I have pcos and ovulate later in my cycle between cd18-cd22 I generally have a 31-35 day cycle....

Cycle 20 for us this cycle

I won't be testing until 29th April.... that seems so far away 😂😂😂

Iwas very hit and miss with my BBT this month I'm going to make sure I'm on point with it this cycle and I'll be starting my OPKS from cd 16.

I've ordered some myo-inositol that I'm going to start from today and I've just ordered some preseed and we will DTD every other day from cd 14 upto cd 18 then every day till cd 24....

Well that's the plan anyways 😁

AF is due in 7days. Dnt feel like I have any symptoms yet so dnt hold much hope for this month. Think I will track ovulation properly next month n hope that helps. What a tough journey this is 😔

Luhou · 11/04/2023 11:04

Hi, hope you don't mind me joining? I'm 6dpo and symptom spotting like mad. TTC 2nd baby. When do people usually test? Trying to hold of until Sunday when I will be 11/12dpo.

Bellabeemarie · 11/04/2023 14:51

@Sambeaumont ohhh wish I was in 2ww loool

@Luhou I'm a bad early tester so I won't give you a time frame 😂😂😂

Currently cd15 and my opks nearly positive I've had a big dip in bbt this morning too so I think I'll ovulate sometime between now and Fri 🤞

I'm planning to DTD today/ tomorrow / Fri & sat hopefully I'll have confirmation of ovulation by sat and I don't need to DTD for a few days!!!! It's friggin exhausting trying to make sure you get enough swimmers waiting nd cover yourself!

Cd1 anyone like to join me for April's cycle?

I was very patient with first baby and waited until after my missed period. I know it's to early to test but convinced by nipples are sore today.🤔

smldnlove · 11/04/2023 15:12

@Luhou Hi! I’m 7dpo today so thought I’d say hello! Your symptoms sound very positive to me! I don’t have spotting, just very heavy CM and nausea, light cramping all day today but no boob soreness.

I just caved and did a test and it was negative I think 🙈🙈🙈 I wouldn’t test today if I were you, from personal experience 😂😂

I will now wait till Friday I think.

Luhou · 11/04/2023 15:31

@smldnlove hey! I had terrible nausea with my first but not until the day of my missed period. Cramping sounds positive like something is happening! It is so tempting to test, but also don't want to feel disheartened when I get a BFN. I am in work Friday so I will hopefully be busy enough not to think about it to much. I am going to try wait until Saturday. What test did you use? I have FRER and a clear blue at the ready!😂

How long have you been ttc for?

Bellabeemarie · 11/04/2023 20:20

@smldnlove I do the exact same nd know it's gona be negative but I just can't help myself 🙈😂😂😂

I won't be testing this cycle till end of April ( I hope🙄🙈😂😂😂😂)

@Luhou Yes good to have some distractions. I’m in the office tomorrow so will keep me busy and not thinking about it. I do find though that in the office I tend to symptom spot more… I used internet cheapies from Amazon but have just bought some early response ones from Clear and Simple which may or may not be reliable. Have you used them before?

smldnlove · 11/04/2023 20:49

@Bellabeemarie Haha it’s such a nightmare, it’s painful!! Well hope you get lots of DTD in the next few days…very exciting!

Luhou · 12/04/2023 08:24

Lets hope for BFP's all round! My DD has been sleeping really badly which means I'm really tired so not sure if my 'symptoms' are realted to that. She oddly woke up at 3am and insisted she slept with her head on my tummy. Sixth sense? 😂I've deffinetely got some cramping going on today.

smldnlove · 12/04/2023 11:45

@Luhou Yes I had some yesterday but alright today. Also struggling to sleep well. Fingers crossed for us!!!

how long have you been trying?

Luhou · 12/04/2023 12:02

I haven't been on any contraception for the best part of 6 months but only been really trying for the last couple of cycles. I was very fortunate and fell pregnant very quickly with my 1st. I think I may test tomorrow, which will be 6 before my period with FRER, packet says 79% effective 6 days before.

Bellabeemarie · 12/04/2023 12:02

Ohhhh how exciting for u ladies in the 2ww 🥰

I feel so done with ttc atm 😮‍💨 I feel so exhausted with it all! I feel like my whole life revolves around it...

I think we may take a break for a little while after this cycle I just feel like I need a few months to get this ttc malarkey out my head 😕 xxx

@Bellabeemarie it really plays with your emotions. I feel full of excitement now but also preparing to be really low next week when it's negative. Have you got anything else to focus on or look forward too? It's so difficult not to think about it 100% of the time. How long have you been trying for?

MK85 · 12/04/2023 12:52

Officially CD1 .
Period just showed up :(
Also a pcos sufferer here

TheBirdintheCave · 12/04/2023 12:55

@MK85 Augh sorry AF got you.

@Bellabeemarie Have you peaked yet?

Luhou · 12/04/2023 12:59

@MK85 sorry you got AF. Hope you're doing okay and it is over quickly for you.

Farmgirl12 · 12/04/2023 13:09

@Bellabeemarie it does get you down and times, and feels like it’s never going to happen. We tried for nearly 4 years to conceive our 3rd. We just stopped with the tracking and testing. And just dtd when we felt like it instead of it being regimented. And we fell pregnant within about 3 month’s I think.

@MK85 sorry ti hear your af has arrived, every month it just wears you down. Hopefully next cycle is your time.

sending love to everyone ❤️

buckingmad · 12/04/2023 13:59

CD12 here and patiently (or not so) waiting for my peak. I usually peak around CD14-18.

Luhou · 13/04/2023 07:49

Hey. So I tested this morning and got a BFN, feeling a bit down but still hope. I am only 8dpo, 6 days until period. But that is based on just my standard 28 day cycle, no ovulation testing. So if I am on a 29 day cycle I'm not even in testing window yet. trying to convince myself here. Best of luck to anyone testing today x

Sambeaumont · 13/04/2023 10:07

Looks like AF has turned up early for me. Gutted! Onto the next cycle. Good look everyone x

buckingmad · 13/04/2023 12:45

@Luhou a lot of people don't even implant until 8-10dpo so don't feel down. Try again in at least 2 days if not more.

Luhou · 13/04/2023 13:04

Thanks @buckingmad you're right. I think I might just leave testing now and see if AF arrives next week. I had a really cruel dream that I got a BFP just before I woke up this morning 🙁

Bellabeemarie · 13/04/2023 14:39

@Sambeaumont sorry af has shown hun its shit isn't it 😔

@Luhou your still early babe got my fingers crossed for u!

We haven't BD and I ovulated yesterday afternoon so we've missed this month but I'm actually okay because I've not got a stressful 2ww this month now 🤣

We've been renovating the house and my fiance has been working from 6am-5pm then coming home and working in the house until 9/10pm by time he's ate had a bath he's been wiped out and up for 5am the following morning so I said we'll have a month off will do us both the world of good 😊

Pulling all the stops out in May tho xxx
