So AF got me this afternoon!! Trying not to get down in the dumps (although I just watched 'one born every minute' on catch-up and sobbed!)
Dusting myself off and hoping for better luck in April! A few stats:
Age-33
TTC-5th cycle
DC-1 DS (3.5 years old)
Anyone else at the start of their cycle and trying something new in the hope of a more successful month?!

Maybe cos it was so long last time it's come early? It's confusing all right! Have you been checked for fibroids footprints

Footprints1 · 18/04/2016 11:53

Yes it was 43 days my last cycle as I ovulated day 23 last month

footprints I was going to say implantation but then read you say it's really heavy. Was your last cycle really long?

Footprints1 · 18/04/2016 10:42

Forgot to say, I'm also in rented, so I wouldn't worry. If you wait until you have money and house there will always be something else.. Never a good time to have children.

We just make do what we have and are still saving for house. Kids don't need much, just love as Jod said. We don't have all the latest gadgets or a big house but my boys are happy.

Hope the sunshine brings good spirits today as I certainly need something to cheer me up. X

Feel upset myself. I really have no idea what is happening to my body but I am bleeding today. Have no pains or bloating or any other AF symptoms as I would usually have. What I thought was mild spotting is full on blood today. Tmi, but had to wear tampon. EGWM still too so it's not pleasant. Surely I can't be having another AF only 17 days from last one? Really weird. Did an opk too and the line still dark. Says I'm ovulating still?

Confused, disappointed and a little bit worriedHmmSad

SuchaJem · 18/04/2016 09:18

Thanks girls. I'm cd26 today. Can't seem to stop crying.

You're right about the renting / buying thing. There's so much focus on it. I feel like all dh's happiness depends on it!

I'm worried about how he'll react if I am pregnant. I think deep down he'll worry it will set us back further from buying.

Tee4me · 18/04/2016 09:12

Oh dear Sucha, sorry you're feeling that way. There really is never a perfect time, things always seem to work themselves out in the end. I'm sure you'll be all settled in soon and feeling more at home, it's horrible when everything's upside down around you. What CD are you on again? x

sucha babies don't need things they just need Love. There's A lot of focus (from those that make the money) on what they NEED. They only need you. So don't worry about renting. We have two children and we live in a capital city so we have to rent, lots of people do! The house I live in would be €500,000 to buy and I am self employed so getting a mortgage is really tough. Don't worry!

Mimilicious013 · 18/04/2016 08:31

With this ttc business tee anything is possible. You can get upduffed when u least expect so fx. Good on the pineapples!!!

Hugs sucha hope u feel better and no I don't think it's irresponsible to ttc. It will work you will see. As long as you can take care of you and the babySmile

raddersmrs · 18/04/2016 08:23

Sorry I'm cd 26! Losing track. At work now so will read properly later xx

raddersmrs · 18/04/2016 08:22

AF due tomorrow
cD25 today

SuchaJem · 18/04/2016 08:19

Morning girls how is everyone?

I'm pretty terrible to be honest. We moved yesterday and both felt very low last night. Didn't really sleep and cried a lot Sad

We're saving to try and buy in London but have had to get another rental place as still don't have enough deposit to buy. It is so depressing. It makes me wonder if we should be ttc? Is it irresponsible in rented?

Feeling rather rubbish this morning Sad

Morning everybody!
Hope we're all feeling hopeful this week, half way through my 2ww over here. Although I feel my chances are slim after being so poorly last week, I've been going through lots of fresh pineapple just in case.
What's everybody doing with their time until testing territory??

Hi mimi, I've been really good this weekend after a few blips last week! Feeling determined, hope alls well with you too! Interesting about the food aversions, should be a good sign for you!
Radders all I have in the house are ICs so I won't be testing with those any time soon either!
Keep us posted on the OPKs Jod!

Mimilicious013 · 18/04/2016 07:53

Oh footprints chances are it's ov, says dr google. I hope u are dtd anyway. I unfortunately don't use opks,i go by ewcm and try dtd often ((tiring))

Mimilicious013 · 18/04/2016 07:45

Still crossing fingers that you get your bfp jod.its harder when you have little ones in the house. We have dd sleeping in our bedroom and half the time she leaves her cot to sleep in the middle.

parney hope the dieting is going on wellSmilei seem to be off a lot of food these past few days. It could be a symptom or just af on it's way. Good luck in the longest wait to Saturday

Mimilicious013 · 18/04/2016 07:36

When was your af supposed to show radders?that test has made me rethink poas on an ic. I don't have any frer so will have to wait for af to be late, Thursday.how are you feeling today?

raddersmrs · 18/04/2016 06:55

This is my opk this morning and the faintest of lines on the morrisons own brand

Really does show how sensitive FRER are even though morrisons and asda say can use it 4 days before

Thanks radders! Will have a look

raddersmrs · 17/04/2016 20:42

I think it might be this but the packaging has changed

raddersmrs · 17/04/2016 20:40

Aw jod don't worry about what might happen. You never know yet. And you don't know your not pregnant yet do you??

I was trying to find the website I bought my opk off but I can't find it, argh

Jod1985 · 17/04/2016 20:37

I'm afraid I will be ovulating when DH is working! He works nights and long shifts and then with not sharing a bed together and having two young kids it's difficult to fit in time.

Parney · 17/04/2016 20:16

Mine looked a little lighter than that the day after my surge! You'll have a better idea tomorrow when you compare today's with tomorrow's! I get a pack of five in the pound shop!

Jod1985 · 17/04/2016 20:14

I took that at 7:30pm....I might take one tomorrow at 2pm.
