I’ve downloaded Premom and bought the tests to try and track ovulation (see if I actually am ovulating!) as ive been relying heavily on apps, which is crazy. I can’t actually do anything about it, even if I get peak, unless immaculate conception is a thing? And if it is, then I’m here for it!!

Flo says this is my fertile week, but I’ve been getting Lows so far!! Will be interesting to see what happens.
I always found flo and Premom completely out of sync with each other! Not sure which one is more accurate but I’ve stuck with pre-mom so I could monitor my OPK’s easier!

I’m not doing any of them now though as I was starting to get a bit obsessive and it was taking over my life 🤣

Always good to know where your body is up to! ☺

I use Premom along with the strips and also Fertility Friend is quite awesome

I used Flo, but tbh we just DTD every other day and then every day when I was around the time I thought I was ovulating and that coincided with Flo.

I think Flo is only really useful if you're *regular* which isn't likely for most people!

Well after my post yesterday, I just tested and got a peak on both my cheapy OPK and CB digital 🥳 CD19.

We have been doing sperm meets egg plan to time DTD (every day was too much and we got tired and sick of each other last month 😂) so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

I have three apps (the shame!) and Flo is the worst at the moment for predicting 🤣
 
I've found out 4 people, 2 of which are close friends are pregnant in the last couple of days and I'm trying my best not let it get at me.
Done quite well so far, I've been far worse about other pregnancies. However I'm 13 dpo and know that I will not feel the same very soon..... I will be a mess.
Especially when they are accidental/haven't tried for long and then there's me still trying over here.
Until you TTC and until you struggle with it, I don't think anyone can understand the emotional roller-coaster it is. I actually find it all exhausting.

It’s like a punch to the gut every time you see an announcement isn’t it? 😩

nothing wrong with protecting your heart 😌 I’ve been on both sides of this so know how hard infertility is. Now that I’m pregnant, I’m acutely aware of how others feel. I haven’t done any grand announcements on social media etc. I would also understand if friends who are trying to conceive keep their distance x

That's good that you are understanding. If I get my turn, I will also always always be careful and understanding of people TTC now I know what it's like. One of the hardest parts is people not getting it and telling you what to do and how to feel and just relax, it makes it even lonelier. it is ALWAYS people who conceived easily and have no clue that tell you 'just stop thinking about it' and act like it's obvious as well xx
Wishing you a healthy pregnancy ♥❤

I feel like a witch but I just dread it and it makes me so sad. Then I feel awful because of the guilt of feeling that way. Xx

It is so tiring. Feel like it rules my life in a way. I haven't lived a normal life where I don't have to think about days of the month and period upset and just having sex when I want to without thinking of fertile days for so long... Then the obvious upset of it all. Sometimes I just don't want to do it anymore. But then I think of a baby and so I have to x

thank you. I think long term infertility forever changes you and people just don’t understand. Wishing everyone on this thread so much luck. I’m proof that miracles can happen xxx

Do you guys have cycles where you just feel like it’s not gonna be the one?

My husband and I both seem to have gotten really pessimistic this cycle, and we are only on cycle 2! I just feel like I know it’s not going to happen this month but I’m not sure why.

Hello my lovely ladies 🤍 I am joining you back on this thread. As some of you might know I got my positive test at the start of April... I’m so desperately sad to write this here but

unfortunately we found out at the 12 week scan this week that I’d had a missed miscarriage. Our baby had stopped growing at around 8 weeks and no longer had a heartbeat. I’m still in shock really at how that can happen and you don’t even know.

Anyway, I am back. Absolutely terrified to get back on this journey if I’m completely honest. Will be waiting around the next few weeks for my first post MC period - not sure how long that’ll take and then I don’t think I’ll track ovulation for a few months as I was getting obsessed before. Just going to go with the flow.

Hope you’re all doing okay ☺☺🤍
Sending you lots of love. I had a MC a month ago and it really is shocking when it happens. Always here if you need to chat x

So we didn’t end up DTD lastnight as my son is poorly! Think I’ll be out this month, I really didn’t expect to ovulate this early especially with my cycles being 35-37 days and it’s only CD13. We DTD twice over weekend so that will have too do.
Hate how it’s all got to feel so planned etc, if I have been ovulating around CD14-15 each month then we have been timing it wrong for 5 cycles 😅xxx

Yes, for the past 5 cycles I feel like this. I think it’s because I naturally think the worse and struggle to be positive when I want something so much. I fell pregnant in January after only 1 month off pill and couldn’t believe it, but that sadly ended in MC so now I just feel like it’s never going to happen for some reason.xxx

Had a BFP on a digital last Monday, but have had a negative on a digital today, I’m 5 +3 by my dates. Got an appointment in the EPU tomorrow but I’m very anxious! I’ve still got all the symptoms 😭

Thinking of you! ❤ If you don’t mind me asking, have you had any bleeding?
Xx

Hi ladies,

I have a question.
Since I got my static smiley peak face yesterday which was CD12, when would you test? As for the past 4 cycles I have had 32-39 days worth of cycles so never in a million years thought I’d get a peak this early; according to my app AF isn’t due till 10th July due to the length my cycles have been…

When would you test? 2 weeks after expected ovulation?
Thanks xxx

Nope, no bleed no pain, still constantly feel sick and my boobs are really sore xx
 
Hi ladies I had my scan today and the ultrasound technician couldn’t find any obvious lumps or cysts but said that her full report would be with my gp tomorrow morning. I’ve got a telephone Gp appointment on Thursday to talk through the steps for me. Doc briefly explained we would talk about the options of medications/ referral to the fertility department at the hospital. I’m feeling very hopeful/thankful

sending you all love 💗
