[FlyHighSky72]

Welcome to June @Iris2024and @Ec2808

I tried again straight after chemical, I think physically there’s no need to wait if you feel ready x

@Kayleaaaliterally no reason to wait the only reason nhs say to wait is because its easier to date the new pregnancy if u fall straight away, and people find it hard sometimes as their cycle doesnt go straight back to normal. But a true chemical it shouldnt affect your cycle too much as hcg levels should go down pretty quick

Amazon just presented me on the homepage with 30 Premom tests discounted. I’ve just gone and got them. For F sake. Why do I do this to myself 🙄 it’s like the internet knows how weak and crazy I am. I need to go to a POASA meeting 🤣

🤣 I ordered a big mix box of LH and pregnancy tests but thought they weren’t arriving until June so cancelled it and ordered again but both turned up (paid for, the cancellation hadn’t worked!) so I’ve got so many.. been using loads of LH strips because they’re here 🙈

When is stress the worst in your cycle?

It’s so hard not to do it! Any new symptoms today? 🤣 I’ve been having some cramps so not feeling too hopeful (I know they can be a symptom, I just have a strong feeling it’s PMS) 😣

@FlyHighSky72for me it’s the tww because you’ve done all you could and just have to wait 🤣

I will test Friday if no AF by then (I usually have a 10 day luteal phase so due Thursday). How about you?

Thanks @Ec2808I more meant when does stress have the worst impact on your fertility in your cycle?

That should say due Friday 🤦🏻‍♀️

Feel very much PMsy not pregnant pmsy today so lost all hope for this month

@FlyHighSky72 oh sorry didn't understand correctly...not too sure about this one so just asked chatgpt and it depends really because before ovulation stress can affect ovulation delay it or disrupt estrogen...around ovulation stress can affect libido,cm and fallopian tube movement [interfering with egg transport] in the luteal phase it can interfere with implantation can mimic pms or pegnancy symtoms could also shorten luteal phase by affecting progesterone levels...all in all stress is not good throughout your whole cycle...

Is anyone in the 2ww? I’m 2dpo today :)

@Ec2808thanks! I never know what counts as ‘stress’ I’m weirdly anxious today and yesterday (cycle day 8) for no reason - I’m on holiday so should be relaxed but I’m anxious and snappy. Keep thinking I’m never going to have a baby

@FlyHighSky72 i understand! I felt the exact same way last month and my attitude was horrible! I know you don't want to hear it but try to stay positive as much as you can! try to picture a safe place for your baby to grow the next 9 months sending hugs xx Also i'm CD10 so not far ahead ❤

@FlyHighSky72 enjoy your holiday have a few drinks and relax the best you can ❤

Thanks @Ec2808ill try!!

I just had a good cry to DH because i know im not pregnant and i can tell he feels bad as we couldnt DTD due to his injury, i am treating myself when AF comes- but anything i can do until it does..got 5 days till AF comes surely i cant be treating myself every month lol

@peanutForeveryou absolutely can treat yourself every month, TTC is tough! I feel exactly the same, 8dpo but pretty certain I’m out. I have a bottle of wine waiting for me when AF comes and have treated myself to a new book to read in the meantime. Sending hugs and solidarity x

It’s probably more like chronic regular stress, like I had a period of stress due to a bereavement and some family issues and that affected my cycle noticeably (it was all over the place), but I think feeling a bit stressed or anxious here and there probably doesn’t have a huge affect x

Thanks @Muddysocks1- I find the lack of control really hard!!

Also 2dpo Today.. the waiting game begins! Now to try and keep busy and distracted until next week hah! Sending you all the baby dust!✨

Hey thought i’d join this thread as i’m pretty sure im out for may! Af not arrived yet but I should had a bfp by now. Does anyone have any recommendations of tests to use as I had some pretty heartbreaking indents on wondflo and boots this cycle! I’m thinking of trying the premom ones this next cycle

It’s so hard!!! I feel like I’m constantly caught in a cycle that I don’t have much control of, and the bits you can control just add extra pressure. It’s a tricky balance

@Muddysocks1exactly - pretty much everything else in life you decide to do it and then it gets done!! Argh
