Not added anyone that I don’t have dates for but I’ve not forgotten you just let me know when you know you ovulate/ know your test dates ☺️

@lucyrp CD13 today, I had a big AF from 4th to the 8th June, quite a heavy one, 5 full days bleeding, after the first proper cycle of 31 days. Prior to that there were 3 bleeds of 3/4 days each so like proper AFs similar to this with 7 days in between, then 11 days then 12 days in between. I felt like I was bleeding constantly 😔last cycle was a godsend I thought I was over it.
I would still call the doctors to get the midwife to do it for you lovely xx
IVF has to start on day 2 of cycle and can't start until July & until my scans next week are done. So this will put it back to August if it is a period 😥 they will have to scan my ovaries & see what the fuck they are doing & if they are still messed up they won't go ahead

@Sunshine1984 congratulations on your BFP 🎉

@LV1987 sorry to see your BFN! But stay positive and focus on the next cycle - I’m sure I’ll be joining you for the next one as starting to feel crappy like just before AF arrives! We’ll get the BFP when the time is right 😁

Oh and I'm now on day 6 flashing smile on clear blue test today so WTF?? That's why I got so hopeful it was ovulation spotting
Maybe it is, maybe it's just quite a bit of ovulation spotting 🤞🏻& cramping

@Sunshine1984 congratulations!! Amazing news❤️

@LV1987 so sorry for your bfn! It's shit but onwards to next month!xx

So last night my friend who has 3 children dropped in that she had come off the pill but they "weren't trying", but she is the most fertile girl I know, so I just know she'll be pregnant in like 2 weeks, and I'm so happy for her because she's and amazing mum and has lovely children but it's just a bit like 😩 OH told me I was being bitter last night for feeling like that so that pissed me off even more!!

Good Morning ladies catching up again!

I honestly cannot believe some of those stories what awful crap you've had to put up with. I can't believe some men would still behave in that way it baffles me!!

@Sunshine1984 congratulations on BFP 🎉 x

@LV1987 sorry about your bfn but onwards and upwards to next cycle and at least you get to ride this bus with us for a bit longer....silver linings and all x

@chloedancer897 it could still be a bit early maybe test again in two days time and yes to FR they are the best way more sensitive x

@lucyrp you must be so frustrated I really feel for you. What's the plan of action now then? How are you feeling? Can you ring your dr back and ask them to do it and say midwife refused and has been dismissive and it's really upsetting you and causing you stress X

@Minster2012 hmm hopefully it's ovulation! If you're getting the flashing smileys then there's a chance?

I woke up from having a dream I got 2 bfps and one negative I was so bloody excited then realised it was a dream. So annoying 😩🙄

@Minster2012 🤞🏻it is some ovulation bleeding has there been any more since? Hopefully those egg dances you've been doing in the kitchen have worked and there's a perfect egg about to pop out any day now!! Really hoping that's the case for you! What are the scans for? X

@Vil10 it normal to feel that way but don't worry your time will come and I'm sure your friend will be there for you and she should have lots of helpful and practical advice to offer when you have your baby. It's really hard when you feel like that try to be kind to yourself and it's completely normal to feel a bit 'bitter' (don't like that word) when you've been trying so hard and doing everything right and it's still not happened yet. It will though your time is coming keep positive x

Im joining the working in a male dominant environment! Agriculture! I love what I do though, and the company I work for now are brilliant. Farmers/customers are ok with having female nutritionist on farm, they will always ask your background though, which is fair enough.
Previous company was shit though! Bosses boss was sexist, constant crude comments and my boss was definitely intimidated by me because I was higher qualified (but he was on 15k more than me). And they were shocked when I handed in my notice saying I could have gone far and im doing the worst mistake of my career- nope it was the best, you ain't brain washing me.

@Minster2012 I really hope its ovulation!!
@Sunshine1984 huge congrats! Did you do anything different this cycle?
@Vil10 whats this film? Ive missed its name. Need all the help to seduce OH FW!

@Minster2012 that's very weird! i'm hoping its ovulation bleeding for you thag will save a lot of hassle!! i may ring the doctors again today and see what they say x

@Cocoblue22 i have no plan of action i'm still in limbo i really thought something would have happened by now 😫 i'm just very tired at the moment. i'm going to ring doctors now and try get a call back as they're not doing appointments at the moment x

@blodyn91 you go girl! I find the agriculture culture fascinating :) Do you live quite rural then? I went on a shoot in Dec with a whole bunch of pig farmers and it was SUCH a different world to my city/office life in London lol. I had literally flown straight in from a business trip to South Africa though so they were just as gobsmacked by my life as I was by theirs.

@Sunshine1984 holy crap congrats! How long did that take you? is it your first? Brilliant timing with OH's birthday - kudos to you for being able to hold it until Friday!

@sunshine1984 congrataitons on your BFP 🥰🥳

@Juno231 I grew up in the middle of nowhere! So most my family are hill sheep farmers, with a few cows. Turning 17 and being able to drive was a god send! I live in a town atm, met my OH and he had already bought this house, but we are looking to buy our own little farm. I just really want my own chickens and sheep 😆😆
It is crazy the difference in cultures, it is definitely getting bridged though. So much innovation and technology in farming today- robots milking cows, self driven tractors, lazer drones killing weeds etc blows my mind. Its funny because I could not live in London 🙈 I love it for a weekend away, but everybody is so silent on the buses and tubes and everybody rushing everywhere 😂 If you got on a bus here you would end up chatting to at least 2 locals who would later buy you a pint if they saw you in the village pub 😆

@blodyn91 that sounds fantastic to be honest - I think I'd be a lot happier that way! My dream would be to retire early and move out some place like that. Ideally I'd win the euromillions and do it now but alas...

@cocoblue22 the scans are to (hopefully) check my skin cancer hasn't returned anywhere. It's spread previously to my lymph nodes straight away then come back in my lungs & neck so DH & I were never allowed to TTC naturally as I had to be on hormonal contraception to have 7 years of chemo/immunotherapy but it saved my life & turned a terminal diagnosis in dec2014 (that's when he proposed) to all clear....Er sorry mate you're stuck with me. 😂 but it killed my egg reserves. I have scans every 6 months to check it's not back & IVF won't go ahead without the all clear as they won't sign off "it's ethically correct & the right welfare of a child to try to bring a child into this world with a potentially v ill parent" 😥so always a worry

@Minster2012 haha yeah I remember that scene from working moms 😂 and yeah it's nice this isn't all opks and grapefruit juice. I totally agree about the market being buoyant at the moment, I've had loads of people wanting to move and offering on places. Think the banks are just more cautious, although some valuations come in absolutely fine x

@Juno231 tbh I had a valuation for a run down place in west London that came in at asking price yesterday so it just depends but definitely don't give up hope 🙏

Congrats @Sunshine1984 🥳

Sorry about BFN @LV1987 but as you say onwards and upwards to the next cycle (or maybe a surprise late BFP 🥰)

@Vil10 my friend from work, it's only the two of us in the office for 2 days a week has just told me she is 9 weeks pregnant, she had been told she wouldn't be able to have another after her 1st so I'm so happy for her but also so horribly bitter 😫 so I totally understand and definitely doesn't make us bad people xx

I'm booking Barbados today because I'm feeling a bit blue, hope everyone has a good day xx

@Juno231I really need to win the lottery 😂 buying my dream little farm is impossible atm

@Minster2012 Always amazed when I hear your story! So much hope!

@SmileyT that is tough news, hopefully you'll catch soon and you can spend maternity leave together 😁

@lucyrp was reading this today and thought of you... Still hope for you 🤞

@Maybe333 @lucyrp show us your bbt chart! Is temp still over the (imaginary) cover line?

@SmileyT I'm sorry you're feeling blue. You've inspired me to browse barbados hotels as well :) We have lots of leave left and nowhere to go at the moment so would be super keen to book something extra nice in this autumn.

@Maybe333 @Juno231 sorry just popping in as trying to sort something out for work! but here is my chart. it's telling me my cover line is 36.5!

sorry forgot to attach it!

@Maybe333 that's very interesting what you sent! How cruel though😩

@lucyrp it really does look so positive! I really hope you are preggers and by the time you get it confirmed you'll be 6 weeks and can have a scan!

@blodyn91 i know! this is why it's going to be a joke when AF arrives😫 can you imagine thag would be amazing!

also today is my 5th day of high OPKs! wth !
