Hi ladies

Please tag away anyone you think would want to be added...

@bluetue @ceebee21 @dizzy85 @Jonesbabynumber1 @Tbug

And welcome to any newbies that want to join this mad mad world of trying to conceive x

[dizzy85]

@BabyB19 that's a good idea, I might try that tomorrow we decided to just forget it today and we're gonna get a Chinese instead.

[ShiningStarz]

Had a couple of drinks tonight. Came home to find my OH had put up all the Christmas decorations! Sore boobs maybe starting but very slight... tomorrow is cd day 27, 13 DPO. I’ll give it to af due day to test 🤞

[Crazymummyto3]

Done another IC and it's BFN. My FRER have arrived this evening. Is there any point in me doing one in the morning now or should I wait?

[ShiningStarz]

Hi @Crazymummyto3 am I right in saying you are on cd33 today? If it’s a longer cycle for you then maybe give it a couple of days and test again. 🤞

[Crazymummyto3]

@ShiningStarz Yes, day 33 but AF has just arrived ☹️ I've had cycles of 28, 27, 33 and 33 days now so it looks like that's what I'm settling into

[Jonesbabynumber1]

@Crazymummyto3 sorry to hear AF arrived. my cycles are the same and change each month varying from 27-31 days but think that’s normal.

[Quiffy]

@Crazymummyto3 sorry about AF :( fingers crossed for next cycle

[ShiningStarz]

@Crazymummyto3 I’m soo sorry, it’s just crap isn’t it! Hope you have a cosy night with a blanket and hot water bottle planned.

I’m dreading the next few days waiting. Don’t even have my usual af warning sign of sore boobs.🤔 no clue what my
Body is doing!!!

[dizzy85]

@Crazymummyto3 sorry to hear af arrived x

[ShiningStarz]

Hi does anyone get sore boobs and other pms symptoms 5-7 days before AF shows?
This cycle I feel totally fine and I’m due in 2 days! Iv read that I may not have ovulated and therefore there’s no progesterone so no pms symptoms... make sense to anyone?

[Quiffy]

@shiningstarz the only AF symptom I usually get is a bad urge to murder about a week before. I’ve only had sore boobs once and that was with this this month’s ovulation. Do you usually get symptoms before? Maybe you ovulated late so AF (or not hopefully) could be later this month?

[ShiningStarz]

@quiffy I’ll count myself lucky with the sore boobs then!! That sounds horrendous!!

Yep without fail at least 5 days before I’d have sore boobs, they would usually feel heavy and bigger. I’d be bloated too.

It’s possible Iv ovulated later, have had a pretty good 27-28 day cycle for good few months tho 🤔


When I was pregnant and miscarried I had sore boobs for nearly 2 weeks, that’s when I thought I should test! Got bfp but then af showed up!!

[Quiffy]

@ShiningStarz tbf it’s only really DH that suffers with my murder mood hehe but he thinks it’s funny.

I’ve seen lots of people get their BFP when they had no symptoms at all. So fingers crossed for that !

[Jonesbabynumber1]

@BabyB19 What was your AF like I started Friday afternoon by Saturday afternoon stopped nothing yesterday and now It’s back. Do I still count yesterday and today as period? No idea what’s going on!

[BabyB19]

No idea @Jonesbabynumber1 it's so confusing, I had one day spotting and then like 4 days later it started again but although much much lighter it was more like a period than the week before so I counted from the second lot. Was yours just a smidge at first or would you think it was a period? It's so hard to gauge isn't it? X

[Jonesbabynumber1]

@BabyB19 mine was more like a period at first as I used products and now it’s more a little when I go to toilet. I’m going to ignore today I think unless it gets any heavy. I’m so confused 🤷‍♀️ it’s like I’ve given up caring 😅 I’m not opk this month and feel like giving up on temping as well I’m only cycle 4 how do people do this long term!

[BabyB19]

I think you should go from the first day then 🤔 I feel the same I've done some opk's but not consistently tbh.
Today I've just finished my Christmas shopping, finished decorating, cleaned the house and put the tree up, I am ON ONE! So think it's just because I'm keeping busy this month so it's not completely taking over my mind so going to carry on like that @Jonesbabynumber1 x

[dizzy85]

@Jonesbabynumber1 @BabyB19 I feel like that this month I've given up caring too 😂 I'm not doing opks either Ive just started having sex every other day and hoping for the best. My af I had 5 days of light spotting then full on heavy af for 5 days.
I have a good feeling about this cycle for us all x

[BabyB19]

I do too @dizzy85 because we all seem a little more relaxed about it with being preoccupied etc and I'm sure that's the key. I intent to put it out of my mind and just see what happens this month. I'm sure come the end of the cycle I'll be nuts again as usual but I think at least one of us must have some luck! X

[dizzy85]

That's it @BabyB19 we will all just chill out coz it's the holiday season and then the magic will just happen ☺️

[Jonesbabynumber1]

@dizzy85 @BabyB19 the thought of another two week wait fills me with dread and I almost don’t want Christmas ruined by it. I’d love to take a month off but I know I’ll regret. Works stressful as well and that doesn’t help, but the DH being great
So that’s good. I’m going to have a chilled weekend cleaning the house and getting the decks up

[MrsCl19]

Loving the chilled attitudes! I'm doing the same I'm going to opk but not that hung up on it!

It's my birthday on the 19th and I'm I'm going out out on the 20th so I'm thinking I'll do a test if it's negative(which is should be af due 25th) I'll just drink like usually, not a massive drinker anyway

[dizzy85]

@Jonesbabynumber1 it's funny you should say that as it did cross my mind to take a month off this month and just enjoy all the Christmas festivities without worrying. But I think I'd regret it too. But I'm not getting myself all stressed out over it. I want to eat drink and be merry. That's good your DH is being nice and supportive.

[dizzy85]

@MrsCl19 definitely I think chilled out is the way to go 😄 how long have you been trying for? My af is due on the 23rd so if it comes then I'll be stocking up on the mulled wine and Baileys 😆

[ceebee21]

I think Christmas and all the festivities really help...I’m away this weekend and just seem to be busy every day. What will be will be I guess xxx
