I can't believe it 😳. Have had literally every AF symptom going, it was only the dizzy spell yesterday that made me wonder. Hope it sticks and isn't ectopic because I'm getting some pain on one side, but hopefully that goes.

Omg omg omg tries not to flap

Congratulations sweetheart I'm so happy for you!!! Let's hope this is a sticky baby and you can become one of our graduate ladies 💖✨✨✨

@MammaJ21

Hi everyone. AHH it seems a couple of you wilo be testing in the coming days....sending baby dust!

After what looked like an almost same colour line (only showing as 0.57 on prenom though?!), the lines have been pretty faint. So strange. Wondering whether that was my peak and just wasn't picked up on the app or not quite as dark as it should be. Or whether I just simply haven't ovulated. or won't.

I'm not that much of a pro at this, but when I have used them before randomly (and last couple cycles) I've had a peak I believe around the midpoint. Based on previous cycles I would be about 3dpo about now. This is all speculation, I don't really know for sure. But the lines are lighter now and I'd have expected them to get darker not get darker then go quite light.

Sorry I'm not sure I've made too much sense there!

But just wondering if that's it for this month and maybe I'm just not going to ovulate..or whether it would still come. based on last AF I'm cd 18 now, usually have 28-9 ish cycles...so seems times getting on!

Could it be a case of your body has attempted to ovulate but didn't quite fully ovulate and may start trying to ovulate again? I've had cycles before with multiple peaks / false peaks but on the times where they've been positive they've been stark positives where you could really tell the different in comparison to the other tests!

PSA: please watch this video 😂 could this be any more different from the CD1s when TTC?! If I looked like her on CD1 (or at all) I would not be complaining!!

@MammaJ21 hope it's soon for you! Or it's come early as a surprise this month 🤞🏻

Omg I'm howling

Whilst she's grabbing the oil and rubbing it in with her camomile tea I'm there chugging glasses of wine tipping Pringles in my mouth from the tube in my Disney onesie crying questioning if my hub does he still love me despite me being a hormonal bitch😂😂😂😂😂

KayL1988 · 17/05/2021 21:33

@minthumbugs just seen this and laughed out loud. This is so far from me even when I'm not TTC never mind when I am....

I welcome mine with wine and chocolate.

[quote minthumbugs]@Tangfastic91 oh that's promising! Have you tested or are you planning on it any time soon? Hope you feel better soon. X

@kaylsd haha that's exactly what it's like. I live in quite a rural area so don't really have anywhere to go! The closest city to me is Glasgow and lockdown has been extended for another week... when will it eeennddd??! Where are you in your cycle, it's not crazy long yet is it?

I said earlier I have had no symptoms either way yet, well I have been struck by the intensely hungry monster stage of PMS which normally starts a few days before AF for me. I think just a case of waiting now and moving onto the next cycle, I'm ok with it![/quote]
I actually didn't have a clue what cycle day I was on then sweet until I've just loaded my app because it's gone into hibernation! It's saying im cycle day 13, ovulation in 4 days, can't wait to see that flying pig with unicorn sparkles when that chance will arrive for me ;) but you never know hunny anything's been possible 😂🙈🙈

kaylsd · 17/05/2021 20:05

@Tangfastic91

Good luck with the jeans *@kaylsd*! Dreading having to wear clothes than aren't elasticated again once the country has opened up a bit more 😂.. not even sure my feet will fit in shoes any more either!

I actually tried a pair of jeans on at the weekend I could get them on however there was no hell in chance I was even going to get the zip up one bit never mind button at the top! It makes me laugh the false sense of security I've had In lockdown life living in nursing Tunics pjs & joggers and now I've got to consider wearing things what actually a body shape of some form😳😳😳

minthumbugs · 17/05/2021 19:58

@Tangfastic91 I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting to hear, I get more excited for other people to test! 😂 No plans for me to test, wasn't feeling anything until tonight and I'm absolutely starving so seems as if AF is on the way for me in the next few days. Just going to wait it out. X

Tangfastic91 · 17/05/2021 19:54

@minthumbugs, I might try a FRER tomorrow if af doesn't come overnight. But really I should wait until Thurs/Fri to be officially late. I think it's psychosomatic to be honest as I've had every other PMS symptom I usually get (sore boobs, desire to eat the entire fridge, grumpy at DH 😂) so I can only surmise that the TWW has messed with my head. We'll see! How are you? Planning to test soon?

minthumbugs · 17/05/2021 19:46

@minthumbugs

Amazing *@kaylsd*, I fell off the healthy wagon as well this weekend but it's been round to pick me back up this morning 😂 that sounds lovely! I haven't even been anywhere for an outdoor meal yet, waiting it out for things opening up here! X x

Are things where you live being abit more slower with the opening up? I feel like part in frozen where she opens up the gates but it's us opening back the UK 😂😂😂 I'm gonna try my best to kick start it back up this week need to get into that healthy BMI and pre lockdown jeans 😘💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

Tangfastic91 · 17/05/2021 19:13

Hi ladies, bit of a strange day for me. AF maybe due today (cd28) but I can also have 29 or 30 days cycles so unclear. Mild intermittent cramps all day, convinced AF will start any minute but hit by a massive dizzy spell and sofa ridden for last 2 hours. I'm convinced my mind is playing tricks on me and AF will rock up any minute.

kaylsd · 17/05/2021 18:52

@CycloGoose

Sorry ladies. Between work and DTD I have not had time to write on here. Just finished reading and catching up and it's way past bed time when I have a 5:55 alarm 😭

Sounds like everyone had a lovely weekend. So much love all round. Always thinking of everyone who posts on here and wishing you all well even if I don't get time to type it!

No LH testing here this month. Think I'm in for a long month though as no sign of ovulation yet on my OvuSense. Boobs have been sore today though and I passed out on the sofa at lunchtime both Sat and Sun but whether that's progesterone or the workload is anyone's guess!

Had my little friend Buddy around and here's a pic of him helping with the housework 🤣

Hope you had a gorgeous anniversary @minthumbugs

Good luck on Wednesday if I don't get to post properly before then @kaylsd Your colleague made me cry, too. What a beautiful, thoughtful person. So gorgeous.

XXX love and baby dust

Omg look at buddy he is soooo cuteeeee! I hope you've been okay darling I know how much it's hard when there's not much of a work life balance :( I wonder if your jab has caused you do have a whack cycle? When I had covid in November the doctor said there's a link between covid and delaying ovulation I wonder if it's similar to the vaccine I'm sure I've read something on the internet about it delaying periods, it's been a crazy up and down what your body has been through the last month or two it's a hard balance to tell, I hope your ovaries start complying and get the ball rolling! We can't have any more non compliant ovaries otherwise I may just start a club and we can get matching t shirts 😂😂😂💁🏼‍♀️

minthumbugs · 17/05/2021 17:37

I'm the same @Purpleshoes123. Don't like negatives so I'm a wait it out kinda gal. I do have some tests in the house but I think my best bet is to wait seeing as I don't know exactly where I am in the cycle anyway! I have my fingers crossed for you. X

Purpleshoes123 · 17/05/2021 16:54

Thanks for your reply @CycloGoose that's interesting, I didn't know about the b6

@minthumbugs I haven't really thought about when to test. I think once I get a negative test it's quite upsetting, so if I don't test then it's nice to think there's still a possibility. What about you? When do you plan to test?

KayL1988 · 17/05/2021 16:27

@CycloGoose I love looking at other people's charts. It's amazing what can mess with cycle lengths - nothing is simple anymore!

minthumbugs · 17/05/2021 16:19

That's exciting @Purpleshoes123! That is some willpower. Are you waiting it out or do you have an earliest day in mind to test? I think I'm at most 7dpo and at least 2dpo so that's something 😂

CycloGoose · 17/05/2021 14:37

It might not have been the Covid jab @Purpleshoes123 I also take a boat load of supplements and I've just realised my new iron and b12 (I'm borderline anaemic) tablet has b6 in which is known for messing with cycle length so could be that. It's been totally dodge since MC anyway.
I had it a couple of weeks ago. My chart is wild.

Purpleshoes123 · 17/05/2021 12:51

@minthumbugs I'm 5dpo and have been symptom spotting, can't help it! I've had left sided pelvic pain which seems to have gone away now and boobs have been a little bit sore but it's probably all nothing. Haven't got any tests in the house because I know I'll just waste them, and today I went in a shop and didn't buy any!

@CycloGoose when was your covid jab? I'm thinking about getting mine but don't want to if it's going to mess up cycle

[quote KayL1988]@kaylsd hope you feel a bit better now. Hangovers are the worst!!!!

@minthumbugs I've tested this morning and my LH levels look like they've increased again a bit but not ovulating. I'm so curious for next month as to when I ovulate!

How is everyone's Sunday?? Xx[/quote]
I swear hangovers are getting worse in age, brewing like a nice wine 😂😂 when I was younger I could be hanging out of my bottom in the morning and then all up for the sesh come the afternoon! Now I need about 2-3 business days to come round 🤣🤣 I hope you've had a lovely weekend sweetpea and good luck with the positive OPK, tis after all the best part of it 😘

kaylsd · 17/05/2021 11:46

@minthumbugs

Oooh *@KayL1988* have you done another one since? I'm not sure, my ovulation dates are a bit unreliable so maybe up to 2 weeks out from where it's set! X

Strange @MammaJ21, come join us on the chill train for a while maybe? 🤣 Thank you lovely!

@kaylsd that's all the signs of a good night 😏 you and your friends sound like my kinda gals, straight onto justeat for you today 😅

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend. X x

The healthy life failed me this weekend me and hub managed to rise from the dead with a family feast from kfc... for me and him and the dog 😂😂😂 well I guess the pooch makes us the family right? ;)

Back on the healthy grind today though until Friday when I'm going out for tea with hub indoors for the first time since our wedding meal before covid lockdown number 3! Gonna be so strange eating indoors but least we don't have to worry about our food being cold anymore from being outside too long :') hope your Monday is nice and mellow!
