Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

I'm a slimmer too, a very slow one! Took me over a year to lose 1.5stone, but I've kept it off and am still at target a year later. My aim is to try and stay within target range for the first 12 weeks, so that gives me 3lb to play with. After that I'll feel better telling the consultant so she doesn't make me pay whilst I put on weight!

Hi, my app tells me that I ovulated yesterday so can I be moved to 2WW please?

Also, I have a question for you all. A friend and I usually go on a spa day once a year in July, and she has text to ask to organise this one. She has chosen a spa near her parents so we would stay with them night before. We have already put wknd in our diaries, and unfortunately I am meant to ovulate on the Sunday! I'm not sure whether to a) say yes and organise, if pg then just use pool/sleep pods/aromatherapy room if not pg then miss trying that month, b) ask to arrange something else and tell her we are TTC or c) ask to arrange something else and make up an excuse as to why.

What are your thoughts?

Hi Sakurah,

Personally i would go to the spa and have a lovely time with my friend. I wouldn't change what i do to fit my cycle, unless you were pregnant as you say, you'd just avoid what you can't do.

Cd 1 here a 26 day cycle I knew it would be a short one for me, but I don!!!8217;t think Ovias predictions are much of a help tbh.

Last month I had a 32 day cycle normally I am 30-31 days anything else is out of the ordinary, no symptoms of AF last month either so was convinced I was going to see a BFP, Ovia didn!!!8217;t predict a longer or shorter cycle just the usual despite my longer cycle, and now this month AF has arrived 6 days or so early and nothing changes on Ovia my fertile window stays the same, I have not heard anything from the clearblue trial either this should be my second month but I have had nothingsent to me and now AF is here there is no point me testing even if they sent me something !!!!!!

I am feeling really disheartened now I have tbh why can my body not do the one thing it!!!8217;s desigbed to do. At my wits end.

How is everyone else feeling? Xxx

Sakurah, I agree with HappyLassie. I am making plans as normal, and if I get pregnant then I will change or amend them accordingly. I think if you hold off doing things that will only make you feel worse and more resentful if it doesn!!!8217;t happen when you think it will as you then miss out on things. My cousin has been TTC for almost 2 years and is under a fertility specialist. She told me a few months ago that her advice to anyone would be not to put their life on hold whilst they are trying, as you don!!!8217;t know when it will happen. She put off planning things when TTC for the !!!8216;we may be pregnant by then!!!8217; reason and this only added to her feeling upset. Plus if it!!!8217;s only when you are ovulating that you are due to be away this doesn!!!8217;t count you out for that month anyway! Sperm lasts up to 5 days so just make sure you get bus BDing in the couple of days before going! And most importantly, enjoy your wonderful spa days (it sounds like bliss to a tired teacher right now!) and a good old catch up with your friend, that relaxtion will do TTC a world of good too!

KatieBee123, I am sorry the witch has got you! Ovia will work on a formula to predict your fertile time. One shorter or longer cycle won!!!8217;t completely change it, as it will go on averages over the time you have been logging your cycles. I only log my AFS, not EWCM etc, and I have noticed that the cycle length if just an average of all the cycles I have logged. Have you tried OPK!!!8217;s? That!!!8217;s strange that you haven!!!8217;t heard from the CB cycle, I got my second pack much earlier than I needed it. It might be best to drop them an email!

I am feeling ok at the moment. BD again last night, had a teeny bit of bleeding. Fertile window starts today accordingly to Ovia, so we will keep trying to do it every other day and hope the bleeding doesn!!!8217;t get too bad!

I've not heard from the trial this cycle yet either KatieBee, I had to test on the 12th last month so was expecting the same ish this month. Big hugs for you anyway, I can imagine the frustration x

Sakurah – I agree with the above advice, I think you should go and enjoy a relaxing spa day with your friend. It will help your mind and body relax.

My AF arrived today, slightly later than expected, but I am still trying to work out my cycle length.

I have ordered some ovulation tests and will start using these moving forward.
