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

@Firevie I still want to try acupuncture. How have you found it. I might try the yoga today as I'm at home, thanks for sending the link

@VP91x @2020wish is it dark, but I am just trying to ignore it. I won't test yet, I was planning on just waiting it out til the bitter end but I might test a week tomorrow ish because I'm going away and if by some miracle I was, I'd want to know. But I'm undecided if I will do that.

@2020wish sleeping all day sounds fab! Are you feeling nice and relaxed? When is your scan?

@VP91x it's weird isn't it when our bodies do these things. When I get a twinge or anything now I generally ignore it 😂. Nothing surprises me now. I should take note because it could retrospectively mean something but my body has tricked me so many times that I'm done playing its games 😂 xx

@Firevie thank you for the yoga video. Sounds like you have a lovely day lined up. How are you finding the acupuncture? I've got my nails next week, it's my eyebrows I'm desperate for 😭 honestly they look awful and I feel it changes my whole appearance xx

@MichT4 yea sounds smart holding off till next week so u get a definite answer. But I’m hoping for u! Fingers crossed! I’m ok, still anxious and feeling exhausted and nauseous and my boobs are killing me so it’s reassuring me a bit. My scan is tomorrow x

@2020wish thank you ☺️ I'd love for your hcg theory to be right and I'm remaining positive and hopeful, but I also know it's first cycle so AF is likely to appear.
Oooh tomorrow!! How exciting!

@MichT4 my opks are dark atm and have been from the beginning so I’m crossing everything for u!!! I’m nervous- I understand I’m still early and may not see much but hoping I get a flicker of a heart beat if anything is there that is viable. That’s all I need to help relax and try to staff enjoying this experience

@Cici89 oh brilliant!! Fingers crossed for you! Xx

@VP91x Hopefully you will see your peak soon 🤞🏼xx

@MichT4 so annoying for you with the opks! Your temps still look good though, I would be tempted to still go with being post ovulation 4-7dpo but maybe dtd today in case to keep covered? Xx

@Firevie Thank you for the link! Sounds like you are getting in some good self care today ☺️ I am considering acupuncture how do you find it? Is it painful? Xx

@2020wish Aww lovely that's exciting that it's tomorrow! xxx

Belated thanks for the welcome @VP91x , glad to hear your new job is going well. I hope you can work out what's going on with your cycle, mine's been a right mess

Sorry for being out of the loop , I had a busy few work days, but I'm now MAYBE 6dpo, with temperature continuing to rise. So just over another week before I am allowing myself to test. At this point I don't care if I see a BFN, the very fact that my cycle (now day 58 lol) is getting back into some semblance of normality is keeping my mood up.

@Firevie I'm going to do some yoga this morning too! I was avoiding yoga for fear of not being bendy enough, but seeing you all give it a go has really encouraged me. How exciting that you're off on holiday! I just got back from a weekend away and I feel like it really reset my brain, in a good way. I even told some of my colleagues about my loss and they were really nice about it.

Wishing everyone a positive day! Don't beat yourself up if you find yourself feeling sad, I've been very up and down as well, guess it comes with the territory. I'm also trying to take all your advice about trusting my body, as I'm sure somewhere VERY deep down it knows what it's doing

@MichT4 what’s happening with your Opks? Sorry I’m not following - are you in your TWW? I’m 4dpo and haven’t done Opks should you also do them post ovulation?
But my BBT went up a little from yesterday so fluctuated like @VP91x said
@2020wish good luck for your scan tmr!
@Lollol86 OMG don’t get me started on eyebrows! Not sure what to do as can’t rock up with caterpillar eyebrows to my friends wedding
Re acupuncture - doesn’t hurt. She just did a gentle one at my back last week post consultation. Let’s see what she does today. They say you should go regularly to start seeing benefits. I have my hols coming up now but will continue once I’m back
For those who are doing some yoga today - enjoy and let know how you find it xxx

@scrambledeggy yay join the yoga club 🤣 the Bettina Rae videos aren’t proper yoga but very gentle and it’s more about mindfulness, being kind to yourself and visualisation and breathing i find which I think is so useful too. I get my sweat on when I run in the evenings. Enjoy Bettina Rae and let me know how you find it and keep up the positivity - loving it! We are so strong and so our bodies and minds xxx

@Firevie no do not do OPKs after 😂 I just missed POAS and did one with FMU, so not even when you're supposed to pre ovulation 🙄. I'm in my TWW, going to stop being tempted by dipping things in my wee. This is why I need to be in the office 😂😂

@Northernsoul90 yeah think we will maybe DTD later, doesn't hurt. How are you? xx

@MichT4 You deffo need to put the sticks down, haha! What is your CM like?x

Ha! @fafi I know 🤦🏽‍♀️
CM is wet. Not loads, like watery, but I'm aware of it at times and it's there. I checked a bit more inside and there was quite a bit, with the tiniest bit of thick EWCM. What a combo!

How are you doing? xx

@MichT4 I am good thank you feel a lot more positive today - 12dpo now. It's my one year wedding anniversary today and 11 year anniversary of being together tomorrow so we have booked a nice meal for Saturday night. I'm hoping that having that booked will give me something to look forward to if I get a bfn or will be another cause to celebrate 🙏🏼. I can't say I feel any different really other than having quite a bit of cm but I've never really paid much attention to it before, I can't remember if that's the norm for me or not 😂. I'm trying not to think into it anyway, I don't think I had any symptoms this early last time I got bfp xx

Aww happy anniversary @Northernsoul90. Having something booked in is always nice! Where are you off to?
I hope it's a double celebration for you 🤞🏼 xx

@MichT4 haha ok no more dipping things in our wees lol I haven’t DTD either after we did it a day post ovulation - couldn’t face it four days in a row so hope that’s been sufficient.
@Northernsoul90 aww happy anniversary- I’m glad you’ve got something booked in. Celebrate and enjoy the love you have for each other xxx

@Firevie I went back to a yoga workout on the Nike Training app that I used months ago. It's called Dynamic Restorative Yoga and is supposed to be easy... but all these downward dogs are making me feel so creaky I'm going to try and do it everyday to get stronger. Will also try and keep up running once or twice a week. How do you manage it every day? That's so impresssive!

Happy anniversary @Northernsoul90! Hope things work out okay, when are you planning on testing? Sorry if you've already said, I'm so out of the loop!

@MichT4 I think I'm probably about the same point in my cycle as you, just noticed some mystery hormonal acne on my chin, how exciting, tune in next week to find out what it means...

@scrambledeggy 😂😂 my jawline is pretty chaotic at the moment too. Looking forward to next weeks progress update x

Thank you @MichT4 @Firevie @scrambledeggy 🥰

@scrambledeggy I will test on Saturday if af doesn't arrive 😊 xx

@2020wish Thank u! I will update you tonight after my scan 😊

aww happy anniversary @Northernsoul90, hope you have a wonderful day :)

@MichT4 that is a dark OPK! I read online (as we all do these days lol) that some women have naturally elevated levels of LH in their systems throughout the cycles - but you do still get that surge and ovulate. That combined with the easy @ homes is probably what is happening as your temps still look pretty stable.

@VP91x glad to hear day 1 went well! I'm ok lovely, just plodding through work this week and keeping myself busy till appointment tomorrow. FF and Ovia both think I've ovulated and putting me at 6DPO so hopefully not long till AF arrives for me now. Temps have remained nice and high so fingers crossed my body has woken up!
Totally understandable you didnt feel up to it despite all that EWCM, a new job can take it out of you!
x

@MrsK21 thank you, I think I'm one of the high LH ladies. I've text OH and geared him up for DTD later, just want to cover myself in case. I just did my yoga (thanks @Firevie and others that mentioned it) and I do generally just feel quite content that it'll happen. I'm holding out positivity for a wonderful first cycle post MC - makes the TWW less stressful if I imagine it might end with a happy result!
How are you?

@Rebecca1992 good luck with your scan.

@Pugprincess how are you today?

xx

@Rebecca1992 Good luck with your scan xx

@MrsK21 Thank you ☺️ fingers crossed that you have ovulated 🤞🏼 if they scan you I bet they will be able to confirm ovulation tomorrow? Xx

@MichT4 That CM could be a good sign, I was deffo like that after ovulation this time. I think you tend to be drier if conception hasn't happened. I am good thank you!x

@Northernsoul90 Happy Anniversary! I hope you enjoy your celebrations x

Well done everyone for doing yoga - whichever video you’ve been doing. I think consistency is the key - the more you do it the better it will go! @scrambledeggy I have always been exercising 4times a week in the gym and since lockdown got into running. DH and I go every day at 5.30 so that has been a nice routine for us though I’m so much fitter than he is lol. So I have lost 6kg in lockdown which is more than I’ve lost in the gym lol. Just finished acupuncture - was good, today she focused on my legs feet and womb and inserted needles to promote good blood circulation. Power walked 4.3km there and 4.3km back whilst on conference calls for work lol so def feels like today is an energetic day.
@Rebecca1992 good luck with your scan. Let us know how it goes. Fingers crossed xxx
