Update on me CD12 - in FW waiting on ovulation. On Soy Iso this month and doing a (reduced) SMEP approach. 🥰

Anyone else would like to join please do xx

@VP91x don’t let those thoughts creep in. You said about your day yesterday so you might have missed it. As the others said, use your static and temps, I’m sure you’ll get a nice rise soon and all will be well

@SmileyT sorry work was hectic, like you said it’s a nice distraction though. Enjoy a nice relaxing evening. And thank you, half hoping I don’t get to the tests but happy to have them waiting for me if I do. Think that’s a little too hopeful, even though I’m trying to take hope from @Rebecca1992

@HE88 sorry about the spotting, hope it disappears. And thank you, I’m really pleased and relieved

Good to hear you’ll be hanging around too @Northernsoul90 🥰

@VP91x thank you it just seems to be getting more and more frustrating I thought a relaxed approach might have done the trick too! Xx

@VP91x stop leaving me in suspense I want to see a pic 😂 also was going to say earlier I'm the same about people being in the kitchen, ours isn't that big and OH will sometimes try and talk to me in there and I'm like 'why are you in here 😤'

@HE88 so frustrating when we feel like it's the same pattern as previous months but if I've learnt anything from MN it's that nothing is guaranteed so I definitely don't think it's a bad thing to hold onto hope (although I know that can be an annoying thing for people to say if you feel certain you're out) 😕 and I can't complain too much about work, I have a job and it's pretty secure so I try to be positive and grateful x

Thank you @MichT4 just want af to come now and get it over and done with! Xx

@SmileyT I know I do try to have a little hope but the fact it's the same every cycle makes that feeling of hope smaller and smaller. I even went and bought some FRER as well they will be getting kept in their box for now. Xx

@SmileyT 😂😂 sorry!! Just took a quick pic of all the ones from today. It is such a pet peeve of mine, I never understand it. Our kitchen is small too, just room for me to pot around 😅.

@MichT4 yeah need to keep the PMA🙏

@HE88 I can imagine, each month gets more disappointing😔 xx

@VP91x I have never really got on with the cheap ones so I wouldn’t be concerned. I used the cheap ones to confirm it was negative ovulation. As soon as I got a second line on cheap ones even faint I’d try the clear blue digital (I don’t like to waste those as they cost a fortune!) I remember having times where the cheap ones gave me a second line for days and clear blue said no. Hope that helps x

@Pugprincess I have a strained relationship with all OPKs 😂 they are beyond annoying, but thank you it is reassuring xx

@VP91x what order were those taken?

Random question but how are you guys adding photos to your messages, I’m on a phone so maybe that’s why I can’t see an option to add photo.

@Pugprincess under the message box there is a little paper clip, you can add them there

@VP91x been looking closely and maybe I have no logic because they are all very similar, but I reckon if top to bottom is morning to later, I’d say you missed it yesterday 🤔

@Lynz2020 my periods have definitely changed post mc - I too am 36!! We fell pg first try this Jan, and I had a mmc at the end of feb. I haven’t been lucky yet on my cycles that have followed, but now every period starts woth spotting! It vaires from 3-4 days, but it starts around the time you could get implatation bleeding, and I also get sooo many symptoms I had when pregnant, from twinges to lightheadedness - crazy! I’m being fairly relaxed at the mo, but if nothing happens over the summer hols when I should be less stressed, I might try and get the ball rolling woth the GP!

@Lollol86 smep was stressful the time I tried to follow it - we now start on cd11 as I know I ovulate day 14 or 15 (luckily pretty consistent there!)

@HE88 ahh sorry to hear about the spotting - I’m spotting too! Started yesterday - so I think af will be here in about 48hrs, although I’m due fri-sun depending on cycle length! I never spotted before mc, but now I don’t get my hopes up thinking it’s ib!

@VP91x what cd are you again? Nice to see the lines already a bit darker!! The easy@home tests are pretty good aren’t they!

I feel like I should apologise to everyone - I spend my eve catching up on the thread then always reply in a long massive chat - I should break it up more to make it easier on the eyes lol!!

@MichT4 yeah they've basically been the same all day. Morning-early evening top to bottom.

@Bellabubble CD16 today, got my static on CB digi last night. I was crap with the OPKs yesterday as drank loads of water so thinking I missed it on them xx

@Bellabubble thank you sorry to hear you are spotting too. Unfortunately I spotted every cycle before Mc so this is normal for me 🙄. Xx

@VP91x definitely can't see the progression the same way you normally can with femometer ones 🤔 I'd just look out for the temp rise and you've had your peak on CB so you know it's increased 👌🏾

@MichT4 yep just keeping busy. Hopefully you don't need those tests but might help you relax knowing you have them in your back pocket. How was your day? x

@SmileyT today was fine thank you. I felt like I achieved something getting those tests arranged. I am back in the office tomorrow so another day of distraction. Just watching more news girl before bed x

@SmileyT yeah they've been the same darkness all day not faded lighter or anything. Will see what happens with the temps tomorrow, only way to really know! Might order that 21 progesterone test🤔 xx

@HE88 sorry you are spotting. Fingers crossed it’s not AF coming

@MichT4 don’t be feeling like you will be alone. Most of us will stay here. I know if I get a BFP I won’t be joining a pregnancy group for a long time so I’ll be here!

@VP91x oh there is nothing worse when people are staying over and they talk all night and you just want to relax and watch tv! I feel you lol I wouldn’t worry about the cheapies either as you got ur peak on the CB.

I’m back to work this weekend. Looking forward to some normality

Also I’ve just realised that AF is due 2 days before my birthday! How lovely would it be to get my sticky BFP for my birthday! And that would also mean baby would be due around my daughters birthday. Ahh I’m hoping this is a good omen and will be the case!

@fafi have you looked into why your periods are light and your lining or is this a recent discovery

@2020wish thank you I would love it not to be af. Hope you are doing ok? Xx

@HE88 I’m doing better. Taking a step back this month has really helped. I came away from here for a few days and just lurked, picked up another hobbie to get myself away from my phone. And didn’t temp or be obsessive over opks. Only tested 3 days when I felt pain. So I’m hoping it’s done the trick

@MichT4 I don't wanna go anywhere if I get a BFP this is the best MN group ever!!

@chloedancer897 those symptoms sound very much like my pre pregnancy ones last time!! Good luck!!

@VP91x just keep DTD until temp rises, doing it gets you pregnancy not proving it with a stick 😊 I'm feeling super positive about you this month!!

@2020wish I hope you get a lovely BFP for your birthday!

@DBTJ when I've raised light periods with doctors, and nurses doing my scans they never seem concerned at all! So fingers crossed it's not an issue and I've just been unlucky so far.

@2020wish fingers crossed you get a bfp this month 😊 xx
