@glasspaw - I wasn’t sure if you’d want to come over to our new thread lovely but I thought I’d tag you just incase

I’ve tried to remember everyone! If you notice someone I’ve missed tag them in

Group of 30 somethings TTC baby number 1!
New recruits welcome, nothing is off limits! Trust me 😂

My DH has now asked to understand what happens with my cycle so that he can mentally prepare for the fertile week. I had a peak on an OPK about a week ago now but not my usual ewcm so don't know if I ovulated or not. I also don't know how long my cycle is going to be so just lots of knicker checking. We hardly DTD this month due to the circumstances so not expecting a BFP but it would be nice to know if I ovulated and I'm fertile again. Previously I'm sure I had months that although I had plenty ewcm I didn't have a peak and the one month that I did we had a BFP. I did think it was going to be easier than this haha

@HRP1990 @skeletonSkins it's so funny isn't.. all for the idea of a bubba but don't pressure me! How do you think this works you dummy! 🤣
I'm going crazy with all these ideas and innuendos I have to come up with to make it less obvious 🤣 I don't know who I've become .. literally put in a request for "a morning special!" .. he was so pleased with himself ❤

Well if you did O on CD17, regardless of a BFP or not it’s early for you 👏🏻 sounds like the conceive plus is working so that’s a big positive ❤️

I’d be intrigued to see how your temp/OPK is tomorrow!

@Dannii892 😂 I know what you mean! Nice underwear is slowly going to stop cutting it haha

@SkeletonSkins I have regular, 28 day cycles. I ovulate around day 16 according to my clearblue sticks and start bleeding 12 days later.

I already considered if I had an anovulatory cycle this month, but I had a temperature shift around ovulation, positive LH test and ewcm so seems unlikely?

Definitely don't feel pregnant. Days before I had my miscarriage, I had sore boobs, felt nauseous, was sensitive to smells.

Right now I don't feel anything. I feel completely normal.

I'm taking my pregnare tablets though that I still have left over after I miscarried, just as a precaution . This way I can protect the baby if I'm indeed pregnant. I don't drink alcohol anyway, so that's an easy one for me.

I think I will test in the next few days it AF hasn't shown up by then.

Thanks for your kind words x

@Foodster yes I’d agree that you do seem to have ovulated as you’ve had the temp shift, the only thing I’d say is that I sometimes have a temp shift that then drops as it’s a failed ovulation, and I then ovulate a few days later, but I have PCOS and if that’s never happened to you before it seems unlikely. Take your time and do whatever you need to do, that’s right for you. Got my fingers crossed for you x

@HRP1990 I’ll keep you updated, it is weirdly interesting isn’t it! Managed to get a BD in tonight so if the EWCM means something at least I’m doing the right things 😂😂

@PeanuttyButter I had to do the same OH wanted to know how it was all working so have had to give him a biology lesson! Tbh I kinda prefer that he knows when to expect to BD so I don't have to get things going every time.

BFN this morning but not giving up hope yet. Could be 12 DPO according to BBT and app but 9DPO according to OPK (can't wait for a bit of clarity if I have to keep going into next cycle!)
App also thinks AF should have arrived today based on previous LPs but I think Friday - temp is still high so def not today, always plummets the morning that AF arrives - even if it's much later in the day.
Hope everyone else is doing ok - I'm feeling like I'm going a bit loopy. Never thought I'd be this person, looking forward to days I get to pee on something!!

Morning girl gang,

There’s a lot to catch up on since I left so I’m not going to reply to everyone individually, mostly because it feels too much like hard work 😂 that being said

Congrats (please read that in a posh voice because it makes me laugh) on the BFP @SareBear87

Thank you to everyone who said kind words to me, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one 🥰

Nothing much to report here, saying that I never really have too much to report. CDfuckknows as I haven’t been tracking, and I’m not sure I’m going to for this cycle. Still not feeling 100% but that’s a whole other story.

In other news, while I’ve been away I’ve been doing some news reading and an article popped up. Fun fact - 1 in every 2,500 births is by a woman who didn’t know (or hid) that she was pregnant. Which when you consider the amount of people in this country alone (UK), it seems like a really high number to me.

Morningggg all!

@Peachycream so glad to see your name pop up again this morning 🥰. Hopefully you had a nice relaxing weekend!?

I love the biology lessons for our OH's ... I reckon they should change the tracking apps so your OH can download a version with the key update in. Something like:
'Fertile window approaching.... ❤️ you'll get lucky'.... 'TWW... fun distractions needed'... 'due the 🧙‍♀️ bring chocolate and have 🍷 🧀 on standby'.

@Eli707 so annoying your ovulation date isn't clear but it's not over until the 🧙‍♀️ arrives!

Morning girls!

Glad to see you’re back @Peachycream with another random fact 😂 I can’t believe that women don’t realise they’re pregnant, that’s madness. If there’s no bump where/how exactly is the baby hiding!?

@KayL1988 how did you manage to get away with not drinking this weekend?

Morning girls!

Happy Monday!

Awww @SareBear87 that is soo sweet how you told your DP! I admire your self control at not just blabbing it out! I think I will really struggle to keep it to myself even for five minutes. Fingers crossed the next 8 weeks goes smoothly for you 🤞🏼

Omg @KayL1988 I LOVE that idea for the app for men 😂😂

Not much of an update from me. AF arrived on Saturday 👎🏼👎🏼 so I am officially on CD 3 of cycle 4 TTC!

My thermometer arrives today and I'm so excited! 📈📉

Welcome to all the newbies! And welcome back @Peachycream

xx

Ladies - I need your help. I was supposed to wait until Wednesday to test but I caved this morning with an internet cheapie. Is this a line?

I’ve thrown my cup of wee away (nice 😂) so can’t test with a FRER!!!

I’m 10DPO and was fully expecting my spotting to start later today and full blow 🧙 arriving tomorrow. Also got a slight temp drop this morning but not quite below the cover line.

🙏 praying it sticks 🙏

CD3 and just had my bloods done again.
Hopefully by Friday I will know exactly which hormones I need to lower/ nhigher and I can get this journey really started

So hard to get a picture without a shadow on it! Here’s another….

Didn’t even need to open to see the line @PurpleCat88 congrats 🥳

Morning Ladies! How was everyone's weekends? I am sooooo tired today as had the OH's parents round (would call them the in laws but we arent married lol!) And was putting shelves and mirrors up last night. Glad to be wfh in my joggers thats for sure 😀

@HRP1990 I think it is good to be a bit more chilled out and in the grand scheme of things we've only been trying 2 months so not long really. I'm just gonna leave the opks for this month, fitbit seems bang on with my cycle in terms of O and AF so will roughly go off that but try to BD every day/other day whenever we feel like it.

@SareBear87 it was thoughtful of him. Congrats to you btw and what a lovely way to announce it :)

@Sparklingwine1 I am CD3 too as got my AF Saturday morning so cycle buddies again! Baby dust for this round :)

@Peachycream lovely to see you pop up again and really hope you start to feel more 100% soon. Might be good not to properly track for a cycle or so and just see how things go. In terms of that fact that is interesting and does seem high!!

Think I've caught up with the majority in this post haha :) xxx

Good luck with your bloods results @80sPadme 💗💗 hope it gives you some good answers for steps going forward:) xx

How are we? Where are we? Anyone got any news?

@eli707 I think he feels a bit less pressured because on said days he can instigate and doesn't have to be ready when I say, he can get in from work and BD or do it in the morning before work or just before bed iyswim. And I don't feel like I'm nagging/pressurising him to perform.

@PurpleCat88 looks positive to me congratulations

Still nothing to report on knicker watch here. Although I'm so emotional it's unreal, just wish AF would come and I can move on.

I can definitely see a line @PurpleCat88 !!

Do you have any frer to do a back up?!

X

@Aries491 yay cycle buddies again!

I'm already looking forward to AF finishing.

@Peachycream @PeanuttyButter @Sparklingwine1 thanks ladies! Feel a bit in shock right now! Yep I have 2 FRER, so just to wait for SMU and then I’ll try again with that 🤞

@Peachycream - welcome back - hope you’re feeling better for this cycle. Maybe not tracking is the way to go - sometimes too much knowledge is stressful!

@80sPadme - good luck with the test results and hope you get some insight into what’s going on!

Good luck with your bloods @80sPadme

Congrats @PurpleCat88 looks positive to me!!!

@HRP1990 it was fun ... I had to say I was on Antibiotics and got questioned so much. There was literally no escape because one of the family wanted to treat us all to the meal so couldn't just sneakily order non alcoholic drinks! 😅

Also @PurpleCat88 I threw my pee away too, but managed to squeeze another little one out before I drank anything... might be worth a shout if you have a FRER!

@PurpleCat88 that is definitely a line! Congratulations :)

@Peachycream welcome back! I cannot actually believe that anyone could go through this and not know! That is wild.
