Well since we are at the tail end!!

@Beau2020x @quiffy @Symptomspotter86 @BFP2020 @ange211

@Mumofboys17 no I think its from the pain, they aren't normally this bad and it's just making me nauseous 🤢 maybe it's from flying through different time zones ✈️🤷‍♀️

I know right it's so weird I'll even try to help it along but nothing works haha just can't finish! Xx

@hampshirerose34 Aw no sorry :( is it definitely AF and no chance of IB?

@Ellsbells112 I think it should be okay to wait until Sat and Sunday as it's not a static one yet. If that's going to make you stressed though, maybe just dtd?

Katie1109 · 24/01/2020 09:22

How is everyone doing this morning? x
I'm 5DPO I think, my boobs are starting to get tender to touch on the sides and CM is white now, creamy and stretchy?! Not really sure what that's all about. Since last weekend when I ovulated I constantly feel some twinges on left side, almost like my body keeps reminding me that it ovulated on that side. My back is a bit achy on and off but in general I feel fine and looking forward to the weekend x AF is due next weekend for me, so let's see!

hampshirerose34 · 24/01/2020 09:26

@Quiffy I don't know I have mega cramps and a banging head ache . it started off like pink water last night now it's thicker I can't tell the difference to be honest.

Symptomspotter86 · 24/01/2020 09:46

@quiffy @beau2020x Me and OH used the pull out method for 6 years before TTC as I can't take the normal pill due to family history and the other progesterone stuff like Implant made me loopy. I was scared to have the coil as 3 of my friends lost theirs up them and 1 even had scarring which affects fertility! So good old pull out method. If I'd known it would be this hard to get pregnant we wouldn't have even bothered with that!

@quiffy I would just DTD anyway for the next 3 days. It takes 24 hours for sperm to gain strength again so as long as you are doing it once a day and not twice it will be fine!

Beau2020x · 24/01/2020 10:31

@Ellsbells112 are you doing internet cheapies as well as CB? I'm glad I did this time because I had 9 days of flashing and the month before only 2 days! Personally I'd wait and save the sperm (no wanking for OH either!!) and do it a good 2-3 days around peak. But there is absolutely no harm in doing it today as well. CD12 isn't a bad day to DTD if you usually ovulate on CD15

Not really any cramping for me today but boobs are sore (left more than right, left is my bigger one). 8DPO today. We must be due some BFPs soon!

Beau2020x · 24/01/2020 10:32

@Symptomspotter86 I had the copper coil when I was 17 and IT FEEL OUT! Wtf. It would be my next contraception of choice but now when I looked at that tiny thing like no wonder it feel out!

Beau2020x · 24/01/2020 10:36

Wait, now I'm googling what it SHOULD look like and mine looked nothing like that?! It was basically a string with a load of tiny copper beads. No like 'T' plastic shaped at the top, just a string with beads.

Someone tell me I'm not crazy and this actually used to be a type of coil?!

Quiffy · 24/01/2020 10:52

@hampshirerose34 aw man, hope the cramps and headache eases off soon.

@Katie1109 AF due the end of next week for me. Feels like the longest tww ever at the moment.

@Symptomspotter86 @Beau2020x Pull out method could be a good shout. Ive never used a copper wire so not sure on the beads, I just knew it was supposed to be t-shaped.

My bbt is still being odd, now heading down past the cover line which doesnt happen usually until a day or two before AF, so really thinking that I didnt ovulate. Apps for it ranging from 5dpo to 7dpo. Got a crampy stomach (usual for pre-af) and REALLY hungry (probably more to do with being on a diet). AF should be holding off until 30th so we'll see.

Ellsbells112 · 24/01/2020 11:26

@Beau2020x 😂😂😂 he doesn't do it that often!! Hes just used to that sensation to finish (well that's what I personally believe but he just says he has amazing stamina) maybe a mixture of both 😂😂 anyway thanks! I know what you mean but I never get a flashing on cd12, my cervix has gone high too plus because of this medication I'm. Thinking what if I ovulate earlier? Maybe I should just dtd to cover bases lol besides, by the time we dtd it will basically be cd13 and the tomorrow when we dtd it will basically be cd14 (we always dtd going into early hours!)

I think there was a different kind of coil and it got taken off the market as they got sued loads. My mum got a terrible infection with that coil I was about 6 and I remember her crying in pain, she had to go hospital!!

@Ellsbells112 yas! go go go!

Do any of you lot watch Naked Attraction? I've just had an episode on with this creepy student boy. He actually just commented that he didnt think one of the woman would be "tight down there" but that was okay as he didnt mind. Anna Richathingy was like ehhhh you think she's loose just looking at her?? The only thing I can think was she was slighty curvier than the rest, so he just presumed. Where do boys go to learn biology? (Worse, he's meant to be a forensics student!). Id never go on that show, but I'd have whipped that screen up and given him a slap.

Mumofboys17 · 24/01/2020 13:21

@Quiffy I don't watch it but have seen it advertised, you do make me laugh 😂😂😂 Anna Richathingy 😂😂😂😂

Sorry I've been a bit quiet, AF still going for me so nothing new going on here! Can see everyone else seems to be either in the TWW madness or DTD 😉

Those of you taking evening primrose oil, do you take during AF or wait until you start the actual cycle of DTD again??

Quiffy · 24/01/2020 13:38

@Mumofboys17 I was too enraged to google her name hahaha. I always get her confused with the one that was on Changing Rooms. For the Evening Primrose I start from first day of AF then stop once I get a peak opk. I think you can take them all cycle but some people said it could be bad if you do get a BFP and you only need the EWCM for ov anyway.

Mrslane2019 · 24/01/2020 14:12

oh I watch some naked attraction last week one made me feel normal with curvy girl i thought to myself maybe I don't look to bad lol

so when you would you say it was best to take a test how many dpo

Quiffy · 24/01/2020 14:17

@Mrslane2019 I think if you really can't wait then 10dpo at earliest but closer to AF or 14dpo would be better. The problem with it being early is that you might get a false negative or worse get a positive that turns out to be a chemical - there's been a lot of ladies with bfps turning into negs lately :(

Mrslane2019 · 24/01/2020 14:23

i don’t why for some reason it won’t tag you quiffy thank you i’m so impatient it unreal i actually feel different today which in all the month i never had these symptoms just hoping it not a tummy bug or something 😳

got baby shower tomorrow to go to so i could alway say i’m poorly 🙈 no should really say that 😂😂

Quiffy · 24/01/2020 14:27

@mrslane2019 It's probably the thread's way of telling me to get on with working hehe. Awww a baby shower is tough. Id be tempted to test so if it was a bfp I'd be super happy at it, but if it's a neg you'll be REALLY sad. How many dpo are you?

Mrslane2019 · 24/01/2020 14:32

8/9 dpo it not the baby shower bit that worry me as i say i’m over moon for them it that absolutely idiot say oh when you having your next
it old colleague so all people i worked with be there and haven’t seen for over a year so u know that question going to come about 400 time 😂😂

Donnat89 · 24/01/2020 14:45

Hi guys !

Thought I would join the crazy gang ! Little about me I'm 31 , 2 children from a previous relationship

OH and I managed to get pregnant last Year after a year of trying but unfortunately lost our baby at 14 weeks in March . We have pretty much been TTC since then and haven't been blessed again .

I am now 10dpo took a cheapy amazon test this morning got a BFN .

Can't say I'm surprised tbh felt crappy all week ; mood swings , sooo tired , sore boobs and back ache .... so fully expecting AF to show on time on Wednesday (give or take a day) which is usuall for me .

I'm still trying to remain hopeful but I do hate this wait I just want to know for certain . Deal with the upset of not being preg and try again !

Good luck all of you go through this dreaded TWW

XXX

Quiffy · 24/01/2020 15:23

@Mrslane2019 There should be a rule against people asking this!

@Donnat89 Welcome to the madhouse! Sorry about your MC, that must have been heartbreaking

Donnat89 · 24/01/2020 15:53

@Quiffy thanks hun yes it was heart breaking but before we conceived we where worried it wasn't gonna happen so one thing we were able to take from it is that we CAN it's just taking a while .

The TWW is the worst part of the cycle for me I become so obsessive it's not healthy.

I have bought a FR to do in the morning although I'm pretty sure AF is coming but trying to be hopefully until she shows !

Ellsbells112 · 24/01/2020 16:03

@quiffy sorry I wrote a post but it didn't post! What a twat that man is, I've hearden say that before but only stupid ones! I'm curvy and a little something more 😂 no complaints here!

Quiffy · 24/01/2020 16:11

@ellsbells112 exactly!!! Im no size 8 (or close) and I was RAGING. He was like "it's okay though I don't mind when it's not tight". Aye right, feck off you wee shite. Not like we're stuffing doughnuts up that end.

@Donnat89 staying hopeful is the best way! Ahhh fingers crossed for the FRER.

Beau2020x · 24/01/2020 17:47

@Quiffy hahahahaha omgggggggeeee stuffing doughnuts 😂😂😂 little bastard though bet he had shrivelled up little chode

How's everyone feeling. Me boobs are painful here! Never get painful boobs EVER (last time I was pregnant but didn't start until a few days after missed AF). I also never usually get cramps before AF but that has started last cycle so anything goes these days 😑

Quiffy · 24/01/2020 19:02

@Beau2020x Worse, his flatmates and him had a bar chart on pee-pee size (boak) and he was proud to be top dog. The way he was giggling at lady gardens, though, he defo isnt going to know how to use it.

Im also finding it hard to know what's new and what's a good sign. Every month brings something new and fun! Does feel like a really long tww atm.
