Hello ladies

Hope everyone has had a good Monday, this is the first I’ve managed on today with the site being down earlier!

@whatsthecraic91 Sorry to hear it was a BFN but as the other ladies say you aren’t out until AF, when’s she due?

@MrsH497 I hear ya hun! Can’t believe we are into August already and no further forward on this journey. The waiting after a MC is just the worst!

I’m super snoozy tonight so very glad to be home and have dinner on 🙂

@lozzlepop I thought it was my internet being rubbish, now I know why!

So didn't managed to DTD last night thanks to a delightful stomach bug. Instead I spent the evening on the toilet. Ugh. Oh well, I'm a huge believer in fate and if it's meant to be it will be. Still sucks though!

Hope everyone is well. Welcome to the new ladies :)

@Lozzlepop she was due Saturday/Sunday past! Don’t know what’s going on!!

@Lozzlepop I know think it's the fact I've realised it's 9 months since we got married and we've been trying since then. Obviously got pregnant after 6 months but nothing since May when I had the MC not even a hint of being pregnant!!

@Lemonysherbet I think it was down for a good portion of the day! Oh no what a shame, are you feeling better today?

@whatsthecraic91 any chance you ovulated later than you though so might be a few days away from AF?

@lozzlepop yeh I did try come on a few times and gave up in the end! Yeh a bit better thanks. Think it's too late now I must have ovulated dammit.

@MrsH497 I feel you, woke up grumpy as hell today and as awful as it sounds I'm sick to the back teeth of hearing about babies and pregnancies and supplements and acupuncture and testing!! Aaaggghhj! Just having one of those days and I hope I wake tomorrow and feel back to my normal self.
Been almost a year of trying with 1 chemical pregnancy and nada, just feel like isolating myself on an island where I can forget about pregnancy and conception for a bit 😤

Just realised that my post is really ranty and grumpy and I'm so sorry if I offended anyone 🤭 just having a reeaaaallllly bad day

Hi ladies! So glad Monday is over. Only just managed to get on MN, was constantly down for me!

@MrsH497 I'm sorry you're having a low day. I had those feelings on Friday when talking to my friends about it all - finally getting a bfp then having a MC and now I'm worried I either won't get another bfp or will keep mc if I do.

@Lozzlepop hope you've been okay, been thinking of you! Hope dinner was enjoyable.

@whatsthecraic91 sorry to hear about the BFN. Could you have ovulated late, maybe? Fingers crossed AF doesn't show 🤞🏽

@Lemonysherbet oh no sorry to hear about your stomach bug! I hope you're feeling better today. Fingers crossed you still manage to catch ovulation!

4dpo today, have felt so irritable and moody all day! Big temp drop yesterday and it only rose by 0.02 today. I know it's too early to mean anything but not feeling positive about this cycle. I just want it to be next week so I know and then move on to a new cycle!
I clearly need a good nights sleep - hope you all have a good night!

@Kiza - x posted - I think it must be one of those Mondays! I think we all need a good nights sleep and a break from hearing about all things TTC/pregnancy related.
I'm sorry it's been such a stressful journey. I hope a good nights sleep helps, I definitely need one!! ❤️

@LokiCat maybe it's something in the water or a full moon too! Hope you feel better tomorrow too x

@Lozzlepop @LokiCat, suppose it is possible I ovulated late as I gave up on the OPKs CD21 as I didn’t get a positive or even a line! I don’t even feel like AF is coming so 🤞🏼

@LokiCat we must be cycle twins I'm about 5dpo I think. My mum weirdly feels optimistic this month compared to my pessimism!

@Kiza don't worry about sounding off it's what we are all here for! An island sounds great away from the questions of when we are going to start a family or the "least you know you can get pregnant" hibernating away seems like a brilliant option!

We've got a long weekend off in September and we were going to have a sunny break just Majorca or something but both want to wait and see if I get pregnant first as I can't face flying in early pregnancy again I logically know it probably didn't cause my MC but I can't put myself through that again.

Let's hope we all feel more positive tomorrow 😘

Constipated to high heavens today. No idea what my body's doing, I've had 0 symptoms this cycle until the last couple days but there a mix of my normal PMS and the opposite 🙄🙄

@LokiCat I am 4DPO too! I’m doing ok thanks have the usual good days and bad days! I’m the same, just want AF to come so we can get things back on track! Sitting watching 24 hours in police custody and then it’s bed for me!

@whatsthecraic91 that does sound positive! 🤞🏽

@MrsH497 yay we can try and keep each other sane (if that's possible during TWW!). Hopefully your mums feelings are right 

@Lozzlepop I'm glad you're okay, understandable to have some off days. I hope AF shows up soon!
Ahh I love 24 hours in police custody, although DH just sits there critiquing everything they're doing (downside of being married to a 👮🏽‍♂️- he always complains that cop shows are doing it wrong 🙄)! Has the new season started again?

@flossy12 hopefully that's a good sign. What dpo are you?

@LokiCat I'm 10dpo today according to my apps and a positive OPK

Had a few symptoms last cycle but no luck, I'm was going to test on the 8th although I'm due AF on the 7th

Ibuprofen and other painkillers are we meant to avoid them TTC? And during the tww? My neck has gone into spasm and I'm hurting paracetamol hasn't touched it am I ok to take something stronger?

@MrsH497 a weekend break sounds fab, I think you're ok with paracetamol but not ibuprofen? Could you try a heat pack instead?

@flossy12 Prune juice? 😆 I hate the juice but can happily snack on prunes...

@Sunshine8888 thank you! We need to book the final few bits 🤞

@Macbless that's interesting. I have read it can vary month to month.

So no more spotting and yesterday my cervix had dropped, was really soft and I could feel a dip which I assume means it's open and for the 1st time I head definite EWCM! So pretty sure I am extremely fertile atm but my temperature is still all over the place despite the fact I've been tempting at the same time everyday for the past 7 days.

Morning 😊

Sorry to hear a few of you had a bad day, hopefully today you feel a little better. Nothing worse than a Monday!

@whatsthecraic91 sorry for the BFN,
Your not out til af tho 🤞🏻

@MrsH497 yeh I was told not to take ibuprofen by someone on here, as @Kiza said heat packs usually do a good job of helping

@MIW01 never managed to check my cervix successfully, so interesting tho! Might try next cycle. All sounds good tho, so get dtd 😂 your temperatures are maybe a bit all over with the weather? I keep finding it really close and hot at night so opening my window more etc and wondered if that's also affecting my temps? I had a dip below cover line yesterday at 4dpo which I found odd too!
