Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

@CeeJay1987 think ill hold out till sunday now since as u said the negative tests just make me feel down

@CycloGoose

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well and not driving themselves insane like I always seem to do. *@lucea87* it's probably just your body playing tricks on you because you are thinking about it - like a watched kettle etc. *@Slinks8113* I don't think I'm going to be far behind you with my unexpected short cycle. I'm on cd4 now. I'm going to start the purple CB on CD7 this time. Last time I went straight from blank to peak by the way. *@Iloveoreos* I think it's quite common to not have symptoms. Just as common as having symptoms for no reason. That's why we all get so confused and tied up.

Our ensuite shower has started leaking so there's our next DIY job 😵

@CycloGoose eek I hope I don't have that haha. I was really restless last night thinking about it and wondering if it would show fertile days straight away and I'd missed the opportunity to DTD! Even though I usually ovulate much later in the month...Anyone got any calming tips?! I need some zen 😂
Iloveoreos · 16/02/2021 12:15

Whats purple cb?

CeeJay1987 · 16/02/2021 12:42

@Iloveoreos it’s Clear Blue OPK, the purple colour digital ones. I use them and find it a lot less stressful than if I were to temp. They are suppose to pick up the 4 most fertile days in your cycle xx

Iloveoreos · 16/02/2021 12:44

@CeeJay1987 ah ok.got it. Im going to wait and see if AF arrives and then buy

Is anyone using concieveplus or preseed lube?

BWaiting · 16/02/2021 14:38

@Iloveoreos We used conceive plus lube this cycle. Hoping it's helped things get where they need to!! We used to tube not the applicators.
Are you using any? x

Iloveoreos · 16/02/2021 14:55

@bwaiting used it in october when i did get preg but ended in a chemical. Havent used it since. Thinking to use it again. No harm in trying right

CeeJay1987 · 16/02/2021 15:39

@Iloveoreos we used conceiveplus tube this cycle! Fingers crossed for us all! 🤞🏼

Iloveoreos · 16/02/2021 16:02

@CeeJay1987 now i wish i had used it this cycle too 🤣

CycloGoose · 16/02/2021 17:07

I bought some of that lube... Seriously think I've bought everything now! But I find that, when I'm fertile, I don't really need it. Sorry if tmi!
I need the Zen tips too. I've been glossing today and now sorting out one of the many piles of that have accumulated in the house. Still can't stop thinking about why my cycle suddenly ditched a week. Why do we torture ourselves?
Statistically, one of you should conceive this month, right!?
Looking forward to not being on AF right now and thinking happy thoughts!

Iloveoreos · 16/02/2021 17:34

Hoping all of us concieve this month xx

Hi ladies, finally got a flashing smiley on the clearblue ovulation test 🎉 all stations are go 😂
@CycloGoose I’ve thought about buying it but definitely don’t need it 😂🙈 if anything I think it would make things worse haha.

Hi to everyone that has joined! I hope we get some bfp this month!

Anyone else ovulate quite late in their cycles? I ovulate on day 21 and then af comes on day 31 I’ve got progesterone pessaries here from my last miscarriage and I’ve read some women are prescribed them to lengthen their luteal phase so I’m wondering if I should just them from 2dpo until AF

OP posts:
CycloGoose · 16/02/2021 22:38

Woohoo @Sallyjo27 🔥🔥🔥
I've been fairly consistently at the 2 week mark but who knows after this month!?
Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I don't know anything about the progesterone pessaries! 6 months in so no medical help just told to relax and have more 'fun'

CeeJay1987 · 17/02/2021 08:43

Anyone feel any symptoms today?

Daniellejo · 17/02/2021 09:42

I’m on DPO7 and I was so tired yesterday. That’s really the only thing that’s different with me. I did have some cramps around dpo 3 and felt dizzy. I’m going through waves of being really hungry and not wanting to eat. I’m also really bored of waiting 🤣

els10 · 17/02/2021 09:59

@CeeJay1987 not one!! 8dpo. I'd take some cramps, achey boobs, a bit of nausea, ANYTHING just give me a symptom 😂

@Sallyjo27 I ovulated late this month, day 22! It's not usual for me though, hopefully it goes back to where it was before. If not ive heard evening primrose oil can help, might have to give that a go next month.
With your MCs did you have the same early symptoms? I don't know where to be looking out for the same as I had for my MC. I think it would help me chill out a bit as I'd know exactly what would happen. Lead balloon boobs 😂

Slinks8113 · 17/02/2021 10:01

Woohoo @Sallyjo27! I'm still on the circle at the moment so just dtd every other day haha. It's only cycle day 9 for me though and I've been ovulating late in the month at the moment so could be in for a wait! Hubby won't know what's hit him when the face starts flashing 😂😂

SarahHouse · 17/02/2021 10:05

Hi all! Hope you dont mind me joining in 🥰 currently on our 3rd month of TTC our first. Googling away through the dreaded 2 weeks. I am currently at 11dpo..but i unusually ovulated late this month (cd21). I am not sure if i am late on my period or not with the late ovulation! I always start 14 days after so waiting out until im 14 dpo. Got some mild cramping thats been on and off for a couple of days but i get that before AF anyway...hoping good luck for everyone in the same wait ❤

lucea87 · 17/02/2021 10:14

Morning All!!

Still waiting here with no clue what's going on!! Still cramps, still high cervix, still no AF, sore boobs especially nipples...holding out until Friday.....!!!

Roseleafshine · 17/02/2021 11:23

Fingers crossed @lucea87! 🙂

kaylsd · 17/02/2021 14:51

Hey there ladies! Sorry been so quiet been so mad at work Ive not had chance to think properly! 8 dpo today and lack of symptoms for the first time ever! Normally I get sore boobs crampy slightly feeling off but nill.. don't know if this is a bad thing or a good thing! Still having strange dreams though had these since about 2-3dpo, last night there was a magic door which I could jump through to go to any destination I wanted so I chose Maldives's... if only it was that simple 😂😂😉

Hope you ladies are all hanging in there! For anyone 7dpo plus, when are you guys considering to test? I'm gonna hold out to 14 dpo 🤞🏻

CeeJay1987 · 17/02/2021 15:43

@kaylsd I’ve been having strange dreams too! I can’t remember what they were now, but I remember thinking... why on Earth did I dream that! Haha I wish I went to Maldives in my dream! 😬

I’ve been needing to use the bathroom more, but not sure that’s anything. Apart from that I’ve woken up with a dull ache in my lower abdomen that hasn’t gone away all day. Feels like AF could start at anytime (not due until Sunday). I am not sure what to think at the moment but I will hold out until Sunday to see if AF comes! xx

SarahHouse · 17/02/2021 15:50

Ah good luck @kaylsd @CeeJay1987!! I tend to have a lot of strange dreams so thats nothing unusual for me 🤣. Im holding out to 14dpo to test, but im now on cd32 (normally average about a 27/28 day cycle) however i know i ovulated late so im assuming thats why ive had nothing yet..dont want to get my hopes up! But ive had this super mild cramping which is unusual but again..could just be AF on the way. So hard not to drive yourself crazy symptom spotting. Hoping everyones had a good day ❤

Yay were cycle twins! Sunday is judgement day also for me, I don't know is whether I should go out and invest in some branded PT tests for the occasion or just stick to my cheapies until something shows up on them because I've seen so many negs before on alsorts of brands I've now thought I've got used to seeing BFN i don't know how I would be like if I saw a second line on anything but a OPK 🙈 I've stocked up on AF supplies for the occasion I wonder which is gonna be used the AF for the HPT cheapies hehe! Still managing to sway away from dr google though which I'm happy about!

Are you having ash today with it being Ash Wednesday? Mines been nicely simmering all day 😋

When will you be 14 dpo sweetheart? I actually feel so calm and relaxed this month I prob should be a little bit nervous because if I do get my BFP the due date times will be a trickey one for me as my belated wedding Receiption is on bonfire night and I've already had that moved 4 times from covid (we got married before lockdown 3 come in but postponed the party bit) and I don't even know how I'll tackle that subject again with all the event managers 😂🙈
