Hi guys I am 7DPO (I think) and don’t think I’ve done it this month but feeling rather alone and would like someone to talk to about it all!

Only symptoms I’ve had this month are IM BOILING HOT (but it is June), I’m really tired constantly and went to bed at 8.30 the last two nights (but my work is crap atm) and really heavy, sore boobs.

Think I ovulated last Monday/Tuesday and going to test Friday. My periods aren’t back to being regular as of yet after coming off the mini pill so it’s anyones guess.

Would love someone to symptom spot with!

Sorry didn't really explain my response there. Basically I'm not having a fantastic time at work at the moment. The manager won't even look at me if he doesn't have to, so I just try to avoid him at all costs and get on with my day.
I've had some issues there and I don't feel comfortable speaking to him at all. There's a clique and he's a part of it, and I'm public enemy number one atm it seems so just trying to keep my head down.

Zm2019 · 26/07/2019 23:29

Ah yea, that makes sense. Hope it all goes well for you x

lonelyonee · 26/07/2019 22:28

Yes @Zm2019 they are legally required to give you time off for ante natal appointments BUT I refuse to tell them until I have to, I'll only get attitude or an eye roll or something.

Zm2019 · 26/07/2019 21:46

Hey, don't hold me on it. But if your pregnant I think work are entitled to give you paid leave for midwife appointments. I'm not 100% sure.
Congrats.x

lonelyonee · 26/07/2019 20:03

I'm 4+6 today, been and changed doctors but have to wait until 23rd August for my appointment due to waiting for one outside or working hours (can't afford to miss any work).
Filled out my first midwife form, was quite funny as me and the receptionists were debating which hospital I'd pick. In the end I couldn't decide so will discuss with midwife when I see them. (I'd have 3 to choose from where I live).

Hope you're well @Skyla01 fingers and toes are crossed for you! 🤞🏻 xx

Skyla01 · 26/07/2019 10:29

@lonelyonee how many weeks are you now?

We've DTD lots around ovulation so hoping this month is our month. Fingers crossed!

lonelyonee · 25/07/2019 19:36

Sorry to hear AF has come for some of you ladies.
Better luck for the new cycle! 🤞🏻

Yesssssss @Skyla01 !! Get dtd!!! Fingers majorly crossed for you!

I'm also suffering in the heat, bloody nausea comes on randomly at work and I'm having to breathe through it like don't be sick don't be sick don't be sick.

Also ladies if you're off to a beer garden please have a drink for me! I'm having to avoid them like the plague as one of my friends is in the dark about me and she'll 100% guess if I'm not drinking 😭

AllTheGlitter · 25/07/2019 09:00

@Skyla01 ooo best of luck! Hope you hit this month! Smile

@HayleyD84 yes that’s dear partner! Smile

So! AF has arrived on the hottest day of the year, just my luck! Bring on next month Grin

Hi @AllTheGlitter what does DP mean? Is that (Dear Partner?) Xx

Skyla01 · 24/07/2019 21:13

That's annoying @OP, hope you get an answer soon. I've just had my positive opk so ovulation probably today. Nearly in tww! Feeling positive this time- 3rd time lucky!

AllTheGlitter · 24/07/2019 19:49

@Skyla01 well, I’ve been spotting for a week before AF Since I came off the pill but I was supposed to start spotting ready for AF today so not sure if I’m late or not. HATE the fact that my cycle is so irregular since coming off :( they were getting less and less but this one seems like either it’s gonna be longer OR (hopefully) I’m not gonna do the stupid spotting before AF. there’s a tiny chance I could be pregnant IF I ovulated like a week earlier than Ovia thinks. God knows. How’re you?

@CroissantwithCheese oh no :( I’m sorry to hear that, enjoy chocolate and wine while you can!

Hi @HayleyD84 my DP is unfortunately more wait and see than scheduled so we don’t have a plan! How’re you?

How’s everyone else? @rbrum @Jadey31 @PeanutButter19 @Keepingfaith100 @lonelyonee @Abi58 (sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone)!

Hi all,

Ok if I join you?

I'm CD7
Cycle: 8
TTC: #2
Age: 35

Anyone approaching the BD time? how often are you going to try?

xxxxxx

CroissantwithCheese · 24/07/2019 13:27

Af arrived this morning so I’m out! Bet of luck to you all :)

lonelyonee · 21/07/2019 11:02

@AllTheGlitter thank you! Ahh I've had w few of those it's actually insane. But maybe it's a premonition for what's to come?
@Skyla01 I only managed about 5 days of OPKs but I'm sure I ovulated early so it wouldn't have mattered much if I carried on anyway! Although my head wasn't really in ttc with everything I've had going on with work etc... so maybe that's why we conceived this month? Who knows.

Good luck ladies 🤞🏻✨

Skyla01 · 21/07/2019 10:33

@AllTheGlitter when is your AF due? I was dreaming the other night about cb opk (Using them this cycle for the first time)- think I was worried about forgetting to poas in the morning!

I'm still waiting for ovulation here. Cd23... hopefully will ovulate within the week.

AllTheGlitter · 20/07/2019 20:21

Also in my dream I just couldn’t wait to come on here and share it with everyone! Mental how real it was!! 😂

OP posts:
AllTheGlitter · 20/07/2019 20:19

@lonelyonee omg massive congratulations! I’m so so so so pleased for you! Grin

Well my AF is due soon, I had a dream last night I was pregnant and it was so realistic Sad. Really starting to think it won’t ever happen.

How’s everyone else?

lonelyonee · 20/07/2019 12:44

Thank you @CroissantwithCheese 🙂

Aww well I'm hoping this is a lucky thread and you'll get yours 🤞🏻

I wasn't expecting it tbh since I had a shitty month with work etc... but I guess because I wasn't thinking about it so much it happened? Who knows. DP is just amazed his swimmers work haha 😂

CroissantwithCheese · 20/07/2019 11:02

Oh wow @lonelyonee, huge congrats!!

Af is due tomorrow...I’ve been testing the last 4 days and bfn every time. Still keeping fingers crossed though, and your happy results are keeping me going!

lonelyonee · 19/07/2019 14:18

@Abi58 we've decided to wait til 8 weeks to make sure we will be able to see something! No we won't be telling parents/family until we are reassured that everything is okay. Due to DPs previous partner miscarrying a few years ago at 10 weeks he's extremely paranoid and doesn't want to go through having to tell people bad news again which is understandable.
I'm just pooing myself because I'm not sure how my DS (Dear Sister) is going to react. She's very judgemental and has never had children, although she did have an ectopic pregnancy a few years back.

Abi58 · 19/07/2019 13:57

@lonelyonee and yes early scan will definitely help put your mind at rest. Try to wait til 7 weeks if we'd been off by a couple of days we wouldn't have seen much and it would have caused me more worry (only risked it as was hoping for reassurance before telling parents)

Abi58 · 19/07/2019 13:56

@lonelyonee good 😂
Aw no! When will you tell parents? We've told my mum so far.
Aw yeah that's my worry people we see a lot will guess when I refuse the Prosecco or a beautiful rare steak and I'd rather tell people than they guess (I'm a poor liar)

lonelyonee · 19/07/2019 13:39

@Abi58 yeah believes it now! He's super paranoid so now has me on a telling ban which for me is going to be incredibly hard to do especially feeling sick Sad I'm sure someone's going to guess and I'll have to tell porkies! I told him about getting an early scan and he's agreed that's a good idea, as it will definitely ease his mind.

Yes how is everyone?!

Abi58 · 19/07/2019 12:15

@Skyla01 thank you 💕

@lonelyonee oh wow definitely definitely preggers! 😁 ...does your partner believe you now? 😂

Try and eat little and often it surprisingly helps keep the nausea away ☺️ start with plain crackers and digestive biscuits make sure you get some sugar too ☺️

🤞🏻 for everyone else and keep the updates coming!

lonelyonee · 19/07/2019 11:03

Thank you ladies I'm in actual shock Shock got another couple of tests so will do another lot next week. Hopefully get some progression on them!
My head is spinning now though, so many things to do/think about! Argh! Grin
DPs been on at me all morning to eat but I really don't feel up to it yet as feeling nauseous.

Got my fingers and toes crossed for the rest of you ladies!!! This thread is feeling quite lucky I feel Smile
