@Ladylou17 @Mama500 @FlyOnTheWall89 @Lucyasc @FlipperyGibbet

Just started this new thread because ours is full. Hope the name change isn't confusing 😂 Tagging you too @rita83 if you ever pop back in to say hi! Have I missed anyone? I'm so rubbish with my memory 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

@Cruz86

Thank you *@Mama500* and *@Ladylou17*. Although, after saying I feel relaxed, my temps are completely all over the place and now I'm getting stressed that I won't ovulate at all 🤦🏼‍♀️ So tempted to buy some opks ahhh.

I thought you were more than 4 weeks @Mama500! It will go slowly now and then suddenly speed up as the pregnancy progresses 😂

I normally go by the very last peak that I get @Ladylou17 but then I put ovulation as a day or so after that as well. Do they match up with your temps?

How many dpo are you @Lucyasc? I use the cheap Femometer ones from Amazon x

Thanks @Cruz86 I'm either 5 or 7 dpo my temps would match both of those which is frustrating 😂 Do you think you would buy opk? What would you do about having a glass of wine in the 2ww? Of on a spa break tonight but don't know if I should or not xx
Lucyasc · 11/02/2022 09:38

@Cruz86 about 5 or 6 DPO roughly, thank you I will have a look! X

@Ladylou17 I did start getting achey boobs last month but around a week before I was due on so its a bit early this cycle! How are you getting on? Xx

Ladylou17 · 11/02/2022 07:54

@Lucyasc that's really positive signs! I use the easy at home ones they're the best I've found and not expensive xx

Lucyasc · 10/02/2022 23:42

Sorry for the silence last few days stopped getting notifications for some reason! Hope everyone is doing ok?
10 days until I'm due on my period and I've had achey boobs last few days, today really sore nipples they are bright red 😂 trying not to look into it too much but we've decided if we aren't successful this month to order some ovulation tests and try that way to be sure we are trying at the right time! Any recommendations for ovulation tests? X

Ladylou17 · 10/02/2022 16:54

I bet it's a long wait @Mama500 I did find cheap scans on Groupon for £28 I think but if you can hold out and relax I would do that. It is so hard though.
Hope this is your month @Cruz86
Random Q what peak do you go by? I had the CB opk digital on one day but then a really dark peak on cheapie OPK one day later. Really confusing xx

Mama500 · 10/02/2022 14:32

@Cruz86 every finger is crossed this is your month! Glad you are feeling relaxed about it all.

Yes I am actually, but time is going super slow, 4 weeks yesterday!

Our first pregnancy was a mmc so I has early nhs scans and private during all of the backwards and forwards.

Pregnancy with my ds I had early bleeding so nhs scan at 6 weeks but I had another private scan at 10 weeks.

This time I’m trying to stay positive and relaxed x

Okay thank you @Mama500, I'll start taking it next cycle so that it preps me for April! I have been feeling quite relaxed this month, but because I know I'm either around ovulation or it's imminent, I'm starting to get a bit fretty again 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 Really hope we won't need to worry about taking a break because that will be really difficult.

Yeah it's really frustrating that the nhs only offers a scan at 12 weeks! It is sooo long to wait. Are you feeling quite relaxed about things? X

OP posts:
Mama500 · 10/02/2022 14:01

I was taking it first day of cycle to O.

Ah exciting! @Cruz86 how are you feeling about it all?

I would like one but it’s finding the extra £80. 12 weeks is too long to wait. I think I’ll wait a few more weeks and then I’m sure we will book one x

I could add it to my plethora of vitamins and herbal remedies @Mama500 🤣🤣 I should be taking it right from the start of my cycle though shouldn't I? This month is no opks and just seeing what happens, next month will be a definite break because of Christmas due date, so I'll be starting again in April.

Ah glad you're okay. You've just got to roll with the hunger! Will you be having an early scan? X

OP posts:
Mama500 · 10/02/2022 13:49

Oh exciting! Would you try EPO for EWCM? Are you trying or having a break?

I’m good thanks for asking. Feel pretty normal just super hungry @Cruz86 x

Cruz86 · 10/02/2022 13:45

I've got a feeling I have @Mama500 because I don't have any ewcm anymore, although I only had a couple of days of it anyway. But my temps haven't confirmed anything yet so we'll see. Going to keep dtd every couple of days over the weekend just in case. How are you? X

OP posts:
Mama500 · 10/02/2022 11:51

Looking good @Ladylou17

We DTD a lot last month too.

@FlyOnTheWall89 how many dpo are you now?
@Cruz86 have you O yet?

Hope everyone else is ok? Xx

Let's hope so @Ladylou17. I'm only cd13 but I've had 3 days of temps that are literally identical to the ones last cycle just before ovulation. So I'm praying it's been bought forward by about a week! X

Ladylou17 · 09/02/2022 13:48

Ha! True ☺️ I really hope so! Fingers crossed for lots of bfp this month @Cruz86 xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 09/02/2022 09:54

hi @Ladylou17 6DPO now and temps still rising nicely as you would expect I guess. Sending everyone positive vibes. x

Ladylou17 · 09/02/2022 09:46

@Cruz86 @Janey3090 good luck this month!
How are you feeling @Mama500
Any symptoms @FlyOnTheWall89 sending you positive vibes 🤞
I'm 3dpo today temps are high which is good unusual to be this high already which I'm hoping is a good sign but I've been so stressed this month I doubt it'll be my month xx

My temps have done a similar pattern to last cycle and it looks like I may just be about to ovulate, but a lot earlier on. Really hoping my temps stay high from now! X

I'm normally around day 19 so very similar to you @Janey3090. But I did notice a little bit of ewcm today so I'm really hoping ovulation happens over the next few days. How are things with your cyst? X
