@MrsB2019x AF due 11th / 12th for me as well! Hopefully this is our month 🤞

Sansa87 · 24/08/2020 05:51

Good luck girls!

Oh had to go into work early, which means I have to walk into work. It’s still dark out there. I’m pretty sure I was asleep before 9 last night, but Jesus I’m sleepy!

MrsB2019x · 23/08/2020 22:50

@whambam89 Think we’re near enough cycle buddies again, I’m CD11. Ovia is predicting AF 10/9, Clue is predicting 11/9. Leaning more towards Clue as it’s usually pretty accurate

whambam89 · 23/08/2020 22:17

@sansa87 fingers crossed it's not too serious!

How is everyone? Not been on for a few days so sorry if I've missed anything. CD10 for me now so started with OPKs this morning - haven't had my static previously until day 16/17 so we'll see what the next few days bring!

@kirinm hope you're doing ok x

Sansa87 · 23/08/2020 20:14

@MrsB2019x no idea, I’m leaving it to solicitors and oh. Google told me 1/3 properties have this warning. Not sure how true that is though.

We want it to be our home until we retire to the seaside really. I guess it depends on how much they charge for the insurance like you said.

MrsB2019x · 23/08/2020 19:52

@Sansa87 Oh no! Is it just the land that they have built it on? Depending on how long you intend to stay it might not even affect you too much, besides buildings insurance x

Sansa87 · 23/08/2020 16:16

How’s everyone doing? I’m trying to distract myself, so this probably isn’t the best place, but here I am 😂

Start of another week tomorrow. Solicitors will be back in the “office” apparently there’s a moderate risk of subsidence on housey. It’s 11 months old, and 398 out of 400 have people in so not sure how serious it is or what it means. Our solicitors are chasing the others and asking how much their building insurance is. Nervous doesn’t cover it right now 😅

LT103 · 23/08/2020 11:09

@Sansa87 hoping she stays away for you!!! The waiting game is just so stressful!

Sansa87 · 23/08/2020 09:48

@LT103 I ovulated a week later than usual. It’s the first cycle after mmc so not sure what my body is doing. I’m hoping I have a 33 day cycle, but I’d it’s normal 28 then I’m due af tomorrow.

This is why people wait for a period before starting ttc again isn’t it 😂

Sweating my bollocks off at work 😩 shouldn’t have had a blondie for breakfast, as that along with mask, and heavy lifting 🤢

LT103 · 23/08/2020 09:36

@stickytoffeepud1991 I always seem to get a peak for a day or more but everyone is different. I know a lot of people get a really short peak so you could have just missed it. Once I start to get high readings I test 3 or 4 times a day. Once you get peak you should ovulate in 12-36 hours so prob tomorrow. I’ve been checking temp in morning and it’s been pretty reliable for showing ovulation last 2 cycles so I’ll keep doing it and make sure I definitely ovulate 🤞

stickytoffeepud1991 · 23/08/2020 09:26

That’s a good peak @LT103 !!! So does that mean you should be ovulating now?? Or within the next few hours??
With my opks I had a high then the next day it’d gone to negative again so I assumed I had ov’d maybe the next day or overnight but according to ovia and my period finally arriving properly today it would assume I ovulated on cd19 not cd17/18 like I thought!
Don’t know whether to get the smiley opks xxx

LT103 · 23/08/2020 09:17

@MrsB2019x you were right. Nice strong peak this morning.....finally!!!

LT103 · 23/08/2020 09:16

@Sansa87 7dpo seems a bit early for af so fingers crossed for you it’s implantation!!!

Sansa87 · 23/08/2020 09:01

I found the June thread and I was feeling quite similar. My cm is slightly different this time (I thought it was thrush before 😂) and I also had shooting pains, but I definitely had and cramps and carried a tampon around from 7dpo (I have it in my pocket again now. Finally found one the bottom of my bedside table!)

stickytoffeepud1991 · 23/08/2020 08:44

@Sansa87 fingers crossed hope it’s implantation!!
I can’t remember ever having it with my daughter. The only thing I remember was this I didn’t go to the toilet in a week when I was on the 2ww and I’d never felt constipation like it 😂

Thanks @MrsB2019x exactly!! My aim is still a June/July/August baby so all I can do is keep trying haha! Xxx

MrsB2019x · 23/08/2020 08:39

I hope it’s implantation for you @Sansa87 x

MrsBtobe2020 · 23/08/2020 08:16

@sansa87 I'm hoping for implantation for you 🤞completely agree though, expecting the worst is just as bad as hoping for something, they generally both end in disappointment! However I will continue to do it until I actually get a bfp 😅

Sansa87 · 23/08/2020 07:35

7dpo and got cramps. Can’t find a tampon to take to work with me 😔

It’s either af is still going to coming tomorrow, or my cycle could still be longer this month, & potentially implantation cramps.

My boobs don’t hurt, & they usually hurt around af.

Really think I’m out, which I was expecting due to it being straight after the mmc, but I feel a lot more bummed than I thought I would.

Expecting the worse surprisingly doesn’t protect you from the sadness of the inevitable worse.

MrsB2019x · 23/08/2020 00:14

@stickytoffeepud1991 Sorry it’s arrived ☹️ I guess you can now get closure and move onto the next one x

stickytoffeepud1991 · 22/08/2020 23:21

Thanks so much girls.
Think AF has finally arrived. Went to the toilet at work earlier on and what I can only describe as a blob of mucus with a bit of brown old blood was there and I had that last month.
Then went again later and it was still mucus but with a tinge of red/pink.
If I do come on AF fully tomorrow then I’ll class that as CD1 and that it’s been a 33 day cycle! I’ve never been that long! No idea how to track my next ovulation now! But glad I can move on, have a drink on holiday and start again !
Thanks for thinking of me girls!! Xx

MrsB2019x · 22/08/2020 22:51

@Sansa87 The app is amazing isn’t it! That pink is gorgeous ☺️ We were in process from March until Wednesday when we moved in. Felt like a proper long slog. We had some issues come up in our survey that the seller needed to fix though so think that’s what took up the time.

@stickytoffeepud1991 Wtf is going on, must be driving you mad!

Good lines @LT103, looks like it will be soon!

No major update from me, CD10, not feeling a lot. Due to ov late next week. Mine and DH’s first wedding anniversary on Tuesday and we’re going back to our venue for a night away, hopefully that night will be the lucky one!

LT103 · 22/08/2020 19:46

Finally!! After testing from cd8, I finally have a line with some decent colour. Had loads ewcm last few days so should hopefully be peak tomorrow and ovulate on Monday 🤞🤞 over a week later than usual!!
Plus, despite thinking this month would never happen with oh being so stressed and busy with work, we managed to dtd year so hopefully will manage today/tomorrow and should at least be in with a shot this month!

Sansa87 · 22/08/2020 16:24

Not feeling great. I have stomach cramps, and I can’t remember what af pains feel like, which is ridiculous. I’m 33 and was only pregnant for 10 weeks 🙄 I’m 6/7dpo I think, but if I have gone back to a normal cycle af is due Monday...

I see why people wait a whole cycle to ttc after mc now.

claireb707 · 22/08/2020 09:24

Flashing smiley on cbd and quite strong but not yet peak on cheapie this morning 😁

MrsBtobe2020 · 21/08/2020 22:55

@stickytoffeepud1991its so frustrating waiting for AF! I essentially change what I'm waiting for every couple of weeks, it doesn't stop, quite exhausting haha!
