*sore boobs

Lola871 · 21/02/2019 07:13

AF has arrived! I think having the coil removed mid cycle may have delayed ov by a few days. Not too worried/upset as we've kind of accepted it taking a few months, on to cycle 2!

BabySquid · 21/02/2019 07:14

@orangeloo I'm hoping to be with you on not SS... however I've had a few twinges already 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm 7dpo today.

@MrsH497 sorry about af, she knows how to ruin a party!

@PeacockingAbout I've also heard that about coffee, actually hoping it happens to me coz I don't much like decaf coffee and it would save me the risk!

BostonFern · 21/02/2019 08:08

@Lola871 sorry she has arrived.

@MrsH497 it's a cruel process.

@KatBeCool hope the progesterone doesn't have any bad side effects.

@PeacockingAbout 🤞 the coffee thing is a good sign!

BabySquid · 21/02/2019 08:28

Oh my days guys... the SSP is fully out in full bloody force!! I can actually feel something going on down there, like I can feel twinges but it's more than that! And my right boob is bloody killin!! Also had the most weird dream and the last time I had a dream that odd was... when it happened in September!
Tell me the calm the eff down!! I'm only 7DPO!!

starkid · 21/02/2019 09:00

@KatBeCool - love that the estrogen made you happier, what a nice side affect! Here's hoping for something equally good from the progesterone Smile
Such sore boobs... :( the worst side effect, as it happens every damn month, and every month I get excited then let down

OhMarnie · 21/02/2019 09:01

Morning ladies! So AF didn't show her face thankfully yesterday but I have a feeling she's on her way.

Got another squinter today on an IC but FRER is BFN so I think that's that.

Hate the limbo part - just want AF to get her so I can get on!

DayDreamer1707 · 21/02/2019 09:02

Morning Ladies!! It's nearly the weekend, we have almost made it through another week without completely losing our minds!! I can't believe how close everyone seems to be at the moment. It's like all our cycles are linking up 🙈. I am currently on cd26 and 14dpo, the wicked witch ready to show her red face at any moment I am sure. On the plus I have had NO SPOTTING!!!

@Lola871 So sorry to hear she has arrived, hopefully your next cycle will be better. Must of been your body still settling down.

@MrsH497 how are you getting on today? Sorry you was feel down yesterday x

@BabySquid I love how in like an hour you have gone from one extreme to the other...I do this. I try and just ignore all the CM, cramps, twinges and blah blah blah. They mess with your head and can mean so many different things. Easier said than done I know but certainly doesn't stop me from hoping though.

@MrsMcNtobe Pretty sure if you try and DTD for the next 2-3 days you should be covered, that is a positive x

@KatBeCool more like I am too chicken. Testing early always seems to bring AF along for people. I am just chuffed there has been no spotting so I will keep going with that feeling for now ha. Hope you are feeling ok after your progesterone x

@BostonFern how are you feeling after your bump, big test day tomorrow FX

BostonFern · 21/02/2019 09:13

HI @DayDreamer1707 no spotting is great news! My head is sore today, can't believe how clumsy I am! I'm getting impatient to test, even though there's only 24 hours left- I couldn't face my breakfast this morning, despite being hungry when it was in front of me I only managed a few mouthfuls. Wondering if this is some kind of new, cruel pre-AF trick!

BabySquid · 21/02/2019 09:24

@DayDreamer1707 oh I know tell me about it! I know I'm crazy!!
I'm really hoping for you, no usual spotting sounds good 👍🏻🤞🏻

LokiCat · 21/02/2019 09:37

Morning all, just had my appointment at the GP and they're gonna book me in for an ultrasound to check for PCOS.. I feel so sensitive and emotional today. Trying not to have a little cry to myself..

Hope the day improves for me. Hope you all have a good day x

OhMarnie · 21/02/2019 09:42

@LokiCat will be thinking of you, FX for a good result. If it is PCOS I think there is lots they can do to help you conceive. I'm feeling very emotional today too. Must be something in the air!

BabySquid · 21/02/2019 09:42

@LokiCat I hope it gives you answers darling, and if you want a little cry you go right ahead. I had a full on mini breakdown on Monday and I feel better for it. 🤗hugs🤗

OhMarnie · 21/02/2019 09:44

@LokiCat sorry just re read that, thought you were having the ultrasound today. Best thing to do is just to stay busy (easier said than done!) and make plans to look forward to to try and keep your mind off things (again easier said than done)

Lozzlepop · 21/02/2019 09:49

@wildrabbit @LikeTheFruit @MrsR16 @KatBeCool thank you all so so much X

@Lola871 yes at least I am out of limbo and know that I can give it my all for cycle 2, sorry to hear AF has arrived for you too, fingers crossed for us both in cycle 2

@DayDreamer good on you, I am happy that I am starting to see small positive changes from Fit Feb which can only make me healthier and better able to conceive (or allow me to eat way from choccies)

@LokiCat good luck for your appointment, hope you get some answers!

@MrsMcNtobe looks good to me time to DTD!

@BostonFern oh no, hope you are ok ❤️

@MrsH497 sorry to hear AF has arrived hun!

KittieKath · 21/02/2019 09:54

@MrsH497 oh I am so sorry, I was feeling quite hopeful for you too... is it defo AF? Such a bitch! What a mean trick.

I do wonder if the stress of the 2ww is causing my body into disarray. I burst into tears at work yesterday, and had to go home. Over an excel spreadsheet?! 🙈🙄

My OH keeps telling me to calm down, and it's still early, and be positive etc... which of course just makes me FLIP out! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

@Lozzlepop @Lola871

Sorry to hear AF has arrived for you too. I think I will be joining you in the AF hatred in a couple of days. Waaaah! 😭

Lozzlepop · 21/02/2019 10:08

@KittieKath oh no are you ok? I hate Excel, its the bane of my life at the minute! Fingers crossed AF doesn't show up

I am starting to remember how much I hate AF, so far feeling much more sluggish and sore than last month, meant to be going for after work drinks and really not in the mood 😒

starkid · 21/02/2019 10:15

@LokiCat - fx for an appointment soon, good that you're getting a scan xx

Lola871 · 21/02/2019 10:27

@KittieKath FX it stays away for you!

@LokiCat sorry you're having a rubbish day, do you know how long you'll have to wait for the scan?

@Lozzlepop AF can suck can't it?! I'm feeling lucky this month as now the coils out I seem to be getting much less cramping! Last month I literally just had to curl up into a ball until painkillers kicked in.

Unfortunately I now have a 2.5 week wait until my fertile window, TTC is really quite boring most of the time isn't it 😅

DayDreamer1707 · 21/02/2019 10:36

@BostonFern yes the no spotting has to be good sign either way. I don't really have any obvious symptoms apart from the no spotting really. This time tomorrow you will know though, positive thoughts!!!

@BabySquid last cycle I started spotting about 10/11dpo and then got AF on 14dpo.

@LokiCat you have every right to feel emotional and if you need a cry go for it. If you have the rest of the day off I say get lots of your favorite food and put a musical on. Feel better x

@Lozzlepop I was thinking of not going the gym tonight but I shall go and keep our FitFeb going. Also takes my mind of this lovely waiting game. Yes being activate and healthy can only help us and it's another way to feel a little bit more in control of this whole TTC x

@KittieKath oh no it's awful when you feel like that and you don't know why and you can't snap out of it. I often do it and then apologies whilst crying...got to love hormones x

I've not the stupid thing and googled 'No usual spotting before AF'...why do we do this.

LokiCat · 21/02/2019 10:41

Thanks @OhMarnie, @BabySquid, @Lozzlepop @starkid @Lola871! I'm just glad I ended up taking the day off for this appointment. Last thing I would have wanted was to go to work after.
You're all correct, at least I'll have some answers this way and then can get treatments/plans to help conceive! So glad I can talk this through with you guys, thank you for your words ❤️
Going to try and enjoy the breakfast DH is making for me and have a lazy day, I think.

@Lola871 no, she didn't really clarify a date. Just that she's going to put the form in for a letter to arrive at the house with a date for the scan!
Really sorry to hear AF arrived for you btw x

LokiCat · 21/02/2019 10:43

Geez, that name tagging turned out terrible! Sorry 🙈

Thanks @DayDreamer1707. I think I'll do exactly that! ❤️

KatBeCool · 21/02/2019 10:59

@LokiCat hopefully it's not pcos! But there are so many women who conceive with it. Plus, like @OhMarnie said, there is so much they can do for you, mainly the hormone pills that can do wonders.

@BabySquid for me the twinges were always the worst symptom. I felt very noticeable ones during a few cycles only to have AF arrive days later. So now I'm at least hoping it was due to my hormones being out of order before that the egg got fertilized but never implanted. So maybe the twinges do mean something! Fingers crossed for you!

@DayDreamer1707 I hear you on being too chicken. I think 18 DPO is the latest to get a bfp, so you're close, just a few more days. I wouldn't be able to wait longer.

@orangeloo sore boobs are usually a symptom of raised progesterone after ovulation, unless you never get that, don't let it fool you.

BostonFern · 21/02/2019 11:42

@LokiCat sending you hugs x

@Lozzlepop thanks, just a bit sore!

Lozzlepop · 21/02/2019 11:50

@Lola871 she sure can, i felt awful this morning, forced myself to get off the tram earlier and walk the long way to work, feeling a bit better now thankfully! Haha yeah theres a lot of waiting 😂

@DayDreamer1707 yes girl you keep it going, I will be back on it next week I'm hoping that I actually weigh less than the scales say due to AF bloating 👌🏻

@LokiCat sounds like a good plan, take the day for yourself and make it a chilled one!

@BostonFern good stuff glad to hear it!
