Making a new thread from the March group ♥️

I'm on CD 1, Cycle 11 of TTC our first 👶🏼
Had a MC in February
Ectopic last July with right tube removal
I have endometriosis (and I suspect low progesterone)

Trying to stay positive and think fresh cycle, my body probably needed this after the MC and its a fresh start ✨

Baby dust ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

Quick q ladies, assuming my AF comes this weekend.

I've ordered easy@home ovulation strips as I'd like to try and figure out when I'm ovulating. How do you count your DPO start date? When you get a peak test? Or from the day after peak etc? I'm also tracking my BBT now too so what am I looking for with that regarding ovulation? Thanks!

@curliegirlie what a pain, especially when you've started dtd a lot in anticipation of ovulation and it seems to never arrive, gets exhausting 😂

Hehe, yeah well, we’ve been pretty active over the Easter holidays as we’ve been on annual leave (so less tired/stressed), so it’s irritating that probably none of this copious DTD-ing is likely to have been in my fertile window! I just wish I knew for certain what is going on…

I’m also posting in the wrong group really too, as expecting my cycle to end around 9th May if it’s 30 days again…

Sassy144 · 23/04/2022 08:17

@MissBlue93 it's likely 1-2 days after peak opk but it's easier to pinpoint with bbt as you'll see a temp rise once you've ovulated

Sassy144 · 23/04/2022 08:20

@curliegirlie oh yeah I'm due af at the start of may too oops haha

kizzy97 · 23/04/2022 10:50

Welp af is now 3 days late, bo symptoms really other than a bit of boob ache but nothing severe unless they're touched. Haven't tested yet as I'm too scared and just waiting for her to show up anytime really. I'm trying to decide whether to brave it and do a test tomorrow morning or wait until I'm a week late

Nyxxie · 23/04/2022 10:51

Pretty sure I'm out for April 🙁 See some of you in the May thread!

Well done you on being so patient! Do whatever you feel, i personally wouldn't wait that long, with my first i had a very strong positive on date Af due. Good luck x

Hi ladies just checking in, CD26 of a usual 30/31 day cycle, still have 4-5 days of going crazy and hoping for the best! Think I’m roughly 8dpo had to pee on an opk to just shift the need to poas!!! Zero symptoms as usual which always gets me down!! Good luck to all xx🍀
PS has the May thread been made? Think I’ll be needed it!😩

MissBlue93 · 23/04/2022 19:26

My AF due today and no show. Negative tests despite having faint lines during the week. Looks like perhaps a chemical 😔 did a FRER this morning and the faintest line so looked like an indent. They'd of been stronger by now considering weds I had one with a faint but clear line. No LH surge either but going to track it once AF comes as this month we just winged it!

Kitty901 · 23/04/2022 19:49

@MissBlue93 this is so strange, your frer had a good faint line, but i did have some light pink lines on them last month and i am sure they were just indent but definitely weren't like yours. And you had faint on different brands didn't you? Ah fingers crossed AF doesnt show and things turn around. Xx Ttc is awful and exhausting when you want it so much.

Yeah I know but since then they've all been negative and I did this one now that had a line but it's clearly an indent as everything else is neg! So frustrating. The pic with a stronger line is one I randomly took during my period last month which proves how crap they are for indents! As I wasn't pregnant then either x

Kitty901 · 23/04/2022 21:38

@MissBlue93 omg, make you question those test now! I really want to test only if i have missed my period as i was disappointed last month too. Hopefully i have the patience as it is hard.

Yeah my ovulation kit from easy@home just arrived so going to wait for AF, assuming it'll come tomorrow as was due today! And focus on the next cycle. Fingers crossed for us all!

Kitty901 · 23/04/2022 22:41

@MissBlue93 these are good and show the same as CB digital, i finished my CB and not going to buy anymore as no point. Just sticking to easy at home. Good luck to you too xx

Yeah I've got a couple CB digital tests left but not going to bother taking them as I know I'm not pregnant! Waiting for AF 🥲

kizzy97 · 24/04/2022 11:12

The witch has got me today 4 days late 😭😭 kinda glad I didn't test now, really starting to feel it's never going to happen and deflated that I'm looking at a 23 baby (was hoping for 3 year age gaps but looking at just under 5 now) good luck and baby dust to everyone yet to test! xx

MissBlue93 · 24/04/2022 11:32

AF arrived today!

See you on the May thread!

Kitty901 · 24/04/2022 23:29

I am sorry to hear that, it is really heartbreaking! All the best to you both for your next cycle xx

Brunette1989 · 25/04/2022 15:38

Hi Ladies,
Hope you're all okay 😊 I had a very stressful weekend with AF. Was due on Saturday and I always come on first thing in the morning I'm due so I have a cry and carry on my day. This Saturday nothing. Been 27 days bang on for the last 4 months so I was like ooooh. Waited all day nothing, did the 2 tests I had at home negative. Went and bought a 6 day early test- not pregnant. Then Sunday morning she arrives! Just very deflated as I tried not to get my hopes up but I've just been like clockwork the last few months so really thought that was it, was planning how i was going to tell my partner and everything. Has anyone else had cycle dates just randomly change?
is there a May thread made as i will need to hop onto that one to see how everyone gets on. Lots of love to everyone through this rollercoaster journey xxx

Sassy144 · 25/04/2022 15:49

@Brunette1989 I'm really sorry, that's so unfair! Could you possibly have ovulated a day later than you thought? Otherwise cycles can just vary randomly I'm sure!

I imagine telling hubby every month i am close to AF then she shows! It is so frustrating and disappointing. This month my AF is due on his bday, i would probably cry my eyes out if she shows, really want that to be his present.

Sassy144 · 25/04/2022 15:55

@Kitty901 mine is due a few days before hubby's birthday and I've thought how nice it would be to be able to surprise him with that as a present 😭 my fingers are crossed for you.
