@selina37 I feel better today thank you as they say selina until you can see a period you not out i can’t explain why I felt like that it my other half said I’m just gonna keep quite everything I do either annoy you or make you cry or get you angry I did notice that I was very snappy but couldn’t help the way I felt tried to stop with no success my period is due in a week 🙄

Thanks @Trying4mylastmiracle

Oh I know it can be really hard 😔 moods take over! I could tell you where I am in a cycle from mr mood. Keep your chin up xx

@selina37 I know it’s hard he was looking at me today like thank god she seems a bit nice 😂I do feel guilty for being moody u know sometimes the joys of being a woman

So exciting @sunbird24 ☘️

👋🏾
Hope everyone is doing well

Sending positive energy to you all 😊

@Happyhappy37 how are you doing?

@Loladoodle i am doing great. How are you doing

Why is my body like bloody clockwork when it comes to ovulation signs and AF signs but it can't do what it's designed to do and bloody reproduce?! 😭😭

@Happyhappy37 I’m grand just getting on with things really and trying to assure myself it will happen for us at some stage! 😅 being as positive as possible with the odd hormonal outburst 🤪

@selina37 I’m like clockwork too! It will happen... perfectly usual for it to take a bit of time (that’s what I’m telling myself 😅)

@Loladoodle thank you 🙂 I feel like I could set my watch to it, literally felt ovulation and DTD while i felt it!

Wondering whether DP has somewhat dried out by then 🙈 as it was the third day in a row!

I seem to get bright red spotting a couple of days before AF. It's always on the loo after a number 2 (sorry). I wonder if hormonal changes affect the way my cervical erosion bleeds 🤔

Ffs... oh well onto next month I guess.

Hope everyone else is doing well. Apologies for my sorry self today!

@selina37 I used to spot 4-5 days before af, and conceived two children despite this. I now spot much less just a day or sometimes 2 and my cycles are longer than they used to be (around 26-28 instead of 23) which in theory should be better! I’m on cycle 7 (af is def coming this weekend all the signs are here and countless bfns) and we have never missed ovulation, always dtd on the lead up, the day of and the day after. These things just happen when the time is right, so many people get pregnant from dtd once or dtd not on ov day or close to... it’s all down to fate I believe. Just keep trying your best that’s all we can do! It’s hard though I know!

@Sunbird24

Ooh, shiny new thread! I had this little nugget transferred this afternoon, so now in 2WW...

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 Really hope its sticky for yoy

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well! I’m SO behind on discussions as I haven’t posted in a few months (since my partner and I split up). I finally had my AFC and AMH appointment today (I kept the test appointments for my own peace of mind and future reference). I don’t have my AMH results yet (they said next week). But my AFC was 5 on one side and 6 on the other. Does anyone know anything about AFC or if that’s good/bad? They didn’t explain anything at all at the clinic. It was day 7 (if that makes a difference). Thanks so much!! Hope there have been some more BFPs on here. Hugs xx

Having a me day today. Just fed up with everything. I know we’ve only been trying since the start of the year and I knew it would take time and others have been trying longer but I can’t help feeing crap about the whole thing. Just found out my brother and sister in law are expecting again and I’m over the mooN for them genuinely but I still cried when I came off the phone and feel awful for getting upset over it. It just seems like everyone I know is getting pregnant And I can’t help but worry it won’t ever happen. OH is no use cos he just says to stop being negative 🙄. On a different note, in fw right now and neither of us can be bothered. I just thought it would be easier than this 😢

@SnowWhite1985 you're back! I'm afraid I can't help with numbers but glad to see you're back! Positive vibes your way! 💞

@LT103 I feel you, I feel the same! Try and destress and relax.

@Loladoodle thank you, We seem to do everything right but it just doesn't catch it seems. Life is a bit chaotic at the moment though, so perhaps that's why 🤔

Everything happens for a reason, right?

Sorry you’re both feeling down @LT103 @selina37 - it’s so hard 😭
I’ve been feeling much more positive in myself post-break up but then ttc is a problem / longing that doesn’t go away. I just have no one to do it with now lol (...I guess if you don’t laugh you’d cry).
Had a really emotional week this week as my sister had a miscarriage. She’s obviously devastated but it hit me really hard too, spent the whole day crying when I found out. Just felt so incredibly sad. Life is hard sometimes.
Take good care of yourselves ladies xxx

Keeping my 🤞🏽Crossed for you

I've no idea what DPO i am as I didnt tracke ovulation this month but it normally occurs CD11, I'm not CD19 and I've got terrible cramps, dizziness and backache.

Cramps I always get my dizziness and backache is new to me this month! 🤞

Hope everyone is ok!

I really should have proof read that post! 😂🤦‍♀️

@Happyhappy37 thank you lovely! You too! 🤞

@LT103 I know what you feeling it’s a painful feeling but like your other half said stop being negative he don’t mean it badly think he doesn’t want you being upset and that having an effect on you as it will affect you and what you trying to achieve but I’m sure he knows and he feels the same way you do my other half is the same he says I don’t mind whatever happens his happy raising my daughter as his but then when we having a conversation of having one together I can see it in his eyes the joy it will him it will be his first however I can’t help but worry about my body not doing what it’s supposed to do due to age so just keep your head up keep walking you be okay I’ve had a week from hell cried a lot when I got better emotionally thrush decided to attack me so just decided to eat crisps and not bother this week like that’s it I give up lol 😂

Thank you @Trying4mylastmiracle @SnowWhite1985 @selina37. I think I just needed a day to wallow and OH did the best job of avoiding the subject and just trying to cheer me up so today is a better day. I think sometimes things just get too much.

Hope everyone else is doing well!!

I feel like I'm going bonkers with the amount of symptoms I have going on at the minute.

This is so not like me! 🤞🤞
