't know what on earth my body is doing but I've been spotting on and off all day so af is imminent. BUT I've booked an apt with the doctor to start fertility intervention and that's making me feel positive. I was quite scared but the lady who booked it was super nice and really helpful which is lovely. The doctor is going to give me an initial telephone consultation and then ask us both to go in for further tests and treatment options. I feel like something is finally going to happen 🤞🏼
Hope everyone else is ok x

Hi ladies, still no af for me but then I’m still convinced I haven’t ovulated yet. I have my first fertility appointment tomorrow so will hopefully find out what the next step is for us. My appointment came through really quickly only had to wait two weeks, but I was referred by my gynaecologist at the hospital so not sure if that makes a difference. So fingers crossed things can start happening for us at long last.

@Suki2020 that's awesome, hope it helps 🤞🏼

Hi ladies! Sorry for those with af, fingers crossed for next month. Good luck to those getting docs involved too!

I've been a big quiet due to me and DC falling ill - been tested and its not covid but we have had this awful cold/flu for 2 weeks now. So ttc has not been on the radar.. but tbh I feel like giving up.

I tried Soy this cycle, maybe managed dtd 3 times sometime before ov. I'm on CD 35, AF is due in 3 days. I have a feeling this is going to be a longer cycle though - maybe it was the Soy.

@xoJellyBean did the Soy make your cycle longer?

@duckii I think it did! Only slightly though. This period is sooo light compared to my normal so I'm unsure if that affected it too

@xoJellyBean @duckii Oh no, I'm anxious now about the soy! I'm on day 4 of taking it, if I have another cycle like last time I don't think I can cope. What cycle days did you both take it? I went for 1-5 in the hope it would shorten my cycle a bit.

Good luck with your appointments @Newbie0818 @Elakiya and @Suki2020!

I took it on days 3-7. My af is due on Friday but I don't feel like it's anywhere near! How long are your cycles usually?

@duckii They've been on average about 51 days since I came off the pill a year ago, but the last one was 95 .

Hopefully AF stays away for you for the right reasons! Are you going to test?

@Neurotic90 aww I feel your pain. Only recently I've had an average of 37 day cycle for the past 3/4 cycles but I have a feeling it's going change now as I'm not sure I even ovulated. But then I'm a bit stressed atm so that could delay it even more!

No I won't test. If af is not here by the end of next week, I may be tempted.

Do you track ov and temp?

@duckii Fingers crossed there's no change for the worse to your cycle! Sorry to hear you're under some stress .

I've used opks but this is my first cycle tracking my bbt. What about you? Have you been trying for long? I always had it in my head we'd take a relaxed approach, maybe dtd every second day and hope for the best but nope (hence the username!). I've found it more stressful trying to forget about it and relax. Doesn't help I think I'm the first person in the history of my family ever that's had to actually try to conceive so I had a bit of an unrealistic expectation it would happen straight away.
