@Purple29
I’m sorry you have had a tough time
I used to ovulate cd16 it’s now cd13
My head is currently fried, could u work this out for me, I’m currently late with negative tests, but I’m at a loss here today and feel better with a plan.
I’m usually on top of this.
I do believe opk sticks divert me, I’ve quit peeing in them

I thought I conquered it this month, I DTD CD9 to empty the old ones out, 12 peak,13 suspected ovulation,15 in case I ovulated late,18 just for the craic, so u can imagine my excitement when I was late.
I miscarried at 9 weeks last June
I’d be due on Tuesday coming - 💔

I’ve no Af and negative tests

@Decaffe

I ovulate on day 13 so I would do day 6, 10, 12 and 14 using Purple’s method Smile
@Nikkic2123
Purple29 · 02/01/2022 13:01

Yeah thats what it would work out as. 🤞🤞🤞

BH1926 · 02/01/2022 13:01

2nd of January and threads almost full already 😂

Nikkic2123 · 02/01/2022 13:05

Thanks @Decaffe
Yes
I supposed if I ovulated say day 16 the extra will cover it.
I’ll see how I go.
Thanks girls, you are all lovely in here 🥰

mightbeyesmightbeno · 02/01/2022 13:06

Thanks @kizzy97 although I'm now thinking after reading about "the purple method" that I should try for tomorrow as have current DTD on 7,10,13 on a 28 day cycle ... so almost spot on the suggestion 😂 @Purple29 so sorry to hear your story and it must have been so hard going though that. But keeping everything crossed for you!

I know you said you don't POAS now (I think I'm stopping next month as agree it also distracts me and is probably not needed - the month I conceived my daughter I didn't track and hey presto!) but perhaps for this month just to see if you cycle is back on track?

mightbeyesmightbeno · 02/01/2022 13:06

@BH1926

2nd of January and threads almost full already 😂
😂😂😂😂love it!
kizzy97 · 02/01/2022 13:29

@mightbeyesmightbeno either way seems like you'll have caught it! So fingers crossed 🤞 if I'm unsucessful again this cycle I'll try Purples method next cycle! 3 or 6dpo and just had a big glob of ewcm (sorry tmi) so worried that I could be ovulating now? Can't BD as my DP has done his leg and back in 😞 but I had all my typical ovulation signs end of last week and beginning of this week.

Purple29 · 02/01/2022 13:38

@mightbeyesmightbeno yeah I might do that, although I'm still a bit sore for doing anything just now, even if it said I was ov. On my previous cycle I would be due AF today... so think I will be different now, cause there's no signs.

mightbeyesmightbeno · 02/01/2022 13:43

@Purple29 yes you deffo need to give yourself enough time to fully recover and feel ok. I didn't mean to necessarily do anything but I just meant to see where you were at. But I guess if SF due on previous cycles then chances are O would have def passed so maybe just wait until after AF next cycle and see if you're still 28 days

Hopingforarainbow27 · 02/01/2022 13:46

I feel pulsing sensations really really low down? Is this anything 😂

RosyappleA · 02/01/2022 13:59

@madeleine85 thanks this was very helpful i completing disregarded that the follicular phase changes in length!
@Purple29 this seems such a logical way of doing this, will be trying this next month for sure!
@ThePodParent that was a very helpful answer, I started feeling too that BD well before ovulation is what got me pregnant the last time and the last few cycles I've been leaving it too late

Purple29 · 02/01/2022 14:22

Yeah think we are planning to wait a little. DH is away deployed at the end of the month so looks unlikely we will get a 2022 baby. But hes only away 3 weeks so you never know!! 🌈🤞

Btbt · 02/01/2022 15:02

So sorry to hear about your loss @Purple29

If this month didn't pan out for me, I'll give your method a go :) baby dust to you

Btbt · 02/01/2022 15:03

Thank you @HelloNope :) no AF yet. BFN is being a lil suspect, but nothing photo worthy

PoleFairy · 02/01/2022 15:07

This is really interesting @purple29 as I have a 26 day cycle and dtd on days 10, 12 and 14 this month. I didnt do the emptying of old sperm on day 7 though annoyingly (I was still spotting then) and I suspect DH probably would have given himself a hand at some point before day 10 so the sperm might not have been matured.

MadamMaltesers · 02/01/2022 16:00

Hi everyone

I'm ttc after a miscarriage at 8 weeks in November. It was my third miscarriage, ended up having a d&c. Currently 7 or possibly 8dpo. The only symptom I have is excruciating lower back pain. Not sure what to expect really after my d&c . My 2nd Miscarriage was spontaneous at 7 weeks and the 1st I went into labour at 20 weeks. So it's Mt first d&c and hopefully my last.

Mariabombia · 02/01/2022 16:02

Ladies, I'm 10 DPO and can't stop thinking about testing ... 😬 even though I'm nervous to do it I think I just want to know either way now.

Would anything even show this early? & with it being an evening wee too 🤣AF not due until fri.

TTC is such a rollercoaster of emotions isn't it !! Argh hate the TWW

Xx

Hopingforarainbow27 · 02/01/2022 16:05

Sorry to everyone who has lost babies. I too have lost 2. I hope we get our rainbow babies in 2022. It does make ttc much harder I find as you have fear or getting pregnant and fear of not getting pregnant again. Sending you all lots of love and thank you to everyone on here for supporting each other. We are just one big group chat! 🌈

@Mariabombia I tested this morning at 10DPO and... BFN! Felt awful afterwards. I've had some brown spotting today too. Hard not to obsess now I know it was a negative and likely to be AF too

Ambi88 · 02/01/2022 16:40

Well I tested today at 12dpo and bfn 😣 I guess that's me out this month! Iv had cramping for a week and I'm super moody. Just waiting for the witch to arrive now in 3 days

Mariabombia · 02/01/2022 16:56

Sorry to hear @aesgriff & @Ambi88 :( I can imagine you're feeling very deflated but hopefully it will just be too early and AF won't come for you both 🤞🏻

I have heard people not testing positive until a week after their missed period and then some people testing positive really early so god knows what to do for the best.

Feel really crampy today and have random shooting pains in my left boob 😅🤷🏼‍♀️ but I get similar aches and pains with PMS so trying not to read too much into it. In fact I think I'd feel more confident if I wasn't getting any aches or pains because that would be out of the ordinary lol.

Xxx

HelloNope · 02/01/2022 17:11

So hard to keep up with these threads 😂
The symptom spotting is the worst, a lot of pregnancy symptoms are the same as AF and it feels a little cruel!
My DH is so chilled out about it all. I might pop over to Dadsnet to look for a conception thread! Oh wait.

Btbt · 02/01/2022 17:35

@HelloNope DH is sooo chill about it. It's so frustrating. TTC for a long time and feeling it's taken a real toll on us

HelloNope · 02/01/2022 18:42

@Btbt How long have you been TTC for?
Still no sign of AF? Will you test again tomorrow? Fingers crossed for you x
