Yep what a headfuck! @Katao I hate being off the pill too as I'm a head case most of the time 😂 the pill helped that and now my hormones can just ravage me, not fun one bit. Christ you can tell I'm coming on, I've been on a right rant tonight. Sorry for being a Debbie downer peeps!

Minster2012 · 30/06/2020 22:30

If you lot all f**k off to a BFP Facebook group I will stalk you & pop up & be like "er I'm here, silently, with my nice floorboards & empty chocolate wrapper I've scoffed tonight, empty tea mug & YES THAT PEN IS TO FIND YOU JUNE JULY BITCHES" in a supportive way of course 🥰💕

Remember that sarcastic tone

😂😂😂 calm down @Minster2012, think the chocolate has gone to your head 😛
@notyetamumbuttrying really? I actually love being off the pill. Feel like it's the real me even if that means pms and all.
@Busybee143 aw sorry to hear about af, that seems really early.

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/06/2020 22:37

I won't be in a BFP group don't worry 🤪@Minster2012 I'll have to keep you guys updated with the docs. Gonna hassle them again next month and make them see me lol!

lucyrp · 30/06/2020 22:37

Also I'm kitten sitting tomorrow night well I say sitting she's coming for a sleepover with Auntie Lucy 🥰

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/06/2020 22:38

Oh no I hate it @Katao I loved being full of synthetic hormones 😂

Sausage1990 · 30/06/2020 22:47

@Katao I couldn't agree with you more, it's a relentless waiting game and feels totally out of your control. But I am so glad this thread exists and this lovely group of people have all come together 💕

I've been reading the last few pages of messages and I don't know who to reply to lol I was nodding along like the Churchill dog in agreement with so many of you about so much. Hahaha

@Ltay2 good luck tomorrow lovley 🤞🏻 for you. Xx

@lucyrp I feel for you and your long cycle, my last cycle was 61days long and it felt never ending. Mine was stress related and this cycle has calmed down now thay I've worked on that, so I hope you have a straight forward solution to your cycle too (unless I've missed something like pcos in previous threads while I was taking my few weeks off and if so then I apologise) 😘

I'm really torn as to when to test. I've had fairly creamy/dry cm for 1-2 days but today it's gone very watery again. I know this can be a sign that af is on her way & dropping progesterone... But it could also be a good sign. My LP is usually 12days so I think I'm. Still guna plan to test on 13dpo which is Saturday but Jesus this is guna be hard.

I don't feel negative in saying I don't think it's my month I think it's just self preservation. I don't want to get my hopes up. And i already am... So I can't think too positive or it will be even more crushing if af arrives. Maybe that's just me haha xx

SmileyT · 30/06/2020 22:49

@Vil10 @Katao @Ltay2 yeah 100% agree I love that I'll be genuinely happy to see everyone get their BFPs but actually sad to see some of you go. And we're at a good pace for me now when it was a thread every 2 days that became hard to keep up with around work 😂

@Minster2012 I didn't think it sounded belittling at all it's just different journeys, I'm in a post MC group and it's great but just different stories and worries in there. Real question is what number choc was it?

@Juno231 I've only been trying since MC in March so this is 4th cycle I think the other 3 cycles I ovulated as I had a clear temp shift and drop day before or day of AF x

@lucyrp me and you would love a FB group so we can nosey at everyone then get a tour of the UK going, I actually met some really good friends through some random weight loss group on FB and live all round the country but talk most days. The girls in June group went off to a fb group sad I don't see so many updates 🙈

@Busybee143 ahh I'm sorry but onto to the next cycle and maybe another shot for July? xx

Juno231 · 30/06/2020 22:55

Fb group sounds like a dream! Would be so tricky remembering who's who though 😂. Love a little nosey though 🧐

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/06/2020 23:02

Not just you @Sausage1990 I'm exactly the same! You need to protect yourself from the impending disappointment don't you. If you're too positive and it still comes you're just like wtf, what was all that positivity for then 😂
@Juno231@SmileyT I'm in a fb group from one of the other threads on MN. Only 19 of us but it's really nice. I love a group so would be up for joining another if/when it happens. If I perk up by that point of course 😆

Busybee143 · 30/06/2020 23:12

@SmileyT
Deffo going for July, i bought some seeds today but I still need sunflower and flax ha!

Minster2012 · 30/06/2020 23:15

Oh no @Busybee143 that's super rubbish, lots of hugs

@smileyT I was on that MC thread for a while too back in March-April until it dropped off my threads 🥰I hope the ladies got lots of 🌈it wasn't one of those numbers, it was a bar called Tony's. Proper chunky stuff. Mmmmm
I agree this is a nice pace! I was nodding too @Sausage1990 😂

Off to sleep now night ladies & good luck @Ltay2 🤞🏻

Minster2012 · 30/06/2020 23:18

@juno231 it's funny you should say that Cos I was talking to one of my (now) friends I met on MN IVF thread from DS 3 years ago & said "remember (then the username) she's on her 2nd child I've found out" & it made us laugh as we couldn't remember each other's usernames where it all started 💕😂

2alreadywantanother · 01/07/2020 00:29

So we are in July so I wanted to sprinkle some baby dust on us all.
Xx New month with plenty of BFP xx

SmileyT · 01/07/2020 05:34

One of the ladies in another group posted this about the TWW last night and really did make me laugh;

This tww is like a Boris Johnson speech... test! But DONT test! If you don't, don't obsess, but DO think about it all the time. Don't test! But perhaps you should test... 😂🤯

@Minster2012 love the sea salt Tony's 😋

Good luck testing @Ltay2 and @Amy00 ❤️

Franklydear · 01/07/2020 06:13

@SmileyT I think that sour the whole process for me ... what's Nicola spurgen view on this?

Madz123 · 01/07/2020 06:45

BFN today at 12dpo so I'm definitely out and just impatiently waiting for AF now 😕 only been using OPKs this cycle, any suggestions of what else to do? What seeds/juice and when?- so confusing aha. Trying to be positive but not really working 🙄

@Amy00 you still testing today? Good luck if so!

KateColx · 01/07/2020 06:52

Morninngggg,

After a very restless nights sleep due to worrying about an 8am presentation, I think the 'symptoms' I've been spotting are probably just due to anxiety over work 🤷🏼‍♀️ stomach pains, headaches, sicky feeling etc. will probably all calm down come 9.30, so I'm back to not worrying about POAS 😂

@Katao good work on the no testing, did you manage to resist this morning? I'm going to try and hold out now, although I ordered some FRER yesterday which will arrive today sooo haha.

@Minster2012 really hope all the timings work out perfectly for you 🥰

@SmileyT the Boris speech made me laugh 😂😂 it's so true! I even notice when I reply to people in one comment I'll be like no you should defo hold out to test and then to someone else I'm like yeah I'm probably going to test 3 hours after DTD 🤗😂

Hope you all have nice days, roll on 9.30 when this presentation will be done 😩

lucyrp · 01/07/2020 07:13

@Sausage1990 no no you haven't missed anything I literally have no answers as to why this cycle would be so long. I don't feel like I've been stressed this cycle if anytning im worrying it won't go back to normal next cycle slightly because I'm back at work so I will actually be stressed which might impact it even more😫 the only thing it could be is that it's just a messed up cycle after my CP but also confused as I'm sure I pin pointed OV on cycle day 15 so who knows

@SmileyT I would literally adore that I'd spend my evenings trawling through everyone's profiles like ooo that's their OH and that's their DC 😂 ohh is that why there's not actually that much on the grad bus thread anymore ? I do have a look most dats but there's hardly any comments on there anymore. Sad ☹️the Boris Johnson speech made me laugh😂

@Juno231 who doesn't love a good nosey!

Newbie0818 · 01/07/2020 07:13

Good luck with your presentation @KateColx ! Nerve wracking.

Newbie0818 · 01/07/2020 07:14

Does anyone know when temp should drop back down to below cover line? Is it when spotting starts or when you get into full flow?

lucyrp · 01/07/2020 07:14

@Madz123 oh no sorry to hear about your BFN but it still might be too early I have my fingers crossed for you 💕

Ltay2 · 01/07/2020 07:19

@SmileyT that's a perfect summary speech 😂

@Madz123 So sorry for BFN but good that you're positive for next cycle! Currently I use OPK cheapies, I'm taking COQ10, Vital DHA, Folic Acid and Vitamin D. If unsuccessful this time I'm going to add Evening Primrose Oil next time for added CM.

@KateColx Good luck with the presentation!

I will be testing in about an hour. Had a terrible sleep been awake since 3.30am with emergency work calls. Also will only have about 3 hours hold of urine with being up so early couldn't hold it in 🙈

JustMouse · 01/07/2020 07:23

Taken me a while to catch up again this morning. I haven't made it past 9pm for the last 2 nights. Normally I can be a bit of a night owl.

I'm now 9dpo, so just waiting for AF to turn up. My temp has dropped a little over the last 3 morning, although it is still above temp line.

Starting to have to work more days in school now, slowly being told about changes for September and that has left me rather stressed and unhappy. Part of me wants to look for a new job but the best thing would be a positive test to know I would be leaving and dropping them in it big time.
