Hello again! Hopefully I've remembered everyone - apologies if I haven't, get tagging!

Thankyou @dottydally @PastaSauceHoarder

I think I'm miscarrying, it feels like when I've miscarried before. I know it's super early but this isn't a period, it's horrible. Just gonna ride out tonight and see how I feel.

@randomusernamehere ooo thanks I'll check out holiday hypermarket.. Not checked on there!!

@dottydally sorry to hear AF arrived!
@cupcakesandglitter sorry to hear AF arrived. Fingers crossed for you next month!

I'm also superstitious and wouldn't buy anything until after 20 weeks....although doesn't stop me looking now and again!!

Still no sign of AF for me, not sure what's going on! Still got watery discharge and my face has totally broken out! Plus with cramping/twinges now and again and sore nipples...CD40 today so who knows!

Also anyone on here with irregular periods? I have heard insotol is meant to help? Any one got any experiences?

I'm so sorry @cupcakesandglitter sending loads of love your way.

@Jelliestogether my periods were irregular but I have PCOS. I've heard good things about insotol never tried it. I'm apprehensive about things like that in case they make it worse! I managed to make mine more regular before DS2 by having acupuncture, taking metformin (for the PCOS) and eating a low GI diet. They've mostly stayed like that even though I've stopped the acupuncture and metformin. I notice the difference in my cycles if I start eating badly and put a few pounds on though.

@cupcakesandglitter are you sure it's fully AF and not just implantation bleeding maybe? I'm not trying to doubt you at all hun, just remember you saying it's a bit earlier than AF would've been due. Either way I'm so sorry you're feeling low, take care of yourself tonight and rest up xxx 💐

Big hugs @cupcakesandglitter

Yes I have @Jelliestogether. Haven't heard that one before but would be willing to try anything! So desperate to get AF back and be able to start trying properly!

Thank you all 💕

@rollerskaterdata yeah we're due AF on the same day, so it's really really early. I've gone to check and bleeding seems to have stopped for now but it's still really really painful, like AF.

I think I'm really emotional because even if it is AF, I went through so many months of my cycles being all over the place after getting the implant out, that I don't think I could deal with all of that again. I'd love to think it's implantation but with the pain and the fresh blood, I really don't think it is.

It's so bloody hard TTC, I don't think men understand the stress that we're under and the pressure we feel 😩 DH is being very supportive but he won't ever understand fully

Has AF still not arrived yet, @Pinkroseuk? I can't remember, did you say you'd taken that tablet to kick start it?

I'm (un)patiently waiting to ovulate, my app says I should be fertile this week but all the lines on my test strips are far too faint to be positive. 😣

Sorry to hear this @cupcakesandglitter
Sending hugs x

No sign yet @PastaSauceHoarder - he's taken the pills so hopefully by the end or the weekend there will be a sign!
Quite nervous though as i don't know if I'm ovulating and if I am will only have this one month to have a stab at it as I was only
Given one month supply of tablets :(
DH is very understanding but it's starting to get him down now too :/

Fingers crossed, @Pinkroseuk! Do you feel any ovulation symptoms at all?
Sorry to hear your husband is feeling down, TTC is so much pressure. Is he open when talking about it all to you?

It sounds like a lot of us have lovely supportive partners but it must be hard to understand from a mans point of view, like @cupcakesandglitter has said about her husband. I suppose thats the wondeful thing about this thread, we all sort of just get each other.

Not really @PastaSauceHoarder though it's been about 7 years since I had a natural period!
Yeah he's fairly open - he wanted a little one earlier but I said let's wait till we have moved house and kind of wish we hadn't now but no one knows what's gonna happen!

Yes agree with @cupcakesandglitter. I think so yes! Really helps being able to talk to you all on here - Thankyou :D

Definitely @PastaSauceHoarder and I'm so grateful to have you all, and that we have these threads to be open and honest about 💕

Sorry @cupcakesandglitter 😔, I really hope next month is your month. And you're all right, our husbands are all lovely and supportive but just don't get it, with obvious reason! You ladies are such a lovely bunch, I'm so glad we can all support each other! It's like having a lovely bunch of internet friends 😁💞

@rollerskaterdata thankyou, so do I 😩 I agree, I wouldn't have coped without all the support these last few months x

Thinking of you cupcakesandglitter hope the pain ease up soon

@pinkroseuk although my periods are no where near as irregular as yours I was thinking about trying them for my next cycle. they get good reviews online.

Exactly threads like this gives everyone support and Everyone knows how everyone else is feeling!!

Hope you've woken up feeling a little bit better today, @cupcakesandglitter.

Morning girls 🌸

Thankyou @PastaSauceHoarder I'm a lot better this morning. Zero bleeding since (it's actually like it never even happen, I at least expected some spotting) and thank god the cramps have gone. Seems like today is going to be a lot better - in staying positive either way x

How is everyone?

Spoke to soon - browny CM (like the kind I get at the end of AF) just now, only when I wiped. Who knows what's going on 🤷🏻‍♀️

@cupcakesandglitter so glad to hear you're feeling better this morning! Our bodies like to play games with us don't they?! I'm having almost non stop light cramping of my thighs and hips of all places, NO idea what any of this means but whatever will be will be and I'm determined to prepare for either outcome (BFN or BFP) this month anyway! I've already planned which OPK kit to use from next month onwards if this month isn't my month 😂

@rollerskaterdata I think AF has hit 😂 I'm going to celebrate with a glass on wine or three later.

I had thigh cramping too! It is odd with all the symptoms we feel, so weird how we notice every little thing.

You going to hold off testing for a couple of days? X

@cupcakesandglitter @rollerskaterdata it is Friday! Let's all have wine

I've been trying to think of an imaginative name for our next thread as we've nearly filled this one. No luck as yet so all suggestions welcome!

@cupcakesandglitter sorry the witch got you 😔 we're not cycle buddies anymore!! At least you're now CD1 and into a fresh cycle, if I'm not preggo I probably won't find out for another few days and so will be even more delayed in starting my next cycle 😕 fx this new cycle is it for you!

@dottydally oohhh Friday and wine, 2 of my fave things! Unfortunately for me I don't yet know whether or not I'm preggo so no wine for me 😂☹️
