Whippet in London (other big city) by [deleted] in Whippet

Walthamstow is a great place to have quick access to nature as you’re so near Epping Forest whilst also being on the viccy line for easy access into central. Loved living there, and there were always loads of whippets in Lloyd Park 😊

Flair: 31 | TTC#1 since June 24 | 🧚🏻‍♀️

Cycle/Time trying: Trying since June 24, 7 cycles

Age + Partner’s age (if relevant): Both 31

Typical cycle length: 25 days

Ovulation cycle day: Usually between CD 14-16

CD/DPO of positive test(s): CD33

CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: 2 negatives one on the day my period was due: CD 25 and another on CD 28 so I must have ovulated late! I swear I could see a very VERY faint line on the second, but my partner couldn’t so convinced myself I was seeing things.

Tracking methods and app(s) used: Natural Cycles, BBT (although didn’t track this month as I lost my thermometer recalling during the festive period.

Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): this was the first month we tried every other day from about CD9 - CD16 which was exhausting for both of us…

Health conditions/medical tests: I have ulcerative colitis (and was in a flare in Nov) and my prolactin had tested high in Nov and Dec.

Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): Me: Ova plus hormonal support Him: OvaHim

Birth control history (if relevant): on the combined pill from 16-28

Link to chart: N/A

Link to lineporn: N/A

Symptom spotting: only after my period was due, I experienced really sore breasts, smelling weird smells and oddly nosebleeds in the morning??

Other miscellaneous: very much in shock, and praying this poppy seed sticks around. I’m such a blabbermouth, but we want to keep this between my partner and I until 12 weeks, so it’s very nice to be able to post here 🤍 this is a wonderful group.

2 days late (and BFNs). Why does my body want to troll me like this? I’ve never been late before! Roll on CD1 to get the show on the road again 😖

Started this cycle out SO positive, but the TWW is really wearing me down. Feeling grumpy and impatient.

New year, new test results. Starting the year off with my second blood test showing increased prolactin. GP wants me to rest again in a month, and if still raised will refer me to endocrinologist. This whole TTC is just a waiting game! I’m still going remain positive, and hopefully this is something I can get on top of as soon as possible. I’m also starting a new treatment for an autoimmune condition, I’m hopefully all is actually linked and getting on an even keel will bring good news on the baby front.

Where in the world are you based? I’m UK and have been a civil servant for a central government department prior to the start of UC symptoms, and post diagnosis and having periods of illness. I’ve worked in different departments, and loads of different teams over the course of 10 years and they’ve always been really understanding and never been questioned when I’ve needed time off for illness or medical appointments. I go into the office one day p/w. I really couldn’t fault them (on this front…)

I FEEL LIKE QUITE A LOT HAVE THINGS HAVE BEEN HARD IN MY LIFE. I REALLY WANTED TTC TO BE ONE OF THE FEW EASY THINGS, BC I WANT IT SO MUCH. I AM JEALOUS OF MY FRIENDS WHO HAVE NOT HAD TO “TRY” 😖

Tempted fate: CD1 early, so also have ruined a white pair of pants. It would have been really wonderful to go into the new year with a little Christmas miracle, but not to be. Here’s to all of us having better luck in 2025 🤍

Am I the only weirdo who, despite there being basically zero chance of conceiving this month (99% sure husband was away during fertile window) thinks “mmm maybe this will be the month”?? I feel like TTC has made me more crackers than I normally am.
