@CTMcG congrats lovely!! Fab news!

@Eli707 rant away lovely this thread is for any support you need. I'm rubbish at reading those graphs as never temped or tracked like that myself I've only ever used opks and gone off cm. I've read on here sometimes bodies gear themselves up to O but then don't so go again so you might still ovulate this cycle a bit later :) glad you have got an appointment for Monday, hopefully it will help you, I do agree though not knowing is the worst. Sending lots of love and support ❤

Hi girls,

I've been a bit quiet because I have just been so busy with work.

@CTMcG a huge congratulations! That is amazing news.

Great to hear all's going well with our BFP ladies too.

@Eli707 don't apologise for the rant at all. Your chart does look a bit confusing. I do think though that sometimes our cycles are just a little random for no good reason. As Aries said, maybe you haven't ovulated yet? How many cycles have you been TTC?

@Sparklingwine1 this is cycle 7. I think if I don't get peak tomorrow I'm done and don't want to waste test strips - they're costing me a fortune!

@Eli707 I only tracked my temperature for 1 cycle so I’m not an expert.. however I’d agree with @Aries491 - I think sometimes your body gears up to ovulate and doesn’t manage it, so tries again a few days later. I don’t think you’ve ovulated yet as your temperatures aren’t that much higher than the cover line?

Let us know what the GP says!

@Sparklingwine1 how are you getting on? X

I know it's hard @Eli707 - I sometimes have moments where I panic and think 'why hasn't it happened yet?' but I try and remember sometimes It can take a while. My friend took 12 months - no issues with her or her DP it just happened to take them that long. I'm not an expert but from what I've seen on here, stress can actually make it harder too.
That is good though that you are able to talk to the Dr already. Please keep us updated with what they say. We are here as and when you need to vent ❤️

I'm good thanks @HRP1990. This has been a strange month for us. It should have been cycle 5 but I'm not going to count it 😂 due to going away and work, we have only DTD once this entire cycle so far! I haven't temped or done OPKs this month but I think we DTD the first day of my FW. I think now I would be about 10DPO but I would fall off my chair if we'd somehow managed it this month. I'm really looking forward to getting back in the game properly next cycle x

@SkeletonSkins how are you doing lovely? Xx

@glasspaw

Ooh *@80sPadme* I missed your news!! Huge congratulations!

Thanks lovely. Just over 4 weeks the now 😃

Hi everyone! Just checking in, hope everyone is doing well :) I am waiting the arrival of AF so I can get cracking on with the next cycle xxx

Hi @Aries491 👋
How are you doing? How's your week going?
My AF is due tomorrow! I've stocked up on chocolate ready for her 🧙

@Eli707 how's your chart looking now?

Hey @Sparklingwine1 I am good thanks and week is good too thanks how about you? :)
Ooh good thinking with the choc! My AF is due across the weekend so may add some choc onto Fridays shop delivery haha.fingers crossed for the next cycle :)

Huge congratulations to the BFPs! So exciting!!

I decided to re-join the board, had to take a break after an ectopic pregnancy in June that resulted in the removal of my right tube. Enjoyed holidays in France with a lot of good wine and gin, and now I think I'm ready to TTC again. Also trying for #1, I'm 36 for another week and looking forward to see a lot of BFPs here. And if not, at least we're in it together right?

Wishing you all BFP baby dust. For this month

Thanks @80sPadme how are you doing?

Sorry to hear about your ectopic @Bundaberg84 but I am glad to hear you've been relaxing away and ready to TTC again now :) we are indeed in it together, this group is great for support and info :) x

@Aries491 thank you! x

I'm good thank you @Aries491 the 🧙 got me today so I'm back on CD1. Feeling very crampy today but luckily in leggings as I'm working from home.

It wasn't a surprise as this month me and DH had to just abandon the baby making ship because we wasn't together in the FW. We only managed once, I think it was on the first day of the FW, so I knew our chances were next to none.

I feel good to have started a new cycle but haven't yet decided on my approach yet! I will definitely temp but I may not do OPKs. Having a month off from POAS has been so nice 😂.. I really don't want to go back to it. But I'll see how I feel when AF ends.

Are you trying again this month after your month off? Will you do anything differently?

Hi @Bundaberg84 I'm so sorry to hear of all you've been through. We are 100% in it together and can support each other in this group.

Are you doing anything like OPKs or temping? Or just taking a relaxed approach?

Hi @Sparklingwine1 :) oh sorry that the witch arrived but glad you're working from home. cd1 is also crampy for me so I much prefer to be at home in joggers with a hot water bottle stuffed in the waistband 😂

It is less stressful POAS isn't it although addicting at the same time haha, see how you feel after AF as to which approach you're going to try :)

Yes trying again this month after AF arrives although we did DTD once at the heat of the moment before FW and last night, would eat my hat if it worked lol.

Reckon AF on her way though I just had a massive moan to OH about how i dislike the fact its raining and I can't dig the weeds up and how our garden and housework is stressing me out lol just got really down for no reason so she's nearing for sure!!

Think I'll carry on with the relaxed approach of DTD a few times a week and see how it goes xx

Exhausted. Morning sickness is bad already but happy to be having a small person

Thanks for asking @Sparklingwine1. Temp still high but not as high as normal so I don't think I've ovulated this cycle. CD22 so AF due Thursday next week. Last time I didn't ovulate AF came early which I'll be really hacked off about if the happens as we're escaping to the sun today for a week.

Spoke with GP on Monday and she sent me for 21 day blood test which I had yesterday. Will be interesting to know if I did ovulate as pretty sure I didn't or if I did was around CD10 instead of 14/16. Have been referred to fertility specialist straight away because of age - and also I suspect because the wait is a long one! Have the number for OH to book a semen analysis but not brought this up with him yet - he's gonna hate that!

Hope everyone else is ok - I just want this cycle to be over now so we can start over again.

@Sparklingwine1 I have that clear blue monitor thingy, but I wouldn't even need as I tend to ovulate on the same day like a clockwork, but I decided to use it that month again just to be on the safe side after the surgery. I also had the second vaccine this month so it might get delayed.

Morning all, just checking in to let you know I'm still keeping track of all your journeys and sending you lots of baby dust. Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend xxxx

I also keep popping in to see how everyone is doing. Hope everyone is doing ok xx

@Eli707 That’s great you were referred to a fertility specialist straight away! I never got referred to one after months of being in touch with GP and several tests (and I’m 37 next week) so that’s great they sound very on the ball! Hopefully you can get some answers (or your BFP while you’re waiting!) very soon. Hope you’re feeling ok.

Thanks @Mrsspoon3 and @KayL1988 it's nice to have you as our cheerleaders cheering on our eggs 😊🤣 I debated joining another TTC thread as well as staying on this one but none seems as nice as this and everyone in this thread seems quite invested in each other and how we all get on!

Hope you're both doing well! Xx
