TTC February/March

[Sallyjo27]

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.

@CycloGoose can hardly see anything on photo, making me out to be a liar 😂
Could’ve been my imagination x

@lucea87 Thank you! Good luck with baby dancing 😉 x

I feel I look one way and I can see it and then the other way I can't. Time will tell!!

I'm still spotting so guessing I'm out 🤷🏼‍♀️ Not full AF so on tenterhooks for the remainder of the TWW

@KatieLooLa I took a screen shot and put it so it's a negative image for you and I swear I can see it for you!

@CycloGoose it’s bit hard to tell either way 😂
Spotting not bad sign, not out till AF sings! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@KatieLooLa I can see the faintest line! It's certainly not white! When did you take the photo?xxx

@lucea87 Took photo a minute or so before posting but the test is hours (almost a day) old so could just be an evaporation line x

Ah ok, maybe, think the blue ones are notorious for evaps but if still no AF you're definitely not out!

@KatieLooLa i can definately see a faint line..🥰🥰

@Iloveoreos fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Would be nice after trying for so long. I’m having to isolate at the moment as someone from work got a positive covid test. Thankfully when I bought that test I also got a pack of 2 cheapy tests also the digital Clearblue ones that say how far along. Think I may have a pregnancy test strip from the OPK pack. 😂 Starting to think I may have an addiction

POAS should be recognised as an addiction for sure 😂😂

How long have you been trying @KatieLooLa ? Glad you have some sticks to keep you going!
I almost caved and bought an expensive test but I think I'll know tomorrow if this is AF so I may as well wait and see.
12dpo tomorrow supposed to be a pretty good test day!

Lol, at least there's always POAS support groups on mumsnet! Before my last pregnancy I refused to allow myself to buy any tests. When I started to get an inkling I ordered a test online and waited a whole week for it to be delivered before I found out! That week was something else. X

@lucea87 😂 I can imagine the support groups!
@CycloGoose about a year but that said we skipped a couple months though so probably more like 6 months in all of activity trying
@minthumbugs I’ve been trying not to do any but I caved

Ohhhh I've got so much hope for you lovely lady xxxxxx @KatieLooLa

Haven’t tested today, I’m going to leave it till Sunday. Looked at the old one and swear I saw an extremely light line but it’s probably just an evaporation line... or my imagination. Will see in the next few days 🤞🏻[/quote]
I can see a line in your CB! The same happened to me last month using the exact same test and it ended up for a EVAP for me and AF came the day after fingers and toes crossed you get a good result this morning 🤞🏻🌈

[quote CycloGoose]@kaylsd yeah it's a private school up to 13 but I've been in private since I moved down to London and this is the first place with grounds. Salary is the worst I've had for a long while though! 🤣 But it does make a big difference to come here when it's beautiful. I like seeing the seasons change here. There's a beautiful walkway to the local church and it's lines with daffodils. The boys have no idea how lucky they are!

I'm 11dpo and I feel as rough as a badger's arse. There was pink last night and I swear I've been going to the loo extra times just to see if she's there. I've got approximately a million of those cheap tests but they're a bit useless. Negatives again today. Expecting AF any second. No hopes being raised because it's too hard to have them dashed every time.

Got my OvuSense in the basket, just waiting until full flow to click purchase!

@katieloola that's exciting news that there might have been a line! Take a photo! Excited for you and 🤞🤞🤞[/quote]
What's the Ovusense like? Is it worth a buy? Your school sound absolutely beautiful I love seeing the seasons change too spring is my favourite time of year when the blossom starts to fall off the trees :') I also like looking at snowdrops I was on about this last night if there's possibility of growing snowdrops in my garden but I wouldn't say I'm a dab hand at gardening one bit to keep anything going 😂🙈

How are you getting on this morning sweet? were you early this time last month than expected? It's such an nervy time when you get closer to AF or BFP because you never know which it's gonna end up being, I really do hope AF stays at bay and this is your month I'm on cd18 today so hoping to see some rising OPK for a long weekend of baby dancing for my birthday tomorrow🙌🏻🌈🙈❤️

Did a test, negative. Not even a hint of a line this time. Still 3 days till AF is due though... my hopes have died a little I must admit but there is a small part that thinks it might all work out x

What kind of test @KatieLooLa ? Mine all negative so far but just the free ones that come with my OPKs.

@kaylsd I haven't bought the OvuSense yet as I haven't seen the red blood though I'm sure it's coming. Just being evil. I'll let you know though. Think snowdrops are pretty hardy and take care of themselves so a nice one to plant XXX Really excited for your birthday wild weekend! Hope the storm didn't blow your hot tub away!

At the edge of my sanity today. AF should be here according to Femometer and average luteal phase over last few cycles. Still brown spotting, heavier but not heavy. Cramps. I'm sure AF coming so I just wish it would either arrive or go away completely. I couldn't find my thermometer this morning so I don't know bbt. Just feeling really worked up and stupidly emotional. Not quite sure how I'm going to get my poker face on for my lessons today!

@CycloGoose tried the digital Clearblue one, one left in box, still have cheapy ones and free one. Will wait till Monday to test again if AF doesn’t come Sunday x

It was the first thing I checked this morning I imagined it being like Dorothys house on the wizard of oz flying away luckily it's stayed put! The pegs have come up slightly so hubs has gone and hammered them back down, he surprised me this morning with this breakfast he had pre ordered :') it literally was so nice!

AF is a pain in our backsides! Fingers and toes crossed that it stays at bay 🤞🏻 try and keep positive regardless what happens chick, we're all on the same journey together!

I was having a discussion with hubs last night saying I vow never to go back onto the pill again, my friends just had a PE and ended up in hospital really poorly and only route cause they could find a slight fault was the fact she was ok the pill, absolutely terrifies life out of me now as she's so fit and healthy otherwise :( it's so fun being a women 👀

Might be still early yet darling you never know until AF shows, have you seen this chart of when you should consider testing based on your cycle length?

@kaylsd yeah I'm never going back on it. So scary for your friend! That breakfast looks so yummy. What a lovely husband you have!
Definitely AF so back to CD1. Getting AF is not the problem but why bugger around with the tiniest spots of nothing for 2 days first.
Hoping OvuSense can shed some light on the issue. I honestly think my progesterone doesn't stay high enough for long enough but we'll see I suppose.
@Slinks8113 will we be cycle twins again next time do you think?
If we get pregnant this round, it'll be my birthday as the due date pretty much.
I have a feeling it might be a January/February due date for me.
At least I can relax now I know what's going on!

@CycloGoose sorry to hear the start of AF. I had similar. I had about 4 days of spotting before I would consider it was AF so I've changed my dates as my temp was still high until yesterday. I think they say until full flow starts, it's not considered your AF yet so we're basically cycle twins again! :)
I have actually decided to book a consultation with a private clinic and seeing if they can help with short LP or get to the bottom of it. I don't believe I had a problem before the MC but seems it's taking some time to get back to normal....and the suggestion from the GP to try yoga and meditation doesn't really work for me 😂😂 also trying some supplements this month to see if that helps....desperation much?! I think in my head I just can't cope to get to my due date in June and not have fallen pregnant again so putting a bit too much pressure on myself! X x

Why are our bodies being so cruel to us? @Slinks8113 it really sucks!
I don't really know what to do. I think the GP will go mad if I call back again. I think 11 days isn't classed as being short enough to be a problem.
I'm wondering whether to pay for some tests privately but to what end? Will NHS accept my private results and provide cyclogest or something? I doubt it. Infuriating hearing that it can take up to a year repeatedly.
I was really hoping that I'd have a baby before I turned 35 - one last chance I suppose! At least it was a bit longer than my 9 last time.
Full flow for me isn't ever really that much anyway. Doctor said that just made me lucky not a problem.
