4dpo any one want to join??

[Jely123]

Hey everyone so this is my third cycle ttc again, I'm so impatient and these cycles can be so lonely sometimes so wondered if any one wanted some company this TWW.

Just abit of back story. Im 22 from Kent. I have a 2yo girl and have had a few chemicals and miscarriages since having my little girl.
I'm also a poas addict so faint lines more then welcome here tooo!! X

Evening ladies, how's everyone doing? Any updates?
I had my partners birthday party at the weekend so that was a great distraction but now I'm twiddling my thumbs... need something to keep me busy through the 2week wait!

Hey @SaraSS, it's always good when you have something planned to keep your mind of it!! 😃 hopefully your 2WW doesn't drag too long - have you had your peak?

I haven't been tracking anything this month, I've had a very busy month so like you been distracted, enjoying myself with friends and family although after ttc for 8 months I have some idea on my cycles so I know I am in/coming out of my fertile week (can't fully forget), so just trying not to think about it so hopefully can have a chilled 2WW if I don't know the exact dates!

Hi @purpleskyssssss that's good to hear you're having a more relaxed cycle (at least from a ttc perspective!)
You must need the mental break after so many months 😩
I'm only on cycle 3 and I'm already fed up of it. The excitement of cycle 1 wore off quick! Very glad for MN though as it helps to see the reality of what it all is, ups and downs.
I've done some OPKs but not daily, it showed a peak at CD10 which seems too soon so I'm not really paying too much attention to the DPO day, suspect I could peak again in next few days 🤔.. we shall see!
Probably not helping that I keep forgetting to take the pregnancy vitamins 😂 must be too relaxed!

Hey all ☺️ I’m also trying to be a bit more relaxed. We’re away this week with some friends and I think I got a peak opk this morning before we left. So will try to dtd a couple of times but let’s see what happens. This is month 5 for me, bit of a surprise as it happened first month with my little boy! I’m really surprised that I’m getting peaks so late in my cycle, today is day 18.

@SaraSS hope your partners birthday party all went well? Day 10 does seem early for a peak, when do you usually get it? Not that it matters anyway if you’re planning a chilled month.

@purpleskyssssss I think keeping busy is the only way to try to distract yourself from your cycle isn’t it! Otherwise I’m just constantly ticking the days off in my head!

@pairofpears hope you have a lovely week away 😊
Yeah had a great party thanks, actually had a few drinks too as I thought I wouldn't ovulate until this week coming but looks like it might have happened right before the party 🤷‍♀️ oh well. I've been staying off alcohol whilst dtd and in the tww but that might be a little ott!
I usually ovulate bang on CD14/15 but then I've not been tracking long and I have a history of irregular cycles so I suppose it could have happened early! Just have to wait and see 😊
I'll do keep doing opks for a few more days to see if there is any fluctuations but been negative last few days.
I'm off to Holland and Barrett today to pick up more pregnancy vitamins, what are you guys taking? @pairofpears @purpleskyssssss

@PairOfPears I hope you have a lovely time away and manage to DTD during your peak time 😬

@SaraSS I did use to stop my alcohol intake on the first few months during the 2WW, but now I do drink, I try to not as much during the 2WW but if I have plans then I will, I have heard that baby doesn't take any nutrients from mum for the first 6 weeks, (may be wrong) but defiantly don't feel guilty! I am only taking folic acid and vit D, I can never get my head around what to take and what not to take! What are you taking?

@purpleskyssssss I think most people continue to drink until they get a BFP, which as far as I can tell is safe.
It was just the nurse who removed my coil said that both me and my partner should stop drinking while ttc but it seems overkill!
To be fair I don't drink at home anyway only if I have a planned night out which basically never happens 😂 my partner just stops drinking in the fertile week but he does miss his beers!
I was taking the pregnacare conception tablets but I've picked up some bog standard folic acid with vitamin D from Holland and Barrett. Not sure if the fancy pregnacare ones are worth the money?!

How’s everyone getting on? Feels like the two week wait is flying this time for me, having a little holiday definitely distracts from the wait. If only I could do it every month 😂 think I’m 7DPO today, got my peak last Monday. Xx

Hi @pairofpears how's your holiday? Hope you're having a good break ☺
I've not managed to stay away from the tests 🙈 but 'only' once a day (an improvement from last cycle!) I ran out of IC today though, so I'll have to slow it down until I can get hold of more!
Keeping myself busy with removing kitchen tiles from the wall! I highly recommend taking a hammer to the wall if you have any frustrations! Very soothing 😂😂

@PairOfPears
How are you feeling?
I’ve not done anything this month...
how’s everyone else? Any exciting news from anyone?
Hope all keeping well

@SaraSS we’re back now, had a lovely break thank you! The tiles sound like a great distraction 😂 good way to get the frustration out! How many dpo are you/how long did you manage to hold off from testing?!

@Poppet2021 have you found it relaxing taking a month off? We only dtd twice this month as I was under the weather during my fertile week and I have to admit it’s massively taken the pressure off. I feel a lot more chilled.

@PairOfPears @Poppet2021 @SaraSS hey ladies sorry I have been totally MIA this month, I've actually really enjoyed taking a 'chilled' approach this month - but I don't know how people fully forget because yday I decide to count what cycle day I am and I'm CD 25 so now the urge to symptom spot has come full force!!! It's strange how not knowing where I am has made me not notice ANY symptoms and as soon as I notice I have 'cramps' the power of the mind!

Glad you had a lovely time away @PairOfPears, I think @

Sorry below message sent before finished

I think @SaraSS if once a day is less then last month then that is defiantly an improvement to notice!! I remember one month I was testing about 3 times a day from about 4DPO 😖

@Poppet2021 how have you found not doing anything this month?

I’ve been. We arent ttc this month. Just wanted a month or maybe more to relax. It took over and I didn’t want that. Will see how things go and when/if we want ttc again.

@pairofpears I'm 11 dpo today, been shamelessly testing since 7 dpo but stuck to 1 a day. I do rationalise it as it helps me just get on with my day once I know, especially when I'm working from home- the temptation is unbelievable!
I have ran out of IC now and won't have more until Saturday.. used my only FRER as well this morning 😒 so no more tests until saturday- by which point AF may arrive!

Glad to hear you've all had a more relaxed month. I'm still new to this (cycle 3) but I'm starting to see how it can be overwhelming and consuming. We all need to take a breather as and when required

Hey ladies
How are you all?
I know I’m not ttc currently... but just wanted to see how you all are?
Any good news for any of you? My fingers are crossed!
@SaraSS @purpleskyssssss @PairOfPears

Hi @Poppet2021. Good thanks, no news from me I'm afraid. Just heading into cycle 4 and feeling quite deflated, going to take it easy over the next few weeks and try to keep myself occupied with other things!
How are you? Are you having a complete break or just not tracking?

@SaraSS
I’m actually taking a complete break at the minute.
Don’t stress about anything, relax, maybe book a random night or two away if you are able.
Do something you’d never do.. :0)
Sending you lots of positivity xx

Hey ladies @Poppet2021 @SaraSS @PairOfPears

No good news from this side either - took a relaxed approached this month which I did see the benefits of - but I had a longer cycle then normal CD35 I started spotting, so it was difficult not knowing where i was with ovulation etc!

On the good side I again am going to relax fhis month, I have a telephone call with the dr tomorrow and I have managed to get OH to finally get booked in for a sperm analysis! YAY

Hope you are all doing well, a hard journey we are all on but we will get our BFP ❤️❤️❤️

Hey ☺️ Good to hear from you all! No news here, heading into month 6 and just trying to stay relaxed and positive! Great news @purpleskyssssss that you have those appointments and calls booked, one step closer to your bfp.

@Poppet2021 hope your break is going well!

And @SaraSS good luck with staying distracted.

It’s so easy to let ttc take over, it actually messes with your head so much and as if AF isn’t bad enough already then you’re also dealing with disappointment. Definitely a very hard journey to be on. 💛

@PairOfPears @purpleskyssssss @SaraSS
Goodluck with your next cycles ladies.
It is a hard journey... but sending you all good vibes and positivity for this month xx

@PairOfPears @Poppet2021 thanks both!

I spoke to the dr today which was 0% useful, basically said he would not see/ refer me until trying for Atleast 18 months 😢 I really thought it was 1 year! He said it was because I am young 25 and OH is 30!

Hoping OH dr's appointment is better!

Oh im so sorry to hear that @purpleskyssssss how frustrating. I thought it was a year as well. Maybe a different doctor would be willing to do a referral?
Hope you're doing ok xx
