Hya all

I am new to mums net. I am currently in my tww and losing hope again for this month. My af is due Friday the 24th. I have no symptoms really! Slight bruised feeling in sides of my boobs, and yesterday and sharp stabbing pains in my pelvic area. That's about it really. Just feel like af will show again and it's not happened again. This was my chart for this month as well and when we dtd

Ah keeping my fingers crossed for you. Definitely a stronger line.

9dpo today Af due Friday. Boobs are less painful but got backache and things. Like I said sure Oct isn't our month but we shall see. Shall test tomorrow maybe or maybe I'll just wait till Friday idk.

Cruz86 · 23/10/2021 13:42

Thank you @Leibee87 ☺️ Ooh good luck!! I had negatives throughout the day at 9dpo and then positive first thing the next morning, so don't feel disheartened if there's nothing there. It could be waiting for you a bit later the next morning!

Hello @Cruz86 my af has slowed down abit today a lot better than yesterday. Ovulation is around firework night 😂 fertile from the 31st of this month as well. Onwards and upwards ey!!! Your line is so dark now and I am glad your bleeding has calmed down as well. @xoxo321 with ovulation it depends how long your cycle is. So a 28 day cycle you ovulation can be from day 12 to day 14 from the first day that you bleed. If u can track cm I would look out for the egg white cm which is fertile cm and doing the deed around this time is good but also I would say to do the deed every two days in your fertile window and after your ovulation date as well just incase. I wld also say if you do have af then start using ov sticks to test with and start testing around day 9 from the first day being day 1 of the bleed. Make sure you dtd from around day 9 as well and then just do every other day and if you have a dark line on an ov stick this means you will ovulate within the next 36 hours so dtd the day u see a dark line and next day and next day as well but this might not be necessary as sperm can survive up to 5 days in the cervix. When I conceived last month we dtd about five times but did every other day and I never even used ovulation tests either but it managed to work but never stuck unfortunately. Do you have any idea how long your cycle is?

I use cb digital @xoxo321 but I also have some cheaper ones too. The ones this month that I'm going to try, I can upload a pic onto an app each day and it should give a level.

rita83 · 23/10/2021 16:21

Hello @Leibee87 I find the cheap ones are just as good. I used to buy 50 off Amazon. They worked fine with me. I might try some this month as well and post with ya. I am on cycle day 2 at the Monet so will start testing from next Friday ish xx

@xoxo321 it really sounds like your body is adjusting. You need to look out for thick white cm then the egg white after. Also ov pain as well which is normally one sided and sometimes u can feel sicky when ovulating. I know I do and I go really hot as well. I would use ov sticks every day they do 50 on Amazon cheap ones. Just keep testing other them twice a day so morning and evening x

@rita83 still no news here. No AF yet. Last month it started on CD32 in the evening oddly, I’m currently CD31. I’ve got this far without testing so I’ll wait until Monday. I don’t have anything which is an obvious symptom of pregnancy and im yet to have this day before period emotional for no reason few hours which I usually get so it is just a waiting game. I know I could test tomorrow, but im going to wait.

Sadly if im not pregnant we are no longer going to be in sync ☹️! Your fertile window already seems to be around the corner!

Good to see you’re doing well @Cruz86X

rita83 · 23/10/2021 18:19

Your welcome @xoxo321 let me know how you get on and I will also post girls and let you all know how my ovulation is or when it may occur. @FlyOnTheWall89 I know we were so in syn cld wasn't we!! Please let me know if af shows. My cycle has been very spot on every month for the last 4 months. Only a day out really. I knew af was gonna show though had period pain for a couple of days before hand but today I am hardly bleeding so all good and fingers crossed for this month xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 24/10/2021 12:58

@rita83 I think I’m out. I’ve started lightly bleeding. I just don’t know what more to do. That’s 6 cycles of definitely having plenty of sex around ovulation. Just feel like giving up.

rita83 · 24/10/2021 17:08

Awww @FlyOnTheWall89 is it just light or has it got heavier? Is it prepped af I mean. I know exactly how you feel as I have felt the same as well. You need to just be strong and the thing is it takes so much accuracy and timing as well for everything to be just right. Egg rich speed right timing right and the way in which dtd is done as well. If you are on your next cycle try to be relaxed and not to stress out about it too much. I found when we dot this last month that's when I had conceived as well. I feel just the same as I said to my dh that I feel like giving up and feel like my body just doesn't work anymore. But the way in which I look at it now is I am not on my pill and when i think I will ovulate the. We will just dtd before this and during th fertile window and then when we can jn between. There is only really a 24 hour window that the speed can fertilise the egg and it cld all just be the timing. I am with you, u are only 2 days out from me now so we are still nearly in sync so cycle buddies for this month 😌 x

Oh I'm really sorry to hear that @FlyOnTheWall89. I was rooting for you 😩 How is the bleeding now?

How are you @FlyOnTheWall89 x

FlyOnTheWall89 · 25/10/2021 16:32

Hi guys @Cruz86 @rita83, I’m okay. Just a bit disappointed but it’s the start of a new month. We pretty much used SMEP without realising it. I know we have sex at the right time, it’s just a case of it happening. I use OPKs but not obsessively because I am a super regular ovulator - always CD17. I used my app for prevention for a while a few years ago so I know my cycles very well. We go again as they say. Hoping cycle 7 is our month. I’m going to get my bloods done so I’m more in the know. I think I’ve missed the window for the CD1-5 check now as I’m unlikely to be able to get a last min appointment with tomorrow being CD3. Might be able to get my 21 day bloods done though. 9th November is ovulation day this cycle. Fingers crossed for you and I Rita83. Hope everything is going well for you Cruz!

rita83 · 25/10/2021 18:56

@FlyOnTheWall89 think positive now new month new cycle. You are not that far behind me. My ovulation is around the 5th so we are nearly in sync again. Hya @cruz how's things going are you feeling ok now x

Hi all well weekend away was lovely and stopped me testing but I did another this morning BFN, AF still hasn't arrived but I'm sure it's just around the corner now, I'm on cd26 now so sure it won't be long now, hoping we all get our BFP's next cycle xx

rita83 · 26/10/2021 09:40

@Oliver5 keep us updated 😊 my af has finished now yay!!!!! Here we go again 😂

Oliver5 · 26/10/2021 15:36
