@CAG14 sorry again. Another one bites the dust. You'll have a great time away though 💕

Stabal · 13/09/2020 15:48

@Cha0907 I take all that and haven't found that it has changed my cycle, could just be an off month for you. If you didn't ovulate when you usually do then your period won't be due yet so not technically late

CAG14 · 13/09/2020 15:26

AF turned up for me yesterday as expected. I'm actually alright about it. We are off to Cornwall on 21st September so least I can have a few drinks and enjoy myself. Obviously rather be pregnant but just trying to stay positive at the moment!

Hi sorry to jump on M. I am in same boat As most of you ladies. Been TTC for 9 months. I feel like every month I have read about something online so try that.

@crazycatlady1981 i have been taking the vital DHA, coq10 and folic acid this month. Did you find it delayed ovulation? I’m usually really regular 28 day cycle ovulating around day14/15 but for this month I tracked around that time and nothing. Then the week later I tracked and got flashing smileys for 3 days and ran out of tests (typical) but now I’m
Not sure when I ovulated.

I am 1 week late for my period (going by my usual dates) but not sure if my dates are just off now because I’ve ovulated later. My head is all over the place with it and just wondered if anyone else was on same boat that has been taking the same as me 😂😂 x

I think I probably only had on average about 1500 calories on a weekday anyway. I'm using my fitness pal app and that calculated the calories for me. So if I was to maintain my weight I should have about 1590 calories so dropping to 1200 I should lose 1lb a week. As soon as I get that BFP I will be stopping counting and just being sensible but also feel like I might just need to eat whatever will stop me feeling sick!

@butterfly5291 1200 is very low and that can counteract any weight loss. I would up it to 1500/1700! I really need to get back on track before I put all my weight back on but it's so hard when food is your comfort vice

@Stabal oh jealous! I've managed to stick to 1200 calories since Sunday...and not even lost a full lb! How much do you want to bet that I get pregnant and swell up just before the wedding so this dieting won't matter anyway!

@butterfly5291 ahh fab! Enjoy that! Always good to let your hair down. This time between period and OPKs is the least stressful lol. I'm okay today, just eating my weight in carbs 🍞

@Stabal I'm a lot better than last week thanks. On CD7 so enjoying not symptom spotting or worrying about OPKs and going to Alton towers tomorrow!

@galatea098 yeah then I'd say it was probably yesterday too. Just asking because there's a slight incline in temps from CD13 which is strange, were you using OPKs then? I'd put your temps into fertility friend and see what it says!

@CAG14 no symptoms here, started spotting more now so I’m definitely out this month! Good luck for testing tomorrow! 🤞🏻

Stabal · 12/09/2020 07:12

@27DONFIN I managed to get through work and when I got home OH had a glass poured for me so we had a nice chilled night and I enjoyed the wine I was too ill to have last Friday night lol. Today I'm vegging out on the sofa watching Netflix sponsored by cereal and choc chip brioche rolls 😂 I hope you're feeling better today 💕

27DONFIN · 11/09/2020 14:18

@Stabal snap in work too tears started at my desk luckily no one else was in then ran off to the toilet when others came in. How are you now? Ohh no wonder that nearly had me again. My solution was chocolate and after work I’m be going home straight into my pjs. Here’s to a better tomorroe 💕

Stabal · 11/09/2020 13:55

@27DONFIN I'm so sorry 😔 how are you feeling now? I'm in work and literally just want to hide in the toilets and cry. I seen this on Instagram this morning, it's heartbreaking but beautiful and I think it's what set me off
