@HE88 I know I literally just got over one myself about a week or 2 ago and I got antibiotics from the GP because it wasnt shifting . The symptoms seem to be getting better thankfully so hopefully just a bit of cystitis from my 3 glasses of prosecco lol 🙄 xx I normally take cranberry tablets daily and have for years and I literally ran out earlier in the week .. so it may be that too ! So shows they probably work as a preventative. Got some more coming tomorrow xx

HE88 · 16/05/2020 17:18

@Renna thank you going to buy some. Oh hope you don't get a uti I'm just over one myself, going to stock up on cranberry tablets too. Xx

Renna · 16/05/2020 17:11

Sorry AF got you @SmileyT xxx hope you're still feeling those positive vibes you do most the time hun xxx hope you enjoyed your gin and recovered from your fall down the stairs ! X

I had like 3 glasses of prosecco last night, went straight to my head as I dont drink as much and I woke up with bloody cystitis again , was hoping it wouldnt turn into a UTI again .. but symptoms seem to be going again thank god . Literally 3 glasses has such an affect on me nowadays 🙄 x

@HE88 I got the attached calc fluor off amazon xx take 2 a day ... and you chew them ... which I only found out a few days after swallowing them haha ... xx

For those of you that have bought the calc fluor tablets what ones have you bought? Xx

Lmac2018 · 16/05/2020 16:01

Woke up today feeling incredibly dehydrated been drinking water loads since 4 oclokc this morning and only now has my mouth started to stop being dry... feeling a little sick but I'm about to eat a sandwich so

HE88 · 16/05/2020 15:35

@SmileyT that's my worry messing my cycles although before I fell they were a but all over the place but since my MC they seemed to have settled down a bit. Ah sorry af came I'm due Monday. Xx

Wishingfornumber2 · 16/05/2020 15:12

Thanks @VP91x will let you know! Really hope you get yours too! Xx

VP91x · 16/05/2020 14:29

@Wishingfornumber2 yeah that's probably the best way to do it. I really hope you get it tomorrow so you won't be guessing 🤞 xx

SmileyT · 16/05/2020 14:22

@HE88 yeah I've read so much info and if you read about anything long enough somebody has something negative to say. My cycles are pretty steady so my main thing is not wanting to mess them up and make them irregular. AF came today so that's me officially onto the next cycle.

@Mommybear05 I've followed you again and this cycle has been 27 days so think I'm like a week behind you again... here's to our Feb babies ❤️

Wishingfornumber2 · 16/05/2020 13:55

@VP91x Yeah would be so handy if they just did a pack of 10 top up sticks or something like that. Think I would be more annoyed if I got another flashing smiley tomorrow as will just have to guess when my peak will be or even if it does come. I think I will test tomorrow morning and see what comes of that. Xx

VP91x · 16/05/2020 13:06

@Wishingfornumber2 I think it should still catch it in the morning, right? What would you be most annoyed at? Xx

VP91x · 16/05/2020 12:39

@Wishingfornumber2 it is beyond annoying to be at this point. Honestly the should bulk sell the things at a cheaper price haha xx

OP posts:
Wishingfornumber2 · 16/05/2020 12:36

@VP91x yes the CB ones are expensive! I have one more CB stick left. Debating whether to leave testing today and test tomorrow instead and hope for peak but could miss if I peak today. But if I test today and still flashing smiley I won’t know when my peak comes unless I splash out and buy another pack. Oh the dilemma! X

HE88 · 16/05/2020 12:33

@SmileyT ah I see good luck with it. I think this is the thing with the different things to use for ttc there is always mixed reviews. How are you feeling today? Xx

VP91x · 16/05/2020 11:54

@Bellabubble ahh that is good! I think I paid about £14 for my femometer ones. They come with 50 tests and then 20 PG tests. Hoping I won't need any after this month 🤞🤞🤞 xx

Morning ladies hope everyone is ok today! I went outside this morning to peg my washing out and it's rather chilly up north, my boobs started aching while I was outside...now thinking this could be a sign but don't want to get my hopes up 🙈 my PT still haven't arrived from eBay so looks like I'm just gonna have to wait AF due Tuesday.
Hope everyone has a great day

Bellabubble · 16/05/2020 11:23

@VP91x I got a brand called clear and simple for the ic opks - and I found them to be really good! They were 30 for £5.99 which I thought was really reasonable (given the amount you can spend on the whole ttc journey!!) xx

SmileyT · 16/05/2020 11:23

@Mommybear05 yeah I think that our bodies are probably still adjusting, how are you feeling today? xx

Bellabubble · 16/05/2020 11:21

@Donnat89 I know what you mean - AF is due anywhen between next Weds to Monday for me 🙄 because I usually have either 27 or 29 days cycles - but my first one post mc was 31days - so now I’m thinking it’s probably better if I want into the week after next to test?! I think if AF hadn’t showed by then I’d be pretty sure without a test, but don’t know how I’d feel doing one before then and seeing a bfn!

SmileyT · 16/05/2020 11:10

@Diorissimo1985 CD1 is the first day of bleeding of your MC, last month my cycle was about 3 days longer than my normal cycles and I ovulated about 4 days later than I expected (that was with me counting the day I had surgery for MC as CD1 as mine was a MMC) some ladies don't have any delay to their cycle but yours sounds, like mine, just a few days delayed xx

Donnat89 · 16/05/2020 11:10

I checked my apps they are saying I'm actually 11DPO so I won't have to wait much longer

Haven't tested and don't plan too until Wednesday - that's when my aps say AF is due but I've been late last 2 cycles and didn't track properly so it's not exact . All I know it's next week AF is due .

Still have back ache and have had sharp cramping / pressure this morning so almost certain AF will appear just have to wait and see !

Being more chilled and not testing is helping though !

Mommybear05 · 16/05/2020 11:08

@Dipsy77 @SmileyT thanks I’m just going to assume it’s part of the getting back to normal. It’s stopped again now 🤷‍♀️

VP91x · 16/05/2020 10:48

@Wishingfornumber2 I hope so too!! I have 3 more IC tests and 3 more CB sticks so if it doesn't show up with them I will just have to rely on BBT, refuse to buy anymore for the month haha xx

Diorissimo1985 · 16/05/2020 10:41

Thank you @SmileyT - I used to ov cd13 before my miscarriage but I am so confused about what cd I’m on now as I don’t really know when to count cd1 as I technically didn’t have a period with the miscarriage last month... so confused!

Hello to everyone else and hope everyone is keeping positive

Ejb86 · 16/05/2020 10:14

@Doughnut100 I've switched from the easy ones as I was having issues with them not fading properly. I must just be ovulating even later this cycle Hmm
