@MamaSJ15 not great DTD timing here either tbh, because I got 7 days flashing smileys and ovulated almost a week later than usual we were great at DTD every other day for the week I expected to ovulate and then tapered off the longer it went on, so actually only ended up doing it 6 days before, 3 days before ovulation and the day after. Not feeling too optimistic either (but I know I'll still be testing from stupidly early DPO anyway!)

How's everyone feeling this sunny Friday? :)

CD1 today.. my cycles seem to have settled on 35 days so whilst I'm annoyed it's long, at least they now aren't super irregular like they used to be...

MamaSJ15 · 08/07/2022 16:46

@alwaysseeingstars hello 😊 it's good that your cycles seem to have become more regular.
I feel like I'm convincing myself I'm pregnant with some of the symptoms I've got but BFN on a cheapie. It's still early I guess. I think I'm around 13dpo ish, CD25.

MrsGrealish · 08/07/2022 19:28

@alwaysseeingstars it's no too sunny in Northern Ireland 🙄 better stay that way I agreed to work tomorrow 😅

Tropicana1 · 08/07/2022 20:33

All good here, although coming down with something got that scratchiest throat today.
@MamaSJ15 when is af due?

OP posts:
MamaSJ15 · 08/07/2022 22:15

@Tropicana1 if I'm back to a 28 day cycle then AF would be due Tuesday. Flo app says different but I think that's because I had funny cycles after the miscarriage. I'm going with Tuesday.

Tropicana1 · 09/07/2022 00:40

@MamaSJ15 ah still plenty of time to get a positive then! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hope everybody is enjoying the sun! ☀️ not much to report here..
Cycle day 26... no ovulation yet, who knows what's going on.
I tried the ziti west - inositol this cycle I wonder?
Staying as happy as I can trying not to think to much about it
Hope you all have a fab weekend x

MrsGrealish · 10/07/2022 14:01

Im very excited about the final at Wimbledon today! The men 😍

5dpo for me not that I'm actively trying but hoping cycles return to normal Xx

MrsGrealish · 10/07/2022 14:02

Maybe expect a user name change when this is over 😂

Tropicana1 · 10/07/2022 14:35

I'm simultaneously loving and hating the sunshine 😂 so British.
6dpo and not a lot going on. Know I'm going to start doing cheapies next week even though I'm pretty convinced I won't get pregnant this month with us missing peak bit a couple of days 🤦🏼‍♀️

MrsGrealish · 10/07/2022 15:53

@Tropicana1 lol my heart breaks for you. Cloudy here 🤣

It only takes once Xx

MamaSJ15 · 10/07/2022 19:46

@Tropicana1 🤣 I don't like the summer, I can't stand too much heat haha. I prefer spring or autumn myself!
CD27 for me. BFN on IC, not sure what to think, not felt anything over the last few days after a few days of feeling everything! AF due Tuesday I think so holding off now, fully expecting it to arrive

MamaSJ15 · 11/07/2022 19:08

AF has arrived today. So CD1 for me 👍

MrsGrealish · 11/07/2022 20:59

@MamaSJ15 sorry lovely..did u do OPKs? Did u ovulate early?

MamaSJ15 · 11/07/2022 21:01

@MrsGrealish I don't track, never have, just based on my symptoms but yes I think I did! It was a bit of a long shot with only DTD once anyway really!

MrsGrealish · 11/07/2022 21:28

@MamaSJ15 I ovulated 4 days later coz of miscarriage. Only did 4 OPKs the whole month and 2 were to track hcg. Ttc is madness

MamaSJ15 · 11/07/2022 22:20

@MrsGrealish odd isn't it how the cycle changes. I've been expecting AF to hit full force but it's been really slow, as in, I've only had a bit of brown so far, nothing major, since about 2ish today. I'm sure it'll hit properly tomorrow. Just what I want in this heat. I don't particularly like summer, I don't like the heat!
How are you feeling now?

MrsGrealish · 11/07/2022 22:41

@MamaSJ15 actually really good! Sore boobs which is normal for this part of my non pregnant cycle..I just wanna put ice packs in my bra 😂

My cycle had ovulation spotting literally first time ever was a bit like wtf is going on but post miscarriage I guess anything is normal

It's really cloudy but v warm here and the start of a bank holiday. I'm fair so burn way too easily 🙂

Long drawn out period is not cool. Your pregnancy test was negative? I dunno I felt like this was your month. My DD was an April baby and it's a lovely time to give birth so fx for next month xx

MamaSJ15 · 11/07/2022 23:02

@MrsGrealish good, I'm glad you're feeling better 😊 Im assuming all the things I was feeling was because of changes after miscarriage too.
Yeah did a test yesterday I think it was which was negative. I'll see how this progresses, if nothing comes of it I'll do another test but I'm not holding out much hope. My lower back has starting aching tonight which isn't a usual AF thing for me but I don't know what's normal anymore 🤣

MamaSJ15 · 12/07/2022 08:56

@MrsGrealish nothing so far... But AF wasn't due till today. I'd just assumed it was coming yesterday. Will update later 👍

MrsGrealish · 12/07/2022 09:04

@MamaSJ15 yes!! Keep me updated hope it stays away..

alwaysseeingstars · 12/07/2022 09:41

@MamaSJ15 fingers crossed it's not actually AF!

End of AF today so back to the ovulation waiting game 😂

@MrsGrealish how you feeling? 😊

MrsGrealish · 12/07/2022 11:12

@alwaysseeingstars I'm still feeling really good! Woke up in a pool of sweat last night and it's STILL not sunny 🙄 have to say the toddler having a meltdown outside my window at 8am helped my mood 😂

MrsGrealish · 12/07/2022 11:18

Decorating DDs room today so excited for that 😊 don't be scared to waste a test @MamaSJ15 🤞
