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

AF due tomorrow so I did a FRER this morning as I was stupidly symptom spotting but got a bfn. Feeling a bit down. Guess it’s only 2nd month of trying since MMC and this was the first cycle since but just feeling deflated.

@NoodleQueen90 - I completely understand, but it’s so hard to prepare for something that you’re not sure when it will happen, plan in the moment and you can always amend plans when it does happens 😊🤞🏼

Beckyc23 · 11/03/2023 08:58

@NoodleQueen90 - I have to keep telling myself that btw 🤣

How is everyone?

I am 11dpo, cycle day 27. Last four cycles 30-32 days but have known to be 27-32 days a. Backache today and extremely tired but haven’t been sleeping well.

Mushroo · 13/03/2023 17:37

@B93 alright! I’ve purposely not tracked this cycle and just DTD every other day, but think I’m roughly about 4dpo. Feel completely normal and trying not to symptom spot.

Are you planning to test soon?

tdeall · 13/03/2023 17:53

Hi everyone!

I'm 6 dpo and have been feeling sick over the past couple days. Do you think I'm imagining it or can you get symptoms this early? Hoping you all get your positives soon ❤️

B93 · 13/03/2023 18:31

@Mushroo I have done temperature monitoring. Not done ovulation tests. I have just started spotting. Which probably means AF will arrive in the next few days 😭

I was planning to hold out until Sunday to test with my varying cycles. Although probably won’t need to now 🤷🏼‍♀️ I do spot a day or two before starting AF xx

Mushroo · 13/03/2023 22:44

@B93 ah how disappointing. You’re not completely out until AF arrives so I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.

@tdeall i think it’s probably too early, but I completely emphasise, i convince myself I feel slightly nauseous most days!

tdeall · 14/03/2023 14:45

@Mushroo It's hard isn't it... trying not to get my hopes up too much. I want to do an early test but don't want to do it too soon. If it's not this month then baby's EDD would be around christmas!
Are you planning to test early or wait it out? Hope you get a BFP soon.

B93 · 14/03/2023 16:05

@Mushroo thank you. Spotting stopped but looking back that isn’t unusual for me either. Trying not to get my hopes up.

When do you plan to test?

Mushroo · 14/03/2023 17:15

I’m planning to hold out as long as possible (easier said than done) but maybe next weds. I want to avoid Mother’s Day as I’ll just be sad if it’s negative.

@tdeall i think mine would be early Jan if not this month, which is objectively an awful birthday, but think I’ll crack on anyway!

Is anyone taking a break or happy with a Dec / Jan bday?

tdeall · 14/03/2023 18:10

Yes I feel the same as you about avoiding mothers day. I think I will go for this friday. My period is due monday so not too early.

One of my family members has an early Jan birthday and its never bothered him at all! Go for it. I would be happy with a Jan date personally.

I'm not sure whether to take a break or not in Dec. My first was conceived the first month of trying but we have been trying for 4 months now and nothing so far.

That’s reassuring about January!

Id probably carry on for Dec if I were you, the only rubbish day really would be Xmas day, so overall a reasonably low chance of that happening.

Just want next week to arrive now so I know either way!

B93 · 15/03/2023 06:44

I have had the worst backache since Sunday/Monday as if AF is going to arrive. I usually get backache and cramps as I am starting and then it eases off - can usually pinpoint the exact moment I start. Spotting on Monday, nothing since. Last two nights I have been having night sweats - not sure why. Trying not to symptom spot, I know AF could arrive any moment 😬

Mushroo · 15/03/2023 09:34

@B93 eek that could be promising! Although I’ve accepted now our bodies love to play tricks on us!

My BBT isn’t rising particularly quickly so I’m not feeling hopeful!

Dreamer88 · 15/03/2023 17:50

Hi! I’m on CD 11 and the clear blue ovulation stick has just started flashing. I’m guessing I dtd now and each day until it peaks and stops flashing to show ovulation? That way it increases the chances. This is the first time I’ve done the digital version. My cycle lengths are normally around 30 days so when is ovulation likely to occur? I don’t want to waste any more sticks as I’ve had two errors already and they’re not cheap!

uop21 · 15/03/2023 18:00

@B93 how many DPO? Im 9 DPO and I've also had night sweats in the last two nights and cramping today, really hope AF isn't coming 😭

B93 · 15/03/2023 18:19

@Mushroo I keep thinking the same. I usually spot on and off for 2 days but sometimes longer. But it’s only been twice when wiping Monday and today. Cramping/backache seems to ease off and then come again in full force. My temperature has risen a bit but also been a bit off it 🤧.

@uop21 I am approximately 13dpo (CD29) not done any ovulation tests but temperature monitoring. Cycles are 27-32 days but last few have been 30-32. Never experienced night sweats when she AF before. I did wonder if it was covid but negative LFT this morning 🤷🏼‍♀️

jessie92 · 15/03/2023 18:22

Hi everyone 😊 hope you don’t mind if I join. Have been joining in discussions on and off as been ttc since last may for #1. Seems to be almost reaching point where we may need investigations but have been tracking bbt. Current chart showing dip ~10dpo but it does jump around quite a lot so is a bit confusing! Have got to the point where testing is just a bit too stressful, not sure if others feeling the same way 💭 wishing lots of luck for this cycle!

B93 · 15/03/2023 19:09

@jessie92 we are over the year point now. I have a my GP request ready to send in tomorrow morning, I know it’s going to be a long wait for referrals. They will investigate but won’t get further help with already one DC.

Previously had blood tests to check I ovulate. Which came back fine. Although I do believe I ovulate late and have a shorter luteal phase.

Currently looking into costs of going private 😬😳

jessie92 · 15/03/2023 19:40

@B93 sorry to hear you’re struggling! Hopefully the GP will do something about it.

if you were to go private do you think you’d go straight to a gynaecologist or try a fertility clinic?

B93 · 15/03/2023 19:54

@jessie92 I was going to see what the GP says first. If there are tests or scans they can do that indicate anything I will take them and then decide.

If it’s a matter of waiting months/years we will probably consider private.

tdeall · 15/03/2023 20:08

Hi everyone I've still been feeling quite sick today maybe I am ill 😅
I am going to test in the morning, can't wait another day!

How is everyone?

B93 · 15/03/2023 20:14

@tdeall that sounds hopeful - the only time sickness/nausea is welcomed! Keep us posted tomorrow 🤞🏼

tdeall · 15/03/2023 20:22

@B93 I know! I'm scared I'm making it up in my head though. Has AF not arrived for you yet? I will let you all know in the morning, nerve-wracking 😫.

uop21 · 15/03/2023 20:25

@B93 oooh that's interesting!! Will you be testing soon or will you wait until AF is late? Fingers crossed for you, your symptoms sound hopeful
