Well since we are at the tail end!!

@Beau2020x @quiffy @Symptomspotter86 @BFP2020 @ange211

@Mumofboys17 no I think its from the pain, they aren't normally this bad and it's just making me nauseous 🤢 maybe it's from flying through different time zones ✈️🤷‍♀️

I know right it's so weird I'll even try to help it along but nothing works haha just can't finish! Xx

@Beau2020x yeah I think exactly the same, we booked it just after Christmas, so even if I am oh this cycle, it will only be about 4 months x were off to Gran Canaria for a week all inclusive where are you off to? x if I’m going to be pregnant, which I sincerely hope so, then I’m sure there will be some delicious mocktails 😂
I know I ovulated from left hand side and weirdly enough I can still feel a bit of a dull twinge x maybe my little egg is travelling around x come on little egg you can do this and make me a mummy 🥰

@Symptomspotter86 ahh buggarrr! Aren't men a strange breed...I think if my OH was into the whole trying thing, he'd feel quite empowered about 'putting a baby in me', you know, that is if I gave his ego a good boost. But he really isn't keen on planning sex or anything, I know he would find it a total turn off so I get where your OH is coming from.

@Katie1109 wooo us too! We go 1st week in June - where are you off to? I wasn't worried about being pregnant either (I would only be max half way through anyway even if I fell this cycle) but I would be gutted about not drinking! I hope to god I'm pregnant by June but who knows these days... that wouldn't even be a year trying for us at that point so there is every chance I will be able to have a cocktail or 20!

@Ellsbells112 I don't even know what normal is any more! The last few cycles I've had REALLY heavy uterine cramping right after ovulation for a couple of days. Not had that this time. But this time I've been having mild ovary twinges. I also get really sore nips right after ovulation for a few days - got that this cycle and last but never had that ever before. My body is totalllyyyy different to what it was 3 years ago!

Ellsbells112 · 21/01/2020 08:17

@Beau2020x if you don't normally cramp it could be a good sign, I normally cramp at 4dpo though so for me it's like Ahhh 🙄

@Symptomspotter86 sorry to hear that, don't worry though you have a few days still so just do what you can in that time

Morning x
@Mumofboys17 we have a holiday booked for early June so definitely something to look forward regardless of pregnancy x
I actually had a nice day yesterday. Work wasn’t too bad, we cooked a lovely meal at home last night and went for a evening walk and had a hot bath afterwards x
I’m 2DPO today so obviously nothing to report x
@Beau2020x I had cramps like that at 5-6 DPO when I got pregnant, sadly miscarried but I’m sure cramps that early were my sign x

Symptomspotter86 · 21/01/2020 07:56

Ergh. OH couldn't finish this morning. Got woken up 45 mins earlier for work for nothing. OH in a bad mood now as he thinks he is under too much pressure. Luckily no peak this morning so still time over next couple of days but feel like this month isnt our month now.

Mumofboys17 · 21/01/2020 06:41

@Beau2020x may have been a typo haha but I agree, food is life. Especially cramp foods 😉 I always crave chocolate or fatty greasy stuff when AF is due!

Well today's another day! AF still very much in full flow here 😬 DH and I were really feeling blue Monday yesterday, so booked a small family holiday for May 😂 something to look forward to and hopefully take my mind off everything else!
How's everyone else feeling this morning? X

Symptomspotter86 · 20/01/2020 21:54

@beau2020x amen sister. Food is definitely life

Beau2020x · 20/01/2020 21:45

@Symptomspotter86 no way I can put the words 'mild' and 'food' in the same sentence 😂😂 food is life

Symptomspotter86 · 20/01/2020 21:06

@Ellsbells112 haha true. Although I'm not even slightly in the mood for it today. May need a cheeky morning wake up call tomorrow.

@Beau2020x love some cramp food 🤣

Beau2020x · 20/01/2020 21:01

Foods? Today!

Beau2020x · 20/01/2020 21:01

@Symptomspotter86 hahahahaha angry sex 😂😂 @Ellsbells112 is right though, that is the best sex!

I've got mild ovulation type cramps foods. 4DPO and deffo not ovulation. Weird.

Ellsbells112 · 20/01/2020 20:54

@Symptomspotter86 hahaha angry sex = good sex 😀
I've been telling my OH he needs to release more than he does. We haven't done it in a while and I want new sperm 😑 so I'm gonna jump him probably not even for sex since we will be doing it loads end of the week😂 I'm hoping it helps his lil men.
Shit, the things we do mate.

Sorry I've been pretty quiet but been super busy with work. Hope everyone is good :)

Ergh I'm in such a bad mood today for no real reason. Even people eating on the tube made me want to have a meltdown. Got home and I'm angry at OH for no reason...he was standing in the way when I was trying to cook and I had to use all my strength not to shout at him. It is almost like PMS but on CD14 before I've even ovulated lol.

Anyway, did another opk with IC and it wasnt even mildly dark so like suggested I will take a break from DTD today and save my poor husband from my angry sex tonight.

Katie1109 · 20/01/2020 15:03

@Quiffy yep I'm in too!
My OH told me this morning that he had a dream we had a baby x he rarely ever remembers his dreams but has told me about it straight away this morning x Do OH's vivid dreams are taken into account as a pregnancy symptom at 1DPO? LOL :)

Mumofboys17 · 20/01/2020 14:35

@Quiffy that is deffo something I could get on board with 😉😂

Quiffy · 20/01/2020 14:33

@Symptomspotter86 I’d probably have the night off, see how the opk looks later :)

@Mumofboys17 haha we can have af parties every month 🤪😹

Katie1109 · 20/01/2020 14:03

@Symptomspotter86 I was in the same situation last week and I decided to just stop opks. I knew I will ovulated within next 4 days so just stopped and enjoyed DTD without added pressure of opks x but if you’re still using opks then I’d say give yourself a night off x

Mumofboys17 · 20/01/2020 13:52

I love how everyone is congratulating me on AF 😂 can we do this to each other every month haha, better than having a BFP!

@Symptomspotter86 I'd say you should be fine to wait another day but a 2nd OPK wouldn't hurt to be sure!! X

Symptomspotter86 · 20/01/2020 13:43

@Mumofboys17 so glad you are out of limbo and are now ready for a new cycle. I think we are all over the place on this thread on different cycle dates so dont worry about being out of sync.

Day 2 of flashing smiley for me today. My cheapie OPK is not getting darker though. I think it will be at least another 2 days before I get my peak. Not sure whether to DTD today or just wait until tomorrow. We did it yesterday but don't necessarily want to do it every day as dont want to be knackered and OH to be out of the good stuff come peak day. I'll test again tonight when I get home to see if opk has darkened.

Quiffy · 20/01/2020 12:33

@Mumofboys17 glad af is finally here! Stupid long cycle :(

@Beau2020x @Mumofboys17 there is some really crazy posts on MN. And £1000 sandals?! That’s beyond crazy. That’s super cute of DH though 😻😻

@Katie1109 get your lady bits resting up!

Katie1109 · 20/01/2020 10:31

@Ellsbells112 I must admit, I enjoyed DTD much more without added pressure of "we must do it now, I'm in peak". We DTD 4 times over the weekend, and it just felt like normal sex, not lets make a baby sex!

Ellsbells112 · 20/01/2020 10:22

@Mumofboys17 woohoooooo yasss you can start a new cycle boo!! Xx

@katie1109 good that you're taking more of a relaxed approach (I always say this but never can hahaha so go you!)

How is everyone? I'm cd8 today so getting close to the good stuff!! 😁

OP posts:
Mumofboys17 · 20/01/2020 09:38

@Beau2020x yeah I'm still tempted to do that tbh. I'll see how this cycle goes and if we get another BFN even with me throwing everything at it then I'll do it xx

@Katie1109 omg how right you are!! When the pinky discharge started yesterday I was like 'hmm.. implantation?' 😂😂 but yeah in the grand scheme of things I'm quite happy!! Xx

Katie1109 · 20/01/2020 09:21

@Mumofboys17 finally!! I know deep inside you wished it wouldn’t come and it was a slow starting pregnancy, but I’m happy for you that you’re out of a limbo and can focus on the next cycle xx
@Beau2020x thanks 😂 definitely deserve couple of days off x

Beau2020x · 20/01/2020 09:17

@Katie1109 haha! Bless your lady bits, you can have a couple of days off now!

@Mumofboys17 WOOHOOOOO finally!!! Thank god for that! At least now you can move on. I'd deffo be getting yourself in to the GP and mention irregular cycles if you haven't done before?
