x

Ok so the achey boobs have gone and now i just have sensitive nipples. Cd43 today.

Yeah well it is for me Shan Kate I always breaks out in bad spots when I'm due on! So could be a symptom!

Is dats what dat is Chapman?

I had a huge break out of spots? And I cudnt understand why? I'm a make up artist and my skin is always clear as I use everything on my face professional cudnt understand why? Must of been AF the witch?

Yvonne - I'm due on on 10th-13th I start to get af symptoms about 3 days before like spots all on my chin etc il know I am coming on. If I don't come on by the 10th il think il do a test haha!! Fx for us both.
Shankate - thankyou lovely hoping so! Glad your ok now I know AF is horrible can get you so depressed focus on the positives and get doing the deed with DH! Fx for u xx

Hey girls sorry haven't been posting had a horrible few days :(
Chapman: those are good pregnant signs epically the metal taste FX hun x
Eggsinthefridge : I know how u feel iv been so stressed out over AF arriving and had a huge fight with DH and went on a drinking session until I came home last night ! Im sick of it to be quiet honest as my friends are coming out to be pregnant and I'm sitting like a selfish cow being jealous when I should be happy I can't even talk to them about being pregnant it drives me insane and had high hopes last month had loads of pregnancy signs :( it's not like me to go off drinking for 3 days!!! No sleep nothing I really hope it's a fresh start for me this month and I can stop stressing over not being pregnant!! Iv cried to much 😅
Sunny: also sending huge hugs ur way hun hope u get answer to like I said February is our month for our BFP 💜💜
Best of look girls on your positive OPKS hope the witch stays away for ye and yeah caught ov:)
So on cd6 and AF has finished DH is back my friend again and sorry he hasn't been here anyways honing TTC this weekend says my fertility window is open Monday and I should ov Saturday it was obvious right last month as got AF wen was suppose to
Sending my love to everyone 💜💜

When ru going to test? I think AF will be due the 18th so going to wait and then hopefully test on 19th if AF doesn't arrive xx

Yvonne that's the same as me! My positive opk was on Sunday we dtd on sat and Monday!! Hoping for our bfps xxxx

Aww that really is so sweet my DH doesn't really understand how tough it is as he thinks it's early days still as its only been six months and I was on my pill for ten years! But these six months have seemed like forever!

Eggs and sunny I hope your feeling a bit better today

Eggs I missed your post yday. Sorry to hear things are all getting a bit much, but really glad your day ended on more of a high. 3 months will hopefully pass in a flash (I'm totally boggled by it already being February!) and you'll have at least one more cycle between now and then to have another crack at it. x

Yvonne I know what you mean, much easier to let my brain run away with me now I have even the vaguest understanding of how my cycle works. DH is being brilliant though, he went out and bought a really nice bottle of wine and is keeping it 'for if your period shows up and you need a treat'. Bless him! Fx for you, hope AF stays away x

Chapman my positive OPK was Wed I tested again yesterday and it was really faint I DTD Mon & Wed so hopefully I will catch the egg! Xx

Planteer that's a brilliant OPK it's so exciting isn't it as it was my first month using them too!

The only downside I find is that I know can't help but convince myself I'm pregnant as I know we DTD around OV so I can imagine how gutted I'm going to be of if AF arrives! I literal try can't sleep at night for thinking about getting pregnant I wish there was something I could do to switch off!

Chapman you definitely sound like you have BFP signs

Fx to all on this TWW xxxxx

Planeteer - I'm hoping so lovely but trying not to symptom spot cause il just get stressed and upset when AF finally arrives 🙁 And I don't know tbh Hun I'm gonna try hold out til the 10th when my supposed period is due then if it doesn't come il test but I've got them cheapy pg sticks in the cupboard haha.
Fab news about your opk! Not gonna lie we only dtd on Saturday and Mondsy cause I didn't even know I was ov only til Sunday but I've read sperm can live inside you for 3-5 days so hoping I covered all bases haha! If not we go again! Fx for you xxx

Hey chapman . Know it's a dangerous game to say this, but those symptoms are sounding pretty promising! Fx for you! What day are you testing?

Strongest opk tonight, but first cycle using them so am wary of getting too excited in case my body has a weirdly high amount of lh or something (apparently determined to psych myself out at every opportunity!) Have dtd last 3 nights and DH has asked for a night off tonight! Will go again tomorrow and hope that's enough to catch an egg!

Evening girls!
Sunny - really sorry about AF coming chick I know it feels like a stab in the heart but I also sometimes see it that you are having regular cycles. Fx your gp has some answers - really hoping for some good news for you soon Lovely! If I come on AF when I'm suppose to which is anywhere between 10th-13th i think I will be in the same boat as you we're I have a short luteal phase! what a shitter
Poin - how are you Hun have you made any progress with ttc earlier than planned with oh?
Yvonne & Planeteer - have u had any more positive opks? I had my strongest one on Sunday was faint on Monday then nothing tues! Did you dtd in preparation haha?
First - how are you? How many dpo are you? Fx we get a bfp we are due one I don't know where chocoholic gx91 and Sophie have gone haha they have seemed to dissapeared!
Cookie - how are you doll? Are you at the same point as me? Have you ov'd yet?? I really don't know when my egg was released so I don't even know what dpo I'm on. I'm due on anywhere between 10th-13th so we shall see!

Update anyway girls my nipples are horrendously sore I keep tasting metal in my mouth well I did on Tuesday. My boobs feel heavier but apart from that I'm just aching from being back at fat camp which is sort of taking my mind off AF!!
Xxx

Hello everyone!

Today was the lowest day I've had with all the TTC stuff. I POAS, and got a BFN and I feel AF is coming, after a 77 day cycle. February marks 13 months off the pill, and still my cycle is completely messed up and I am frustrated that I can't seem to work out anything after all this time. I was tearful in work all day and had myself convinced that it will never happen for me. I arrived home and in the post was my first fertility appointment! I am over the friggin moon! When GP sent away referral, she warned me that it could be up to two years wait! My appointment is only 3 months from when my referral was sent! I'm thinking I have angels looking out for me. Hopefully this marks a change, it certainly gives me some hope!

More hugs coming your way sunny . Be gentle with yourself today and try to see the new cycle as a new chance. Every cycle you're learning more about your body and its signs, and I've got everything crossed for you that next time will be the charm.

FX girls!xx

I've read on a few other sights as it being a sign too so FX! I definitely had my peak yesterday as my OPK was really weak today! We DTD last night after me telling OH I was ovulating so we had too as he was saying he was tired at first the TWW is killing me already! Xxx

Oh Yvonne you have just made me go like this 1dpo and I'm already getting carried away with myself! How's your OPKs looking today? Did you manage to dtd last night? Xx

How odd. Dont know when i OV'd last month to know if this is normal for me. Surely it would be waaayy too early if I peaked Monday/Tuesday Yvonne? Xx

I'm obsessed with symptom spotting!

Don't want to get your hopes up but EWCM is a sign of pregnancy! FX xx

Poin, this is so strange but I was going to ask the very same thing as you! Today I had a very obvious amount of ewcm, though it wasn't quite as stretchy. I assumed I ov'd yesterday & my clear blue peak was Tuesday evening! Really confused now by the whole thing now! Done an IC OPK and line is there but quite faded. Maybe it was today I ov'd & not yesterday! Xx

Sunny I'm so sorry to hear of AF rearing her ugly head. I can understand your concerns regarding luteal phase and possibility of not ovulating! I also share both these concerns. I take 100mg of b6 once a day and I appear to have ov'd on CD 21 this cycle as opposed to middle or late 20s! Whether this will affect the actual length of my luteal phase though is still unknown! However, I feel as though I've had so much more energy this month after taking it & would be probably keep taking it even if I wasn't TTC! Stay positive - you will feel rubbish today (and probably tomorrow) but it's amazing how much better you start to feel in a few days time xx
