@Ra1nb0w123 sounds like you're doing the right things to try and track and make sense with what is happening now. Sorry you've had a loss but you'll find lots of ladies here in the same situation and able to support you. Defo a movie, hot water bottle and pj day. I feel like an absolute slob but it's one of those days and need to just go with the flow x

@MichT4 that's a good idea to try and ask as I go along, hopefully they are willing to share!
Yes definitely need to see it as the start of getting answers too. Had a huge wobble this morning but feeling a bit calmer now thankfully.

@MichT4 it's like you are reading my mind ... obviously want to have a BFP right now but also very aware that my anxiety will go sky high if that happens so ignorance is bliss right?! Although, as much as I tell myself not to think about it - it's sooo hard not to. Here's to our will power of not testing... I look forward to following your journey :)
@CasperFlamingo there's no harm OPKing, (except on the bank balance!) Tbh I think it actually gave me something to focus on everyday too X

@MrsK21 everyone deserves a slob day once in a while, enjoy :) I intend to do exactly the same as soon as I've walked the dog!

Thank you for all the ideas ladies ❤️

@VP91x
Mine are 5 and 6. My youngest is really content but the 6 year old needs stimulating ALL. THE. TIME. 🤯😂
Oh the colour in houses in hobby craft are a great idea! I'll pop over and get one and have decided, after spending the morning working, we're baking this afternoon.
I'm so pleased you are making headway with everything, and the GP is working positively too. It's all really good news.

@Lollol86
We're doing a wellie walk later too! I don't think the dog will be too impressed. He's a fair weather hound! 😁 it's tough working from home while juggling child care isn't it? Mine have had to learn to make their own fun some days.

I'm good thank you @Northernsoul90 . I'm at 3dpo today so similar to you. I am due the dreaded af on 8th 😖 not sure if we did enough this cycle as ov surprised me three days early but fingers crossed. And for you as well! You must have been so happy to see your peak eventually 💪🏼

Welcome @Ra1nb0w123 . Sorry for your loss ❤️

@VP91x glad to here doctors apt went well and you got some positive answers from them and a referral 😊 xx

AF should of arrived yesterday but so far nothing, no symptoms either which is odd for me too scared to test just yet can't deal with the disappointment. I'm wondering if my mid cycle bleed has affected my cycle this month 👀

@Jazper my girls are 3 and 7, the 7 year old is generally pretty good, but my 3 year old
Is a typical 2nd child 😂 it is really tough. Both girls are going to our childminder oN a Wednesday throughout the holidays so that will give me a break one day.

@Ra1nb0w123 ahh, I look forward to following yours also. I know what you mean - easier said than done to be cool as a cucumber, let's see how long it lasts.

Question for you all, and most likely my mind playing tricks on me, but does anyone feel noticeably hotter after ovulation? I think it's extremely unlikely that I am aware of ovulation but I just got really hot at work, had to open a window, take of my jumper etc etc. Really unlike me

Am I going mad(der)? xx

@Hayley19835 Are your cycles usually quite regular? Maybe wait a couple of days to see, but might be worth taking a test if it's unusual to be late. The mid-cycle bleed - could it have been IB? Sorry, you've probably been through this with us here xx

@Northernsoul90 thank you so much, yeah I think it's relaxed me knowing like, this month I'll have bloods so if no ovu then I can just wait for AF without questioning any symptoms. Then the following cycle then gynae appt.

Yay to being almost through first week of TWW. I hope AF never returns and you get a BFP🥰

@MichT4 thank you - maybe my body will wise up this cycle and get me pregnant before having to go to my appointment. That's how it works right 👀 xx

@2020wish I'm glad you had a lovely birthday. It sounds like you have some really supportive friends. ❤️

@Tink20058 so gorgeous you are feeling the first few flutters. I'm glad all is okay 🥰xx

@Renna sounds like a fab weekend! Definitely good to let your hair down. Hopefully you can pin ovulation on your normal day this month and Devon will be your lucky charm 🤞xx

@Wishingfornumber2 haha they normally entertain her for about an hour because she's so fickle 😭 I don't think I could have coped working from home and have the LO. Must be so hard. Yes I was doing 2 x morning 2 x evening.

@Ra1nb0w123 welcome ❤️ sorry you had such a recent loss. Positive that you ovulated soon after, I hope you get a BFP this month. So difficult in the TWW as progesterone could be the reason for alot of symptoms also your so soon after your MC that things are probably changing anyway. Fingers crossed for you xx

@MrsK21 I'm sorry you're feeling so nervous 😩 but it's great that you're seeing them today. At least with the scan you can see if there is anything physically wrong straight away. Like @MichT4 ask them for details on exactly what they are seeing and all your options for next steps. Sending you a virtual hand hold and hug. Hope it all goes okay xx

@CasperFlamingo it probably is your AF maybe because of the MC you didn't build up much to get a proper flow. However have you taken a PG test? Xx

@Jazper haha, do they play nicely together? Sounds like you'll have a fun afternoon, honestly don't know how you've been doing it. Super woman 👌. Thank you lovely ❤️

@Hayley19835 thank you 🥰 ah, moments like that are so frustrating. I would definitely say if you aren't too anxious about it to test tomorrow to just know where you are and then maybe OPK in case the mid cycle bleed reset things?

@MichT4 I have always felt warmer in that period after suspected ovulation. Almost like little hot flushes or my feet have felt really warm etc! Hope this is a good sign for you xx

Another positive for today - managed to get Lapland UK tickets 🥳 xx

@VP91x I took a cheapie PG test on Saturday and got a BFN so 🤷🏼‍♀️

@MrsK21 Good luck for your app later, try not to be too nervous and just think of it as a massive step in the right direction. Once you've got the ball rolling you will get some answers soon enough. I agree with @MichT4 and definitely try to get them to scan you and ask what are the possible reasons for delayed af. Let us know how you get on ❤️

@Ra1nb0w123 Thank you! It does make it easier knowing we are all in this together! Xx

@Jazper Yes I was so happy to see a peak! We will hopefully be testing around the same time I should be due af on around the 7th/8th 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@VP91x Thank you! I hope so too that would be amazing! I'm really glad things are moving forward for you 💕 and the Lapland tickets! Bet you can't wait to go xx

@VP91x ooh Lapland! How exciting.

And yes I'm pretty sure bodies are geared up to do what we want precisely when we are about to get some answers, or when we have spent money on something TTC related! Fingers crossed anyway. I'm hoping my blood tests will do that same to me!

I came home and did a bonus OPK, it's now 51 on fem and negative on glow so I'm hoping that's a good sign?

xx

Oh and @VP91x weird about the temp thing. If I get a spike tonight I'm going to feel so (falsely) in tune with my body. Just can't believe what a hot moment I had 😂

@CasperFlamingo will you maybe do OPKs for now just in case? X

@Northernsoul90 yes, so excited to go, I need stop spending money though 😐😐

@MichT4 haha, yes definitely I have bought some Inofolic which is a recommended supplement for PCOS so I thought it would be good to start taking. I won't take any EPO or anything this month. See how it goes!

Bonus OPK 😂 yes that sounds like a good sign! I hope you are in tune, would be great to feel a bit more aligned xx

@VP91x yeah, I'm going to start OPKing from now onwards to see if anything's going on. Bought the femometer ones after the recommendations I got on here previously. Have carried on taking Vit D and Folic Acid on advice of EPU. Not sure what else to take that might help things. Don't want to start rattling like a pea in a barrel! 😂

@VP91x ooh I've not heard of that. Maybe I'll check it out in case mine is back. But then I'll be the pea in a barrel (love that @CasperFlamingo 😂😂)

I just saw this on Instagram and thought of anyone who needed to entertain kids. I might get one for myself

@MichT4 😂 first heard it off the 80+ yr old gentleman we're buying our house from 😂 it's a brilliant saying 😂

@CasperFlamingo that me laugh so much 😂 I think maybe just keep to that this month and see how you go? The OPKs will give you a fairly good indication.

@MichT4 ooh that looks fab! This is the one I bought if you want to look at the info..

Xx

@VP91x thanks for the advice 🙌🏻

Thanks @VP91x

I'm tempted to get it but I haven't had PCOS confirmed again yet. Wonder if it would hurt anyway? Might bring my cycle length down xx

Thanks everyone for the moral support and hand holding! I'll let you know how it goes and fingers crossed I get some answers xxx

@VP91x have you been to Lapland uk before?

@Lollol86 no, I haven't been before but it looks so good! Have you been? X

@MichT4 ooh I'm not sure!! I'll have a little read xx

@VP91x no I haven't been, it does look amazing. I just looked at the cost for a family of 4 🙈 I've just been looking at this. Tickets go on sale in 3 days and I am tempted but just not sure because of Covid.
