@mrsssk I never used to get spotting before AF until after my mc - this was the first one where I had just half a day, then AF - although weirdly that was only 3days - I’m usually a 5 day. Hormones have a lot to answer for!! I have my fingers crossed for IB for you though!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@VP91x I’m soooo jealous of your Ikea trip - my nearest one is an hour away and the stuff I reeeeaaaallly want for the house is in stock there but apparently not available for home delivery. It’s only some small shelves :( Also - my oh had a moment last month, he was really struggling to finish the deed, although he was trying not to let on. I’m not going to tell him too much this month, but also - the time I fell pg we only did it once that month, and it was the mornjng after nc said I had ovulated - when apparently it’s like a 10% chance (why the hell I can’t seem to make it work now I have no idea!) so even doing it the day after isn’t a waste :) xx

SmileyT · 22/06/2020 20:44

@MichT4 haha man hormones is definitely a thing 😂

@VP91x yeah we moved here in November and they opened it like a month later so convenient as can get to Liverpool Street in like 20mins with a fast train 👌🏾 I was also wondering if the heat would make a difference but hoping I still see a post ov temp rise. What date are you testing? I've never used a FRER feel like I'm not a proper MNer if I don't get one at some point 😂

Welcome @Emsnewmum sorry for your loss, hope this is your period and you can reset and start again when you're ready xx

@Renna I seem to have a day off and then a last bit of bleeding since my MC but never had it before and it's not really brought on by exercise just seems to happen no idea why 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Ejb86 fingers crossed for testing on Friday or at least a nice long LP this month x

HopeForRainbowbaby · 22/06/2020 20:17

@Emsnewmum welcome! I'm sorry you found yourself her. How do you feel? ❤️

Ejb86 · 22/06/2020 20:12

9dpo tomorrow. LP last month was 9 days, but ovulated late on day 24. This month I ovulated on day 16 so expecting AF any day. I keep having the odd twinge but trying not to read too much into it. Thought I'd probably test Friday when I'm 12dpo and cd28, if AF hasn't arrived by then.

Ejb86 · 22/06/2020 20:08

@renna almost every cycle, I dry up, then get a little bit more couple of days later. Can be brought on by anything really.

Renna · 22/06/2020 19:25

Hey ladies xx hope you're all getting on okay xx any one have it where you're on like CD 4 and you think AF is finished as no bleeding for like nearly 25 hours then you exercise, I just did a HIIT workout and some weights, then you start bleeding a little bit again . Like exercise brings on bleeding a little bit around AF ? XX

Emsnewmum · 22/06/2020 19:04

Hi all,

Hope you don't mind if I join? I think I'm having my first period after a mmc (not 100 percent as had complications and never fully stopped bleeding)

Wishing you all success in this emotionap journey! X

VP91x · 22/06/2020 18:50

@SmileyT ahh amazing, handy now they built Meridian Water! Something in between going to Tottenham Hale. I thought it was going to be busy, fully went expecting to just turn around again 😂

Ahh I hate that! When people are patronising is is the worst. Makes me rage. The thing that is annoying about temping this week is it's going to be boiling and so naturally we might have slightly elevated temps at night. Upstairs in my house it gets so hot! It sounds like everything is on track for your ovulation though which is fab.

I need to order my FRERs after the weekend 😂! So weird though because my LP was 11 days last cycle. Technically 10 dpo is early to test but then AF would be due a couple of days later 🤷 xx

MichT4 · 22/06/2020 18:39

@SmileyT it did get better, I barely heard from him 😂. I don’t know if he was in a bad mood because I challenged him, but I do that all the time so it shouldn’t have made a difference 🤣. Man hormones 🙄

Hate when that happens early on though and then you’re just not in a good mood, especially for work.

Definitely agree on the gin and a tasty take away 😋

SmileyT · 22/06/2020 18:30

@VP91x Haha thought that might've been where you went that's exactly where I live, I'm a 4min walk from meridian water station, yeah that IKEA has actually been pretty quiet even the Tesco has no queues anymore most of the time. My boss is just an idiot sometimes and winds me up as she treats us all like children and can be so patronising (she is currently ttc so hope she isn't on these threads 😂). But all good now I'm home and will be having a chilled one with some snacks and maybe a Gin ✌🏾

Yeah my temps have risen last 3 days but I'm expecting ovulation on Friday or Saturday and actually had a little bit of EWCM today and had this 4 days before ovulation last month so makes sense 👌🏾 we've DTD the last two days, will have a day off today and will go again in the morning and take it from there.

I'm sure you'll sort it out with DH this whole process can be so stressful for all so don't be too hard on yourself or him (although I'll be losing my shit in a few days when this happens to me 😂)

@HopeForRainbowbaby ooh I could so do with a takeaway, might float this idea with OH 😋

HopeForRainbowbaby · 22/06/2020 18:28

@VP91x the ikea haul sound great 👍I could probably do an hour long haul of things bought via amazon 😂

@SmileyT I agree with @VP91x maybe some nice wine and good food ( or fast food) can cheer you up 😘

VP91x · 22/06/2020 18:10

@SmileyT the one in Edmonton/Tottenham whatever they class it as these days, haha. By Meridian Water station. Was surprised there was no queue at all. Some ceiling lights, artificial plants, baskets, candles etc! Love an IKEA haul. I know I was so upset last night/this morning, but what can you do, he explained a bit. I'm assuming we will talk more later. How comes you had a bad day? Maybe some wine/tipple of choice and nice food?

4 days until ovulation day right? Will you start DTD now? Did you have the three higher temps? I'm sure it will adjust itself. I've decided Femometer is crazy 😂 xx

SmileyT · 22/06/2020 18:02

Just catching up after work...

@VP91x ahh I'm sorry about yesterday I had the same thing last month and it's so frustrating but just remember it only needs one time and you've done more than that. Glad that you had a chat and made up and Really hoping this is your month 🤞 which ikea did you go to? Buy anything nice? x

@MichT4 I had a call with my manager at 10.30 today which put me in a bad mood for the whole day hope yours got better x

@Niisa how are you getting on? Hope the hormonal teenagers were too much agg on a Monday morning x

@2020wish sorry it was a BFN this morning, will you wait for AF before telling your daughter. Sending you lots of virtual hugs x

@busby85 i am so sorry to hear this news and that you are going through this again, there really are no words to help but sending you so much love and come on here to vent whenever you need to xx

Update from me I'm CD10, day 3 of flashing smily faces 🙄 my temps have been all over the place this month and FF has marked today as a fertile day, but not sure why 🤔

MichT4 · 22/06/2020 17:18

@VP91x 😂😂 now I’m just jealous of your fake plants

VP91x · 22/06/2020 17:15

@MichT4 oh you'll be pleased to know my CM has finally dried up, nothing to be jealous of anymore 😂😂 no more of that tingy blood streak either 🤷

VP91x · 22/06/2020 17:12

@2020wish ah perfect, thank you. Haha, yeah I bet if I didnt say anything at all, he would be like soooo what's going on? 🙄

@MichT4 😂😂 I bought a basket today too. Love them. You always find something to organise into it!

OP posts:
MichT4 · 22/06/2020 17:07

Oh and @VP91x my basket arrived today. Met with ‘what’s that for?’ from OH 😂😂

MichT4 · 22/06/2020 16:01

@VP91x I've been taking the same as @2020wish - when I remember!

That-s what I want to go for - fake plants. Though I will no doubt end up with a load of other stuff to go with it

2020wish · 22/06/2020 15:58

I was taking 2 in morning and 2 at night.

I tried last month not telling my Dh at all to help take pressure of him then he was the one asking me when our fertile window was. Sometimes I just think they like a good moan when they are feeling stressed lol

VP91x · 22/06/2020 15:40

@MichT4 yeah got some bedding for the little ones bed. IKEA beds always need their own bedding don't they 🙄 and a couple of ceiling lights I've been meaning to replace and candles/fake plants the usual stuff you end up buying, haha.

@2020wish yeah, I'll have to think of a way of not making it obvious Im testing etc if I need to next month. How many calc flour tabs do we take? I've had two today x

@HopeForRainbowbaby
Thanks so Much for sharing, really useful! It makes total sense, I think I’d just seen a lot of positives on here around the 9DPO mark do assumes I’d see the same 🤦🏻‍♀️

2020wish · 22/06/2020 15:16

@busby85 welcome and sorry about your loss. Feel free to vent here anytime. This thread is so helpful. I hope you find some hand holding here x

Yea I’m going to wait until AF arrives. She should be here by the latest tomorrow. I’m surprised she’s not here already. Dh finally got a day off work so going to have a Father’s Day drink with me tonight and a movie. @HopeForRainbowbaby that good to know maybe I can hold onto a bit of hope

@chloedancer897 glad ur feeling better. Yea I won’t be telling her until af arrives

@vp91x it’s good he opened up a bit. My Dh told me the other night he also felt pressured with all the testing and fertile window and needing to DTD. So I’m gonna have to try and not make him feel like that

MichT4 · 22/06/2020 15:16

@HopeForRainbowbaby thanks for sharing that. It's so difficult when we expect things to happen at certain times so look for all the signs. I think they also say that you won't necessarily get symptoms (if any) until after implantation, so really we shouldn't symptom spot either. Hard though 😂
I'm the same, planning to wait until AF is due - or late if I can hold out. We'll see though. I'm a sucker for convincing myself and I have tests to hand....

@VP91x ooh was it? Successful shopping trip? I just went and bought Becodefence nasal spray - as exciting as my shopping gets today. Oh and foot masks and bath salts. Plan for some relaxation in this TWW.

VP91x · 22/06/2020 15:09

@MichT4 IKEA was fab! Nice to do something normal.

@chloedancer897 I'm glad you are feeling better, yeah do what ever makes you feel the least stress, the months are so consuming xxx

mrsssk · 22/06/2020 15:08

@HopeForRainbowbaby Thanks for sharing the information, I am trying to do what you're doing too and wait for AF / only test if I am late. It is nerve wracking as I so desperately want to be pregnant.

@busby85 don't feel bad at all! I'm sure all of us on here have felt awful hearing others' happy news and it's only because we are waiting for our little ones too. I'm so sorry that you have found yourself here but we are all more than happy to support, be there for each other and pick one another up when someone needs a helping hand x
