@Bex4567 this was my 2nd cycle trying after stopping desogestrel I should count myself lucky my cycles went straight back to normal so I'm trying to think of the positives 😆

nervousn3lly · 06/10/2023 09:13

Sorry to AF arrivals ladies mine not here yet but I feel it only round the corner, conflicting apps with different due dates one today one Sunday so just a matter of time.

I was 2nd month trying after a miscarriage.
We are all around the same aren't we.

Maybe we should keep this thread going for next cycle

Sorry to hear of AF arrivals ladies.

@Bex4567 this is cycle 4 for me now and I’m 32.

I would love to keep the thread going for next cycle. It really feels less lonely as I don’t have anyone to talk to about it. I’m also invested for you all now!

I’ve just purchased ovulation tests which I wasn’t going to do as was worried I would get obsessed but I’m already obsessed so figured it can’t hurt!!!! With my extra long cycle last month I have no idea now when I will be due to ovulate so want to make sure. I think my cycles are still not settled after coming off the pill in June.

This is my second month TTC post missed miscarriage in July. We were trying 6 months for that pregnancy x

Bex4567 · 07/10/2023 10:10

@Bex4567 TTC after loss is so hard isn't it 😞 I know realistically it's like a 20% chance each month, and that is if there's nothing wrong (and I know my hormones aren't right) but that doesn't make it feel any easier when it doesn't happen.

Bex4567 · 07/10/2023 17:49

Hi so I've been having the spotting since Thursday and stillno full blown period .did a test Friday when 12po but negative could I still pregnant

Hey ladies, sorry to hear it’s all been BFN the majority of you- @Bex4567 fingers crossed you’ll start the trend of BFP off!
I think it’s a great idea to keep this thread- been able to chat, rant etc has been great for TTC wellbeing.
This is are 3 cycle trying, but not sure if you could class our first as it was done on a bit of a whim, as we wasn’t going to start trying till the month later.
I’m not going to lie, I’m very nervous testing my ovulation- I tested last month (started with the strips and then went onto digital) and didn’t get any positive ovulation days. Testing again this month (just on digital) and currently CD8 and have been testing since I came off my period (since I didn’t get any positives last month I wanted to check if I ovulate super early) and still negative. Just hoping last month was a fluke with me switching the type of test.
Stress levels are pretty high about it which doesn’t help 😂 that and getting married in 3 weeks and making sure everything is sorted!!

Bex4567 · 08/10/2023 11:04

Well come to the post.. im not holding much hope spotting still going so probably start of period...going into month 3 for me ...baby dust for everyone

Bex4567 · 10/10/2023 07:44

Yes definitely let's keep it going into cycle 3...just waiting for ny period to end so can try again 😪

Any updates ladies? I hope you’re all well!

Comet1992 · 11/10/2023 07:45

Ive finished AF tracking my cycle again im supposed to ovulate the 19th-20th so I'm going to start lh testing soon plan on dtd earlier this time think we missed it dtd 5 days before and on ovulation day last cycle so think it was too late at that point this cycle looks more promising anyone else due to ovulate around that time?

TTCgoingcrazy · 11/10/2023 11:21

@Comet1992 I’ve finished AF. With my last cycle being longer than normal I have no idea when I am due to ovulate. One app is telling me 18th and the other 22nd! This will be my first month using ovulation tests to try and figure out when it is. What are LH tests?

MissEmily5 · 11/10/2023 13:43

Good idea, I started testing my ovulation super early (CD5) incase I missed it last month as I didn’t get a positive, so I don’t see any harm on testing early and getting a really clear idea on when!
Currently on CD11 and no positive yet- according to Flo I’m in my fertile window (9th-15th October)- my peak is apparently due on CD13 (13th) but I’m not sure how accurate this (I’ve heard lots of mixed reviews on this about Flo). According to Tommys ovulation calculator, I haven’t entered my fertile window until today and my fertile period is meant to be till 17th.
I’n really hoping that I’ll be coming up to my ovulation and that I test positive very soon- it’s nerve wracking since not getting a positive test last month. I just need that smiley face to settle my nerves!

MissEmily5 · 11/10/2023 13:47

@TTCgoingcrazy testing your ovulation is probably your best bet if you’re getting conflicting advice- I know with the apps they go off data that you’ve imputed, so if you have tested ovulation then it’s just a estimate really.
which tests are you using? I’m using the digital clear blue ones, I was told last month that it takes a while for them to gather enough data to create your personal baseline before it can give you really accurate results- just thought I’d mention as this wasn’t something I was aware of!

Comet1992 · 11/10/2023 15:31

@TTCgoingcrazy LH tests test for luteineizing hormone which should peak before your ovulation I've been using premom ones with the app apparently my peak was cd15 last cycle so will start testing before my cervix went really soft open and high the same day so I'm sure I ovulated the day after peak just keep testing twice a day until you find the peak

Bex4567 · 11/10/2023 16:12

My flo app said ovulation om day 11 my actaully with strips was 14,15 🤦‍♀️try again this month

Comet1992 · 17/10/2023 09:12
