Cycle buddies anyone??

[Jesslyra123]

Hey ladies, so I’m in need of a cycle buddy as these cycles have been so lonely...
I have a 33-34 day cycle but even if you have longer or shorter join me please!!!
Currently on cycle day 10.
First month using OPKS 😁

@Jely123 that sounds really confusing! I don’t blame you for being

Confirmed 3 days of temp rises so ov on 1st April, hopefully this won’t make an April fool of me! 3 dpo now, nothing of note to report other than a surge of irritability and tiredness yesterday that felt hormonal (i.e. came from nowhere).

Good luck for those in or about to enter the 2ww! Baby dust!

Hey ladies! How is everyone feeling in this TWW? I'm really relaxed, I don't hold out much hope because I have had no EWCM since coming off prostap injections.. so although I've got cycles now I don't think it's my time yet x

@Sadie95 I am trying to be more relaxed this month and not googling too much. 6dpo today. Weirdly this month I have few of the crazy symptoms I have had specifically in the last three cycles, which helps actually. The reduction of symptoms might be my body finally settling down after a miscarriage in December or possibly the fact I stopped taking soy isoflavones (in case I have oestrogen dominance already as my symptoms align with that - I started taking those after the mc). This whole journey is such a mindbender.

I am also trying to learn to love decaffeinated tea (twinings earl grey)! A few months ago I cut my caffeinated teas down to three a day but I need more cups of tea in a day than that (I have already cut out so much in ttc, I need something nice!).

@Sparrowfeeder I feel so much better this cycle by just being relaxed and not getting caught up in it all. Last month I researched every day, watched videos etc I was a crazy woman!!

@Sadie95 yes, same! I know also that I get worse in the 2ww and especially the second week. I know early testing doesn’t help so I want to not do that. I hope I keep my nerve

@Sparrowfeeder oh I am a POAS addict, come 7/8dpo 🤣 hopefully this month I can compose myself because I'm sick of spending so much money on them! When do you tend to test?

@Sadie95 I am as well, in the last few months I am testing several times a day, from about 7dpo if I’m honest! I got a bfp on 7dpo in Feb (chemical) which reinforced my obsession. I justify it by wanting to know if I have a chemical (had 3 plus mc in last 11 months). Testing does make me anxious and obsessive though (squinting to see faint shadows) so I know it is unhealthy. Maybe I can compromise and test once a day instead, lol. I almost wish early testing had not been invented!

@Sparrowfeeder so sorry to hear about your chemicals and mc I had 2 mc last year, it really gets you down! How many dpo are you now?

Yeah, @Sadie95 it is anoying. I am 7dpo! You?

I caved and tested, v.v. faint line (on two tests). I had a line like that on 7dpo in feb which lasted a day then vanished, so hard not to think I am brewing another chemical. It has a tinge of pink so I don’t think it’s an evap, because I used the same strips in past months and they were stark white, but who knows.. Can you see it (fainter in pic than real life)? Not accepting it as a positive yet though, I’ve seen this too many times. Might also be a faulty test as 7dpo is too early to show really.

@Sparrowfeeder I can see something there 😁 looking promising hopefully in the next few days it will show more! Sorry for being ignorant but what is a ‘chemical’??

@Sparrowfeeder I'm 6dpo today so not long behind you! I see a line also!!

@Coco987 and @Sadie95 today it looks like the line is much fainter and barely there at all so I guess a chemical it is! A chemical pregnancy is basically a very early loss at or just after implantation, a shortlived bfp but where your period comes as normal.

But on the plus side we had our first (virtual) appt with a fertility consultant today and he is going to run more in depth tests and agreed to prescribe me some progesterone to take from my next bfp to see if that helps. It is a good sign we are getting some bfps, even if they don’t last. Which is a bit of a ray of hope...

@Sparrowfeeder Ahh sorry for being so clueless, glad your getting help on this sending lots of love and positive vibes your way ❤️

Thanks @Coco987 how is your 2ww going?

How is everyone else doing? Anyone else tested yet? Any symptoms?

@Sparrowfeeder feeling pretty hopeful this month had a lot of EWCM 2 days before O day and usually I only have a tiny bit and last month I had none at all so I’m hoping it’s my body telling me something, now 4 dpo and the days are dragging,
How’s everyone else doing?? Would love to know!!

I'm 8dpo, no symptoms really! Period is due in 7 days x

For some reason my posts aren't showing. Just want to share my good news. My BFPs at 12dpo this morning. So happy but anxious at same time because of TFMR in December. Due date Xmas day!! 🙈🤣

@Curlymam88 congratulations!!!! I got my BFP yesterday I'm due 23rd 🥰

Congratulations @Sadie95

Congratulations @Curlymam88 @Sadie95 so happy for both of yous and your Xmas babies!!
