Thank you for your support, you are an amazing support tower of women 🤗

Hoping you all have a great day!❤

VP91x · 05/08/2020 12:08

@2020wish no haven't ovulated yet, not even a sniff of an interesting line on an OPK either. Yeah, maybe something is going on! Exciting that your scan is tomorrow, are you looking forward to it? 🥰

@MichT4 haha, I know I've literally been ignoring my body all month but I couldn't ignore the periody feeling its so noticeable the backache and everything. You will get massive kudos for waiting another week! Eek. Bet your OH was pleased to receive a sexy text in the day 🍆💦xx

@Northernsoul90 thank you hun😘 happy anniversary that's a long time together! Hope you enjoy your meal out. Where are you going? Xx

@Scrambledeggy haha thanks, there's no helping me and my cycles at the moment apart from hopefully the specialist I see next month finally.

@MrsK21 yay that's gone quickly for your appointment how are you feeling about it? Yeah, that and the low opks just couldn't be bothered. If I don't ovulate I don't want any possibility or symptom spotting in the wait for AF 😂. Great news that temps are nice and high though! 🥰

I’m more
Nervous than anything, my OH is so excited he’s been counting down the days... X

VP91x · 05/08/2020 12:13

@2020wish no I haven't taken a thing except for the inofolic alpha supplement. Not even grapefruit juice. Yeah hopefully! Aw I'm sure it will be all okay ❤️ will be thinking of you xx

2020wish · 05/08/2020 12:15

@VP91x don’t u have another appointment for the pcos? Are they going to get you some sort of treatment like clomid?

Thank you x

VP91x · 05/08/2020 12:23

@2020wish yeah so, this month I have day 21 bloods so if I don't get a peak OPK I'll go on CD21 if I do then, I'll do it 7 days after.

16th Sept I have the appt with gynae which the GP referred me for so they can prescribe a metformin/clomid combo or whatever they think is best. Xx

Rebecca1992 · 05/08/2020 12:28

@@2020wish Not until 7.30 this evening! I'm trying to keep myself busy today as I'm off work as well!

MichT4 · 05/08/2020 12:32

@VP91x I know but I'm so ready for nothing to happen that it doesn't actually feel that hard waiting, if you know what I mean. I wouldn't even take one if I wasn't going away, I just think sensibly I have to, otherwise there'll be drinks and stuff.
Yeah he seemed quite happy with it 😂🍆💦, can't be helped if we must have some fun for this cause.

It's so nice you have a plan set out. That's definitely another thing getting my through this month - knowing I'll have bloods and scans if AF shows. xx

2020wish · 05/08/2020 12:33

@VP91x oh that’s good they are taking it seriously for u and could be pregnant with ur rainbow baby Oct

@Rebecca1992 I’m sure it’s dragging in! Pamper yourself with a nice bath. I’m
Gonna spend today getting a bath and doing a bit of tan as I’m out for dinner tomorrow but I’ve booked my scan for 8:30am as I can’t sit about waiting lol

Lollol86 · 05/08/2020 12:53

@Rebecca1992 how far gone are you? So exciting, best of luck xx

Rebecca1992 · 05/08/2020 13:26

@2020wish I know I would've picked a much early appointment if it wasnt for OH working and the hassle of trying to find someone to watch my girls as well so night is always better for me!

If I only I could have a bath alone! If the girls hear that water running it soon turns into a family bath 🙈 I will do some baking! I'm a compulsive Baker, my way of keeping busy and relaxing! How are you feeling??

@Lollol86 Thank you! I'm 6+6 today, first cycle post MC so anxious excited is how I'd describe myself today! How are you doing?

MichT4 · 05/08/2020 13:33

Ahh @Rebecca1992 I love hearing stories about first cycles post MC, brings me joy and hope. I'd love to join you this month 🤞🏼 xx

Hayley19835 · 05/08/2020 13:41

Ladies that drink grapefruit juice omg how do you do it! I started it yesterday and I'm having to down it in one go 🤢

Rebecca1992 · 05/08/2020 13:41

@MichT4 Thanks you! Sending you lots of baby dust, I really hope this is your month! I love your approach this month....I know it's so hard I obsessed over my cycle a few weeks ago and its torture!!

Stay positive and relaxed ❤

MichT4 · 05/08/2020 13:44

Thanks @Rebecca1992. Did you track guest month, have any symptoms etc?
Yeah I'm trying to not overthink things, especially this month. Need to remain positive and distracted xx

Rebecca1992 · 05/08/2020 14:04

@MichT4 I think that's the best approach! After MC bleeding 19th June (4days) I started OPKs for the first time ever! I got my peak on July 1st so I presumed I ovulated on July 2nd, we DTD almost every day from June 24th upto the day I tested 9th July (AF was due 15th) it was exhausting 😂🙈

I said I wasnt going to test early because of MC but 2 days before I tested I was getting niggly on/off cramps and a lot of creamy CM and I was so wrecked (still am) I just had a strong urge to test like I had a feeling I was pregnant.

That was the only real symptoms I had! How many dpo are u? How are u feeling??

Lollol86 · 05/08/2020 14:14

@Rebecca1992 I'm ok thank you, just want to be pregnant though. You are very lucky to have fallen so quick. It's the not knowing how long it's going to take that is really frustrating.

@Firevie I've just done the 2nd yoga session you sent yesterday, I also done 15 minutes of meditation today, work sent out a relaxation video and that really chilled me out xx

Rebecca1992 · 05/08/2020 14:21

@Lollol86 I've been extremely lucky that I caught straight away! How long have you been TTC? Have you any kids?

MichT4 · 05/08/2020 14:22

@Rebecca1992 gosh that is a run of DTD! Well done you! 😂 😂

Well, after a couple of false starts with a few peak OPKs, I think I am now somewhere between 4-7DPO depending what app I am looking at. I am just hoping temps stay high so that I definitely know I ovulated, but they are so far so I guess I should tick ovulation off (I hope!).
I feel fine, no symptoms or any feelings yet, but I do try and ignore most things now. I still have quite a bit of CM, so that I guess could be a good sign, but again, not overthinking it. I would LOVE to catch this cycle, but after the first MC and hoping I would catch quickly, I'm not thinking too much about it, as I was really upset last time when I didn't. I mean, it only took 4 months, but it felt like a lifetime because I was so convinced it would be quick.

Lollol86 · 05/08/2020 14:25

@Rebecca1992 yes I'm extremely luck to have 2 girls aged 3 and 7, I'm just so desperate for a 3rd. I had a mc before my 2nd daughter and we had discussed trying for a 3rd and then we accidentally fell pregnant but sadly ended in a mc. Now I've had a taster I just want it to happen. This is my 2nd cycle since the mc, I'm 3 dpo. Sometimes I feel really positive and other times I feel like it's just not going to happen anytime soon.
Do I see you have children too? Xx

Firevie · 05/08/2020 14:51

@Lollol86 well done you! Keep it up! I have posted another link today of the one I’ve done today if you want to do that tmr.

I have grapefruit juice and don’t like it either - what does it do again? Xx

Pugprincess · 05/08/2020 15:24

Hello everyone. Thank you @MichT4 for asking too 🙂 I’ve had a weird day. You know how I left both my jobs, my zero hours contracts and starting new job in a few weeks? Well one of the jobs sent me a dismissal letter this morning, I hadn’t fully told them I wasn’t coming back until I text the manager this morning to ask for my p45 and then the letter arrives a couple of hours later, so I text again to say just got letter glad we’re both on the same page and can I have the p45 please. Lol. Nice way to kick me when I’m down because they knew about miscarriage. Never mind onwards and upwards I suppose. Did upset me though I can’t lie. End of an era as been there 4 years.

So Yh been quite tearful today. Still have a little light brown in my discharge. No other signs at the moment.

I’m intrigued about grapefruit juice too now-is it high in sugar? Think the pom juice is. I’ve started my calc Fluor now and will stop if/once AF arrives. I don’t hold massive hopes but I obviously wish it doesn’t come for good reasons.

Not really got anything done today, just had a friend come see me which was nice. Not taking dog out yet or had my lunch. Husband said he will take us b&q tonight and then food shop which I was meant to do earlier but with friend coming I’ve pushed it back. Weathers cloudy and very windy here so can’t really paint as it blows everywhere lol.

For those having scans hope it goes well. And good luck to my tww buddies. You are doing well to keep busy and active. Xx

Northernsoul90 · 05/08/2020 15:41

Thank you @fafi @VP91x I'm going to a place near me called Bertrams it's not a chain or anything but the food is delicious, really looking forward to it ☺️ xx

Northernsoul90 · 05/08/2020 15:45

@Pugprincess That's so shitty of them I hope you are okay!! You have another job lined up though don't you? The weathers been crappy here humid but raining... I went into town to do some shopping and ended up in a 45 minute queue for the bank in the rain as well it was a nightmare.

I can feel that af is on her way I think 😔 I've been getting lots of low down cramping on and off all day and some slight cramping yesterday. I've told myself I wasn't going to pin my hopes catching first time after mc but I think I must have secretly been thinking it was going to happen. I suppose at least if af comes I won't have to go to my doctors but obviously seeing your period arrive is hard

Rebecca1992 · 05/08/2020 15:49

@MichT4 The CM is a good sign!! Fingers crossed for you! I said I wouldn't symptom spot this time either until the urge came to POAS. I really hope this is your month 🤞xx

@lollol86 Wow your very similar to me! Yes I've 2 girls also 3 and 7 😊 Hoping this is also your month!! Have you any symptoms?? Are u ovulating as before??
