Please add anybody I've missed off!

@Flowers222 he’s fine, he’s always tip toeing on the edge so it was bound to happen one day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳 😁

I get you with the 30 thing I always thought I’d have a baby by the time I was 30, (30 in August) sounds like you got it coverer with the cake though 😉

Hey ladies, hope you all got through today. It can be tough when you're TTC 💕

Well an update on my crazy weird high temps in my follicular phase... my AF started today on CD18! Which is usually my ovulation day! So turns out I think I was in my LP all along (hence the high temps), and maybe ovulated straight after my last AF when I wasn't even temping 🙈🙈 If anyone has a different theory let me know though! What a waste of DTD & OPKs 🤣
I've attached my chart and last months short chart too (though not actually sure I ovulated last month either, even though FF confirmed it)

So my question now is - I've had these length cycles since coming off the pill- 18, 33, 33 (ended in a chemical), 25, 18... Do you think that's classed as irregular now?? What other supplements do you think I should be taking? I'm on folic acid, DHA and coq10. Plus doing seed cycling.

@Flowers222 I know what you mean with the 30 thing. Mine was always to have a baby WHEN I'm 30 for some reason. And AF starting today means I'll be definitely 31 at least now, so felt like a bit of a 'thing' for me 😔 Sending hugs! We shouldn't put time pressures on ourselves

@ChinChilly Sorry that your AF has been heavy and painful. It's good that you're getting a clear out though. My AF post chemical was so painful I cried on CD1 and couldn't even leave the house for a walk (dramatic!), so I think it's definitely the CP causing it. Sending you hugs!

@abi555 I'd agree and say O day was CD15 too. Fingers crossed for you this month 🤞

@Flowers222 Happy Birthday!!!! 🎉🥳 Hope you've had a lovely day!

@Emmgrem Sorry about your crazy cycle! Have you spoken to your dr at all?

Finally got what I think is a peak OPK today on CD28 (unless they go crazy dark like last month!)! My temp went up this morning though but I think that might be because I did a virtual cocktail making session last night for my friends birthday and felt a little bit squiffy this morning 🤢 Today's diet has mainly consisted of anything beige 😂

@ChinChilly @MissC07 thank you for the birthday wishes. I did enjoy today. Certainly not the 30th I had always planned but my mother in law brought round afternoon tea which was nice. I did get the "when are you having kids, you are starting to leave it late" talk from my Nan this morning though 🙄

@Emmgrem you are right, we shouldn't be putting time pressures on, and I know 30 still means we have plenty of time! Sorry about your weird cycles though, I'd definitely say that is irregular

@MissC07 that is definitely a peak! 🤞O is happening soon!

@Emmgrem when did you come off the pill? My Dr told me it takes 6 months for you cycles to regulate if you had regular cycles before, give your Dr a call if you’re worried.

@MissC07 I’ve eaten fat too much beige food recently

@Flowers222 oh gosh, I hate those convos, luckily I haven’t had the pleasure of any of those yet!

@Flowers222 that's good to hear that you feel they helped! Happy birthday also

Weird times here - 1 day spotting, 1 seemingly AF, 1 spotting

@ChinChilly thanks! Aw your poor doggy!!

@Flowers222 Happy Birthday!! Hope you had a lovely day.

@MissC07 yay congrats on the positive OPK! Virtual cocktail making sounds fun. I’ve eaten sooo badly today. So much pizza and cake.

@Emmgrem sorry about the crazy cycles. No harm asking your doctor I guess.

@gracie2021 Sorry the tests and temps aren’t playing ball, you’re not out until you’re out though

@Kay00 that’s great that the docs are listening hopefully it will get the ball rolling a little

@chinchilly how curious about the EWCM! I suppose this month might be an unusual one for you

@abi555 fab temp rise!

@Flowers222 happy birthday hope you had a fab day

@emmgrem ahh that makes a little more sense about the high temps then, but also get your confusion, I’d deffo have a chat with the doc if it’s been longer than 6 months off the pill

@MissC07 definitely a peak get BDing!

@thedaydreambelievers How weird for you that it’s not gone full flow yet I do sometimes get that with AF and then have one mega day

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful unMother’s Day - here’s to it hopefully being out last ❤️

9DPO here slight dip in temp today but still well above cover line, I’m just glad I actually got around to ovulating currently CD64 🤦🏻‍♀️ at least I’m cutting my cycle times in half right?

Chart just because 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi guys, took the rest of the day to lick my wounds so just catching up now and and pinning my hopes for a BFP on those of you in the TWW now. Sending all the positive sticky bean vibes out there for ye all.

@Cams50 fingers crossed this is the month for you. Here's to a good week ahead and you not reaching the year.

@Kay00 so glad that you're being referred. Delighted you can have some support alongside.

@ChinChilly funny enough I soMetimes get one day of fertile CM straight after AF from cycle to cycle. Any sign today or are you back on track for usual ovulation? Hope you, OH and dog are recovered after aquatic adventures!

@abi555 what a lovely rise. Fingers crossed.

@Flowers222 happy birthday! Hope you had a lovely day. I hear you about the imagined milestones. I'm 33 soon and had always thought I'd either have my first or be pregnant by 30 🤷‍♀️ life has its own timeline doesn't it 🙈think we all have these arbitrary timelines in ours though don't we. Birthday hugs to you x

@Emmgrem sorry you're having such a weird time of things. I wonder was the 25 and the 18 just one long cycle as your body adjusted after the CP?

@MissC07 if Carlsberg did Peaks.....

@TheDaydreamBelievers maybe just a really light AF?

@Robyn101 looking like a good literal phase and great to get O confirmed too. Fingers crossed for you x

Things better here today. Won't lie yesterday involved a lot of tears on the couch before having a big chat about it all with the OH/aka therapist for the day which really helped. Think because I'd never even seen a hint of a line before I was hoping for even a CP to at least assure me that our bodies are doing something 🤷‍♀️ CD1 here this morning bang on schedule. No mad plans or ambitions, no woo woo and very little effort planned outside of BD. Here we go again 👍

@Cams50 @Gracie2021 doggo is fine, he seems to have limber tail though from falling into the freezing cold canal! He’s had it before and it’s common in retriever breeds? Who knew!

@Robyn101 Yeah I’m guessing it could be a iff month for me! Great you’ve got O confirmed, keeping everything crossed for you!

@Gracie2021 I haven’t had any more EWCM so I’m guessing it was just a blip! I totally get the whole hoping for atleast a CP, there’s like a wierd positive of knowing that you can get pregnant. My OH was just delighted that his swimmers are working 🙄

I need to order some OPKs today I’m not sure whether to stick to the easy@home ones or try the femometer ones...ultimately it doesn’t really matter I guess as they all do the sam F’ing thing 😂

Oh and my RHR is trolling me again 😂

@Flowers222 happy birthday!

@MissC07 that’s a really good positive opk you got there!

I was meant to message on here yesterday. I know it can be a hard day for some of us so sending lots of love and virtual hugs xx

@ChinChilly is it trolling? I thought it's meant to plummet in the FP?

@Emmgrem crikey I have no clue what's going on with your charts! Maybe it was anovulatory in the end? I really hope your next one is more normal.

@flowers222 happy birthday! Did you celebrate at the weekend or do you have plans for tonight?

@Kay00 brilliant news about getting that referral in already, I'm so pleased for you!

Sorry I've been quiet. CD3 here so been grumpy about AF, cycle 16 and mother's day all in one. Apologies if I missed anything :/

Morning ladies, I have also been quite quiet. Mother's day was quite difficult as my sister, sister's in laws and all my cousins celebrated being mothers, and all wished me 'happy dogs mum day'... which I know came from a nice place, but just upset me. I don't want to be the mum of dogs, I want to be the mum of an actual human being

@Flowers222 Happy 30th birthday!! A big milestone, but your ovaries are still nice and young I'm sure it won't be long for you now xx

I haven't been referred yet... but my doctor said she would refer me if I called back this week (I wonder why she didn't refer me there and then??). I'll call back this week and see what she says.

I'm on CD8 and still on my period!!! haha!! What the flippin' hell body?!?

@Juno231 nooo, I didn’t mean trolling, now I’ve re-read it, it makes no sense LOL! Jeez my brain does not function on a Monday morning 🙄

@Kay00 @Tillybabs @Juno241 glad I’m not the only one who found mother’s day abit difficult this year, thought I was just being sensitive, also my uncles son from a previous relationship announced they had, had another baby, didn’t even know his girlfriend was pregnant 🙄 I found it quite difficult to even say congratulations,that’s really bad isn’t it?

@ChinChilly no that’s not bad given your recent circumstances. It’s just human.

@chinchilly

@ChinChilly haha I feel you on the Monday mornings. I've had terrible sleep all weekend cause of worrying about work so I'm not feeling peachy either. Totally understandable about your uncle - I'd feel the same.

@MissC07 reckon today is ovulation day or that it happened yday already?

@kay00 now that mother's day has passed I keep thinking that if I dont catch this cycle (unlikely!) then that will be yet another Christmas without a baby...

and omg ladies we're about to lose out on a 2021 baby! Sorry for being a debbie downer this morning lol

@Tillybabs @Kay00 thanks both 💐

@Juno231 I hate that monday feeling and why does the dread always start on Sunday. I can’t believe this is the last cycle for a 2021 baby, it feels like only yesterday you said we’ve only got 3 cycles to get a 2021 baby now its the last one 😭 tbh I’d settle for just being pregnant by christmas!

@ChinChilly this year is indeed going so fast! And AF is on the way which makes it more depressing 😭

Just chatted to a lady I used to speak to on MN a year ago and she's just had an IVF transfer done in Copenhagen cause it's much cheaper. Will def be browsing that today!

@Juno231 I have no idea 🙈! I just did an OPK and it's darker than yesterday! Managed to DTD last night, so unsure whether to try again this eve or wait until tomorrow! Out of interest my Femometer app has me at 200% peak yesterday and today. But Premom has me at high but today's is darker. Wondering whether to put both days as + on FF or just today? 🤷‍♀️

@MissC07 I'd put both days and def jump OH tonight as well.

I’ve been staring at this all morning.
You guys see it right? I’m not just seeing what I want to see?
