[loopylou1984]

Reinstating the gin deck from a previous bus for AF arrivals, and stocking up on pineapple juice and Brazil nuts, fx for lots of BFPs this month.

madame bless you crying at the lovely baby! Fx for a true positive opk for you soon.

That will be you soon madame holding your lovely baby. Fx ov is confirmed for you soon.

So pleased all is well sammy. I'm so excited for you and can't wait for your update tomorrow.

I started getting ovary pains on and off since last Tuesday mummy but they've been quite strong since yesterday.

DD has lost my thermometer so couldn't temp again this morning. Will have to pick one up from tesco later.

If af catchup me again I'll buy some evening primrose oil capsules. Thanks mummy!

DizzyM I hope you found one!

Where the hell is everyone?!? I've been out for dinner and stuffed my face silly and come back and it's dead in here!

Morning all! sammy how are you feeling lovely?

How are my symptom spotting/tww buddies?

4 dpo yawn

mummy where did you go for food? I love food. Nom nom.

Morning y'all!
kir I'm not symptom spotting and neither have I noticed that my temperature dropped this morning. 6dpo. Which had happened every single time since I've started charting and followed within a day or two by AF. No sirree I have not noticed it at all.

Symptoms: I've got a blockef up nose and itchy eyes. guessing hay fever -Or a cat slept on my face? I know a sore throat is seen as a possible sumptom, but a general cold? I also can't get out of bed....

kir I went to a pub restaurant for a main course and eat all you can puddings

boris all feelings of crappiness are symptoms! I have a runny nose today because I have hayfever will ov today and the sperms are gonna fertilise that egg!

auf my temp always goes down a few days after ov too, and I made it to 6w 5d before the baby stopped growing. I'm not sure the temps after ov are all that accurate.

I definitely haven't been googling "4dpo implantation cramps bfp". Nuh-uh. Why the f* does nature make us have to wait so longgggggg?

mummy I'd skip the main and go for the puddings. And I can eat a lotttttt!

nomio eskimo where are you lovelies? X

Oh mummy and kir you are making me hungry! I'm skiving work at mid day today to take a mate out for lunch....
I'm also feeling like it's unfair to have to wait so long. I find the first few days the hardest, then somehow I chill out for the rest of the two weeks.
mummy do you gave other OV symptons. I get mild cramping which I think is probably psycho semantic as I dont remember having it before ttc (although I probably wouldn't have noticed...)

kir I had 4 portions plus the main haha. And this morning I've lost a pound!!

boris I've had low down cramping for the last 2 days which has stopped so I think I've ovd through the night. Other than that I've been feeling a bit sexier. I get a bit achy all over. I do wonder if I'm imagining it all too though as I didn't have this before Ttc. Or if I did I put it down to wind lol.

Oh and have a lovely lunch out! Days 1-6dpo are the longest!

Ahhhh my boss is off work #gotthatfridayfeeling

Boris I woke up with that Friday feeling!! Then realised it is Thursday Even DS didn't want to get up this morning, had to wake him up 3 times after 7! That never happens and I guarantee it wont happen at the weekend either

Hi lovelies,

I am still strugglung a bit at the minute, so needed a day off. I feel like I am not so much on a TTC journey right now as a treadmill. I try & try, but never get anywhere. Sorry to be so depressing!

Boris, cold like symptoms can definitely be a sign of pregnancy. My sister had that with her first.

Mummy/Dizzy, yay for OV! I hope you get lots of lovely sperms up there to smother those eggs!

Kir, I am exactly the same. Everything is a symptom during the TWW!

Auf, I really hope your fanny bullets work & your don't come on for a while yet.

I am so annoyed, I booked a careers advice session at Uni. It is on two different campuses, so I specified which one (my closest). Went there earlier & it turns out my appointment was at the other site & I couldn't get there in time. Now I have to wait until Tues to see someone. Grrrrr.

Nomio big hugs for you lovely. Sorry you are feeling so rubbish about TTC. I know we all say it but please really believe me when I say you absolutely will get there!! It seem like a never ending journey but journeys have to have an end destination and no matter what path you have to use, they all lead to your baby who is waiting for just you.

Sorry about your appointment too, it was probably all you needed to tip you over the edge today! I hope you get to see someone on Tuesday.

I did get lots of sperm up there – our best effort yet! Wanna see my chart? We don’t share enough charts on here these days! Going to DTD tonight too

Oops missing a few things off that chart ! Here is the updated one.

That is pretty impressive, Mummy! I really hope it is your lucky month.

We DTD last night, but just for fun. Only on CD8. Yawn. At least I can have a drink later. We are off to a barbecue with some of DH's work people.

I noticed a lot of symptoms around ov this cycle such as ovary pains and niggles, bloatedness and have been achey around my lower abdomen.

Boris cold symptoms are the first sign for quite a few people.

Yay for ov mummy.

I'm loving the symptom spotting on here so much that I've decided to throw caution to the wind and join in this month [grin ] Had another positive IC today but couldn't temp coz I forgot to buy another thermometer!

Hope AF stays away auf or at least your lp is lengthened.

Sorry you're still feeling down nomio. Ttc is a difficult journey but you will get there as mummy says. Yay for dtd just for fun and I'm sure you will work things through and your positivity will spark.

I can't share my chart coz it's pathetic. Very poor effort. Must try harder.

These are my IC's from yesterday and today. The second one is today's. This may sound stupid but when can I count the first dpo? I haven't temped for the last couple off days so I don't think FF will be able to confirm ov this cycle.

Chart for mummy That drop in temp today is very disappointing. I always drop at 6dpo and then get AF around 7/8dpo. Stupid progesterone not working. Was really hoping it would stay up. Ah well until AF shows I will xf. Oo-ooh but I laughed at your chart saying increased sex drive yesterday when you've had sex almost every single day.
Dizzy maybe you can just make up a temperature for the fun of it?
Thanks Nomio and dizzy. So sorry about the mess-up today Nom. I'd be very very very very very pissed off if I were you about the appointment. Hope you get some good advice from the careers service. My experience has been that some are really good and others are rubbish. Speaking of which I've recently been thinking about quitting research and doing something else. What can I do that will make me happy and earn me money?
