Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...

@AKcheer yes we’re always here which is usually why I’m moaning every 2 mins as you have to listen to me (well read what I say)😂
Fitbit says it’ll be next weekend so expect will be the Sunday. The only good thing I have going for me is my cycles are only 26 day’s so it always come back around quickly.

@Ughmaybenot feeling for you, I had a good cry Wednesday night about it all. Yeah my OH is very what will be will be, which is positive but also I want it now haha. It’s so hard when you’re conditioned to it not happening, it’s so hard to wonder why it’s not happening when you’ve changed something and like I think TV and movies have always made me think once I pee on a stick it will be positive. It hurts a bit more for me than my OH I think because I’m ready now for a baby whereas he’s quite chill to just get ready to be a father when the time comes if that makes sense?

@LS2020 oh I’ve done that too 😂
I had a bit of a wobble last night, I just feel really sad that it’s not happened yet. I mean, I really do think it will happen at some point but I’m feeling a bit impatient to be honest. It’s six months of trying at the start of August (albeit only two, three at a push, real cycles I suppose), and I really did think it would’ve happened by now.
DH, on the other hand, has gone all philosophical about it, and has just been seeing it as a nice thing that we’ve had a whole year of ‘just’ being married, just us, which is really sweet I suppose.

but not the point 😂

@LS2020 definitely! These forums are so nice as well having a chat with everyone!! A new fresh start is always good. When do you reckon your ovulation dates are?

@AKcheer oh don’t worry, it’s why we’re all here to learn and get support! Haha yeah I’m actually doing ok with it because my cycles have been up to something funky and felt like I’ve not ovulated so hoping this will be a fresh start 🤞🏻

Thanks @Ughmaybenot - glad to hear SMEP is going well and you didn’t have to hunt him down in the fields 🤣

So disappointing that AF has rocked up for you guys @LS2020 and @CaribouCarafe that sucks!
I’m on CD 16 and still doing pretty well with smep. Came home on my lunch break the other day, so I could be home for a quickie as DH was back too, to swap machinery at the yard at home... no no, come hither my darling 😂

@CaribouCarafe oh no I just saw AF Is here. Oh noooooo. Don’t worry positive vibes....next cycle!!!!!

@LS2020 Oh I obviously didn’t research them properly haha!And oh no to AF...just not the thing we want to see b it stay positive there’s always next cycle and at least you get to BD soon again lol and have some cocktails

@CaribouCarafe thank you I just think I get a bit paranoid!!!

Ah sorry to hear that @CaribouCarafe but at least you’re getting to move on a few days quicker from a non hopeful cycle 😊

@AKcheer yay for your OPK! I’m swapping back to CB this month I think as the cheapies are rubbish. That’s what happens with OPKs though, you should get a surge which is what makes you ovulate 😊

Well AF has hit me full force now so glad I have GP lined up to start getting some tests done. Wishing lots of baby dust and good vibes for you all DTD at the moment! Xx

I hope so! And il try again later tonight LOL.

Haha I totally get what your saying. I’m in the same boat on top of that haven’t been able
to go gym because of Covid and I just feel so out of shape.

How weird they always say take something like pregnacare. What are you taking now?

Also - how long do you guys have a positive opk for. Yday mine was high and today it’s low - is that normal??

@CaribouCarafe no problem! I think conceive plus is a bit watery but it’s fine!! But these vitamins I’ve just been having pregnacare because google told me to LOL

@LS2020 @CaribouCarafe Can you imagine!! Sorry Hubby let me just add some lube up my vag and wait 30 mins. Attractive!???? What about being in the moment!!! I can’t do things like this because it’s too planned.

I got my first high on opk yday and came home in evening and got jiggy with it! Exciting!! Let’s see what the opk says today!

@CaribouCarafe I know, I’m so jealous of the illusion my OH has of all the exciting spontaneity DTD not knowing that every move has been calculated by me with army precision 😂

Haha but not a minute before! Careful you don’t get like those dogs who get hungry at the sound of a bell and he hears a kitchen timer and gets excited 😂😂😂

@AKcheer @CaribouCarafe yeah a little goes a long way with them so be careful when using. I think preseed you’re actually supposed to put in 30 mins before which probs help it’s dries up but who has time for that?! I’ve used both and don’t have a massive preference on. I’ve only just started using conceive plus and they don’t come with applicators which is the only downside I think

Don’t apologise @LS2020 I’m new to this!! Still getting hold of the lingo!! Oh wow okay didn’t know that. That’s something new for me to research into!!

@CaribouCarafe I been using it on and off. I thought it would feel weird for hubby but he was like he can’t tell a difference which is good

@CaribouCarafe yea I guess the dying doesn’t sound like such good craic 😂

@CaribouCarafe haha yeah one that the ISS can see from space 😂
Thanks, I’m weirdly ok as had a v strange cycle. More just annoyed cos I promised OH we would start GP checks as past 1 year mark and I hate being poked with needles!!

@CaribouCarafe RHR dropped this am so think it’s deffo AF for me now. Don’t think it’s from wearing face masks as work from home and they’re the proper horrid ones where there’s no head. Still not feeling much tho, no cramps or anything.

@AKcheer ah sorry, RHR is resting heart rate. If you have a Fitbit or similar, there’s a theory your heart rate matches a similar pattern to doing BBT (don’t know what stands for but checking your temp with a thermometer each morning) but obv requires less work. Idea behind being if it continues to go up, you’re likely to get a BFP 😊
