Happy Friday everyone! Delighted to be almost at the weekend Grin

Good luck with your appointment, @orangeloo, and good luck @MrsH497 if you test today!

Day 7 of flashing smiley high for me today - was really hoping for the static smiley peak indicator this morning! Come on, ovulation! I'm on CD16 but in fairness that's about half way through for me, so not really late, all should still be fine🤞 Going to meet one of my dearest friend's newborn tomorrow and very excited about it but of course I know it will make me insanely broody! I'd love to know I was at peak and had DTD so was in with a chance for this month before getting there! That's my plan anyway... Not that I actually get to control it! Hope you all have something nice to enjoy this weekend Smile

MrsH497 · 22/03/2019 11:05

@Fuiseog @orangeloo I don't know I was 5 days late for AF last month so not optimistic

Jessikka · 22/03/2019 11:26

Morning all! ✌🏻

Just sat minding my own business with a cuppa on 3dpo! FF sand Glow have me down as Ov (based on my temp rises) on Tuesday; though I sneakily suspect I'm 2dpo really! Because I'm apparently an expert 🙄😂

How is everyone? I'm patiently waiting to go for an afternoon tea with the SIL, MIL and ....GIL? ... is Grandmother in Law a thing? 🤷🏼‍♀️ im mentally prepping myself for the inevitable baby q's that WILL come as they always do !

Have a nice day! il save you cake!

LikeTheFruit · 22/03/2019 11:45

@Jessikka GIL is totally a thing, mine is an absolute gem! Can't say the same for MIL, who incidentally is visiting this weekend!
Enjoy your afternoon tea

Thanks @PeacockingAbout. Hoping all the babies will kick my ovaries/uterus into gear! 😂

orangeloo · 22/03/2019 12:26

Thank you @PeacockingAbout @starkid @Fuiseog! X

@MrsH497 ah okay that's annoying for you still a chance though FX for you x

PeacockingAbout · 22/03/2019 13:28

@starkid oh lovely, meal out will be fab!

I'm meeting my newborn nephew on Saturday, super excited! Bringing cake and a collapsible prosecco glass to keep in the changing bag for Mum Wink Grin

I'm certainly spotting symptoms! Tender breasts, sore back, headaches, tired and butterflies/slightly nauseous. But I'm also a bit run down and actually tired so I think that is why. I predict (based on last month!) that they will all vanish when I get a BFN tomorrow morning!

@Jessikka love a bit of afternoon tea! Have fun, hope the baby questions aren't too searching!

@Fuiseog good luck, willing your ovaries on! Enjoy the newborn cuddles.

starkid · 22/03/2019 14:01

@PeacockingAbout - Ah, newborn cuddles Smile lucky you!
Yeah, I've got ultra-sore breasts and weirdly aching all over today, which is new. Nothing else though. Yours sound interesting, especially nausea... fx!

OP posts:
LikeTheFruit · 22/03/2019 14:27

So I just popped into Superdrug for a browse. They're selling FRERs box of 2 for £6. Which is cheap. So I bought a box 😂 though went through The till at 10.49 so had to get then to get them to change price.
Not decide if I'll use it or not yet

starkid · 22/03/2019 14:48

What a bargain! Grin

OP posts:
cupcakesandglitter · 22/03/2019 15:00

@LikeTheFruit a very very good bargain!!!

@starkid that was my first pg sign!! When's AF due? Xx

smitch82 · 22/03/2019 15:07

Weird moment this AM and sorry in advance for the TMI!

So we DTD this morning and I started to bleed, it stopped straight away... today was my ovulation day according to Clue.

Anyone had something similar?

starkid · 22/03/2019 15:08

@cupcakesandglitter - the aching all over? Ooh, interesting! I'm due on Monday, am 9dpo today...

OP posts:
cupcakesandglitter · 22/03/2019 15:11

@smitch82 I've not had something similar, but I wouldn't worry - cervix becomes really soft during ov and sometimes it can bleed a little when bumped xx

@starkid yes! Although mine was mostly nipple (which usually are pretty numb 😂) about a week after ov, and it was PAINFUL. Oh and they were super swollen and red, never had that before. Fx for you!!! X

KatBeCool · 22/03/2019 15:22

@PeacockingAbout Clomid and Estradiol symptoms are so much nicer than progesterone. I'm far more relaxed and happy on the first two. Starting progesterone in a few days after the O is confirmed, dreading it.

Hannah192 · 22/03/2019 15:40

@BabyO1988 thank you. They seem to have gone today though 🙄 Oh good, I’m glad that has no effect. I’m keeping everything crossed for you!
Good luck to everyone testing this weekend 🤞🏼🤞🏼 @PeacockingAbout that sounds like good symptoms so will keep everything crossed for you!

granddesigns · 22/03/2019 15:40

Thanks @PeacockingAbout - trying to hold out till af due but just have a semi constant feeling of fullness at the back of throat, acid and nausea. That said I am due af early next week (didn't get a clear confirmation of when ovulated so glow is a bit out this month!) and did a cheapy this morning that was very negative..... suspect we are heading into cycle 5 but trying to stay positive.

thosethreewords · 22/03/2019 15:59

@PeacockingAbout me and DH have a rare weekend off together with no plans to see anyone so we are bolting the doors! Haha. I'm in full nesting mode and DH is indulging me this weekend and we are doing some work on the garden and some odd jobs around the house. And probably practising for FW next week ☺️ FX about your symptoms spotting!

@orangeloo let us know how you get on with your appointment

@Jessikka GIL - love it! Definitely should be a thing! Hope you didn't get grilled too much (but if they're anything like mine, you will have been!!)

@LikeTheFruit that is a bargain! I might get some tomorrow for this cycle.

smitch82 · 22/03/2019 16:55

Thanks @cupcakesandglitter that's reassuring!! Thought I was going crazy and freaked us out 😂

Jessikka · 22/03/2019 19:08

We tried SMEP this cycle as it looked like my cycle FINALLY settled down. I had my first text book cycle so I'm VERY happy about that.

But after 3 nights of being tired but DTD anyway due to the plan I am REALLY looking forward to just going to bed tonight 😂 just let me sleep!

No more temps from today either as I don't want the stress so will just relax for a bit now and enjoy the lie in.

Happy lady!

PeacockingAbout · 22/03/2019 19:30

@starkid very similar symptoms then! My body aches have calmed down today, but my breasts, hips and lower back in particular are very sore. And a cracking headache. But I do have awful posture! Interesting that it's a bona fide symptom though @cupcakesandglitter!

Glad you've got the fun ones for the moment at least @KatBeCool! Hope the progesterone does the business to make up for the side effects.

That is good @LikeTheFruit - meant to stop on my way to the station and totally forgot Hmm

@granddesigns thst doesn't sound fun, hope it is a positive sign! Today is early to test if you're due next week -maybe repeat at the weekend? I'm also due early next week, and feel like I'm heading into Cycle 5 rather than success!

@thosethreewords oh perfect weekend! Enjoy nesting Smile

@Jessikka I know the feeling! Enjoy your sleep!!

ValidUser · 22/03/2019 19:49

Checking in! Now 29, cycle 8/9/10, salpingectomy this week (appendicitis induced hydrosalpinx).

Then HSG plus or minus ivf!

ValidUser · 22/03/2019 19:49

Thanks @starkid!

Fuiseog · 22/03/2019 20:28

Just used the last OPK test strip I have in- still flashing away for high, so no sign of peak yet. Not a bad thing (as long as it happens soon!) as I'm home on my own this evening and way too tired to want to wait up! I would be symptom spotting like crazy in your shoes, @PeacockingAbout and @starkid! Hope they are good signs for you! Hope the wait is quick for you, @ValidUser and that everything is successful

MrsH497 · 22/03/2019 20:39

Bfn I don't get why my cycles are suddenly increasing in length

starkid · 22/03/2019 23:48

@ValidUser - have updated your stats. Good luck next week!!! Xx

I don't know, I'm not hugely confident in my symptoms. The sore heavy breasts are something that always happens for a week before AF. Just the aching rest of me that's an anomaly. Only a couple of days to wait though 😊

My friends were all asking how it was going this evening, which I don't mind as I'm very open about it all... Then a really cute newborn was next to me in the pub we were at, in a little sleeping bag 😍😭
