Long cycle girls TTC #3

[Newbie0818]

New thread just in case the old one gets full and we lose each other!

@xoJellyBean did u get peak on your opks? Are you going to keep testing? Yes I can't believe how early it is 🙊 yes I DTD last night will do it again tonight and probably tomorrow to cover myself xx

@Skl2021 yes here's mine! So hard not to overthink it all 🙈 yayy you're well covered 😊 we will be in the TWW together 🤞🏻 xx

@xoJellyBean feels so weird going in the tww again so soon 🤣 just hope my opks start to go light now and that IV ovulated. IV had some months were I had peaks for days 🙈 I was exhausted by the end of it 🤣 xx

@Skl2021 I know, I'm so sceptical that it's happened lol and to think I wasn't going to test for a few days!! 😱🤯 are you testing every few hours? I just did another and it's totally blank lol xx

@xoJellyBean me too! I thought I may start later seen as tho I never ovulate until the 20s but something in me made me do one and I'm glad I did! 🙊🙈 Normally go through so many opks in the lead up to it as I start too early! Yes I have done 3 today 🤣🤦 still very dark hoping tomorrow it starts to lighten xx

@Skl2021 haha same here! I'm forever getting deliveries of OPKs from Amazon 🤣 which ones do you use? My dog accidentally walked up against my nipple there now and owww it was so sore, hope it's a sign I did ovulate 🤞🏻lol hope yours goes down soon or you'll be totally knackered 🤣 xx

@xoJellyBean IV had poundshop ones and cheap one step from like eBay. But lately iv been using the femometer ones as there alot bigger and clearer and I have the app for them. What about you? Yes hope that is a sign! What dpo are you? X

@Skl2021 I use Femometer too! So much easier to read and the app is so handy. I use their thermometer too😊 I'm either 1 or 2dpo ✨ xx

@xoJellyBean I would say you ovulated cd12. Maybe just a slow rise. One round of ivf through nhs 😬

@Suki2020 yes apparently I did! Who knows. How are you doing? 🤞🏻 as always fingers crossed for you this month

@jellybean u doing ok? I'm officially in the tww with you 🤞🤞🎊🎉🙌🙊 xx

Also in the tww! 🤞Didn't temp so can't guarantee but all other signs point to ovulation on CD 40/41.

🤞 for everyone!

@sparklyhippo I'm 1 dpo today 🙊 what are you? Yes I don't temp either but got positive opks so IL take it 🤣🙌🤞 x

@Skl2021 yay, time for the next two weeks to drag 🤣 I'm 5dpo! Been super busy and have a busy week ahead so I'm happy enough to be distracted lol how are you feeling about this month? Xx

@sparklyhippo 🤞🏻🤞🏻 fingers crossed for you. Do you know what dpo??

@xoJellyBean I'm not used to this being in the tww so early 🤣 don't know what to do with myself. The first week will be alright goes quickly it's when I get to like 8 dpo I tend to cave and start testing 🤦🙈 can't help myself! I Try not to get hopeful as every month has ended in heartache. I just don't think it's going to happen until it does 🙊 what about you xx

@Skl2021 I know, me too. This has been the earliest ever for me! Plus I don't think I have ovulated for 3 cycles. I hope this is all a good sign for us 🥰 when is af due for you? I feel positive about this cycle because I got the strongest peak I've had in agessss 🤞🏻 xx

@xoJellyBean my lp is usually around 13 days but I tend to spot every month on 10dpo at night like clockwork 😩 so hoping that doesn't happen! I will have caved and tested before then anyway 🙈 oh yeh hopefully that's a good sign for you 🤞🤞 for the both of us! Xx

@xoJellyBean @Skl2021 - I'm 2/3 DPO. I find it hard not to test as well! It's willpower I just don't have 🤣 Hopefully some good news for us all this month! 🤞

@sparklyhippo oooh were all around the same time then 🙌☺️ haha we can test early together then 🙊🤣 I say every month that I won't test early but I just can't do it 🤦🤣 xx

I specifically bought some cheap tests last month so I could test early (even though I knew the outcome) and not feel bad about it 🤣🤣

Hi!

Hope you're all well.

I have been TTC for around a year now, had one positive in January which ended up as a MMC. (Such an awful experience that was)

This is the first month using ovulation tests so bare with me I am clueless! I've googled so much.

I have done 4 tests so far - 2 on CD10 and 2 on CD11 which is today! It looks like it is getting darker to me but from what I understand the 2 lines need to be the same darkness/darker for peak?

Hopefully we will get the BFP we want soon❤️

@sparklyhippo oh yes I definitely stock up with the cheapies so I don't feel too guilty 🤣🤣
@EmL98 sorry to hear about the miscarriage. I also use ovulation tests as my ovulation changes every month and I never know when it is 🙈 Yes the lines need to be darker or as dark as control line for it to be positive! But it sounds like your heading in the right direction 🤞 hopefully it gets darker over the next few days. Then when you get your positive test you usually ovulate in the next 24 hours xx

uhh girls, ive been doing so much better, wedding stuff has helped (only 17 days) so last Friday went out for dinner with my friend was so lovely to catch up, but talk turned to babies and she then gently told me she's pregnant again with her second, 15 weeks so not even early days, of course I'm so happy for her but knowing she's only been trying again since January and first pregnancy all worked out really hit me hard, i really struggled to hold back the tears and just ordered myself a wine she asked if i was ok and i just said yeah i know we will get there. but yeah was tough. i mean dont get me wrong i am super happy for her and knowing her son is going to have a sibling is lovely just its so hard as feel like everyone is pregnant accept me and its so draining. anyway rant over just had to let out how i feel or just breaks you down, thanks for reading.
Sending love xxxxxxxx

@EmL98 Welcome and so sorry to hear about your mmc, its so horrid to go through i know all too well as i too also had a mmc in january and have been ttc for a year and know how tough ttc journey can be let alone having losses mixed in.

Yes that's right about the ovulation sticks, you want darker line or just as dark for your peak.

Sending baby dust your way, good luck xxxx

@LeeTTCRainbow awh I'm so sorry ❤️❤️ totally understand it though it's such a gut wrenching feeling!! Hope you're okay xx

@Skl2021 how are you today? 6dpo here 🤞🏻✨ x

@EmL98 welcome 🥰 sorry about your MMC! Baby dust xx
