1dpo! Anyone else?! Let's keep each other sane!

[littleeggcup]

The long tww begins!!! My positive opk was Friday so guessing today I'm 1dpo. Been dtd everyday for last week so hoping we have caught! Although I only have one Fallopian tube due to ectopic two months ago xxx

@Er1608 @MamaMoonbeam

I have no idea - this is my first real cycle and i haven't been tracking anything yet! I think my period was probably due any day now.

I will try a digital/ more sensitive one tomorrow and see! Shocked - i want expecting anything this month!

@MamaMoonbeam I only started temping last month due to the fluctuations I was having, but having said that I think my LP is fairly consistent, it’s just my FP that seems to be varying. I’ve not ovulated yet. I usually get cramps when I ovulate. Last month I got my peak at cd12 which is early for me, had cramps on the same day (albeit later in the evening).

@Dogmom92 oh! Well goodluck. I guess I like to plan and have tracked my cycle for years so it wasn't a big step to get OPKs,nor to add temping, this cycle. This will be our 2nd cycle. I had a chemical my first.

@grumpsy it's a bit odd your FP fluctuates so much - have you changed anything within that time? Apparently, vit d can be linked to regulating FP 🤷🏻‍♀️ dr google told me that! 😅

@MamaMoonbeam no nothing other than pregnacare. It may be because work has been particularly stressful for the last few months. I’m grateful to be able to work, but at the moment I feel like I’m living at work rather than working from home 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈

@Grumpsy I have heard a lot about pregnacare messing up peoples cycles. As you say, stress is also a contributor and everyone I know is pretty stressed right now.

Something weird going on with me, my AF is exceptionally light - it started yesterday morning with a big wipe of bright red but since then its faded to hardly anything and now its just light pink on wiping. Ive not even had to wear anything as its only on wiping. I wonder if it will progress.

@Grumpsy yea, I've heard some ladies have their cycle 'adjusted' by pregnacare. I dont think a hsg should still be affecting you.

@Toastedsesame oh that's weird about your af. Mine was a bit weird this cycle too bit not like that!

Does anyone else use Femometer? I'm really liking the app and it has such useful articles!
Really looking forward to finishing this group of articles! 😁

@MamaMoonbeam I have heard good things, is the app free?

Got the weirdest stuff going on, so my bleeding has almost stopped, its like a pink tinged cm now, the whole time I've been bleeding cervix has been riding high (usually comes down rly low for AF) my boobs still really hurt, specifically my nipples and I have no AF pain whatsoever, but my ovaries are aching a bit. Don't want to get false hope but just wondering if it is maybe not AF.

@Toastedsesame the app is free but there's some bits you do have to pay for.
The cervix still being high could be a good thing!
I just finished af and my cervix is already retreating back up, doesn't take her long to be heading to the high position

Hi ladies, just an update from myself!

Currently 2 days late, going off the flo app anyway and it's usually spot on. I took a test yesterday both cb and frer and bfn🙄

Hey @Taylor1234 where is your cervix to? Is it sitting high, medium or low?

Is it bad that i don't really know how to check that? @MamaMoonbeam

@Taylor1234 same!!

@Er1608 now I don't feel so bad! I cant say it's ever something I've thought of checking, I've just searched how to and It feels like it's sitting medium/high but I couldn't say 100%

@Taylor1234 it's not bad at all. I am just very aware of mine and assume others know too.
It can be a really good tell if you know its position thought your cycle. It's high and soft during ovulation (SHOW - soft/short, high, open, wet) and it drops down to being firm, low and a little open just before AF. During pregnancy it's high, soft and closed.
Another useful factor of our body!

@littleeggcup @Toastedsesame @Grumpsy

How are we all doing, ladies? I'm sure I've got a little cold starting with being cd9 - 3 days until fw and im feeling meh! 🤧

@MamaMoonbeam hey! I'm just coming into my fertile week now but have an a bit of a shitty time with dp last couple days so not really sure if we will be focusing on dtd much!!

Hiya ladies, just a quick update😁 AF has arrived today but hopefully next month will be the one! X

Hiya @MamaMoonbeam Are you west country by any chance?

Despite all the weirdness my AF was pretty standard in the end. Can't help but hope can you! CD5 today, hoping its done by tomorrow and can get back to frantically dtd and weeing on OPKs. How are you doing?

@Toastedsesame ... I am! 🤔 How did you know?
I'm alright! Got my box of OPKs ready, pee cup on standby, lady garden trimmed (still attempting to make DTD sexy 😘 ), all ready for -5do. I'm weirdly looking forward to the poas routine 🤷🏻‍♀️ weird you had a strange af - does it happen often?

@littleeggcup oh no! Sorry to hear that. Are you ok?

@taylor1234 fx this is our month!

Fingers crossed for all us ladies that haven't gotten our bfp this month! Maybe a nice Christmas present for us all in December, and if not at least we get to celebrate Christmas with alcohol!! Always helps☺️ x

@MamaMoonbeam It was just the way you phrased something! I also live that way.

Haha I'm the same. I'm sure my DH has noticed I only make effort with dtd two weeks out of four!

My cycles have been all over the place for about 8/9 months, had all sorts of blood tests, scans and apparently all normal but it does seem odd. I was worried it might be perimenopause but GP doesn't seem to think so. I do have thyroid issues so might be related. Newest thing is shooty pains through one of my boobs! WTH

@Toastedsesame where are you to? Haha 🙈

I have silky pjs to wear and oh gets excited when I break those out too 😅

How strange! My cycle varies sometimes in length and heaviness but there's usually a reason like illness or change in diet or stress 🤷🏻‍♀️ hope they settle into normality for you

How are we all doing?

I'm cd7 today and swear I'm getting ovulation pain already 🙈

CD 11, ov due in 6 days! Im alright, fw is just about to kick off so LH testing begins as does the BD! 😁
