Anyone else CD1?

[gormlessgoldilocks]

I'm CD1 today. AF came this morning. This is our 3rd cycle TTC #2.

Anyone else want to join me?

Hello, may I join?

I had a chemical in January and a MMC in March. It took 7.5 weeks to test negative and get AF to return. I was excited to be returning to my 'normal' only for that cycle to last 18 days :(. My luteal phase was only 3/4 days. No idea what this cycle will be like, but I'm currently CD8 and still spotting a bit with mild crampy sensations.

Weirdest cycle I've ever had by far. Hoping this cycle will be better. My husband is away over the weekend, so hoping my body will hold off until CD15/16.

I'd say it was just from DTD. Maybe a bit of irritation? Are you getting normally numbers on your OPK?

Did you get to DTD much? Fingers crossed for you. It'll be nice to be in Greece as a distraction for the TWW 😂

@KittyFantastica hello! I'm so sorry it took you so long to get back to a bit of normality with your cycles. I had a miscarriage in Feb and my cycles have been strange too. I now ovulate much earlier than I used to and they go from a 33 day cycle to 26 day last month? I used to be every 28 days exactly. Hopefully they will regulate for us soon 🤞🏼

I'm CD13 now, my OPKs have started to rise so I reckon I'll peak tomorrow or Friday 🤞🏼 we DTD on Sunday, Tuesday and hopefully tonight. Probably won't get to tomorrow though 😬

Good luck this cycle everyone 🥰🤞🏼

@Bb542 I most likely ovulated today and we dtd yesterday, 3 and 5 days ago. I hope my partner will have the stamina to go again today and tomorrow as we're trying the SMEP method (although it's a lot! 😅). It's tough as our DD's sleep has been horrible this week, it's like she knows what we're trying to do and makes sure it doesn't happen 😂😂
Good luck to you!!

Bless you, good luck for tonight!! It is a LOT isn't it when you're trying 😂

I used to be clockwork and standard 28 days too @Bb542, it's so frustrating, isn't it? I'm so sorry for your loss.

I've really struggled with the aftermath because it's taking so long to get my body back, it feels like it's out of control. I was desperate to be trying again by now, but I recon the hormones still have a lot of settling to do. Still, I'm here for the ride this month, whatever happens. Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst and another 18 day cycle.

How's everyone getting on? CD15 for me. I am still waiting for my peak although I can tell that my body is gradually heading towards ovulation. I'm in no rush really but I guess I worry that if it takes us a few cycles I don't want to ovulate too late because it will just add time on! But I'm sure it's just my body adapting since this is only the second cycle off the pill.

Hi @imy 🥰 glad you're doing well. Hopefully you get that peak soon 🤞🏼do you have any of the ovulation symptoms?

I peaked on Wednesday so I'm 2dpo today. Glad I was using OPKs as I peaked sooner than I thought. We DTD 3 times between Sunday and Wednesday so I hope it was enough 😬 would've liked to Thursday too but wasn't possible as my OH wasn't home.

How's everyone else?

Sounds like you've got a really good chance this month @Bb542 ! When will you test?

I don't get a lot of CM but I can tell that it's starting to get a bit closer to what it should look like around ovulation. Let's see!

Had my peak on Tuesday (CD 12) evening so I ovulated on Wednesday or Thursday I guess. We dtd on CD 8, 10, 12 and 14 so I hope it was enough. I'm gutted missed CD 13 😣 Now onto the TWW...

Exciting @MisssMarion ! I wouldn't worry too much about missing one day. Let's see! Looks like I'll be quite a bit behind you all but please post your tests on here and I will live through you whilst I wait haha

How's everyone doing?
The TWW is killing me, I'm probably 5 dpo today and it feels like time has stopped 😂
I'm going on holiday on Sunday (10 dpo). I won't test before that as I don't want to test before 10 dpo, and I won't test on the morning of our flight (first flight with a 2 yo is stressful enough), so I won't know until next Monday, it's like ages away 😣😣

Hope you have an amazing holiday @MisssMarion. Whatever happens, it's a great place to be. If positive, a wonderful way to find out and, if negative, all the benefits of a holiday to get you through. Fingers crossed for you.

AF came for me on CD18, so I'm into a new cycle now. I had a rise this cycle on CD9, but had only just stopped spotting at the time, and no peak. Decided to test through the rest of the month until AF comes just to see whether it's another anovulatory cycle and by CB digital showed a flashing smiley! A few hours later, I had some EWCM, so we'll give it another go. Only time will tell if I get a peak or whether it will be a false rise.

I spoke to the GP this morning about the weird cycles and no ovulation over the last few months and have some blood tests booked for next week, so feeling a bit more hopeful again now :).

It'll come around before you know it @MisssMarion ! Hopefully this weekend you'll be so focused on going on holiday that the time will pass quickly. I finally got my peak yesterday so I imagine I'm ovulating today. I don't really get any CM so it's hard to pinpoint but the peak was quite clear so fingers crossed. We had sex Saturday, Sunday (twice) and last night and will do it again today so I think we've covered all bases. We'll see!

How is everyone doing? I've just got back from a 10 day holiday. Managed to DTD 4 times in the window. I'm currently 9dpo 😬 I want to resist but I know I'll test tomorrow

You are stronger than me @gormlessgoldilocks ! I gave in today at 8DPO, whilst on holiday! I used a clear blue ultra early which I don't really like but it was the only option. I felt like I could see a shadow but my husband couldn't and now I don't know whether to trust myself or not. I am not really worried though because I know 8DPO is really early so I'll just try again tomorrow!

A little update from me 🤯 I tested positive on Saturday at 8/9DPO with a faint but visible line. I'm 13/14DPO now and progression is looking great. I'm still in a state of slight panic and anxiety, but it's slowly sinking in.

I'm a ball of anxiety after my two losses, so taking one day at a time. It's impossible not to feel a bit of excitement and hope though.

Crossing my fingers for you all for some more BFPs!

Wow what a strong line!! A huge congratulations!! 🩷

@imy ,8dpo is really early and clear blue ultra early is still not that sensitive have you tried a First Response? Fingers crossed for you!

Omg congratulations!!! I hope it sticks 💕

I know you're absolutely right on both the first response and it being super early! I am still on holiday and can't get hold of a first response here but will get some on Amazon tomorrow at home if I haven't got an answer before then 😊 have you tested this morning?

How's the holiday going?

I have BFN but like you I didn't use a super sensitive test and I have a cold so was drinking water all night. I'm waiting for a first response but I'm starting to think it won't be this month. Hard to symptom spot with a cold

I think I'm out for the month. 11dpo and BFN on FRER
