Anyone want to wait together ?!
Telling myself I won't test for two weeks but I might not be able to resist.

LATE ovulation this month but hoping next phase is long enough (I usually fluctuate!)

I think we DTD enough 🙏

@Mangotango39 awh thank you my daughter is 6! We done the whole move to forever home and focus on climbin career ladder before ttc again! So a bit of a gap if successful! Wat about yourself lovely? Is this ur first? Xx

Mangotango39 · 24/05/2023 12:54

@Freya8 I think that's a lovely age gap!
I bet she will love having a little sibling.

Yes this will be our first and our first cycle trying. I have been tracking a while to understand my cycles (pcos)
I have fallen accidentally twice previously but both miscarriages unfortunately. Hoping this our time though 🙏

I have been to the doctors last month and they did all my fertility bloods which looked positive so feeling relieved with that. DP also got a sperm count which didn't have any issues thankfully 😁

Yes I feel the same even though it's the beginning, wow I am stressing.

and then everyone says , don't stress 😆

I came off the pill about 3 years ago and we were using condoms. It took me about 6 months to even have a period so Godknows what ovulation was like!!

Hi there. Mind if I join.

We had a mmc and passed everything 3 weeks ago. Not sure what is going on in my body, I had EWCM all day on Monday and we DTD. Yesterday I had what felt like ovulation pains. Unfortunately didn’t DTD last night and won’t get another opportunity, so I guess the TWW starts? Or does it? Who knows! Was it even ovulation! But I am going to act as though today is 1DPO as 11 is my lucky number and last time we got our BFP on 11DPO. So will do a test on 4 June if AF hasn’t shown up by then!

Mangotango39 · 25/05/2023 10:20

@LittleMiss2023 course! All our welcome!
so sorry re your MMC - I have had two and they can be so painful emotionally.
I heard your actually most fertile after but unsure if true!!

11 is also my lucky number 😀

I also felt something this morning , every second month I always feel something in the left of my stomach not sure if it's imaginary but then the other month I never feel it (possibly right ovulation?!)
it's a strange twinge!

I can't get on with taking temperature at all so can't confirm ovulation either - my sleep is too crazy!!!!

wishing you so much luck!

@LittleMiss2023 sorry to hear of ur mc 😔 i hav also heard ur more fertile after so fingers crossed.
O day for me today tho i got awful crampy late last night on peak day an hot flushy which was the symptoms last month on o day so im wondering if i hav ovulated already? Meh who knows!! I dont temp either as it would be another thing for me to worry about 🤣🤣 we bd cd5,7,9,11,13 and 14. Cant be arsed today wat will be will be xxx

Mangotango39 · 25/05/2023 10:44

Literally I am glad temping did not work cause I would be obsessed watching it rise and fall - surely there's lots of factors that could throw it off to!!!

I wish the results were immediate 😁put us out our misery. But only time will tell 😁
I am feeling optimistic . Purchased some fr tests ready have to hide them!

@Mangotango39 you should get boots early response they work perfectly if cant get hold of any frer think frer are 6.5 and boots are 10 mui or miu or watever the sensitivity is loll

ab0416 · 25/05/2023 11:25

TWW for me too from today following a mc at 9 weeks just after Easter. I'm 39 and DP is 44, so the anxiety is fairly high, as feels like time is beginning to run out for us now 😬

Mangotango39 · 25/05/2023 12:26

@Freya8 I don't live in the UK - gutted we don't have boots I miss it!! 😅

Mangotango39 · 25/05/2023 12:27

@ab0416 so sorry to hear that - they are far too common it's cruel 😞sending positive thoughts for you.

is this both your first?

Jb2189 · 25/05/2023 12:46

I'm currently 2 dpo and the wait is killing me.

3rd cycle TTC, 1st cycle TTC I fell pregnant but sadly ended in a MMC. Never worked last cycle so 3rd time lucky hopefully!

ab0416 · 25/05/2023 13:07

@Mangotango39 Yes, TTC our first baby. Trying to remain zen about the whole thing, but it's difficult to stop your head from overthinking sometimes

Sorry to hear this! Third time lucky I hope for you 🙏 your body might have just been out of kilter last month and needed more time.

god these weeks better fly! Horrible to wish time away but I think on this occasion it's fine 😂

Completely understand! Have you thought of a fertility MOT to help anxiety?
I have pcos so that's always a worry but knowing my levels were ok easied my mind for sure!

ab0416 · 26/05/2023 07:54

@Mangotango39 I haven't actually, so I might see what happens this month and take it from there. It can become a little all consuming when you're TTC can't it, but I'm trying to remain positive, and hopefully in a couple of weeks we'll all have some good news 🤗

Yes it's so overwhelming - people say (stupid) things like 'don't stress' and 'don't put your life on hold' but cmon! Not possible!!!

Hi, can I join?

This is our first cycle ttc #2. DH wants to keep it chilled and just see what happens (no tracking, planned bd, ovulation tests etc) but I can’t stop thinking about it every minute of everyday and I always keep track of my cycle using the Flo app anyway (although I know this isn’t exactly reliable).

I fell pregnant first cycle when we were trying for ds but this time is different. Since having COVID twice and the vaccinations my cycles have been all over the place ranging from 23 - 37 days.

Based on the app I am 2dpo but I am not sure how accurate that is. I think I have had some of my tell tale symptoms but I can’t be certain.

Freya8 · 27/05/2023 08:00

@BubbleBathLover snap im 2dpo too and ttc #2! Fell preg with my dd first cycle too!This tww is draggin already 🤣🤣 yeh i find myself googling 1dpo... 2 dpo

BubbleBathLover · 27/05/2023 08:23

@Freya8 it is crazy how all consuming it is! Or maybe I am just a bit obsessive but it’s hard not to be 😅

Why is it that when you aren’t ttc you finish your period and before you know it it is back again but when you are in the notorious tww it feels like forever! 😅

Mangotango39 · 27/05/2023 09:27

@BubbleBathLover welcome 😊
my DP was abit like that with the whole 'chill, it will happen' but when I explained the science and fertile window (he had no clue!) he was abit more onboard knowing it's not as simple!

the apps are always wrong for me by themselves - I have to put in the strips and track my peak.

that's so strange about covid - I wonder if others have experienced similar??
I had the flu last week and suspect covid - it delayed my ovulation for sure.
