ClearBlue Strippers

[KubaLeebre]

O'd yesterday! Anyone fancy joining me on a 2ww?

Bedfordshire here. Moved out of London 10 years ago, much happier.

Well, that is me definitely out. Woke up in the night with really strong cramps, cripplingly painful, then about 3 am AF. I am vaguely wondering if all the symptoms mean a weak chemical as they have stopped quite quickly, and AF is nasty. I had a couple of chemicals years ago before actively TTC DD, and they were very similar. Onwards to the next real cycle.

Sorry to hear that limplettuce. Baby dust for the July bus

Oh I'm sorry limp!

I'm honestly not sure whether I'm in or out. Still no AF. Having the most vivid and odd dreams at the minute, but could just be due to heat. Going to test tomorrow I think.....

We are in the north west. Moved into a rural area last year ready for kids, it's a real family estate with kids playing on the streets and parent committees etc. I love being a country bumpkin!

Thank you. Feeling a bit sorry for myself, mainly because it is so sore this morning and I really wish I wasn't at work watching happy go lucky colleague showing early scan pix around the room. Allowing self to mope a bit this morning only.

So sorry limp. Would a massive icy cold glass of wine or a g&t help after work maybe?

If the cramping dies down there will likely be a couple Dandan.

Have only ever used an app and checked CM, I think I need to do some research re using OPKs properly and maybe some decrepit egg supplements to try and give me a bit more focus - at this age I think it isn't much cop just looking at rough ovulation and DTD a lot, so I think a good MN trawl and a little wine in the garden is a great idea.

That sounds like a great plan for today! I think it's ok to mope a little when we are going through this. It's an awful process.
I've had the clear blue digital ovulation recommended to me previously if you wanted to use opks.
Enjoy the wine! Are we all sticking round on this board? I quite like our little group 😊

I have some cheap ones but haven't got my head round them - will look into a clearblue digi kit.

I think I will Clacton, its a nice small thread. I am finding it so useful actually to have somewhere to release the crazy. Mum is too impatient for another grandchild, my bestie is about to pop with DD2 (I loves her though and she makes beautiful babies so I am excited) and so is understandably not too comfortable with my fears about it, and closest work colleague is on my secretly hate list, so it really helps.

Ha ha! I love secret hate lists!!! Me and OH work at the same place and we love comparing lists ha ha.
I looked at the cheap ones and had no clue on what to do. At least the digital ones have a smile! I got mine off amazon for about £10 so not too bad.
Ask your mum to stop the pressure - that definitely won't be helping!! Does she know you're TTC?

She has an idea it is in the pipeline and knows not to badger me, but if I talk about what has happened this month it will just set her off. She is usually pretty sensitive, but I would rather not get the sympathetic not quite asking but raising an eyebrow looks for now :)

Hi all! @LimpLettice I know how you feel, I took it especially hard this month too, we've been on this wagon for 9 months 😫 I'm using clear blue opks and baby aspirin and preseed this month, I'm going all out!

@Clacton Im sticking around, I like our wee group too! So nice ☺️ and we are all spread around too! Waving @Cherylttcagain

Wine in the garden sounds fab!

@Dandandandandandandan can you convince him just to keep going at it?!

Not sure who said earlier in the thread but all the sex... jeeze who can be bothered! I like a book and an early night-to sleep! 😂😂

I'd definitely like to hang around for more cycles :)

Still no AF. Today would have been my last day on (if it had started when it was supposed to). Too scared to do a pregnancy test though as I had a BFN on Tuesday which was 14dpo.

Had a stomach ache today.

How's everyone else feeling?

I'm sticking!

That's weird - are you often late? Could be worth another test...

I'm feeling frustrated and disheartened waiting for a sign of my cycle . Worst thing is there's nothing I can do.

Our cycles have been so messed up this time for a few of us!
I'm late too, should be my second day today. No signs though apart from bloating and huge sore boobs. I think I may test tomorrow or Saturday.

@Cherylttcagain jeeze how have you not been poas constantly?! I'm impressed!

@McTufty hugs for you! Have got PCOS?

emhw

I certainly hope not! Been off pill only 4 weeks so I think it's just my body readjusting. I hope so anyway. Possibly I ovulated last week without realising as I was on honeymoon and no OPK but no signs of it so unlikely. Just a waiting game for me with my fingers crossed!

AF isn't usually late it's usually spot on with cycle length too. I don't feel pregnant though. I was hoping to wait until Saturday or Sunday to test again if AF doesn't show. I do have to convince myself each morning not to test though haha!

@McTufty ah ok yeah it might take a while, I think your gp can give you something to help if it goes on too long? Or maybe you got lucky!! Have you tested?

@Cherylttcagain @Clacton I've got my fingers crossed for you both!

I'm getting back on the shagging waggon tonight ladies, every second day until bfp or Aunt Flo. Other half seems up for it, I bet he won't last the week! 😂 poor sod!

Had a BFN this morning, then soon after I had pink blood (pale pink) when I wiped. My guess is AF will be here properly later today :(

EMHW, good luck!!!! My aim is for mainly every other day next cycle too haha! I love how keen the fellas are at the suggestion ;)

Sorry to hear that Cheryl.

Woke up totally flooded this morning, in a right old mess. DD has no recollection of me having periods (Jaydess stopped them completely) so I explained yesterday. She came in the bathroom while I was cleaning up and was aghast. Safe to say she's gone off the idea of puberty. 😳

Hehe! Maybe we need a name for our little group, seeing as most of us are jumping on the next bus?!

I'm sticking around too, can't wait to get our first BFP in this group! Fingers crossed everyone!

@Cherylttcagain oh no.... hope you are ok!
@LimpLettice that made me lol! She must have been horrified, poor thing, the reality of getting pubes and boobs.... 🙊😂
@KubaLeebre yes how can you change it?!? Name suggestions?!

Where is everyone in their journey?! Shall we do stats? Can't remember if we did those?
