Ttc June/July 26

[theotherfossilsister]

I am out this cycle, anyone else want to join? Think I’ll ovulate around 29th June.

Ttc after an mmc and d and c in April, and took May off but think that was an anovulatory cycle anyway. Have a lovely three year old conceived through ivf.

Yep yep lol my cycles are a bit irregular - I have ovulated the same day the last 3 cycles but don’t trust that it’ll be the same again as it’s not always so feel like I’m just testing for so long, go through so many opk tests but hardly any pregnancy tests haha

I don't know if it helps to hear or not but a close family member got pregnant at 40. She was tracking ovulation but I don't know any more details that that. She had a healthy pregnancy.
A family friend got pregnant at 50 from a one night stand! A shock for her but she went through with the pregnancy and again it resulted in a healthy baby. I didn't know that was possible and I don't think she did either as she thought she was menopausal. Don't give up hope it can still happen.
I'm ttc #1 cycle 9 and it all seems so random. I can't believe that someone can get pregnant from a one night stand at 50 and here I am nearly coming up to a year of regular DTD and no sombrero but I guess that's how it goes.

Guys, would you input a withdrawal bleed in your apps as spotting or a period? Just curious on anyone's thoughts

I’m due on my period this week and I can’t help but symptom spot, obsess and overthink.

Really struggling not going to lie.

Solidarity with you here! I’m 7DPO and trying hard not to symptom spot but can’t help it. I woke up this morning with the most insane overnight acne out of nowhere.

Horrible isn’t it? I’m really questioning myself. Am I making this up or that up? Awful. Just want to know either way now.

@TheUniqueMember no I don't. Natural cycle you can log spotting instead of periods

Yes my apps have that option

Cycle day 9! Im using the digital ovulation this cycle.

I’m a day ahead of you - I’m on cycle day 10 today! I had loads of EWCM yesterday, so we DTD. I’m starting to think I ovulate earlier than I thought. Last month I noticed EWCM on day 8, then got positive OPKs on days 11/12. My cycles are only 24–25 days, so I reckon I ovulate pretty soon after the positive too.

We’re just aiming for every other day from cycle day 7 until my husband goes away on Sunday, so hopefully we’ve got all bases covered!

What’s your plan this cycle? We’re 9 months in and I feel like I can’t be bothered with the testing anymore and let nature take its course!

@AndyBerrick84 see my last cycle was long!!! Like 30+ days! But that was our first month so I didnt expect much from it. This month im going all out as id preferably like to fall this month as next month would land due date in April and there is way to many family birthdays in April 🤣🤣

As for this month we are dtd every other day til I get a high peak on my clearblue then be dtd every day for 3 days 🤣 he doesnt know this yet. Element of surprise ;). I used to fall pregnant easily but im 35 and also have endometriosis aswell as ovarian cysts so it may not be as easy as it used to be. How are you feeling this month? Are you doing it different to what you'd normally do xx

Hahaha, brilliant! 😂 That's pretty much the plan we're going with, every other day, then once I get my peak, we'll keep going!

I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I'm not sure he's got the stamina, but he's definitely enthusiastic, which is the main thing! 🤣

I'm running low on OPKs, so I might run out before I catch my peak, but my cycle has been pretty consistent over the last few months. I'm 38 and my partner is 42. This will be our first, and we've both had all the tests done and everything came back fine. I'm just hoping I've still got some good eggs left.

What symptoms do you have with your endometriosis and ovarian issues?

@AndyBerrick84
Its hard isnt because we want more and more to cover and they just be like cba sometimes haha!

I get alot of pain during sex, bleeding heavy with extreme pain that knocks me for six. I also get what I can only describe as some one stretching my insides around causing pain. I was trialled with alot of different contraceptives and it ended up being mirena coil that stopped the extreme bleeding I get the pains still but not as bad as they was.

Hopefully this is our month!!

I just got my first flashing smile on clearblue! Would you start dtd every day?

I’m cycle day 10 today! I think I’ll ovulate around cycle day 16 but let’s see.

So this cycle I have been taking it easy😊. Normally I ovulate on CD19 and I thought it would be the same. But my body had a different idea and ovulated 4 days earlier. 😆I did manage to dtd every day during my fertile window apart from the first two days. Today is 1/2 dpo and I really feel like I just finished my last 2WW.😅 I didn’t expect things to go so fast but hey it is a good thing. That means I can take my mind off ttc for now. 😁I will wait until AF arrives or test next weekend. Good luck everyone !❤

@LucyCL amazing! Im really nervous to start my 2ww i get so anxious I don't know why lol. With now having my.flashing smiley im going to try dtd every day. Cervix is high to point I cant find it 🤣

Getting the first flashing smile is always exciting for me and I always feel positive, happy and excited during my fertile window. In the past, I used to get anxious to start my 2WW when I was trying for No.1 . That is just because I had two early MCs. But now I just don’t have a lot of brain energy to feel anxious during 2ww. I really hope this is your month! Fingers crossed 🤞

Yes!x

Still waiting for my positive OPK! Tested this morning and it's still not quite dark enough. I've got plenty of other ovulation symptoms though, so we're just going to crack on. It's cycle day 12, and we've DTD on days 7 and 9, so it's time to ramp things up. My partner wasn't in the mood yesterday though! 🤣

My easy at home tests arent dark yet either but are getting there and reckon in a couple of days ill get a positive on that and the clearblue. Im doing both because last month I messed up with the paper strips so decided ill do both 🤣

@ByAquaFox me too! I got boots ovulation tests and they didn't turn positive at all but all the reviews said the same. Covering my back this time! I'm using premon and natural cycle now and they are giving slightly different indicators!

I think im just going with the clearblue ones mostly as I used those last baby and it was easy. X

Oh my God! I got my static smiley today! Now im gonna wake hubby up..

Question should I continue with the paper ones as that wasnt as dark as should be yesterday..

Anyone else getting towards end of the cycle and going insane with symptom spotting? I’m 10dpo, itchy nips, awful hormonal acne, increased discharge and feeling really tired but a BFN this morning ☹️ if all this is just pre period symptoms I’ll be gutted.
