My spotty AF has disappeared for now. Having an early night. Feeling really ill (probably the course of augmentin I just finished).

Night everyone. Lovely to have other women in similar circumstances to chat to. X

ttcat32 · 20/08/2018 22:00

@FlapJackered same! I won't be disclosing my regular intake 😂

Night @ValidUser let us know how you're doing tomorrow x

MrsR16 · 20/08/2018 22:04

Night night @ValidUser hope the humidity doesn't keep you up too much

MrsM2017 · 20/08/2018 22:07

Hi all - sorry just playing catch up as had a full on day lol.

Went with my friend to her dating scan today and it's made me even more super broody (if that's even possible?!) .... Kind of a bittersweet moment though as hoping it won't be long til it's me....

End of the day and AF is still a no show so you never know.... 🤞🏻

MrsR16 · 20/08/2018 22:08

@MrsM2017 ooh, fingers crossed!! 😁

Crossfitgirl · 20/08/2018 22:11

@ttcat32 I have just started temping a few days ago, I didn't like it at first but just getting used to it. I'm gonna be coming into my fertile time soon, so going to get on it. This will be the first month we have agreed to "try", so far my husband has initiated twice this week and we haven't even needed to so I'm really pleased!

I'm gonna try at least every other day. I might get some of that pre-seed lube!!

@delilah7 sorry that made me think of you haha but what kind of lube do you use? I remember you saying you lubed up the other day!! Does everyone just use normal stuff or are you using sperm friendly?

Also, I also get a bit meh sometimes I spend ages replying on here and posts do Sometimes get missed, but the speed of the thread is hard to keep up with - i may actually have to take a break from it soon as it's so time consuming and I don't wanna think about it ALL the time.
I also can't remember who said what and lose track if there's more than 10 things to reply to!! Lol

@flapjackered wine is good for conception. Fact.

@validuser feel better soon Xx
@mrsm2017 that must have been exciting getting to see what lies ahead for you! Get visualising yourself having that scan!
@purplestar9 men are so annoying, my DH gets up and runs to the window if he even hears a noise outside, if hes got an ailment its terrible!

Crossfitgirl · 20/08/2018 23:28

Haven't managed to reply to everyone but off to sleep. Night! Xxx

Delilah7 · 21/08/2018 06:21

@purplestar9 I have weekends off too, but then OH sometimes goes out with the boys so if I'm not my own it gets harder to not think about it!

@Crossfitgirl I just used normal for now, like I said before if I told my OH it's a fertility lube he might just freak out. I don't think he wants to try all that or the OPKS as of yet as we aren't even 6 months in. Yeah I agree... I don't wanna get obsessed! 😂 xx

Crossfitgirl · 21/08/2018 06:45

@delilah7 know what you mean, dh knows about my opks and has started getting annoyed at the temping (cos it beeps!) He's also seen my conception support tablets from boots that I just started taking. Fertility lube may just kill whatever romance is left!
Just wanna make sure it's sperm friendly haha xx

NewSparkle · 21/08/2018 06:55

Hi ladies, update on my situation. Took a clear blue early test and I’m definitely pregnant. Eeeek!

TTC first baby! Continued...
Delilah7 · 21/08/2018 07:17

@Crossfitgirl tbh I've just used mine for the fun of it haha haven't even checked if it's sperm friendly. So I'm 8dpo and took one those pregnancy strips as it's a negative :(

@NewSparkle VERY positive! congrats again xxx

MrsC87 · 21/08/2018 07:18

Congratulations @NewSparkle fabulous news! Xx

purplestar9 · 21/08/2018 07:18

Fingers crossed for you @MrsM2017 😊

@Crossfitgirl oh dear! He sounds quite an anxious person then! (I'm an anxious person but I'm getting better!).

@Delilah7 I'm quite lucky that my DH doesn't tend to go out very often. I get very anxious at night time (especially when it's dark) so I'm glad of this, don't like to be by myself at night for too long! (I sound such a wimp!)

@NewSparkle YAY!! Congratulations! That's so exciting! How are you feeling? 😃

Delilah7 · 21/08/2018 07:20

@purplestar9 I'm the same. More because his best friend died in a late night car crash and I just get abit scared when he doesn't come home... I can't sleep when he's out! Xx

NewSparkle · 21/08/2018 07:30

Thank you all. I’m bursting here but can’t tell anyone as it’s so early, lovely to have you all here. Il try get a dr apt in the next week or so.

@purplestar I feel good. A sore back & I cant close my new trousers I bought but I’ve been eating badly lately so prob more a consequence of that !

sunshine1987 · 21/08/2018 07:35

@NewSparkle massive congratulations!! x

purplestar9 · 21/08/2018 07:44

@Delilah7 oh that sounds horrible. No wonder you don't like it!

@NewSparkle good! Keep us updated as you go :) how far along are you?

I'm new to the temping thing, but my temp rose for two days (was the weekend and I took my temp a little later than normal) and has dropped over the last two days, as far as I know this is a sign of not being pregnant. Can anyone explain better what I'm looking for with temp spikes and drops? Please 😊

Delilah7 · 21/08/2018 07:49

@purplestar9 I was under the understanding of it rises that's when ovulation is? But I've never used it so could be wrong 😂

MrsM2017 · 21/08/2018 07:58

Congratulations @NewSparkle 😘

MrsM2017 · 21/08/2018 08:00

gjchapman · 21/08/2018 08:01

Congratulations @newsparkle

Delilah7 · 21/08/2018 08:08

@MrsM2017 is there any other reason it could be late Hun? xxx

MrsM2017 · 21/08/2018 08:16

Morning @Delilah7 🙂, no I don't think so, I've never had a cycle (ever!) Longer than 29 days and recently (like this past year) they've all been 27/28 days.

I was using the clear blue digital ovulation tests which showed positive for ovulation on cycle day 14....given the 12-36 hour window from a positive ovulation test that still means ovulation wouldn't have been any later than 6th August (cycle day 15) and I have a very regular 13 or 14 day luteal phase..... So goodness knows what's going on really?!

Hope all's well with you? x
