Yup. 1dpo - 5dpo. But pineapple core. So I just got a whole pineapple and sliced a whole bit off each day. And ate the core and the outside.

Cakelaur using FRERs. I'm just gonna wait till Wednesday when AF is due. I'm not holding out hope despite temps. Thanks though.

thisisouryrfx18 thank you. I really can't mess work about. They've already got pissy about it. I fear they think I'm pregnant as had a few comments which obviously upset me as I wish I was.

@Cakelaur oh well missed 1dpo need to get one 2day for 5dpo im feeling very emotional 2day dnt know if its stress or pms building up prob is bloody pms! Ive noticed ive not had sore boobs all month i normally get them from ovulation onwards strange

thisisouryrfx18 · 14/05/2018 08:35

DaisyMay25 · 14/05/2018 21:08

Still BFN and had a temp drop today. At due tomorrow Sad

Cakelaur · 15/05/2018 07:33

@TwittleBee so sorry babe. That's the downside of temping, it can get your hopes up even more! But you never know.... as they all say. You're not out til af shows! 😉🤞🏻

Cakelaur · 15/05/2018 07:34

@DaisyMay25 yup. That's what I did. Was the first thing I ate in the morning. Yummy!! I actually loved the pineapple. I eat quite a lot of it now!! Haha just minus the core! Haha

Cakelaur I know, and I suppose it hasn't dropped down to cover so who knows. I guess we weren't really trying this cycle either, wanted to wait for tests to come back first, so only DTD once within fertile week.

italianwifey · 15/05/2018 09:20

Ah sorry to hear @twittlebee but @cakelaur is Right you’re not out until AF shows. As you said waiting for test results and also I think it was you who earlier in the month told Me you only need to DTD once to make a baby! Fingers crossed for you let’s hope. Any other signs of af?
I am still not 100pc sure I ovd as half heartedly temping and mine came down a lot today but trying not to pay too much attention because I haven’t been putting much effort into it and also Cos the Gynae told me so many things can affect it not always reliable.
I’m trying not to get my
Hopes up as had no spotting yet which I usually have had for two days at this point in my cycle... not due until Sunday though so little while to wait and see yet.
I literally peed on an opk yesterday just to satisfy my craving to poas, think I’m losing it!

TwittleBee · 15/05/2018 09:33

italianwifey haha yup sounds like something I would say, pretty sure I've said that few times times! Weirdly no PMS symptoms at all this month, not even my usual heavy boobs. So who knows!
I totally get that POAS craving though - that used to be me! Hopefully you have Ovd and yeah temping can clearly be so unreliable, I find that when DH is on nights (so I haven't got him in bed) my temps tend to be higher. FX for you so much lovely

thisisouryrfx18 · 15/05/2018 10:02

@italianwifey think im gonna test on sun aswell prob way to early but its a comprise with OH lol

italianwifey · 15/05/2018 10:34

Ah @twittlebee fx for you too.... it’s good you’ve got no usual pms symptoms and you’re due tomorrow right? It’s so hard not to overthink everything isn’t it. Have you done any tests yet? I’ve only got two frers at home and no ics so I literally am holding back for as long as poss.
@thisisouryr how many dpo will you be Sunday? X

TwittleBee · 15/05/2018 10:44

italianwifey done 2 FRERs, one today and yesterday both BFN and yeah AF due tomorrow. AF never arrives in the morning for me either so I'm always on edge during the day. With DS, I got a BFP on a FRER on what I think must have been CD7 - but perhaps I got that totally wrong. Hold off for as long as possible with the FRERs, theyre so bloomin pricey and you still have a few days to go!

Feel so fat today, feel like crying. I look like I am about 5 months pregnant - I'm only a size 6/8. I had to wear a floaty dress today to hide my ever growing bloated belly. I haven't even put weight on - I've lost it urgh!

OP posts:
italianwifey · 15/05/2018 11:29

Oh no @twittlebee, I’m sorry to hear that :-( I used to get mega bloated too before AF, and just randomly throughout the month. Have you tried cutting out any foods to see if that helps? I’m sure you’re not fat, you sound tiny! Thanks, you’re right I should hold off and I will. Two is okay, and my friend told me she didn’t get a BFP till several days after af was due!! So still hope yet!

TwittleBee · 15/05/2018 11:40

italianwifey My first thought was carbs but I've never had this issue before - its only been a problem for past 3 months. My belly is bigger now than what it was post-partrum. But I've also lost weight and haven't had an appetite lately.
Yeah Cakelaur said the same actually about how long it took her before she saw a bfp - I suppose I am only 12dpo - if I had a longer luteal phase, I probably wouldn't have even tested yet. Here is to hoping!
Hopefully you will get a BFP on your FRERs - perhaps see if you can wait till Thursday/Friday at least

OP posts:
italianwifey · 15/05/2018 13:21

@twittlebee maybe try cutting out wheat or dairy for a bit and see if it helps? I think they’re common offenders! Not having wheat seems to help me but strange about the losing appetite etc, hope you’re okay. Not sure how stressed you’ve been etc but could it be that, in terms of the weight loss? Really hope you feel better soon.

thisisouryrfx18 · 15/05/2018 13:34

@TwittleBee that sux! @italianwifey could be right tho u can develop an allergy or food intolerance at any time in ur life sadly @italianwifey i ll only b 9dpo on sunday but OH said wait until the day afs due i was like no way can i wait that long so we decided 9dpo was semi reasonable😂

Original poster
TwittleBee · 15/05/2018 13:40

italianwifey yeah the bloat could be food intolerance I guess. I should know about all this after the research I've done into DS' food allergy and intolerances! Wouldn't be affecting my periods though or leaky boob though? I need to stop stressing, either way not good for me. Sorry I rant about it all so much.

thisisouryrfx18 haha POAS can be so addictive. Maybe bulk by the IC? Then it won't matter too much how early you start POAS!

OP posts:
thisisouryrfx18 · 15/05/2018 14:25

@TwittleBee already got a cupboard full of ic just need to convince OH to buy sum frers cause im skint lol..dnt say sorry for talking about the health stuff! Better talking about it rather than driving urself insane as i said ive been there its not fun especially when it keeps up at nite. Hard to distract urself when everyones asleep

thisisouryrfx18 · 15/05/2018 14:27

@TwittleBee sorry if ive already asked but do u BF ds? Maybe a blocked duct?

TwittleBee · 15/05/2018 14:32

thisisouryrfx18 thank you for being so great at understanding and being supportive. No, stopped BFing DS when he was 3 months. I'm gonna make a GP appointment the following Friday after the ultrasound to talk about everything again I think. Be good to talk through it all, especially when AF turns up that will mark cycle 11.
