AF Due 20/07

Continuation from thread AF due 20/06

@candycrush2298 @Kaybobx I ordered the cup to try for AF this month. Basically I sleep with tampons on, I know I shouldn't but if I put pads on its a blood bath. I got the smaller size because I've never been pregnant but I'm 29 and have a ridiculously heavy flow so a bit concerned I should have got the bigger size? What happens if your size is too small? Do you just leak through it or would it just fill up quicker?

I got an peak on my OPK today... unsure if I believe it because last month was CD21 and this month is CD15. I wish I got other symptoms like trying EWCM. I'm a bit worried I get LH surges but am not actually ovulating. I tested out preseed today will see how successful that is...

I'm going to keep doing more opk's just incase I was wrong about the ovulation today?

@candycrush2298 I have just finished AF so my flo app is saying 9th- 19th fertile days being the 15th. I am not 100% when I ovulate so going to start opks from sunday to confirm this month and use until AF is due just to get a better idea. We just went with the flow the past 2 months (naively thinking it would just happen) . This month I would like to have some control over it and at least know I have dtd on the right days 😂. Good luck to you all and hopefully we will see lots of BFPs soon.

@Elakiya awesome, yeah I think the cup will just fill up a lot quicker. Maybe the first night you use it with AF just have a pad on as well for in case there are leakages. Don't worry I sleep with tampons in too - I know so bad oh well. I think if the cup was physically too small (like if you have a wide canal) it may slip and that would cause leaks. but mine seems fine and I am 29 with no children.

Just BD anyway hahah and if you get a peak tomorrow BD again hahah. Do it until the OPK gets lighter and if doesn't oh well lots of BD hahahahah. I have missed ewcm oh my goodness I couldn't believe it when I saw it with the pregnacare and no more anti histimanes I was like booyah its back hahah. Also used preseed one of the bd's so we shall see....

@1992EM yeah I was naive for a whole year thinking if we do it naturally bd every other day it will happen... didn't work out so well. Second year in and taking loads more control now borderline crazy train. Oh who am I kidding I am the driver of the crazy train. Each month getting more and more crazy with my ideas to try whahahha. The OPK's will definitely give you more control over the fertile window and help you to understand when the right times are it will also make your flow app more accurate by inputting the test results into the app.

@candycrush2289 thank you . Any other things you recommend trying?

@Elakiya I'm tempted to try mine for AF too. Totally intrigued how it works! I used to sleep with tampons in but my flow has come so light i feel so uncomfortable with them in. Pads are just yuk and smelly!
My CD changes each month too. I would trust the OPKs.
@candycrush2298
Ive not had any ewcm yet, think my day is way off yet. I did have a late cycle last month so its probably all thrown off track. Haha i know my poor hubby, i just dont know whats wrong with me! I either make excuses or point blank say no im not in the mood. Drive has totally gone but he knows what week is coming up so he's sitting tight lol. Just had my first macca root, come on! Do your stuff haha

@Elakiya uh I am still not pregnant so I wouldn't trust my advice LOL!!!! But if you want real advice from women that have actually had success I would search TTC or TWW videos on YouTube there's loads of great tips.

@Kaybobx ah so annoying!!! I hope that your cycles start returning to the norm. You never know you may have had weird cycles because the polyps were working itself out in your body. Maybe this month you will return to normal. Lets hope this maca root starts doing its thing super quick for you LOL!

I think pregnancy is just pot luck. Most people that fall pregnant do it without even trying! I have taken so many vitamins, brought pills online, used different lubes, stood on my head haha jokes well feet in the air, BD everyday, BD every other day and still nothing 😭

I do hope my cycle goes back to normal this month, that was sooooo long last month.

@Kaybobx you are probably right. It is likely just pot luck, and I am scraping at the bottom of the barrel. I have also done so much.

@candycrush2298 sorry that sounded like a really negative comment from me. Its just so bloody frustrating isnt it?!.... butttt this will be our month. Haha!

The cup will just fill faster if you have a heavy flow. But it's amazing how much it actually holds.

I have zero ovulation symptoms. Gonna do a cheap opk later.

Wondering if I did ovulate early. Or am I gonna ov on day 18 again. Who knows it's all a mystery!!

Hi can I join please?

AF due 8th of July and I think I ovulated on the 24th or 25th of June (I didn’t use an OPK).

This is cycle 1 off ttc baby no 3. ☺️ I’m symptom spotting like mad and it’s driving me insane!

@Kaybobx I know its frustrating and sometimes really hard to stay positive. I think my issue is finding a balance between positive and psycho. Hahahahah yes this month is ours!! We had quite a few BFP's on the last thread so its about time this is ours.

@snapple21 sounds like you should definitely just take a cheapie tonight. If you did ovulate early did you BD enough?

@JLM1008 of course, welcome. hahahah!!! At least you are almost through the TWW. By next week Wednesday you will know for sure. Have you taken any pg tests yet? Or do you actually have the patience to wait until AF?

@candycrush2298 Thank you! 😃 I wish I was that patient haha! I took one this morning which was BFN 😔 but I know still plenty of time and probably way too early for showing up on tests.

@candycrush2298 yes definitely!!

@JLM1008 welcome to the crazy club 🙂 ooooh baby number 3! Can you teach us what you've been doing right haha.

@Kaybobx I honestly have no idea! 🤣 It was a good few years ago - my eldest is 9 and youngest is 7. Husband and I decided after many years of indecision to have a third to just go for it this month!

@JLM1008 how many dpo are you? Lol we are just as crazy trsting way to early its so annoying other threads I have followed and read get BFPs on like 8DPO obviously I havent been pregnant which is why all of mine were BFNs but still hahahaha. I also want one 🤣🤣🤣 were you crazy with your first two pregnancies? Did you symptom spot and test way to early? Did it take long the first two times? Lol I know so many questions I'm just so inquisitive 😂😂😂

Welcome @JLM1008

@candycrush2298 not sure. I did it on the day I had the pinchy pains so who knows 😅

@JLM1008 welcome baby number 3 that’s exciting. Good luck on your journey 😄

Right guys an OPK question. I had a peak at 12.00 and now at 16:00 it’s definitely not a peak... I’d say it looks high ish but defo not a peak. Do you think I might just have got a false peak?

Thanks @snapple21☺️

I don’t remember being like that with my other two to be honest @candycrush2298! I did test 2 days early with my first and it was a bfn on a cheapie but a bfp on a clear blue digital so my emotions went all over the place! 😂 with my 2nd he was an anniversary weekend away that involved a snapped condom and the morning after pill - so as far as I was concerned I couldn’t be pregnant 😂 so I didn’t find out until I was about 5 weeks gone and I was like oh shit I didn’t get my period and my boobs hurt 🤣 I’m much crazier this time around I think! I know it’s so hard - I think I’m about 8 or 9 dpo so no point testing yet! But we still do it to ourselves! Haha

Just did a 3rd test this is 1.5 hrs later guys and it’s even lighter 😞 maybe I’m broken. Maybe I’m not ovulating and just been telling myself I have 😞. Need to go see my gynae again end of August/ early September guess I have some information to give him 😞

@Elakiya I wouldn't panic, just have sex tonight to cover it!

@snapple21 you and I are exactly the same no idea if we did in the time period as we didn't do it the day I peaked ffs

@JLM1008 LOL I can understand wanting to test so early. And wow talk about your second. Holy cow I cant believe you still conceived with morning after pill hahahaha.

@Elakiya just BD tonight and test over the next few days to see if its dropped or not. Sometimes the peak only lasts a short time.
