I'm CD11, waiting for something (anything) to happen this month 😂. Only taking my Inofolic Alpha this cycle and nothing else.

Hope I've tagged everyone xx

@2020wish Aww lovely that's exciting that it's tomorrow! xxx

Northernsoul90 · 05/08/2020 08:31

@Cici89 oh brilliant!! Fingers crossed for you! Xx

@VP91x Hopefully you will see your peak soon 🤞🏼xx

@MichT4 so annoying for you with the opks! Your temps still look good though, I would be tempted to still go with being post ovulation 4-7dpo but maybe dtd today in case to keep covered? Xx

@Firevie Thank you for the link! Sounds like you are getting in some good self care today ☺️ I am considering acupuncture how do you find it? Is it painful? Xx

2020wish · 05/08/2020 08:27

@MichT4 my opks are dark atm and have been from the beginning so I’m crossing everything for u!!! I’m nervous- I understand I’m still early and may not see much but hoping I get a flicker of a heart beat if anything is there that is viable. That’s all I need to help relax and try to staff enjoying this experience

MichT4 · 05/08/2020 08:23

@2020wish thank you ☺️ I'd love for your hcg theory to be right and I'm remaining positive and hopeful, but I also know it's first cycle so AF is likely to appear.
Oooh tomorrow!! How exciting!

2020wish · 05/08/2020 08:19

@MichT4 yea sounds smart holding off till next week so u get a definite answer. But I’m hoping for u! Fingers crossed! I’m ok, still anxious and feeling exhausted and nauseous and my boobs are killing me so it’s reassuring me a bit. My scan is tomorrow x

Lollol86 · 05/08/2020 08:16

@Firevie thank you for the yoga video. Sounds like you have a lovely day lined up. How are you finding the acupuncture? I've got my nails next week, it's my eyebrows I'm desperate for 😭 honestly they look awful and I feel it changes my whole appearance xx

MichT4 · 05/08/2020 08:16

@Firevie I still want to try acupuncture. How have you found it. I might try the yoga today as I'm at home, thanks for sending the link

@VP91x @2020wish is it dark, but I am just trying to ignore it. I won't test yet, I was planning on just waiting it out til the bitter end but I might test a week tomorrow ish because I'm going away and if by some miracle I was, I'd want to know. But I'm undecided if I will do that.

@2020wish sleeping all day sounds fab! Are you feeling nice and relaxed? When is your scan?

@VP91x it's weird isn't it when our bodies do these things. When I get a twinge or anything now I generally ignore it 😂. Nothing surprises me now. I should take note because it could retrospectively mean something but my body has tricked me so many times that I'm done playing its games 😂 xx

2020wish · 05/08/2020 08:04

@MichT4 flip that is really dark... possibly hcg? If ur around 7dpo it could be. If not it’s really strange cause ur temps suggest u def ovulated 7 days ago . When will u take a preg test? I’m doing good. Very tired and sleeping 24/7 it seems x

@VP91x have u ovulated yet? If not could be ovulation pain? I always felt sort of crampy /periody around then.. or maybe Implantation if u are in ur tww

@Firevie not up to speed with ur work situation ur glad it’s working out in ur favour. I’ve heard a lot about the acupuncture. Every little thing that helps us destress will surely help

VP91x · 05/08/2020 08:01

@MichT4 I bet if you done a femometer it wouldn't be that dark the EAH opks are always dark it's annoying. Mine were like that for most of the month so don't stress. Your temps are way above cover line, regardless of the fluctuations 🥰.

No idea, I done a OPK this morning, less than useless 🙄😂😂. Will see if anything develops. I only ever get this feeling if AF is coming so odd. Xx

Firevie · 05/08/2020 07:57

Morning ladies! As promised link below for the yoga video I’ve just done this Morning

Didn’t sleep very well today - woke up at 4 as had horrible dream. Then took another hour until I fell asleep and then missed my 6.30 wake up to take my BBT so took it at 7am today - ah well!
Still feel energised and buzzy today. Got an email last night and looks like work issue will now get resolved in our favour - yay!
Not sure if I mentioned this to you ladies but since last week I’ve been going to acupuncture. Well I had my first one last week and second one today. Read lots about it and wanted to give it a try just to help my body find the balance again really and my hormones to settle back in. So I’m there this morning and in the evening I’ve booked in a mani and pedi- cannot wait!!! It has been so so long and I need my nails and toes to look pretty for my hols yay.

Hope you all have a great morning and a fantastic day xx

MichT4 · 05/08/2020 07:57

@VP91x that's really weird that you feel like that. Not an ovulation feeling maybe?

Here's a chart and OPK picture. Wish I hadn't done the blinkin OPK

VP91x · 05/08/2020 07:53

@MichT4 what is your chart looking like now? Was the second line really dark? Xx

I'm okay! Just feel period-y if that's even a word xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 05/08/2020 07:51

@2020wish CD25 and possibly 4-7DPO. I shouldn't have done the OPK, but I was having withdrawals 😂
Well last month I got the two peaks. I didn't carry on taking them after so I don't know. Every other time I've had a 'false' peak, my temperature has shown it, but now they are still up so I'm still assuming I did ovulate. Will see in a week or two I suppose.
How are you doing? xx

2020wish · 05/08/2020 07:48

@MichT4 what cycle day are u on now? That’s annoying ur opks keep doing that. Did u have issues with ovulation before?

MichT4 · 05/08/2020 07:44

@VP91x all good here thanks. I missed POAS so did an OPK with FMU today - dark second line! 🙄😂 i give up this month. My temps are still floating around the higher range, though not as high as they were at their peak - that coincided with the really hot days so they might be affected by that I suppose.
Will try and DTD today and hopefully if something weird is going on with ovulation, we won't miss it.

How are you?

@SmileyT that dinner sounds lovely. I love a pasta dish! All ok today?

xx

VP91x · 05/08/2020 06:42

@SmileyT no, maybe like 30 people total from all the other teams. They said 85% of people were still wfh and phasing back in slowly. I'll be WFH next week because my manager is going to Spain 👀 and he may have to quarantine after if the rules don't change so the plan is abit hazy atm!

Ooft, if it wasn't CD14 I would swear I was getting my period. I've got that lower down periody feeling since last night and feel so nauseous this morning. How is everyone? X

Morning ladies.

@VP91x glad ur first day went good!

@Rebecca1992 good luck for later today !

SmileyT · 05/08/2020 06:30

@VP91x glad the first day went well lovely, is everyone back in the office then? x

@MichT4 last night DP made a lovely chicken cheesy pasta and it went down a treat ☺️ glad you are getting to wfh and have a nice breakie this morning x

VP91x · 05/08/2020 06:17

@Firevie it was good! Just got through normal first day things like induction courses etc. Boring stuff. Met most of the office everyone seemed lovely. I've never worked in an office environment before so will be different. Glad that you felt good after your 8km! Our bodies are incredible Xx

OP posts:
Firevie · 04/08/2020 22:01

@VP91x how was your day at work?
Awww @Jazper glad our words could help a little!
I ran / power walked again today after the ERPC - 8km! It felt so so good! And whilst I was running I could honestly say that I’m so grateful for my strong body to bounce back! We need to give our bodies some TLC and not forget that our bodies are amazing!!! Xx

VP91x · 04/08/2020 21:46

@Northernsoul90 😂😂 farm him, that made me laugh. Yeah I do feel in a bit of a rut with it this month, I've stepped away from some much of my normal tracking that I'm a bit like meh. Let's see if I even get a peak OPK.

@Jazper oh amazing, what are you going to have? Xx

@MichT4 haha oh good definitely have a proper brekkie! Yeah definitely it made the day fly by too. Definitely wasn't in the mood for it tonight anyway and OH finally got confirmation the pup will definitely be here by 16th so he's just focused on that haha xx

Cici89 · 04/08/2020 21:36

@Northernsoul90 It was on the 13th of July and got a negative last Monday 27th. Got a smiley today so going to try now for the next three days and hope for the best 🙏🏼😊

Northernsoul90 · 04/08/2020 20:34

@Jazper Yes absolutely we all have our own way of dealing with things, tww is such a killer isn't it. Hope you are keeping okay and thank you for your kind comments. Fingers crossed for a bfp for you too, we are overdue some on the thread! Xx

@BEESY90 Yes it does make sense! I go back and forth between wanting to test early and then not. Generally I like to wait until at least af due date. I'm 11dpo tomorrow and planning to test on Saturday. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 xx

MichT4 · 04/08/2020 20:30

@VP91x @Jazper I'm working at home tomorrow so I'll be able to make a proper breakfast. Egg muffins sound like a good shout for work days though. @Jazper I actually felt pretty told off just then 😂

@VP91x glad your first day went well. Did you like being back?
Don't feel bad about not feeling up to it - you've had a long change of a day for a start. I know OPKs can be hit and miss but I'm sure you will catch a peak on them. And I do think DTD should still be a thing we want to do, even though sometimes I know it isn't like that. I was thinking today that if I haven't ovulated yet, we haven't DTD in a few days so maybe I should make it happen, but we are both knackered! So I'm just going to see if it happens. I wouldn't want to be doing it and not wanting to, do what feels right and don't feel bad for it either way.

@SmileyT anything delicious for dinner I can get jealous of? Your holiday is going to be a well deserved break and you'll be showing off a gorgeous bump too

xx

BEESY90 · 04/08/2020 19:51

@Northernsoul90 part of me wants to wait till I am officially late to avoid false result a d and false hope Building or disappointment. Part of me is living in a bubble now that there is a slight chance I could be, like it isn’t impossible, so I don’t wanna burst that bubble yet , but then part of me thinks if I find I out now I can face facts and move on ti next month. I don’t know if that makes sense?! X
