Hi all,

I'm new here and looking for my cycle buddies.

Currently CD24, 8 DPO. I'm in my TWW and the wait is killing me! Tested with FMU today and BFN. Although I convinced myself I saw a shadow, I think it's probably my line eyes lol.

I miscarried my first pregnancy 23/08 at 4w2d ( CP )Sad

Praying for my BFP this monthHalo

Anybody else in the same boat??

@TTC2022newbie Thank you my love💕 I'm sort of relieved AF has showed herself now! It feels like last months CP chapter is finally closed now.

Ready for a new month of TTC🤞🏼 Hope to see some strong BFPs from you lot this month x

Morning all - quick update from me

CD8 and normally ovulate around CD15/16 however CB advanced digital OPK showed high fertility today so I think we'll DTF every other day until the weekend and then every day the days before my predicted ovulation.

Anyone else get a lot of high fertility days with CB? I'm a bit confused as it says that it'll identify the four best days so that would be quite early for me

@ttcbaby12023 sorry to hear that! How you feeling? 💕

TTC2022newbie · 27/09/2022 16:51

Hey, little update from me this evening.
I've had some shoulder pain today and my UTI still doesn't seem to have shifted so I contacted the doctor this afternoon.

She's now worried (or worried me at least) about the shoulder pain potentially being ectopic pregnancy but don't currently have any other pain or bleeding.

She asked me to do a pregnancy test which was negative and to keep an eye on all my symptoms, if they get worse call 111 or go straight to A&E!! 😟😟

Now I'm just really worried.

She's given me 3 day antibiotics course for UTI too to get rid of it.

Any thoughts or experience with an ectopic pregnancy?

Mariabombia · 27/09/2022 17:33

Hope you're okay @TTC2022newbie !! I've not had any personal experience with ectopic but shoulder pain could be due to other things too. Have you missed an af? Any symptoms you might be pregnant?

TTC2022newbie · 27/09/2022 17:46

No other symptoms of being pregnant and I just did a test which was negative.
I had a period three weeks ago! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Panda0 · 27/09/2022 18:59

@ttcbaby12023 sorry to hear AF arrived. Good luck for this month! It’s sort of nice to have the hope of a new cycle isn’t it.

@TTC2022newbie hopefully the antibiotics will do the trick and it’s nothing more serious!

I have had positive OPKs today at 1pm and again at 6 so hopefully looking like ovulation tomorrow on CD14. We have DTD on 6, 11 and 13 so far. Haven’t told DP that I am tracking so trying to initiate DTD over fertile time without him clocking on! Will see what I can do tomorrow and next day and then on to TWW again 🤞

RJS20 · 27/09/2022 19:10

@TTC2022newbie hope you are ok. Hopefully it’s not EP but let us know how you get on 💕

Has anyone ever experience EW CM after ovulation. I had my peak on Friday so assumed I ovulated over the weekend but I’m now having EW CM. So I’m wondering whether the OPK was wrong or what? Thoughts?

TIA xx

RJS20 · 27/09/2022 20:17

Okay so little update - I did an OPK and got another static smiley, does that mean I’m still ovulating? I’m so confused…

Nypie · 27/09/2022 23:01

@ttcbaby12023 so sorry you wwnt through all that uncertainly! Fingers crossed this new cycle is a lucky one for you

TTC2022newbie · 28/09/2022 13:24

Hey everyone, I can't keep up now. There is so many of us!! 🤦🏼‍♀️🙂

Feeling much better today 🙂 shoulder pain has pretty much gone and antibiotics starting to work 🙂

I got my nails done last night and the lady who does them used to be a midwife and worked at a fertility clinic.

We talked about the test you can get at a private fertility clinics and she said it is really good. So something to think about if nothing happens.

We also talked about OPKs as I'm not currently using them because I'm fairly convinced when I ovulate, however the wait after ovulation and until AF is not necessary always 2 weeks so I might be ovulating at a different time... I didn't know that!

Interest and I might invest in OPKs.
I did a test this morning and was negative to rule out ectopic pregnancy but now I don't know if that means I'm out this month now!! I'm roughly 7/8 DPO I think but probably still early.

Also are we all aware that lube can act as a barrier for the sperm so don't just use the normal one!

TTC2022newbie · 28/09/2022 13:27

I'm not sure I'm ready for the world of OPKs.

They just sound so confused.

I just want to DTD every other day for a whole cycle but it just never seems to happen!

Think I might just ride out without OPKs until Jan and just DTD every other or every day 🤣😅

ttcbaby12023 · 28/09/2022 18:11

Hi ladies!

Hope everyone is getting on okay. Thanks so much for asking ladies, I'm okay. I stupidly tested after AF started and of course a faint line popped up instantly. So I've only gone and broke my own heart🤦‍♀️

This flow has been non stop! Extreme pain yesterday which has eased up today thank god. I'm soaking through everything I'm wearing, my AF would be quite heavy on a normal cycle, but this is even heavier than CP last month so I am a little concerned.

@TTC2022newbie glad to hear antibiotics are kicking in and your feeling better💕

How's everyone feeling so far? Anyone far into the TWW symptom spotting?

Cant wait to try again, just want this bleeding to stop so I can BD my heart away🤭

OP posts:
Nellybelly03 · 28/09/2022 18:20

Now 5 days late and no sign of AF.
BFN 2 days ago , not sure if I should bother to keep testing or not🤷🏼‍♀️

ttcbaby12023 · 28/09/2022 19:15

@Nellybelly03 fingers crossed for you🤞🏼 Definitely test in a couple of days if AF still hasn't showed x

Afternoon TTC Team.

How is everyone feeling?

I am now in the TWW, pretty sure I’ve ovulated and the Hubby is away with work until Sunday 😢 so it’s now the waiting game.

xx

Firsttimetrying2022 · 29/09/2022 14:15

@RJS20 just starting fertile window - already dreading the TWW 🥲

Trying to do everything we can over the next few days and then hopefully just let it go for two weeks 🤞🤞

Iwillstayhopeful · 29/09/2022 15:07

Hi everyone, I'm new here. Hope I can join in! Just came on my period today :( and to top it off, I have bad pains@. I was sure that I was pregnant as my boobs ballooned drastically. So annoying that PMS symptoms are similar to early pregnancy ones. I'm going to try SMEP next month. 🙏

Fluffster99 · 29/09/2022 15:10

@RJS20 fingers crossed for you.

CD6 for me so it feels like ages to wait.

will start OPK testing I think from today. 🤞

ttcbaby12023 · 29/09/2022 16:13

@Iwillstayhopeful welcome!💕

All are welcome to join, I'm so sorry to hear that, I hope the pain eases soon. I'm currently on AF too.

Fingers crossed for next cycle!

@RJS20 eek fingers crossed, can't wait to see BFP's xx

Nypie · 29/09/2022 22:30

@RJS20 I'm also in TWW wasn't sure as my temps were slower to rise then usual but had quite the peak this morning so I'm going to claim it.

Midnight00 · 30/09/2022 07:09

I'm waiting for my temp to rise to see if I've ovulated, it's taking a while as I'm on CD13 today. Expect it's going to take a few months to ovulate after pill. @Nypie what cycle day did you ovulate?

Nypie · 30/09/2022 15:33

Hey @Midnight00 are your cycles usually quite short cause cd13 is still early to ovulate, "typical" is cd14.
When I came off the pill I was ovulating cd17 for a while but its normal for it to take a while to regulate or not see signs of ovulation for a few months if your worried you can go to drs. Do you do opks as well? I usually ovulate cd15 but 3 apps are predicted cd13, 14 or 15...yes I have 3 apps 😂😂 heres two on my charts
