Hey, jumping on board.
Age 35, TTC #2 Cycle #4
I'm on CD17. Think I am 2DPO.I have cycles anywhere from 28-34 days. My app says I'm not due to ovulate until this Sat 4th. But from my symptoms I'm pretty sure I ovulated 2 days ago. Pain in tummy, EWCM etc ... I don't do OPKs or temps etc ... were just going with a very relaxed approach atm. DTD throughout the month and hoping it will catch at some point.This worked for conceiving DS who is now nearly 3. We have decided this is our last month TTC for now. (Other commitments throughout Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb) If doesn't work will start TTC again in July time but then with the OPKs etc...Good luck everyone 🤞 xx

Hey @afiafinethingindeed how you getting on? X

afinethingindeed · 06/02/2023 08:29

Hey @Betsy21 thanks for checking in.. I am doing OK. Driving myself crazy with anxiety. I don't have any symptoms and I made the mistake of doing another test - the line wasn't as dark as I'd have liked to see. So I'm convinced this isn't going to stick 😬 😞

With DD, I only tested once and that was it. I didn't even know that people tested for line progression then. Still, I'm only 4+3 so it's very early days.
How are you? Where are you in your cycle now?

Oh I can't imagine how you feel! Hoping you get the best outcome 🙏 yeah you'd think because it's two lines that'd be enough but I think we become obsessive. Yeah im ok thanks, I'm CD11 so just started tracking OPKs from yesterday. Hoping this will be the month for us 🙂

afinethingindeed · 06/02/2023 19:54

@Betsy21 thank you! I feel like there's so many hurdles to get over before I can sort of relax. And you're right - we become so obsessive. I know it's not helpful but can't stop it anyway.

Ahh let me know how you get on. I've got everything crossed for you!

Been following for a while.

We've decided to do an all inclusive 5* hol in April so my plan was when my period came on Tuesday I'd start taking the pill again for a couple of months so I could enjoy the luxury hol. I miscarried in December.

Took a test this morning. Now not so sure period will come. Or is it a evap?

Hey @ttcttc it's hard to tell - did you manage to do another test this morning?

ttcttc · 12/02/2023 12:55

Yea done another yest which was darker and two today that was lighter but there again.
I'm going to grab some better tests

afinethingindeed · 12/02/2023 13:44

@ttcttc that's exciting! Let me know how you get on. Do you know how many DPO you are now?
Sorry to hear about your previous mc by the way 😞

Thanks @ttcttc 🤞🏼 had day 21 bloods yesterday and just waiting to hear back - kinda wishing AF doesn’t turn up so I don’t have to do day 2 bloods again 😂

Morticia31 · 16/02/2023 15:07

Good luck with the bloods @AL1424
hopefully it doesn’t turn up tho 🤞🏼

I’ve got a pretty positive ovulation test today (we’ll I assume it is😅) so hoping we’ve timed it right this month & will keep going for a few days anyway 😂

attached a picture just to see what you think the line came up instantly never had one this dark before?

Thanks @Morticia31 - already googled my result as I’ve seen it online and looking positive so far and that I’ve ovulated but will obvs wait to hear the official results from the doctor - its so hard not to google and spiral!!

that looks pretty positive to me 🤩

Morticia31 · 18/02/2023 01:29

@AL1424 im soo glad they are looking positive ! It really is hard not to google & spiral I had some spotting last month & immediately convinced myself it was menopause, I’m 31 🤦🏻‍♀️!!!
just had a few sad days thinking it would never happen then got back to trying & feeling pretty good about this month but also nervous incase of another negative BUT it’ll be worth it in the end ..
do you have any plans for the weekend ?anyone?

OP posts:
AL1424 · 18/02/2023 10:03

@Morticia31 yep! Got my cervical smear result back yesterday (6 week backlog!!) and they’ve asked for a further investigation which made me burst into tears - v hormonal and emotional at the moment 😂 I’m sure it’s fine and I know it’s really common but I’m very touchy I think at the moment with all this PCOS, TTC and smear test etc. I have the same sad days thinking it’ll never happen for me why am I not normal etc, peaks and troughs! But We will get there 🙌🏼

went out for dinner last night which was nice to unwind from the week from hell and just chilling the rest of it what about you? Xx
