TTC March / April

Just continuing our thread so we don't get knocked off the old one!

@Sallyjo27

@KatieLooLa that's a good sign! Ahhhh I'm not sure how sensitive those are. Are you going to test again or will you wait it out? X

@minthumbugs tempted to test in the morning, but might be better to wait till Monday... 🤷‍♀️ x

Ahhh amazing @lucea87 🥰

@KatieLooLa sounds promising! I think the shop ones are pretty rubbish - can you get a frer or cheap sticks from Amazon prime?I use the easy at home pregnancy strips and find them quite sensitive 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

CD11 for me, no sign of ovulation yet but fingers crossed.

Having a shitty and stressful time with work atm (nothing really new there but worse than normal) and I'll be really mad if that shitty place ruins my chances this month because of that so trying to keep as calm as possible (cried hysterically hyperventilating down the phone to a manager yesterday so not succeeding) 🙄

@minthumbugs sorry that you've not had your good news yet to be able to share back with them. It's hard isn't it sometimes but shows it can happen I guess.
@KatieLooLa Ares is so adorable. Maybe ovulated later this month? Sounds like maybe cycles up and down in length a bit. Fingers crossed you get a BFP. Most tests should pick up from around 15dpo but it depends when that was and when implantation happens. 💕💕💕🤞🤞🤞
Still no peak for me and we've bodged up on BD. I'm having an allergic reaction.
Here's mum and dad's 8 month old pup Prudence and me at our wedding with her mummy Grace xxx

Oh @justwant2beamum sorry you're having a shitty time at work. Hope you can find a way to chill over the weekend xxx

@KatieLooLa let us know how you get on tomorrow if you cave! Hope it's a BFP. Xx

@justwant2beamum ahhhh sorry you're having a bad time at work. Hope you can take some time to de-stress over the weekend and have some time for yourself!

@CycloGoose omg those pictures! You look STUNNING wow that is such a brilliant pic! 🥰 Oh no, how come you've had an allergic reaction? X

Awww thanks @minthumbugs that was the second day of our wedding when we had a big festival theme. I bought the dress off eBay for £50 and sewed the straps on. I made the crown out of shells my grandma had and bits of broken jewellery and made my festi-cape-veil for about £15 😂 it was so much fun!
I have asthma and recently all my allergies have been getting worse. A little bit if reading and it looks like when estrogen rises, the cells responsible for your immune system overreacting are higher too so that might be why! Just hope it doesn't ruin my chances!

@CycloGoose that's amazing!!! I love that 😆 that's so extra.That's crazy I had no idea that could happen with the allergies, hormones have a lot to answer for. Hopefully it settles down before ovulation for you 🤞🏻

@justwant2beamum unfortunately Amazon prime is pretty useless where I live, it wouldn’t come quick enough. Probably have to wait till Monday to see if they have any in the chemist.

@CycloGoose could well have ovulated later this month, did start taking pregnacare day of my last AF so that might have something to do with it.

@minthumbugs of course if I get BFP I’ll be sharing, don’t think I couldn’t share 😂

Best find out before Thursday as supposed to be getting the COVID vaccination Thursday morning 😬

@CycloGoose Prudence is adorable 🥰

@lucea87 omg congratulations on your twins!!!! You are more than welcome to share your journey in your pregnancy with us, don’t ever be feeling like you cannot just because your a graduate! I’m so happy to hear about your surprise bundle! My hubs is a twin :D! Will you be finding out gender or leaving it a surprise? Sending hugs always 🥰

@Galt21 don’t ever be feeling alone in your journey, we are all going through similar emotions and just know your not alone as we will be here for you each rollercoaster step of the way, I’m sorry that you felt like that after seeing a negative test, I’ve been trying now for 8 month round absolute and I’ve learnt not to try torturing my emotions with negative tests and just wait until AF comes if you can find the strength to do that, I know it’s easier said than done but just know your not alone :) ✨🥰

@CycloGoose I’m so happy to hear you have a psychic sense, can I start to pay you instead of strangers for fertility readings if you predicted twins for lucea87 😂😂😂🙋🏼‍♀️ all my readings say July as you’ve known from the past so I’m hoping I can get my ovulation sorted prior to then to get my baby making skills on!! I’ve also been wondering where some people have been on their journey but maybe they having abit of time out from the threads I just hope they are okay! How are you getting on with your cycle chick, are you giving yourself enough time to have a small break as SMEP knackered me i won’t lie 😂🙈 fingers and toes crossed your peak is just around the corner! Can I just say your photo in your dress is absolutely beautiful! 🥰 partial to a wedding dress piccy myself, I’m going to be going shopping later this year for a receiption dress as I don’t want to wear my wedding dress twice incase it’s bad luck but I’m holding off buying anything earlier incase there’s a bump to be taken into consideration 🤞🏻🤞🏻👶 absolutely loving the pic of prudence and I love the name I love old fashioned names for dogs, I’ve said if we was to get a friend for mable I’d want to call her Martha or Wilma 🙈

@justwant2bemum try not to worry too much into things darling I know it’s easier said than done with stress levels at work, I’m not particularly enjoying my work at the moment but I just try and leave it at the door and think of reasons why to be happy and don’t let that place get a second thought because I doubt my management would do the favour back! I hope you have your peak soon 🌈

@KatieLooLa let us know if you test before tomorrow chicken, hoping to see some more graduates coming up shortly in the BFP gang 🌈🙋🏼‍♀️

So in terms of my cycle update darlings! 9 days late apparently in accordance to Femometer, I had a peak reading of 124% on Thursday followed by EWCM and negative day after.. don’t know if I ovulated but I took the chance and baby danced 😂 I’m just gonna take physical signs as queues than the readings as they are all the shop! So I could be in a two week wait but I also could be the land of the unknown.. anything’s possible but I have bloods and swabs on Tuesday so it’ll be the start of the investigations to PCOS I’ll attach my chart for the giggle, the spike was 2 days after the positive reading 🧐

Thank you @kaylsd 🥰🥰 we will find out I think. They're non identical, separate sacs and separate placentas! Could be a boy & a girl....! It's so tempting to do the harmony test now to find out at 10 weeks 😂 but it's also so expensive! Think we will just have a gender scan at 16 weeks!

So I think I’m going mad, according to opk I ovulated over three weeks ago, according to my apps I’m 6/7 days late and I’ve tested a couple of times a week apart including a frer all negative. I have no idea what to do

@lucea87

Imagine having a boy and a girl, technically all that baby making could be over as you may have one of each ;) but you never know! My Hub was non identical with his brother but you would argue they are identical as they look very similar 🥰🌈 so happy for you sweetheart xxx

@Seraphim87 I’m late too and only getting negative readings. Not sure when I ovulated though as OPK’s I was using were hard to read x

@kaylsd congratulations! You’re going to have your hands full! X

@Seraphim87

So I think I’m going mad, according to opk I ovulated over three weeks ago, according to my apps I’m 6/7 days late and I’ve tested a couple of times a week apart including a frer all negative. I have no idea what to do

I'm known to instances like this but there's various bits to ask first, isit first time this has happened before? Are you recent off contraception if so they say to give your body at least 6 month to adjust as you could be still all over shop from that? Do you temp? If so did your temperature confirm ovulation? Do you do OPK testing? If so did it corispond alongside of physical symptoms of ovulation? EWCM ect..

I know it's not much help with this but it may be a case of you ovulated later than you think or may not have ovulated at all (I'm currently one for this to happen to because I'm being investigated for PCOS)

Try not to worry about it too much at the moment, reduce testing to every couple of days, wait until 2 week has passed and ring doctors for blood work (you may be pregnant but not showing on urine tests) to rule out pregnancy, depending on your GP they may tell you to come back if you don't have a period in 3 month or they may investigate as to why or give you medication to start a "period" in order for a new cycle when really that just sheds uterus lining..

sending hugs sweetheart I've been here before and it's not nice and I'm currently in same situation now myself but I'm finally being investigated for it after 7 months of up and down cycles when some I appear to ovulate and some I don't xx

[quote KatieLooLa]@kaylsd congratulations! You’re going to have your hands full! X[/quote]
Heyup missy I wish ;)! Lol 😚 xx

@kaylsd I’ve already got confirmed PCOS but I’ve only recently moved to the area so medical stuff is all new and I’m not sure whether just to contact to them. I stopped taking the pill in January and I’ve never in my life had a normal cycle so I think I’m just in denial that things are going be pretty tedious

@minthumbugs it was totally extra and totally awesome. We tried to do something traditional for the olds on the Friday but MIL didn't think it was good enough. The Saturday was totally mint though and everyone (including MIL -FFS) loved it. We did so much ourselves but it was definitely extra extra. We did a full weekend where people could camp etc and a fair few friends could stay in bunk beds etc for same price as a 'normal' wedding. I got my main dress from Oxfam. Was chuffed.
@KatieLooLa I have read about cycles changing with different supplements. I'm on CD16 and not ovulated yet which is late for me as I normally have a short cycle. I've added some other supplements this month though AND not long since MC so I'm not getting too stressed. I've got it all crossed it's positive for you.
Well @kaylsd the only other pregnancy related dream I've had was actually for you with vividly seeing you posting on here to say you were pregnant at last so I'm sure it's coming for you. We just don't know when! In terms of me, we've totally failed on the SMEP. Should've been yesterday but my nose was just streaming by nighttime and hubs wasn't feeling it in the morning. Even this morning we had to have a little break and get back to it 🤣🤣🤣 pressure starting to get to us I think. We're having a little holiday from tomorrow though so if keep getting delayed ovulation, at least it can be holiday fun! Thank you for your comments on my dress. I think I felt more comfortable in that cheap one than the more expensive one I got off Oxfam. I'll post that too for you! I looked a bit wide in that one. Should have had it taken in. Where you going to shop for yours? My folks are funny with the dog names. They're all abstract nouns 😂 Hope, Joy, Mercy etc 🤣
Your chart is absolutely nuts this month. Don't really know what to say! The OvuSense is supposed to be good for pcos as is the Mira but they're pricey. All the love and baby dust.
The Olsen twins are fraternal non identical twins as well! Who knew!
@seraphim87 I think Kayls has said it all but good luck xxc
I'm hoping this slight delay is just my body cooking up a perfect little egg and a lush, thick endometrium!! 🤞🤞😉

Ahhh @Seraphim87 OPKs are notoriously unhelpful with pcos. If you can shell out for OvuSense, it's good. Think there's a 30% offer ATM if you Google it. Good luck chick xxx

@kaylsd what kind of twin is your hubby? Is there any possibility of you having twins? So hopefully now you are in a TWW! Excited to see what happens. X

@lucea87 ooooh I was going to ask what kind of twins they are. You will be reading up all about them now! X

@Seraphim87 maybe you got a higher peak and ovulated later than you thought. That's frustrating being in limbo! Would your doctor bring you in for any testing if you gave them a phone?

@CycloGoose that's brilliant! It's so original. I would love to run away and get married and not tell anyone but DP is not interested, he sees marriage as a bit of paper we don't need 🤔😂 spoilsport! Love the dog names. Your body might just be adjusting, gearing up to catch the egg!

@CycloGoose your wedding dresses are both fabulous - you look beautiful in both and it sounds like you had an amazing wedding! xx

I would just contact them as they may schedule you day 21 bloods to make sure your ovulating with PCOS diagnosis they may do it sooner than later :) xx

@CycloGoose your dress choices are so cute I love them! I don't think I'm going to go too expensive but I don't know where or what style I would end up getting incase I have a little bump, I would predict floaty if I have a bump as my original dress was fitted but if no bump I've always loved the thought of a satin type look! So always something to look forward to! You looked beautiful on your day 🥰 fingers and toes crossed your egg is just brewing lovely in time for your time away with your partner hehe! Maybe have a little time off to recharge your batteries to go again with smep part two hehe!

My hub had a stern word with my inlaws tonight as yet again they made another baby comment, this conversation went on the lines of everyone's pregnant around us all apart from Kayleigh.. and then my hub piped up and went along the lines of it's actually not her fault nor mine and it's non of your business but we may not even be able to have children and you know what if that's the case then that's how it is but until then can you shut up on about it as you don't know how it feels on our end.... I was like drop the mic boom kind of vibes when I heard about it 😂😂😂😂✨ I have my blood tests and swabs on Tuesday so hoping for some plan as to what can happen going forward once they come in :) 🤞🏻 until then I'm enjoying watching my temperatures do the strangest pattern ever and seeing if I can rock triple numbers this time of a cycle day as my highest last time was 75 and I'm on 49😂😂😂
