End of November, jump on board pt 2!

[Skygirl1983]

Ladies from the other thread, we have reached 1000! We need to start a new one!

@Maisy24 my readings were ridiculously high and I previously tracked periods on another app before TTC which predicts AF at the end of the week rather than today. I have had on off cramps since Friday though and some back ache which are usual AF signs but early.

WHY IS EVERYTHING SO CONFUSING 🙄🙄🙄

@Maisy24 not much going on this morning. I'm a day behind you. Boobs are starting to feel a little tender but that usually happens a week or so before AF. Got to hold off until Friday to do a hpt. Will keep an eye on the opk tests too to see what they do. Even if it means it's not picking up pg its interesting to know if LH rises again before AF. Another thing to monitor!!

Hope everyone is good.

Hows Barcelona @mellymoo86

How are you feeling @Louu99

@CiaraJ01 wow very confusing! Have you tried the clear blue opks? This was my first month trying them and I loved them, I also temped at all looked in line with eachother as my temp risen the day after ovulation, maybe try them next cycle if this one isn't a BFP.

@Skygirl1983 I might do a cheapie opk myself later tonight just to see what it does 🤣 I'm testing Friday at 11dpo before I go away. I've also had stomach cramps already and back ache. I don't usually get cramps this early but I'm sure thinking about it brings them on!

BFN for me this morning at 10 dpo. Trying not to be disappointed as this is the day I got my first BFP. That test was in the evening tho so I'll obviously test again tonight.....

@Maisy24 @Skygirl1983 Barcelona is going well. My trade-show starts today so got a few work things I need to get done. But I'll be meeting my friend for lunch and dinner which is nice 😊I'm 8dpo today, back on Thursday and will be 10dpo then. I honestly feel nothing and think this is not the month, I'll do a test once I'm back.

A little update, was just having a shower and checking my cervix, when I took my finger out there was very little brown discharge on it. I put it in the check again and the same came out. Normally I see some spotting around a day before my period which should be Saturday. I don't know if this is normal a few days before as it's the first time I'm checking my cervix but I'll monitor and see how it goes. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@mellymoo86 could be implantation!!! Xx 🤞🤞🤞

@mellymoo86 interesting. I dont know anything about cervix checking so intrigued to see if it comes to anything. How does your actual cervix feel? Does it feel soft or hard??
I have had some twinges in my sides but I think that seems to be more of a regular occurrence now throughout my cycle so not going to jump on that one either!

I'm supposed to be going to the gym tonight but I have zero motivation to go. I might go and do something easy.

@Skygirl1983 I was told to completely stop the gym after ovulation by an acupuncturist and also by a lady on another thread who was told by a fertility clinic for ivf. Or at a very minimum to cut out any heavy impact stuff like running. Just passing this on , as I've stopped the gym after ovulation this time (even though it's hard not to go). I think walking and swimming is ok though!

@Maisy24 I am booked on to a body combat class but might cancel and just go and cycle and do some gentle upper body instead. I'm feeling a bit of low key cramping in my back this morning and side twinges too. Trying my hardest to stay off google. My no symptom spotting rule has gone out of the window completely I think!

I'm afraid I'm going to bring the mood down here today but I'm feeling really miserable and down in the dumps. In fact, I'm still in bed. Can't bring myself to get out and get dressed 😕

@Maisy24 really? I do heavy weights with a PT twice every week 🙈 How long do they say leave it after ovulation??

@Louu99 totally understandable. Chocolate and a Christmas film!! What's happening with your results??

@Louu99 I'd be the same if I was in your shoes. Any news on your results? Are you still bleeding?

@CiaraJ01 @Skygirl1983 still waiting for them to call. Feel like I'm staring at my phone a lot lately 🙈
Still bleeding, but nowhere near as heavy as Sunday. And it goes from pink to fresh blood all the time.

@Maisy24 I didn't know about the working out thing either! I do pretty intense work outs and Olympic lifting 5/6x a week 😕 oops! X

@Louu99 I hope you aren't waiting for much longer.

And that is some serious lifting. But I suppose if your body is used to it you'll be fine to carry on to a point

@Louu99 thinking of you lovely. I wouldn't worry too much about the exercise thing, from everything I've read you're perfectly fine to carry on as usual. I certainly have been! I work out (cardio and weight training) 4/5 times a week. I think the problems start if you didn't exercise before and suddenly start exercising! X

@Louu99 are you an Olympian??

@Skygirl1983 haha definitely not, no! I just find it therapeutic to lift heavy stuff, except when it's too heavy and I get frustrated 😂 it's amazing what bodies can do though, I've surprised myself so many times! X

@Louu99 I thought we had a star in our midst then! Lol. I used to see a PT until recently on the run up to my wedding and could leg press a ridiculous amount considering my short legs! My hubby says I have rugby player legs. They are definitely not made for skirts anyway!!

@Skygirl1983 they probably are definitely made for skirts! I love looking strong and muscular. I'm always the one to move things around the house and do all the heavy lifting, it's empowering! X

Hi Ladies

Mind if I jump on board?

CD23 - 2 DPO

I usually ovulate CD16 but seemed to be really late this month! Usual cycle is 28- 30 days but I’m thinking it would probably put my cycle a little longer if I ovulated so late.

The 2WW is torture and I need someone to help me with the symptom spotting - OH always says just be patient and see what happens 🙄

How long have you all been TTC?

@Bella330 patience is key! Coming from someone who wasn't very patient at all 😂

I suppose it's good to know what your body is doing and how different it feels at various times, but try not to get too carried away with it all, it makes it so much worse!

This is my first cycle and I had positive hcg bloods but now I'm bleeding quite heavily on and off so currently waiting to see if I'm still pregnant. If I'm not, next time I'll definitely just try and forget about it until my period is late, then test!

Good luck with everything 😘

Lou fingers crossed everything is okay and the little bean sticks.

Patience is definitely the key however mine is not existent at the minute. My OH thinks I’m crazy how I symptom spot everything, he’s just as bad feeling my boobs every morning as that’s usually the first sign for me.

Last month I was convinced it was my month... nipples were darker, randomly erect nipples too 🙈 and they were huge! AF showed up on time though.

@Skygirl1983 my cervix feels higher and firmish. Having watery/ cloudy cm, but have this wet feeling all the times but nothing in my underwear. No more brown discharge. It may just be the start of my AF and will be in full swing in a few days. Who knows!

@bella330 welcome!! I'm 13 dpo today with a BFN this morning but ok AF as yet. Cycle 2 TTC #1.

@Louu99 I love it!! I've always been quite strong but wasnt till I started with the PT and he really pushed me. I joined to lose weight but now I'm more interested in getting stronger. I find it soooo frustrating if I cant shift something that I've either done before or beaten my own PB 😂😂 I also love the looks on peoples faces when you can lift more than them 😂😂
