Tactical seduction and POAS addicts

@bunnykins123 im gonna say 0-1, 0-3 0.-5 for me depending on what the OPK says today. I can guarantee I have been using the cup wrong (it comes out about an inch) but sure was worth a shot, even for the hilarity of the boiling process 😅

@bunnykins123 we did it anyway and my pain had started too. Very proud of my seductive skills here 😂🙌

@MrsCristianoX why is it when you need them to be fit and healthy they come down with man flu?! Looks like we are cycle buddies - had my peak yesterday so assume I ovulated over night.

@TheBirdintheCave did you give it an attempt last night? I had pains over night too so assume I have now o'd but haven't had much of a temp increase this morning. I have the fertilily another go last night but not sure there was much point as it was probably too late booo.

Oh and DH has developed man flu 😷

After saying I would not be doing OPKs got a flood of EWCM this morning tested when I got home from work and it's hit 1.15...not letting the group name down @FfayeN

@Indianna2006 sorry you had a crap experience but on the plus side at least she's not on delivery suite

Ok nvm everything I said earlier 😂 I'm in a huge amount of pain this evening so can confirm that O had now occurred. Irritatingly we didn't dtd last night but eh. Maybe the cup has helped regardless.

@Indianna2006 yep totally get what u mean. Have u any other scans booked in or now waiting for the 20 week scan? X

@FfayeN does being unwell mess up cycles? That could explain why I'm about to O so late in my cycle which is so unheard of for me. I conceived DD from a late cycle so hoping this is a good sign (not that I believe in signs 😂) yeh I would be miffed if DH kept doing that to me. I would defo have lost it with mine if he kept doing that to me! When's you scan? Mines the opposite - he forgets half the time what's going on so have to remind him 🤦‍♀️

@calimc83 she was just an old cow tbh. You know when you don’t warm to people. She was one of them. Altho had audience of 2 other ppl. So didn’t really feel comfortable. Think it just differs in area doesn’t it. Which feels unfair sometimes.
😩

@Indianna2006 I hope u are ok? That's so rubbish that she wouldn't check it for you. You'd think with the previous history of ladies with MC that they'd automatically check for you? Mine was really good and did so as soon as I got in the room when I told her how anxious I was xx

@Indianna2006 I didn't know that wasn't policy anymore! I refused to have mine done at my 16 week scan and the midwife told me I was being silly and did it anyway 😂 I'm so sorry you didn't get that reassurance today, I know how disappointing it must have been especially when you hoped it would happen.

@TheBirdintheCave my guess is you haven't O'd yet in that case. Do you think you can muster continuing to dtd until you get a temp increase? We have been doing every other day and I'm already done 🤦‍♀️

@TheBirdintheCave just said it wasn’t policy anymore. An I know it isn’t. But seems most still do. Especially as your small. As the main issue with ppl who were large and the fat layers like can block the heartbeat and cause worry. But if your small they’ll find it easy. I’m size 8. So no issues there.

so annoyed and now don’t feel like my anxiety is reassured again. Dating scan to 20 week scan is a long ole time again.

also cos I’ve not felt them. Think that doesn’t help.

@Indianna2006 What? Why wouldn't she do it? That's really cruel of her :(

@Indianna2006 I don't use them as they've never worked for me. I normally ovulate between CD16-19. It is possible it just hasn't happened yet I'm just annoyed it's taking so bloody long lol.

She wouldn’t check for it. So that’s given me zero reasurance 😩😩

@TheBirdintheCave did you get a peak on opk? I'm CD17 today and just got my peak. This is way later than usual for me and I was almost about to sack it off this cycle. Could it be that you haven't ovulated yet?

@Indianna2006 good luck at your appointment today! Hoping you get to hear the babies heartbeat 💕

@FfayeN oh god I can't imagine your DH's reaction to every symptom easing the anxiety! Have you spoken to him about it? I wouldn't worry about symptoms - I honestly don't believe they are much of anything tbh!

@FfayeN @lovenaps best thing to do is just pass the time. And count each milestone. And look at it in stages.

16 week Midwife appt today. Hoping she does the Doppler and I get to hear heartbeat but I know they don’t all do it. 😩

@TheBirdintheCave oh no!! Why are our bodies so frustrating. Perhaps it’s gonna be a late one

I don't think I'm going to ovulate this cycle 😭I was expecting a temp rise today but it's still around the same as it's been for the last week. CD 21 today and all O symptoms have gone.

@lovenaps thanks lovely xx I actually gave up early couldn't take the tabs 🙈 so back at it😊 nice to see you here with a little rainbow 🌈 Xx

I was trying to forget as well, worked (kind of) up until week 5 but not afterwards 😂
I have never had any symptoms (incl. prev. conceptions) other than fatigue but then.. I'm always tired! Got slightly sore breasts with this pregnancy but it's very subtle and I don't think it's anything like what most pregnant people describe... Weeing a lot more often. No nausea. Struggling to breath at night, I read it could be due to hormonal changes but I think it could also just be anxiety related. So other than these, no proper symptoms. Not panicking though as I know some people don't get symptoms.

What about you? x

@MrsCristianoX good luck ttc this month! I still remember when you had to take time off, it feels like the time has flown by...!
