@Blossom428 it is going slow isn't it!!!! Can start symptom spotting from today! Home stretch!!!! No sickness yet, bouts of nausea but nothing much. It's the tiredness that's a killer and I mean complete and utter exhaustion just had to half a hour nap before work! 😱
Could be pregnancy and puppy related combined.

@AnxiousAnnie86 only 5dpo today- I feel like time is going sooooo slow! This week has dragged 🙈
How are you doing? Any sickness feeling?

@TheOrangeMonster can you apply for the self employed grant that they are offering- think they said it was 80% this time. I know not ideal. But fingers crossed there's something that can help.

Any sign of ov yet?

AnxiousAnnie86 · 06/11/2020 08:02

How's everyone doing? Anyone getting close to testing xxx

Sorry to hear that @Chlo2701 !! 😫
Do you take anything during LP? I take vitamin B6 and the vitamin C tablets and felt that really helped mine.

AnxiousAnnie86 · 04/11/2020 09:37

@Chlo2701 I'm sorry about AF, my friend had a short LP phase, she saw a doc who gave her progesterone and it worked nearly straight away! Xx

Chlo2701 · 04/11/2020 09:29

CD1 here ladies!! AF Bang on time!! But only a 9 day LP this month 😣 I'm currently in the gym working my fucking ass off to make myself feel better!!

TheOrangeMonster · 03/11/2020 17:28

@AnxiousAnnie86 agh what a pain with that school run!

@Blossom428 I'm self employed in the music industry ☹️
I think it's probably delayed rather than skipped, my cycles are wildly irregular this year so I wouldn't be a bit surprised!

Ah well, on the plus side I got my hair done today, they managed to squeeze me in!

Blossom428 · 03/11/2020 17:03

Oooo that makes it feel a lot more real making a call to the doctors! @AnxiousAnnie86

Sorry to hear your having issues with ovulation taking forever @TheOrangeMonster . I really hope it happens soon for you. Unless it was a cycle where it misses ovulation 😫
I really hope Covid doesn't affect your work too much, or if you can get furlough if your work does that at least. Such a stressful time. Try to make sure youu do things for yourself and take time out to de stress.

AnxiousAnnie86 · 03/11/2020 09:02

@TheOrangeMonster thank you, I know it's a nightmare, I have tk work from home now, but my daughter goes to high school five mins from my office, which is an hours drive from our house! So now I have to do a two hour round trip morning and night!!!

I know how stressful waiting for ovulation is it drives me insane, I didn't ovulate till cd33 last month! X

OP posts:
TheOrangeMonster · 03/11/2020 08:28

@AnxiousAnnie86 I hope you had a great birthday.

Good luck to everyone who's got to the two week wait!

I'm super stressed and anxious due to the change in rules about Covid and how it affects my work etc, and I still haven't ovulated yet on cd31 - I can feel a cyst developing in there too.

Still no letter for either of us from the doctor.

If no ovulation by cd33 I'm going to stop temping.

Considering giving up.

AnxiousAnnie86 · 03/11/2020 07:51

@Blossom428 mine wasn't convinced but he's obsessed now! It's like having a newborn! Do it before!! I'm glad you got your rise that's good news!!

No I'm calling docs this morn, going to book a private scan for about three weeks time when I'm about 9 weeks xx

OP posts:
Blossom428 · 03/11/2020 07:46

@Chlo2701 @AnxiousAnnie86 I got my rise. So now I can relax and just try not think about it. Not going to do any other temps.

Awwww little Marty! How cute. Now he will keep you busy. I really want to get a puppy either before I have a baby or just after. I love the bond that children and dogs have. I've always grown up with them. OH isn't so keen so I'll have to keep persuading him. Or maybe just get him one for Christmas and he will fall in love haha.

Have you booked a scan in @AnxiousAnnie86 ?

AnxiousAnnie86 · 03/11/2020 06:50

@Redfoot89 welcome lovely and thank you!!

@Chlo2701 honestly don't worry yourself over rhr, there is no pattern to mine! The only thing I did notice was it was generally higher then before, not even my rhr really but just my general one,

@Blossom428 have you temped this morning? Hopefully it's risen, mine sometimes takes a couple days to rise.

We got Marty yesterday! 8 hour round trip 😩😩 he's so tiny and cute x

Chlo2701 · 02/11/2020 21:46

@Blossom428 Christmas is my favourite time of the year aswel! I'm really hoping that restrictions will be lifted abit by then so we can spend time with family, because like you said, it will be a very different Christmas this year😣
Yep @AnxiousAnnie86 I'm still tracking my RHR🙉 my best friend found out she was pregnant last week & she was tracking her RHR, she's 5w3d's today & her RHR is so up & down, so that coincides with what you're saying aswel.
@Redfoot89 woop woop for joining us in the TWW!! I'm due on this week weds-fri, I ovulated a day later this cycle so I reckon AF will actually come on Thurs as my LP is normally 10 days.
@Blossom428 🤞🏻 you get that rise tomorrow so you can confirm ovulation 👏🏼🙌🏼

Redfoot89 · 02/11/2020 13:31

@Blossom428 honestly i hated the fw wait and i dont like this either hahahaha. Im so impatient i honestly just want to know. Mines should be the 12th or there abouts as my cycles tend to vary by a day or two each month 🤷‍♀️

Fingers crossed for lots of bfps for everyone!!! X

Blossom428 · 02/11/2020 10:40

Wasn't going to temp, but did accidentally take it this morning jsut to see if it had risen after ov. And it hadn't gone up this morning.
I'm hoping it does tomorrow- otherwise my stress may have caused it not to happen this month.
Although I did get my usual pains, so fingers crossed it did.

@Redfoot89 welcome to the 2WW. I much prefer it to the build up to FW haha! Let's hope we get some more BFP this cycle!!

AF will due around 13th Nov for me

Redfoot89 · 02/11/2020 07:03

Hi all! Been trying to keep up and catch up with all the latest 🤣
@AnxiousAnnie86 congratulations on your bfp! I hope you had a wonderful birthday 🎂.
@Blossom428 same with my husband, when we first talked about ttc he was over thinking the financial side of things etc and a bit wary but now he has totally changed his tune and is actually talking about it more than me which is nice because he actually seems excited about the idea although we are both a bit scared at the same time!
My fertile week has now ended so all i can do is wait now! Ive been having all sorts of symptoms since like thursday but im pretty sure its just all in my head 🤣👍 i hate the waiting, i just want to know now either way!! Going to be the longest wait ever, period not due until next wed/thurs 🙃.

Blossom428 · 01/11/2020 22:22

Glad you've had a nice day. Can't beat a Nando's!
That's interesting to hear about your RHR now you are pregnant, and not really finding a correlation. Mine was always all over the place, but I've stopped wearing my fit bit now so don't track that.
Oh really, my partners is a bit like that. He can work from and should really but then they are frowned upon if they don't come in to the office. Bit bad really. Things may change from Thursday anyways. - although when Oh worked at home it was such a distraction haha.
I work for the council, so majority are wfh anyways unless I'm doing visits, which I've had to be door step visits atm. Difficult as I my role is so out in the community, but it has been so nice to see how the community have come together to support each other!

AnxiousAnnie86 · 01/11/2020 15:56

@Blossom428 @Chlo2701 thank you ladies! Had a lovely day walking and just picked up my favourite Nando's!!!!

So you are both in the TWW!!! How exciting, I will say with Rhr there was no pattern to it at all, my average heartbeat is most definitely higher, but some days it drops and some days it goes back up.... so if you are monitoring rhr don't stress if you see it dropping

Not sure too much how it will effect me yet, my employers seem to want me to go into office no matter what and I think they are still going to say that, even though I work from home.. are they even allowed to do that?? Xx

HAPPPYY BIRTHDAY @AnxiousAnnie86 🎈🎈🎈🎈 hope you have a fabulous day!!

Cheers @Chlo2701 ! At least you are nearly into the 2nd half of it. You never know you it still could have happened for you this month 🤞🏽 good to take a much more relaxed approach. Defo what you needed this month.

Weekends go far too quickly these days!!

How's everyone feeling about a months lockdown 😭😭 I hope it doesn't affect anyone too badly. Just sad about the build up to Christmas! It's my fave time of year with family and friends and I just think it's going to be so different this year 😫

Chlo2701 · 01/11/2020 10:07

Happy Birthday @AnxiousAnnie86 !!! Hope OH is treating you like a queen today 👸. How special this birthday is for you! 🤰
@Blossom428 you definitely covered it my lovely, here's to your TWW🤞🏻
I thought I didn't ovulate as didn't have usual pattern on RHR when I got static last Saturday on CBD. But looks like I ovulated 48hrs later on Monday🙈 we only DTD Fri night & Mon night so not holding out much hope at all. 6DPO here so cheers to the TWW @Blossom428 🥂

Blossom428 · 01/11/2020 09:21

Haha @AnxiousAnnie86
Managed to dtd this morning.
I felt ovulation pains last night, they always come late in the evening. So would I go from tomorrow as ovulation day or today as it was at like 11pm?
Guess I've done all I can now. Glad I can just chill out now and not have the stress of ovulation! Defo worse than the 2WW for me!

AnxiousAnnie86 · 31/10/2020 18:04

@Blossom428 powers of seduction!!!! I know just gonna have to watch my husband drink red and eat steak 😂 glad you got your static! It's such a stressful time worrying about catching it and when it's gonna come! I absolutely HATE it x

OP posts:
Blossom428 · 31/10/2020 17:17

Aww enjoy!!! (Sadly without a glass of wine haha) mocktails are now the way forward!
Yes! I got my static this morning. Dtd this morning too. So I'm hoping I can get OH to tomorrow morning too then I know I will be covered 🤞🏽
@AnxiousAnnie86

AnxiousAnnie86 · 31/10/2020 17:12

@Blossom428 aww yeah it is! Thank you!! We are going out for dinner tonight. Have you got static yet!!
