@justanothermummma it's so interesting how different everyone's cyles are, I think we all joined the original thread around our 2 WW but I'm just finishing my period tomorrow. Do you have quite short cycles? Mine vary between 28-39 days.🙄

How long after ovulation do you get your period, ie when will you be testing? xxx

@LeopardLover I commented earlier but you may not have seen it I'm so happy for you. How are you feeling and when will you do a first scan? Fingers crossed all goes well for you!

@Sealover123 Oh I must've missed it, thank you!! 💜 What CD are you now? How are you doing?

I have no symptoms except the odd bit of cramping! I'm still only 4 weeks though. I remember feeling nauseous around week 6. I can't decide what to do re a private scan! I'd quite like an 8 week scan but I'd also quite like the Harmony/NIPT which would be 10 weeks (but if I'm not as far as 10 weeks I'd have to be rescanned) so I just can't decide 😅 I had a window to the womb less than 4 mins away but that's gone now so nothing is really convenient 🤣

I'm not going to register with the hospital until I'm at least 6 weeks xxx

@Sealover123 I first joined in prep of my coil coming out so this is my first cycle of trying since then, I literally ovulated a few days after my coil was out.

Flo says my cycles vary, some are quite long mind! It's all a bit of a minefield! X

@LeopardLover I've had a few days off the app and feeling ok. We've DTD a couple days in my fertile window (my TWW starts tomorrow) but I know this cycle might be off because of the MC. I feel ok about that though and we booked a last minute city break for next weekend which will take my mind off the wait and what will be will be. I'll be ok if it's not though and will launch myself into the next cycle! Gosh this TTC is a rollercoaster isn't it.

I'm definitely not feeling as wiped out as I was, just quite emotional! My poor husband is getting the brunt of it! 😬 x

@Vic231 Glad you're feeling okay 💜 oh wow, where are you headed? ✈ That sounds like fun and a great distraction! Such a roller coaster 😫

Sorry you've been feeling so emotional, that's completely understandable and I'm sure your husband gets it! It's not you, it's the hormone come down/situation! X

Thank you @LeopardLover 💕 we are off to Amsterdam! Never booked anything so last minute 😂 so need to get excited about it! I think it will be good for us though.

How are you doing? X

Starting cycle 3 this month. Husband and I had a chat yday and were like, let’s just do what we can while we can. Last 2 months we were like “can’t book this in case I’m preggo” but we have decided just to book stuff and if I’m not we have it to look forward to and if I am it can be sorted.

i know we haven’t been trying very long In the Grand scheme of things but we were already finding ourselves not booking things incase

@Vic231 That's so exciting!! I haven't been in about 16 years but after watching Ted Lasso I want to go back again. You'll have the best time 😍

@DuchessofSuffolk Good plan. It's so hard to know when things will happen! You can always amend plans in the future. Xx

@Vic231 oooh I love Amsterdam! Enjoy!

AF arrived with a vengeance - on to cycle 2 we goooo!!

@Vic231 ooh that sounds fab! Enjoy! 🥰

@DuchessofSuffolk very wise. No point putting the rest of life on hold, and when you do get pregnant things can always be rearranged 😊

@justanothermummma oof... Think I'll be joining you shortly! Have had my pre-AF cramping today and just started with some spotting so... Pretty sure she's knocking at the door 😂 Been trying to ignore her but she's insisting on popping by 😂

@SnookyPook she's certainly persistent and most definitely evil! I mean, giving me sore, swollen boobs, nausea and none of my usual symptoms to let me believe I might be able to swerve her this month, the cheek!!

I hope she's kinder to you, in fact I remain hopeful she decides not to show up for us all next month, we deserve a 9 month break! X

@justanothermummma hear hear! Hope you're doing ok. X

So I have a potentially stupid question 😂 after the talk about not putting things off during TTC, what do people do around not doing things in the TWW... for example, not taking ibuprofen / hayfever tablets, not drinking, not eating certain foods etc.. or do you just carry on until you get a BFP?

@justanothermummma Sorry to hear about AF 😫

@Vic231 I think most people just live their lives! I didn't drink but I rarely drink anyway so it wasn't a difficult move. Most people I know got pregnant after drinking 😅 I did also limit my drug in take but I would've popped a hayfever tablet for sure! I also had a very unhealthy TWW due to eating at Glastonbury 🤣🙈

@Vic231 carry on until a BFP, because if it's a BFN then you've wasted a good strong coffee or glass of wine ahaha. 🍷

@LeopardLover thanks lovely, it is what it is! I'm trying to view it all as a no pressure scenario now, not going to bother with ovulation tests or tracking because I'll end up obsessing and I don't want to 😂. I thought ovulation tests cycle one would help but with AF arriving anyway it just adds to the 'why's and 'what ifs' I think!

@SnookyPook if it means more date nights then I guess another month ttc is okay? 😂 Hope you're okay too lovely!

Got to love the trials of trying to understand your own body eh!

I've been allowing myself a drink in the in-between weeks then trying not to where possible in TWW itself but I don't change my food and id have an anti histamine etc because there's no direct connection until it's implanted properly etc anyway is my logic 🤷🏼‍♀️
I think TWW starts tomorrow/Wednesday. I've missed any surge on my strips but suspect it msy have been overnight or this morning.
My app was telling me I would ovulate on Sunday which I definitely didn't. Lines were getting darker yesterday but then I've missed testing for 24 hours as been busy and now the line is fainter again. So crossing everything it did happen and I just missed it 🤞
I also think the app has my AF date too early as well so won't be getting my hopes up if we reach that date with no sign (someone remind me of that closer to the time!) Xx

@justanothermummma I'm ok thanks lovely. Back to CD1 (well, 2 now as gone midnight!) - feeling ok. I really wasn't expecting a BFP this month - just wasn't feeling it. So, it is what it is. On to the next cycle...!

@SnookyPook glad you're feeling okay! I think (as hard as it is) remaining positive is the only way to cope! I'm very much a believer in 'what is meant for you won't pass you by', so I know it will happen when the time is right (and science allows obvs!), and if it doesn't happen, that's okay too. I have two DDs who are wonderful as is, so a third is greedy anyway 😂 (and insane).

It's Peak Fertility today according to Premom app but can't do a thing due to semen analysis tomorrow 😩. Because of the timing of our investigation I haven't tracked BBT or ovulation sticks at all this cycle

@Favofit Aww no! Bloody typical timing getting the way. But at least the analysis might mean a clearer picture moving forward? So sorry it's going to get in the way this peak though! X

@justanothermummma I couldn't believe the timing but at least as you say we will have a clearer picture of what's going ❤️

Back on my fertile week. Pestering the hubby! 😂😂

😂😂😂 I bet he loves it

Everyone okay? It's very quiet! X
