@Kiza yep all the time and he is getting so
Excited about the prospect whereas last time we were trying he was quite chilled about it.

Fingers crossed and baby dust all round that we can give them the good news soon xx

morning:) pretty sure I have ovulated now so today is 1dpo - cd13 so it came earlier this month which was welcomed 🙌

@Kiza aww that made me really excited for when I do get to tell my DH :D when we first started trying he was definitely not as into it as I was but then when we lost the baby he realised how much he wants a baby and now he is the same sad as i am when af arrives.

@Etonmess20 its good to keep track of the changes and symptoms because then you know whats normal for you 🙌

@IamHopeful2020 love that - we are all mums to be just waiting for our babies :D

Feeling rubbish today been unable
To go the loo properly for about 4 days and feel completely exhausted today. 7dpo and hoping it's for a good reason as then will be worth it lol.

Hope everyone's had a nice Sunday 😊

@lizzie198 I'm 7dpo today too!! Sorry to hear you've been feeling a bit rubbish, fingers crossed it's your month for a BFP!

@Etonmess20 yay we can be test buddies when do you think you will start testing?

I really want to try and hold off til next Sunday as AF is due a week on Monday and think I would rather know that it's bfn that just have AF arrive and feel gutted.

@lizzie198 do you test every month? I don't usually test as I don't like to see the negatives but might give it a go this month! Next Sunday is probably a good shout!
It's my first month on clomid so I have a fair few symptoms I don't normally have, so we'll see if it's worked!

@Etonmess20 I became a bit of an addict before we took the break and I have a draw full of one steps.

I really want to be stricter about it now we are back TTC and hoping being in work will keep me occupied (working from home though so may have to get Hubby to hide the tests lol).

I'm really not holding out much hope this month though as we only managed BD once in FW, on the day I should have ovulated and I didn't do any OPK's just used my app this month so don't even know if we caught it.

More organised for next month now we've decided to start TTC again.

@lizzie198 @Etonmess20 I'm 8dpo! I'm definitely going to wait until AF is due, wasted waaaaayy too many tests over the last year and half! @lizzie198 sometimes an increase in progesterone during the TWW can cause constipation (happening to me too this month! 💩)

@Annny27 did you manage to get some good DTD in for the early O?

Evening :)

@kiza I am with you with the no early testing this month! Don't have any tests in the house and with lockdown I only go to shops 1 time a week so I won't be easily tempted haha! And yes we managed to dtd for the 2 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation - not sure if we cba tonight haha!

@lizzie198 yep I sometimes have those issues in the tww 🙈

@lizzie198 I am the opposite way, the last time time I tested was December as AF was 4 days late. Usually I am bang on like clockwork so hardly worth testing for me generally!
Yeah we didn't DTD as much as we'd have liked to in fairness as I've had a kidney infection ☹️

@Kiza would you usually test the morning af is due or would you leave it I til the next day?
I didn't know that about progesterone making things more difficult btw, the things you learn 😂

@Kiza thank you fingers crossed it is for that reason then 😊

Boobs a bit sore last night and today but really not sure if it just means AF is going to be mega early or if it's normal as I'm a numpty and not been recording these things when we had the break.

My Flo app has never been busier though this month as determined if it's bfn I will have a record of things so I will know if normal
Next month.

@Etonmess20 I'm in awe I don't have your self control x

@lizzie198 don't be!!! 😂 I somehow just find af arriving less disappointing than seeing a negative test...not entirely sure why!! X

@Etonmess20 that makes a lot of sense everyone deals with it differently.

I've just called drs to find out if I can take anything for the constipation as getting terrible tummy cramps and feeling sick today.

@lizzie198 were they able to suggest anything? Nothing worse than feeling like that ☹️

@Etonmess20 not yet the dr needs to give me a call back this afternoon.

Tried Google and the NHS 111 site first as didn't want to take anything that might be risky if we have struck lucky this month and 111 just came up with call the GP lol x

@lizzie198 I feel like that sometimes, I haven't had a drink at all this cycle as it's my first on clomid but in other cycles I have, then you think if it was your lucky cycle would it have harmed things? 😬

@Etonmess20 I know it's so hard!

The doctor said "so you might be pregnant?" and when I said yes and when my last period was I almost felt stupid but that's the problem with the TWW you might be and there's no way of telling 🙈

He's sent some stuff to the local pharmacy for me to collect tomorrow and gave me a lecture on fibre, which I already have a lot of in my diet and haven't had this problem before so really hope I get a BFP now to prove it lol x

@lizzie198 oh bless you 😆 I had a strong fresh coffee this morning (strong caffeine usually works as a laxative for me) just to get some movement. I have been drinking fresh decaf for a while so had some proper stuff in the back of the cupboard. Helped a bit but still not enough!
I've also had insomnia the last 4 days (I'm usually out like a light) and felt really nauseas all afternoon but fine now. Sore boobs since 1dpo but easing off today. I know from previous experience all of this could mean zilch!!! 😂

@Etonmess20 I try to wait until day AF is due as like you I'd rather see AF than a negative.

@Annny27 ahh hopefully you caught 🤞🏼 that's so good having none in the house. About 6 months ago I gave all mine to DP but then sneakily bought IC

@orangeloo how was your weekend?

@lizzie198 it's hard to know what to say when asked that question isn't it.

Fingers crossed the medication gets things moving & then fingers even more tightly crossed for a BFP for you! X

@Kiza I think since I've been on MN I've learnt so much, I never realised some people tested as much as they do,trying not to let the craziness rub off on me but very hard at times 😂

@Kiza I can't have caffeine it gives me
Migraines so I've been on decaff for years otherwise I'd be giving that a shot tonight.
Glad it's helped you a little bit though 😊

@Etonmess20 thank you and lots of fingers crossed for Yours and everyone's else's on here too xx

@kiza weekend was nice thanks. Did lots of cleaning today as I think I may be in furloughed soon 🙁. About to enter fertile week and really feeling the pressure and nervous as this will be my first progesterone cycle. At least now I should be in with a real chance again.

How are you feeling? Any news about your referral?

@lizzie198 hope things ease for you. Personally I wouldn't worry about what I take in tww if I needed some relief.

A few threads back someone posted a really interesting photo of your chance of bfp each DPO. I can't find it but found this which can ease your eagerness to test early 😄

@orangeloo oh no, by the sad face you're not happy about potential furlough? Yeah I'm keen to see if the cream changes the spotting, do they say it should be as soon as the first cycle or does it take a few cycles?
I'm going to call my consultant tomorrow as today is the 11th (day govt said clinics can apply to reopen) and ask if I'm allowed to proceed with my AMH blood test as a patient of mine told me another local hospital has been doing regular blood tests during lockdown.

@kiza oh no that was supposed to say UN furloughed. I don't want to go back to work hahaha. I'm just loving being at home and not rushing around.

I think the progesterone will take effect as soon as you start taking it.
Ah yes do, hopefully they will book you in.
I remember that countdown to test. That is very useful and puts early testing into perspective doesn't it.
