Tag anyone else from the group I've not got.

Ohhh strange @AnxiousAnnie86 !
I'm on day 5 of flashing, but only CD13, so would have expected my static today really.
Been very stressed though with work and taking on an extra course, aswell as pressure of TTC so I dunno if that will affect ovulation.

Hey @Spinksy9 , how are you getting on?

Chlo2701 · 03/10/2020 09:24

Hey ladies, I've been quiet as I'm sooooo fed up this month with it all, mainly because I have no idea what's happening & when I ovulated, as I've had 2 dips in my RHR. I did write a comment on the RHR thread, asking for advice & explained my situation & posted pictures, but some of the ladies said they're not really sure, so I'm hoping someone will come along today & have an answer for me🙈 I can't be bothered to write it all out & explain it all again🙉
Anyone upto anything interesting this wknd? Even my life is boring atm as got nothing interesting going on😆
@AnxiousAnnie86 CD22 & you don't think you've ovulated? You stop with the CB? I thought you were going to ovulate early? Is it this wknd that you're away? X

TheOrangeMonster · 03/10/2020 09:29

@Spinksy9 hello! Hope things are going well for you.
I think we're all still slogging along....@An
xiousAnnie86 have you gone away yet? If you haven't ovulated yet perhaps it'll hold out until you get back?
Speaking personally, I've just started investigation with the doctor, I'm on CD 33 (12dpo), have the sorest boobs (both, usually only get one) I've ever had, it's really quite distracting. But given my luck up til now, it's almost certain to be another cruel trick played by AF.

Last night I had a dream that I took a test and it was positive, which is the first time in a while I've had one of those. Woke up and almost cried, because that's never happened to me, not even for a chemical pregnancy or an accident as a teenager. But then my cat started snoring at the end of the bed, which definitely cheered me up. He snores like a little old man!

TheOrangeMonster · 03/10/2020 09:33

@Chlo2701 I feel very similar to you (though obviously I can't empathise exactly and I'm really sorry about that) - I'm sending you lots of hugs.
My new nurse told me on Thursday that her sister took seven years to conceive - they couldn't work out what was wrong with her. Then one month, her beloved horse got so sick that she started worrying about that insanely instead of worrying about TTC, and the next month she got pregnant.
I'm not sure whether it was a helpful story or not, I guess it gives hope.....
Seeing my in laws later today, they've got an awning in the garden we can shelter under. It's been weeks since we last saw them so it'll be nice for a change.

Spinksy9 · 03/10/2020 09:55

@TheOrangeMonster @Blossom428
I still keep my fingers crossed for you all, all the time! I'm good thanks, 13 weeks today and the sickness is still endless. But just going with it!xx

Chlo2701 · 03/10/2020 10:18

@Spinksy9 the sickness is like nothing else isn't it🙈 people always tell you..... sickness is a good sign of a healthy pregnancy..... doesn't feel like it at the time though does it🙉
@TheOrangeMonster yes I like hearing stories like that love, does give you hope😌 sorry you're feel shitty aswel but good luck with all the tests at the doctors but what would be even better if you got your BFP soon🤞🏻 I hate those dreams, they're soooo cruel aren't they, it shows that TTC definitely plays on our mind 24/7😣 at the time the dream is amazing & then you wake up & reality hits😒 enjoy your day at the in laws x

TheOrangeMonster · 03/10/2020 10:56

@Chlo2701 thanks for your support 🥰 it's good to know we have this little community here who know the struggle.
Sorry you've got nothing on this weekend. Blindfolded baking with OH? Always an interesting experience. (Only one of you is blindfolded.)

Trying4one · 03/10/2020 11:48

6dpo today and today I can't get myself to be positive. Already writing this month off in my mind 🤦 doesn't help that it's raining and I have a snotty nose 😂 just had my flu jab so will probably feel worse later

Spinksy9 · 03/10/2020 11:54

@Chlo2701 omg its awful! Dont get me wrong I am grateful that all is healthy and baby is okay, but my god I feel like death most of the time!xx

TheOrangeMonster · 03/10/2020 12:48

@Trying4one I'm really sorry you're feeling crappy 😟 I know it's so so hard, but try not to get too bogged down in that this at this point in your TTC journey - that way madness lies! I've got my fingers crossed for you!
Hope your runny nose clears up soon. Chocolate, fuzzy blanket, warm bath should do the trick? 😊

Blossom428 · 03/10/2020 13:22

Ohh no... @Spinksy9 sorry to hear you are still having sickness, usually it's meant to reduce in the 2nd trimester.
How did your 12 week scan go? Bet it was so nice to see your little one. Are you going to find out the sex, or have a surprise?
I keep going back and forth - if and when I eventually get pregnant. I'm too much of a planner I think for it to be a surprise haha

OP posts:
Blossom428 · 03/10/2020 13:24

Sorry to hear you've had confusion with your ovulation @Chlo2701 ! I did try track rhr before, but now I haven't worn my fit bit in a while so it's all off.
I've still got flashing smiley on clear blue. I may test later today again, as I do have a feeling I could peak soon! I know it's around cd13/14 so fingers crossed it will!!

OP posts:
Trying4one · 03/10/2020 13:52

@TheOrangeMonster yeah I am trying not to. Made myself a hot chocolate and having a couple of biscuits with it. The pain in my arm from the flu jab is distracting me from the negativity 😂😂😂

Spinksy9 · 03/10/2020 16:42

@Blossom428
12 week scan went well as far as they could see. Screening results take 3 weeks. No we are keeping it a suprise! Husbands only request but quite excited at not knowing xx

Chlo2701 · 03/10/2020 19:09

@Spinksy9 it's lovely to have a surprise, I never found out the sex with my first but did with my 2nd. I think I'd want to know if I got pregnant again, but I'd get them to write it down on paper so I could look at it if & when I was ready🙈
@TheOrangeMonster blindfolded baking with the OH!!! Now that would be funny!! He's too busy working on the house, he's done loads of renovating & I just want it finished, so I just done my usual, cleaning & washing🙉
@Trying4one try & stay positive, don't write this month off! Hope you get over your cold quickly, it's really doing the rounds atm!
@Blossom428 did you test later on today & get your peak? What made you take your Fitbit off & stop tracking RHR? Did you find you became obsessed with it? Because I bloody have!🙈🙉x

Blossom428 · 04/10/2020 00:50

Awww glad to hear @Spinksy9 ! Bet it was just so good to see your little bean in there :)

@Chlo2701 nope No peak yet either... fingers crossed in the morning, as I find it hard to BD during the week as OH is so busy and stressed with work!! Ermm, I'm not sure why I took my Fitbit off tbf, I was getting a bit confused with the rhr so ended up giving up haha! I haven't gone wild with temping either, just literally on the days leading up to ov to make sure I know when I have.

AnxiousAnnie86 · 04/10/2020 07:38

Hey ladies sorry for delay, I'm away this weekend so been trying not to think about it, I started testing again for ovulation abs still not static,

@Blossom428 this is a lot of flashing for you isn't it?

@Chlo2701 genuinely so crap isn't it when you just don't know where you are at!!!!! It would be easier if you knew

Blossom428 · 04/10/2020 08:29

FINALLY got my static! I keep reading up about the pre seed and can't decide whether to use it or not!! Parabens it contains and people say this is bad- utter minefield!

@AnxiousAnnie86 glad you are trying to keep your mind off it, probably what you need this month!! Hope you've had a lovely weekend

OP posts:
TheOrangeMonster · 04/10/2020 11:04

Bollocks. Back to Cd1 over here. 😢

AnxiousAnnie86 · 04/10/2020 11:09

@Blossom428 tbf, I think it's coming today. I have the normal feeling i get, maybe will get a static tomorrow xx

@TheOrangeMonster oh nooooooo I'm so sorry! Xx

Blossom428 · 04/10/2020 15:41

Owww sorry to hear that @TheOrangeMonster :(
Try do something fun this week to take your mind off things!! x

OP posts:
TheOrangeMonster · 04/10/2020 16:59

Thanks @Blossom428 @AnxiousAnnie86
I'm ok really. I mean, let's be honest, there's obviously a fertility issue here, and I'm now being investigated properly, so with any luck we will get the help we need now 🙂 going to take a few days off anyway just to reset again.

bwfcchick88 · 04/10/2020 18:32

Hi ladies, started spotting again today but had AF like cramps so think we finally have a period.. definitely still going for my blood test in a few weeks though as I'll hopefully find out why this one went weird! Annoying xx

bwfcchick88 · 04/10/2020 18:33

Sorry to hear that @theorangemonster, take care and do something nice tonight x

TheOrangeMonster · 05/10/2020 14:37

Well ladies, I have hormone trouble. Mad high prolactin and testosterone. Apparently this can prevent fertilised eggs from implanting. Awaiting results of my second blood tests today and then I guess the doctor will advise me on the next steps.
