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 still haven’t tested AF due tomorrow thought it came today at one point and felt like crying but it was just CM I was so happy even though honestly I have no idea, I’m trying to hold off as long as I can because before TTC I was on the implant and I know HCG might not appear until around 18/21 dpo because of the hormones from the implant or something? don’t know how common it is though so probs going to test Sunday if nothing happens.
Love to know how everyone else is doing too 😁

@Sparrowfeeder

Still testing negative... but I am all over the place with big bloating, trapped wind, sore boobs, AF cramps, and a constant need to pee. Not normal for me. My bbt and rhr are still up. But I keep feeing such strong cramps I keep feeling convinced AF is here and run to check for blood (due at the earliest tomorrow).

I am 10-12dpo depending on whether I follow opks/usual cycle or bbt. My luteal cycle is normally 13 days so I would assume the hcg should be showing by now. Safest to assume I am out tbh and the weird symptoms are progesterone and my cycles are just being weird following a mc in Dec. We are older so we are starting with a fertility clinic in April so maybe they can help...

I hope your not out! But to give you hope I'm 95% Iv got my positive today at 13dpo! Your not our until AF shows!! I hope you get a good outcome good luck with all xx

@Curlymam88

No news from me really. Feeling very tired come 4/5pm, sore boobs and a few small cramps. Not going to test just gping to see if AF shows up in next couple of days by Sundy the latest. I'll do a test Sunday I think if no sign of AF in mean time. Hope everyone is doing good x

Hope you get your positive !! Xx

Thank you! I thought I had but unfortunately spotting now not sure what to think just feel so deflated xx

@Jely123 congrats! Spotting could just be inplantation bleeding? If it is pink or brown it might be ok.

I don't think that's the case to be honest! Another chemical I think! Is red cervix is low and open x

Sorry to hear that @Jely123. CP at least means your body can get that far, I have had a few in the last year too and that’s what comforts me. Not all bad news, although disappointing.

I am still confused. There comes a point in every 2ww where if no bfps appear, I just want AF to arrive so I can get on with the next cycle. Approaching that now! Frankly after the crazy cramps, bloating, pain and general ‘feeling ickyness’of this 2ww, AF will be a relief! Bring on cycle 11...

How is everyone else doing? Any sneaky little lines? Blazing positives? Baby dust to all.

Sorry to hear about CPs and Af on her way. Still no sign of AF for me. She has until tomorrow and then I'll be doing a test tomorrow morning. 🤞

@Jely123 ahh sorry to hear that I know it can be so upsetting when you think it’s a bfp and then AF comes the next day ☹️
@Sparrowfeeder Just took my first test BFN but due on any day now and because of my HCG possibly showing late I’m not losing all hope until AF arrives!

@Coco987 @Curlymam88 @Sparrowfeeder
Good luck guys!!!!!!
Thanks everyone's I'm just so confused now mild cramps on and off and light/ medium bleeding took a test to see a bfn this morning. Thought that's ok move on but took another a hour ago because I'm stupid. Come back positive still faint but darkest yet :/ not sure what to think

Aww shes arrived 🙄 here's to next month and ordering my next batch of ovulation strips

Same, AF has arrived today for me as well. Means I can have a cheeky Baileys and a hot bath later! Onwards to next month...

@Sparrowfeeder that's the way. Keep positive. Enjoy your treats 😊

@Sparrowfeeder love the positive vibes ❤️

@Jely123 sounds very confusing for you just try and listen to your body and take each day as it comes. What tests are you using?

@Coco987 @Curlymam88 well the positivity lasted about a day. Now I just feel down about how hard ttc is. I wish I knew this sooner tbh... they lied when they said how important contraception is because of how easy it was to get pregnant! I am bathing in semen, all that money I wasted on condoms in LTR over the years is upsetting!

How long have you all been trying? I am just starting cycle 11 (one month of which was a mc, so maybe cycle 10?).

Anyone still waiting for AF?

@Sparrowfeeder I know exactly where you're coming from. I have days where I feel really down about it all. I think about how people conceive after a one night stand but me along with other people use the OPKs and DTD in the fertile window and nothing.
Im unsure how long altogether we been trying. I came off the pill Oct 2019 but lockdown happened in 2020 and we weren't living together so we didn't see eachother. But in Oct 2020 we conceived but in Dec 2020 I had to have TFMR. I thought since moving in together in Dec it would be easier to conceive after the TFMR so was quite taken back this month with AF showing.
The way I try to see it is we've conceived once last year so it's not that we can't conceive it's just taking time.
I think I conceived when we weren't really trying or thinking about it if it happened it happened Kind of attitude. I think the stress and pressure in the fertile window must be upsetting our bodies somehow.
I calculated 40 weeks from our first date of AF and it calculated at approx Xmas day 🙈 im tempted not to use any OPKS this cycle but not use protection either as December would be an expensive month. (Dd birthday is 20th dec) I'd be over the moon though. I guess it'll test my theory if I do conceive or not 🤷🏽‍♀️
Sorry for rambling on...I've been going out for a long walk each morning which I find helps eep my mdind off TTC and dates/calendars etc...Keep yourself busy and look after yourself. 🤗

@Sparrowfeeder omg to totally agree when I got my implant took out in November they basically said ‘right well your going to get pregnant straight away’ (they didn’t know I was TTC) what a joke!! My DP’s sister had gotten pregnant 3 times all accidental and her 2nd and 3rd are under a year apart! So when it came to my turn I was literally expecting to fall pregnant straight away it’s only been 4 months I’m just so impatient it also seems at though everyone around me is getting pregnant thinking about using OPK’s this time round but if I get a BFN il be even more deflated 😭

Hello everyone. Just wanted to check in a see how everyone's doing this cycle ? X

@Jely123 hey! I think I'm ovulating today, got my peak yesterday. How are you doing? X

Hey! That's funny haha me tooo😁 cx

I think I ov’d on Friday (cd13 for me) but still dtd (just in case) until my 3 day temp rise is confirmed. Trying to be more relaxed this month as the anxiety was getting a bit much. Been trying not to spend too much time googling or on mn either but the next 2ww awaits...

@Coco987 you are only a few months in, you don’t need to worry yet (I know it’s hard!)

That's the best way to be I find it so hard to relax! Iv had super night opks since cd4 this month and have been so confused! Had definite positives from cd 9 until today (cd 17) witch confused me so much!

I said I wasn't going to use OPKS but I couldn't do it. I caved and had my peak yesterday also. 2ww for me too 🤞
