CD33 of what is predicted to be a 40 day cycle for me... 7 day countdown until testing day! I bet this next week drags! Going to try to keep busy to keep my mind off testing because I know I can be a POAS addict!

Had a few strange tastes in my mouth yesterday and today, yesterday it was a metallic taste and this morning it has been a weird sour taste. Trying to not symptom spot but I just can’t help it haha x

Hi, Can I join?

I have been following this thread for a while and it seems like a great place to share stories, you all seem to support each other.

I am 34, TTC our first (but my husband has kids from a previous marriage). This is our 9th cycle.

Could you put me down for testing on the 19th please?

Hello and welcome Hendy
We definitely do support each other, the TTC journey can be stressful so we love to vent, chat, and give advice whenever needed.
Good luck in your journey x

You can get through the next 7 days
If you feel you need to POAS get the OPK’s out and use hem instead. Xx

I am 30 (nearly 31) and on 3rd cycle, but off the pill nearly 4 months now. TTC first baby.

chattychar1990 that is weird that we seem to have had identical situations/cycles - glad its not just me! and its good to actually have somewhere to chat about all this! don't really have anyone around me in the same situation - in fact the opposite most of my friends have had their babies and trying not to get pregnant!

Always here if you need a chat Mandy

OK So strangest thing happened today so after a BD session i saw some pink blood but nothing like period but enough to notice it. Also cramping followed it and my ovaries are very sore. I am a bit worried now as I am 8dpo. Anyone knows if this could be implantation bleeding or there is something I should worry?

Maximus I don’t think it’s anything to be worried about hun. It may well be implantation bleeding. I have bleed the last 2 days but only when I wiped. Let’s hope it’s a good sign for the both of us

Hi, I am 37 and my husband is 42. This TTC is for our first baby together but we both got children by previous marriage. I got a 18 years old girl and a 9 years old boy, he got a 15 years old boy and a 10 years old girl.

We are also ttc our first baby together, in addition to my daughter from previous long term relationship, my oh has 2 daughters aged 6 and 9 from a long term relationship. It's exciting the thought of having our first together, for me it's just as exciting as when i ttc my daughter. X

I’m 39 and my partner is 33. We’re ttc our first baby. I came off the pill last October and got pregnant in February only to miscarry nearly 7 weeks later. We took a month off and this will be our 5th cycle however timing wasn’t great with work trips for both of us so this one is probably a bust.

I’m currently 2 dpo so it’ll be a long wait to this next cycle!

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage, must have been awful for you.

I have same predicament with ov due next weekend when I'm away with work!

Sending you lots of x

Welcome hendy! Good luck

So I've had more stark white opks. I'm cd12 now. Obviously the ewcm and cramps had me thinking yesterday could have been O day but I just don't know. Now my Ovia app has changed my predictions for my fertile period as having finished on the 28th but I don't really get that and it wants me to test on Sunday but I'm not due af until the 16th so god knows!! I reckon this cycle is just a mess now lol. Confusing!

Hello newbies! Lovely to have more people to share this crazy journey with

I'm CD 4 and AF has gone. Very weird cycle. So heavy and crampy the first 2 days, yesterday wasnt too bad in the morning but still medium flow. Then by the evening it had stopped, like someone just turned off a tap! Really strange! Another 6 days before I begin my opks. I've got some dodgy looking opks, order from amazon something like 40 opks and 10 hpt for £4.99. No wonder, only got half a strip lol haha. They are half the width of the normal one step strips I've had before. Lord knows if there going to work so will be keeping an eye on my cm and ov pains for sure! This is what happens when I try to get value for money coz I'm a POAS addict haha

Try pulling your data into FF and see what happens,

So I found out my sister is 17 weeks pregnant today, I am very happy for her, just jealous. She lost a baby at 23 weeks not too long ago so she really deserves it.

It’s awful isn’t it! I just found out that my partners sister-in-law is 16 weeks along, she had to get a doner egg and all I could do was burst into tears when he told me instead of being immediately happy for her since she’s obviously had a tough time.

It makes me feel like an horrible person, that the right reaction isn’t an immediate one

Is there any way you can just DTD every other night anyway? It might be hard but atleast you know your covered? x

Vespa your not a horrible person
I don't know if its just because we are TTC but i feel like wherever i look and everyone around me is pregnant. A girl in work is 20 weeks and only found out yesterday i said 'was you trying' and she said 'well not really, we knew it was going to happen eventually' i kind of wish i had that outlook but i really am not that chilled.

I am having negative OPK too and we are at the same point....this morning I got EWCM but OPK negative again. I don't know if for me can be the miscarriage, but as chattychar said BD every other day, just to be on the safe side

 

[EmmaN27]

I'm on CD6 and AF is still here, so fed up with this now, this has been the longest and heaviest AF I've had. Not sure of it's a good or bad sign?!

Going to start testing on OPKs from CD9, positive OPK was CD14-15 last cycle. X

I'm not really spotting many symptoms.
My boobs are still very heavy, they have been for a few days now. My skin isn't looking amazing. Had a few very sharp shooting pains on the right hand side of my stomach last night but they went very quickly. No more blood since i mentioned yesterday.
Should i be feeling tired if i have conceived? because i am no more tired than what i normally am.
Don't want to convince my self that i have conceived and be let down but i do think that i havent this month, surely i should be spotting more symptoms?
I have a clear blue digi and 2 cheap pink dye's at home waiting for Tuesday... i really hope i don't cave and test early! x
