ttc baby #1 September testing 2020

@galatea098

Oh my god I can’t believe I’ve gone this long without talking to you I’m so so sorry!!!!
Heads been all over the place.
So did your period start? I’m glad you atleast got a positive opk because that’s actually a really good sign!!! I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve still not got your referral. If you ask me for that’s a fucking joke. It is all becoming a mind fuck. I’d completely withdrawn until around about the time I was scheduled to be ovulating, I was saying to Stephen that I was having this pressured pain in my left side and it was painful when we were DTT so he told me to take an ovulation test just by chance. It wasn’t positive but the darkest it’s ever been. So I took another and one the next day and they started getting lighter the next couple of days so either I’d just missed the window or I got it bang on. Idk. But that in itself is an achievement for me! Knowing that there was some sort of surge has confirmed that surely I am ovulating the way I should be. Period is due in six days. Will wait until then. As usual, I know it’s most likely going to come. I’m adamant this time. But I feel like I’ve withdrawn quite a bit. Doesn’t stop me from watching all the YouTube test videos tho 😜
Hoping and praying for you this month lovely💛 you’re doing so well regardless and as I said, you’ve ovulated so take that as a good sign because regular or not, there’s some sort of surge there!!
As always baby dust 🧚🏼‍♀️💪🏼

@galatea098

Awh mrs I really hope you both get the move sorted and you’re away from all the stress!! I know all too well what that’s like. I know you’re nearly at the year mark too, but I’m just glad you’re going to see someone to make sure everything’s okay. You’ll know where you stand. I’m really really hoping this is your month!🥺 my best friend was nearly at the year mark, had her appointment in a month and fell pregnant that month!

So I used opk’s from the start of the month and that’s when I realised that I think I ovulated early.
I don’t want to actively use them, I just wanted to see if I could get them any darker than the first time I tried them and sure enough they were going from dark to light. My period doesn’t come for another six days so I’ll just wait until then. Getting bad back pain right now and I’m breaking out worse than ever before on my face. I’ve also been constipated still which isn’t like me. We’ll see what happens but I’ve definitely calmed it down this month and been less stressed.

Also bought a menstrual cup because I’m just anticipating af to show her UGLY MUG AGAIN.

One thing I will say is though.. normally after ovulation I dry up down below.. but that hasn’t happened yet. I’ve had a kind of watery/ slipper cm this whole time which is strange.

Hoping for you to come with good news mrs 💛

@galatea098
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!😘
Awh I’m sorry 🥺 I know it’s hard and I’m just happy you’re finally being referred. Onwards and upwards I say!
Well I had a bit of a mental break down. Work and college was too much for me so I quit my job lol. This month I’m having symptoms I haven’t had before but I’m not getting my hopes up and I’m just going to wait for my period.
I’ve realised that I may be ovulating very very early. Much earlier than I thought. Like days after my period early.
I’ve been having abdominal discomfort for the last five days as well as frequent urination for the past four days. Today my left boob is killing me and the tiredness is unbearable, but once again all signs of pms. Apart from the constipation which I’ve never felt full force. I’m also lactose intolerant so this is out of the ordinary for me. Something weird aswell is that I’m quite badly congested which I know isn’t like a normal symptom and especially with the current climate is a bit scary. Praying for some good news technically nearly six months of trying now.

Hoping you bring some good news too 💛

@galatea098 I’m so glad you’re feeling more optimistic!! Especially if you’re less anxious which in turn is only going to boost your chances! Not much of a porky then. May aswell get seen to now rather than get turned away and told to wait two months. I hope everything comes back normal for the both.

AF is due in the 23rd and today I can feel some slight heaviness in my abdomen so I think I’m out this month. Stephen got excited last night so we took a test and of course it was negative. In my calculations I should be 10dpo today so It’s just a waiting game.
On how could we forget about the sourdip incident. Stephen tells everyone about it🙄🙄

Don’t even get me started in the house move. The DAY OF, the movers texted to say the clutch had gone on the van. Could’ve murdered someone. Eventually got it sorted but fucking hell!

That’s shite!! I hope it all sorts itself out and you guys find somewhere you’ll be truly happy

@galatea098 I’ve been trying half the time you have so even the worry I feel I can’t imagine how you feel, but the body is a mysterious thing and I truly believe it’ll happen when it happens. The stress we’ve both endured can’t be good for us. Especially thinking about selling a house which is a big job, but you’re a strong one. You’ve got this. We’re currently not tracking still. We’re just seeing how things go. Not feeling optimistic about it, especially after this months stress, but I am having some symptoms that could be period or pregnancy.

Electric shocks through nipples (very annoying)
Really bad gas (Stephen has to leave the room😂)
So much more tired, but so restless.
Stephen could literally do one stupid thing and I don’t want to talk to him for the foreseeable future. I just can’t help it. Like I said though, this could be pms. Just like the time Stephen forgot the chive dip😂😂

@galatea098 sorry I took so long to reply 😖 I’m terrible for checking my emails!!

It was by far the worst period I’ve ever had. Used 7 pads in one day. Cramps weren’t as bad as the month before but my period was still a whole week early. Don’t see anything happening anytime soon. We’re moving house in a few days so the stress of that is probably what’s making me feel this way. Had horrible electric shocks through my boobs after my period, for days. Body is just messed up 😂 so all of our stuff is packed away, including tests so I haven’t done any of those in about a month (pat on the back) supposed to ovulate in four days now. Another month of just knowing it isn’t going to happen.

How are you doing?? Are you still actively temping/ testing?? I truly hope everything goes your way this month🧡

@galatea098 well I wanted to just jump on because this morning I’ve woken up with cramps and spotting. It was a kind of uncomfortable cramp that woke me up and the spotting came so sudden like a feeling of wetness and then when I wiped it was pink. It’s exactly one week after my predicted ovulation so it’s come a week early. Think it may be stress from us moving house in a couple of weeks and everything that entails.

Girl I feel you. We’ve only been trying for like four months and even then I’m still not tracking. I’ve stopped adding when we had sex to my app and I’m just letting it flow. Definitely let me know if your temp spikes.
Think I’m out again this month though. We’ll see if the actual bleeding comes on too.

@galatea098@AnnaPosie
Honestly I thought the exact same. I’m not feeling hopeful at all but I’ve just given up this month. Still been having regular baby dancing but I’m refusing to use opk’s or temping. Suspected ovulation was the 15th but I wouldn’t have known cause I’ve only just looked at my app.
Cm has completely dried up. Last two times we’ve bd’d ive been as dry as the Sahara😂
Hoping you come with good news

@galatea098 honestly I’m so happy you’re the same as me this month. It can feel so hopeless 🥺 I’ve just got that horrible fear of the unspeakable. I haven’t been thinking about it as much either and I’m expected to ovulate in two days. We’ve been having regular sex too so I think we’d have more of a chance this month. Still don’t want to use opk’s. I’ll use them a couple of times to see if something shows, but otherwise I don’t want to bum myself out by thinking I’m not ovulating at all. I hope to fuck this is our month x

Well @galatea098 we’re in this together. 💪🏼 I didn’t really do anything for Halloween but I’ve definitely got a better mind frame this month. How’re you doing??
