So my AF has just arrived :( knew the ‘symptoms’ were too good to be true! I’m going to make a pact with my husband that from next week we will dtd every other night until my next period is due! I’ll keep taking the OPKs just to check that ovulation is occurring and then try to go with the flow! It’s so difficult when it’s something U want so much...but I have a good feeling that next month is the one! Good luck to all of you guys still in the game for this month 🤞🏻

girlmummy25 · 11/02/2021 19:14

@KazMumTo2 ahhh so sorry! Thats so rubbish. Thats commitment - really hope it works for you next month!
Yeah I think im going to do a lot more DTD next month too even though we DTD both of the 2 days before ov, the day of ov & the day after! With a couple before that too.
I hate it when it become a chore though.

My AF due tomorrow

WillowRose1411 · 11/02/2021 19:27

Aww I’m sorry @KazMumTo2 that af arrived 😔 that is commitment! I’m not sure we’d manage that so go you!

Fingers crossed af doesn’t arrive tomorrow for you @girlmummy25 🤞🏼

@Cakelaur what did the opk say?

KazMumTo2 · 11/02/2021 19:31

Yeh looking back we dtd quite a lot in the lead up to ovulation and maybe day of/after ovulation so I don’t quite know what went wrong! I’ve started taking pregnacare in the last few days so hopefully by next ovulation they will be really in my system but I don’t know what else to do 😔 any suggestions welcomed x

KazMumTo2 · 11/02/2021 19:32

@girlmummy25 fingers crossed you’re in a different situation to me come tomorrow x

WillowRose1411 · 11/02/2021 20:51

@KazMumTo2 how many months have you been ttc? It’s just one of those things lovely absolutely doesn’t mean you did anything wrong! It’s so hard though when you’ve done everything you can.

This month I’ve been trying really hard to eat better and cut down on caffeine. Lots of leafy veg and I’ve read seeds (pumpkin, sunflower and chia in my case) can be really beneficial for fertility and hormone production, pomegranate juice is meant to help with implantation but not sure how much evidence there is to support this.
I’ve also read that keeping your feet and body nice and warm, in turn warms your uterus and supports healthy blood flow to the area. Gentle stretching/ yoga and taking time to relax, take long deep breaths can help too. If you are stressed it’s not the optimal environment to grow a baby so look after number 1.
I’ve also been taking pregnacare max.
That’s everything I’m doing currently but I’m still yet to get a BFP!
It will happen when the time is right it’s just so hard when you want it so bad. I find the arrival of af the saddest thing I really struggle on that first day. Everything crossed for you next cycle! It will happen ❤️

Tomorrow is my period due day! Feel quite nervous.... really hoping it doesn't come up it's so hard as don't want to be too disappointed if it doesn't.

Hard to tell if I feel it's coming or not lol

KazMumTo2 · 11/02/2021 21:36

@WillowRose1411 I came off the pill back in July 2020...didn’t have a period until October so I guess 4 months TTC! My body seems to have changed so much since my 2nd baby! Before now my periods would be a regular 28 day cycle but now I’ve learnt that my ovulation doesn’t occur until day 20/21 and my cycles have increased to between 30-35 days! Hoping now that I know more about what’s going on I won’t miss the boat so to speak! I’m going to eat healthier this cycle (doing a good shop on Saturday) make sure I keep taking the vitamins and I might start to try an exercise class or perhaps (now you suggest it) yoga! It’s all so difficult to not think of anything else at the moment 1) because I want it so much and 2) because of the lack of anything else to do during covid!!! Hopefully you get your positive this month; when are u due? X

Cakelaur · 11/02/2021 21:42

Opk was negative. And I'm starting to feel like AF is on her nasty way. So pretty sure I'm out!

WillowRose1411 · 11/02/2021 21:43

@KazMumTo2 it’s so all consuming isn’t it! I really struggle with exercise but yoga really warms your body and is relaxing and gentle. I’m due on Tuesday I think! A bit confused with when I ovulated.

Looks like af is on her way. 😭😭😭

Delight12 · 12/02/2021 07:54

So I tested and got a BFN, I shall test again when/if AF is late

WillowRose1411 · 12/02/2021 07:58

Oh I’m sorry @cakelaur has it started? 😔
Another bfn for me this morning but I wasn’t expecting much else. 🙈

What dpo are you @WillowRose1411 and @Cakelaur

Cakelaur · 12/02/2021 08:32

I'm 10dpo today. AF due tomorrow. But looks like she's come a day early! Silly bitch!

WillowRose1411 · 12/02/2021 08:36

I’m 11dpo today (possibly) not due until Tuesday! @Cakelaur argh how frustrating! I’m so sorry.
Are you absolutely sure you ovulated when you did? I believe a 9/10 day luteal phase isn’t quite long enough. I used to have. 11/13 day lp and started taking a multivitamin which helped make it longer worth a try for next cycle? X

WillowRose1411 · 12/02/2021 08:38

My temp jumped up this morning so hoping that’s a good sign 🤞🏼

Anyone else in 2ww??

I've only just caught up!
So much has happened!!!
Not good for you ladies who got AF, so disappointing 😕
Was that a confirmed BFP @dippyegg32?? Very excited to know.
@Mellous sorry if its not what you were hoping. It took ages for my hcg to drop after my losses last year.
Fingers crossed.
Anyone else caved in yet and tested? Really hoping for some more BFP's.
The wait is sooo long!
Still early for me but no symptoms so convinced myself I'm out already.
Can't test until next week 😩

1sttime21 · 12/02/2021 09:12

Holding out on testing today but got another flashing smiley on the opk🙈6 days in a row now

Inthetww · 12/02/2021 09:40

@1sttime21 I wonder if you're heading for a bfp? I've heard lots of stories about them being positive before.
When will you test??? Fingers crossed for you

1sttime21 · 12/02/2021 09:44

@Inthetww
Af due 15th and my app says to test the 14th so will either be Sunday or Monday I test

girlmummy25 · 12/02/2021 09:47

AF got me this morning too! Back to CD1 we go. This will be my 4th cycle of trying

Inthetww · 12/02/2021 10:35

I was curious and tested the OPK, yesterday was empty but today I got flashing.
Will be interested to see if it means anything!
Oh no so sorry you got AF 😢
Onto the next month
