TTC - Thread 2- a lucky one!

[Blossom428]

Hi guys....
Thought I'd set up this new thread for us.
Tag anyone else from the group I've not got.

@AnxiousAnnie86
@Spinksy9 (thought I'd tag for you to check in with us after your BFP 😆)
@Chlo2701

@WaitingForEgg that happened to me this month. I' ovulated later then I have in ages! My opks started to go darker then got lighter, they were totally blank then I got a static in the morning of 24 x

@TheOrangeMonster fingers crossed she stays away!!!!

@AnxiousAnnie86 I am approx 10dpo over here. Negative test today and feel I might be gearing up for AF that's due tomorrow but I usually spot for 2 days before AF and had no spotting yesterday or this morning. Skin broke out too which only happened last month when I got bfp. No other symptoms such as dizziness etc and this time last month I was getting bfps by now (early I know lol). So just awaiting game for me, will no more tomorrow if AF arrives but not getting my hopes up.

How are you keeping? And how is everyone else doing?

Good to hear no AF @TheOrangeMonster - we must be at the same stage :) fingers crossed!

@Mamainmaking1 hopefully it will stay away! It would be early for obvious symptoms to show!! How's the TWW treated you?

I think I'm 1dpo today longest month ever x

@Mamainmaking1 I think we’re similar. I’m somewhere between 12-14dpo now I think (emphasis on the think) BFN last night.
Really, really bad breakouts all week.
Left boob & nipple still sore
All bloating magically vanished, I look skinny now (!) & no windiness anymore.
Still sticky CM
Convinced AF will turn up either later today, tomorrow or Sunday.

Hiya,

I’m really new to this but looking for some reassurance...I’m 13dpo and currently 3 days past my expected AF. I got a BFN this morning on a FRER...do I admit defeat this month? I have 1 daughter (2) and I knew straight away with her and had a chemical last month...I feel like I don’t know my body anymore 😭

@Jessicapebbles hi!
Are you certain of the day you ovulated (e.g confirmed with OPKs or temping or something?) If not, like me, you probably ovulated on a different day to what you thought.

I used ovulation kits so I think I ovulated 13 days ago although I’m a bit of an amateur 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@Jessicapebbles fair enough. We’re all amateurs 😂 13dpo is still early to get BfP if you implanted late. Just hang in there. Do you have any symptoms that tell you you’re in your luteal phase?

In other news ladies, my sore boob/nipple just vanished since about an hour ago. Gone, poof! Feels completely normal, I can even poke it hard and there’s no tenderness at all! Normally it takes a few days after AF for it to go away.
Still AF-free so now I’m scared I haven’t even ovulated yet and it was just some random unrelated boob pain. 😭

@AnxiousAnnie86 the tww treated me ok, lots of headaches and sore throats but all in all I didn't get many symptoms. I had quite alot of cm up until about 4 days ago, seems to have dried up now.

Yes but surprisingly I was getting symptoms from 9dpo last month - took a really bad dizzy spell and then from the following day I was getting dizziness constantly and some nausea. Getting none of that this month so im thinking it could be the chemical just playing havoc with my cycle.

@TheOrangeMonster really big fingers crossed for us both - I am getting slight twinges in my abdomen from last night so I am pretty sure AF will be on her way shortly. The breakout is throwing me too - I never get back skin and I never get proper spots bit last month that happened and then again this month same thing again. I am due AF tomorrow so we will soon see - I hope my cycle isn't messed up from the chemical last month. When is AF due for you? I only have slight sensitivity in right chest - this time last month I couldn't lye on my front I was so sensitive. Really hope a didn't cycle just gives off different symptoms 🙈 BFN for me this morning also, when do you plan to test again? I get annoyed at myself for pointlessly wasting FRERs but I like to prepare myself for to the possibly of AF.

@Jessicapebbles I had a chemical last month too, I have read quite a few people saying that it can sometimes mess with your cycle the following month. I was due to start spotting for my period yesterday and nothing so far but bfn test today. Hopefully our luck changes and we get our bfps :) I think it's just a waiting game!

@Mamainmaking1 I literally don’t know any more. I thought I ovulated on Friday 14th (cd29) because my EWCM dried up and cervix closed up, I stopped temping and charting the preceding Tuesday because it was stressing me out so much.
My boob got sore a week later, and stayed sore until about an hour ago, nipple joined in on Mon or Tues this week until about an hour ago.
I literally don’t know if I’ve even ovulated now - all of my “symptoms” are disappearing! Boobs now utterly normal suddenly, not bloated any more....the only thing that’s still there is the acne.
I’m not testing again, not unless I get a good reason to, e.g. no period for longer than my longest ever cycle or really obvious preggo symptoms. I can sometimes go for months without a period because of PCOS.

@AnxiousAnnie86 where do you buy your soy? I’m getting some: anything to sort this out!! Also your temp rise sounds very positive! Usually mine goes up the day after.

@Chlo2701 hello.
Its completely stopped. And my sickness is still as strong! I was worried yesterday afternoon that it had disappeared but this morning I've been hugging the toilet.

That is reassuring! I’ve got really sore boobs, lower back pain and cramps however no AF...but also no suspect CM to indicate pregnancy! Think I’ll hang on until Sunday and if no AF then retest. Thank you xx

@TheOrangeMonster I get mine on amazon, can you see the link I sent before? They will last ages, I'm going to try taking them 2-6 this month xx

@WaitingForEgg if you're a late ovulater you should definitely think about taking the Soy iso tablets

@AnxiousAnnie86 yes I reckon you should take your iso days 2-6 & hopefully that should definitely bring ovulation earlier.

@TheOrangeMonster has AF stayed away for you?

@Mamainmaking1 hopefully AF hopefully AF stays away for you too!

@Jessicapebbles don't worry love we all get that feeling at times, & wonder if we ever know our body!

@Spinksy9 so glad the spotting stopped for you! Unlucky about the sickness! It's horrible isn't it! Just feels like a constant hangover that won't go away!

@Chlo2701 No AF today but BFN last night and I’m in despair really, as I said to @Mamainmaking1 I genuinely don’t know when/if I ovulated any more. No clue. Although my boob is sore again now having been totally fine all day so I don’t know wtf is up with that.

Can I get an opinion from someone? Based on my sore boob for a week (forgetting about today) which is a very common PMS symptom for me, and acne, do you think I’m in my luteal phase?
It’s doing my head in.
I think I’ll start temping again, it might shed some light on things.

@TheOrangeMonster I would deffo temp, even if you don't do anything else at least it will confirm ovulation! I think if I had to give everything up but one I would keep that, just for the peace of mind of when you actually ovulated! I would maybe do something like delete all apps bar one and just input temps! I found fermometer the best for temping xxxxx

@TheOrangeMonster or consider something like I have with the ava bracelet or ovusense (I think it e called) they also once they get to know your body give you your fertile window x

@AnxiousAnnie86 thank you for the tips 😊 I’ve actually been using OvuSense for 6 months - that’s what I stopped using two weeks ago. It decided that after my first cycle using it which happened to be 67 days ALL of my cycles had to be that long, so it always says my fertile window is going to be like 50 days in, even when that cycle turns out to be 34 days long. 😂 I think my body’s just f’d up.

@TheOrangeMonster can you still see the temp
Rise on it though? X

@AnxiousAnnie86 yes, after it’s happened, it will confirm about 4 days after when it sees a sustained rise. Looks like this (attached) this was last cycle.

Desiperkins insta story right now is giving me lots of inspiration right now guys!! We may have our down days, but one day will be our day and it will all totally be worth it!!

@Blossom428 aww I just watched it! I'm sure it will happen for me but I just can't imagine it right now! I'm at that point, we went to London for the day and were in harrods and ended up on baby floor and it's just made me too sad.....

@TheOrangeMonster ah yes that's a really clear rise! I like to see that! I think no matter what as long as we are ovulating there is hope!!!! X

Owww 😓 it will happen @AnxiousAnnie86 it really will!! It just might take longer than we thought- but when it happens we will be so blessed and happy that all the sadness, constant peeing on sticks, assessing temp will all be worth it!

@Chlo2701 I think I might try it. When do I take it and how much? This month has just been bizarre tbh. In general I do feel like I get more discharge midcycle (I assume during ovulation). Last month I got flashing and static smileys on CB detector but didn’t notice the discharge at all. This month I deF have the discharge but the CB monitor hasn’t picked up a smiley. I’m so confused!

How accurate is the Clearblue ovulation detector anyone know?
