@galatea098 how many months in are you? I'm all for knowing - I'd hate to find out 6 months down the line that something isn't right that I could have fixed 6 months ago.

@lucyrp oh jeez not me lol! I take forever and I really struggle cuming through sex alone. Need that clit stimulation or it's game over for me 😝
@galatea098 does Dh have children already? If not, no harm in him having a private SA done. Our issue is my Dh and he's 37...I'm 34 and it's been a year now so we lied and started investigations at 11 months and I'm so glad we did!

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm not even sure I enjoy clit stimulation that much to be honest unless I'm really into it it sends me all funny I can't keep still my legs go everywhere and OH just shouts keep still at me 😂😂😂I mostly squirt in that position and cum with nipple stimulation 🤭

@Katao love that! It's often less cradling but seductively whole hand grabbing like "oh baby" but in that movement I'm also holding a boob up so it doesn't come crashing down like a big wet fish against my sternum😂🙈#gotitallworkedout he loves it!!

Thank you @Runnergirl1 I think we are so invested in everyone else's journeys! I'm on one of the IVF boards but I bowed out even before last week cos it's just so "oh god can I eat pizza in TWW or leave the sofa it might hurt the embryo?" 🤔🙄it's just not me. I font kind if you guys don't understand the process it's all about support isn't it! Are you coming back up to FW or in limbo phase now?

@Juno231 when are you testing bus driver??? 🚌🚌

@minster2012 ideally I don't want to test unless AF is late but realistically I'll def cave by 11DPO, which is on Tuesday I think!

Just got my appt through for ultrasound, need to wait until 30th Oct so just hoping I'm pg by then!

Well my tests are telling me this month isn't the month either as the test today looks just as light if not a smidgen lighter than the first one whereas its been 48hrs so I'd have expected it to be at least a little darker by now, lighter is suggesting another CP.
However my body is telling me the opposite story as I've just woken up from an unplanned nap on the couch which I never have, have zero appetite (which definitely isn't me), have been super emotional and getting little waves of nausea every now and then.

So just need to play the waiting game for another day or 2 to see which ones correct the tests or the symptoms. My gut wants to go with my body and say there's a little jellybean desperately trying to hang on in there but at the same time can't really argue with the tests when the evidence is right in front of my eyes.
Have fired more tests into my amazon basket for delivery tonight, the ttc malarkey its not for the impatient 😂

@Minster2012 yeah I know what you mean everyone is so supportive. So I rang the doctors today as no af still. Currently cd36, 1week late, very creamy Cm, bfn’s and The doctor said I just have to wait and see, could be hormones, which could be due to stress or mmc. I may not have ovulated, I may just end up being a few weeks late. Apparently nothing to worry about atm, she’s not concerned and carry on as we where (so more DTD). Not really helpful but just going to have to ride it out. Oh and I could still be pregnant 🤦🏼‍♀️ - dont think that’s it as I’m 21dpo today if I did ovulate - I used cb and had soooooo much ewcm X

@Runnergirl1 the doctors weren't very helpful with my first cycle after my cp it was 72 days long and I've never had a longer cycle than 30 days before. She said I had to keep taking pregnant tests every couple of weeks because h could still be pregnant and to carry on having sec incase id missed ovulation which was highly likely. Hugs to you. I know exactly how you feel. Xx

@Runnergirl1 I also used cb thay cycle and picked up ovulation peak on CD14 which was clearly not right because I had a 72 day cycle which would mean a LP of 57 days ... x

@Minster2012 you certainly do have it all worked out 😉 sorry to hear the ivf boards aren't working out for you but glad you feel supported here 🥰 it's not always about a common issue but just finding your kind of people.

@Runnergirl1 pity you are still in limbo but I think after a mmc you just need to give your body a little time to settle again. I would suggest using ic opks instead of or along with the clear blue. The problem with it is you stop testing when you get your static which isn't helpful if you have multiple peaks because your body needs to try a couple of times to ovulate.

@lucyrp I remember you talking about that it must have been awful for you and I hope that I don’t last 72days. I’m struggling now and only cd36. But you are right I will just have to keep at the OPKs probs happened now and tbh we haven’t had much sex as we normally relax abit after fertile window. So probs def out this month. I just want to get on it again. Can I ask if things have settled down for you now?

@Katao thank you. Think I will start the OPKs again but I would imagine I’ve missed it now but will give it a go. Maybe your right maybe I am giving myself a hard time. I just want to get pregnant again and with my 34th birthday coming up on Monday I was hoping for some good news x

@lucyrp ooh lucky you Lucy. 😉 I'm defo not easy orgasmer lol!
@SarahTTC2020 fingers crossed for you!!
@DKDK123 oh jeez, good luck honey!!
@galatea098 it's hard getting them to go ahead with it at first but he'll come round sooner if you go on at it him lol! I ended up in tears at about 9 months of trying and he said he'd go for one. I was the one who wanted to wait another month or two just to see.

@Runnergirl1 I kept on with opks for a while but just kept getting high readinfs. They didn't change at all over a period of about 20 days so I gave up with them. We always relax after FW too. I was the same and thought I would get pregnant after a CP as you're seemingly more fertile after a loss. Not as of yet they haven't , I had a 72 day cycle then a 48 day cycle and this time I'm on CD19 with nothing to show on opks so far I had 1 day of blank circles on the Cb then 6 of flashing smiley so gave up. I was also testing in the evening and they were all high. BBT is looking promising but not too sure. I'm not feeling too hopeful for a normal cycle again although I hope it is x

@lucyrp it’s not an easy road this ttc is it. I thought after mmc I would catch straight away (wishful thinking). Oh gosh I feel for you it’s awful. See when I fell pregnant I caught peak on cb but never caught a positive opk at all. I feel useless using them but will give it ago I suppose no harm bar my bank balance. I have everything crossed for you x

@Runnergirl1 oh of course you do, completely understandable to want to get on with things and tttc again but just be kind to yourself and see how it goes x
@DKDK123 I missed your post, just saw it. So sorry. A little break from testing would probably be good but also I know if it was me I would just want to know and test often. What dpo are you?

@Katao thank you x

@Runnergirl1 no it definitely isn't. I didn't think I'd still be here on the bus in September that's for sure and I sure as hell didn't think I'd still be TTC a year on from when we started. It is bloody awful. I've got to the stage now where I've cared so much I almost don't care at all although thag sounds terrible. I was really into it but now I just think it'll never happen, I can't even try properly because we don't know when I'm ovulating ! I didn't track anything last cycle other than my days because I knew nothing would show and I thought I'd try again this cycle but the CB has shown nothing. I don't think il even bother next cycle with them at all as like you said they hurt your bank balance ! £30 for a box of 20! X

@lucyrp I feel you. It’s such a hard road. They tell you in school, you have sex, you get pregnant and you have a baby. They miss out all the bits in between which are so so important. We have to try and stay positive for our own sakes. We will just have to keep having sex every other day and hope by some miracle we catch to be honest we had sex three days before I ovulated last time to fall pregnant so hoping for another miracle 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Stay strong, we can do this. It helps being on here to especially with my own sanity x

@Runnergirl1 sex education in school is literallt so wrong. They don't teach you anything about women's body's, or TTC it's just how to put a condom on a cucumber and how boys masturbate and have wet dreams! Oh and have sex once without contraception and you'll be pregnant! Couldn't be further from the truth. OH and I have only had sex on 4 different days so far and twice on those days this month. Just seems to be how it is, If we have it in the morning almost certainly happens again in the evening but then bot again for another few days 🤣 yeah it does help talking to everyone but then sometimes I do wonder as I have nothing to contribute about TTC as I'm currently not really TTC 🙈x

@SarahTTC2020 what's your ultrasound for?

@Juno231 I think I might be might you in the end this time, I was really good last time, 12 days I lasted 😂😬

@DKDK123 god I have everything crossed that little bean is burrowing down and snuggling good and just messing with you 🤞🏻

@galatea098 I think we've found overall the men are pretty relaxed for the 1st 12 months then all of a sudden something changes! It's just us that aren't. At all 🙄

@Runnergirl1 like @lucyrp said unfortunately that's just what they said to me (I def know I wasn't ovulating which won't be on your case) but I meant the whole "ride it out, it can happen after MMC and screw your cycles a bit, and oh yeah it could be another pg" do you mean you got loads of ewcm around day 21? Again everything crossed but it's best to keep going and not go near northisterone eh @Vil10 🙄

Def my kind of ppl here @Katao 🤗😘🥰

@lucyrp 👏🏻👏🏻 Amazing. That is exactly how I feel about it. It’s like my mmc I told everyone about it at work more or less but didn’t tell them I was pregnant that’s just what we are told not to tell people ‘just incase’ but I needed people to know and understand abit but again people don’t talk. I didn’t even know what a mmc was. My body was carrying a baby which wasn’t alive for half the time it was inside me and my body didn’t know what was going on (sorry I’ve gone deep)

Your lucky with your oh then. I’m pushing it having it every other day. When I thought I ovulated this time we did it two days in a row and it was a struggle bless him x
