@BFP2020 well I get my period on day 14 of the luteal phase so maybe it's 13 days LP x

BFP2020 · 17/08/2020 11:47

@Missgoldilocks Are you busy working or anything to try keep your mind off it? x

Missgoldilocks · 17/08/2020 11:53

@BFP2020 no I don't have a 9 to 5 I work with my partner but he has a bigger operation than me so he's always busy and I work from home and it's not much really, I just find myself constantly cleaning and obviously it's the holidays so I'm with my son teaching him etc xx

LAnna20 · 17/08/2020 12:12

@BPF2020 I used the CB digital OPKs maybe I should have just gone for some cheapies! X
@Missgoldilocks I've also had a loose bowl last couple of days which I've not had before. I'm like you though and just expecting AF to arrive but try and stay positive and keep busy, Sunday will be here before you know it! Is your cycle pretty regular? X

BFP2020 · 17/08/2020 13:07

@Missgoldilocks At least your not sitting at a desk somewhere googling so Smile

@LAnna20 I've used them too and some months its very easy to miss your surge so it would stay flashing and they are so expensive. The cheapies work perfectly and when you see them darken a bit test again in the evening or even 3 times a day and you will def find your surge that way. But hopefully you won't need them at all and Thurs you will be the 3rd BFP of AUG Smile x

Missgoldilocks · 17/08/2020 14:58

@BFP2020 it's true 😂 I'll just go gym twice a day to keep my mind busy haha

@LAnna20 ahh thanks chick, do you feel like you may be this month? My cycles are clockwork bang on every month which I've learned to really appreciate during this whole process. It must be so hard on ladies that have irregular cycles honestly I'd completely lose my mind then I think!!
How are your cycles? I xx

LAnna20 · 17/08/2020 16:39

@BFP2020 thank you I think I'll get some cheapies if AF arrives then use them alongside BBT.
@Missgoldilocks no my cycles aren't regular, I really do loose my mind in the second week of the TWW! They are usually between 24-27 days however have been known to be shorter but never longer. I also always have spotting for 2/3 days prior to this. Now on CD25 and no sign of her but I'm going to wait it out and test Thur if she hasn't arrived. Fingers crossed this is both of our month for a BFP, how long have you been TTC? Xx

Missgoldilocks · 17/08/2020 17:28

@LAnna20 omg I'm keeping everything crossed for you it sounds really promising!!
Do you have any different symptoms?
I've been trying 13 months but been off contraception for 18 months, we still dtd during fertile week for those months but he never "finished" as it were at that time so 13 months of "finishing" 😅😂 probably sounds weird haha. How long have you been trying? Yeah the second week I'm just such a wreck like I've been dieting and going gym being really good and now I'm like give me all the carbs 😬 because I want to eat my feelings hah xx

LV1987 · 17/08/2020 17:50

Hi all, I'm still alive, just about! I think today may well be ovulation day, but we've not got a lot of shagging in so far as we have the kids with us. I swear their mum must stalk me on here or something 😂 would prefer not to get my period this month as we're heading away on a road trip, but it is what it is and I'm trying not to be too bothered still 😊 glad to see you're all well... And talking about shit 😂😂

LAnna20 · 17/08/2020 18:27

@Missgoldilocks haha I know the feeling all I want to do right now is eat cake Smile . Don't have any definite symptoms but i was really tired yesterday and had to have an afternoon nap and have had the odd twinges in my abdomen area but I'm sure that's something that generally happens . I'm trying not to look for symptoms. The lack of spotting for me is the strange thing and if that doesn't start tomorrow which will be CD26 I'm going to struggle not to test! Xx

Missgoldilocks · 17/08/2020 20:19

@LV1987 always talking about shit 😂 glad you're staying calm and not going crazy 😬 fingers crossed you get some sexy time in though chick x

@LAnna20 yeah the no spotting is a great sign :) how long have you been trying? I hope the spotting stays away from you xx

LAnna20 · 17/08/2020 20:49

@Missgoldilocks thank you so do I. Been TTC for 9 months which I know isn't very long compared to some including yourself, it just feels like a lifetime. I was a bit naive and just assumed once coming off the pill it would just happen. X

Missgoldilocks · 18/08/2020 09:57

@LAnna20 I think 9 months is still enough time to lose your mind lol I've been losing mind since the 5-6 month mark I'd say 😂 the only people that wind me up are the ones that post about only trying for a month or 2 it's like 😕😩 haha x

BFP2020 · 18/08/2020 11:44

@Missgoldilocks How are you today? x

@LAnna20 Have you managed to resist the urge to test? Fingers crossed no spotting? x

LAnna20 · 18/08/2020 11:53

@Missgoldilocks I think it was about the 5 month mark when I started to go a little crazy!

@BFP2020 still no spotting and I've managed to resit not testing. I've purposely only got 2 CB digitals in the house so I'm not tempted to just try a cheapie!
How are you both? X

Missgoldilocks · 18/08/2020 12:02

@BFP2020 @LAnna20 I'm trying to be positive but I just feel like it's never going to happen. Yesterday I had cramps and its the same cramps I have every single month on the same day or thereabouts. It just feels really unfair 😔 I'm looking into isoflavones and Inositol but a part of me wants to completely shut down stop taking vitamins stop caring stop everything until January and just making sure we dtd enough.
How are you both?? Sorry I'm such a Debbie downer I always feel like this around this time when I just feel like I'm out haha xx

BFP2020 · 18/08/2020 12:11

@LAnna20 Well done for not testing. Are you going to wait so until Thursday morning?
@Missgoldilocks Oh I really hope its early pregnancy cramping and not AF. I really want you to get your BFP too this month. Maybe you should just stop 'trying' and just DTD 2-3 times a weeks and hope for the best if its really stressing you out?

I'm good have first doc app today 5 weeks today xx I've a weird feeling its twins Shock

LAnna20 · 18/08/2020 12:24

BPP2020 yes test Monday morning if the witch hasn't arrived before then. I'm still convinced she could turn up in full force today or tomorrow. I've felt like AF is on her way for about the last 3/4 days did you feel like that prior to your BFP. Ooh what makes you think twins? Hope your spoon goes well.
@Missgoldilocks try and stay positive , although I know how hard that is. Your not out until the witch arrives and then if she does maybe take @BFP2020 advise and try and take a more relaxed approach to it, that's why I didn't continue with OPKs ,I was going more crazy than normal. I've heard so many people say it happens when your more relaxed which is what I've been trying to do these last couple of cycles X

BFP2020 · 18/08/2020 13:07

@LAnna20 I was convinced they were coming the only difference was I'd no cramps which I normally have and my boobs were way sorer than normal and I had that weird 10 15 minute pinching pain on 9DPO sure I had my baseline scan booked for the Monday I got got my BFP and had my prescription for the injections I needed for IUI for my AUG cycle. I think I was way more relaxed tho knowing I was going for IUI in AUG so that's prob why it happened along with getting my Laparoscopy and tubes flushed.
I'm just wiped out the minute 3pm comes and don't remember that until at least 6/7 weeks on my DD. My OH will faint if its twins I be delighted tho it would be way harder haha

BFP2020 · 19/08/2020 09:10

@Mumofboys17 How are you feeling? Your 6 weeks today? Did all your symptoms come back? Have you done anymore tests? xx

Everyone is very quiet Sad

Missgoldilocks · 19/08/2020 10:16

@BFP2020 I don't think I'd be able to stop trying, we don't have a lot of sex anyway lol so it would be trying to even try and have sex 3 times a week. But I know exactly when I ovulate anyway and I know the signs, my opks are finished there's like 2 left I won't buy anymore. Obviously what drives me up the wall is knowing I want a baby and it's not happening, I can't shut that off. 10dpo today and not a damn sign lol feel fine 🙄 how are you? X

@Mumofboys17 how are you lovely xx

@LAnna20 have you tested yet x

@katie1109 how are you x

BFP2020 · 19/08/2020 10:30

@Missgoldilocks Ya maybe even ditch the OPK's since your so regular it might help the stress levels. I'm still staying positive this is your month..
No signs is good are you an early tester or will you hold out until AF due? x
I'm good had a tiny bit of light pink size of a finger nail when i wiped yesterday so was freaking out all day but had doc app and she said it's normal. I've no cramping just the stretching and boobs still sore. Not feeling as nauseous as last week though but I know that can come and go. xx

Mumofboys17 · 19/08/2020 10:31

@Missgoldilocks definitely don't stop trying. I actually felt more stressed at the idea of not stressing about it! 😬 I agree about the OPK's though sack them off next cycle (hopefully it won't get that far, of course!) and don't forget I literally felt no different at all before my BFP. My CP was low and I was crampy. It was just the headache and the fact my DS told me I was pregnant 😂😂 the one month I didn't use conceive plus, no OPK's and just took folic acid (when I remembered) was when I fell, so IMO it goes to show sometimes it really is just down to chance! Xx

My symptoms are still fairly mild really, but that's not completely odd for me as I vaguely remember being similar with DS. I get sickness very quickly in the morning if I don't eat, I'm very breathless and my back is killing me. My pelvis isn't quite central it leans out a bit, and I had problems with back and ligament pain with DS so figure I'll just need physio again.
@BFP2020 well remembered 😂 yes I'm 6 weeks today (I think) but could be a day or 2 either side. These first few weeks have dragged horribley I just want to get past the 12 week mark. I had about 3 dreams last night I gave birth too early 😫 these hormonal dreams are awful!! Hope you're doing OK too? X

BFP2020 · 19/08/2020 10:40

@Mumofboys17 I'm ok feel like my nausea has eased too and I had heartburn last week and now I don't but I know that with my first pregnancy morning sickness didn't kick in properly till 6 weeks. Did you test anymore? I just feel like I will relax a bit more once I see the 3+ on the digital and then see a heartbeat hopefully next tue when I have my early scan. It's just so scary and it is dragging I'm quiet in work which makes it worse.

Did you book an early scan? x

LAnna20 · 19/08/2020 19:23

@Missgoldilocks no I've not tested but I started light spotting last night and that's still here so think I'm out!! This is just the longest cycle I've ever had which I think annoys me nearly as much as not getting a BFP! Is AF due Sunday for you? X
