TWW begins...stop me POAS every day!

[GlamourBear]

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.

Far thinking of you too and sending you a virtual hug 🤗💜🤗

Currently brewing this 🤗

@carastarchild

• oh I love that! I might save it :)

Think I’m out too :/ went to the loo and there was some slightly red but mostly pink on the loo roll! What the hell is going on with cycles this month! X

Oh I'm sorry @carastarchild x

Sending all you ladies a virtual hug. It's been a pretty strange week 💖💖💖

Fae I am so sorry to hear that 😔 keep an eye on it. Fx it's not AF.

London thanks for your kind words. How are you feeling?

MrsR pictures of my last cycle as promised. My AF started two days prior than recorded, as I didn't realise you could only set it up CD one to four. AF came on Tuesday 4th of September.

Out as I thought. AF in full swing, cramps and all 😒. I’m convinced my Luteal phase isn’t long enough as my app is now saying I ovulated on 22nd Sept (even later than my late ovulation) and AF started on 3rd October which would make it 10 days? I’m just really hoping it was an off cycle for me.

Good luck for next time everyone.

Oh not the news I was hoping to see when I managed to get back on here sorry AF has arrived @cara and @fae sending big hugs

Love the positivity potion too! I'm going to steal that to keep in my phone if you don't mind

Morning @glamourbear - how are you feeling? X

Morning I'm OK thank you @Fae

Are you sure your app is right with your ov date? I tried not to use that for my definite ovulation day as I'm sure it was a couple of days out some months.

@Glamourbear - glad you’re ok! I love that potion thing too, it really cheered me up! Thanks @carastarchild

Well my app said 16th then I got a positive opk on 20th and since I’ve come on three days late it changed my ovulation day to 22nd? I’m so confused! X

Ps thank you for the hugs :)

I think I'd be inclined to trust the opk rather than the app adjusting to your AF. That was my issue with the app it just adjusted depending on the norm if that makes sense. So your app adjusted because AF was late when it probably didn't need to?

@Fae1989 and @Carastarchild I'm so sorry AF turned up.. sending lots of positivity your way for your new cycle xx

I'm 6DPO and have no symptoms whatsoever.. I've had two cycles I had symptoms, I had faint positives and then heavier AF than usual. I had one cycle with no symptoms and AF came as usual. This really does play with your mind.

@ChikiTIKI AF is due 10th, if it isn't here by 11th then ill text then. What about you?

@LondonKez how are you feeling?

@GlamourBear how is being pregnant feeling :) are you still getting lots of sysmtons? Xx

@Carastarchild yeah it's mostly been brown... I had nothing over night at all and nothing so far and I've been up for a few hours. Im gonna hazard a guess and say AF has stopped now? I'll wait a few hours and see, but a two day period means my cycles really have messed up x I LOVE that potion 😂😂 please share it out 😂

Sorry @Fae1989 😩 are you temping or using OPKs? Sorry if I've missed it xx

Sorry all, missed so much, been mental at work :(

@Fae1989 sorry to hear she got you :( I would go with your OPK and say you o'd on the 20th. I've been convinced since your post with the OPK pic - I predicted your BFP/AF around 3rd or 4th so you're right on time and your LP is perfect. The app is def. wrong.

@Carastarchild sorry she got you too, she's been a busy bitch witch. Loving the potion though! When is your next O?

@Curlywurly3 and @ChikiTIKI keep us updated!

O is monday or tuesday for me.. DP now has today through weds next week marked in his calendar (you're welcome, DP).

@cupcakesandglitter really hope things settle soon xx

@cupcakesandglitter - not been temping, is it better than using opks do you think? Hope you’re ok and af is nearly done!

@lottieb87- thanks lovely! I wasn’t doubting your knowledge btw :) just panicking as cycle normally regular. Do you reckon I still ovulated on 20th if I got a positive opk that day and the day after? How are you? Good luck for o day!! X

Thanks @LottieB87 xx

@Fae1989 it depends what your routine is like - my sleep pattern is soooooo all over the place so my temps are too. But there are people who get a clear chart and so can clearly see where they have ovulated, so it's more reliable than OPKs, only problem is it'll show you AFTER you've ovulated rather then giving you an indication before, so maybe do both? XX

@glamourbear - yeah definitely thinking of kicking the app out! It’s adjusted it based on me being late but estimated it wrong I think.

@curlywurly3 - keep us posted! I think no symptoms can be a good thing sometimes, all the others are so easy to confuse with PMS! Everything crossed for you :)

Ahhh it's so hard not to symptom spot! My left breast is starting to hurt, it started yesterday but ignored it. Today it's hurting a little bit more. AF due in 6 days.. no other symptoms though

@curlywurly3 - that’s the one good thing I find apps good for is tracking patterns in symptoms :) do you find that useful at all? I think every cycle can be different which doesn’t help haha x

@cupcakesandglitter - I have a few more opks so might use them first (for this cycle) then try temping if that’s unsuccessful. I said I was just going to take it easy and not monitor but apparently my body likes to ovulate later so maybe I should be more vigilant.

How’s everyone this afternoon? X

AF has arrived 🙈 on to cycle 3. We're going to try eating better this cycle, exercising more and drinking less alcohol. I've also just started taking pregnancy vitamins. Has anything else helped for you gals?

@feverbee - sorry to hear that! I take folic acid and vitamin D but I’ve read that starflower oil and omega 3 are meant to help? Sending you a hug:) x

@Fae1989 I'd take it easy with the OPKs - I've not missed any days to temp I think BUT i have subconsciously felt the pressure this month. Next month I'm not doing either and I'm going to just try and chill for a bit xx
