Ttc #1 - cycle 7

[rosiej95]

Really fed up of AF showing up month after month now 🤦🏼‍♀️ we've been taking the see what happens but dtd lots approach. But now going into month 7 so We've decided to use the clear blue opk's to see if it gives us a better chance. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Now to just wait for AF to disappear 😀

Any one else ttc #1? 😀

[quote Loops01]@Amy259 I didn't realise its 1 in 4 now! Crazy. Good to know your temp is up!! How you feeling about this cycle?

@J1990 did you normally take the soy after ovulation? Good to know its happened though and it was maybe just 'time' (hate that word haha). Enjoy!![/quote]
No sorry, I meant I avoided food with soy in after ovulation, like tofu. I thought I might have low progesterone so thought it was worth a shot. Yeah maybe it was just time. Annoying thing is, you will never know!! Def worth trying soy as it seems to have worked for a lot of people & doesn't seem to do any harm.

Have got my fingers tightly crossed 🤞🤞🤞 💜

@J1990 ahh got you! Well I'm glad you got your bfp! Hope you can enjoy it and everything goes so well!!

@Loops01 yeah 1 in 4! Wild. As for this cycle, I wouldn’t say I’m hopeful (I don’t think I ever am!) but I will be more frustrated/disappointed than usual if af comes because we literally couldn’t have done any more this cycle. So it’ll be hard if we didn’t do it. Hopefully your hot tub and alcohol helped - they do say if you’re relaxed physically (your cervix etc) your body will be more receptive to sperm! Hence the orgasm theory. So here’s hoping there’s some truth in that for you 🤞🏻

@J1990 that’s interesting, I’m veggie too but never considered cutting down my tofu intake. It’s so hard because you never know if it was just time for everyone individually, so sometimes I feel like trying everything is overwhelming for maybe no benefit, you know? It’s tough. How are you feeling?

I know! Super hard to know!! I also found it difficult once I'd seen something online to ignore it. I saw a post saying peas could stop you getting pregnant 😑 but with soy I guess it makes sense as you would never take soy isoflavones after ovulation. Worth a try?

I can also voucher for the orgasm thing ladies! I forgot to mention that ☺️ it helps the sperm travel into the cervix or something.

Feeling OK thanks 😊 boobs have been a bit sore and got a bit of cramping but so far so good 🤞

Well I'm holding you to that @J1990 cos being annual leave has really helped the, big O this month!! 😂 😂. How many dpo were you when you first tested? Please keep us posted after scans etc!

@Amy259 yay, glad your temp went up! ❤️
Mines gone even higher today 😂🙈 around 0.5 overall increase from before ovulation temps.

Hope everyone’s weekend is going ok! ❤️

Me too @Loops01 - I made sure to O every time this month 😂

@AZ1992X oh that’s a good sign! Mine went up again at around 7/8dpo the month I had my chemical, so now I’m forever looking out for that. I’m up about 0.35 so far which I’m delighted with at 3dpo. How’s your cm situation?

@Amy259 that’s positive, let’s hope it keeps rising for you. 🤞

I’ve had a small amount of CM this morning but not much. Just have to keep waiting and see what happens.

Good morning all

@J1990 yes!!! That's brilliant news! So pleased you've got your bfp!! 😍😍😍
Congratulations 🎉

It sounds like everyone's having a really positive cycle!! 😍😍

How many dpo is everyone?
How are you all feeling? :)

Hopefully AF will be gone in the next few days For me, so I can get on with this cycle 😊 🤞🏻

Dh wanted me to test this morning and of course its the bfn I expected. AF due in 2 days now so would expect something by then. So onwards to cycle 12. Really cba with this anymore.

@Loops01 what did you test with - an early detection one? At 9dpo you’re SO early, it’s the most common day for implantation, so don’t fully rule yourself out yet - it’s not really about when af is due at this stage, it’s about implantation timing.

Having said all that, I’m fully aware that after a year at this we all know our own bodies and I’m sure if you’re certain it’s af, then you’re certain. So sorry if that’s the case 💔

@rosiej95 loving your positive vibes! Hope af isn’t treating you too badly this weekend??

Thanks @rosiej95 😘 good to hear you sounding v positive about next cycle 😊

@loops01 I didn't get a positive until the day before my period and that was such a squinter on an Internet cheapie. I think I was 11dpo. You're not out until AF comes!

Morning @rosiej95 , loving your attitude! Hope AF isn’t too bad & you’ve managed to treat yourself.

All good here 7DPO, only have two days at work this week then break up for a week so looking forward to that! X.

@Loops01 also to mirror what @Amy259 has said - it’s still v early so don’t count yourself out yet. How you feeling today?

Thanks all but nope not feeling it at all. Esp only 2 days to go. Feel like it could arrive at any point. Not had anything really since that pain at 7dpo. But then never normally have anything anyway. I'll keep at it but just getting to the point now its just constant disappointment, heartbreak, frustration and regret.

🤞🤞Someone else has a positive. I don't know how you do it Rosie, staying so upbeat!

Not sure whether to soy again this cycle. One part of me wants to just to keep it up and finish them but then if it's as early as this cycle then we are opposite shifts and it means setting an alarm again to have sex between 3-5am. But at least I'd know and not worry that without it'll be irregular again. Urg the thought of this shit.

Sending you lots of hugs @Loops01

As for soy, I would do whatever will stress you less? Bringing o forward and doing alarm clock sex, or leaving your cycle to potentially mean you ovulate at a more convenient time but not really knowing what’ll happen? Do whichever will add less stress to an already stressy thing x

Morning all! How’s everyone doing today?

@AZ1992X pretty good. No symptoms so far (only 4dpo) so i'm not expecting them anyway. I feel like my life revolves around TTC lol we should probably take a break if we're not successful in the next couple of cycles. This is our 7th cycle TTC. 😬

How are you? And everybody else? :)

Thanks @Amy259. I think I might soy this cycle then leave it next. Still using the progesterone cream. Not finding any difference. AF due tomo. I would be happy if it was delayed a day or two cos of the cream but ill try it for a couple of cycles. Just use it up lol.

You and @AZ1992X OK? Are you 9dpo AZ?

Where are you at @rosiej95? AF finished?

@lilrosemarie glad you’re well. Fingers crossed for you.

@Loops01 let’s hope it stays away, keep us posted.

The app says I’m 8DPO as was 9 days since my peak I think. I’m not feeling it either and sure my temp dropped today (I did wake up a touch earlier so will see what tomorrow says and if it drops again AF will be on its way).

@AZ1992X I’m well thank you. 5dpo today and it’s gone fairly steadily so far, but DH left last night for a few days so now doubt it’ll drag now I’m unsupervised with my thoughts 😂 sore boobs today, but always do around this time.

So apparently for every half hour you wake up earlier, you should add 0.1 to your temp, and every half hour you wake up later, take 0.1 off. I’m not sure how accurate it is, but I do know if I temp earlier it’s super low and if I sleep in it’s super high, so there must be something to it? How are you feeling?

@Loops01 did you take tests away with you to test again, or just riding it out now? Good idea, who knows maybe 2 cycles of soy with early ovulation will just kick start you body into ovulating around cd14!

@Amy259 Glad you’re ok & it’s not dragging too much for you, hopefully it stays that way.

Ah in that case I’m not sure - it was probably around 45-55 mins earlier and did go bed later due to football - it was around 0.15 - 0.2 drop. Will see how next few days go and if it carries on dropping.

No symptoms at all … pms symptoms would show in next couple of days if AF is due & have got really bad headache today but not sure it’s related (likely just tired and lack sleep).

@AZ1992X I’ve stuck the thermometer in my mouth before at like 3am thinking it was time to get up (I do it before I even open my eyes haha) and it was like 0.3 lower then I’ve realised the time, gone back to sleep, and at 6:30 which is my normal time, my temp was normal. So hopefully that’s all it is, or a nice wee implantation dip even!

When is af due?

Thank you, v useful. I’m CD29 so should be due in few days time but this is my first full cycle in a while so will see.

@AZ1992X must be a bit annoying not knowing if this cycle will be different but at least it should give you a good idea for the next...if there is!

@Amy259 no I didn't take tests. I'm hone Friday so if no AF by then then I'll test but feeling a bit bloated and a bit sick just now but then the food here isn't the best - very sugary and carb heavy so likely its that. Going by the last few luteal phases it should be tomorrow but this has also been an early cycle ovulation wise so wondering if actually maybe it'll lengthen luteal phase in some way! F-knows!

Saw this post on fb today and thought even this dog has managed to get pregnant!! 😂 😂

Although on this course, theres one girl from the same area as me. She's 8m pregnant. It's like I'm surrounded! But she's lovely though so not too bad.
