@georgiarclark11 Hey girl, glad to have you here! That must be so stressful for you, keep us posted as to how you're getting on 💜

@MrsSkr Ah no, hope you don't have another bug! Remind me, is this your second cycle off the pill?

@luxoire I had so much cramping mid cycle this time too. I think my body is still adjusting to coming off the pill. Could be implantation though possibly?

MrsSkr · 13/10/2019 13:29

@PieAndPumpkins I think I'm ok on the bug front lol nausea is gone today and AF is in full swing. Yeh this was my second cycle since having my coil removed, although we didnt really 'try' the first one. I was considering if this month wasn't successful maybe holding off a few months too, I just havnt been feeling myself and my anxiety has been quite bad the last couple of weeks. But looking at dates I think I'd need to try this month or hold off until next year now. We dont want another winter baby as we have soooooo much going on from Oct onwards already. I have really long cycles evidently so doesnt give us many chances. My next fertile window isnt until first week in Nov now so have a wee while to think about it and decide xxx

Kiki275 · 13/10/2019 14:38

Afternoon all, checking in. My cycles are all over the place. AF should have been due around yesterday/today but no sign yet. I've completely stopped BF this week though so that might have something to do with it. I don't feel pregnant, with DS I just knew before I tested. Will give it a few more days then maybe test x

Sorry for the duplicate post!
@dancingqueen03 I'm using Flo too and it's not predicted anything right so far 🤔 x

georgiexo · 13/10/2019 20:12

Thank you @PieAndPumpkins xxx

Luxoire · 13/10/2019 20:48

@MrsSkr i have been so cranky today..OMG.. I hardly slept last might then DH decided to annoy me...something I'd ptobbly let go under normal circumstances a lot sooner...but I am in yhe mood to hold a grudge 😆 I am juat terrible ...ao laxk of sleep plus holding a grudge plus runny nose has put me in a foul mood...i am keeping to myself incase I say the wrong thing to the person here.. 😆...i think i ovulated Monday / Tuesday both Ovia and Flo havr my next period due a week Tuesday so that makes me 6dpo? I am trying to hold out till 6 days before next perios which will take me to weds? Isn't that how warly FRER says u can test from?!

@PieAndPumpkins I dont even know what is going on in there...had some cramping today nothing as bad as yestwrsay though but i am in a foul mood Hahahah

Just looking at dates and i am praying i conceive this month or next as my end of november fertilw wondow DH is away woth work...so instead of 2 more cycles i thought i had to TTC ..i onky have thia lne and the next...for that aimmer baby!

Other than that I don't FEEL pregnant..i felt it with my first.. I mean the heightened smell and sickness was a dead giveaway. Didn't have a clue with my second...my first tri was perfect but everything i missed out on in thr first tri came in the second tri plus and then some more...lol

Apart from excess gas/bloating!!! I feel ok so far no pregnancy signs (none I am used to) I havr read gas can be a sign of pregnancy..but never has been for me

Would anyone test 7dpo tomorrow or is it too early?

Had ewcm on Friday dtd in Friday, Saturday and Sunday (but dh didnt finish on Saturday) did ovalation tests they were all negative or so I thought did this one this morning and negative. Saw yesterdays in the bin and it looks positive but didnt look positive when I took it yesterday. I am hoping I have covered myself. However the symptoms i had last month i have had nothing like that this month but not sure if it is because I have been more relaxed. X

Kiki275 · 14/10/2019 15:13

AF hasn't arrived, PoaS this morning and it was negative. I'm more annoyed it's late as I'll have to rearrange my smear this week now if it eventually decides to show up x

Luxoire · 14/10/2019 16:30

@Zm2019 it maybe because you are more relaxed! so are you in your 2WW now?

@Kiki275 ohh girl do you feel her coming though or could you still be in with a chance of a BFP?

I am getting really antsy having to wait until weds/thursday for a test! How do you all keep distracted? I am 7dpo today

Luxoire · 14/10/2019 16:33

PS my cold and cough are full on now, and all i want is a whisky-coffee to soothe my chest but i am too darn scared

Also really scared to take any meds etc...in case i might be pregnant so sat here sipping on ginger and lemon and wondering if anyone has any 'safe' remedies to try?

dancingqueen03 · 14/10/2019 16:51

Hey group, weekly input haha 😂

@Kiki275 it's so weird it the app not predicting anything right? Mines been stop I'm up to now, says I should have come on Saturday but that would have been 24 day cycle so if i go to 28 that will be tomorrow 🤞 I'm kinda writing this month off for a BFP as it's been all over the place.

Congratulations @Robs20 twins is amazing ❤️ there's twins on both side of our family's, my mums a twin so secretly hope for twins here haha 😂 must be mad lol

How is everyone else?@Luxoire how you holding up are you due to test this week?

Iv just got back from a weekend away it was lovely kinda glad my af didn't arrive as predicted as I could enjoy it more, feeling emotionally today don't know if it's cause af could arrive tomorrow or the thought of back to work tomorrow either way I feel like hiding in bed with chocolate 🍫 🙈😂

PieAndPumpkins · 14/10/2019 17:10

@MrsSkr aww chick, you've got to look after you. I often think an 'accident' would take so much pressure off all the choices and decision making. Like, 'oh surprise, you're 12 weeks pregnant!' I'm always baffled how people don't know though!

@kiki275 exactly the same thing happened to me. I actually asked the hv today, and she said they advise 3-6 months after stopping can be normal...though some people it's no time at all.

@luxoire oooh nooo! Hot lemon squash and honey is good, you could try pouribg a kettle full of water in the bathroom sink, put a towel over your head and inhale. (don't burn yourself!!) Feel better!

Zm2019 · 14/10/2019 17:36

@Luxoire just had to check and yea tww starts tomorrow. Wow time has gone quick, let's see if I can still be relaxed but think I may have been too relaxed Haha time will tell x

Kiki275 · 14/10/2019 18:00

@Luxoire at this stage paracetamol definitely won't hurt. I'd go honey, lemon & brandy before bed to help you sleep. Boiling water should kill off any bacterial risk from honey and a small tot of alcohol dependant on your preference x

Kiki275 · 14/10/2019 18:02

@dancingqueen03 it would have been even shorter cycle for me if I'd put in any discharge info etc. Think I ovulated at approx. correct time. Today puts me at 28 days. I was 29 regular before DS, 26 on my last cycle x

Luxoire · 14/10/2019 20:15

Thanks ladies kids are slreping now havr taken paracetamol and will make the hot drink as suggested...

Just realised i have loada on internet cheapie pregnancy tests...i will start doing then from tomorrow...i am not expecting a positive abytime soon but it would help me while away the days and stop me from buying and expensive digi test till I can see a line? AF is due next Tuesday so let's see how it goes x

dancingqueen03 · 15/10/2019 07:38

Morning 😊

@Kiki275 it's so strange these apps haha think you get you ur head round it then go haha 😂 Iv been 28 days since the pill, so hopefully today I could see the witch arrive, Iv got a bit of cramps this morning so guessing that's the sign

@Luxoire, hope your feeling better today 😊 I had the cold at beginning of the month and by god I thought I was dieing 😫 I was the same at the time in my tww so relied on hot water, honey and lemon found it worked well I also sucked on boiled sweets to stop my throat from hurting

Kiki275 · 15/10/2019 09:24

How are you today @Luxoire ?x

Luxoire · 15/10/2019 10:41

@dancingqueen03 thanks babe usually i have Sudafed and it is gone in 24/48hrs but this time it is just lingering and it is too to POAS so i am just following your advice and oing hot lemon ginger and honey drinks to help

@Kiki275 a bit better but i am still feeling sorry for myself - i didnt even hear my alarm go this morning so overslept and was rushing around like a crazy woman with the kids this morning!

This is the slowest 2WW EVER time seems to be going snail pace - lol even though i am sure it is same 24hrs as usual per day

I did do an IC this morning and it was negative but I know it way too early - AK due next Tuesday! so far no symptoms just a lot of gas!

dancingqueen03 · 15/10/2019 13:11

Aww @Luxoire hope you get better soon, try get some rest while the kids are at school might help x

Kiki275 · 15/10/2019 14:19

Still no sign of AF which wouldn't ordinarily bother me, only on 29 days currently. TMI but been to loo and when I wiped there appeared to be a bit of spotting but brown as if old blood. Not a clue what this means. Think I'm looking too much into it x

dancingqueen03 · 15/10/2019 20:43

@Kiki275 When my af started last month I had abit if brown blood first it then went normal as the first day went on so I wouldn't worry about it

But how strange my af hasn't arrive yet either, I'm getting all the other symptoms of cramps, emotionally feelings, sore boobs it's so weird 🤔 I'm kinda hoping af arrives before I go to bed, I feel okay now tho it's so strange

wannabemum38 · 15/10/2019 20:49

@Luxoire
Hey how did the hernia op go on Monday
Hope your feeling better with your cold
9dpo for me and dying to take a PG test. Have got no symptoms but have not had my usual back aches and achey boobs I usually get a week before my AF is due either. Trying not to get hopes up but would so love a BFP on Saturday.

HappyGirl86 · 15/10/2019 21:02

Ladies!! How are you all? I've missed so much.
I've been feeling sooooooooo rubbish (still am really) and not even been able to concentrate on anything never mind getting on to mumsnet and then the last few days I couldn't seem to find this thread.

Sorry I've been gone, hope you are all ok. I'd love an update on how you are all doing!
