Waving the witch off and starting afresh.. Buddies welcome!

Hit post before I was done((silly phone))

Fx for good news in a fortnight minty. Well-done for covering all days.

Hie ohno, hope you are feeling better and the headache and cramps have subsided. These dh are sometimes a pain. Mine is not my favourite at the moment but will return the favour soon.

Evening ladies, had posted earlier only to realise my msg was not sent. Grrrr

You have my word too drmum. Will be here until we all have our babies. Sorry for the insensitive invite. Best make an excuse hun ((you need time to get over your loss dear)) good luck tmwr and lots of hugs.

Hie minty, time flies hey. Already in the tww. Fx for goo

drmum you have my word

I agree, it has come rounf very quickly.

I'm so sorry this has happened to you drmum. Cruel isn't the word. God yes I completely agree, I very much do think that is very insensitive of her if I am honest. How would she feel if you had done the same thing to her if it had been the other way round? No doubt she would be having the exact same conversation with her other friends. Of course you are happy for her but it's like rubbing your nose in it, isn't it. I would be tempted to decline the offer if it were me, it would be too difficult to handle at this moment in time and if she is the friend you are to her, she will understand. and not have put you into that position in the first place Eek sorry if that sounds harsh, I am feeling sensitive on your behalf, I cannot understand some peoples thinking. Yes she is excited of course she is and has every right to be but some sensitivity and better timing wouldn't have gone amiss.

Hi lovelies

Sorry i was awol yesterday, I kept meaning to update but work got crazy. It sounds like you are all having a rough time . Mimi so sorry you're feeling shit, I hope you are feeling a bit better today. You're fast approaching sexathon...

Ohno I hope you are feeling a bit better today too. As for someone asking you that question whoever it was, have they never heard of bloating?! Ffs And your DH sounds like he has PMT too! Grrrr men! But then where would we be without them ..

Drmum lovely to see you thinking positive again and looking forward. Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Remember we are always here if you need us

As for me, you'll be pleased to hear I pounced on an already hot, sweaty and knackered dp straight after his boxing session and my netball last night I think we have covered all of my fertile days by dtd sunday, monday and last night and I am pretty sure I ov yesterday so into the joyful tww.

We are all falling apart - I've had a headache for two days too and have the most horrendous cramping even though af hasn't even started properly yet!

Mimi did you manage to persuade your husband to dtd? Actually thankful it's af week, my husband is being a dick. He too has a headache but obviously this means he gets away with doing sod all and I've just got in to find the remains of my sons tea all over the floor still. I woke him up from his nap on the sofa to ask him to clear it up and he started huffing that he's just woken up and doesn't want to hear it. Yes im perfectly well aware of the fact you've just woken up, sleep was in fact the exact problem!! He was asleep on the sofa when he was supposed to be parenting and as a result my son kept pressing buttons on his expensive electrical equipment. Usually I try and stop him but today I don't care if it breaks! (Can you tell I have pmt???)

Then when I was out someone asked if I'm pregnant again. Mortified doesn't even cover it - I know I've put on weight and have been feeling really down about it but that was the final straw. Must shape up so that when I am next actually pregnant instead of al these phantom symptoms and fat bellies , I will be in better shape!

How are you doing drmum?

Hello drmum minty ohno
Sorry have been mia but really struggling with the headache. Cd8 here and dh refused dtd so hoping to force sme sense in his head.

Drmum glad work is keeping you busy and praying for your successful procedure Friday hun. Hope u will recover soon and you could try again.

Minty here is hoping you don't have to see af for another year him. Keep dtd to cover all corners.

Ohhh ohno, poor dh, he will be getting laid shortly in a weeks time. How is everyone today?

It's not just me its being weird for then! That's good to know, stupid Ovia! My chemical sent it a bit wappy too. I've got PTracker and another called My Cycles too which I put all my dates in to track but even so I'm still getting different ov dates! I agree about the opks. It's a good job they are cheap, my poas addiction seems to go from opks to hpt to opk. and repeat

I've been thinking ahead too, you have got to really haven't you! We were hoping to go abroad for a week in June but trying to time it for when AF won't be around if we don't conceive this cycle and blah blah, it's a bit endless! Suck it up and get on it

I'm in the uk too, North Yorkshire. It is actually snowing right now! I have a feeling mimi may be overseas but don't know for sure.

waves to Mimi and Drmum

Minty I find ovia a bit weird too, it's the only app I use so not sure how others differ for me but when I put in my ov day it didn't update my due on date and surely it should make it 14 days later? Plus that would have made my next cycle predicted at 24 days as my last two have been, instead it's predicting it at 27. I mostly use it to track dates etc rather than to predict and use opks instead.

Can't really be arsed with another sexathon and I think next ov date is when my parents are staying however next month would be my most ideal month to get preg for convenient due date/avoidance of certain events I am desperate for an excuse to get out of etc. Because we all know conception works to schedule, right? So think I'm going to have to suck it up, have a bikini wax and get on it so to speak

Yup I'm in the uk, in greater London/Kent. Are you in the uk?

Morning ladies waves

Drmum I'm glad you are feeling better now you know what's happening and you have the procedure planned. As shit as it is, I agree with Ohno and having a plan always seems to help. Cannot believe the woman asked if you wanted a picture, is that even normal? Why the eff would you?!

Mimi I was convinced you would get a bfp! Oh well dear, back on the wagon with the rest of us. You are a week behind me i think, I'm CD13. My 3 different apps why do I have three? say my fertile period is over different days , two say i'm coming to the end and other other Ovia bitch says i'm 2 days into it. But I've had lots of ewcm for about 3 days now and we dtd sunday morning & last night after dp's boxing session! I assume ewcm means I am fertile and if what everyone says about being uber-fertile after a chemical is true then fingers crossed! OPK had two dark lines this morning too.

Ohno so sorry you've got pre AF spotting but that just means another sexathon round the corner and you will be joining us in the delightful tww shortly!

Being nosey again! I know drmum is in the UK, are you OhNo and Mimi also in the uk?

god that's really long, sorry folks, hope i havent sent you to sleep with my essay!

Thanks drmum - vino was consumed with pleasure!

Pre af spotting began last night so I'm def out. Lovely DH said to me as I got into bed "you've just been in the cupboard. Does that mean I'm not getting laid tonight?" Charming!

How's everyone else?

Sorry you've had a shit morning but I always feel like having a plan helps. Not much consolation but we will be here with you and your neuroses next month !! And yes a totally inappropriate question about the pictures. What on earth would people even do with them!? Blimey

Well looks like we can all have a few Vinos this week then. I'm wondering if there's anywhere that it's ok to have a glass of the half bottle left from last night while my son is asleep on my chest? I'm hormonal and thirsty. Nope? Eurgh back to the water then

I can't believe it mimi, I was convinced you'd have a magic bfp there!

Honestly minty my bfns were whiter than white. Put the stash of used tests in the bin after DH left for work today, the bin men can take away the evidence of my insanity!

Actually feel like I might come on early, really crampy

Bfn boooo 👎.well cd6 and the sexathon begins Thursday, ov around Sunday.
Good luck minty only ohno can give us good news

Morning ladies. How are you today Drmum, I'm thinking of you today hun.

News on the minty front is I am now CD12 and Ovia reckons I am starting my fertile window today, reaching a peak on Weds, Thurs and Friday so I've started with the poas opk now. Let the sexathon commence...... And oh yes, I did enjoy my thank you ladies, twas good.

Ohno you ain't out til AF arrives with force dear, think positive!

Mimi and Ohno we really need a pic of your poas when you've both done it. We haven't had 'any 'can you see a line' posts for a while on this one....The poas jury is ready & waiting!

Who knew ttc is so complicated and so much work??? Aaargh. I will dash out to buy a test later ((if I can force myself to get out of bed))

You need more dtd next cycle that is if you don't get your late bfp soon. Fx

When are you going to test mimi? What are you waiting for?

No ideas for the new month - tbh I'm tired of it already and I've barely started!! My husband works long hours and falls asleep on the sofa most nights so trying to get him to bed is an issue. Plus he snores badly so I actually prefer sleeping in a different room most of the time! Last month I was tactical and made the most of my son napping at the weekends but I'm not sure if my ov dates will cover a weekend this time. Sigh.

Plus if I'm not pregnant that means this pmt might happen every month - not ideal at all!!!

Morning 💐
Sorry Ohno, best of luck next cycle hun. I don't think l will be lucky. Just trying to be hopeful for no reason lol😂. I had af for only 1day so wanted to poas just to be sure it was real though weird af. Any new ideas for the new month?

Hope you are ok drmum.

Hie minty.

Bfn here. 12dpo and got a reasonably strong positive on 12dpo last time so I'm out. No more tests unless af is is late (due weds - I get spotting religiously 3 days before hand and not had any yet so maybe Thursday of my ov date was slightly out)

Mimi you're the only hope for us this month - when are you poas???

Love to minty and drmum x

Oh drmum you're bound to feel sad, not only was it awful news but it was a shock. Hope you manage to get everything sorted tomorrow with the hospital. Is it too soon for you to have thought about whether you'll try again soon? We will be here for you either way xx

Mimi how the hell have you avoided poas?? How exciting - I think I missed a chunk somewhere and thought you were entirely out. Keep us posted!

How about you minty, what's new?

Going to pee on one last stick tmrw which should be 12 dpo, got a positive on a frer at 12dpo last time. Then I'm going to admit defeat this month and get on with my life! Imaginary symptoms wise - still got sore boobs and cramping, tiredness and cranky, heartburn. No nausea anymore, that only lasted a couple of days. Pretty much know the answer but can keep the dream alive for one last night....
