Anyone fancy a little obsessing? 😂
I'm apparently ovulating today according to peak clearblue yesterday and my apps.
I never used to have such a long luteal phase as it was only 10 days so having to wait for 14 is going to drive me nuts 🙈

Morning ladies, how are we all? AF arrived for me in the night and I'm not going to lie, I'm gutted. I was very shocked after no CM all day and started getting one sided cramps and bam, red blood 😞 sure I will be fine later with wine and choc!

@Lauraliverpool oh yes, and now I know! I did sleep though, woke at about 2am in pain and needed to take more pain killers but then got back to sleep. It's odd though, I've actually had cramps this time. This AF is nothing like my usual ones. Cramps and started in the evening. Weird for me! But hey ho!
How are you??

@gigi32 oh babe fantastic news!!! Hurrah! I am so happy for you!!! How are you feeling??

@Mummy2Babba welcome! 9DPO woohoo! Not long to wait now chick! How are you feeling in yourself?? Sounds like the timing is all right. Fingers crossed for you!!

@Treaclepie19 woohoo you're at the exciting time again now babe. Hope I'm there again with you soon enough. It feels like it takes an age doesn't it 😂🙈

Treaclepie19 · 23/10/2019 07:23

Oh @Gigi318 I'm sorry :( I was so rooting for you!
Well onwards to next month and we can be in the wait together ❤

Sorry to hear the witch has arrived Gigi! I pray next month will be your month ! Try and think positive and don’t get to disheartened , you are now officially in your next cycle so relax as much as possible until af disappears and you can start the dance!

I’m okay I’m just finished nightshift so feeling really tired , and a bit sick but not sure if that’s due to the large can of red bull I have just had to drive home 😧! Really pray I have good news this month , why do we do this to ourselfs 🤢 xx

Gigi318 · 23/10/2019 07:33

@Treaclepie19 I was too chick. But now I'm just a bit concerned about why I had spotting from 9DPO! Slightly worrisome. And this cramping on one side is new. Onto cycle 3 we go! Luckily I only have to go 6 cycles and I can speak to the doctors thanks to Endo. I may even go before because I haven't had the laparoscopy yet. I wanted to see if I could conceive naturally before having surgery and any risk of scaring. So we will see. How are you today? Xx

Treaclepie19 · 23/10/2019 07:59

@Gigi318 fingers crossed you'll conceive before then 🤞
I'm concerned too because my luteal phase was like 8 days :( Still, I'm tracking it all properly this month so maybe my bbt will tell me a different story.

I'm a bit bleh this morning. The house we liked is probably off the table and I have to make do with our current house and renovating it so I feel a bit overwhelmed. Still, that won't get me anywhere!

Just got to keep working at things and hope for the best.
My sore throat is so much better than yesterday and I have a friends 30th party on Saturday 😊

@Gigi318 I'm sorry for af. I know I don't know you but I thought of you when I got my bfp today and was like ooo I hope you get yours! It sucks. I'm sending you good vibes!

Gigi318 · 23/10/2019 08:45

@Treaclepie19 thank you chick. I think I just need to let go of the stress and fears and worry and get back to being me. Shake it all off and be happy and excited about life again. I think I've let it drag me down a little. All of the obsessing!
Yes hopefully babe. I hope that my spotting didn't mean my LP was also 8 days. That was new to me! So we shall see. Let's focus on being positive together and turning it all around!
It definitely seems like we both need a good dose of positivity this morning. This down life is not fun!! We've GOT to keep going. We can do this 💖💖💖

@gigi32 thank you babe. It feels like we do all know eachother though doesn't it! I will get there, don't you worry xx

Treaclepie19 · 23/10/2019 09:22

@Gigi318 definitely. It's so easy to start to feel down when ttc.
I'm hopping on that positive train with you 💖

@Treaclepie19 thanks babe. We can do it 💖💖

TigerJoy · 23/10/2019 10:15

@gigi32 many congratulations!!!! That's brilliant🥳

@gigi318 I'm sorry about af 😞 onwards and upwards for next month

I'm interested to hear how often you dtd. I really don't think me and dh do it enough but he has a lower sex drive than me generally, is super stressed at work at the mo AND works shifts. I really think this month was the best with 3 times in the fertile window plus one right on the day of my peak. I will just be so depressed if this doesn't work but am trying to tell myself you might need to do everything right every months for months!

Did another test this morning - not a whisper of a line. Boobs hurting, got cramps - think af will be here in a couple of days. Fingers crossed for next month 🤞

Gigi318 · 23/10/2019 11:02

@TigerJoy thanks chick. It's definitely interesting isn't it! Shame that the AF and PG symptoms seem to be the same! But like you say, positivity for next month. And if AF isn't here, you're still in the game babe!! Xx

Lauraliverpool · 23/10/2019 13:52

@Gigi318 sorry af arrived, I had everything crossed she wouldn't for you. Strange timing for it to start but can't control mother nature (heard that from someone) I'm doing ok just received an order of little bits so going to open the box and have a look at them 😍 have made a start on creating a Facebook page for what I'm making need some creative flair from my hubby to design a photo. Going to try and be positive for the next cycle and jump on hubby more haha 😂 whether he likes it or not 😂 hope you're ok Hun? Big hugs to you. Xx

bellebox19 · 23/10/2019 14:26

@Gigi318 thanks for the welcome . AF due on the 28th(ish).

I'm pretty much just convinced AF will come. Until then of course I will still silently question every twinge!

Sorry to hear AF showed for you xx

bellebox19 · 23/10/2019 14:28

@gigi32 congratulations 🥳

It would be lovely If we all managed a BFP for Christmas, would be the best gift.

I'm 8DPO and I felt like I had loads of promising symptoms but now I just feel meh!

Gigi318 · 23/10/2019 18:26

@Lauraliverpool oh goodness tell me about it. I'm such a control freak but this is showing me that constantly obsessing just effs it all up! As my last 3 AFs have all started at different times because I've been thinking about it! Typical!
Oh babe have you!!!! I am so pleased for you. You!!! That sounds so good. Is he in graphic design? Perfect! I've also done a little more work on a project I'm planning at the moment and that's made me really excited too. Go us!!
Oh absolutely. I agree. It's all we can do. Rather annoyingly. I always feel in the mood for DTD during AF but wouldn't do it (just my preference nothing against anyone who does - OH wouldn't either luckily) so hopefully this month can be a fun one! I'm feeling good, because wine 🤣🍷

@bellebox19 thank you babe. That's so kind. Try to keep the hope up. Not too much longer to wait now. Lots of ladies get the BFP when they feel like they won't 🙌🏻

Lauraliverpool · 23/10/2019 19:19

Yep @Gigi318 I've not got a clue where to start but have decided to change the name of my page on Facebook cause (this will make you laugh) I named it rainbow Kisses and was looking for a picture, it also came up with the meaning, basically it means when a woman is on her af the fella will give her oral sex and keep the blood in his mouth then the girl will give the fella oral sex and keep his fluid in her mouth then they kiss and exchange the fluids so anyway I can't keep that name!! 😬 So changed it!!.
He's a 3d senior artist for Stanley bet and he's really good at designing things so hopefully will come up with something for me. I'm trying to work out how much to ask for each item I make don't know where to start, really want to get this right. Ooh what kind of project have you been working on??

I'm not keen on DTD either during af and I don't think hubby would be too. Ooh just go a glass of wine!! 😀 Xx

Gigi318 · 23/10/2019 20:11

@Lauraliverpool oh goodness me 😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈 That. Is. Vile. Hahaha! Good idea to change it now as you'll think of that every time 😂🙈 how exciting for you!
A website. Like an online magazine for women 😬 hopefully people will like it!!!

Treaclepie19 · 23/10/2019 21:27

Oh my gosh @Lauraliverpool 😱😱😱 Yuk!

OP posts:
Lauraliverpool · 24/10/2019 09:14

@Treaclepie isn't it? 😬😬 No way was I keeping that name.

Lauraliverpool · 24/10/2019 09:17

@Gigi318 isn't it? Thought there's no way I can keep that name! 😬😬 Changed it to happy rainbow jewellery. Hubby said he'll help me with a website too so that will be good.

Gigi318 · 24/10/2019 09:32

@Lauraliverpool that's lovely!! How exciting for you. Lots to look forward to and distract you 🙌🏻👏🏻 xx

Lauraliverpool · 24/10/2019 16:08

Here's hoping so @Gigi318 cause I need some distraction! 🙌

Treaclepie19 · 24/10/2019 17:37

Lauraliverpool · 24/10/2019 19:20

Treaclepie19 · 24/10/2019 19:29
