Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

selement

Still no AF. On the bright side I'm hoping this increases chances of it not timing with holiday... on the negative I guess I'm back to my pre pill irregular AF:( it's awkward wheb it's hard to predict

I know it's a bit sad to get excited but just had my first peak on my cbfm and a raging opk too. Time to chase that egg!!

Skimper How long are your cycles? It's best to DTD before ovulation, as once it's occured it's too late. On a 28 day cycle, from day 8 is best, then every other day until OV has happened.

Now I've signed up to the CB trial, I'm getting cold feet abuot the whole TTC thing! I did this last time too, though I was already up the duff then so it was too late to back out! (didn't know I was pregnant for another week or so though!)

Rambosmum I'm not sure, its my first AF in about 3 years because i've been on the pill. Will start from day 8 just to be on the safe side!

PKK - with being snowed in last week I took notice of how much i was eating, and how much was really unhealthy. Feel like my eyes have been opened very wide. I usually walk to work as I don't live that far away but with the freezing mornings and awful weather I've been driving the car and i think this lack of exercise (albeit only a little) is having an effect.

Feeling more positive today which is good, hopefully this stays. I was a complete moody mare last night, my poor OH.

I got a high on my CBFM today as my estrogen is rising, apparently, but it's pretty early in my cycle so I think it's just learning what my levels are and stuff. I'll probably get highs for another week or so until I get peak, judging on when I've ovulated previously, but we'll see. Annoyingly I think my parents are going to be visiting bang in the middle of fertile week, so we'll have to figure something out!

Hi ladies,
I enjoy reading how you are all getting on and do feel as if we are in this together! After feeling fed up at the end of cycle 4 I am invigorated and eager this month! AF has ended and I have received my conceive plus and clear blue trial kit! Unfortunately I am in the control group so must be restrained and not use and OPKs for the next 2 cycles. Maybe this will make me more relaxed? Who knows, anyway please can I move into if in doubt xx

athensgeorgia

I know I've been absent of late, it's been too long TTC and feeling deflated, but yes I am CD53 today. Another reason to be feeling deflated. I'm going to spend the next day or so catching up on nearly 2 months of posts.

Skimper !!!8211; I!!!8217;m not sure when you officially move over to when in doubt. Some like to do it when AF leaves, some when they know ovulation is imminent. Just give me a shout when you want to move over. I used the clearblue OPKs and they gave suggestions of when to start them depending on your cycle length. I started on CD10 the first time and CD12 the second. I OV on CD 20 and CD 21 in these two cycles.

Selement !!!8211; I hear you on the hard to predict annoyance! AF is now 9 days overdue so realistically I could come on anyday, but could also be weeks away! I have given up being overly cautious as I would do when AF is due. Even rebooked by bikini wax I cancelled as AF was due, although knowing my luck she will show on the day I have rebooked it for!

Tryingin2018 !!!8211; good luck chasing! Enjoy!

Rambosmum !!!8211; what is making you get coldfeet about TTC?

AthensGeorgia !!!8211; Welcome back, sorry to hear you have been feeling deflated. Have you had a long cycle like this before? I am CD42 and it is the first time I!!!8217;ve had a cycle last this long and it is starting to annoy me!

I tried another branded HPT tonight, negative as expected. So I think it is fair to say I am 100% sure I!!!8217;m not pregnant now. I am hoping AF comes towards the end of next week and it is just an odd cycle and there!!!8217;s no underlying issue. Still no pms symptoms or spotting which I usually get so I don!!!8217;t think it is due too soon.
