AF due 20/08 (thread 3)

[candycrush2298]

continuation from thread AF due 20/06 and AF due 20/07

@Elakiya I think your ambition is great and I think if you were to do like free tutorials with a step by step guide almost like episodes on YouTube you will be able to reach many people around the world and will make a bigger impact than you think. Especially if all your knowledge is fact checked you know

@candycrush2298 so I had also thought about documenting my whole journey, the fertility side, the weight loss side, the hair loss side, the acne side, the excessive hair growth side. But have no confidence to do this all.

Forgot to buy all my seeds yesterday 🤦🏾‍♀️. Got distracted buying hubby a Birthday cake.

I have a list of things I need to start:-

• seed cycling
• raspberry leaf tea
• Conceive plus

List is just getting bigger.

Any plans for the weekend. It’s boiling in London 😂. Perfect whether for another bbq

@Elakiya if you find the confidence people will follow because there are so many people with low confidence and struggling with real everyday problems and by doing these videos you will show them you found the strength within you and then they can hopefully find some within them too. It will be so amazing!! I think you should go for it i will be your first subscriber.

Its super warm here in Scotland as well and we are having another barbecue. I was off today so waxed my eyebrows did a facial. Had a nap. And tonight I will do my nails and foot massage my hills are getting hard again argh (I do all these things myself hahaha talk about cheap) whahaha.
Tomorrow we are going shopping and Sunday we are going to climb Ochil Hills and take photos if the weather is still good. What about you?

Hi all. AF due today according to glow, but not shown up yet and I don't feel like it's coming today. Last night I had light cramping but feel fine today.

I did a FRER on Wednesday night and that was a clear negative so I don't want to test again as I don't feel anything will have changed. I was 13DPO when I tested so surely the FRER would have shown something 🤷🏼‍♀️

@ReginaaPhalange I am glad AF is still away. Lol I would say wait another 2 days before testing again just to not waste the FRER but if you have cheapies go for it lol. And if you implanted late it would still be need time build up HCG. That is why you are never out until AF shows xx

@candycrush2298 I'll leave it till Monday morning then if she hasn't reared her ugly face hahaha!!!

@ReginaaPhalange ooooh i am so excited really hoping she doesnt come by then!!! Because that would make you 16dpo. Oooooh and I will be 8dpo so I can start testing then too whahahaha never been happy about before 🤣🤣🤣

@candycrush2298 I'd be 17dpo which would br producing hcg I think lol!

I think af will appear though over the weekend....

@ReginaaPhalange oh my bad can't count. Hahaha yeah definitely think you should be.

Hope af stays away @ReginaaPhalange

I’m on tons too @Elakiya
Seed cycling
Aspirin
Vit c
Vit b6
Seven seas trying for a baby
And I’m going to buy Brazil nuts too they can help progesterone production

My opks are getting a little darker, defo had low cramps today, sticky Cm a few days ago as I usually do about 5-7 days before ov
Hoping to ovulate by Monday. One app predicts Tuesday, one predicts next Sunday!

I hope you've all had a lovely day in the sun 🌞 we've just had a BBQ too.

Sooo i think i have my peak! I'll do my last CB digital in the morning with fmu.

Sorry to hear AF is coming @ReginaaPhalange fingers crossed she stays away.

@Boc86 ooo brazil nuts? How many do you need to eat? I have a bag in the kitchen!!

What is Raspberry leaf tea supposed to do? I was given that when i was pregnant to bring on my labour as i was overdue!

@candycrush2298 what a day of pampering. Im jealous! I wish i could wax my eyebrows, id probably end up taking the lot off hahaha! Random question, what do you use on your feet? Lol. Im starting to get it too.

@Elakiya i think the channel is an amazing idea. What a lovely thing to do!

@Boc86 wow you are on a lot. Oooh i love nuts whats the deal behind it when should you take it? Yay for getting closer to peak thats fab!!

@Kaybobx yay you tested lol thats great news did it look like a peak?
Ah the BBQ was delicious hope yours was good. I am more of a winter person its why I left South Africa too hot lol so hubby and I overheated today lol.
Lol it was a fab day feel rejuvenated weird but I got ovulation acne so my face isn't looking too hot lol!! I broke out last cycle before AF came and now again its annoying havent really had spots in forever lol.
So I bought a pedicare skin smoother from home bargains for like £3 and then after i have showered when my hills are soft I use it and then afterwards I rub it thick Palmers cream it works wonders after the first time my feet feel amazing and look so much better. I only noticed they were so bad as I wore sandals today and I was like ewww Lol!!

@candycrush2298 its the same colour as the test line not darker. Its my first time using these easy@home tests so not sure if it will get any darker though. Ive never had blazing positives on the other tests its just usually a match.

My BBQ was lovely too. I love summer and the heat. Id move abroad tomorrow if i could. Ok so now im trying to think how your accent sounds, Scottish mixed South African haha!! One of our personal trainers at work is South African and he's soooo good looking too, his accent and soft personality just melts me hahaha!! Dont tell hubby!!

Ugh i hate my feet. I've not painted my toe nails in so long and being back on my feet allday is doing much for them. I need something to put on them after a foot spa lol. Its my birthday next week so treating myself to getting my hair done. Woooo!

@Kaybobx that sounds positive to me then and I heard you may ovulate after your first positive test not your peak which is why your joking theory about me being in between days could actually be true because I think I ovulated the day after my first positive not the day I got my peak. So definitely BD today and tomorrow if you can.

Lol no I was so in the mood to BD this morning now I am so hot its like dont touch me whahahaha!! Lol no I have only lived in Scotland for 2 years I definitely just have a South African accent lol! Lol oooh for the hottie at the gym and its like they always say you can look at the menu as long as you don't order haha nothing wrong with a bit of eye candy lol.

Omg that is amazing!!! I am sure you are so looking forward to your hair appointment. I have my hair booked in for 15th August and I cannot freaken wait i will feel like a new person. I wanted to add getting it coloured but I always get scared you know in the TWW I know there isnt really much harm but I would prefer not to colour my hair in the first trimester I will wait and see if AF comes if she does then I will call the salon and ask if I can add a colour. How do birthday gifts work between you and hubby? Does he just buy you whatever or do you ask for things? Or do you not do gifts at all?

@candycrush2298 we've managed to BD every other day for the last week so i think we will of done enough. Will defo tonight and I'm off work tomorrow so will get one in in the morning hahaha!

Ugh im so hot too! Had the mother in law over all evening and shes just gone so whipped all my clothes off sat under the fan. I like heat in the day but night time is just awful.

Haha of course we can look, we're only human. Hubby blatantly tells me oooh shes fit when watching TV. Always someone that looks absolutely nothing like me aswell haha!

What made you move to Scotland if you don't mind me asking?

Birthdays i usually drop a few hints of what i want and he gets it and i act all suprised haha. His emails are linked to our little ones tablet too and i know its really bad but the silly sod doesn't realise i can see what he's buying hahaha!! (Thank god he can't see my Amazon account!! 100s of £ in ovulation and pregnancy tests!!)

Yeah i get how you feel with getting hair colour. I think its ok aslong as it's not bleech but im not sure. Id barely be anything to affect a baby by next week though so would be ok. What day are you starting to test?

Ooh Brazil nuts, I've got those in the cupboard, I'll need to snack on some!

Got my static smiley on CB digital this morning yaayyy!

@Kaybobx yay thats great then yeah after tomorrow if you did peak today you are most certainly covered hahah. We also Bd'd that much this cycle. How exciting that you are likely entering the TWW by Sunday/Monday. Eeeeep.

Yes of course, hubby and I watch Love Island and we rate the girls and the guys lol!!!

Firstly the weather hahaha and secondly because the country isn't very safe and becuase we wanted to start a family we didn't want to have children there. So we packed up our jobs, sold everything and came over with no jobs and two suitcases hahaaha. Yeah talk about mental. My grandfather is English so we were able to get an ancestral visa which is just a 5year working visa after we have proved we have been working for 5years and paid taxes we will be eligible for indefinite leave to remain and then after another year we can apply for citizenship.

We looked at all four nations, Wales didn't look like it had too many job opportunities as did NI and England just looked too warm 🤣🤣🤣 so we settled on Scotland lol.

Lol thats absolutely brilliant men never look at anything hahaahaha!!! Too funny. Thats so cute. We are usually the same drop hints and hope it works. What have you hinted for this birthday lol???

Mine because its my 30th we hiring a campervan and going up to Skye for a week I cannot wait.
Thank goodness they don't see what we buy they would have heart failure lol!!

Yeah not sure just two minds about the colouring always. And I am going to start testing on Monday but because one of my apps says tomorrow is 8dpo I feel like testing tomorrow lol!!!! Soooooo freaken bad!! I might just test with my horrible one step super thin tests I found I know they are useless and will definitely be negative but at least I will get it out of my system 🤣🤣🤣

@PinkRoseFlower yay told you it was coming!!! So it was flashing for what lik 5/6 days??? You see we stress for nothing i was exactly the same kept freaking out that it wouldn't peak lol!!!

Well I am officially out. AF arrived not long ago. Oh well!

Means I'm out of sync with this group, but I really enjoy chatting to you all - can I stay?

@candycrush2298 I'm literally sat with nothing on and just my tshirt covering me watching tv as its soooo hot. Hubby is usually on his playstation by now allnight but he's sat opposite clearly waiting for something hahaha!!
Im really up for it at the minute, must be the macca root or the heat as this is not like me at all 😂😂😂

Totally random but i watched Oscar Pistroiois documentary a couple of weeks back and South Africa is a complete different world to here with guns etc. Scotland is beautiful, just takes so blumin long to get to haha!!

Ohhhh I'm obsessed with love island!! Literally gutted it not been on this year 😪

Well we're in the process of having the garden done and we have a pergola coming on Monday. When we first chose to have a pergola it was on this garden design insta page that i tagged him in. This had a hot tub inside... I'm 97% sure that's what he's brought as he brought some chemicals on amazon hahaha!!! Ok its kinda for him too but he knows I'd love a hot tub.

Ooo your birthday sounds fab 👌🏻 when is it? My hubby is 30 next year, need to think of something good to do for it.

Omg if your 8DPO test test test! Its just cheapies, they are free sticks of addiction fun remember 🤣🤣🤣

@PinkRoseFlower ooooh our days are the same! We'll be entering the tww at the same time.

@ReginaaPhalange oh no! So sorry! We are all out of sync now but I'm not leaving this thread until we all get our BFPs and then we will have a pregnancy thread altogether 😊

@ReginaaPhalange so sorry she arrived and of course you can stay we all out of sync in this group please stay xx.

@Kaybobx omg the maca really sounds like its doing something to you go and get some girl!!! Hahaha man must be like come on girl gimme some lovin lol!!!!

Yeah that story was huge and yes with guns but so many are trying to get it banned its a whole different world. Much much better way of life. Only thing that sucks is we won't have our family here when baby arrives. We all on our own so after maternity leave childcare is going to kill us hahaha. But its totally worth it.

Aww I didnt want to watch it I am not a reality TV fan but I watched last season and got so addicted. I know i think I am going to watch the Australian one just to have something to watch lol. Have you watched it?

Oooooh omg a hot tub sounds like an amazing freaken birthday present. That would be like the best gift ever and it would finish off your insta garden lol sounds like a win to me.

Lol Scotland is beautiful and its not far for us because SA is so huge driving 8 hours to get somewhere is normal. We would do a 3 hour trip just for a weekend but I know here thats like weird lol!!! People need to plan stops for a 3hr trip 🤣🤣🤣 we have only been as far down as the Lake District and Yorkshire Dale's it was so beautiful!!

Definitely sounds like you need to do some planning for his 30th. Exciting!! Any ideas yet?

Yeah and we dont know if i am actually 8dpo i will probably be more like 6dpo but wth like you say they just freebies lol!! Will test tomorrow but we already know its so going to be negative as I am confident I am not really 8dpo hahahaha!! Monday I think is 8dpo. Will be fun anyway its been a week since I have POAS having some withdrawals🤣🤣🤣

@candycrush2298 haha he never sits with me at night 🤣🤣 i watch what i want on TV and he plays his computer then we usually go to bed together. Tonight as im half naked he wants to chill with me all of a sudden lol.
I love car crash TV. Literally have withdrawals from Love Island. I watched the Aus one last year its a repeat unfortunately. It is good though.

Well im glad you're both happy and safe where you are. I'm kind of the same, not quite as far as you but all of my family live in Birmingham (just over an hour away) so childcare has absolutely sucked for us.
I moved to Derby with work, it was only supposed to be for 3 months to help open a new gym but i then met my husband and never went back home!

Hubbys birthday is a year away yet but an idea... hes always gone to a place called Pefkos in Greece growing up as a child, he stopped going when his dad passed away
but he took me there when we first got together and its actually really nice. Was thinking doing suprise holiday and all his family and friends there when we arrive. But.... if i have a new born baby that won't be such a cool idea hahaha. Maybe some aftershave lol.

Yeah absolutely POAS! Why the hell not. Even when you know it's going to be negative its just feeding our addiction 🤣🤣

Am I allowed to ask where everyone is from lol?

@Kaybobx whahahaha then yeah defjnitley think he is trying to tell you something we are the same. And hubby is also sitting here watching tele with me but its because he has a headache from the heat as both of us are lying so far apart and have that dont touch me vibe hahahaha. Too hot.

Awww what a pity ok if its good I might give the Aus one a go lol!!

Awww what a cute story though!!! Meeting your hubby when you moved thats so cute!! Yeah think the childcare is going to be rough lol.

Wow that sounds like a such a beautiful idea and have such sentimental value really will be so special for him way to go. Ummm might not be the best with a newborn but not impossible and nooooooo 100% no to the aftershave lol!!!

Oh and my birthday is in September so will be much cooler then hahaha.

Oh yes I will be letting you all know its negative but you let me know if yours is darker tomorrow and if you get a static on CB.
