@Twinkletoes85 ah interesting, well that timing would make sense, I've not seen that.

@KK251289 just another thought, are you 100% sure on your ovulation day? It could be ovulation pain possibly? Or else the increase in progesterone just toying with us Hmm

Twinkletoes85 · 12/06/2020 08:08

@skittles2003 I have actually read that restless legs can be associated with ovulation/early pregnancy. I'm not sure exactly what triggers it but it's just another one of those fun symptoms to keep us guessing haha

I've also had really bad restless legs this week (every evening post ov) - again not sure how it can be linked, but everything seems like it can be caused by hormones!

skittles2003 · 12/06/2020 07:44

@KK251289 I haven't had it that early but had AF type cramps 3 and 4 dpo this month (now 5dpo), which you're right, doesn't make it much fun. I'm not even sure how it can happen!

Aokbaby · 12/06/2020 07:43

@Annny27 lol most likely🙈

Annny27 · 12/06/2020 07:40

Morning everyone 9dpo now :)

@aokbaby I used to do bbt and sometimes would get an occasional low one. Perhaps you slept with your mouth open or something?

Aokbaby · 12/06/2020 07:22

Any of you ladies who track bbt have really low days, mine is 35.9 today and it is usually 36.4, is this normal and I'm just cold lol

Swifty2 · 12/06/2020 07:00

@notyetamumbuttrying my cycles are irregular, last few cycles have been 28-39.

KK251289 · 11/06/2020 23:55

Anyone ever had AF symptoms day after 1dpo? I've had stomach and leg cramps today, same as when AF is due? This is going to make the waiting weeks even more fun... NOT 🙄

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/06/2020 22:54

Yah that's the thing isn't it @Nat4392 esp with short cycles. Mine knows I'm in fw straight after period ends and I always tell him when it ends cos he's always so scared to come near me in case I'm still on, so I always have to go helloooooo, you can come near me again lol! I'm just bored of it all now. I'm sure I'll snap out of it!
Ooh you're one behind me @Swifty2. What's your cycle length like?

Nat4392 · 11/06/2020 22:42

@notyetamumbuttrying @Swifty2 I think the fertile week is even more stressful than the TWW! I really hate the pressure of DTD to a schedule and it’s just so forced and unromantic. We’ve agreed that I won’t tell DH when I’m ovulating this month but I’m sure it’ll be pretty obvious 🙈

Swifty2 · 11/06/2020 22:02

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm cycle 8! And I agree with you and @Nat4392 being calm is sooooo hard!

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/06/2020 21:58

Ah yes @Nat4392 that's right! Just trying to get my mind in gear for fw, really can't be arsed anymore lol! I'm sure I'll change my mind next week of course 😂

Nat4392 · 11/06/2020 21:54

@notyetamumbuttrying I’m trying to be calm about it this month but it’s pretty much impossible! I’m cycle 11 now, think I’m one ahead of you.

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/06/2020 21:46

Yay cycle buddies @Nat4392 @Swifty2 as always I'm telling myself I'll be calm and relaxed this month but how do you stop your brain from going into overdrive?! 🤷🏾‍♀️🤪 I am getting fed up now tho. I know you're cycle 10 now Nat. What cycle are you swifty?

Nat4392 · 11/06/2020 21:10

@notyetamumbuttrying I’m cd3 so I’m pretty much the same!

Swifty2 · 11/06/2020 20:24

@notyetamumbuttrying not counting today's spotting tomorrow will be CD1 for me so I'm only a couple of days behind you!

@Seafrontsky thank you so much! It's so nice to have the support from this group!

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/06/2020 19:58

@DSC1 I hope you do!!
Thank you 😊

Seafrontsky · 11/06/2020 19:44

@Posy1 it was my fertility meassage lady who said about the 2.75. It was only a few weeks ago and I have been really trying to look after my diet and also taking thyroid support. If AF comes I'm going to ask GP to retest. As I understand it it will take a few months to come down with a really strict diet and I'm struggling with super strict tbh.

@Swifty2 do what you need to do my love. Bath sounds lovely. Really feel for you on this one, our bodies like to really make it hard on us dont they?! All the treats and a bit of a wallow and onto the next.

DSC1 · 11/06/2020 19:17

@notyetamumbuttrying I have one FRER left and I have told myself I’m not using it unless I genuinely believe I have a reason to. Fingers crossed. Good luck for your upcoming cycle!

Swifty2 · 11/06/2020 18:49

@seafrontsky I'm ok thanks! I tried to do a workout after work but I was sooo not into it so I gave up after 20 minutes and had a nice hot bath instead! Af isn't in full flow yet but plenty of brown cm so I'm 99% sure I'm out.
On to the next cycle!

Posy1 · 11/06/2020 18:46

@DSC1 @Seafrontsky that's really interesting about TSH levels. Thanks for the info. I found a blood result from a few years ago and my TSH level was 3 then.😖 Will be interesting to to see what it is now.
@Seafrontsky did they give you medication for your TSH when it was 2.75? Was it your GP that said it was high for conception?
@marym1986 I don't know too much about prolactin I'm afraid. Are your cycles regular?

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/06/2020 18:41

@DSC1 that's what I hate about early testing too! It's then like a double blow getting bfn and af!
Cd2 today so not sure who I have in my cycle range on here?

DSC1 · 11/06/2020 17:45

@Annny27 cycle buddy! I am trying not to test early anymore - I did so for the first 8 or 9 cycles and hated seeing the BFN and then thinking maybe I’ve tested too early and still symptom spotting. What date are you due on? According to Flo I’m due AF the day of my LGs birthday (15th) but I ovulated a day or so later than what Flo predicted so don’t think will be due until 17th.

Marym1986 · 11/06/2020 17:40

Good to know about Tsh levels. Due to being unable able to get blods done at gp, I recently had preparing for pregnancy bloods done through medi checks including Vitamin D, Tsh, fsh, lh and prolactin. All were OK except prolactin which was high, going to see if I can get an appointment with GP now to see if I can have prolactin test repeated. Though I have been told that raised prolactin can be due to stress, having any increased blood results is making me more stressed 😏 Has anyone had and successfully treated high prolactin?
