@VixFromThe6ix how are you doing?? Trying for a second, I see! Are you getting too much sleep or something? 😂

Good morning!! Thank you for starting a new thread 😊💜 How are you doing today!?

I'm 6DPO and geez, this cycle is dragging 😴 x

Thanks for tagging me @VixFromThe6ix i went pretty quiet there had chemical last cycle n now here i am 2dpo again hope your all doin well i seen a few of you on the thread get ur bfp so congrats xxx

Thanks for the tag ❤️
I’m 15 dpo. Almost 100% not pregnant as bfn a few days ago, no symptoms other than regular AF ones who is imminent. DP has (finally) sent in his sperm sample so we shall see in the next few days what that says. I’ve got my polyps removal on Wednesday… even though I’m being told that they won’t affect conception anyway 🤷‍♀️

Thanks @VixFromThe6ix for the new thread. I do appreciate all the advice, kindness and support in this lovely group. You may remember last cycle I had a weird and super short 17 day cycle. I think this month things appear to be normalising.

@ImpatientTTCer 🤣🤣🤣 considering for over a year my son woke up every two hours at night, and since about 5 months ago he started sleeping through the night (ish). I thought, hey this ain't so bad. But lately he's been up before 6am and I am exhausted 🥱🥱 I have no idea how people do it with a toddler and a baby, I guess I hope I find out?

@LeopardLover haha the waiting time is the worst!!! But if it was me, I'd be testing by 6dpo. 😅😁 I think I'm gonna ovulate either today or tomorrow. Had a positive opk yesterday but my usual line is much darker than the control line so I'll test again in a bit to see if it's getting darker today or if I had my peak yesterday. Then waiting period begins for me.

@Freya8 I'm sorry about your chemical!! I got pregnant the following month with my son when I had my chemical and I keep reading about others being more fertile after, so fingers crossed for you!!!! And you're right we've had I believe 4 bfps in the group, which amazing!!

@AgeGapBbe hope all goes well, babe!! And that's going to be so helpful to get your hubby tested. I keep telling mine to get tested but he keeps dragging his feet. Fingers crossed for you!!!

@Angelsrose oh I hate when my cycles are weird. I'm glad it's normalizing for you!!! I feel like my body resets or something sometimes so once in a while I'll get a weird either super short ot super long cycle. Are you tracking ovulation and stuff?

Thanks for the tag. Waiting for O day. Hopefully over the bank holiday.

@Un7breakable fingers crossed! When is the bank holiday? I'm in Canada so I don't know 😊

@VixFromThe6ix this Monday.

Thank you for adding me. I'm 7+1 weeks pregnant and the support from you ladies has been invaluable.
Can't wait for you all to get your BFPs!

@Un7breakable 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 have lots of adult fun this weekend 😁

@TrudyProud happy to follow you on your journey! It's so encouraging to see all the bfps! We all know how tough the road to success is and we need this kind of positivity 💕 hope you're feeling great

@VixFromThe6ix thanks for starting the new thread and tagging me 🥰 I’m 5+3 I think. Had some more very light brown faint spotting which is doing my head in. Love and baby dust to those in 2 week wait! X

@Muriel84 happy to follow your pregnancy journey with you!! Your scan went well, I remember. I know seeing blood is so nerve-racking but I also read it's totally normal for many women during first trimester. So I hope it's nothing to worry about. Other than that, how are you feeling???

Didn’t even notice it got filled. I’m 9dpo and got a negative today. Is anyone else around the same time?

@VixFromThe6ix It's really dragging this month too 😅 Haha, I've been so sure I'm going to wait until AF is due but now I'll probably end up testing, just for the lolz.

Eeeek, so exciting you have a positive OPK. GET IT GIRL! 😂

@TrudyProud It's so lovely to have you here with us 😊

@VixFromThe6ix thanks for making a new thread. Exciting about ovulating, I think I did yesterday so we are pretty much ovulations twins!
Did you get the answers you were seeking from the gynae?
Also, did you mention your dh is taking testosterone? My dh had tests yestersay and he has a hormone imbalance where his is a bit low, so just interested to hear your experiences if you don't mind sharing.
@Angelsrose that's great news. I had a really messed up cycle last year so I know the relief of it going back to normal.
@Freya8 I am sorry for your loss but I asked the gynae about about miscarriage and fertility and she said it can cause double ovulation so you have great chances.

@VixFromThe6ix aww thank you. I’ve appreciated this thread so much thanks for setting it up. I’m ok trying to distract myself. Quite crampy and shattered but mainly cos not sleeping well. ❤️ how’s your weekend?

Thanks @TheFanciestPants it is a relief that my cycle seems to be going back to normal.
@VixFromThe6ix I was going to have a break from ovulation tests but because of my weird cycle earlier this month I wanted to make sure I was back on track. I have used the premom testing sticks (which are so much more affordable than the clearblue ovulation tests) and got a positive opk test at CD13. Although I obviously would like a positive test this month, I would also be happy to know my periods are back to a normal length!

@VixFromThe6ix @TheFanciestPants awh girls i really hope the more fertile thing is true!!! 3dpo here n draggin if only we cud just know instantly lol xx

Hey 👋 everyone, not sure what happened @VixFromThe6ix despite you tagging me I got lost but I found you all again 😀

@Eirlys1986 How are you getting on? 😊

@LeopardLover 👋 ok thanks, had the day.from.hell. Looking after toddler on my own for a day and night with hand foot and mouth. Not gonna lie, it culminated in me driving us around at 11pm at night to get him to go to sleep (both shed a few tears). He’s a bit better today though and OH is back so got my wingman.
How are you? How far into dpo are you now? X

Hello everyone. Just been catching up- Huge congratulations @Eirlys1986 @Muriel84 @Mummyme87,@TrudyProud and @JumbleJo! So excited for you all.

@AgeGapBbe I know it isn’t something to look forward to, but I’m so pleased that the polyp removal is nearly here- one thing off the ttc mental load. I really hope that it goes well and that you’re feeling as calm as you can about it.

@TheFanciestPants I’m sorry that you’ve had such a shock. It does sound a little weird from what you’ve said. I hope that you get some more information about next steps soon.

Well, my DH has come back from his 6 weeks away with work and we’ve got the usual 2 weeks to work with before he heads off again. My cycle length is 33 days on average and I am CD4, with my fertile period starting 4 days before he heads back. I’m theory, good, but for reasons I can’t articulate I’m feeling very pessimistic this time.

I think I’m just trying not to get my hopes up. I have Boots OPKs for the first time, so going to try those for the first time this month- see how that goes!

Sending you all a lot of love and baby dust. Sorry for being a bit quiet- the last 6 weeks has been a little crazy. My toddler is really missing her Dad, so is acting accordingly. Been a little low thinking about how tricky this is when you’re actually in the same country as your OH! 😂
