I'm still in last nights PJs, not gonna lie. We've had a tough day with the youngest, he's really struggling with being stuck inside so he's been super whingey and clingy. It's been a long day, but we're now settling down for movie night with some "KFC" 🤐
Your date night sounds awesome, I think we need to plan the kids having an early night so we can do that!

BFP2020 · 03/04/2020 22:41

Hey girls I'm still here too keeping up with your posts just not posting too much to try take my mind off it too many cycles of getting my hopes up x my laparoscopy was cancelled over covid 19 so I'm on cycle 15 hoping for the best during lockdown 🙈 I'm 1 DPO today but trying not to count 🙈

Missgoldilocks · 04/04/2020 08:27

@BFP2020 hey sorry to hear that that's really crap, I can't be referred either so just plodding along myself. Temperature dropped today so I know af will come any minute

LV1987 · 04/04/2020 09:41

I've had some brown tinged CM today and my RHR has dropped a beat. It's still higher than AF level though, which is normally between 59 and 61. This could be the start of AF for me - I'm now CD33 but still not certain of when I ovulated so I think I'll wait it out a few more days and see what happens. I felt "periody" earlier on this week, but don't feel like she's on her way now 🤷‍♀️ who knows

@lv1987 mines gone down to 57bpm from 60bpm :( temp at coverline cramps happening. Well at least the dong quai helped stop the pain I normally get for 2 days prior... That's if it turns up today maybe it'll make it late 🙄

LV1987 · 04/04/2020 11:24

I'm not too bothered still, my cycles are still regulating after all, and this will be another cycle which is slightly shorter than the others, so I am getting closer to whatever normal looks like for me 😁 I don't think my rhr ever gets as low as 57 bpm, I best start using my hour allotted daily exercise a bit better! We're off to walk the dog with the kids shortly, and I've actually put on real clothes for the first time this week 🤦‍♀️
@Beau20 your date night inspired us to have "Restaurant Night" with the kids during the week. We are going to all get dressed up, give them a set menu with prices... And then make them pick up the bill! All in the name of home schooling 😂😂

Beau20 · 04/04/2020 11:27

@LV1987 awww that is the sweetest idea ever!! I love that!! Our date night was rather uneventful. Part of me wanted to get absolutely hammered (for no reason).

I'm going to try and convince OH to learn a dance routine with me today. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN but a girl can try 😂

Beau20 · 04/04/2020 11:30

Can I also ask - when EVER in any circumstance would you require number 4 level of pre-seed? Honestly? Surely that's enough to send your entire partner in there?!

Langpants · 04/04/2020 13:26

Hi ladies!

Hope you're all well?! Been crazy this side as we just moved to Cornwall. Our movers bailed on us two days before so had to sort ourselves. The Friday we moved, the released restrictions so we made it in the nick of time. Now just mammoth unpacking to do.

Think I may have missed my opportunity this month. Got a positive opk yesterday morning then had loads of pain not long after.

Would tonight still be a goer?!

Hope you're all doing ok. x

LV1987 · 04/04/2020 14:22

@Langpants any nights a goer in my book! To quote my fave America's Got Talent Star, you gotta take it when you can get it, get it while you... Wrap it up in bacon, sizzle it in your pan! 🎶

@Beau20 I think we've been a teeny bit tiddly every night since the lock down 🤦‍♀️

Missgoldilocks · 04/04/2020 20:10

Urgh literally just want to cry. Everyone around me is getting pregnant and I'm just here lije why is it not happening. My OH best friend just announced his wife is 3 months pregnant and that means they got pregnant as soon as they started trying 😩😭😔 today is not the day to hear it since I'm sitting here waiting for full flow!!!

Beau20 · 04/04/2020 21:57

@Langpants ooh Cornwall I am veryyyy jealous!! Hope you are doing well and the move went okay!

@Missgoldilocks I hear ya sister. My friend from uni just announced her THIRD pregnancy (shes 27) and she only got married to this guy in December sooo guessing it took her like what a month or 2? It's really fucking shit!! I keep quizzing my best mate like HOWWWW ON EARTH did you get pregnant in the injection what did you do how did you go it tell me your secrets!! I feel like a let down, we terminated our last pregnancy and in the end my OH didn't really want me to which makes it sooo much worse. It's like karma bitch. My OH doesn't deserve this at all. Why isn't it happening? It will happen for us (you and me), 10000%. The fertility gods are just not being kind to us right now or there's some reason somewhere (I'm trying to figure out what) that means it's not our time right now.

Langpants · 04/04/2020 23:18

Thanks @Beau20 - it's great. Lots of unpacking to do but we are loving it. How are you doing? x

Langpants · 04/04/2020 23:20

@LV1987 that properly made me chuckle - thank you. 😂👌🏻

Tonight was the night. ☄️💥 🤣 So surprised as we're both knackered. Woop! x

Missgoldilocks · 05/04/2020 09:11

@Beau20 it's shit 🙃 I dreamt I got a bfp so I woke up this morning excited haha but I woke up to af lol. 🙄 Onto month 9...
Ahh that's really shit and must play on your mind about your oh 🤦‍♀️ is rather not know something like that because it's not like you can change it once it's done!

Beau20 · 05/04/2020 09:32

@Langpants it took us a year to properly unpack and we only moved from a tiny 2 bed semi 😂 I look now and think how on earth did we fit all this shit in our old house?! You'll get there, Cornwall is my absolute dream place to live. That or Scotland but if I'm honest we aren't far from Scotland now and we're probably as far north as I'd like to be for the poor weather 😂

@Missgoldilocks ah no 😭 however 'statistically' speaking you are well in the 'majority of women who conceive within a year' now so you can't be far off your BFP!

I'm well into FW now (based on CD14 ovulation which I've not had yet), CD11 today. I've had 2 days of elevated temp rises which is weird? I've been within 0.05 of a degree of 36.27 all week and today/yesterday was 0.3 and 0.2 degree higher 🤔

Danni2019 · 05/04/2020 09:34

Hey everyone sorry to hear everyone is feeling a bit down lately. The lockdown probably doesn't help as we have nothing else to distract us all just the same thing day after day. Well I'm CD12 for me and again smiley face on pink OPK but not positive on the strips so going to try and do an after lunch and an evening test to see if I can catch it. Will hopefully DTD tonight but then my partner returns to work tomorrow and the 12 hour shifts definitely take their toll at the moment so not sure he will be that up for it tomorrow but hopefully I can persuade him somehow Wink x

Missgoldilocks · 05/04/2020 09:55

@Beau20 it might be the change in weather? Yeah that's what I'm hoping that I'll get it within the next few months even though this month marks a year of being off contraception 🙃 haha fingers crossed we all get our bfps within the 12 months mark otherwise I'm gonna be a bit down trodden I think...
Get to dtd! Not much else to do 😂
Me and OH had a argument yesterday I was steaming because I was just pent up emotionally from af coming and a couple of pregnancy announcements yesterday and all he keeps saying is take a break! I think if I get to the 12 month mark I'll really try to just go with the flow for a few months (if I can without stressing balls)

Beau20 · 05/04/2020 11:01

@Missgoldilocks it could be although it's been freezing here still 😂😂

I really want to 'take a break' but how do you?? I'm not doing OPKs this month but I'm still analysing every single twinge and checking for CM... plus I'm still temping and even if I wasn't I'd be obsessing over something else like my RHR. It seems like it's taking forever but at the same time my last 7 unsuccessful cycles have gone soooo fast, so if the statistics are right 4 more and I should be nearly there?

I'm honestly so jealous of pregnant people right now. More so of the pregnant ones rather than the ones with the babies. I just want to get as far as BEING pregnant first...

LV1987 · 05/04/2020 11:54

Morning all! Hope you're all enjoying this glorious sunshine safely in your gardens 🌻

My RHR is still sitting up at 65, which is still quite high...but day two of pinky brown cm. I checked back to my first post pill cycle, and I had two days of pinky brown CM before full flow, so I think I'm on track for that this month 🤷‍♀️ if it doesn't come, I'm not sure how long to leave it before testing, any thoughts? My last two cycles were 44 and 38 days. I'm now CD 34.

Missgoldilocks · 05/04/2020 12:23

@Beau20 😂😂 I know right!! I'm jealous of the pregnancies too but yes statistically speaking we should nearly be there!! I'm the same I don't really know how I'd take a break because I will be checkung my cervix I will be checking cm and I have my app lol I know when I bloody ovulate how are you supposed to take a break!? God 😂 I would if we had sex every 2 days throughout the cycle! Imagine how easy it is to get pregnant when you first enter a relationship its on fire! BTW a girl I know was trying for 9 months and had progesterone problems so she started agnus castus this month and got pregnant! I can't remember if you tried it? She went to a herbalist though so maybe got a raw high dosage of agnus castus

Beau20 · 05/04/2020 12:56

@Missgoldilocks ooohh that's interesting to know! I did try agnus castus but no change. I'm too late for it this cycle so I'll try again next cycle. I think I had some EWCM this morning... let me pray that ovulation does actually happen on CD14 like it tried to last month. I swear the soy isoflavones deffooooo bring ovulation forward because both cycles I've been taking them ovulation (tried) to happen early!

LV1987 · 06/04/2020 07:41

The witch got me this morning! The good news is, that gives me a 34 day cycle this time around, which I'm happy with. The even better news is that my app places my ovulation date on one of the days I had thought it was happening - I'd had a whole lot of watery CM the day before with a few sharp pains, plus more sharp pains and ewcm the day of. So my body is making all the right sounds, hurrah!

The frustrating bit is that we DTD the night of and the night before, and I'm not preggerz, boo!

Hope everyone is well x

Katie1109 · 06/04/2020 08:35

@Missgoldilocks And @LV1987 sorry af arrived for you ladies x
@Beau20 how are you doing? Are you ovulating?x
I’m CD8 today so probably around 7 days away from ovulation day x last cycle I had a positive opk on CD13 but it was earlier than usual for me x

Beau20 · 06/04/2020 08:46

@LV1987 Gahh sorry she came!!

@Katie1109 I'm not doing OPKs but I had EWCM yesterday so my Femometer app thinks I ovulated yesterday. On CD11... 😂 someone is optimistic! I've had no ovulation cramps and sex was painless last night soooo cannot be ovulation as my backwards cervix KILLS when I am actually ovulating because it drops low.
