Good luck for Monday @peaches @weasledee and @Marty!
@UnicornsandRainbows1 yep! I must be really wicked 😂 Really no idea but must just be body going skewy on holiday. This is cycle 4 after MMC and been pretty regular last few. Last month was a 30 day cycle and ovulated cd17 so this is annoying. So glad you have reached 12 weeks and all is well!! I know you must still worry but try and enjoy it now, it's such a special gift.
@Kingy2910 also so nice to hear from you. Also thrilled for you and same advice as above!

peachesarenom · 07/04/2018 18:26

@Martydog can you wait till Monday? I read the packet instructions wrong!

randomuntrainedcuntowner · 08/04/2018 07:44

So should be starting AF today. Nothing yet. But also bfn on cheapy test today with FMU. Will keep you posted

peachesarenom · 08/04/2018 08:44

Gosh! That is an interesting username randomuntrainedcuntowner wanna poas on a frer with me tomoz?

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 08/04/2018 10:01

Wow well didn't expect the first ovulation since miscarriage to be so painful I've never experienced pain in ovulation before so it's very strange but means maybe I'll know my cycle a bit more which will help with TTC

Boboelephant · 08/04/2018 10:58

@Lovewinemorethanhusband I also get alot more pain than I used to. Yes it's a good way to look at it that you can be a bit more on touch with what your body is doing.
I think I might have finally ovulated yesterday! FF is staying mum at the moment since it took away my coverline after I logged the positive opks on Friday. Glow has confirmed Sat was o day and my temp dipped yesterday and shot up from 35.95 to 36.45 today so fingers crossed I am finally in the tww! I bd'd twice yesterday and this morning just in case!

randomuntrainedcuntowner · 08/04/2018 11:05

@peachesarenom - still nothing as yet, also my bf last night made some rosemary pesto last night that absolutely turned my stomach and usually I love his cooking, so hoping that's a good sign?! I may do a frer tonight as got the day off tomorrow and would like a glass of wine...

I might get a pack of 2 from midnight pharm tonight and do one tonight and one tomorrow - that is if AF hasn't made her ugly appearance by then...

randomuntrainedcuntowner · 08/04/2018 11:09

Also really noticing people's body odour in work today...

Daffodils86 · 08/04/2018 11:11

I have had positive opk 3days now.
Friday eve, sat morn and eve and again today. Not really getting lighter. Anybody else have +opk this long??
Not really sure what's normal.

peachesarenom · 08/04/2018 13:02

Lol randomuntrainedcuntowner people's body odour!

Claire138 · 08/04/2018 13:49

@boboelephant yes still doing acupuncture. Don’t know whether it’s a placebo or not but after a session with her I can definitely feel my ovaries twinging. Going to keep at it! How are you finding it?
I finally got a positive opk today! Yay! FF is forecasting ovulation for tomorrow...so I’m on track for now 🤞then it’s the hellish TWW 😱
GL to everyone POAS this week! 🤞

Boboelephant · 08/04/2018 14:09

Good luck for testing @randomuntrainedcuntowner
@Daffodils86 can you post a pic of your opks?
@Claire138 yep I like the acupuncture too. Not sure if it's doing anything but it's relaxing! Has yours recommended best times in your cycle to go? Glad you got a pos opk, we'll be in the tww together. Always good having someone else to obsess with!

Claire138 · 08/04/2018 14:31

@boboelephant she did say to come initially every week for the first month then every other week but because of her hours and my working hours we have only been doing every other week which seems to fall a few days before ovulation and few days before AF, so I feel like they are good times anyway. What has yours said? Yes, we can be crazies together! The TWW is awful...good to have a buddy!

Daffodils86 · 08/04/2018 14:35

@Boboelephant
I only have a picture of one of them, and thats Friday nights one.

Cakelaur · 08/04/2018 14:41

@Daffodils86 have you done a preg test?? When I was recovering from mc my opks were blazing positive until I tested negative. So it could be your bfp!!

Still no AF. I'm now a day late. So worst case scenario I've lengthened my LP by a day or two. Can't be a bad thing! Temp drop this morning so AF is likely to show up any time now.

randomuntrainedcuntowner · 08/04/2018 14:44

@Cakelaur 🤞

Daffodils86 · 08/04/2018 14:50

@Cakelaur
I did a hpt over week ago and was bfn.
I also did opk for a good few days during this week, they were all negative, until Friday.
From what i have read 3days are not to uncommon, im hoping it will be neg later today or tomorrow morning.
I think i had 3 pos last time but can quite remember.

Have you tested recently? 🤞

Boboelephant · 08/04/2018 14:51

@Claire138 she's really unpushy so kinda says come when you can. She says the most important one is a few days before ovulation and I've read that days 6-10 after ovulation to help with implantation. I'll try and book one for late next week or early week after. Yep definitely good to have a tww buddy!
@Daffodils86 no worries I was just asking as I'm still getting darkish lines too after my pos opk Friday night but the lines are getting a bit lighter. Are yours still as dark or darker than the control line? It can take up to 48 hours to ovulate after surge so maybe you just have a really long surge? Keep bd'ing!!
@Cakelaur hope she shows up soon so you can crack on for next month.

Daffodils86 · 08/04/2018 15:03

@Boboelephant
The one i had Saturday morning was super dark, the one before that and two following it have not been as dark as that but still same as control line. Hopefully its all going in the right direction.
Thats what i was thinking, just longer sure or caught it on way up and down.
Im not sure i can manage more bding lol!

Having weird symptoms too. Sharp pain in sides of boobs, a bit achy in pelvic area and some bouts of nausea today. So weird. MC definitely sends things a little crazy.

Boboelephant · 08/04/2018 15:24

@Daffodils86 sounds like it's going in the right direction. I reckon you'll probably ovulate at some point today. Yep I got a massive wave of nausea on Friday night- thought I was going to faint or vomit. Then went really faint yesterday afternoon- pretty certain I ovulated last night. I never used to get anything before MMC, definitely sends things a bit crazy!

Martydog · 08/04/2018 15:40

Anyone that has used progesterone cream noticed symptoms before af were more severe. This the first cycle I've used it and I'm really tired, bloated and my boobs are sore. Also I'm have lots of nausea. Secretly I'm hoping I get a bfp this week but I don't want to get to excited if it's just the extra progesterone.

@Martydog I had really sore boobs. Don't normally get that. Sorry. I got my hopes up :(

@Boboelephant
Yeah i think you are right, ethier today or maybe yesterday.
Will just wait and see what happens next.
Be good to share the 2ww @Claire138
and maybe the inevitable anxiety if its bfp all round.

Boboelephant · 08/04/2018 18:05

@Daffodils86 yep sounds like it. Do you temp or check your cm?
