Well I’m confused today. Looks like AF starting...or spotting not sure. But about ten days too early so heaven knows what’s going on. Am super stressed about work related things so maybe that’s mucking with my cycle?? Haven’t bothered testing this month as don’t think our timing was right

Although i really wanted a 2018 baby, then a jan baby, then a feb baby.......

Lilsquish · 01/07/2018 21:12

Not much to report here.

Around 3 or 4 dpo and cannot stop thinking about having a baby, testing, symptoms (or lack of them) etc etc.

Looking at due date calculators, implantation facts and all other pregnancy things like a mad woman.

Im going to be so disapointed next weekend.

Really would like a march baby.

Sigh xx

@Lilsquish not really ive been tired and eating a lot but im prob tired with the heat and im always hungry the wk before af lol i got bloods done today and i was shocked the nurse said they should have my results in about 3days. So the labs shut over the wkend so im thinking tues/wed i ll find out if im ovulating or not.

Lilsquish · 28/06/2018 22:06

@Lilsquish im the exact same but it is important to not overdo things, im not saying we should b hermits but its trying to find a balance isnt it? Im 7dpo tomorrow thats when i stupidly get the urge to test

OP posts:
Lilsquish · 28/06/2018 21:24

Well i think my most positive opk was last night as it was even darker than tuesdays. Seem to be getting lighter now so ov possibly today? Tomo?

Really cant stop thinking about it this month and over analysing everything.

Was lifting/moving heavy boulders today and thinking -maybe i shouldnt do this? What if it prevents implantation lol.

Iv officially lost it!

@FlapJackered thats exactly what i was thinking bet u results take ages n im ovulating if he needs a 2nd sample lol

FlapJackered · 27/06/2018 07:05

@Lilsquish fx'd for a shorter cycle for you! Sounds promising!

My last cycle was 56 days 🙄 longest so far. I have got high hopes for this cycle being much shorter!

@thisisouryrfx18 my DH has his SA on the 5th - I am just a little concerned about the no sex 2-3 days before as it will be Sod's law I ovulate then!
At least you are in the tww and so he will have the results hopefully in time for your next cycle?

OP posts:
Lilsquish · 26/06/2018 23:40

Day 21 and iv just got a positive opk.

Thanks @thisisouryrfx18 That's good in a way you will know exactly where you stand with it all and get the right treatment.

AF came yesterday, I am happy to be on to a fresh cycle now though. Wondering how @Aph413 Is getting on with inositol as really hoping that will shorten my cycle this time 🤞🏻
