Hi all! As the title suggests, I have set this up as a space for those of us who are TTC and in that long wait between ovulation and when AF is due!
So, to kick us off... I have been TTC #2 since November. Had one chemical in that time and now well into the TWW with AF due on Tuesday! After spending a lot of money on early tests / having the disappointment of a chemical I am now avoiding early testing and will instead wait until AF is late, but zero judgement on anyone who likes to test early - I totally get the urge!

Look forward to hearing from others who are also on their TTC journey!

Hey ladies. How you all doing?
@Jennifer89 good luck to you too hun. Really hope you get your BFP soon.
@Ted0503 hows your temp today?
@Kirstyddd did you test again today? Could still be early either dpo.
@peaky297 I’m doing good thanks lovely. Still confused about when/if ovulations happened but what’s new 😂 what CD you on now? @Angelselevenx how you feeling today? Any more spotting?
@sashastuck how are you doing?

Angelselevenx · 03/04/2023 21:12

@GemLou88 I'm okay thank you, the bloat and tiredness is real and I'm 13dpo/4weeks 6 days today. Spotting is still happening, I have a midwife friend who I've showed it to and she isn't concerned but said to ring the EPU just to see if they'll get me in for a scan anyway. Brown blood isn't too much to worry about apparently! I took a digital this morning too and it confirmed pregnant, going to do the how many weeks digital tomorrow to see how it progresses rather than obsessing over dye lines!

Sorry essay 🥲 how are you doing? Xx

Ted0503 · 03/04/2023 21:20

@GemLou88 thanks for asking, Temp dropped this morning and have had the usual symptoms at this time of my cycle, I couldn't stop myself and did a test and BFN. AF due tomorrow. Pretty gutted TBH 😞. Will have to see what the drs say after this months blood tests.

GemLou88 · 03/04/2023 21:21

@Angelselevenx definitely call your EPU to get a scan for peace of mind. My friend had a baby a few weeks ago and for the first 6-7 weeks of her pregnancy she was bleeding. She ended up in A&E thinking she was having a miscarriage but she has a healthy baby girl now. They will scan you and it might be too early to see anything, but will book you in again for 2 weeks time to see progression. Definitely worth doing.
Im ok. Temp hasn’t detected O yet and I don’t think we have dtd enough for this cycle. So I’m hoping that keeps me pretty chilled out until AF arrives x

GemLou88 · 03/04/2023 21:24

@Ted0503 are you 10dpo? If so don’t count yourself out just yet. It could be a triphasic shift? I haven’t been bbt long enough yet but it could be x

Angelselevenx · 03/04/2023 21:26

@GemLou88 yeah I've given them a call, they should ring back tomorrow and hopefully get me in. It's so common but when it happens to you, you just automatically think the worst! We're all our own worst enemies 🤣.

It only takes once remember! I've got my fingers crossed for you anyway xx

Ted0503 · 03/04/2023 22:08

@GemLou88 yeah 10 dpo, I don’t know you know when you have a feeling? We will see. But it’s good to see the temp results and still keep tracking even if it doesn’t happen this month! @Angelselevenx hope everything goes ok for you!

Kirstyddd · 03/04/2023 22:17

@GemLou88 nothing today, hoping it’s still to early but going with the I’m out,

I have ordered my Ovulation strips today

Jennifer89 · 03/04/2023 23:12

@GemLou88 I am doing better thank you, trying to keep positive about this month and trying again. Got some time off from work this week and nice things planned to look forward to. Definitely helps to keep busy..
Thank you, hope you get good news soon too 😊. X

GemLou88 · 04/04/2023 08:25

Still haven’t had ovulation confirmed through bbt on my app. I’m on CD26 now. Have no idea what’s going on but I think I have ovulated. Any ideas anyone?

sashastuck · 04/04/2023 10:07

@GemLou88 pretty certain I’m out, thanks for asking! RHR dropped some more this morning and AF due today. Took it pretty hard and cried my eyes out upon waking up 😅 I haven’t done BBT for a while (used to use Natural Cycles as contraception) so I’m not sure of your graph but sending love and luck! X

Ted0503 · 04/04/2023 10:12

@GemLou88 its my first month tracking bbt so I’m by no means any expert but maybe ovulation on CD 16?

Kirstyddd · 04/04/2023 10:42

Getting very light cramping today assuming it mu AF starting,

@GemLou88 i haven’t tested today as I felt it pointless

RegardingPersephone · 04/04/2023 10:45

1dpo now and the wait begins!

sashastuck · 04/04/2023 11:37

@Ted0503 after looking again I agree with you, think it’s meant to drop then rise for 3 days! Which yours has @GemLou88 !

GemLou88 · 04/04/2023 11:50

@sashastuck @Ted0503 i did think I could have on CD16 too, but I got a peak on my clear blue digits ovulation test on CD22 🤷‍♀️ would be great if ovulation happened on cd16 as I’d be 10dpo and wouldn’t have to wait too long for AF. Hate this constant guessing game. Thanks for looking ladies.
Hope you’re feeling better @sashastuck its such an emotional rollercoaster. Have you been trying for long?
@Kirstyddd hope it’s not AF. Sending hugs
@RegardingPersephone hope the tww doesn’t drag for you. Wishing you lots of luck
@Angelselevenx let me know what the EPU say xx

Angelselevenx · 04/04/2023 11:51

@GemLou88 thanks hun, EPU werent concerned at this stage as it came when my period was due and it's brown/not heavy. Said to keep an eye on it and they'll scan me next week when I hit 6 weeks as they wouldn't be able to see anything yet. Going to try to stop worrying as I know it's so common and just hope for the best xx

Kirstyddd · 04/04/2023 11:56

@GemLou88 had a bit of cramping last night too but there is nothing yet, during it couldn’t be implication this late on

sashastuck · 04/04/2023 15:03

Does anyone check their cervix? (Can you tell I’m clutching at straws here lol)
Just checked mine and defo feels high, soft, wet. But then again, I don’t think I’ve ever felt it ‘hard’ before (probs checked 5 times in my life). Think there’s anything in that?

@Kirstyddd you never know! ❤

GemLou88 · 05/04/2023 12:06

Hey Ladies. How are you all getting on?
@sashastuck I check my cervix during my cycle. Think you’re looking for it to be high, soft and closed or partially closed. But sometimes mine can stay high until the day before AF.
Just checked mine and it’s super high, soft and closed, can’t remember it ever being that high.
I’m still unsure of when or if I have ovulated. I’m going to take it I ovulated on the 1st as I got a static smiley on the clear blue on the 31st. I’ll wait another week to see if AF arrives as I’ve been driving myself crazy testing with OPK’s and pg tests.

Angelselevenx · 05/04/2023 12:18

@GemLou88 just wanted to let you know I had a chemical pregnancy, EPU scanned me this morning and couldn't find anything xx

GemLou88 · 05/04/2023 16:36

Oh @Angelselevenx I’m so sorry lovely. I hope you’re looking after yourself. Sending lots of love xx

RegardingPersephone · 05/04/2023 16:52

2po now and still have quite a lot of cramping which is unusual for me. Trying not to read into it 😅 far too early!

sashastuck · 06/04/2023 09:26

So sorry to hear that @Angelselevenx ❤Take care of yourself x

AF came a day late for me. Here we go again

RegardingPersephone · 06/04/2023 09:40

@Angelselevenx So sorry to hear that 😔 Look after yourself xx
