Hello. Im currently 3-4 DPO (days post ovulation) with AF/BFP (Aunt Flo/Big Fat Positive) due 22-25th Feb! Did plenty baby dancing so fingers crossed and have promised myself not to symptom spot or go Google crazy this time. Ive also swore not to test until 18th Feb ... Do i have anyone in similar place so we can support each other and talk (while avoiding google lol) xx

Apologies for the silence - it's all been rather busy!

Having a MUCH better start to the week this week! Dust has settled & im feeling much more positive! Still enjoying the cake & wine leftovers from my birthday!

I'm back to charting my BBT each morning & all the other crazy things we do (never dreamed I'd be checking out my cervical position & comparing it to pressing my nose?!??) and I'm back to using OPK purely because I have such an inconsistent cycle & it's helpful to understand a little bit more about when I'm ovulating.

So I'm currently CD7, ovulation expected week beginning the 12th & hoping to see a BFP around the 29th!

Hope you're all having good weeks x

Hello all,

Sorry for the radio silence. We've all been ill here.

Likewise, so sorry to hear about all the horrible AFs and crappy times Sad. I have everything crossed for good news for all in March.

(AJ happy belated birthday- sounds like a rough few days but hope you got to enjoy it best you could Flowers.

ps, pass I loved your message on Friday. Sounds like you're surrounded by a lot of love and happiness xx ).

PingusMistress · 27/02/2017 22:42

Hi all, hope that those of you suffering with vicious AFs are getting past the worst of it.

Is anyone left to test? grumpysquirrel your symptoms sounded hopeful, any update?

Best of luck to those of you entering fertile week, enjoy the BDing!

So sorry for all the crap AF's, seems like we've all had a bit of a shit couple of weeks. I'll be starting my FW on Sunday but ditching the opks and temping this month and just going to DTD for a week or so and hope for the best 😊

AJE84 · 27/02/2017 08:15

Morning ladies,

How is everyone doing? AF was horrendous these last few days! Clashed with putting my back out, having my birthday & a whole load of family stresses! Not good! Felt very sorry for DH who couldn't understand why I was just bursting into tears without any obvious trigger!

So I'm glad last week is done with! I'm starting this week with a positive attitude! Aiming to eat well, exercise, sleep well & get myself feeling good for ovulation week!

Nature I feel a bit beaten down. Af is painful too and whilst I have had two seemingly ok 28day cycles straight off the pill I still worry all will take a while to get back to normal.

Got that af fed up feeling now. It makes you feel so awful in your ttc journey. Bleughhh

passmethewine123 · 24/02/2017 19:42

Ssh I had burning/throbbing nipples and aching boobs this AF too, new symptoms for me as well and just confirms that I can't trust a single thing my body does. It's all lies!!!

Sshsecretenclosed · 24/02/2017 19:35

And af is starting. Boobs are so sore and burning nipples but it seems Mother Nature just loves to trick us by making my BFP symptoms identical to my BFN ones too. Feel like a good cry

passmethewine123 · 24/02/2017 12:31

Aghh Nature sorry it wasn't good news for you but on the plus side fingers crossed this is the start of your cycles regulating!

I'm having a bit of a zen moment today. After reading a couple of other threads on here where people are finding themselves a bit overcome with the crazy of TTC and also with my own experience of becoming a little bit obsessed last month I feel a sort of calm has come over me. I've been thinking about how much I have to be thankful for, I have an amazing partner who is my soul mate and best friend, we both have wonderful supportive families, and brilliant friends. We are lucky to live in a really beautiful part of world, in a nice house with nice things. Of course it would be amazing to have a child but if it doesn't happen for us then so be it - our lives are rich and fulfilled in so many other ways and will continue to be so without a baby. I need to just remind myself of this and chill out. Feels good to write it down 🙂

nicnacnew · 24/02/2017 09:50

nature sorry you're having a rough time of it. I will be sticking around. Almost bought a nursery furniture set, just because it was a bargain! My oldest dd keeps asking when can she get a baby brother or sister Sad, says I should try harder. Don't think she quite has a handle on how babies are made 😆.

Thanks guys. Since last night i seem to be in full flow so fingers crossed it behaves and is over in 2-3 days. Ive been distant on here, and internet in general, as I've been so worried. I'd have ended up googling and then it telling me I was horrifically ill or dying.. Love internet doctors! So what's all new? I see some BFP which is great and a few new joins (hello!) Are we all sticking it out for next cycle? DP and I decided not to take a break from trying until the following month so I'll be here! With all the discharge etc I'm counting myself as CD 3 and rolling with that!! Xxx
