I have searched and can’t find a thread for anyone who’s Ttc this month!
I’ll be onto month 4 since I had a mmc of trying to conceive! I won’t lie when AF showed yesterday I had a full blown meltdown about it and felt like I would never get pregnant when in reality 3 months really isn’t that long!
I am very lucky to already have 2 wonderful little boys age 7 &3 but really would like a 3rd to make out family complete!

@JumpinJellyfish yes I am I thought I recognised your name! I haven’t tested but I’m 99.9% AF will arrive tomorrow if not today! Hopefully she doesn’t arrive for you!! It’s so stressful the whole thing and I know will just get worse when I get that positive test!

I'm on CD3 today. This period feels like my first normal period since my miscarriage. Hoping the next 2-3 weeks go quickly. Have ordered easy @ home ovulation tests again. I'm in Ireland and since Christmas we haven't been able to order them anymore, so had to order from Amazon Germany. But much prefer these to the ones I used last cycle.

@TicklishDreamer has AF arrived? Hopefully you're not out 🤞🏼

TicklishDreamer · 19/05/2024 17:28

@Bb542 its good that it’s first normal one post miscarriage!

not shown up yet, I’ve been getting period pains all day on and off which is normal for me so I expect her to arrive tomorrow at latest!

Have you tested yet? 😱

TicklishDreamer · 19/05/2024 18:01

@Bb542 no I’m thinking Tuesday if I’ve still no AF! My cycle is usually 25/26 days and today is day 26 so will see what tomorrow brings but I have exact same symptoms of AF coming so I’m convinced AF on her way.

JumpinJellyfish · 19/05/2024 18:14

I haven’t tested either…this is CD29 and cycles are usually 28-29 days, but have been a bit weird since mc - my first AF post Mc (March) came 28 days later, but then last cycle (April) it was 31 and I had ovulated late. This time I don’t know when I ovulated. I don’t feel pregnant at all though and have been really moody with DH and the kids so suspect AF will show up tomorrow!

If it doesn’t I will also test on Tuesday @TicklishDreamer!

purplecolouroffunk · 19/05/2024 18:21

Hope it’s okay to join in! Hope you’re all okay.

I’m 10dpo and having to sit on my hands not to test 😂 Trying to hold until at least 12dpo to get something a bit more definitive.

First TWW since a MMC in April. We were going to wait until after my first period but mistimed ovulation and ended up DTD right in the middle of my fertile days 😬

Had sore huge boobs before my MC and stuffy nose for weeks. Absolutely no symptoms this cycle so I don’t have my hopes up 😔

TicklishDreamer · 19/05/2024 18:30

@JumpinJellyfish my first cycle after was 31 days from miscarriage starting to next period, but since then it’s been 25 days but pre miscarriage was always 26 days without fail so figure we will wait till Tuesday! I have also been extremely grumpy too and just have all signs of AF!

@purplecolouroffunk oooo so you’ll be testing Tuesday too!

OP posts:
purplecolouroffunk · 19/05/2024 18:44

@TicklishDreamer ooh yes just saw you will be too! What dpo is that for you?

In my MMC cycle I had a nice strong positive on day 14 so tempted to wait til then. HOWEVER my (loose 😂) rationale is that if I am pregnant this cycle too, dating might be more accurate if I’m able to give them the date of an earlier first positive…

MiaFern · 19/05/2024 18:46

Hi all! I am new here, would love to join you. I am on my ttc cycle 2. Today is 9 dpo. Of course I can’t resist testing (have a small lab in my bathroom already LH/PDG/HCG) 😂 PDG +++ HCG -
I wish I could have more patience!!
I hope we all will see || asap! 😍

Bb542 · 19/05/2024 19:09

Oh wow fair play ladies for not testing. You all have such strong will power. Hope you all get BFPs 🤞🏼❤️ (remember, AF symptoms are the same as pregnancy so you never know). Keep us updated 🤞🏼

TicklishDreamer · 19/05/2024 19:21

@purplecolouroffunk im 13DPO, due on either today or tomorrow have a 25/26day cycle! 12DPO hopefully could get a nice positive! So thinking Tuesday would mean I have missed my period so going to wait!

@MiaFern hopefully you get your positive in the next few days!!

Fingers crossed for you! Until AF arrived no one is out of the ‘game’!

purplecolouroffunk · 19/05/2024 19:24

@TicklishDreamer good for you for waiting! I hate the feeling of a negative test where you still sort of convince yourself it might be a false negative. So doesn’t really release any anticipation 😂

As a side note, has anyone ever had wacky dreams as a pregnancy symptom? I didn’t have that before my MMC but have had mental dreams for about 6 nights now / whenever I have a nap.

I am planning for #2
with the first one I had lots of nightmares!

Hi Everyone, I hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend? Good luck to everyone testing this week, I hope AF stays clear!

I’m around 7/8 DPO (I had my static smiley on the clear blues last Saturday morning)

I have some slight prickly feelings on my right ovary side but I think I’ve had these before so trying not to get my hopes up. I’ve got a long week ahead 😅

TicklishDreamer · 19/05/2024 20:04

@Marshmallow99 that second week of the TWW is just the worst it drags so much! Keep busy!!

Hi ladies

Hope it’s okay to join in too!

According to FF, I ovulated 19 days ago and I haven’t got AF yet but I am scared to take a test and be disappointed with a BFN (I have irregular periods so I don’t know if I trust that I ovulated).

Its so nice everyone has a place to share their journey like this, it can be quite lonely!

TicklishDreamer · 19/05/2024 20:11

@OneAmber welcome!! What’s your longest cycle! Could you wait till that many days then test? I also hate to see BFN so completely understand waiting!

Hi Mia! I'm 9dpo today as well. I couldn't resist testing today and negative - totally expected it and knew it would be but yet I love to torture myself! 😂 Sending you loads of luck. Keep us posted when you test

Thank you. The last 3 have ranged from 34-41 but last year I had 2 x 60 day cycles. Because my BBT temps had ‘confirmed’ ovulation, we chilled out on BD’ing and I’m regretting that now, I’m thinking we should get back to it just in case!

I saw you’re waiting for AF in the next few days, I’ve got my fingers crossed for you!

Hey hey 👋 Thank youuu so much, I wish you lots of luck too! For some people is easier to wait until the missed period and others start playing lab tech from 6dpo (that’s me haha). We are all different and it’s fine. So Nicee to talk to someone, it is so lonely to wait for || by yourself. Thank you for welcoming me to the cycle buddies group 😍

TicklishDreamer · 19/05/2024 20:40

@OneAmber have you tried OPKs to confirm ovulation with your cycles being so irregular?
hopefully you get a BFP when you test!!

I have tried them but I think my surge is extremely short, only once did I manage to get a positive and it was gone within a few hours. That’s why I switched to temping but I only just read it can be inaccurate for people with irregular periods. Oh that would be the dream but for some reason, I’m just not hopeful, I will let you know when I do test :-)

Rycbar · 19/05/2024 21:10

I’m in my TTW. I actually had a really weird cycle this month so I’m pretty sure I’m out but still hopeful. This will be month 10 of TTC.
I think I’m on dpo7 so still a few days before I can test or AF comes!
For the first time ever I got spotting before ovulation. As soon as my EW appeared it was tinged with blood, it culminated on one day where I actually thought AF was coming and then it stopped completely - I think this was the day I ovulated although my temps have been a bit weird because I haven’t been sleeping well. Fingers crossed for everyone on here. It’s such a long hard journey 💕
