Hey guys

Is anyone else in the TWW and want to join me in desperately trying not to test 😂

Currently 4DPO in cycle 9 of TTC, and frantically googling when is the absolute earliest I can test, driving myself insane!

How's everyone else finding the TWW at the min? Lockdown is making it harder cause I'm home all day with all my tests 🤦‍♀️

Baby dust to all x

Quick question about cm. I had lots of egg white cm around ovulation but since then nothing at all. I keep reading that increases cm after ov if a pregnancy sign. I really don’t think this is my month yet again 😢. In the past I just knew xx

2020mission · 02/10/2020 19:34

BFN today and some spotting so pretty sure I'm out 🙄 on to November then... best of luck to the rest of you! Someone has to get lucky soon

acaciabluebell · 03/10/2020 10:43

@2020mission Sorry to hear that hun. When are you due AF? I've had BFNs in the past few days but not testing today because I've got a busy day planned and I don't want the BFN to ruin my mood! AF is due tomorrow/Monday. My boobs are less sore today so I've not got much hope.

acaciabluebell · 04/10/2020 06:53

AF got me this morning too 😔 onto month 5 I guess.

Jurassiclover · 04/10/2020 10:10

Sorry to hear af got some of you guys 😔 onto the next cycle at least. I've now been trying 15 months

Has anyone else taken myo inositol or ubiquinol and found it gave them nausea?

2020mission · 04/10/2020 20:55

@Jurassiclover no I've never heard of those, are you starting on them? Sorry you've suffered 15 months of trying, it feels like a lifetime for me and I'm at 10 months now so imagine it must be hard for you. It has to be our time soon.

@acaciabluebell sorry AF got you. I'd rather have it here now too, I'm still just spotting and waiting for it to kick in. The sooner the better so I'm on to the next cycle! It's due anytime now. Probably tomorrow morning just to make Monday that little bit worse 😂

Jurassiclover · 04/10/2020 21:01

@2020mission yeah, they're supposed to help with pcos so we shall see! Yeah its been hard, we've been trying for 15 months, 3 months in I fell pregnant and had a miscarriage and just nothing since then. Sorry to hear you've been trying for 10 months also! It definitely has to be our time soon, that's what I keep telling myself

acaciabluebell · 04/10/2020 22:52

@2020mission Thanks. This AF is the weirdest one in ages. It doesn't look anything like my normal period at all, it's so strange. It's definitely a full period though and not spotting. Unfortunately my boobs are still killing me (they've been sore for over 2 whole weeks now 😔) and I've felt nauseous and tired and terrible all day. Been moping around all day lol. I hope I feel better tomorrow, I normally feel better on day 2.

@jurassiclover I've actually just ordered some myoinositol to help with insulin resistance and hormones/ovulation. This past cycle was the first cycle that I felt ovulation symtpoms in a long time so I'm worried that I ovulate very infrequently.

Jaysdream7 · 05/10/2020 10:09

Help! I am 7 or 8 dpo but this is the second day with these line from clear blue early. 4 tests have shown these lines. First response was negative. I am officially too early or test apparently Wednesday is the earliest but surely these all can’t be wrong. You will have to zoom super faint but def there

TWW - anyone want to join?
Jurassiclover · 05/10/2020 17:29

@acaciabluebell hopefully they help us both! Yeah my ovulation is so irregular, I ront even think I ovulate every since cycle either, so hopefully it helps!

@Jaysdream7 I can definitely see something! Give it 48 hours and test again and see if it gets any darker! Fingers crossed for you!

acaciabluebell · 01/11/2020 20:20

Hey ladies, just wanted to check in and ask how you all are doing? @Jurassiclover @2020mission? xx

2020mission · 01/11/2020 21:02

Oh wow it's been a whole month and we haven't posted here - time is flying!

@acaciabluebell thanks for checking in I'm doing ok. My last cycle was only 20 days long which was quite worrying but trying to keep positive and hopefully this cycle will be a normal length. I'm just at my fertile window right now so no tests until later this month. Are you doing ok?

Would be lovely to see at least one of us have some success this year 🤞

acaciabluebell · 01/11/2020 21:26

@2020mission Hey, glad to hear you are doing OK :) I can imagine it must have been weird to have such a short cycle... I've had a 19 day cycle before myself and was a bit freaked out lol, but it went back to normal straightaway after and hasn't happened since. Hopefully the same will happen for you!

I'm currently 11dpo today and AF is due tomorrow.... normally arrives bang on time on 12dpo every month so expecting the inevitable tomorrow. But I've had some unsual symptoms this month so who knows. I haven't tested since 8dpo with an IC (BFN) and don't want to test either, just waiting for AF lol

2020mission · 01/11/2020 21:48

@acaciabluebell thanks for letting me know that I'm not alone in having a random really short cycle. I'm just putting it down to stress as I was feeling it a bit that week when I'm usually always quite laid back. Hope to see you back on here in a day or so with good news 🤞

Jurassiclover · 02/11/2020 09:22

@acaciabluebell hey, I'm okay, now onto month 16, still no bfp and cycles still stupidly long but I did end up forgetting to take the supplements I'd started haha. On the plus side now just 2 more months till my doctors will refer me to the fertility team!

OP posts:
acaciabluebell · 02/11/2020 13:05

@Jurassiclover I also gave up on all the supplements I started, it can get too much at times!

AF has got me today sadly... Onto month 6 (gosh I feel really bad moping around when it hasn't been that long for me compared to others)

Jurassiclover · 02/11/2020 13:33

@acaciabluebell it really can can't it! I was talking 5 tablets a day and I just felt like I couldn't keep up! Sorry to hear AF has arrived! It doesn't matter whether its 2 months or 22, when you want something so much any amount of time feels like a lifetime!

OP posts:
2020mission · 02/11/2020 15:15

I agree, every month with a BFN is hard no matter how long! I'm at cycle 11 now. I've given up on OPKs etc and the only thing I'm still doing is taking the folic acid and vitamin D every day. Quite annoying thinking about the fact I've had folic acid every day for a year for no reason 🙄

2020mission · 16/11/2020 12:01

How are you all doing ladies? I'm at the last few days of my cycle and having one of those months where I think I actually might be on to something but more likely I'm not and it's just going to lead to a big downer next week 😂

It's only because usually I get spotting for at least 3 days before AF and I've had no sign of spotting and still getting stretchy CM which happened the time I had a chemical. Might just be a longer cycle this month though.

Hope you're all keeping well

Mummy2girlz · 16/11/2020 12:07

Sorry to jump on I was hoping someone could advise me.. I know the bbt has to stay increased for 3 days to confirm ovulation, but can someone have a look at my chart and see if it is ovulation? Please and thankyou:)

TWW - anyone want to join?
2020mission · 16/11/2020 12:41

@Mummy2girlz sorry I've never charted BBT so can't help you I'm afraid but hopefully someone else will join in with some advice. Welcome to the thread anyway 👋

acaciabluebell · 16/11/2020 16:09

@2020mission I hope this month is your month!! I'm in my fertile week right now. Not sure if I have already ovulated or not, not really testing. I'm trying to take the relaxed approach like I did last month, which helped me stay calm I think. Hopefully I can stop symptom spotting this time round.... 🙄

Eppy123 · 28/11/2020 00:33

Hello everyone, wondering if I can join.

I was in the start of this thread and got a BFP but I miscarried in September at 13 weeks after 2 healthy scans. Devastated.

Logged in to my account there and this thread was highlighted so thought I would join again.

Hope everyone is doing ok, love & luck to you all! X

2020mission · 28/11/2020 13:29

Aww @Eppy123 I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you're doing ok.

I'm still trying, just at that start of another cycle and have reached a full year of trying now. I've had 2 BFPs this year, but both ended just before 5 weeks. Im trying to take my mind of things a bit this month and telling myself at least Christmas drinks will be on the cards if it doesn't happen this cycle.

acaciabluebell · 28/11/2020 15:43

@Eppy123 I'm so sorry to hear this :( Hope you are OK, sending you love.

AF got me today and I've reached 9 months trying. I thought it was 6/7 but it's actually 9

@2020mission good luck with this cycle xx
