I'm sure I've forgotten some. I'll tag more!

Ahh sorry to the ladies that got AF/ BFN yesterday xx
@MrsChicken89 @that90sgirl welcome, I think you definitely need some support
@Imjustme2019I'm sorry you're having a bad day. Remember it's okay to not feel okay, give yourself a break and don't put yourself down any more for feeling that way. You are definitely taking the right steps there will always be setbacks xxx

@ELW85 its not actually been as bad as I thought here......yet! Hahah yes the furry overlord was displeased with our absence and meowed for a solid hour upon our return 😂DP is at home with him today so hopefully he will be back to his normal self soon!

@Lottiepink what did you try different? Maybe hold out another few days and try a FRER?

@ELW85 Really hope the appointment comes through soon!

@Bettythecat Thank you, you are so lovely. How are you feeling?

@LokiCat A mean girls event sounds SO GOOD! Me and my friends are booked on for a Hairspray movie singalong later this year!

@MrsChicken89 It is frustrating - I’m on my own gym kick at the moment and trying to keep as healthy as I can while staying sane :) I’ve found it’s actually helped mentally, I still have some really awful days but it’s pulled me out of some funks.

@that90sgirl 58 days! You poor thing, I’d definitely see a doctor to check it all out.

@Imjustme2019 So sorry to hear you’re having a horrible time of it. Could you try and talk to DP and try and clear the air a bit later?

@Lozzlepop Holiday weight is just how you know you had a great time haha! See it as a souvenir! I’m so the same when we go away, go fully YOLO and then cry when I get back home haha! Hope work is okay today :)

@Lottiepink how odd, but great your LP has extended - will keep my FX for you, you never know! My temps are alllll over the place this month. Just ignoring them really as I’m still only a few weeks post-MC but it looks like a bloody mountain range!!

I am definitely Not Well. Felt a bit clammy last night but otherwise alright, even woke up okay but tired, but right now I feel rotten. I know DH has something planned for us for Saturday too so hoping like mad that it’s something or nothing!! I thought all these damn supplements would be keeping the lurgy at bay!!

Welcome new ladies!!

Bless DH he texted asking whether having 2 yolks in one egg was a sign?! He's hoping as much as I am!

Hope everyone has a good day x

@Lozzlepop I've never done a frer in my whole year of ttc 😱 if af doesn't arrive I will get one maybe tomorrow/Saturday. But I kinda feel like there's no point as af will come. still a bit crampy on and off. Are ic's usually sensitive? I know it says there sensitive, but just not sure.

I was religious with my pregnacare, took extra vitamin c and ate pineapple core for 5 days before and including ov day, and then 3 Brazil nuts a day, for every day after ov (still eating them)

@MrsEG thank you, I know I'm really please if anything that it's got longer, even if af does come it's something ha! Aww I know it's still early days. Good your still taking them though, as at least you will see when they regulate?

@MrsEG thing is also with your temp, with not being well that will affect them too. Hope you feel better soon. I know you would think with all the vitamins you wouldn't catch anything!

Thanks @MrsEG and sorry to hear you’re not well - maybe the Saturday surprise can be a day in bed picnic?!

The strangest thing has just happened - the doctors surgery just called and asked me to book in for bloods with the nurse. Apparently, they want to do a baseline and a progesterone test - at least it’s a start!!
No idea why the change of heart, but that’s great news!!

@ELW85 that is great news. Maybe GP had their conscience pricked after you left.

@Lottiepink Yeah, I just really wanted to get some data back in to my Ava but they definitely suggest I’m unwell with my temp and HR spiking and dropping all over the place!

@ELW85 That would be a dream haha! Especially with this rubbish weather! Ah what good news from your GP!! Like you say at least it’s something!

@MrsH497 Oh bless your DH that’s so cute.

@starkid @Lozzlepop @Lottiepink @MrsEG thanks! They're turning the venue into a North Shore High school set, then have photo ops, food and drink from the movie and then a screening of the film on a big screen. I love Mean Girls (seen it way too many times) so jumped at the chance!

@that90sgirl oh 58 days is a long cycle! How long were they previously? I think an appointment is best to discuss and get some answers.

@Imjustme2019 I'm sorry things are difficult and your anxiety has been set off. I'm glad you are able to reach out to services. I hope things get better with your DP. TTC can get very stressful and sometimes puts pressure on relationships.

@Lozzlepop hope your first day back was okay! Haha the furry ones do seem to run things don't they. Ours jumped on my at the crack of dawn this morning demanding food!

@MrsEG Hairspray singalong sounds brilliant! I love stuff like that. I just saw that they're going to be releasing tickets for Harry Potter with a live orchestra, which sounds right up my street!
Ah sorry you've come down with something. I hope you're better enough to celebrate on Saturday!

@MrsH497 ah bless your DH. It's a nice feeling to see they're just as involved!

@ELW85 that's great! Maybe there was some realisation after you left that you weren't asking for any extensive tests right now. Hopefully the start of some answers!

Geez, what a fail with the tagging. Sorry all!

@orangeloo - honestly, who knows :) I’m just so, so glad that I’ll at least get a test to address my progesterone concerns!
It just so happens that today is 7 days to AF, so the nurses are getting me in today to catch this cycle! Yay!

Also, think AF is coming back With my two past MCs it took 5 weeks; it will only be 4 weeks on Saturday since this one but today I’m having cramps and a little tiny spotting. So pleased I seem to have had a totally normal cycle! Onwards and upwards :)

@ELW85 that's amazing news xx

Either AF has arrived or it’s implantation bleeding. How do I know which?

I’m 7dpo and it was very brown.

@XjustagirlX you won't know until AF does or doesn't turn up or do a test. I always get very brown spotting for a few days before AF turns up. Hang in there for a few more days.

@XjustagirlX To be honest, it could be a few things. You can sometimes get-mid cycle spotting, it can be an early AF sign (I have it myself). Implantation bleeding is another but I personally have no experience of that. 7DPO would be much too early to know if you were pregnant so try and hold out until around 11DPO if you are planning to take a test. Fingers crossed x

@MrsH497 how are you doing lovely?

@MrsEG Yup thats pretty much it, chunky and content at the mo haha! Stuffed myself with a carbonara last night and have zero regrets lol!

@Lottiepink In all honestly i'm not sure, I got my BFP (faint but not a squinter) on an IC at 11DPO then done a FRER the next day and again 4 days on! That sounds like you have done a lot, I would deffo forget half of that 😂

@LokiCat that sounds amazing! What a fun way to spend an evening! First day back hasn't been too bad so far, remembered that I have a garden party to attend tomorrow but this weather is making it looking it like it might be a washout! Usually he's ok but think he must have thought I was abandoning him again!

@MrsEG woooohoooo thats fab news! I was 5 weeks and 3 days and she was a cruel bitch but as you say onwards and upwards!

CD10 today so might start OPKs tonight/ tomorrow as I am guessing OV will be next week sometime! 🤞🏻

@Lozzlepop I know I’m so pleased, had a hunch as had some CM this week but didn’t want to get my hopes up! Feels so weird to actually be excited about AF arriving!! Ooh good luck - must feel so nice to be able to think about trying again, finally put it all behind you x

Thanks @starkid - I’m so happy! A happy little pin cushion, haha! Xx

@MrsEG - great news, and onwards and upwards indeed!

@MrsEG now my laptop is having a meltdown so lost my message! Yes i know what you mean about being happy about her arrival, not what we are usually hoping for! It is but at the same time I am very apprehensive about something going wrong again, but determined to plod along with TTC again!

@Lozzlepop You’ll be fine - I think you have to just keep positive and remember the odds are massively in your favour of everything being fine. It’s a different sperm and a different egg, I think you just have to be hopeful and optimistic - lord knows we don’t need anymore reasons to be anxious!! Good luck :)

I am falling asleep at my desk; have a gym class booked at 6 but I already feel like bed is calling!

Thank you, all you amazing women! I'll still be posting my imaginary (hopefully real) squinters in about 22 days!

Thanks for all the welcomes
Think I will book a GP appointment soon to see what they say. Was also considering acupuncture to shorten my cycle. The ladies which are having this, do you know if I need to start it at a particular stage in my cycle or whenever?

Hey @Lozzlepop good days and bad days. New job is good so far, seem to be very aware of it being 4 weeks tomorrow since we lost nugget and getting myself tearful. Always seems to be some sort of reminder at the moment. Still feel empty. Still no AF yet.

Been invited to a baby shower next month really don't know how I feel about that 😐

How are you doing? Xx
