AF due in 3 days.

Am sure I'm out this month - negative FRER today and I have the usual PMS acne.

Just want my period to come already so that I can get this useless cycle over with and have a commiseration beer.

Just frustrating as have been taking pre-conception vitamins for months, cut out caffeine, no alcohol during TWW, have DTD every other day, tracked ovulation and with no success.

Anyone else fancy a moan whilst waiting for AF to show up?

@Sunbird24 @LS2020 a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do 🤣
Does the Lumea really work @Sunbird24 ? Worth it?

I bought it in a sale, wouldn’t pay full price. My leg hair is too fine/light but it’s really good on my bikini line. Nobody tells you when you first learn about hair that it will eventually start spreading...

@mrswilso if I tried to epilate my lady bits I just know I'd get my lips stuck in it somehow! I used to epilate my armpits...but often got bits of my head hair in the process (massive klutz)

@Sunbird24 the first time I saw a pube on my THIGH I was absolutely shocked. That is not the designated zone! Shock

...the first grey one 🤭 how f*#king rude to turn up down there!? 😤🤣
And I've been there @CaribouCarafe - genuine terror but I survived 😆
@LS2020 I’m starting to overthink the RHR I think...I’m supposedly on CD3 now although things are much lighter than they should be...and my RHR is still higher than usual for CD1...😳🥴 SOMEBODY FREAKING STOP MEEEE! 😫 whyyyy!? 🤣

@mrswilso oh lovely haha I do that! Though I’ve noticed on Fitbit you never get more than a 2 beat drop or increase (tho did have a 3 day with mmc) so I wonder if it’s something in their algorithm so you’ll see it drop later in week? Mines dropped super low today so wondering if AF will show tonight 😞

LS2020 · 18/04/2021 06:52

Sorry should say 3 RHR drop*

mrswilso · 18/04/2021 10:23

@LS2020 maybe it's that then 🤔 it's stayed at 67 again today so hopefully that should keep my head straight 🤣

LS2020 · 18/04/2021 12:39

This was mine in November, took til ovulation to come down but it got there! No signs of AF yet, not due til weds but mines already back down to flat so no idea what happening

mrswilso · 18/04/2021 13:46

@LS2020 maybe our bodies are just laughing at us...🤣
I'm even lighter again today - just pink on wiping, nothing on liner overnight or today so far...
Weird. I've tracked long enough to know I'm pretty much a solid 12 day luteal and I've never ovulated before CD 16/17 in the past...also never had such a short/light period before...
It's probably definitely a light period...😒

LS2020 · 18/04/2021 20:58

Honestly I swear it does! My boobs are killing me today. They’re hard as rocks and so so painful to move even with a bra on. Still no spotting so doesn’t look like an early cycle yet.
Did you track O this cycle? Might just be a short missed cycle - unfortunately happens

LS2020 · 19/04/2021 10:08

@mrswilso I lied to you! A bad nights sleep can get you 3 point jump too 😂

I did an OPK this morning, and have got a really strong line - my HPT was only negative yesterday so I’m guessing this is not likely to be me ovulating but a false result from traces of HCG still left over?

mrswilso · 20/04/2021 12:11

You never know @Sunbird24
If you were proper stark negative on a FRER I'd get on it. You might ovulate early this cycle. It's worth a shot!

Sunbird24 · 20/04/2021 12:12

@mrswilso if I had a man I’d probably give it a try! 🤣

mrswilso · 20/04/2021 12:15

@Sunbird24 shit sorry! I always forget that you're a boss ass bitch doing it for herself 🤩 bloody love that!

Sunbird24 · 21/04/2021 16:25

LH line is even stronger today - Femometer had yesterday’s as 119% and today’s as 200%!
Guess I’ll just have to wait and see when AF turns up...

LS2020 · 21/04/2021 20:31

@Sunbird24 hopefully a good sign that your ovulations bounced back so quickly and know that you tend to be more fertile after a loss so good luck ❤️

AF arrived for me yesterday so on to another cycle. I’ve got my HSG and not trying this month so may be a bit quieter, please add me to any new thread that gets set up though!

Sunbird24 · 21/04/2021 20:34

The clinic are recommending genetic testing on my remaining frozen embryos, but I really don’t know if I want to do that.
Hope you enjoy a bit of a rest from it all @LS2020

LS2020 · 24/04/2021 16:05

@Sunbird24 are you concerned about what the results will say? Might be worth the pain of going through this again through this again though?

Sunbird24 · 24/04/2021 17:08

Yes, if they say none of my embryos are chromosomally normal then that’s the end of the line for me. At 43 I don’t think they’d give me another go with my own eggs.

Sunbird24 · 26/04/2021 19:12

Turned out my LH surge wasn’t, it was still HCG. Over 3 weeks since the main part of the miscarriage and still not quite negative on the HPTs. I thought it was BFN 8 days ago but tested again on Friday to check and it wasn’t even a squinter. Why do our bodies play these tricks on us??
How’s everyone else doing?

Ughmaybenot · 26/04/2021 19:16

Sorry this situation is still ongoing for you @Sunbird24 seems particularly cruel. Sending love Flowers

LS2020 · 03/05/2021 09:42

@Sunbird24 how are you getting on? Have they checked all the HCG is gone?

@Ughmaybenot how are you doing lovely? How far along are you now?

@mrswilso look at my RHR now we’re not TTC! Shows how stressful I find the whole thing!

Sunbird24 · 03/05/2021 10:36

AF has started this morning @LS2020, Im planning to sit out this month and wait for the lab results from the last one before deciding what to do next.

Your RHR charts always fascinate me, but I have to admit to not having a clue what they mean!

Ughmaybenot · 03/05/2021 22:20

Hey @LS2020 I’m good thank you, vomiting finally starting to abate now! 13 weeks yesterday, all progressing as it should be as far as we know. Thanks for asking x
