I'm CD11, waiting for something (anything) to happen this month 😂. Only taking my Inofolic Alpha this cycle and nothing else.

Hope I've tagged everyone xx

@BEESY90 I am exactly like you. I’d probably push it out for a few days lol

@chloedancer897 hi it was me asking about the pregnacare too I think so thank you. I don’t take an omega 3 supplement so I shall order one. I do eat makeral, kippers, tuna and white fish though. My calc Fluor has just arrived from amazon so I shall get straight on that till AF. I’ve been trying 5 years and same as you my one and only pregnancy was a mc. The whole 5 years we haven’t tried every month solidly though, some periods where we gave up and wasn’t having enough sex or timing anything at all. It’s too hard to do it solidly but I am 100% ready in my life to do this now. I had doubts over those 5 years cause we was renting a flat and I didn’t want to get stuck in a first floor one bed with a baby. Now we have bought a house and I’ve finally after a year settled in lol. Then I had job security worries and we moved so far so it might not be easy to have family help us with child care etc. Now I’ve finished both my old zero hours contract type jobs which were unreliable and stressful week to week financially I will just be working the one job-which reminds me hope your first day went well @VP91x
You tempt me with the aspirin but I would have to call my doctor first. X

@SmileyT a little better thank you. Think I’m finding the mornings especially hard because I wake up and think oh crap all this is still real 😩 I managed to do some painting and gardening this afternoon. I had a little more discharge when I went toilet once but nothing on my liner yet and not had anything else for a bit. Just hope it stops. Xx

@Firevie @fafi @MrsK21 @Northernsoul90 thank you ladies ❤️

@MichT4 prepare yourself a brekkie tonight for tomorrow! Maybe some egg muffins? Xx

@Pugprincess sorry you're having a rough time, I think the first month TTC post - MC is always going to be the toughest because you'll be so expectant but, try to be kind to yourself. You've gone through so much, if it doesn't happen this month it doesn't mean it won't happen the next cycle. We must keep our hope if nothing else xx

@CasperFlamingo everything is still probably adjusting so you're usual days will be a little out. Don't worry keep doing OPKs if it doesn't stress you out xx

@SmileyT work was all good! Just all the standard training stuff, meeting colleagues and going through key bits. I came home for lunch and I loved it!! Had a homemade cuppa and something to eat, watched a bit of Loose Women 😂

I'm 1000% jealous of your Barbados hols😭 can we tag along? Haha.

McChicken Sandwich with sweet and sour sauce is 🤤🤤. Is she one of those managers that make situations more stressful than necessary? How was your day? Xx

@Northernsoul90 dont panic, now that you know you've ovulated your cycle will have regulated, hopefully you get a BFP but if not then I'm sure your cycle will be okay and AF won't be too late. Hope you're okay. Sending you a big hug 😘

@Firevie Vienna sounds lovely!! Hope you have a great time xx

Ladies, I need telling off. So, I've been getting loads of EWCM I'm not checking for CM internally there's just alot when I wipe but not even anything interesting coming up on an OPK. BUT, I just can't be bothered to initiate having sex 😫. I think I just have it in my mind that I most likely wont ovulate so what's the point. I'm being completely unreasonable aren't I? Xx

@Pugprincess we were the same. I wouldn't say every month we were actively trying but not preventing. Sounds like your diet is great! I don't eat a lot of fish. You probably get plenty of omega 3 xx

@BEESY90 I am the exact same and terrified to test! I'm in the tww also. When do you think you will test? Xx

@Pugprincess I'm glad you are feeling a little better and have managed to keep busy xx

@VP91x Thank you, I was just having a wobble earlier I feel a bit better now 😊 just got to try and keep going - it makes me feel so much better speaking to you ladies about it. I don't blame you about the sex thing I get like that - you just get in a bit of a rut and see dtd as a means to an end. I feel a bit guilty sometimes, DH days that I farm him 🙈. If you feel up to it maybe dtd as EWCM is a good sign but don't be hard on yourself about not wanting to initiate xx

Aw @Pugprincess , I'm so sorry you've had such a tough day. @chloedancer897 post really resonated with me though. I too was so so so desperate in the first few months after mc to become pregnant and in hindsight, I don't even think I ovulated the first two months afterwards and my body clearly wasn't ready but starting trying immediately after, and being so desperate to fall pregnant has made this journey feel sooooo long and I aren't even pregnant (yet!!! 🤨)

@MichT4 not impressed you missed breakfast again. Knitting my eyebrows together in your direction! 😂

@VP91x thank you for your early morning advice on testing. We've called the clinic and got the ball rolling. Calling again tomorrow to make a firm consultation appointment.

@Northernsoul90 sorry you have struggled today too. This part of the tww is the absolute worst. I think I'm better testing early as I know once I've tested, I can't test again for another two days at least, otherwise, I'd just be thinking about it alllllll the time. But everyone has their own way and I really wish I could just push it out so I didn't waste so much money on tests!
Anyway, getting back to you, it's good to give yourself a goal. Like 'if af doesn't arrive by X date, I'll phone the GP'. I really hope something happens for you soon. A bfp being the winner outcome, obviously.

@Firevie and @MichT4
You've both given some really sound advice today in trusting in our bodies. It really hit hard after being so sad yesterday. You're right, our bodies have been through a lot, as have our souls. We need to allow them to recover and trust they will come right.
Thank you both ❤️

@Northernsoul90 part of me wants to wait till I am officially late to avoid false result a d and false hope Building or disappointment. Part of me is living in a bubble now that there is a slight chance I could be, like it isn’t impossible, so I don’t wanna burst that bubble yet , but then part of me thinks if I find I out now I can face facts and move on ti next month. I don’t know if that makes sense?! X

@VP91x @Jazper I'm working at home tomorrow so I'll be able to make a proper breakfast. Egg muffins sound like a good shout for work days though. @Jazper I actually felt pretty told off just then 😂

@VP91x glad your first day went well. Did you like being back?
Don't feel bad about not feeling up to it - you've had a long change of a day for a start. I know OPKs can be hit and miss but I'm sure you will catch a peak on them. And I do think DTD should still be a thing we want to do, even though sometimes I know it isn't like that. I was thinking today that if I haven't ovulated yet, we haven't DTD in a few days so maybe I should make it happen, but we are both knackered! So I'm just going to see if it happens. I wouldn't want to be doing it and not wanting to, do what feels right and don't feel bad for it either way.

@SmileyT anything delicious for dinner I can get jealous of? Your holiday is going to be a well deserved break and you'll be showing off a gorgeous bump too

xx

@Jazper Yes absolutely we all have our own way of dealing with things, tww is such a killer isn't it. Hope you are keeping okay and thank you for your kind comments. Fingers crossed for a bfp for you too, we are overdue some on the thread! Xx

@BEESY90 Yes it does make sense! I go back and forth between wanting to test early and then not. Generally I like to wait until at least af due date. I'm 11dpo tomorrow and planning to test on Saturday. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 xx

@Northernsoul90 It was on the 13th of July and got a negative last Monday 27th. Got a smiley today so going to try now for the next three days and hope for the best 🙏🏼😊

@Northernsoul90 😂😂 farm him, that made me laugh. Yeah I do feel in a bit of a rut with it this month, I've stepped away from some much of my normal tracking that I'm a bit like meh. Let's see if I even get a peak OPK.

@Jazper oh amazing, what are you going to have? Xx

@MichT4 haha oh good definitely have a proper brekkie! Yeah definitely it made the day fly by too. Definitely wasn't in the mood for it tonight anyway and OH finally got confirmation the pup will definitely be here by 16th so he's just focused on that haha xx

@VP91x how was your day at work?
Awww @Jazper glad our words could help a little!
I ran / power walked again today after the ERPC - 8km! It felt so so good! And whilst I was running I could honestly say that I’m so grateful for my strong body to bounce back! We need to give our bodies some TLC and not forget that our bodies are amazing!!! Xx

@Firevie it was good! Just got through normal first day things like induction courses etc. Boring stuff. Met most of the office everyone seemed lovely. I've never worked in an office environment before so will be different. Glad that you felt good after your 8km! Our bodies are incredible Xx

@VP91x glad the first day went well lovely, is everyone back in the office then? x

@MichT4 last night DP made a lovely chicken cheesy pasta and it went down a treat ☺️ glad you are getting to wfh and have a nice breakie this morning x

Morning ladies.

@VP91x glad ur first day went good!

@Rebecca1992 good luck for later today !

@SmileyT no, maybe like 30 people total from all the other teams. They said 85% of people were still wfh and phasing back in slowly. I'll be WFH next week because my manager is going to Spain 👀 and he may have to quarantine after if the rules don't change so the plan is abit hazy atm!

Ooft, if it wasn't CD14 I would swear I was getting my period. I've got that lower down periody feeling since last night and feel so nauseous this morning. How is everyone? X

@VP91x all good here thanks. I missed POAS so did an OPK with FMU today - dark second line! 🙄😂 i give up this month. My temps are still floating around the higher range, though not as high as they were at their peak - that coincided with the really hot days so they might be affected by that I suppose.
Will try and DTD today and hopefully if something weird is going on with ovulation, we won't miss it.

How are you?

@SmileyT that dinner sounds lovely. I love a pasta dish! All ok today?

xx

@MichT4 what cycle day are u on now? That’s annoying ur opks keep doing that. Did u have issues with ovulation before?

@2020wish CD25 and possibly 4-7DPO. I shouldn't have done the OPK, but I was having withdrawals 😂
Well last month I got the two peaks. I didn't carry on taking them after so I don't know. Every other time I've had a 'false' peak, my temperature has shown it, but now they are still up so I'm still assuming I did ovulate. Will see in a week or two I suppose.
How are you doing? xx

@MichT4 what is your chart looking like now? Was the second line really dark? Xx

I'm okay! Just feel period-y if that's even a word xx

@VP91x that's really weird that you feel like that. Not an ovulation feeling maybe?

Here's a chart and OPK picture. Wish I hadn't done the blinkin OPK

Morning ladies! As promised link below for the yoga video I’ve just done this Morning

Didn’t sleep very well today - woke up at 4 as had horrible dream. Then took another hour until I fell asleep and then missed my 6.30 wake up to take my BBT so took it at 7am today - ah well!
Still feel energised and buzzy today. Got an email last night and looks like work issue will now get resolved in our favour - yay!
Not sure if I mentioned this to you ladies but since last week I’ve been going to acupuncture. Well I had my first one last week and second one today. Read lots about it and wanted to give it a try just to help my body find the balance again really and my hormones to settle back in. So I’m there this morning and in the evening I’ve booked in a mani and pedi- cannot wait!!! It has been so so long and I need my nails and toes to look pretty for my hols yay.

Hope you all have a great morning and a fantastic day xx

@MichT4 I bet if you done a femometer it wouldn't be that dark the EAH opks are always dark it's annoying. Mine were like that for most of the month so don't stress. Your temps are way above cover line, regardless of the fluctuations 🥰.

No idea, I done a OPK this morning, less than useless 🙄😂😂. Will see if anything develops. I only ever get this feeling if AF is coming so odd. Xx

@MichT4 flip that is really dark... possibly hcg? If ur around 7dpo it could be. If not it’s really strange cause ur temps suggest u def ovulated 7 days ago . When will u take a preg test? I’m doing good. Very tired and sleeping 24/7 it seems x

@VP91x have u ovulated yet? If not could be ovulation pain? I always felt sort of crampy /periody around then.. or maybe Implantation if u are in ur tww

@Firevie not up to speed with ur work situation ur glad it’s working out in ur favour. I’ve heard a lot about the acupuncture. Every little thing that helps us destress will surely help
