@DinkyGT

I am so frustrated this cycle - don't think I've ovulated despite positive OPKs as had my covid jab around the same time and it seems to have messed up my cycle. We have been SMEPing like pros as well 😏

I returned to tracking temps as I couldn't deal with not knowing what's happening but now I'm not sure it's helped...I've attached my chart for those interested 😂

Just the agonising wait for AF now...

I used ovulation sticks this month but also had my 2nd covid jab so im guessing that's messed it up a lot as my cycles are a bit all over the place atm.

So sorry AF showed up for you guys too @abbs1 and @dunkedbiscuit.

Hope you had a lovely holiday, and your toddler was as as good as gold @Cantthinkofaname99.

AF arrived 9 days late in the end. Started inositol now to see if that makes any difference. Got everything crossed (except my legs!) for this cycle.

Hey folks, how's everyone doing?

CD 11 here and no sign of ovulation happening even though I normally ovulate day 12/13 🤔 has anyone ever not ovulated during a cycle, and any ideas why? I did have a loss recently but have had a cycle since which all seemed to be fine. Worrying now that maybe it's not fine. I have also been ill the last few days (thank you toddler germs) so I wonder if that makes a difference? It's really bloody annoying though!

@dunkedbiscuit hey lovely, im so sorry about your loss, ovulation could maybe just be later for you or being poorly may have affected it? Mine was after i had a miscarriage i ovulated the later in the month the next couple cycles. Im CD15 had terrible ovulation sickness this month. Nausea 24/7 for 4 days.

Hi all, I’ve been quiet on here recently but have continued to read. Anyway, just wanted to update that I got my BFP this weekend. This was the 6th month trying - I’m so relieved, just praying for it to stick now. I had almost written off this month due to various reasons (ovulated early so only managed to DTD once, but apparently once was enough)!

Good luck to the rest of you!

@jellybean023 oh thats such lovely news congratulations 😊

Congrats @Jellybean023. Fingers crossed it sticks.

@dunkedbiscuit might be worth ringing the doctors for blood tests to check all is ok, or like others have said it may just be that the loss and being poorly is taking its toll. Hope you’re doing ok.

Yessss @Jellybean023 !! That's fantastic news 😊 sending lots of sticky vibes your way x

Thanks @abbs1 and @Nobeautysleep I'm doing alright, just keen to try again x

Congratulations @Jellybean023!

Thanks everyone :-)

@Dyra thank you it was lovely, not sure he was as good as gold though!

@Jellybean023 congratulations on the bfp! That's amazing news.

I spoke to the dr on Monday and she's booked me in for another 21day bloods on Friday, as last lot didn't show I ovulated but was borderline. She says they like to do 3 sets as we can all have the odd off month where we don't ovulate. Booked in with her to get results on Monday too so I'm not waiting around for weeks again! She did suggest that if tests show I'm not ovulating then they can prescribe Clomid or something similar so that's positive news, I was wondering if it might take ages if I have to see a specialist. Although if I need a 3rd lot of tests I may put if off a month as I have my 2nd Covid jab and I don't want that to affect the results.
I'm trying to just go with it this month and not obsess over it all too much as it's really not very good for me and I think I need the headspace, hence not been on here too much.

Hi all.

On cycle number 2 and slap bang in the middle of my TWW. Anyone else crazy symptom spotting, thought it would be different this time around.

Glad you had a nice holiday @Cantthinkofaname99. Was the toddler as good as silver? Copper? Lead?! :P How did your doctor appointment go?

Not in TTW atm @Igglepiggle91, but when I am the symptom spotting is insane. So rubbish when every symptom can be either pregnancy or AF though.

Yes I am 🙋‍♀️ @Igglepiggle91 I think
I'm around 4dpo, how about you? I've been poorly so we only DTD twice and both prior to ovulation so I'm not overly hopeful 😕

My test results came back with progesterone levels of 10, so even lower than last time 😔. Dr wants me to do another blood test ( said will skip a cycle as have 2nd Covid vac) but will refer me to a specialist now anyway, sounds like it might be a long wait.

My period is due any day now too so waiting for that to rear it's ugly head!

Going slightly loopy here! I'm on cycle day 26, only month I've had a cycle this long recently was when I had my Covid jab and even then I had spotting early on. My nipples have been sore for past week. Have had slight bit of bloody discharge today but only noticed as I'm on the look out. I know it's really unlikely I'm pregnant as my bloods were low this month, but I can't stop hoping! Still expecting AF to show up tomorrow though! Why do our bodies like to mess with our head soo much!!

Hello! new to the thread. TTC baby #2. Second month of trying, DTD last week when ovulating according to LH test so still got a little while to wait..
I'm still trying to learn all the acronyms so bear with me!
But wanted to wish everyone good luck and it's lovely to have a community to share the journey with

Welcome @snoopy8! Lovely to have you with us, how old is your first?

@Cantthinkofaname99 ahhh solidarity, I'm pretty sure I'm actually loosing the plot now 🤪 how long is your cycle normally? I'm guessing you've tested? (and tested and tested 😂)
I have little to no hopes for this month as I was ill, ovulated late and only DTD once at the right time but obvs still convincing myself that the one time may of done it...?!

@snoopy8 welcome!

@dunkedbiscuit well I think AF is here, which is what I thought would happen, although I'll still be monitoring every time I go to the loo today!! No I haven't tested, because my luteal phase is so short, I'm not sure testing if my period is late would even give me a definite answer either way, i was going to try and wait until CD 28/29. Most of my cycles this year have been 20-23 days (excluding one where I had Covid vac), last year they were more like 24/25 days. We were the same hadn't really DTD much this month, I hadn't done opks so not sure when ovulated (assuming I did as bloods were inconclusive) but I was still wondering and driving myself loopy!!

Could I creep into the thread and join please? I came off my pill a few weeks ago (back in May) and am still yet to have my period so haven’t got a a long where I am in my cycle other than guessing with info I’ve put in to Ovia.

I took a test this morning but I’m hovering more towards it being an indent line. The one circled was taken a few hours after taking the test, the other was within the time frame.

Our DS is six now and we went along the ‘not trying, not preventing’ route last time so this is all very new to me!

@dunkedbiscuit she's 20 months :)

@CrackingTheWhip I'm not sure I can see anything but maybe others with better eyes can. Could you try a test that says pregnant or not pregnant so there's no ambiguity?

@snoopy8 thank you for the reply! I’m going to try another FRER on Monday morning I think, by then it’ll be a bit more obvious which answer I’m getting I suppose. My DP suggested one that says it but I don’t think I’d be far enough to get a result on one of them yet. Thankfully I have work to take my mind off it for the weekend!

Hey guys, how are you all?

I stupidly tested yesterday at 9dpo and it was very very negative, I've been feeling a bit meh and down about it but today feel really nauseous 🙄 I'm worried it's all in my head really and scared to hope, but maybe...?!
Is anyone else testing this week?

@CrackingTheWhip let us know how you get on!

@dunkedbiscuit I tested yesterday and was negative, but I think it was too early (that's what I'm telling myself 😅) will try again in a few days.. feeling nauseous too but think I may have caught a bug off my DD...

Afternoon all,

Sorry not posted in a while. Had a positive digi and normal tests in May but sadly that didn't progress well and I bled shortly after.

Congrats to all of you who've had your positive results! Sending warm congratulating hugs.

My AF is due today so I've obviously tested! A faint line was visible straight away yay! After last time ive checked and checked it (cheapie strip test) after 30 minutes it got lighter and now almost looks grey but was most definetly pink within seconds and for 10 or so minutes after. But I'm being very cautious. Other than sore heavy breasts I've had none of my usual pre menstrual symptoms.

Good luck to all testing and trying x
