@zarala It sounds like you have a good plan there. Here's wishing you a happy, healthy and restorative few months.
@laney79 It is so bloody hard. But we will get out of the other side, I promise!! Limbo will not last forever. xx

@Daffodils86 looks like we're ovulation twins! I had another really dark positive this morning too so think I must have geared up for ovulation last week but it didn't happen.
@UnicornsandRainbows1 thanks. Yeah feels a bit of a bummer to be cd22 and not have ovulated yet. Especially when I've just got back from holiday and BD palooza. Looks like no rest yet!! How are you feeling hun? How many weeks are you now?
@Daffodil77 thanks. Yep it shows how random it is. Does make me wonder all those months where I wasn't tracking how many times we missed the peak time as had gone hard too early!
@Cakelaur haha I've completed my JYH Saturday mission! 🤣 Had to send DS downstairs and put Toy Story on to distract him! Yep seems that holidays do mess with mine too. I think my body was definitely gearing up for it but didn't happen. Another strong positive opk this morning and a temp dip so see what happens tomorrow. I think you're right and last Saturdays temp was higher as that was the first one in Tenerife and the dramatic change in outside temp.

Boboelephant · 07/04/2018 11:03

Oops posted too early, I was trying to change page!
@Claire138 that's interesting! A question to ask next time. Are you still having it? Yep temp dip this morning so I'll see if it rises tomorrow or if it's just because we're back in the UK now. Will also keep BD'ing- I'm giving @Cakelaur a run for her money now! 🤣
@ek78 I'm glad things seem to be moving a bit for you now. Hope that you are soon on the other side.

Daffodils86 · 07/04/2018 12:03

@Cakelaur we decided to carry on and see what happens. I figured if my body is ready then it will happen, if its not then it wont be our month.
Also its our first ov since mc, its just nice to know things are getting back normal, wont be too disappointed if AF shows up in couple of weeks, would be hugely lucky to conceive on the first try again.

@Boboelephant
Ahh thats cool, yes i took another this morning, never seen the test line so dark. Pinged up in seconds.
Looks like we will both be sliding into the TWW!!

Beck1988 · 07/04/2018 12:23

Just googled having mouth ulcers a sign of pregnancy! And found this! I've had ulcer since yesterday. Trying to not symptom spot but everything keeps popping into my head lol. Also had headache all day yesterday an I never get them! 🤞 Anyone had ulcers b4 their bfp b4?

weasledee · 07/04/2018 12:25

I think mouth ulcers are associated with the luteal phase of the cycle anyway, that's what my dentist told me.....

HidCat · 07/04/2018 13:11

At this rate I'll be believing I'm pregnant every day - wish there was a categoric sign that would be obvious lol.

Amazon bundle arrived today, 40opks and 10 hpts! Let the POaS fest begin lol. According to Ovia I'm on CD 11 though no peak on the opks I've been using so far so hoping it won't be long. This will be my first ov since MC too @Daffodils86 - the final hurdle towards getting back to normal

Beck1988 · 07/04/2018 13:14

Oh well I can wish 🙏 😂

Daffodils86 · 07/04/2018 13:28

@HidCat isnt it just! I do feel different, like finally shook that black cloud. Bit of a breath of fresh air almost.
I just hope the next one sticks! 🤞

xLeanne128 · 07/04/2018 13:44

I'm 7/8dpo and positive I'm up duff 🙈😂 (decided I was for the last few months too which I wasn't) yay let the nuttiness continue!!! X

peachesarenom · 07/04/2018 14:33

Thanks Claire138!!! POAS £5 much better value Smile!!!

Anyone wanna poas with me on Sunday or do I have to wait for the next POAS Friday?

Daffodils86 · 07/04/2018 15:02

@xLeanne128 when are you testing?
Im really going to try not symptom spot this times and not test for 2 weeks!!

weasledee · 07/04/2018 15:33

Peaches I'll poas tomorrow with you! I'm only gonna be 9/10 DPO so pointless really but who cares!! Grin

xLeanne128 · 07/04/2018 15:41

@Daffodils86 I'll keep dipping IC but guna just see if af arrives. Have the same symptoms I did when I was last pregnant it's so frustrating xx

peachesarenom · 07/04/2018 15:50

weasledee Yaaaaasssss! Thank you! I'll be 8 dpo! Frer says 6 days before your missed period so fingers crossed!

hayleyfx · 07/04/2018 15:58

I’m excited for all of you who are testing, I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
My OPK is getting so close to being positive. I’m CD14 today, usually ovulate on CD16. I saw that it was getting close last night and literally jumped my SO as soon as he got home from work, I wasn’t giving him a chance to do anything 🤣

Boboelephant · 07/04/2018 16:14

@Beck1988 hopefully they are good symptoms for you!
@peachesarenom I'll join you but it'll be an opk. I'll be checking whether I have bloomin ovulated or not! I also don't want to rain on your parade but just checking you know that when they say 6 days before they count the day after af due as 'missed' not the actual day. And count the day you test. So if you test Sun, 6 days would mean your af is due Thursday. Just don't want you to be disappointed!
Good luck to everyone in 2ww and fw!!

peachesarenom · 07/04/2018 16:23

Oh Boboelephant I'm very confused! My period is due on Sat so will Mon be 6 days before missed period?

peachesarenom · 07/04/2018 16:50

I have checked the packet! Will you test with me on Monday weasledee?

weasledee · 07/04/2018 17:13

It's a date peaches!!Grin

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 07/04/2018 17:15

@Boboelephant No rest for the wicked, hey? Any reason why do you think? I cant quite remember last month -_-

I'm doing okay thank you :) 12 weeks and had dating scan yesterday which was fine. Still so, so paranoid and anxious though. I guess that doesn't go away.

Kingy2910 · 07/04/2018 17:34

Hi ladies just thought I'd say.. Hi. So glad to see you're all poas so positively 👍👍👍really hope you all get those bfp very soon. Hey unicorns I'm a few weeks behind you but it certainly doesn't get any easier 😑

peachesarenom · 07/04/2018 17:37

I'm so glad everything is going well UnicornsandRainbows1 and
Kingy2910 - I hope to join you soon xxx

Martydog · 07/04/2018 17:56

@peaches and @weasledee I will join you tomorrow but I'm only 8/9 dpo. Today my stomach is so bloated it feels like it is going to burst open. 🤞

Martydog · 07/04/2018 18:01

Just finished reading the thread I can test tomorrow or Monday I have a new pack of 30 amazon cheapies. Af isn't due until Friday the 13th so I really want to find out beforehand if possible.
