2WW looking for company 😊

[Chikas]

4DPO, really tried to go it alone but think it may be nice to have some ladies to chat with and share experiences whilst we wait x

12DPO today - I decided to use my FRER test just out of curiosity. It's a BFN so I am counting myself out for this cycle. AF due in 2 days..

I just downloaded the FLO app, I have been using Premom but it crashes all the time so I am going to use FLO from now on.. Has anyone used it?

Wishing all you ladies luck for the next few days - hope to see lots of positive tests from you all x

Hi ladies, how has your day been?

I’ve had a busy one, so haven’t had much room to think. I’m sorry for those of you who have tested and believe you’re out - but maybe you’re not, you never know. Wishing us all baby dust either way x

I had a headache this morning, I don’t usually get them so there’s some symptom spotting for you 🙃 although I don’t know, I don’t feel pregnant, I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ It’s hard isn’t it. Only a few more days til we find out I guess.

Why don’t they make IVF cheaper and more accessible honestly. The technology has been out for years now - part of me thinks it’s a money making venture. It would really help a lot of women.

@thismonthsfad I use flo, premom and fertility friend just so I can compare.

I've just done an easy @ home test... BFN. I'm probably 10dpo... 11 at best. I hate these tests... the more you stare and the longer you stare, I start to see all sorts of lines! I've ordered some first response too given how everyone says they're the best. I have no willpower! I also have all manner of cramps and backache so I'm still assuming AF is nearly here for me!

Morning ladies - AF greeted me this morning, 2 days earlier than I expected. Well, that’s me out. I’m actually okay about it.

How are you guys getting on?

@HallidayJones6779 than BFN could still turn into a BFP, fingers crossed for you x

Will be on the side lines cheering you ladies on, baby dust ✨

Hi @Chikas how was your week working away?
sorry to hear about you AF arriving - I’m in a similar boat, I know it’s coming and would rather it just start right away lol. I’ve still got high temps, AF is due tomorrow or Thursday so expecting temps to drop any day now.

heyyy we can keep each other company next cycle ❤️❤️

Hiya @thismonthsfad I’m hoping AF stays away for you 🙃

Im okay - another busy Monday.

Ofcourse if AF shows up for any of you ladies I’d be happy to go into the next cycle with you 😊 Hopefully we can get some early Christmas news! Yey

Hey ladies, sorry to hear AF arrived @Chikas but I suppose we can see it as a new fresh cycle and another opportunity to get that BFP ! I’m due AF on Friday (thats if my body is cooperating) my last two cycles since I’ve come off the pill have been regular as clockwork so I’m hoping that trend continues and I’m not waiting 100+ days for af like I have in the past 😌

if my AF does show up I’ll be so happy to go into it with you ladies ! I’m currently 11dpo and feeling like AF is knocking at the door 😅 mood drop and the sore boobs I had have now vanished which is usually a tell tale sign she’s on her way in the next 1-2 days

hope you are all doing well ☺️

Hello gals 😊

We have been quiet today - are we all okay?

@Biscuitbaby2218 glad youve had regular cycles as the pill can be disruptive sometimes. How are you doing on the AF/testing front?

@Chikas bfn today at 13dpo so I’m pretty certain I’m out ! Just waiting for AF now, hope she turns up on time so I can get started on a fresh new cycle !

how are you ? ☺️

Hi ladies. My temps dropped this morning so I am definitely out. AF will arrive later today or tomorrow. I thought this would be the case for this cycle.
Still hope to see some BFPs from you ❤️

good luck for next cycle @thismonthsfad ❤️

im having a nightmare of a cycle 😅 on CD 31 of my hopefully 32 day cycle and having my THIRD batch of definite EWCM I had one lot on CD 13 and then another lot on CD 17 now more today on CD 31😩 I have a sneaking suspicion my pcos is feeling rather flared up and I’m having failed ovulations. (Unsurprising given how unpredictable my cycles are but they do average 32 days when you omit the random ridiculously long cycles)

if AF doesn’t come on Saturday I’m going to have to prepare myself for a long cycle I think. Makes my ttc annoyingly difficult as I’ll have the signs of ovulation that may or may not mean I actually ovulated and I’ll be none the wiser till 14 days later 😒 I’m really hoping this isn’t the case but it’s seeming suspiciously like my past extra long and cruel cycles.

if she doesn’t show I’m going to be playing BD roulette and hope my body can get its act together and actually release an egg and hope by some miracle there’s something there to greet and fertilise it 😮‍💨.

im not feeling too disheartened as I conceived DS on a bad cycle. Didn’t test positive with him til CD 67 so must have ovulated some time in the 2 weeks before that. Means tracking, testing and keeping in the loop with you ladies a bit more difficult though 🫣 I’ll do my best and I’ll be here to cheer you guys on regardless !! 😊❤️

@thismonthsfad @Biscuitbaby2218 - sorry to hear you're both likely out this month ladies. Praying for you all!!

I've actually had a positive on an easy at home test. It's early days and the line is very very faint and hasn't really developed over the last two days to entirely possible it's a chemical. Only time will tell! I'll keep you ladies posted. I really am praying for you all.

Hiya everyone.

@Biscuitbaby2218 sorry to hear about your BFN, will be with you in the next cycle. Also re your PCOS that’s annoying, do you take any supplements for it to help regulate?

@thismonthsfad you’re not out til she actually shows her face, but you know your body, so we will go next cycle 😊

@HallidayJones6779 tentative congratulations, really hope it all work out for you. We will be here to offer support whatever the outcome. Hope you’re okay x

Haven't been on for beginning if week.
Catching up now

@Chikas sorry to hear AF arrived, on to t anew month, will you continue for next month?
@Biscuitbaby2218 same to you! Interesting to hear about more than 1 batch of ewcm I have been experiencing alot of this at the moment, I can't continously be ovulating?
You mentioned pcos and thinking its this flaring up? - assuming this has happened before?
Hope your ok and on to next month ❤️

@HallidayJones6779 congratulations in order let us know how you get on!

@thismonthsfad not out until AF shows keep positive!

As for me no sign of AF its been 5 weeks but post mini pill so who knows.. lots of ewcm so just all.confused.

@Chikas i take metformin and inositol ☺️

@Orangeroses243 yess i was diagnosed with pcos at 16 ! My longest ever cycle was 216 days !!! I have learnt a lot since then and have managed to get my cycles to roughly 32 days give or take a few days but every now and then I do still unfortunately have a cycle that is 40- 80 days long roughly. Basically my body will attempt to ovulate I will get an LH spike and all the ovulation signs but fail to actually release an egg and my body will keep attempting ovulation until an egg is finally released then I will get af if conception didn’t happen of course, hence the obscenely long cycle every now and then.

Heya hun,

sorry to hear about the inconsistency you’re experiencing. Are you continuing to ttc anyway just in case?

Yes, we will continue trying next cycle 😊 what can we do? Just have to press on 😬

hiya 🙃

Ive heard good things about myova care? Ladies who have PCOS have had really good experiences. Have you heard of it?

@Chikas yes still going to continue ttc ! Conceived my son on a long cycle so it’s still possible ☺️

not heard of myova!! I’ll look into it for sure ! Thank you

@Biscuitbaby2218 wow 216!! Ournbodies are all so different and amazing! How frustrating at the same time too! Sounds like you know your body well!! As you said your son was conceived this way so the time will.come, its just when isn't it.
Your explanation was so clear, I dont have pcos however due to the symptoms i am having i just wondering if my body is doing something similar and trying to pop ans egg out and just failing due to hormone regulation from pop. - by the sounds of it i am certainly not as clued up as yourself.

@Chikas exactly nothing we can do but wait for our time ✨️💖 absolutely just going to keep dtd and see what happens and wait it out. I did loads of tests like a week ago and all negative decided I am not buying anymore 🙃 I have one digital in the cupboard I am saving. Maybe in a weeks time il order aome amazon ones? I ive heard alot of people saying they were a good price for a multipack....save me some £.
So yeah will test in a couple weeks if no Af. And just keep testing every two weeks
..
Nothing else I can really do as you said is there.

Hiya Ladies,

Happy new week and happy new cycle (well me anyway).

Im on CD7 today, so will start ovulation testing and the BDing that comes with it 😬

What are your strategies this cycle ladies? Is anyone doing anything differently?

I hope you’re all well x

Hey @Chikas ! Happy new cycle ! I’ve literally just started bleeding the tiniest bit 😅 I’ll see if it gets heavier tonight or not, if it does it’s definitely AF a few days late !

if it is AF I’ll be starting the countdown again along with you ! (At least I’ll have I’m a celeb to keep me occupied during the countdown to fertile window )

hope you're doing well lovely ☺️

Hiya @Biscuitbaby2218 hope you’re good?! Did AF show up for you?

Im on CD9 now, started ovulation testing yesterday.

Hows your week been?

Hi ladies, hope you don’t mind if I jump on. I’m on CD27 with my period due tomorrow. Also either 10 or 11 DPO according to my natural cycles app. My temperature dropped to the baseline yesterday but went up again today and I’ve taken a test and I’m pretty sure it’s negative but there is possibly the very faintest line? Might be wishful thinking. Hard work all of this isn’t it 😥

Hi @LifeByTheSea123 Dont rule it out - I definitely see a line. Tentative congratulations-do let us know how you get on x

Hi @Chikas - thank you ☺️. The other few I have taken over the last few days have been stark white 😂. So we will see how tomorrow goes xx
