Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

@Pitstop1986 yes-ish… I’ve been doing opks as I know they indicate a possible positive if the levels rise but they’re still super low. Strangely it’s much less disappointing than doing an actual hcg test (and cheaper!) and has stopped my getting my hopes up.

I’ve also had thrush (sorry, tmi?) this month and can’t seem to completely clear it so I’ve treated twice for that as well as not being in the mood so all in all… not my month.

But no point moping… onwards and upwards, right?

Mrsrobinsonx · 07/03/2023 20:15

@Pitstop1986 yes I’m trying to!
AF isn’t due until Monday so it’s a long wait 😬 I may cave before then but I hope not 🤣

Pitstop1986 · 10/03/2023 20:43

How's everyone doing?

@Downtherabbithole83 @Mrsrobinsonx any news?

Downtherabbithole83 · 10/03/2023 20:51

AF due tomorrow - took a test today (already expecting negative) as wanted to take some medication that wouldn’t have been suitable if I was preggo and got a bfn as expected. Sad for a second but pleased to take the medication 🤷‍♀️

On to next month for me. Disappointing after last month’s chemical but no point dwelling on it. Hope everyone else is okay.

Mrsrobinsonx · 10/03/2023 20:55

I caved and tested today at 12dpo….
I think I got my bfp 😭 although after the chemicals I’m very wary, but I have a good feeling about this 🤞🏻

ahhh I’m sorry 🥺 I hope next month is a better outcome @Downtherabbithole83

how are you @Pitstop1986 ?

Pitstop1986 · 10/03/2023 21:02

Aaaahhhhh! @Mrsrobinsonx congratulations!!!! That's fantastic news! I am thrilled for you! Let's hope that line carries on getting darker and you have a healthy, happy pregnancy!

My EWCM has gone awol again... I should have ovulated yesterday, but no sign of it on ovulation tests or with my CM... I have no idea what's going on with me! I've started taking a couple of new supplements and cut out junk, but these should have had a positive impact on my fertility, not messed up my cycle! I'm trying to be relaxed, as stress isn't going to help anything, buy I'm getting quite worked up and spending my time googling what's going on/things to help fertility, etc...

I have a 12 hour shift at work tomorrow, so at least that's a day that I won't be obsessing over my failing reproductive organs! Haha

Downtherabbithole83 · 10/03/2023 21:20

That’s super news @Mrsrobinsonx - more and more BFPs for our little starting group.

Sorry to hear your cycle has been nuts @Pitstop1986 . Why can’t our bodies just be straightforward?

30mummy · 14/03/2023 07:57

Congratulations @Mrsrobinsonx.. How are you?

Pitstop1986 · 14/03/2023 09:55

I've got some lovely ewcm going on! Looks like I'm due to ovulate! Unfortunately rubbish timing as me a DH are in bed with covid. He can't even roll over without feeling sick, so a BD is out of the question! Might not be my month this month either!

Mrsrobinsonx · 14/03/2023 11:02

@30mummy Thank you!
I’m ok, so far I just have slight nausea/acid reflux and really tired 😴 just generally feeling a bit off but will take this before it gets worse 😅 did my first digital yesterday and got 2-3 so looking good I think! How are you?

@Pitstop1986 oh no! I hope you both feel a little better before ovulation, maybe you can do the spooning position so neither of you move much 🤣

30mummy · 14/03/2023 11:07

@Mrsrobinsonx ahh really? I had a really bad week last week (i do have a UTI too, but on antibiotics now) I'm 5 weeks today and i don't really feel anything, My boobs are still a bit tender but that's honestly it. I have been having a little bit of Nausea but mainly when I get in bed to sleep. I got a 3+ on clearblue today but it still doesn't feel real.

@Pitstop1986 Awww sorry to hear that! Hopefully you both perk up a little bit!

Pitstop1986 · 16/03/2023 09:13

Pretty sure that I ovulated yesterday, although ran out of test strips on Tuesday (typical!) so I'm going off cervical mucus changing from ewcm mon- yesterday to sticky today and left lower abdominal pains yesterday...

We dtd on Sunday, but not since, as DH is dying of Covid and can't possibly move or do anything.

Do I still have a chance dtd 3 days before ovulation?

30mummy · 16/03/2023 10:35

@Pitstop1986 Yes definitely! The sperm can stay up to 5 days.. :)

Pitstop1986 · 16/03/2023 11:14

Looks like driving myself mad by symptom spotting is set to ignite again over the next two weeks then! @30mummy haha

Pitstop1986 · 17/03/2023 20:35

I have had ewcm again today, not quite sure what's going on! It changed from ew to sticky yesterday, then back to ew today and lots of it! My cycles are really trying to drive me insane recently. They're long and very unpredictable!

At least we dtd last night, so if I'm ovulating now, I'm covered. It could of course just be a bit of random mucus... I've heard of women getting ewcm after they ovulate. Bodies are strange!

SimplyChic · 20/03/2023 21:09

Hi everyone, haven't posted for a while.

I have finally had tests done at the doctors and they said potentially PCOS, as my testosterone was slightly high, but in the same breath said that it could be a fluke as hormones fluctuate and that my body may still be trying to get normal cycles following the pill, and that the testosterone shouldn't effect my fertility and if the same results occur, while also needing other problems like weight gain, cysts etc along to confirm diagnosis if still the same.

I can get an ultrasound done to look at cysts, however, they have never found anything in previous ultrasounds (latest last year for urine infections, they still looked at ovaries etc), so I'm not really any closer to understanding, that spotting did turn into AF in the end, now waiting for the next one but now on day 32 so we will see.

They said I could also have Stage 2 Kidney Disease as the function appeared low for my age group, GP also said it could be potentially due to dehydration and need to test my urine for proteins.

She has said to get the abnormal test results done again in 3 months time, and in the meantime will test my urine for the kidney issues, and also said I may just need to "try harder" to get pregnant, whatever that means due to sparse ovulation.

Did another test a few days back and was negative but have had weird cramps and today a random speck of blood and nothing further, so all just another waiting game 😔

Pitstop1986 · 21/03/2023 12:12

@SimplyChic sorry to hear that you've got all of this going on. TTC is hard enough without extra hurdles and obstacles to overcome. Keep doing ovulation tests and look out for signs of ovulation, plus make sure that your diet is as healthy as it can be, drink plenty of water, etc. There's a few tablets that you can take to help fertility if pcos is diagnosed. Sending love and lots of baby dust

Pitstop1986 · 31/03/2023 08:29

RegardingPersephone · 06/04/2023 22:50

@cdn298 mine are normally SUPER faint too and then I get a pretty steep rise over a day/two. Yours looks like it is rising but everyone is different. Test about 10am and then later on in the afternoon/evening so you don't miss it! Normally after mine looks like that it develops into a peak then goes back down to nothing after a couple of days.

Pitstop1986 · 07/04/2023 09:41

Happy baby making! @cdn298 fingers crossed that this is your month!
