TTC chat thread 4

[Tropicana1]

New thread ladies as were nearly at 1000 and I don't want to lose you guys 😂

Reckon I'm out already this month. Getting all my normal TOTM cravings... sugar and salt. 😞

@Crazycatlady19 aww there is still hope! Don't give up until you have AF! Xxx

Cramps are back☹️ must be ovulation this time..

@Crazycatlady19 hopefully not out hun..see how u feel tomorrow. I could kill dead things with pms (and I don't hide it well🙈)

@MrsCristiano this made me laugh so much!

So I'm on CD15, been having ovulation pain yesterday and today and just had a load of EWCM which I don't usually get much of actually. OPK this morning was still pretty low but I'm guessing ovulation is on its way. Will do another test when I get home from work and see how DH feels tonight 👍
How's everyone doing today?

@MamaSJ15 how did the test go tonight? How are you today? Xx

@Alice1608 still low tonight. Im starting to wonder if this is why we've not had much luck conceiving yet, I never used to do OPK, I went off the ovulation pains I get but according to these tests, I get the pains days before I ovulate?! I must ovulate later in the cycle than I thought!

@MamaSJ15 it's all trial and error isn't it when understanding cycle, so confusing! Sorry you are unsure and its making you question stuff, that's the worst! Xx

@MamaSJ15 I dunno how I feel about OPKs now. You may have a really short peak not like the 3 day one I had 🙄 literally the only time I've successfully got pregnant was when I wasn't using them but I was so much younger. Premom says I'm on ovulation day but I'm not convinced. Think I'm at the start of the TWW 😩

@MrsCristiano I've just done another tonight and it's gone up a bit, I have a feeling it's gonna be a slow climb. Will see in the morning I guess. I didn't track at all when TTC my first but it also didn't take too long. After chemical and miscarriage it's thrown everything out of whack so this is why I'm trying to figure it all out. It seems we may have been missing ovulation, I just assumed the ovulation pains meant I was ovulating 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

@Alice1608 it's a bit frustrating really, but we'll figure it out hopefully haha!

@MrsCristiano premom currently says tomorrow is ovulation day but I guess it depends what the tests say. It was CD18 last cycle so who knows!

@MamaSJ15 I'm glad it's climbing. I read that lh surges at night and hits the urine at 6-8 hours later so best time to test is afternoon but who knows🤷‍♀️ it's defo not practical for working mums

@MrsCristiano definitely not, I'm off tomorrow but probably gonna be out most of the day so hopefully we'll both feel up to DTD tomorrow night 🤞

@MamaSJ15 enjoy your day 😊 I'm at work ☹️ but bank holiday weekend yay!

@MrsCristiano yay to bank holiday weekend!! 👍
Test still low this morning 🙄 will do another later 😂

@MamaSJ15 please don't worry that you haven't necessarily ovulated, I'd trust your body more than the tests! Mine must've been soo short to be missed completely!

@alwaysseeingstars the tests are very slowly getting darker and I've been feeling ovulation pain for the last 3 days!!

Ok ladies I've had cramps after DTD every time this month. I'm now thinking something is wrong. GP appointment if this cycle is unsuccessful. No bleeding just cramps that last for at least an hour.

@MrsCristiano that's very strange. Have you any idea what could be causing it?

@MamaSJ15 NO!! Maybe the scanner thing had germs on it, maybe it's pelvic inflammation disease or maybe it's a massive orgasm (unlikely tbh) 😂

@MrsCristiano 😂😂😂 if only!
Maybe worth getting some advice from a doctor then!
Woop DTD this evening so hopefully covered if ovulation eventually occurs (hoping tomorrow).
Also, meeting with a landlord tomorrow for a potential rental property that we've been to view 🤞🤞

@MrsCristiano I have had this at times! This month I've had quite a bit of queasiness which has been odd. Could there be a cause like DTD a lot 🤣, is it across the whole month or just recent days? Could it be ovulation?

@MamaSJ15 oh fingers crossed for the viewing xx let us know how u get on 😊

@canonlyhopexo we really only started DTD last Sunday and that's when it lasted 10 seconds😂..but every time since that including tonight and I think I'm just past ovulation..will take an OPK tomorrow to be sure. I feel a bit sick too but I'm not eating really anything atm. Bloody stress 🙄

Are any of the not pregnant ladies due to test soon? Xx

@MamaSJ15 reread your message and you have viewed 😊 hope the landlord isn't a dick xx

@MrsCristiano to be fair they've been really good so far. We were cheeky and knew that the tenant was moving out so one day we noticed work was being done in the house and knocked on the door, they let us go in and take a look around (even though it was totally stripped and looked a mess!), Then they contacted us when it was more ready for a proper viewing which we did yesterday. They were getting a valuation for a rental amount and we told them the max we could afford (knowing how high rentals are at the moment!) He messaged last night to say they've have it valued and it's higher than what we said we could afford but they want to have a discussion to get to a figure that would work for us. Fingers crossed 🤞 meeting them tomorrow.
Sorry, totally not anything to do with TTC there haha.
We seem to be at a similar point in our cycles dont we?
