TTC again end of Feb beginning of March

[Ks2023]

Hi. We been TTC for some time already and no luck. Just waiting now AF arrive any time tomorrow or day after and then we will try again. Anyone would like to join this group and we well do it all together as it’s so hard and mentally stressful and my husband don’t understand why I’m stressing so much that sooner or later it will happen (I wish it’s so easy) may be someone have tips 😆 I just need some support for the next 4 weeks of OPK checking, BBT, charting ect

@Ks2023 try and stay positive. Keep us posted on Monday.

I thought I had a period when I was pregnant with my daughter. I didn’t test until 1-2 weeks later when I experienced horrendous nausea and sickness along with aching boobs. I bled on and off throughout my pregnancy with her. My waters starting leaking at 23 weeks and had suspected preeclampsia. Safe to say I am not very good at this whole pregnancy malarkey 🙈

Any sort of bleeding doesn’t seem to determine anything with me 🤦🏼‍♀️. I have bled in my one successfully pregnancy and all four losses too. It’s the sickness that is usually the indicator rather than the missed period 🙃

Hi Ladies 👋🏼 can I join please. The support and chat of others feelings and going through the same is a great help.
Second miscarriage early February (was 7 weeks 😢) got my clear blue smiley man today and not long ago DTD 😁 third time this week - absolutely desperate for this baby so trying straight away as it took me 7 months to get pregnant again and time really isn't on my side. Baby dust to all of you🤞🏼💞

Hi,

I still haven’t got a positive OPK yet, I’m on CD15 and properly overthinking it. Any had later/not ovulated after a miscarriage? It’s my first cycle since the surgical management. Using the clear blue pink tests, so only seen a static circle so far.

Thanks 😊

@Beckyc23 similar situation- I had my first smiley yesterday at CD16, keep trying it'll come 🤞🏼💐

Hi everyone. I’ll jump on this thread.

Cycle #2 TTC #1. Currently CD17 and I think I have ovulated today. I had 7 days of flashing smileys and on the 7th day in the afternoon, I got my static. We managed to DTD CD’s 10, 12, 15 and 16, so hopefully that’s enough!

AF due 11th of March, so now the TWW begins!

Anyone else in the TWW?

@Infinitebows thank you! It’s so hard to be patient. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

@LittleMiss2023 - hopefully be joining the TWW soon 😊

Morning ladies! Hope you are all ok? I'm on day 9 (CD20) of the flashy smile face man! So upset and worried that maybe I've missed peak (but I've been testing at least twice if not 3 times a day during this peak). Or worried that I'm not ovulating at all, but that wouldn't explain EWCM (yesterday), temp rising on BBT (this morning).. arrggggghhhh I'm driving myself mad! Xxx

Morning! Sorry to hear that you still haven't had your peak. Mine hasn't risen either, I'm CD15. I'm worried I missed mine as I had 0.5 on CD11 but didn't test before that. We did cover those dates but I wasn't happy with them 🤣 went straight for a wee etc. Ugh! I haven't even tested today yet because deep down I know it'll still be low x

Aww @madeofcodes I feel you, I really do! I'm hoping that our peaks are coming for us too! I reckon yours will be in a few days as its normally between cd14-cd17 on average? Fingers crossed for you! Try monitoring your CM too.. see if you can see positive changes there? That could give you the clarity you need that it will rise soon? I am thinking of you and sending you hugs right now xxxx

@Floralsandsmiles you are so kind! Here's to ovulating late 👏😅 I did a test and it came up as 0.2 I'm hoping my egg gets off her lazy ass soon. Last month I didn't notice any ewcm and so far I've had none this month. I didn't even know ewcm was a thing until Mumsnet so I've never paid any attention and if I ever had any discharge I just thought it was normal discharge 🤷🏻‍♀️ did you get a slight rise after your period at all? X

@madeofcodes to be honest, I noticed from a young age that there was a certain time of the month that my CM was EWCM and stringy and it wasn't till mum's net I looked into it and realised that was connected to ovulation.
A slight rise? You mean in temp or CM?
I will be honest, this is my first month monitoring my LH levels and BBT and wish I didn't as I'm more confused than ever about my cycle and its got me questioning so much! Like am I ovulating? Do I have a cycle without it? If I don't ovulate soon, will I have a long enough Luteal phase and therefore be able to even support a pregnancy.. my anxiety is through the roof and I'm really worrying.. so information and knowledge isn't always the best thing for us.. Well for me anyways, it would seem.. xxx

Hey all, in the same boat really with no rise yet to speak of, day 15. It was 0.23 last night and 0.21 this morning xxx

Hi @Chip131! I'm sorry hun! 😞 I feel your pain! Xxx

0.34 now! Xxx

Well I'm very confused, used a LH test for the first time on CD8, thought way too early as tracker suggests I ovulate day 17 but apparently its ratio is 0.5. Should it be that high already?!

Hi. I had an early loss last cycle. Due to my partners work, he will be away when I'm ovulating next, and possibly for many more ovulation dates. Im due to ovulate a few days after he leaves..so I'm wondering if It would be a good idea to take the morning after pill before I ovulate, as it delays ovulation for at about five days ...then we will be able to try this cycle. I've looked it up and can't find anyone talking about doing it for that purpose, but it's safe and doesn't affect fertility . Delaying ovulation is how it works. Feeling desperate and just really want to use every opportunity I have to ttc as soon as possible 🙏

Edit: I meant that i'll ovulate a few days BEFORE he's home

@LittleMiss2023 I'm the same as you 😊 cycle 2 TTC#1 and AF due 11/12th March...let's hope for a quick 2 weeks!
I don't feel like this is our cycle tbh, DP wasn't well so we only DTD CD13 and CD16 (ovulated CD17) so I know we're not out but really really trying not to get my hopes up and no early testing for me!

Getting there... I think!! Going dtd the next few days i think in hope that it will peak soon! Xxx

Wahoo! Looks like it's rising nicely for you! 🙏

I did a test this morning and it was 0.08. I think I'm out - CD16 today and no sign of a rise. If I ovulated, it would've been an early one 😫

Can I ask a potentially very stupid question? When do you guys count CD1 from? The day you start spotting/muddy (sorry about that) or the day you start full flow?

If it's the first option I think I've calculated my dates wrong 😅

I think its from full flow! Xxx

Hi @Kate33ttc

I've not heard of that before with delaying ovulation but just in case you can DTD literally just before he leaves I would as I had a long conversation (about infertility, ttc ...) with my doctor and midwife last week and they both told me that sperm lives up to 7 days, I always thought it was 3 - 4 but either way you would possibly be covered. Good luck xx

Cycle buddies!

Yeah now we wait! Hopefully can keep ourselves busy while we wait. I say I’ll try and wait to test, but it’ll get to around 9DPO and I’ll have an urge 😂 But I’ve got a family holiday that weekend - so not sure how I’d go keeping it quiet for a whole weekend around them!

Omg I calculated from the day of spotting and it was 9 days for me! When normally it's about 4- days.. I could have calculated my whole cycle wrong!!! So I may not be on CD21, I may be CD15!! And still be in for a shot for the LH levels to rise and O to happen?? Xxxx

Finally got a high score😂feel like crying... Wish I wasnt in work though as I have things to do😂xx
