Anybody else? I'm on CD16, pretty sure I ovulated over the past day or two, now for the long frustrating wait to POAS! Why is it so hard to resist for 14 measly days?!

We are TTC #2 and this is our first cycle of trying.

@GlamourBear - it’s rubbish isn’t it but at least we aren’t in limbo anymore!

Thank you for the kind words ladies, what a nice support this thread is! AF has been busy. Did this thread synchronize our cycles??

DP asked me if I was going to go to the gym tonight, I said no I got my period today and I feel like ass :( and he was like 'OK I'll go now then on my own.. aww.. I'll miss you.' Umm hello?? You're more upset that we're not going to the gym together?? Men.

AAAaaannnyway.

@Carastarchild OK then! Fresh start!
This is pretty much the only time in my life I've appreciated having such short cycles...

Hi Ladies, AF not arrived for me yet although won't be late until after Sunday. Got an awful headache at the moment so might check back later after I've had a bath when I can read everyone's messages better. Still got cramping on and off and other weird feelings...

Carastarchild · 04/09/2018 18:35

@fae1989 I am absolutely exhausted! I feel I could hibernate for the rest of the month...or perhaps even for Winter itself Bear Grin It feels so so sooo good to be home.... Brew

New beginnings make everything feel alright again.

I am currently munching on a little bit of chocolate that @LottieB87 so kindly provided us all with Grin Grin Grin

I have still have my fingers and toes crossed for you @Chikitiki....a bath sounds lush..... Smile Quiet inspiring actually...cue me dreaming of a bubble bath.

Our cycles definitely seem to have synchronised! It's rather cool actually that we will share the journey together.

GlamourBear · 04/09/2018 18:57

@ChikiTIKI also have fingers and toes crossed for you!

Ugh AF has definitely hit me hard this month I've been an emotional wreck all day. I'm about to have a long soak in the bath while DH does the bedtime routine with DC. Then I'm going to put my feet up with a nice cup of tea and do absolutely nothing this evening 😀

Your evening sounds divine @Glamourbear Halo I am sorry you had a rough day... let it all out...feel it...and then release it...we are emotional beings for a reason. There are better days ahead.

ChikiTIKI · 04/09/2018 20:02

Hi again, headache mainly gone :)

I'm sorry about all the AFs :( I went to the loo loads today I just had the feeling it was coming soon. Will keep you updated though.

Feeling so exhausted but it's not a pregnancy symptom, its first day back at work after maternity leave symptom :(

I didn't know vitamin c could be helpful for ttc. That's good to know. With my first baby I used seven seas "trying for a baby" vitamins and this didn't have vitamin c. I avoided it because I read it can reduce CM. I have been taking regular pregnancy vitamins since being 3 months pregnant last time and still take them now as I used them while breastfeeding and only stopped that a month ago. I was going to switch to something that didn't contain vitamin c if I didn't get pregnant this month. I don't know much about the scientific stuff at all though, I suppose all supplements might have pros and cons. I might not change my vitamins then. Something I really should focus on is drinking more water I think.

GlamourBear · 04/09/2018 20:03

Thanks @Carastarchild for those lovely words Smile I hope you have a lovely evening too

Evening ladies hope you’ve all had a good day. Thank you all for such a warm welcome. So sorry to hear that AF had the nerve to show up at some of your doorsteps ⛈. Moving onwards and upwards as @Carastarchild stated, here is to a new fresh start ☀️ I have a strong feeling about this group 🌸🌸

Like everything else, I always take on board what resonates with me and leave behind what doesn't. We all have to do the same. We have a gut instinct for a reason. I have plenty of cm and I have been taking vitamin C for a free months now. Sometimes I do forget, but that's okay 😊

@Glamourbear I hope you are feeling better Flowers

Carastarchild · 04/09/2018 21:01

Few months.... annoying auto predictive text

Yes @Flossytots, I do believe this thread is a lucky one Star

Morning everyone 🌸
@LondonKez welcome! It seems we are cycle buddies 😉
How is everyone feeling today x

Carastarchild · 05/09/2018 11:53

@LondonKez welcome 😊 I am glad you and @Flossytots and you are cycle buddies. It's so so much easier to get through the tww when you have someone else going through the same thing with you.

Well I am cycle day 2 ...yawn 😴😴😴

Carastarchild · 05/09/2018 11:59

I just read back what I wrote ....Blush Blush...

Yikes Blush I am tired....

I am glad you have each other is what I was trying to say....... I am blaming my hormones Wink

LondonKez · 05/09/2018 13:01

@flossytots nice to meet you cycle buddy!

@carastarchild haha! I knew exactly what you meant!

These 2 weeks really drag. I need to find a new hobby to help the time pass. Has anyone else you d a good distraction yet?

Carastarchild · 05/09/2018 13:20

@LondonKez I find from about 5dpo difficult as I start serious knicker watching and symptom spotting. We tried not trying for a few months as well. I am 36, so I felt that I needed to become aware of my body and knuckle down to some more serious ttc Grin Grin

@Pops I hope you are okay and that you got better news this morning.

@Chikitiki I hope you are feeling better today

jenstarxx · 05/09/2018 13:24

Hi all can I join?

I've never posted so please bear with me on acronyms.

We have been TTC for 3 months properly with OPKs (clear blue) but trying in a more relaxed way since March.

Today was 13DPO and I really thought I had been feeling symptoms. Weird pulling feelings in the right places, slight nausea, lower back ache and very teary.

Out of excitement I got an Early test (sorry can't remember acronym) it was a BFN.

AF is due on Sunday so the symptoms must be down to her the old cow.

I was so upset and distraught because I really believed it this time, that I havent gone in work. (I'm in holiday tomorrow anyway and have a stressful job at the best of times so I thought not today)

It's absolutely knocked me.

Reading everyone's posts I have been so emotional but it's helped so much as I'm not the only one feeling like this.

I can't do this to myself every month. I wish I had read all these posts before I started being a one women symptom spotter!

Thank you all sorry for the long post!

ChikiTIKI · 05/09/2018 16:43

Hi @jenstarrxx, sorry you've had such an awful day :( my period is due on Sunday too. I keep going from being seriously optimistic to totally negative... Literally with BFNs! Trying to hold on to optimism until Sunday though.... Hope you still get your BFN.

I think you're right @Carastarchild it's best to do what makes you feel healthy. Definitely sounds like you've made progress with the vitamin c too xxxx
