AF due 20/08 (thread 3)

[candycrush2298]

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

@candycrush2298 its so different holding your own baby anyway. It just comes natural whereas someone elses you feel all fiddley as its so fragile lol.

How you feeling this afternoon? Anymore tests or cramps?

@Kaybobx awww I am sure it is!! Youre making me want this even more than I already do lol!!

No more tests will test again in the morning. I was having cramps for the last like week almost on one ovary or the other and back ache and very sore boobs but its all gone now thats what happened last cycle and we all know how last cycle ended.

Are you feeling confident about this cycle? Like do you think this could be it??

@candycrush2298 That's adorable make sure you hide it well otherwise hubby's going to find it and think you're already pregnant (which you could be this month but best to not let him find it yet)

@Kaybobx Ah you work as a manager at the gym. Why do you have to wake up at 4.30am then? I thought you were a PT and that's why you had weird shifts.

@Elakiya thank you I think its adorable!! Yeah i have hid it in my draw that has my pj's he never goes in my clothes cupboard 😂🤣

Is anyone else as crazy as me and has TONS of baby clothes and other bits and bobs?
I don’t need to buy a thing for the first 3 months
I have small baby, newborn, 0-3, dummies, muslins, bedding, maternity clothes, a teddy blanket toy, 2 blankets 🙈🙈

@Elakiya I have to open and close the building 🤣 we open at 6am and close 10pm hence why my shifts are early or late. Its not just a gym, it has a pool, cafe, creche and spa. I manage the health and safety side of it. I am fitness qualified just not personal training so my knowledge is basic.

@candycrush2298 no i wouldn't say I'm confident, its not happened so far so why would it now 🤣🤣🤣
I hope your ovary pains are a good sign and that baby grow brings you some luck.

@Boc86 oh my haha! You are organised. I haven't got anything.

I’ve been buying for 6 years, I’ve so desperately wanted a baby that whole time but not been in the right situations
Now I am and now that I can try till my hearts content I’m struggling to conceive 😭

@Boc86 nooo I didn't want to jinx it but just bought the first item lol!!! But no wont buy anything until I am actually pregnant lol!!! I am too scared it never happens and we end up adopting and then its not a baby but a child and we have to donate all the stuff collected 🤷‍♀️

@Kaybobx I know what you mean but I think you have a good shot this month for 2 reasons 1 being all the BD and 2 because you used opks that found your surge to be longer which you may have been missing before. So I am holding fingers and toes for you.

I hope the cramps mean something was going on there but yeah not really feeling it anymore. Think it's game over this cycle for me. Which is OK I am used to it lol.

@candycrush2298 I think i missed the one day we should of BD 🤣 But even still, you do all I've done too and it hasn't happened so meh, who knows.

Was just scrolling on Facebook and found another gadget 😂😂😂

@Kaybobx you know you've been googling way too much about fertility when those are the ads you get on facebook lol!

@candycrush2298 It's not over until it's truly arrives. That gives us 5 more days I think? How is the graph looking.

Hello everyone can I join again? I posted last month but then got my AF and felt a bit down. But have still been reading the thread! I'm about 6dpo but don't track on anything just go by body and AF should be here by next Friday I believe (although I'm hoping not)

Advice needed please help ... I'm confused my period is between 7-10 days late I have take 2 tests and they are negative... my periods every month and between 28days and 31 days ... what could it be ??

@indecisivewoman81 awww hun ... there is always a positive way to look at AF. Some people get AF every 3/4 months at a time. Getting AF once a month is great, because it means you can start trying again. I know that probably doesn't make you feel loads better but keep being optimistic and one day it will happen soon. Are you trying to conceive your first? So your AF is due tomorrow. That sounds like a very short LP? Are you sure about the 6dpo?

@amc2018 It could be many things: weight gain, weight loss, change of diet, stress etc? Did anything different happen this month? Are your cycles quite regular?

@Kaybobx whahahaha!!! That looks awesome!! I am going to Google it hahaah love gadgets lol.

Lol if you did miss it I am sure the day before would have covered you lol!!!

@Elakiya charts look the same as yesterday same temps so we will see when it drops. When it drops then we know for sure all hope is lost. And i don't mean a little fluctuation because I get loads of those but I mean like below the cover line drop. How are you doing? You OK after the spotting? I suppose the positive about spotting is that you know you ovulated - not an ideal way to confirm it lol but confirmation none the less lol.

@indecisivewoman81 sorry you were feeling down. At least you are almost through the two week wait. Have you considered tracking at all? Or has your method worked for you before?

@amc2018 if your pregnancy test was negative how did you confirm ovulation? The chances are you may have had a failed ovulation and your body tried again which means you not actually late yet. You could still possibly be pregnant but a lot earlier than you thought. Otherwise you possibly didn't ovulate at all. There's many reasons though. I would call my doctor if it gets to two weeks late and no positive pregnancy test.

Thank you! So I normally record my period I forgot last month .. the last one I recorded was 23rd may to 28th may and then I had a period in June possible I know I was no my period on the 7th July I had finished my period by then.. so across the two months it's been 11 tomorrow I know I have been in this cycle 5 weeks plus going into my 6th week ... so confused xx

No weight loss or gain still the same ... my period are normally every month just can differ from 28day cycle to 31 day cycle xx

@indecisivewoman81 @amc2018 i agree with everything said above. Unfortunately us women are stupid complicated.

@Elakiya haha i know right. How you feeling this evening? Has your spotting stopped?

@candycrush2298 i hope i didn't miss it, he won't be getting that much again next cycle if it hasnt worked haha!! We are going to do his home test tomorrow as it will be 3 days build up so will keep you posted.

Someone asked about the acupuncture earlier, i forgot who it was and didnt reply sorry. Basically she said its best to wait until hubby has had his tests done because there's no point doing it on me if its him that has the issues. She suggested us both having it if his tests are all good too.

@amc2018 since you don't use an actual ovulation test or chart bbt or know your bodies symptoms for ovulation there is absolutely no way of knowing when you ovulated and therefore have no way of knowing when your period is due. Your period start date is based on the day you ovulate.

@Kaybobx eeeep yay for the sperm test is he nervous for it? Are you nervous at all?

@Kaybobx it was me that asked about the acupuncture. Spotting went away after an hour or so, it’s very light I only see if it if I wipe. Been grilling my doctor friend about it who thinks I need to stop using doctor google lol. But I did find a post on a fitness forum from another girl who has PCOS and she said she has exactly the same thing. I’ve been watching PCOS fertility success stories on YouTube.

@candycrush2298 Yh like you say at least I can say yep I have ovulated. If you do get AF this month at least you get a full cycle recorded and if you continue to bbt chart but still no pregnancy you can take it with you to your gynae along with LH tracking. This is all such useful information for them.

@amc2018 my ovulation changes each month. I even had 3 days of a peak this cycle!

@candycrush2298 hubby doesn't seem bothered, im abit nervous though. If something is wrong he will be like 'i can't give you what you want, your blaming me, blah blah blah. I know what hes like.
But... we have a child already, hes 28, i can't see anything being wrong. I think the main issue is I've only been using OPKs 4 months and 3 of those were with those cheap useless things! Before that i was using glow predictions which i now know its a whole week difference lol

@Elakiya at least the spotting isn't too long and not a lot. Do you feel like your learning things from the YouTube videos? I feel like I learn loads when I watch YT lol.

And yes definitely which is the whole reason I got the CB monitor so they can see it all plus these apps are great for downloading your whole BBT chart. And yes will be great to have a chart to look back on even though next cycle i will definitely temp vaginally so there aren't so many fluctuations.

@Kaybobx thats what i feared so much my hubby would be exactly like that and started to blame himself which is the whole reason I got the test to put his and my mind at ease while we wait on the NHS.

Hopefully its all good news and he will feel better and you can relax xx

@Kaybobx at least you’re now on the right path with the easy@homes 😂. I’m sure you’ll get pregnant again very soon 😁. We did a month or two a while ago based on the flo app. It was also a week out. Can’t believe I thought I could just BD on its fertile days and get away with it.

Is it just me or does anyone else hate those threads where people post a blantantly obvious pregnancy test and say is this positive? Like there are 2 thick bold lines! Why is this a question. Sorry usually I love line eyes threads but there have been a couple where it’s so obvious

@candycrush2298 have you got any idea when your hubbys appointment will be or are you just awaiting a letter?
I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

@Elakiya I love these easy@home tests. Although the 3 day peak wasnt so cool haha. Finally feel like i understand my cycles abit more now though.
So glad i have you guys to help with knowledge and testing.

Oh my god! Absolutely! I was on glow earlier and seen soooo many 'can you see anything?' Blatantly a positive test! I get people are excited but come on man! I always just put a face palm emoji 🤣

Is anyone else on glow? Some of this questions on there make my night.
So my bf dry humped me, he cum in his pants, can i get pregnant through our clothes. Yeah hun, or course you can lol

@Elakiya I get freaken livid when its a really strong positive and they ask I feel like replying are you blind but that's mean so I don't so I just scroll past. On the premom Facebook group this happens all the freaken time.

@Kaybobx still no idea whatsoever argh so annoying lol!!!

No I am not on glo that is freaken hilarious!!! Omg how brilliant is that!! Wish it was so easy to fall pregnant!!

I am on premom FB there's some funny questions like I have toothache and my husband has cramping am I pregnant?? Like ummmm how are we to know lol!!!

@candycrush2298 Yh 3 day peaks are defo not kl! Especially because you have to consecutively BD in fear of missing the egg.

I’m not on Glow but clearly by the sounds of it every single sexually active 13 year old is on it. 😂
