So, a little background in case you've missed me previously - we started trying in April 2020 so this is cycle 4. After this month, we are pausing trying until January 2021. This is due to a family holiday booked with TUI in July 2021 which was booked before we decided we wanted any more than the 2 we already have. TUI will only allow baby from 8 weeks old to fly so can't have a baby in that May/June time frame next year and also don't want to be too heavily pregnant when we go so holding off til January 2021 helps avoid that!
Cycle 1 - April 2020 - 27 day cycle
Cycle 2 - May 2020 - 32 day cycle
Cycle 3 - June 2020 - 29 day cycle - vvvvf positive HCG test on CD 30 which became CD1 for July so looking like a very early chemical - had massive and tender boobs also, dizziness and nausea. In 2012 when I fell pregnant with DS, we had a miscarriage and then fell pregnant with DS straight after so hoping maybe my body was prepping this cycle?
So this month I visited a spiritual shop and got Australian Bush Flower Essences - Woman Essence as well as some Chakra meditation stones. Not something I have ever been a big believer in but figured what's the harm. I've been using the essence with 7 drops under my tongue twice a day since AF finished and this month, for the first time, I got EWCM! Could be coincidence but who knows! I've also had less baths, less gin and generally been a bit more chilled with a week holiday between AF and the fertile week. I'm 2 DPO today - no symptoms yet really other than tiredness but will wait and see. Peak opk was Thursday 16th July (CD17) and Friday 17th July (CD18) - Femometer predicts O as Saturday 18th July (CD19). We have DTD CDs 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20 - surely we covered our bases??
My plan is to start testing on Monday 27th (CD28, 9DPO) but will use this forum to track my symptoms etc.
Praying for a this month!! I am so impatient so waiting until January 2021 will be hellish
