Hi Ladies, any of you out there around cd 8 looking for someone to chat with during the rollercoaster ride that is ttc? A lot of my friends already have kids and I’m feeling a bit left behind. xo

@Sammiantha2020 not yet. Im waiting until af arrives first before I start reading it properly. I think out this month as my symptoms have disappeared and tbh it could've have been due to the water infection I had yesterday (which now seems to have gone this morning) 🙌🏽. Im defo going to try smep next cycle. Ill be joining you soon 😂

I think your temp has to stay high for at least 18 dpo If you are pregnant. For example mines started to go down yesterday and that was my heaviest af day x

Aw @Sammiantha2020 google is the worst thing ever. Does anyone know how long your temp stays high for?

@EB211 that sounds like a lot of fun...well... for those not doing the prepping! Google is the worst thing us ladies have available when our minds are in overdrive, just remember there’s a lot of naf info on there too! x

@Sammiantha2020 we are hosting a Burns night supper on Saturday so prepping for that is keeping my mind busy and away from google! :)

This is a pretty tiring/painful af ... I’ve been asleep every night this wk before 10pm 😴. I’ll be keeping everything crossed for you both this wkend, and once you get BFP’s I’ll be looking for tips!
Have you read anymore of that book? @Jenna30ttc x

Think next Tuesday but my cycles have been like 28/45 now this one since coming off the pill. So 28 would be Monday am sure!
Am sure I'll be with you both also next month. Dizziness is fine but I feel wiped out even though I slept for 9 hours lol!

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 21:00

@Wintergal thanks! Ive heard that. Ill grab some tomorrow. I was just about to say I don't feel any twinges but then I did. Hows the dizziness? When will you be officially late? Sorry if you've said before. @Sammiantha2020 I'm 70% sure that I will be joining you next cycle. We can continue venting again then 😂

Wintergal · 23/01/2020 20:55

My pain side has moved to the other side. Also the same feelings as you @Jenna30ttc . Try some cranberry juice helped me in the past. Am so glad tomorrow is Friday this week has been so long!

@Jenna30ttc well my oh works @ Durham uni but I still work in Glasgow Mon-Thurs (but work from home on a Fri)...bit unfortunate but it’s the way it is at the mo! But we still get to spend a lot of time together so not complaining too much, however it does make the ttc journey a bit more difficult at times...hence why the cd 12 ov was a bit awkward! That’s a nightmare re the infection... I hope you get something to clear it up ASAP! Well I’ll be happy to share the next cycle with you girls if this isn’t you bfp! It’ll be so much easier to have ppl to blether to ☺️. x

@Sammiantha2020 do you go away for work often? I bet it is nice to spend time with OH if you are away for a few days. Sometimes it's nice just having a chilled weekend. Yeah a urine infection I'm hoping it doesn't last long and just goes away. My twinges and cramps have gone. I don't think it's the month for me. But just happy for this cycle to be nearly over. Its been the longest cycle ever (feels like it anyway). What do you do for work? I work from home pretty much 5 days a week which I'm glad about.

@Sammiantha2020 I have an engagement do on Saturday so that should hopefully take my mind of things. Ive been suffering all day from this water infection and I can't get a drs appointment till next week. Are you doing anything nice this weekend?

Wintergal · 23/01/2020 18:32

Am telling my self it just normal af pains in the hope I hold off until start of the week at least

Have you all got any plans to take your mind off testing this wkend? x

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 18:13

@fingerscrossed95 I hope so! 😩😩

fingerscrossed95 · 23/01/2020 18:11

@Jenna30ttc hopefully they are good signs! Keep getting period like pains though so I'm expecting af around the corner

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 18:07

@fingerscrossed95 oooo we're cycle buddies by the sounds of it. I do know what you mean I had shooting pains in my boobs but they don't last long and also itchiness. Which is odd. Not constant but I found that every odd.

fingerscrossed95 · 23/01/2020 17:59

@Jenna30ttc I'm due the 28th too! I'm very tired today putting it down to the weather, and my boobs are kind of tingly but kind of having pains every so often but on the inside not to touch if anyone gets what i mean 🤣

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 17:53

Im due on 28th so another 5 days yet. I guess only time will tell 🙄 I don't feel obviously different. So I dunno. Its all very confusing 😂.

Sammiantha2020 · 23/01/2020 17:39

@Jenna30ttc I’ll need to try something different as clearly what I have been doing hasn’t worked 🤣.
When is af due? I knew at 10dpo last time...I just felt ‘different’ x

OP posts:
Wintergal · 23/01/2020 17:39

I was tempted to try that next month also see if it's more relaxed

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 17:36

@Sammiantha2020 have you thought about doing SMEP? I think its worth a shot. Not sure if it's the relaxed approach but if af arrives for me I think I'll do that next cycle.

Im okay I just hope the next few days fly by so I can test. But I think I will only test until I'm a day or two late (so i say) 😂😂

Wintergal · 23/01/2020 16:34

I don't it if it's just my body playing tricks on me I'll have to see if Af arrives next week xx

@Jenna30ttc I’ve known loads of folk who have had absolutely no symptoms throughout their entire pregnancy ...everyone is unique! We worry ourselves sick trying to compare ourselves to others... we need to relax!
I’m ok, I’m on day 2 & still pretty heavy...usually lasts at least 5 days, but then I’ll get started ASAP as I was not prepared to ov cd 12 last cycle at all, but I will be this time 🤣 knowing my luck it’ll change again! How are you?
@EB211 honestly I’ve been ttc since last July with 1 mmc @ 11wks and I’m pretty sure not 1 cycle has felt the same.
@Wintergal dizziness was one of my very first signs that stayed with me for about 2 wks after my d&c (until hcg dropped). Sounds promising x
