Morning girls, that’s it really, looking for 2WW buddies to get through the longest part of the ttc cycles !
I’m 1DPO, cycle 8 for a first baby 🀞🏼

@Lh4503 i’m sorry - glad you have that bit of closure with the test though, and you’re not in limbo for ages, even though I know it’s hard

Lh4503 · 31/08/2025 12:36

Thank you all ❀️❀️❀️ yes we're doing okay. Hope you are all doing okay too.

Figtree11 · 31/08/2025 20:08

@Lh4503 ❀️

How’s everyone doing? 5dpo here, and I feel very negative about this cycle. Had a little hope at the start but don’t now. Doesn’t help that I keep seeing pregnancy announcements on instagram all the time

EllieWales · 31/08/2025 20:26

@Figtree11 I’m the same, this cycle has been so messed up that I’m just not feeling it. I think I’m 11dpo today with AF due tomorrow and I haven’t even tested yet which is so unlike me. Is there a reason you’re not feeling very hopeful this month?

I also feel like everyone I know is pregnant and keep seeing fresh babies everywhere 😫

Figtree11 · 31/08/2025 20:52

@EllieWales I’m sorry that you feel similar. I really hope that AF doesn’t arrive for you. I’ve no inclination to early test either. I’m not really sure why I don’t feel hopeful. At 1dpo I felt like we’d had a good shot at it. But now I just can’t imagine seeing 2 lines. It probably doesn’t help with how many people I know who are pregnant, and even going on to have their second babies now

EllieWales · 31/08/2025 21:03

We’re not out until we’re out @Figtree11 often people say that the cycles where they had the least symptoms where when they actually conceived! I get it though, I think part of me doesn’t want to test because I know it will be negative and the thought of another month feels daunting. This is cycle 6 this year (third consecutive cycle - we took a break in between).

You might have a change of heart closer to testing time 😊 hoping for a lovely surprise for you

WF1990 · 31/08/2025 22:27

Hey girls, waiting for my LH peak which is probably due in 10 days πŸ₯²
so pretty relaxed so far , we will still give a shot at ttc even though I know we will likely need the medication to actually conceive.
ttc #1 for me, I think we’re coming to 13 cycles of trying. Starting to feel deflated but I’m sure the appt with the clinic soon will be positive.
you’re not out until Af shows! Don’t lose hope xxx

2dpo here, strangely enough I’ve also not had the same enthusiasm to allow myself to hope this cycle either 😟
I think after this one I might need to come off socials until Christmas/the new year to give myself a break from that, definitely know how it feels on that front!

Lh4503 · 01/09/2025 09:00

Aww girls, I know what you mean everyone on socials seems to be pregnant lately. I had a break a few weeks back and it did me good, so if it's getting to you definitely take some time away. Sorry your all feeling so deflated, it's really tough constantly being in this cycle and feeling like it's not going to happen. Sending you all hugs and make sure you take some time for you, treat yourself to something nice and hopefully the positivity will be back soon 🩷🩷

Figtree11 · 01/09/2025 12:58

Thanks @EllieWales very true, will just have to wait til the weekend & see what happens. I’m 2 years down the line now & not sure how much longer I can deal with it. How are you today?

@WF1990 the waiting is tough, I always wish time could speed up. This is the month of your appointment though 🀞🏻

@Insidemyownhead i’m sorry you are feeling deflated about it too. I definitely think I need to come off the socials too. It 100% puts me in a down mood when there is another announcement

@Lh4503 definitely agree that a break from socials is the way to go. I need to find something in an evening to occupy me. Hope you are doing ok

WF1990 · 01/09/2025 14:21

Hi ladies how is everybody feeling today ? πŸ’— I hope you’re all feeling a bit better.
im in the β€œ I don’t care β€œ pre ovulation phase which I always prefer since the 2WW drags !!

MegLS · 01/09/2025 14:23

@Lh4503 So sorry, hope you're doing okay🩷

@EllieWales How are you? Has AF made an appearance today? Got my fingers crossed for you!

I was previously just taking folic acid but my husband and I have just started the Pregnacare his and her for conception vitamins. Had some mixed reviews with a few people saying they really helped and others saying it made their cycles longer, but my luteal phase is often quite short so figured it might not hurt anyway! Has anyone had any experience with them?

WF1990 · 01/09/2025 15:56

@MegLS no experience but I take :
inosytol
coq10
vit d, c, b9, b12
omega 3

pretty sure the omega 3 is giving me heartburn though πŸ˜…

OP posts:
Lh4503 · 01/09/2025 16:54

@WF1990 I've just ordered coq10 to try too, how do you find it?

I've also got the usual conception vitamins and omega 3. I'll try anything at this point!

NatalieSF · 01/09/2025 19:43

@Lh4503so sorry for your loss, I hope your ok ❀️

Update on my side as I haven't been on for a bit. Cd9 on our 4th and potentially last cycle. Not due to ovulate for another week so it's just a waiting game atm.

@MegLSi used to take pregnacare but it gave me horrendous heartburn after and then someone told me it was full of fillers so I swapped over to naitre but tbh I don't know if they're any better 🀣

EllieWales · 01/09/2025 20:50

Hope everyone’s doing well.
I’m feeling a bit more positive today, not about this cycle just in general (which very like unlike me in the run up to AF πŸ˜…)

Both BBT and RHR were down this morning but still above baseline and no AF yet. If BBT and RHR dip further tomorrow morning then AF won’t be far behind

Lh4503 · 02/09/2025 13:00

@NatalieSF I'm okay, thank you ❀️

Keeping everything crossed for you this month 🀞 why potentially your last cycle?

@EllieWales good your feeling a bit more positive! Hopefully this is your month πŸ™‚

NatalieSF · 02/09/2025 13:18

@Lh4503we had a 34 week loss in February. She wasn't planned but after we lost her we decided we were would TTC but only for a few months aiming for a spring baby as I already have 3 summer babies and a winter and because I'm getting older now I eventually want to start thinking about my career as it's been on hold for 13 years. If we skipped the months I'm trying to avoid being due in I cant TTC again until May then who knows how long it would take to get pregnant. It makes me sad to think about giving up but I don't know if I could handle risking another birthday close together. My girls are already only 3 days apart πŸ™ˆ

Lh4503 · 02/09/2025 15:17

@NatalieSF oh my goodness im so sorry about your loss, that must of been awful ❀️πŸ˜₯
Ahhh I see, my gosh your girls are close together, hopefully this is the cycle.

EllieWales · 02/09/2025 16:38

@NatalieSF I’m sorry for your loss that’s so so sad πŸ˜” hoping it’s your month. We’ve booked a holiday for September next year and it’s getting a bit close for comfort with pregnancy timings, we might have to hold off TTC for a few months or see if we can defer it a year. Life is really hard to plan when TTC!

I’ve started spotting so AF is here onto the next cycle

Lh4503 · 02/09/2025 18:49

@EllieWales I know it's so hard to plan life while TTC, aww sorry that this wasn't the month ❀️

WF1990 · 04/09/2025 08:17

Hey girlies,

still waiting for ovulation on my side.
i have decided to stop the million supplements I was taking appart from folic acid because it gave me the worst ever heartburn !!!

@NatalieSF I’m so sorry for your loss this is awful bless you.

@Lh4503i found all my supplements on Amazon !

we have family over during this cycles ovulation window so we might not be able to DTD this cycle ! I’m not too bothered as I am due my fertility appt on 24th September so it might be a good β€œbreak” for me this month…

@EllieWaleslet us know how you’re getting on !

I hope everybody else is ok.
feeling a bit tired on my side, cycle 14 or 15 but we carry on ! πŸ™πŸΌ

OP posts:
Lh4503 · 04/09/2025 10:50

@WF1990 I've got some CoQ10 now πŸ™‚ never know if these supplements help or if they just cause more issues tbh.

Maybe taking the pressure off this month will be a good thing for you!

I'm in the same boat, waiting for ovulation again. I'm expecting it next week at some point if my body does the same as it did last loss. I have Dr's appointment today to discuss things but not sure what will happen from here.

NatalieSF · 04/09/2025 12:09

Thank you ladies it was definitely a life changing experience πŸ˜”

CD12 for me waiting for ovulation. Expected monday. I'm quite chill atm usually I'm LH testing all the time and trying to get my BBT on time but this month I'm just very meh πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€£ neither are going to get me pregnant so I'm not being strict with it. Will continue to LH test once a day until it starts to get darker but once ovulations over I'm going to try not to think about it 🀣 going on holiday on October 1st so either going to make the most out of all inclusive cocktails or make the most out of the toilet bowl 🀒🀣
