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

Hya @FlyOnTheWall89 hope you are well. I am on now, was upsetting but have to keep focused and move on. I'm not hopeful this month. I think I just feel it's going to happen every time now for some reason. My ov is Saturday according to app. I've had a little bit of ewcm today as wel. We have already dtd Sunday as well. Today also and miss a day etc like we done last month. I am not even going to test this month either and just wait it oi this time as I just don't want to see a line and then no line xx

@rita83 Yes, I am going to wait it out this time unless I have super obvious symptoms, not just desperate symptom spotting symptoms. We are very synced so I will be checking in next week for sure. x

rita83 · 05/10/2021 12:41

@FlyOnTheWall89 haha even if I have symptoms I will not be testing at all. Thing that's hard for me with my other children I always had a period and found out a week later I was pregnant. That's what's going to make it difficult for me cos I don't know if my body will do the same. I really don't want to keep having to have chemicals though it's so disheartening. They say you are really fertile after one but my dr said I must be fertile anyway to fall with in the third month and I fell with all of mine within the third month. Do you normally get ovulation pain as well? I do but haven't had this as of yet I know I have loads of cm at the moment x

Finally AF came Saturday and still here flo says ovulation on 17th. Doing btt this month so we will see x

FlyOnTheWall89 · 05/10/2021 13:57

@rita83 yes I do get pain but one side is more obvious that the other. I only have a teeny bit of CM at the mo so I think I am a good 4/5 days off but will monitor closely and DTD at least every other day. I am also using pre-seed this month. Yes, I imagine they are so disheartening :-( - just like waiting months and months when you are not using protection and having very regular sex. It is crazy - all those years I thought I would get pregnant if I missed 2 pills.

rita83 · 05/10/2021 14:19

@FlyOnTheWall89 you are exactly like me I used to panic like crazy if I missed a pill and now been off it for four months nearly but saying that I did fall but was third time so not even straight away. What is pre seed I have heard of it? I ain't gonna bother with ov sticks either. I never did this last month and it worked but the little seed never stuck xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 05/10/2021 14:28

@rita83 Lots of people have used it with success. It is supposed to mimic your CM in guiding the spermies in the right direction. It is basically a lube (which we dont usually use) but most lubes are harmful to sperm, this one isn't. As I haven't been pregnant before, I thought I would give it a go this month! x

rita83 · 05/10/2021 18:12

Yes I have heard of this. U need to dtd when you get a lot of clear watery cm hun! I had this three days in a row last month and about half hour ago loads of it has come out. It's fertile mucus and the sperm will survive in this as well. Can I ask how long you have been trying for? How old are you. I am 38 and worried my eggs are too old now as well

FlyOnTheWall89 · 05/10/2021 19:42

@rita83 ye I know - we have very regular sex anyway so would pretty much always be hitting ovulation time. This Pre-Seed stuff might help a bit I guess. Lots of people have great experiences with it so thought I’d throw some more money at the problem. I’m 32 and this is cycle #6 trying for baby #1. We are both so excited about having babies but I did think it would happen sooner. Fingers crossed this time. I know in the grand scheme of things, it’s not been long. X

FlyOnTheWall89 · 05/10/2021 19:44

@rita83 I think I saw someone post recently conversation with a doctor. She was 35 and worried about her age. He said don’t be… but I guess you could get a test to put your mind at rest. X

Cruz86 · 05/10/2021 19:46

Hi ladies!

@Leibee87 how are you getting on? Any news since your bfn last week?

@FlyOnTheWall89 I used pre-seed when TTC with my son and I'm so sure it helped! Will probably use it again if this cycle is unsuccessful.

Apparently I'm just coming out of my fertile window even though I'm only on cd12! But maybe that's where I've gone wrong in the past, thinking I don't ovulate until later.

Cruz86 · 05/10/2021 19:47

Oh sorry @Leibee87 I've just read your updated post 😩 really frustrating that AF made an appearance but glad you can start your next cycle now - no more waiting around!

rita83 · 06/10/2021 09:01

@FlyOnTheWall89 Morning

When I spoke to the dr about it he wasn't concerned at all and said if it happens again then I would have to be one unlucky individual but I've known loads of women to have like 4 or 5 of them as well. I keep thinking maybe it implanted in a funny place. I think my right ovary is going to release as well as I have had pain this side today. We never dtd last night either so need to do today really. I still have ewcm this morning as well xx

OP posts:
FlyOnTheWall89 · 06/10/2021 09:43

@rita83 We DTD last night, EWCM has increased today. We are literally so in sync. Fingers crossed for you xx

Leibee87 · 06/10/2021 10:16

Ahh sprinkles baby dust good luck guys. I'm on cd5. AF seems to have gone. Really want to be pregnant by Christmas. We are currently in the process of finding somewhere to live and I think pregnancy announcement will be an excellent Christmas present.

rita83 · 06/10/2021 10:37

@Leibee87 we want this as well before Xmas. I said to my hubby I wonder if it is waiting just before Xmas. I conceived Xmas last year around Xmas Eve it would have been but this ended up in chemical. @FlyOnTheWall89 I hope we haven't missed out chances now cos we never dtd last night. I think we sld still be ok as they say if u cover the three days before ovulation and just after. We are totally in sync aren't we x

This is my prediction this month

2WW anyone? Af due Friday

rita83 · 06/10/2021 10:39

Ignore the Tuesday though cos we never dtd this day but ovulation supposed to be Saturday!! My ewcm is just pouring out for some reason. Sorry tmi I know 😂

OP posts:
Cruz86 · 06/10/2021 11:21

I'm due AF on the 22nd @rita83 so think we'll all be testing around the same time!

FlyOnTheWall89 · 06/10/2021 11:28

@Cruz86 and I am due AF 23rd - god that sounds ages away!!!!

Cruz86 · 06/10/2021 11:30

Ahhh don't say that!! I can't wait that long 😂 apparently I'm out of my fertile window now but I'm not convinced so I'm waiting for some opks to be delivered today to make sure.

rita83 · 07/10/2021 10:48

@Cruz86 @FlyOnTheWall89 my af due 23rd I am not going to test at all before this!!!! How are we today. My cervical mucus has calmed down today so egg maybe today or tomorrow. We dtd last night as well and will do tomo and Saturday as well. I will be looking out for signs though still in the 2ww x

OP posts:
rita83 · 07/10/2021 10:49

@cruz did you get a positive ovulation at all? What days was your fertile period and when did you dtd x

OP posts:
Cruz86 · 07/10/2021 10:54

I say I won't test but I probably will 😂 well my fertile period has shifted because of my cm I think. It's very watery but no sign of ewcm. It's weird though because I had sharps pains about 4 days ago so I thought that would've been it, but maybe not 🤷🏼‍♀️ opks still haven't arrived, due today so fingers crossed I can work out whether I have already ovulated or I'm about to.

We DTD Sat, Mon and last night. Will probs again tomorrow night too!

Got my fingers crossed for us!!

Cruz86 · 07/10/2021 14:46

Well my ovulation test was negative today. I'm now worried that I don't actually ovulate because I'm on cd 14 of a 28 day cycle and it just seems like time isn't on my side now
