@FairyDustSprinkles I don't temp either. I bought a thermometer but kept forgetting to do it before I got up 🙈 the initial doc didn't mention the waiting time but I have another appointment on Thursday so will definitely ask then and let you know x

@emmar88 I'm having that full feeling too and just feel overall crap think it's PMS as I usually get it quite early around this time

Thanks! I don't normally feel like this, feel heavy down there If you know what I mean! It's probably my mind playing tricks though!

MrsS147 · 05/07/2019 17:04

Welcome @emmar88 👋🏻
Hopefully it’s a positive sign for you! I am feeling very unpregnant just now! I’m only 6/7dpo though, but I have nothing at all! Just wish the next week would hurry so I could know one way or another.

@UnapologeticallyUnsociable I haven't tried tempting yet as knowing me I will forget to keep on top of it . Did the GP tell you how long it would take for the referral to the clinic ?

Hi,

8dpo and feel nauseas and crampy, too early to feel like this? Maybe just a coincidence!

MrsS147 · 05/07/2019 12:03

Welcome @flossy12 👋🏻

@FairyDustSprinkles you can only really confirm it from BBT which is why I say I’m either 6 or 7dpo today! Last month my BBT went up the day after my positive OPK so I must have ovulated the same day, but this month might have been different (don’t know for sure since not temping!). I’d be 7dpo if I ov’d the same day or 6dpo if the day after. It can happen any time from 12-36 hours after a positive OPK I think!

flossy12 · 05/07/2019 10:53

I never got a positive OPK cause I was awaybon holiday and didn't take my tests but DTD as much as we could before I went and when I got back 😅

I count it from when both my apps say? I've been waaaayyyy tired but that's about it! Had a couple twinges on my right side a couple times since OV but only lasted a few mins each so not holiday big amounts of hope this month x

Ladies can I ask a question pls not sure if I'm on the correct DPO when do u guys count it from the first day of a positive OPK? But I've heard u can ovulate a few days after the positive so when do U count it as 1 day past ovulation ? @MrsS147 @UnapologeticallyUnsociable @flossy12

Hey guys 😁

Cycle #2

CD32

AF due on the 8th!

UnapologeticallyUnsociable · 05/07/2019 07:45

@FairyDustSprinkles We have been TTC for 13 months. Doctors won't consider a referral until you have been trying at least 12 months (sometimes 18 month depending on age and fertility background). I was diagnosed with PCOS at 19 but only met my DH at 30 hence the later stage of TTC. My GP said to try for 6 months then come back if nothing happened.

Many people used temping and OPKs to track/confirm ovulation. May be worth a try for you x

@FairyDustSprinkles yeah I think it’s quite a recent thing that’s come in! It makes sense for us to share as I’m the higher earner and assuming I get pregnant in the next 6 months he’ll still working part time whilst finishing his degree so we wouldn’t be able to afford me having the unpaid time off! Plus I may find it easier going back to work and handing them to DH rather than a nursery!
I know what you mean! It’s so hard not to wonder but not really healthy to either (doesn’t stop me doing it though 😂) Hopefully AF does stay away this month for us both 🤞🏻

@MrsS147 ooooo I didn't know you could share leave that's a nice plan. My last day of work I'll be skipping out of there . I'm trying to not think whether I'm pregnant or not but it's sooo hard not to wonder . All I know is it's sucks when your period comes fingers crossed it stays awaaaaaaaay for us x

MrsS147 · 04/07/2019 21:15

@FairyDustSprinkles glad to know I’m not alone! Sometimes think I’m crazy thinking about all these things 🤪

I’m thinking of sharing with DH, so I’ll take 9 months plus holidays and he’s take the 3 unpaid months. So if I was to get pregnant now I’d go off the start of March next year and go back after the new year in 2021 which sounds like a good time to go back! Which would be the plan but I guess that may end up changing when it came to the time!

@MrsS147 OMG I do the same so I literally look at my calendar and work out when I'd go on maternity leave glad to know I'm not alone . I'd want to go on maternity leave at 29 weeks would be nice to be off from work around Christmas . When would u take leave ?

OP posts:

MrsS147 · 04/07/2019 20:50

Actually reading that back it sounds like I’d be taking maternity leave with my mum 😆 I meant talking with her not actually taking it with her!

MrsS147 · 04/07/2019 20:47

@FairyDustSprinkles definitely easier said than done! My mum is such an enabler, was talking about potential due dates and when I’d take maternity leave with her the other day 😂 need someone to stop me, not enable it!!

@MrsS147 yes I think best way is to not tell him when it's your fertile week just pee on your sticks in secret . Two week wait is torture though . My mum keeps saying if u keep thinking about it it won't happen but that's easier said than done x
