Hi Ladies, any of you out there around cd 8 looking for someone to chat with during the rollercoaster ride that is ttc? A lot of my friends already have kids and I’m feeling a bit left behind. xo

Am telling my self it just normal af pains in the hope I hold off until start of the week at least

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 20:00

@Sammiantha2020 I have an engagement do on Saturday so that should hopefully take my mind of things. Ive been suffering all day from this water infection and I can't get a drs appointment till next week. Are you doing anything nice this weekend?

Sammiantha2020 · 23/01/2020 20:38

@Jenna30ttc aw lovely!! Nice to have a night out! I’m just home this eve as I work away Mon morn - Thurs aft so enjoying spending my time with oh. Is it a urine infection? Ouch! x

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 20:44

@Sammiantha2020 do you go away for work often? I bet it is nice to spend time with OH if you are away for a few days. Sometimes it's nice just having a chilled weekend. Yeah a urine infection I'm hoping it doesn't last long and just goes away. My twinges and cramps have gone. I don't think it's the month for me. But just happy for this cycle to be nearly over. Its been the longest cycle ever (feels like it anyway). What do you do for work? I work from home pretty much 5 days a week which I'm glad about.

Sammiantha2020 · 23/01/2020 20:55

@Jenna30ttc well my oh works @ Durham uni but I still work in Glasgow Mon-Thurs (but work from home on a Fri)...bit unfortunate but it’s the way it is at the mo! But we still get to spend a lot of time together so not complaining too much, however it does make the ttc journey a bit more difficult at times...hence why the cd 12 ov was a bit awkward! That’s a nightmare re the infection... I hope you get something to clear it up ASAP! Well I’ll be happy to share the next cycle with you girls if this isn’t you bfp! It’ll be so much easier to have ppl to blether to ☺️. x

My pain side has moved to the other side. Also the same feelings as you @Jenna30ttc . Try some cranberry juice helped me in the past. Am so glad tomorrow is Friday this week has been so long!

Jenna30ttc · 23/01/2020 21:00

@Wintergal thanks! Ive heard that. Ill grab some tomorrow. I was just about to say I don't feel any twinges but then I did. Hows the dizziness? When will you be officially late? Sorry if you've said before. @Sammiantha2020 I'm 70% sure that I will be joining you next cycle. We can continue venting again then 😂

Wintergal · 23/01/2020 21:04

Think next Tuesday but my cycles have been like 28/45 now this one since coming off the pill. So 28 would be Monday am sure!
Am sure I'll be with you both also next month. Dizziness is fine but I feel wiped out even though I slept for 9 hours lol!

Sammiantha2020 · 23/01/2020 21:25

This is a pretty tiring/painful af ... I’ve been asleep every night this wk before 10pm 😴. I’ll be keeping everything crossed for you both this wkend, and once you get BFP’s I’ll be looking for tips!
Have you read anymore of that book? @Jenna30ttc x

@Sammiantha2020 we are hosting a Burns night supper on Saturday so prepping for that is keeping my mind busy and away from google! :)

Sammiantha2020 · 24/01/2020 07:57

@EB211 that sounds like a lot of fun...well... for those not doing the prepping! Google is the worst thing us ladies have available when our minds are in overdrive, just remember there’s a lot of naf info on there too! x

Aw @Sammiantha2020 google is the worst thing ever. Does anyone know how long your temp stays high for?

Sammiantha2020 · 24/01/2020 08:42

I think your temp has to stay high for at least 18 dpo If you are pregnant. For example mines started to go down yesterday and that was my heaviest af day x

OP posts:
Jenna30ttc · 24/01/2020 09:44

@Sammiantha2020 not yet. Im waiting until af arrives first before I start reading it properly. I think out this month as my symptoms have disappeared and tbh it could've have been due to the water infection I had yesterday (which now seems to have gone this morning) 🙌🏽. Im defo going to try smep next cycle. Ill be joining you soon 😂

Sammiantha2020 · 24/01/2020 09:50

@Jenna30ttc that sounds like a good idea... it’ll keep you occupied during af 😔.
You are still in for now...let’s not count you out! That’s a bonus that you are feeling better though...I had those pesky infections!
As we’re not together 3 nights a wk smep may be difficult, but I’m hoping if this cycle is like the 1 just gone then I should ov a wk on Mon which allows me to try hard next wkend 😉 x

Well ladies I've just been for a 💇🏽‍♀️ and had my eyebrows waxed and shortly going to get my 💅🏽 done. Feels nice to treat myself. I bought some sachets for my infection. Even though it's better today and I didn't want to assume I'm okay. Happy Friday ladies 👏🏽

EB211 · 24/01/2020 16:34

@Jenna30ttc aww that sounds lovely, its good to treat yourself! Happy Friday everyone :) :)

Wintergal · 24/01/2020 16:48

That sounds amazing! I got a can of juice highlight of my treats! Horrible day at work so glad to be off for the weekend

Jenna30ttc · 24/01/2020 16:52

@EB211 enjoy yours burns night supper.

Jenna30ttc · 24/01/2020 16:53

@EB211 **your 🙄😂

Sammiantha2020 · 24/01/2020 16:56

@Jenna30ttc I really need to treat myself to all of that ASAP ...I’m just feeling sorry for myself right now as cramps are bad 😔 but off out for a few drinks with my oh. Have a fab eve ladies x

OP posts:
Jenna30ttc · 24/01/2020 17:03

@Sammiantha2020 awh dear! That's poo. Not long to go before you can start again though. Go and treat yourself to a few glasses. I could do with a glass of 🍷. Enjoy your night with OH xx

Jenna30ttc · 24/01/2020 19:42

Well girls af has arrived. 4 days early too! Just went to the loo and wiped and there it was! Not red but very light (pinkish). But I know its not implantation bleeding its just the beginning of af. Just when I thought my cycles were like 30/31 it's 26 this cycle. Onto the next one. So bd'ing eod didn't work for me. Think it's going to have to be smep for me this month. @Sammiantha2020 I'll be joining you 😂
