Hi everyone

@ELW85 thanks for the FF temperature point. I didn’t realise you couldn’t change mid-cycle. I had only input 2 temps so I just redid them in Fahrenheit.

Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet recently, AF arrived last weekend and it really affected me (sorry if I told you all already my memory is shocking).

Now on Cycle 2 and can start DTD this weekend.

Also I have looked back on my info for last cycle. I was only doing one opk at first so I think I missed ovulation and it was actually much earlier in the month.

This cycle I’m doing two OPKs a day and also tracking temps so hopefully I will catch it.

Where snouts is everyone up to in their cycle?

Anyone got any nice plans for the weekend?

@purplefig not annoying at all, please pop back in whenever you feel like it!!! And give us all updates too 😊😊 xxx

purplefig · 21/06/2019 11:01

Just a quick one to say I'm going to leave you ladies to it now, as I can imagine it might be a bit grating my popping in all the time. I don't have an email alert set up for @s, but if you ever need me feel free to PM me to hear me wank on about 'Taking Charge of your Fertility' and stupid smoothies. All the best everyone, you're an amazing group of women and I have no doubt you will all make fabulous mums one day. xxxxx

cupcakesandglitter · 21/06/2019 10:34

@ValidUser I'm okay thankyou, AF turned up horribly for me and I felt crappy so I just disappeared for a bit. I'm starting to feel better (although I think a lot of it is waiting for ovulation to turn up) but I'll get there. How are you? Feeling any better? X

Ooh @MrsEG enjoy your staycation!! The weather looks somewhat positive too over the next week xx

ValidUser · 21/06/2019 10:19

@MrsEG not dramatic at all! I'd totally consider if this keeps itself up! ❤️

@FlorenceLane Please don’t worry; it can take even the healthiest of women a year to conceive. I know that sounds like forever but there’s no reason before that to think there is anything wrong :) Just persevere and try not to let it consume you - staying positive about the whole thing will help so much in the long run! Just keep taking a pre-natal vitamin, try and eat well and do some exercise and just crack on, you’ll get there x

ELW85 · 21/06/2019 09:17

@ValidUser - I’m pleased the thread is helping, and I totally hear you! I’d be lost without you guys x

LindyMoe · 21/06/2019 07:49

@FlorenceLane don't be disheartened. I'm on exactly the same time line as you.
The ladies and gentlemen on here have been incredible and I truly believe we will get our bfp, its all about timing and mindset.

We will be mothers and then ironically be part of other threads fretting about our kids too! Smile

LindyMoe · 21/06/2019 07:47

Thank you @ValidUser for the new thread!

FlorenceLane · 21/06/2019 07:43

@ValidUser thanks lovely... We're on cycle 3 xx

@Lozzlepop thank you xx

MrsEG · 21/06/2019 06:28

Morning!
@Lozzlepop Ahh what a lovely message on the old thread!! I am just trying to take it one day at a time at the moment. We are both off for a week after today, going to the Lakes for a few days and then just having a ‘staycation’ and it couldn’t have come at a better time I don’t think!

@ValidUser Sorry you’re having a rubbish time. I don’t want to sound over dramatic (especially as I know you’re a doctor!) but have you considered counselling? I found it incredibly beneficial earlier this year. We are all always here for you as your unofficial therapists too of course :)

MrsR16 · 20/06/2019 23:12

@ValidUser oh hun, I'm sorry to read you're having a down day today. We're all absolutely here for you! And I have everything crossed for you that this will be the cycle for you xx

ValidUser · 20/06/2019 23:05

Thanks @ELW85 and @orangeloo. I'm so glad of this thread tonight. X

@ValidUser - thanks so much for the new thread!
Really sorry to hear how you’re feeling; you’re incredibly strong for going on the journey you’ve been on so far. I’m pleased you’re being kind to yourself; you more than deserve it and you will get there.
Cycle #2 of hormones is going to be smashed :)

@larrydavid @Lozzlepop - thanks ladies, I’m feeling way more positive than I was :) I realise I’m probably over analysing everything but time is not on my side and even the doc said I needed to get preggers before 35, so she’s happy to pursue tests etc.

I’m done in after a night of circuits - have a lovely night everyone (esp those DTD!)

orangeloo · 20/06/2019 22:52

@ValidUser thanks for new thread sorry you are feeling a bit poo. Definitely a treat in order for days like this.

@ELW85 sorry for being nosy and if I've missed something but why do they/you suspect thin tubes?

@MrsEG so so glad you are getting medical support and have dark pink line. Smile x

Think I'm 1 dpo- temps yet to confirm. Dtd 2 nights ago before DP went away. Hopefully that's enough but feel quite infused at the mo. Sperm analysis is booked 2nd of July so kinda feel like I'm waiting on that answer now.

ValidUser · 20/06/2019 22:44

How are you doing @cupcakesandglitter? ❤️

ValidUser · 20/06/2019 22:10

@MrsR16 feeling a bit sorry for myself and a bit on the barren side, but being nice to myself. Second cycle on hormones now. X

MrsR16 · 20/06/2019 21:32

@ValidUser I'm doing alright thanks lovely 😊 how about you? I can't believe you're on another new thread! They fill up so quickly xx

Lozzlepop · 20/06/2019 21:27

@LikeTheFruit lovely, sounds like your going to have a ball ☺️

LikeTheFruit · 20/06/2019 21:24

@Lozzlepop it's somewhere in east south of alcudia. It's essentially an all inclusive resort with a couple of hotels and not much else. Bliss

Lozzlepop · 20/06/2019 21:21

@MrsH497 sounds good 💪🏻

@FlorenceLane sorry to heart AF arrived hun

@LikeTheFruit snap, trying to fill up with all the swimmers! We had a lovely relaxing time, where in Majorca are you headed?

LikeTheFruit · 20/06/2019 21:09

Thanks for new thread @ValidUser

Hi @Lozzlepop !! We have pretty much DTD every second day more or less since the end of AF anyway so hopefully some swimmers have make it up there! Not been to Majorca is ages, so looking forward to it!

ValidUser · 20/06/2019 21:07

Sorry about AF @FlorenceLane. What cycle are you on? X
