Just had my ovulation pain! Now keeping my fingers crossed! I feel good about this month though! Let the longest waiting game begin!

Hi ladies,
I took a break from the forum for a bit as I’ve been really deflated about ttc. My testing day this month is around 14th October.
I’ve decided to do no OPKs and go with what my body is telling me, along with my Ovia app. OH is coming off 7 days of 12 hour shifts so hoping the timing is right

He is due to be away soon so this really could be our last cycle for the remainder of the year which is not a nice feeling.

Good luck to everyone ttc this month x

Im the same mrswoody, took a break. This month im using no apps, no temps and no opks. Im just going to dtd every other day and see how we get on that way. Good luck x

I got a positive feeling too! I am 2DPO and I am already impatient lol

Morning all!

I’m 7dpo today. This is the part of the cycle where I really start to lose hope. I’m always so excited for the first week and then when I move into the second week and think I should be feeling things I get deflated when I don’t.

I could feel it by 9dpo last time. Not going to focus too much on it in the next couple of days, my luteal phase is normally 12 days so 5 days to testing if AF doesn’t get me first.

7dpo, that was quixk. Well it probably wasbt but it seems it. This bit is reallt hard but by now weve done all we can so have to wait and see. Can yiu do somethibg nice to take your mind off? The weather has been glorious, im hoping to go for a walk later x

 

[Vespa]

I agree! It was quick!

OH is back from a business trip so will just be nice to spend some time with him this evening. Then we’ll mostly be packing and organising things for the house move. Get the keys on the 9th.

How was your temperature this morning? A walk sounds lovely, I’ll go to the gym later, try to work some of it out

 

[Crumble]

Get distracted Vespa, unfortunately there is much we can do than wait uff, but we got each other and this is a very nice thing

Hey Vepsa,
I am 9DPO but obviously over on the September thread. You will only be testing a few days after me. I have a countdown of 3 days until i test.
How have your temps been looking? I don't seem to have had a massive dip as of yet which would say i implanted but when googling it says it doesn't need to be a massive dip to confirm it. Is that correct?
I am feeling a little deflated too, thinking it isn't going to be my month but i want to try and stay positive. x

 

[Radleycat]

We are both off today but then I'm working nights Saturday and Sunday, in freshers week in one of the biggest university cities in the country. Great. See how my tolerance for drunk crying 18 year old lasts.

Temp went up so if it goes up again that confirms ov was weds (CD 14) and today I'm 2dpo. Look at me pretending I understood all along... Thanks so much for the help.

And hi to ladies I've not spoken too, to all xx

 

[EmmaN27]

So jealous of you ladies being in your 2ww, sending you lots of

I'm CD5 today, looks like AF has pretty much finished (fingers crosesd!) which I'm very very happy about, hoping to BD tonight! haha x

 

[EmmaN27]

Mystery26, please can I update my testing date to 22nd, going by app x

 

[Radleycat]

Mystery, could I also change mine to the 11th please? App is saying 10th but iF my luteal is the same as last month I think it makes it the 11th

You don’t need a massive dip, I’ve seen a lot of charts that didn’t. I did have a dip on my chart in February when I got my bfp though.

My temps are okay I suppose, slight downwards trend since 5dpo that I’m trying not to overanalyse. None of the boob soreness I had with other cycles and lots of creamy cm. That’s the only differences though and I’m not reading into them!

As Crumble says, we’ll get through it together

Ugh, freshers! Let’s hope it’s only drink! I work in a toxi lab.

I used to make drugs of abuse tests - the sh#t people take is unreal. And now at work - spice, nightmare. I can imagine the things you find!

Waiting for another spike tomorrow and wondering why the blueberries haven't shown up yet, lol

 

[Vespa]

Yeah, these new psychoactives are a nightmare! Give me the old reliables any day!

Blueberries - still cracks me up

 

[Radleycat]

The only blueberries I want in this house are going in pancakes

Feel a bit rough today actually. Completely exhausted from two shifts that weren't that busy really. Already wondering if anything is sticking, I will have totally tortured my brain by testing day

 

[Mystery26]

Updated to here and just trying to keep busy and not symptom spot

 

[EmmaN27]

Just ordered some more OPKs and twin pack of FRERs as a payday treat for myself TTC life! x
