TTC APRIL

[RMS0209]

Hi!
Making a thread looking for some company/support
I'm currently going into cycle 4, trying to conceive baby 1.
Looking for others in similar situation.
Beginning to feel a bit deflated now, as I am sure many many others are too.
Trying some things different this cycle to hopefully get a BFP
•ordered an Ovusense core
•carrying on with my reflexology weekly
•Trying the SMEP method
•Hot water bottle after ovulation as I read someone else done on here
•carrying on with my supplements

Any other advice/recommendations/suggestions welcome

May April be the months of lots of BFP's 🌟.x

@MrsGrealish @RMS0209 all on the same cycle together ☺️

@RMS0209 yes wouldn't we all 😂 which one are you thinking of trying first?

Possibly! Thanks for all of your congrats. I'm still not convinced as I did another this morning and it wasn't any darker. Going to get some more today to confirm as not sure if it's an evap. Took a cheapie too, send pic is once it had dried. How are you all getting on?

Congrats @RSmamaa! Fingers crossed for a sticky bean!

Flashing smiley on the Clearblue this morning and of course I went to get another blood test because I love data, haha.

@Rhianne18 not sure, ended up not being able to dance last night so tonight is the night to dance... might do a remix version of SMEP starting tonight 

@babyjellyfish I have a flashy clear blue this morning too, CD9 go us woo

@alwaysseeingstars We are both 31.

@RSmamaa That looks positive to me!!! :D Can't wait to see your line get darker over the next few days!

I'm on CD10 and meant to ovulate CD13. Heaps of female pain and not even a faint line on my cheap OPKs :(

I am learning so much from everyone but kind of scared by how little information I really know about what's going on in my body. Flying blindly ATM!

@pocketbunny our body's aren't that simple, please don't fret
the last few months my ovulation has been all over the place.

Dec-CD14
Jan- CD14
Feb-CD18
March-CD16
April- who bloody knows

I would just keep dancing if you can... it'll peak out of nowhere no doubt!

@RMS0209 Thank you for your support. Seeing your CD for ovulation is very reassuring. I will keep testing until I run out.

Overshare...but... We don't usually dance very much unfortunately ... Absolutely in love but high pressure jobs with different work hours, volunteering, hobbies, pets in the double digits... Sometimes a month will pass and we just haven't found the energy. Believe me the want is there! And we are making an intentional effort now to make this happen...

@pocketbunny
no problem, it's what the group is for.
I also know when I start to fret in a few days you ladies will have the unlucky job of trying to reassure me ha ha.
keep testing if you can! do you have enough for the rest of this cycle? If not get on prime so you are covered.

Don't think anything is over share or TMI so please don't worry!
We don't usually dance that often either, but I think OH can see it's getting to me so we are going to make a conscious effort this month, I said I want to hit more fertile week windows rather than just peak.
Try make time just for you two at nights I know easier said than done again but I did read if you can try do 2/3 days a week you will succeed (was either YouTube or nhs website who knows!)

@RSmamaa congrats!! Oh that’s so exciting for you ❤️
@RPTTC 🤞 for you!!
@babyjellyfish and @RMS0209 also flashing (still) - day 5 now! Keep 🤞 that I’ll get a static soon! CD12 today.
@pocketbunny no worries for the over share, sadly we are exactly the same! Trying to boost that a lot but when ridiculously busy it really is difficult.

@RMS0209 yeah I saw the same on the NHS site 😊

@RSmamaa yes chuffed for you, hopefully this chat will provide lots of lovely BFP's! 🥰

@alwaysseeingstars yay to the flashy! I was delighted this morning, I haven't seen one in two months it's went from O to peak so I am delighted today.
Going to go for every 2nd day now until I get a peak then try the 3 in a row one day break and then one more for luck 🍀🤞🏻
CD9 for me, I reckon your static will be over the weekend which is VERY ideal! X

@RSmamaa how are you feeling?

@RMS0209 oh gosh I hope so. We’ve got a slightly less hectic this weekend (as in we may have chill time after 6pm each day which is unheard of for us lately) so plan is to try and make an effort for a change this weekend! Properly cook rather than bang stuff in the oven and just make a bit of time for each other. Here’s hoping anyway!
Do you think your O may be slightly earlier this time if you’re getting the flashing now?
@MrsGrealish how are your nerves now you’re in the TWW? 😆

@alwaysseeingstars I'll be honest feeling little queasy and I know that's just nerves

Good luck with the fertile week! It was over before I was ready

@alwaysseeingstars
I'm taking all this as a good sign for you! fingers crossed, sounds like a great weekend. I hate peaking during the week wish we could request it at weekends only haha.
That will be nice some "you guys" time.

I have 0 idea, honestly don't, I will do a cheapie OPK later today and see if it's any darker but I want to start tonight like I say every 2 nights so we have some guys waiting if eggy does make an appearance early 

Yeah @MrsGrealish how is the TWW going? Demented yet? Ha ha

Struggling to keep up with messages but are we all on flashy smiley?! @RMS0209 @alwaysseeingstars @babyjellyfish how many flashy days are you guys?

Third flashy for me today, hoping to get static tomorrow or Sunday, ideally not Sunday stuck at my mum's ha.

@RMS0209 obviously. Don't worry your TWW isn't far away 🤣

@MO22 flashy day 5... if it's anything like last month I'll get the static in around 5 days - but hopefully this weekend as @RMS0209 said as that will be MUCH more convenient 🤣
at least if it were Sunday you'd be able to DTD that night and know you should've easily caught it? :)

@MrsGrealish ah bless, at least you know there's a good group here to vent your 2WW stress to 🤣

@RMS0209 loving your idea of a remix version!

Hope everyone's having a good day!

Update from my appointment this morning. I have PCSO, they’re giving me medication for it, one to help me ovulate regular and also a tablet to bring my insulin down. DH has low sperm count (but not worryingly low) but covid could have had an effect (so will repeat sample after the 3 month sperm cycle). They’ve given us a plan for 3 months, if we get pregnant naturally with the new medication then amazing, if not, DH goes back for another sperm sample and we start IVF! Feeling happy there’s a plan in place!

@Rhianne18 sorry to hear about the PCOS, but the wonderful thing is you now have a diagnosis and can work with it! My best friend got pregnant via IVF with PCOS and another friend got pregnant naturally with it - you can do this!!
Glad to hear you're positive and wishing you loads of luck xx

@MO22 first flashy smiley day for me today! First time I've seen it in 2 months, delighted.

@MrsGrealish haha grrr don't rub it in! do you put your charts on pre mom? Can you send me yours if you do 😇 I got 0.40 this morning on my OPK, I've never had this so early I feel marvellous!

@Rhianne18 sorry to hear about the PCOS but delighted you are getting help and have a plan, must be exciting to know it's on the straight and narrow is it. How are you feeling?
Sorry to ask... you said and I can't remember. Did you go private for this or NHS? Just nosey ness more than anything x

@MrsGrealish I don't feel great. I am full of a cold but otherwise fine. I'm just struggling to accept the 'positive' as it's just not dark enough 😂. I bought a superdrug early test and it BARELY shows anything. 50% of me thinks they are all evaps but the other 50% of me thinks surely they can't all be wrong? I'll just have to wait a few days I think! I am only 9dpo so hopefully at 11 I can use my digital x

I have no symptoms if thats what you meant 🤣. I had sickness from 5-9 weeks and nausea until 15 weeks with my son so not looking forward to that!

Ahhh @MrsGrealish, my blood test results came back and my estrogen level is apparently lower than yesterday, despite the fact that I got my Clearblue flashing smiley this morning and my CM seems to be looking more wet. Now I don't know what to think!
