@MgW1 I was the same last time I conceived straight away and was shocked didn’t test until nearly 2 weeks late! So I just expected I would get pregnant straight away this time round and every month seems to just feel worse and worse because I thought it would have happened by now. I’m 22 so age is on my side but really don’t want to get to my due date without being pregnant 😢 the worst part is trying not to stress yourself out because you end up getting more stressed! Let’s hope for some happy news before the end of 2020 that’s what I’m really hoping for ❤️🌈

@RubyRainbow16
I conceived 1st month last time and didnt test til I was a week late because I didnt think i would get preg so soon. I got pregnant quickly with my others but I was a lot younger!!!! I think this is this first month that I ovulated though so I feel reassured I am getting there. Its just hard not to get stressed which wont help matters. I think the stress of it all has really upskittled me really as had terrible spots and my hair has been limp and dull , also was losing hair in the first month. Guess in reality my body not quite ready yet and if it doesnt happen this month I just have to focus on things for next month. Would it be lovely though if we got some happy news by the end of such a dreadful year ?! 🤷‍♀️ xxx
@Happyvibes
So Im almost certain I ovulated this month ( 3 rd cycle post mc) if it turns out that I didnt and next month is the same do you think I should speak to gp about clomid? How long did you wait? I defo had high OPK but not sure if I peaked. Last 2 months negatives. Xx

@MgW1 still early days, fingers crossed for you!

I don't know what is wrong with me this month, but I feel impatient, sad because I'm already preparing for another negative result even though I'm only 5DPO and fed up! If it doesn't work this month I think I'll be crushed. I ovulate later this month as well so AF is due 2 days later than normal.

Those of you that have been TTC for a long time, how do you do it?! I've been trying less than 6 months and I can't cope!

👆 sorry for the above ! Dodgy wifi 🙈 👆

MgW1 · 03/11/2020 21:34

@MSG92
I thought it was my wifi , your post has come up 3 times too. Maybe a blip with the site. Well If AF comes thurs im having a bottle of wine on sat night , netflix and a takeaway!!! Iv then asked my husband to cut down to 1 night a week until xmas week which will cover trying in Nov & Dec. If nothing happens then i am doing no tracking or testing in January of any kind, gona have a few more wines on a weekend , drunken sex and see if a change of tactic helps the matter!!! Thats my 3 month plan 🤣🤣 xxx

MSG92 · 03/11/2020 21:53

Oh god sorry everyone! I pressed post and nothing happened! Had to copy and paste my post and refresh the page, think it's the site!!

@MgW1 that sounds good, I just don't know how people do it! I don't think I can go another month with a negative :/ I think it's because it hapenned first time so I just expected it to happen straight aftermy next cycle.

MgW1 · 03/11/2020 22:05

@MSG92
Did you not say you had dtd every day for 8 days the other day?! Is that how you conceived last time? We just dtd on days 1,3,5 &6 of my fertile window. Xx

MSG92 · 03/11/2020 22:13

@MgW1 we did 6 in 8 days, in July we did 5 in 7 with 3 days in the FW last one being 2 days before predicted ovulation, but I wasn't testing so not sure on ovulation date. I was just so convinced I was last month and then I wasn't

MgW1 · 03/11/2020 22:44

@MSG92
Oh it gets disheartening, just got to try and relax , it will happen because you conceived before it just may take longer if you stress too much or your body not fully recovered from last time. Im alright telling you .... i cant follow my own advice!!! 🤣 xx

SS123456 · 04/11/2020 07:00

Does anyone here chart their bbt? I mc'd at 5 weeks on the 19th October and my body is showing signs that it will ovulate again any day now (high opks and ewcm) but my bbt has remained above the cover line and not dropped back down after the mc. At the moment my bbt is about 0.5 degrees higher than it usually would be pre ovulation and is at my usual post ovulation level. Has anyone else had the same? Does this mean too much progesterone will still be present and may stop me ovulating?

KM89 · 04/11/2020 09:24

Hi everyone. First month tracking with OPKs and I think I'm 5DPO, im trying to do my BBT but im a restless sleeper and im struggling to get a baseline, is there an easier way? Blush . The wait is killing me this me month. I think tracking has made me even more insane! I never felt like this when trying the first time round, I got disappointed and sad eveytime my period came but I never obsessed for the whole month. I think having a miscarriage has made me want it even more and its making me very impatient 😩. I can't stop thinking about it and its literally taking over my every thought.

susiebluebell · 04/11/2020 09:34

@KM89 I know how you feel, I actually deleted my Femometer app and am now only doing OPKs from a couple of days before predicted ovulation. That level of tracking every day just wasn't healthy for me personally.

I think LOTS of us have gone through phases of getting obsessed and needing to take a step back. It's not unheard of to conceive quickly once you stop trying 😉 I'm not that chilled, I do track ovulation because OH and I often don't see each other for days at a time. But doing less has definitely improved my outlook xxx

MgW1 · 04/11/2020 09:43

@KM89
I have decided to not do opks. Got so obsessed this time I just felt it was unhealthy for me. AF due tomorrow , I have been pregnant 4 times ( last one mc) so I think id know if I was also BFN when i tested. Im just going to dtd every other day based of my app for a week. 90% sure I ovulated this month but previous 2 months I didnt ovulated post mc. It will happen when your body is ready , remember you managed to get pregnant last time..... im so i patient too. I really want to get pregnant again to help me shift my focus and feel.more positive however in reality il be an anxious mess!! Xxx

MgW1 · 04/11/2020 09:44

@SS123456
Could it be that you have ovulated already? Xx

SS123456 · 04/11/2020 11:41

@MgW1 No I don't think so as I would usually ovulate around CD17 (I'm CD17 today if I count the first day of my mc bleed as CD1) and I got a peak opk this morning. It's odd that the bbt never dropped down, it's not something I have had in any month before but I guess so soon after a mc will do strange things to the body 🤷🏻‍♀️. Would this indicate I still have lots of progesterone still hanging around?

HappyVibes · 04/11/2020 12:46

@SS123456 that definitely looks like a peak to me ... a very strong and certain one too. Regarding BBT I don’t track that so can’t help sorry. But, I do know that there are lots of variants with BBT that can affect it, and not necessarily always to do with fertility specific hormones. Ie sleep, diet, timing. I wouldn’t worry too much re this if you haven’t had issue previously with ovulating. Deffo I rely get DTD though, as your OPK is indicating ovulation for sure within the next 24-36 hours!

Furbsies · 04/11/2020 12:51

@ss123456 I agree with happyvibes. Time to get some nice and cosy dtd time in with OH
