@Cocoblue22 @2alreadywantanother glad it's not just me 🤪 I also get hungry and think is this implantation when I'm not even sure I ovulated 🤦🏾‍♀️ @Katao last time I found out I was pregnant I was coming up to 6 weeks but my boobies were on 🔥 and never get that around period so it's just wishful thinking x

@blodyn91 I'm such a sad case I went back over the last 3 months and put my RHR in so I could just see the charts 😂

@Franklydear try not to read into it too much, as impossible as that is, as everything could be a sign that period is coming or that your body is changing for pregnancy, hopefully the latter x

Never in my life have I wanted PMS but now I'm thinking maybe I don't have enough progesterone as I have a couple days when I feel more tired and hungry but apart from that I get nothing if I wasn't tracking period I'd have no clue when it was coming, but I'm taking all the supps you've talked about today for progesterone 🙄

@SmileyT thanks, still firmly on the camp of test when late, as you say I had all sorts of symptoms before, including sickness and boob so big my bra wouldn't fit properly, I just hate waiting in general, and for this is worst, I never had PM's symptoms before ttc, but being on the pill except when pregnant since late teens, first pregnancy was on the pill, early MMC, and the second I just stopped taking the pill for a couple of months to see what happened, luckily ds did, this time is proving much harder, but he is 10 and I am a lot heavier, I am starting to wonder all sorts of bullshit too ...

Franklydear · 02/07/2020 17:48

And DH reminds me I used to have horrendous periods before going on the pill, in my teens

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/07/2020 17:56

@mumof23188 testing early just messes with my head as then I obsess over it and convince myself that the bfn will turn bfp and then when it doesn't it's crushing. It's like a little game of torture that I'm no longer willing to play 😂
Wet is good tho! Get dtd that girl 😏

@Franklydear the pill is so good for keeping pms at bay, I miss it 😂 although this cycle I've not been as irrational, moody and my face has not broken out in spots. I have had headaches, bloating, diarrhoea, and the heaviness down below feeling so still thinking af will show tomorrow!

Minster2012 · 02/07/2020 18:01

@smileyT you don't get any signs of periods? God I've never had them for like 19 years & im currently finding this horrendous I have to say. If it's like this every month 😬🥺

Mococo1 · 02/07/2020 18:04

@smileyt same! On the pill is was just the usual period spot for me lol that's why I'm on this increase progesterone flex! Hoping my supplements are doing the trick. My left ovary is twinging so expect il ovulate in a couple of days

@notyetamumbuttrying I miss the pill keeping symptoms at bay and my skin! Otherwise it's a horrendous thing and i will never go back on it again! Hopefully af doesn't show for you

DH has just asked me to send him a calendar invite for tonight 😂🤣 is it weird I've got turned on by him trying to schedule in a sex session despite him being injured hahaha.!? il have to be cowboy on top and see how we get on👍🏽

LV1987 · 02/07/2020 18:13

Hi everyone!

@Mococo1 that would get me going too... Mate, these days most things do 😂😂

For those talking about the pill and PMS... I was consistently grouchy on the pill, like constant PMS. My actual PMS around my period is worse now, but I'm a much nicer person for the rest of the month now, so I'll take that :)

Still registering between 0-9% on OPKs today, but getting more crampy and greasy so I think it's coming 🤞🤞

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/07/2020 18:20

Thanks @Mococo1 I wont go back on it until I'm done having kids. I found the 28 day one where you constantly take it, worked best for me.
Enjoy your riding cowgirl 🤠

@LV1987 my pms is much worse now too, I was fine on the pill. I think I'm the only one that misses it 😂

I'm just sat patiently for darling hubs to finish working so he can make our dinner 😆 poor man. I've put a wash on at least tho, suppose I'll do the washing up too. I kinda have a live in chef, he loves cooking and I love eating lol!

Franklydear · 02/07/2020 18:24

@notyetamummybuttrying, my DH used to be a chef too, I've cooked more in this lockdown, being at home, that in 20+ years of marriage

Minster2012 · 02/07/2020 18:39

@LV1987 my SIL was horrendous on the pill. Like she devil. She's much more chilled now which she puts down to not being on it. Or maybe she just has her way & has a child now 😂well, 2 in 15 months fertile b😖what symptoms of PMS did you get?

I feel so weird

Vil10 · 02/07/2020 18:41

@Blodyn91 I want to test tomorrow now😩😂

@LV1987 @notyetamumbuttrying @Mococo1 @SmileyT I still got signs even when on the pill! Got period pains tbe morning of then I started in the afternoon every single time was like clockwork, I got to the point I could guess to pretty much the hour! I had bad periods before I was on the pill though, really heavy and painful but now they're a bit painful on the first day and heavy but fine after that!
Speaking of periods I have a really bad feeling mine symptoms are starting, I think I deffo just had an af cramp and headache😩😩 I think I'm going to test tomorrow morning at 11dpo!

SmileyT · 02/07/2020 18:43

@Franklydear yeah stick to your guns about the testing... x

@Minster2012 I've got to say I found coming off of contraception it was more fucked up but haven't been on hormonal contraception for over 5years so think I've lost the extremes 🤷🏾‍♀️ obviously I'll be one of these dicks that says that and then gets the worst PMS next month 😂

@Mococo1 exciting you are nearing ovulation 🙌🏾 and no it's always a turn on when you can tell that your OH is as invested as you 🥰

@LV1987 crampy and greasy 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying you really are the kelly to my Beyoncé 💁🏾‍♀️ my OH does all the cooking, his dream job is to run a restaurant and honestly loves it, but tbf he does the washing up too because he is against dishwashers. My OH isn't home from work until 8 and I'm like what to do now 😂 xx

LV1987 · 02/07/2020 18:47

@Minster2012 mood wise, I defo relate to the she devil thing! When I started managing people at work, I ended up having to see a counsellor because of how shit I was with people - just really snappy, short and impatient. I could tell that I was being awful and unreasonable, but just couldn't stop it and really didn't like me. I can still be like that now, but I reserve it for stupid people 😂. Symptom wise now, I get crampy in the couple of days leading up, and start to feel the old irritability come back, but that hangs about for a couple of days rather than being my permanent temperament like it was before

Newbie0818 · 02/07/2020 18:48

My periods are actually a lot lighter and less painful than when I was on the pill funny enough! And it really affected my mood BAD. Glad I'm off it but I do miss the regularity of the cycles 😒

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/07/2020 18:50

Ooh I'd love it if he was trained chef, he's just an amateur 😂 @Franklydear he best not know I said that, he'll stop cooking for me 🙈
@Vil10 periods are literally the devil, I hate them! Mine are sooooo painful and day 2 is heavy for me. The rest are medium I'd say and then light on day 5. I get all sorts of weirdness on day 1 and 2 tho. Pain all over my body, I have to take about 💯 painkillers just to get through the day 😫
Haha yes @SmileyT 💁🏾‍♀️weirdly we have a dishwasher and NEVER use it, think it's been used twice since we bought the place 3 years ago lol! I think cos neither of us grew up with one, it's just so alien 😂 I bet that'll change the minute we have kids tho! It'll never be off 🤣

Franklydear · 02/07/2020 18:56

@notyetamumbuttrying I only cook when he is not home, it drives him mad when I don't do things correctly, think slicing veg, he likes cooking at home, cooking in a professional kitchen is very stressful, so much that I was never allowed to visit, apparently made it worst

Minster2012 · 02/07/2020 18:58

@LV1987, @SmileyT & @vil10 I'm not talking moods for me, deffo for SIL tho, DH has said I've been lovely, but this sick feeling is awful (queasiness it is) but only afternoon /evening & cramps off & on in afternoon for 3 days now & headache in evening now & feeling hot.

Dr google says classic PMS symptoms & I've got creamy CM so that's like leukorrhea
All this before the actual AF means feeling crap for well over a week every month WHATTTTT????

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/07/2020 19:03

Haha bless him @Franklydear I remember how stressful kitchens were when I was teenager doing waitressing and porting. I was always getting shouted at by a chef 😂

Shit ain't it @Minster2012 how comes you're only experiencing pms now? What have I missed?

DKDK123 · 02/07/2020 19:08

@LV1987 I can totally relate with the pill. I came off one after 6months as it turned me batshit crazy I felt like I had constant rage and everyone and everything pissed me off the whole month. After I had my son I tried going on a different pill as id had a c section and knew it would be dangerous falling pregnant within the year (ha ha if only it were that easy now!) But only lasted about 3/4 months on that pill and the same I was a complete nightmare and had to stop it. Funny how it really helps calm some people and turns others into psychos!

Minster2012 · 02/07/2020 19:16

@notyetamumbuttrying ive never had periods before since I was 17 I've been on depo til I was 26 at which point I was diagnosed with stage 3 skin cancer & started chemo/immunotherapy during which it came back & went stage 4, & I've been on basically ever since (36 next week) where you have to be on hormonal contraception (depo) to continue. We have had 2 breaks to collect eggs/make embryos for IVF on medical grounds which I couldn't carry at the time as I couldn't stop my chemo til last year so 2.5 years ago my best friend carried our son as a surrogate. When off depo to do that my periods didn't return. Off since last may, Nov I had one period & we used it to start IVF again with me, it worked & I had missed miscarriage in March.

So hence why I'm here for shits n giggles as I know my fertility is screwed but when in lockdown I might as well try naturally 😂before we do IVF again (we are waiting on AF & we will)

These buggers won't let me go though so I will still be here updating you guys

So I don't really know what periods are like in adulthood for me 🤔😳

Minster2012 · 02/07/2020 19:18

Maybe I'm here to provide the 💩 & giggles 😹

SmileyT · 02/07/2020 19:22

Good luck for testing in the morning @Vil10 🤞 are you testing again tomorrow @Katao ?? And are you going to give the POAS a go @Minster2012 ??

Anyone else testing?

@notyetamumbuttrying I just ate a bag of squashies no washing up with that 😂

And @Minster2012 my periods are fucking awful like I think I should actually see a Dr but don't get anything beforehand then the first two days I'm in agonising pain to the point I try not to schedule meetings but when I was exercising it did help a lot, which I know you do anyway 🤷🏾‍♀️and yes please provide the giggles plus I'm so interested in the IVF journey so really want you to join and share with us x

@notyetamumbuttrying @SmileyT omg how do you not use your dishwasher. If there's one I will use it if there isn't I'm not bothered 😂 but it's OHs job to load and unload 🙈

ALSO decided that I'm getting myself a kitten. If I can't have a darn baby I'll have a baby cat instead🥰

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/07/2020 19:30

Oh I see @Minster2012 I knew part of your story but clearly not all. I understand now, thanks for sharing again. I love that you're hear! It's nice having the constant names since the May bus! 👍🏾

Hmm yum squashies! @SmileyT I've just had a club 😂 seems we both get bad periods then. I'm doubled over in pain most months 😫

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/07/2020 19:32

Oh wow @lucyrp! A kitten would be sooo cute! You have to send pics once you get it!!
