I've created us all another thread as we filled the last one!

@mommybear05 I had no idea how long I'd feed for. I never thought I'm definitely going to bf, once he was born though, all I wanted was to get bf right. Every time he woke in the hospital i buzzed for the midwives to check we had got the latch right.

He's already asked more today than he did yesterday and has been difficult to distract!

Morning Ladies - took a FRER this morning because I couldn't help myself and it was negative 😩.

I am CD20 potentially 10DPO according to my app but who knows as my CB sticks didn't capture an LH surge so I am in limbo with that one. My cycles post MC have been between 20-24 days long. I know they are still levelling out as I used to be between 27-30 days. I suppose unless my cycle has lengthened then I am probably out for this month too.

Checked CM and it was randomly white and a bit egg whitey (Sorry TMI) been doing my CB OPK daily still and that was still bloody flashing so dont think it is anything to do with potential late OV. X

@Hayleylou89 yes I don't think mine ever went back to their previous size pri pregnancy, have stayed very veiny since!

TerribleImagination · 16/04/2020 22:13

@Ejb86 I’m crossing everything for you this month!! Hopefully we either both get a BFP or at least have a normal cycle!

Ejb86 · 16/04/2020 21:59

@TerribleImagination cd15 and no peak. Was CD 17 last month though then AF brought that early nasty shock!

@Renna definitely it always helps! Symptom spotting is just driving me crazy at the moment. X

Hayleylou89 · 16/04/2020 21:12

@francis05 I know what u mean mine arnt sore to touch but kinda heavy and stuff going up and down stairs but then my boobs have stayed about a size bigger since my pregnancy so its so hard to tell if its a symptom or not.

@Renna joined the frer bus have u? i ordered the 4 pack on amazon 🙈😂 I will do a cheapy tomorrow, doubt ill see anything at 7dpo but its worth a shot ... definitely not feeling pregnant but i do think we will have some bfp's in this thread 🙏 xx

Renna · 16/04/2020 20:49

@francis05 I think I'm doing the same with the symptom spotting ... my boobs feel a little achey but not fully like they have before. And I keep getting heart burn last few days .. but that could be from drinking cranberry juice to ease cystitis symptoms 🤣 .. plus I'm only 5dpo so tell myself that's too soon to feel anything.. 🤣🙄
I still have the odd glass of wine here and there like @VP91x . I think I need it to de stress and relax during this mad time locked in doors symptom spotting 🤣🙄 xx

VP91x · 16/04/2020 20:26

@Renna those FRER are way too tempting when you havr them in the bathroom cupboard!! Haha.

@francis05 ah, I have still been enjoying some wine until I know either way. Hopefully it doesn't effect things too much but definitely helps me relax! X

TerribleImagination · 16/04/2020 20:18

@Ejb86 30th would give me a 27 day cycle, so no idea if that’ll be right or not! Probs not going by the last 2 cycles! However I’m CD14 now and no peak OPK yet... so could be a longer cycle!

@SmileyT Hiiii other potential testing buddy! What CD are you on?

francis05 · 16/04/2020 20:17

Thank you @SmileyT @Rainboehope11 @Renna that's really helpful, but unfortunately nit really feeling any of that. Hmm think I could be making up symptoms in my head.
Husband wanted me to have a glass of wine with him tonight, lost count if the amount of times I've told him I'm not drinking at the moment!!

Rainbowhope11 · 16/04/2020 18:50

@francis05 my boobs were swollen, felt like they were going to pop! They would hurt even if not touched, and would hurt even more if they were not in a bra. I had to sleep in sports bras at night because it would be too painful otherwise. I also noticed that if I was in a cold place (freezer section in grocery store) or a cool breeze hit me, they would burn, felt like they were on fire!

Renna · 16/04/2020 18:14

Excited for you all thinking of testing next few days xxx I've ordered some frer off Amazon... you're all bad influences on me🤣🤣 before I wouldnt think of testing until AF late .. I've ordered the frers in case I cave a few days before... 🤣 I'd still like to wait until AF due but I'm impatient already let alone another like 10 days I have to wait ..
Cant wait to see some BFPs as I reckon were bound to have some in this thread 🌈🤞😍

@francis05 .. The sore boobs I had when pregnant last time was like an achey pain and if had pressure on them would feel sore . I guess its similar to some pain people get with AF but was more so and more consistent xx

SmileyT · 16/04/2020 17:36

@francis05 well if you have a couple to use and you think you may have ovulated on the 1st then could be perfect time.

I've never taken a HPT and it be negative so just feel like first month after MC probably isn't the time for me to face that, my friends often refer to me as emotionally unstable so that's probably why 😂

During my pregnancy my boobs felt like they were going to pop, they just felt achy and like somebody had injected water into them and the skin hadn't grown to accommodate. They also no longer fit into my bras but think that happens for me pre-AF aswell a bit xx

francis05 · 16/04/2020 17:31

So a question I've been meaning to ask but always feel too silly to post!... When people say they have sore or tender breasts do you mean sore to touch or can it mean they are more sore than normal when running/running up and down steps without a bra on?
Only asking as earlier in the week my boobs were sore and almost felt grazed, but nothing since. Although they do feel more painful when they bounce. I'm relatively small C cup btw x

Hayleylou89 · 16/04/2020 16:47

@francis05 ahh exciting... i couldnt wait either ill probably do a cheapy in the morning as i had 10 cheapys delivered with my opk delivery so might aswell but ill only be 7dpo tomorrow so not too optimistic with that but i love to pee on sticks so we will see x

francis05 · 16/04/2020 16:32

@SmileyT I would love to wait until Tuesday but not sure I have the willpower!! I have 2 frer & 4 ic left although not sure I'm trusting the ic's this time around.

SmileyT · 16/04/2020 16:29

Hope we'll be testing buddies @Ejb86 @TerribleImagination 🤞

@francis05 yeah maybe wait until it's at least 28days as think that's an 'average' cycle and then you if it's just too early you won't have the dissapointment of a BFN, how many tests did you get? Enough to just try every day? If you've got a few maybe you can try one 👌🏾 xx

VP91x · 16/04/2020 16:13

@Hayleylou89 I ordered some OPKs today too so I can use them with the femometer app in case I am out this month. Xx

francis05 · 16/04/2020 15:20

@Hayleylou89 yeah I think so, not sure I'll hold out until Saturday.

dinosaur17 · 16/04/2020 15:19

@Hayleylou89 Oooh yay! Hope you don’t need them!!

@francis05 I honestly don’t know how I’d resist the temptation!!

Ejb86 · 16/04/2020 14:49

@TerribleImagination 30th would give me a 28 day cycle. Have only had 1 of those since September so I'll probably be out by then, or have already tested, but the theory is I wait until then Grin

OP posts:
Hayleylou89 · 16/04/2020 14:29

@francis05 ... u waiting until tomorrow fmu? Xx

TerribleImagination · 16/04/2020 14:16

@Ejb86 AF due 30th for me this month! So we’re still synced up 😆

francis05 · 16/04/2020 13:52

My frer tests have just arrived.... '' must resist temptation''

Hayleylou89 · 16/04/2020 13:44

@dinosaur17 hopefully i wont be needing them though 👌🏼🙄
