Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 12

Izadora

I've been checking in - congratulations to the positives - but nothing really to report. CD21 and 10DPO(at a guess).

OH wasn't well during the time we could've conceived so am absolutely certain there's nothing doing this month. I'm feeling very meh about the whole thing and am considering not bothering trying at the end of this month as then it means at least I can drink over Christmas and New Year. I kind of feel like even if we did try it's not going to happen so what's the point in bothering, at least if I know there's no chance of me being pregnant I can't be quite so disappointed when my period arrives.

Just popping in to say I'm still not pregnant. In the 2WW wait now.

I'm here, just have no updates! Think I'm about cd 68! Longest one this year, so frustrating as I thought I was starting to get slightly more regular, but no, just my body being rubbish!

I do have a gp appointment on Saturday so I'm going to see if they will refer me to the f's, gingers crossed they will.

I'm 4 days until test/AF depending how things have went.

Trying not to symptom spot to the point that I'm banning myself from googling anything! Really don't think so though as just feels like regular build up to AF!

CD18 & nothing much to report. Not sure when ov was - some spotting Tues & Wed, but had more ov-like symptoms last week. Hope it was last week, been feeling under the weather again, so no bding since last week.

Do you do OPKs angel? Mine's been so weird this month, they're normally a good indication but never got a +ve this month despite EWCM etc. Aren't our bodies strange?!

I've taken the plunge though and deleted Glow, as well as MyFitnessPal. Tracking so much stuff was driving me nuts! I'm keeping FF just so I know what cycle day I'm on, but not going to track any more than that.

Feeling freer already

Cats fx feeling freer leads to bfp for you!!

I thought about starting opks, but I tend to let things take over my life the more I think/control/plan them, & I'm trying really hard atm to play it cool & not let ttc take over. I guess I'm kinda worried that starting them will be a slippery slope to this taking over my thoughts every minute of every day. I probably sound like a right loony now lol.

Stopped taking mini-pill early June, 1st af late July & now on cycle 4 ttc, so I'm guessing my body is still adjusting to normal cycles (I'd been on different types of birth control for almost 15 years, & hadn't had af in about 4 years!!) I think I might wait until new year & then consider opks. Are they easy to use/understand?

angel11

Think poor you, you're hormones must be all over the place!! The cycle I had was 56 days & that was bad enough!

Tata will you hold off until af is due before testing??

ThinkPink

It's so frustrating ! We've been ttc for over two years and my cycles have ranged from approx 40 days to 170 days. Since my mmc in Dec my cycles have mostly been around d 40 days, I had one that was 60 days and then I have this one which is about 70 days now! I've spent the last three days with af pains, but nothing has appeared yet. Will see what the gp says tomorrow! !

Angel, yeah probably. Although I've had a lot of cramping and sore boobs so I'm pretty sure AF is on the way - hence why I haven't tested..

Think pink sorry to hear you are feeling frustrated, the long cycles really did my head in.
