@Bellabubble I can imagine nursery /early years teachers go home and don't want anyone to touch them 😂😂 my daughter always wants to be in my space and it's a much sometimes.

I can't believe all those issues with your new build. Do they fix it for you?

@mrsssk ooh that's good stuff!! Glad you're in the TWW even though it'll be a long stretch. Get some socks on your feet and rest up, haha xx

Hi everyone!

Just wondering if anyone can offer any advice..
I've had one period since my miscarriage in late March/early April.
The first cycle I ovulated on day CD33 (with the MC full flow bleeding being CD1), had a lovely bbt rise and then spotting started 9dpo with a temp drop and a full flow 3 days later. It was really heavy but ended very quickly after 3 days.

This month I've used OPK and appear to have got my peak on CD22. It was an extremely strong OPK.
I work half nights half days so haven't managed to track my bbt well this month other than on my days off. Since ovulation I've done 4 night shifts so only managed 3 temps on my days off none of which have been raised at all.
Can I assume I didn't ovulate or put it down to the fact I've not been consistent with my temperatures and just ignore it?

My body feels a bit odd this month, I usually get sore boobs exactly one week before my period but they've been sore since just after ovulation.

Also anyone had a strong OPK like this? I'm a bit worried it's a sign of something not being right?

@ttcin2020 that is a lovely positive OPK! I’m very jealous. I’d say you ovulated and you’re temps are a just all over the place with your sleep patterns. Not sure though, sorry I can’t help more.

@Bellabubble ours is new and we had loads of snags too. Some are on hold now as they aren’t fixing them at the moment but I’ll have another list when they are. They have done everything we asked though, just some of it was painful and stressful! We haven’t been able to paint yet because of the movement, I’d loved to have decorated while we’ve been in.

So the OPK story here continues to baffle me. Took it again after 4 hours - I accidentally had a nap, that helped with the holding. It’s now saying between 70-80 which I think is the cusp of peak, but the lines look light to me.
Not sure I can be arsed with the rest of today 😂 I’m going to have a drink, DTD and just keep at it and assume I’ll ovulate at some point.

Bloody OPKs, stupid lines 😂😂

Hi all xx trying to catch up most days but have lots going on 😴 but hello to the new comers so sorry you have to join and sending you lots of luck xx @SmileyT I thought the same lots to catch up thread moving fast , does suck more ladies having to join 💙💞🌈 just hope everyone gets their deserved BFPs soon xxx

@ttcin2020 wowzers that's a super positive OPK. I would say that temps are probably all over the place with your shifts xx

I'm assuming femometer has put you as having ovulated?

@MichT4 femometer isn't being kind to you is it? Although they do seem lighter after your peak. Definitely good to have a more relaxed night. By tomorrow if they are super faint then you know where you are.

@Renna hope all is okay? 😊 Xx

@elliew818, it totally tastes like balls 😂

@VP91x At £3.70 a bottle, if this doesn't get me pregnant soon, I'm going to have to buy shares in the bloody stuff 🙈🤣
I went all in and bought two fresh ones too. OH can't wait for breakfast tomorrow 😝 'bacon sarnie dear?' 'No, Pomegranate darling' 😂😂😂

😂😂 @Jazper. I don’t know where you are, but morissons has their own pomegranate juice. 70p for a litre, much more up my street. Although if that shows more success I’ll be investing also!

@VP91x it’s not my friend. I don’t know what to think really. Would you say assume that I peaked earlier today then? I think I need to just assume it’ll have happened in the next few days to be in line with my already long cycle, so just carry on DTD until then. How are your cheapies?

I just had a shower and thought I’d check CM (sorry, again) and then suddenly thought my poor body! Being prodded and having it’s CM swiped from it, dehydration, holding wees 😂😂 probably hates me! Better get me PG quick so I stop bothering it 😜

@Jazper balls I haven't been to Tesco yet!! Going to go this evening. Did you get it from there?? Haha 😂 all I've drank today is grapefruit juice 🤔. Dedication with the fresh one too. Let me know how it tastes!!

@MichT4 I'm forever checking my cervix too 😂😂

I normally love a cheapie juice too but apparently its the brand that has the magic seal of approval. Not sure why, but going with it.

Yeah keep testing for a few days anyway it's the only way to know until you get a temp rise.

My cheapies are quite frankly pathetic 😂😂😂

Xx

🙄🙄 I wonder how much the brand paid to have that written as a claim! Fine! I’ll remortgage and buy some tomorrow 😂

Oh god, these cheapies!! Must keep peeing until I see something conclusive. I’ll dry up like a prune. Do you think prunes are good for the uterine lining? 😂

@MichT4 have you seen anything so disappointing in all your life? But, it will happen. It is just a case of when.

Hahah, literally we are all going to be bankrupt! Xx

@VP91x your handwriting is really lovely, and the organisation here is impressive!
They are light, but you’ll probably get a lovely dark peak which is better than loads of highs where you can’t see the progression.

Bankrupt and pregnant! I’ll take that. Might have to get a second job when the savings have been spent on pomegranate juice 😂😂

@MichT4 haha thank you 🥰 I saw someone else do it and thought oh that's clever.
Just so you know the level of crazy I am at, they are on the mantelpiece under my TV in the front room 😂

Hahah, definitely need a second job xx

😂😂😂😂 beautiful house decoration @VP91x

@MichT4 haha maybe I'll start a home decor instagram account for the TTC woman?🤔Xx

@VP91x pots of wee from various points in the day dashed around, and a picture containing wee infused sticks. I can see it will be a great success 😂

@Northernsoul90 @Eli2020 welcome to group ladies ! Im sorry that you have found yourself here! But ladies on forum give best support to each other ! We have tried straight after MCs once bleeding stopped per advise of midwife. My cycles were weird after first Mc ( which was in 9 weeks naturally). First cycle post first Mc was around week longer and I'm sure I didn't ovulate because my pregnancy tests were positive till few days before first period, second cycle 20 days ( also I was doubtful when and if I have ovulated) and in the next cycle got pregnant to lose it at 5 weeks naturally ( in May). So I'm now first post cycle after 5 weeks MC and have ovulated based on CB and OVs which brings my cycle +2days vs average cycles before MCs. I'm 2 dpo now only and I have been already noting some symptoms ( in my head at least ...😂): ecwm and headache today but could have just normal post ovulation thing. But still hahah

Ladies anyone has dreams about babies ? Haha I am thinking so much about it that even in my dreams they show 😂

@Nellle I have also seen other forums where ladies are just nasty to each other... I couldnt understand it and then I found this chat with lovely supportive ladies here

@Jazper 😂 Enjoy the juice

Tesco yup @VP91x, although I think most supermarkets have it. Full day on the Grapefruit juice 🤢 it's a good job you don't mind it 😆
I can't afford a full day on this liquid gold, a glass a day will have to suffice!

Thanks @MichT4, I've just had a look at the Morrison's one and it's 23% Pomegranate juice from concentrate. The ridiculously overpriced one is 100% Pomegranate which is probably why it has the magic seal of approval 😖

@Jazper what aisle was it in? Haha yeah definitely won't be doing a day of POM juice. Will stick to a glass. Yeah, need to lay off the GF juice. Haha xx

@MichT4 bestseller 😂

@VP91x thanks hun yeah all okay .. DH having agg getting his son , ex wife telling lies etc.. long story haha but hopefully get to see my step son soon and it gets sorted xx work is super busy ... dealing with the pup hah so just been go go go. Maybe a good thing I guess keeping my mind occupied but then I really dont want to have high stress levels ! I'm in TWW but I may actually have a glass of wine tonight to relax ... moderation and all. Xx hope you're okay too babe x

@VP91x blimey you're organised with your opk diary there lol .. you should keep that and one day show your rainbow baby the efforts you went to to have them haha xx

@VP91x yes all good over here just in that weird stage waiting for my period to come, my LP has been 13 days the last two month so thinking it will stay the same and I'm 13dpo today which means I get to start a new cycle tomorrow 🙌🏾 how are you getting on with CB? Xx

@Jazper ive got that juice in my fridge hoping it does the job next month 🤞

@Renna yeah I was thinking about how you were getting on, seems like there isn't so many of us from back when I joined, but that is a good thing I guess and it will be our turn soon xx

Ladies, I have a lot of juice questions 😂 so when do you drink grapefruit juice and when do you drink pomegranate juice?
@MichT4 your comment about remortgaging really made me chuckle ☺️ they say it cost around £150k (or something like that) to raise a child but do they count the cost incurred to create that child 😃

@VP91x In the fridges with all the other fresh juices and smoothies. Opposite the milk in my Tesco so shouldn't be far from there.

@SmileyT good luck with the juice! Diverting the subject a little, when did you and @Renna join? It must be nice to still have someone in the group from the start.

@Eli2020 probably the same again 😂

@Jazper makes sense with the concentration. I might have to vary between the two, it’s still more pomegranate than I’ve ever drunk in my entire life!
You know I’ll say that and have a crate of Pom delivered tomorrow 🤣
