Hi everyone!

So i'm in the tww! Not even sure i caught ovulation on time this month and after 8 failed months ttc i'm not very positive.

Feeling very disheartened as i have just found out 2 friends are pregnant on their 1st month of trying.

Trying not to symptom spot as like i said above, i have a feeling it wont be this month.

How are you all getting on?

I'm also in the TWW. Cycle 4 and I took the relaxed approach this time hoping that will have worked. I think I'm about 4dpo ish.
I'm hoping not to symptom spot. Have a lot going on atm which is helping keep my mind off it all.
I hope this is your month! It can be so frustrating when you hear of those that have got pregnant first cycle, I know a few too but I always believe everything happens at the right time.
When are you due AF? I'm due on the 20th which happens to be my birthday 😭

@tulips87 yes! Its so hard not to symptom spot isnt it! The last 6 months i have been convinced and this month i've not even tracked ovulation with strips or anything

Really hoping this is your month too! I'm due on the 17th x

So I'm 4 dpo and it is dragging this month. Need to resist the urge to test already 🙈 IV been trying since December but been having unusually long cycles when I'm normally regular. This cycle ovulation actually happened on time and alot earlier than usual so 🤞 hope this thread gets some bfp! 🎉 X

Sadie95 · 08/04/2021 11:40

Hey guys, hope I can join! 5dpo here 😊 how is everyone feeling? X

bollocksthemess · 08/04/2021 11:59

Three DPO here. Had a CP last cycle, also we are self inseminating as DP has problems ejaculating anyway, never mind when TTC.
We managed to SI 2 days and 1 day before ovulation, I normally have ovulation spotting but it’s more than usual this time.
Trying baby aspirin this time too, as I suppose it can’t hurt.
We’ve been properly trying since December, January DP couldn’t ejaculate at all in my fertile period 🙄
Going to try til June as that makes 12 months since I came off the pill, then we’ll start investigations into fertility treatment as I’ll be 38 in December.
Good luck everyone!

Its funny you say that @Skl2021 i've noticed it too! My last cycle was 53 days😫 makes it so difficult when going through this process!

Skl2021 · 08/04/2021 14:56

@mumtoone2019 I was usually quite regular around 30 days. Then since ttc it was 49 days?! Then dropped last month to 38 days. Then IV ovulated this month at cd 16/17 so would expect af around 31 days?last month I didn't ovulate until cd 28. Crazy how there allover the place like my body is winding me up 🤦 x

mumtoone2019 · 08/04/2021 15:40

@Skl2021 thats crazy how a like it is to mine! They average around 32 days but then last month was long and had some at 40 days too! Haven't tracked ovulation this month was trying to be more laid back which has gone out the window now🤣x

Skl2021 · 08/04/2021 16:04

@mumtoone2019 the idea of that is great then when I come to do it I can't help myself need to know where I am 🤣 also I don't have a clue when ovulation is so would be DTD the whole month 🙊 x

mumtoone2019 · 08/04/2021 16:26

@Skl2021 i feel like this now though! Feel like i've wasted this cycle. Its honestly so hard to 'relax' like everyone says to x

OP posts:
Skl2021 · 08/04/2021 16:35

@mumtoone2019 don't think like that! Sometimes it happens when you don't 'try' so 🤞 think positive!! 😁 X

@Skl2021 fingers crossed this is our month🤞🏻

tulips87 · 08/04/2021 20:11

Ahh fingers crossed it's our month. Sounds like we are all around the same dpo. I hope this is a lucky thread for us all!
I'm feeling a bit sick this evening, but honestly it could be anything and everything not related to being pregnant! Haha.
We managed to BD the day before and on the day I got a peak reading of ovulation so there is a good chance I think, whether it's worked or not is a different story.

mumtoone2019 · 08/04/2021 20:47

Weirdly enough guys tonight ive had a little cramping, some tender breasts and vvvv light pink discharge. Does this sound like ovulation to you? I noticed some discharge similar last month and mistook it for implantation bleeding but was wayy too early so now thinking this could be ovulation?Confused

OP posts:
Skl2021 · 08/04/2021 21:07

@mumtoone2019 did u take opks? Wouldn't you be past ovulation now? Or u not sure if u ovulated. Usually light bleeding is more likely to be implantation especially with cramps? But depends where u are on your cycle. Never heard it being associated with ovulation 🤔 but our bodies do weird things at times! X

moonpie32 · 08/04/2021 21:13

Evening all Smile

I'm in the TWW too, cycle 2 (although didn't really 'try' last month) , 6/7dpo based on the apps. We haven't used BBT or OPKs at all.

I can't help but symptom spot as soon as my fertile window is over 🙈 I've had cramping since 3dpo, tender boobs since yesterday and a whole host of other symptoms.

I cannot remember this from TTC DC #1 so it's driving me insane! 😂

mumtoone2019 · 08/04/2021 21:18

@Skl2021 i haven't been using OPK's this month with me wanting to be more relaxed and neither had i untill last month when someone said might be ovulation spotting rather than implantation as apparently it was too early for that🤷🏼‍♀️x

OP posts:
Skl2021 · 08/04/2021 21:22

@mumtoone2019 do you get ewcm around ovulation or any other symptoms? I presumed you already ovulated as u said u were on the 2ww. What cd are you now? Maybe u can spot around ovulation I have just never heard it. Maybe DTD just to cover your bases? Incase it is ovulation ☺️ x

Hey ladies! 😊 It's OD today so my TWW starts now and I'm alright impatient! Lol. This is my first month tracking bbt and using opk and I'm surprised as my Flo app has been 2 days out! So feeling better about things this month than previous. Good luck lovelies ✨

mumtoone2019 · 09/04/2021 14:37

Hows everyone feeling today?

OP posts:
tulips87 · 09/04/2021 14:38

5dpo and I've had a bit of EWCM but a bit watery, does anyone else have this? I noticed it last cycle too at 5dpo.
I'm feeling okay, no symptoms today, was a bit off yesterday but now nothing.
How are you doing?

Sadie95 · 09/04/2021 15:02

Hey, 6dpo.. no symptoms at all here yet! Trying to be relaxed this time round but the further I get in the TWW the worse it's getting 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

mumtoone2019 · 09/04/2021 15:31

I've had a lot of ewcm as well but without tmi i'm getting it a little confused with semenBlush

moonpie32 · 09/04/2021 17:53

7/8DPO here.

The main overriding symptom is fatigue. I'm absolutely exhausted! Boobs feel tender and I'm still having mild cramping. Barely noticeable unless I'm relaxed and not busy.
I've got that too - like watery EWCM. It's very odd and I never normally notice that. Had a little pink blood tinged CM on 5/6DPO that was also watery EWCM.

I agree with @mumtoone2019 it's sometimes hard to tell 🙈😂
