😂😂😂😂 beautiful house decoration @VP91x

VP91x · 12/06/2020 16:59

@MichT4 haha thank you 🥰 I saw someone else do it and thought oh that's clever.
Just so you know the level of crazy I am at, they are on the mantelpiece under my TV in the front room 😂

Hahah, definitely need a second job xx

@VP91x your handwriting is really lovely, and the organisation here is impressive!
They are light, but you’ll probably get a lovely dark peak which is better than loads of highs where you can’t see the progression.

Bankrupt and pregnant! I’ll take that. Might have to get a second job when the savings have been spent on pomegranate juice 😂😂

VP91x · 12/06/2020 16:50

@MichT4 have you seen anything so disappointing in all your life? But, it will happen. It is just a case of when.

Hahah, literally we are all going to be bankrupt! Xx

🙄🙄 I wonder how much the brand paid to have that written as a claim! Fine! I’ll remortgage and buy some tomorrow 😂

Oh god, these cheapies!! Must keep peeing until I see something conclusive. I’ll dry up like a prune. Do you think prunes are good for the uterine lining? 😂

VP91x · 12/06/2020 16:44

@MichT4 I'm forever checking my cervix too 😂😂

I normally love a cheapie juice too but apparently its the brand that has the magic seal of approval. Not sure why, but going with it.

Yeah keep testing for a few days anyway it's the only way to know until you get a temp rise.

My cheapies are quite frankly pathetic 😂😂😂

@Jazper balls I haven't been to Tesco yet!! Going to go this evening. Did you get it from there?? Haha 😂 all I've drank today is grapefruit juice 🤔. Dedication with the fresh one too. Let me know how it tastes!!

OP posts:
MichT4 · 12/06/2020 16:36

😂😂 @Jazper. I don’t know where you are, but morissons has their own pomegranate juice. 70p for a litre, much more up my street. Although if that shows more success I’ll be investing also!

@VP91x it’s not my friend. I don’t know what to think really. Would you say assume that I peaked earlier today then? I think I need to just assume it’ll have happened in the next few days to be in line with my already long cycle, so just carry on DTD until then. How are your cheapies?

I just had a shower and thought I’d check CM (sorry, again) and then suddenly thought my poor body! Being prodded and having it’s CM swiped from it, dehydration, holding wees 😂😂 probably hates me! Better get me PG quick so I stop bothering it 😜

Jazper · 12/06/2020 16:30

@elliew818, it totally tastes like balls 😂

@VP91x At £3.70 a bottle, if this doesn't get me pregnant soon, I'm going to have to buy shares in the bloody stuff 🙈🤣
I went all in and bought two fresh ones too. OH can't wait for breakfast tomorrow 😝 'bacon sarnie dear?' 'No, Pomegranate darling' 😂😂😂

@ttcin2020 wowzers that's a super positive OPK. I would say that temps are probably all over the place with your shifts xx

I'm assuming femometer has put you as having ovulated?

@MichT4 femometer isn't being kind to you is it? Although they do seem lighter after your peak. Definitely good to have a more relaxed night. By tomorrow if they are super faint then you know where you are.

@Renna hope all is okay? 😊 Xx

Hi all xx trying to catch up most days but have lots going on 😴 but hello to the new comers so sorry you have to join and sending you lots of luck xx @SmileyT I thought the same lots to catch up thread moving fast , does suck more ladies having to join 💙💞🌈 just hope everyone gets their deserved BFPs soon xxx

MichT4 · 12/06/2020 16:00

@ttcin2020 that is a lovely positive OPK! I’m very jealous. I’d say you ovulated and you’re temps are a just all over the place with your sleep patterns. Not sure though, sorry I can’t help more.

@Bellabubble ours is new and we had loads of snags too. Some are on hold now as they aren’t fixing them at the moment but I’ll have another list when they are. They have done everything we asked though, just some of it was painful and stressful! We haven’t been able to paint yet because of the movement, I’d loved to have decorated while we’ve been in.

So the OPK story here continues to baffle me. Took it again after 4 hours - I accidentally had a nap, that helped with the holding. It’s now saying between 70-80 which I think is the cusp of peak, but the lines look light to me.
Not sure I can be arsed with the rest of today 😂 I’m going to have a drink, DTD and just keep at it and assume I’ll ovulate at some point.

Bloody OPKs, stupid lines 😂😂

Hi everyone!

Just wondering if anyone can offer any advice..
I've had one period since my miscarriage in late March/early April.
The first cycle I ovulated on day CD33 (with the MC full flow bleeding being CD1), had a lovely bbt rise and then spotting started 9dpo with a temp drop and a full flow 3 days later. It was really heavy but ended very quickly after 3 days.

This month I've used OPK and appear to have got my peak on CD22. It was an extremely strong OPK.
I work half nights half days so haven't managed to track my bbt well this month other than on my days off. Since ovulation I've done 4 night shifts so only managed 3 temps on my days off none of which have been raised at all.
Can I assume I didn't ovulate or put it down to the fact I've not been consistent with my temperatures and just ignore it?

My body feels a bit odd this month, I usually get sore boobs exactly one week before my period but they've been sore since just after ovulation.

Also anyone had a strong OPK like this? I'm a bit worried it's a sign of something not being right?

@Bellabubble I can imagine nursery /early years teachers go home and don't want anyone to touch them 😂😂 my daughter always wants to be in my space and it's a much sometimes.

I can't believe all those issues with your new build. Do they fix it for you?

@mrsssk ooh that's good stuff!! Glad you're in the TWW even though it'll be a long stretch. Get some socks on your feet and rest up, haha xx

mrsssk · 12/06/2020 15:36

Welcome to all the new joiners, sorry you've found yourself here and praying we all get our BFPs soon 🤞🏽

@Eli2020 your story sounds so similar to mine 😞

@vp91x I think you were correct with my OPKS. Tested today and it's gone even more (practically zero) so I'm hoping that peak had happened and we timed everything right fx!
Now for the dreaded TWW....

HE88 · 12/06/2020 15:30

@Bellabubble yeah that's the same here in Scotland with the school set up its sad to see but needs to be done I guess. Xx

Bellabubble · 12/06/2020 15:25

I have no idea what that little box is next to my thumbs up haha!!

Bellabubble · 12/06/2020 15:24

@he88 / yeh social distancing is a nightmare!! We had to set the room up so they were 2m apart when sat at the tables, then tbey all have their own tray of resources, but outside play and if it’s wet play inside makes it soooo hard for them! I’m such a believer in not being sat at desks all the time for lesrning too that it feels a bit alien to me! It’s so cute to watch them get to see their friends again though!!

@MichT4 we got a new build as they were being built in the area we were living in, but oh my god the snag list of stuff they haven’t done to a decent standard is crazy (literally have 3/4 of the plug sockets where you can’t push a plug in, cracks in the door, window catch broken, bannister not properly attached - the lost goes on!!) We used lockdown to go in to the property and paint it though - as it was classed as unoccupied! I was able to borrow my Dad who is a builder as we were living with my parents, and builders could continue to work (although Dad didn’t go to people’s houses in the big peak of it all) so it meant we painted 👍🏻 Now I keep making lists of things I want to buy for the house if I ever get spare money again 😂

@vp91x gosh I can imagine 2-3yr olds wouldn’t really get the whole social distancing bless them!! The little ones like to be all up in people’s personal space 😂 I ised to teach a nursery/reception class split and the nursery children were so tactile - I stopped wearing leggings/tights with dresses etc and just wore trousers in the end as they kept wanting to stroke the material bless them!

HE88 · 12/06/2020 15:21

@VP91x I'm feeling good thanks trying not to symptom spot. I'm basing my want to test early on the fact that I ovulated on my wedding anniversary and taking this as a lucky charm so stupid really ha ha hope you are doing OK xx

VP91x · 12/06/2020 15:12

Hey @SmileyT how are you? I was thinking of you this morning. Thought you might be taking some time out.

@HE88 I don't blame you, I get impatient from 7dpo for sure. How are you feeling xx

OP posts:
HE88 · 12/06/2020 14:58

Hi to all the newcomers I'm sorry that you find yourself here but this group is super supportive and everyone is lovely 🥰.

I'm 8dpo today and I told myself I wouldn't test until af was late but I'm starting to get ants in my pants and want to test early 🤦‍♀️.

SmileyT · 12/06/2020 13:50

Wowser just caught up on a few days of posts following my BFN earlier this week, a lot has happened, I'm just mentally preparing for next week and next cycle.

Good luck to any testing over the weekend x

VP91x · 12/06/2020 13:27

@Northernsoul90 oh and I use the femometer ones too, they are great. I use their app too 😊 xx

@Nellle I have seen some savage responses on the AIBU boards. I always wonder what made someone be so angry on a forum 😂🤔

Ooh, sounds like you are fully set up! How have you been getting on with Pregnacare? I see lots of comments about it messing with cycles xx

@Northernsoul90 God 😩 I can't believe that happened after you'd seen the HB that morning. So unbelievablely cruel. You're so bravr to have had the procedure like that, doesn't sound pleasant at all. Sending you so much love xx

Yeah so, my bleeding initially stopped after like two days, but I felt like my lower tummy was in so much pain. Super tender, so I called my GP and they said they'd put me on antibiotics just in case but to keep an eye as I wasn't bleeding. A few days later I was still in so much pain, then started bleeding heavily again and passed big clots 😩. Called EPU who got me in for a scan and I still had more retained tissue. They offered me another ERPC, the tablet or to wait. This was on NYE so I took some time to make a decision and in those few days the rest came away. A few more big clots etc. Then my period returned on Feb 14 xx
