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

How hot is it 🥵🥵 I've just set the paddling pool up for the girls and I'm waiting for them to get bored so I can go lie in it 🤣🤣

@Lollol86 I’m jealous. I’m in Northern Ireland and weather is crap

Thanks all for your lovely comments and reassurance - there's no much support in this little group 🥰. Sorry for the tmi I've just had a fairly large clot/lump of tissue it looked like come out and and getting bad period pains as well. I think this must just be af taking longer to start up as it is right on time in terms of when I ovulated as well. I don't know why I just really want to see bright red blood but I suppose if I haven't had a cycle for so many weeks that could explain the colour.

@MichT4 I'm cheering you on also!!

And all of the other ladies in the tww! Really hope to see some more bfps over the coming days 💖

@Runnergirl1 Good luck for your appointment I hope all goes well! Xx

@Bellabubble Thats such sad news about your pets it's just heartbreaking. Hope you are doing okay. Sending hugs xx

@Pugprincess omggg I can see a line on all of those! I'm so excited for you, fingers crossed for a clear one on a FRER! I really do think your stress levels going down and your lifestyle changes have had such a positive impact on you, really hope this is a sticky bean for you xxx

@Northernsoul90 I think full flow should be CD1 but my consultant did say if it stays light then the spotting is your "period". Sorry it was a BFn but you've got an appointment in place at least. If you get anxious over the weekend perhaps try calling again on Monday morning and see if they can squeeze you in earlier than weds?
On the apps front, I use Glow which I like and captures lots of data but there's a lot of ads etc so I ended up paying premium to stop those. I'm using FF for charts but I also like Ovia, it's a really nice one too imo.

@VP91x I was surprised it was so many days of pills too but reading up on it it looks like it increases your progesterone and then when you stop, the sudden drop triggers AF so it needs a few days to build up. I'm pleased to see the doctor has given me the max strength prescription so hopefully it does the trick.
Sorry to hear your OPKs aren't showing ovulation just yet, it's frustrating when apps just give you a date and you know that's not the case. Will it throw future cycle predictions off?

@2020wish oh really? Is it raining? Xx

@Bellabubble so sorry to her about your pets that’s really sad!
@Northernsoul90 ugh sucks but can you treat yourself to some bubbly now at your anniversary dinner?
It is absolutely steaming hot! Can’t even sit on the balcony. OH and I have decided to go to our local cafe and get one of their yummy sausage baps for lunch lol so unhealthy but so good
Trying to tie up everything at work but seriously zero motivation
This eve DH has some picnic with work mates. I’m not going as I need to pack and clean the flat and I’m shielding myself as don’t want to risk schlepping anything back to my parents tmr.
We are at the edge of our seat as my DH applied for his tourist visa to travel back home with me. We have just had an email that it’s been approved and the embassy has sent the passport back via DX secure services. We are keeping our fingers crossed we will get the passport back today so DH can travel with me tmr yay ! Hope so!
Xxx

@Firevie why does he need a visa? Xx

@Lollol86 he has an Indian passport so every couple of years he needs to apply for a tourist visa. Such a pain! But I just have fingers crossed it does arrive today so we can book him a last minute ticket with me tmr morning xx

@Firevie oh that's so annoying. Can he not get permanent residents here? I really hope it's back in time. If not can he fly out in a few days? Xx

@Firevie wow so will your children speak 3 different languages? Xx

@MichT4 When will you test??

Thanks everyone, I’m convinced I am I have a lot of symptoms. Just got to hope it sticks and progresses now. Will probably check again with cheap ones next few mornings and if progressing with those I’ll buy an expensive test.

@Northernsoul90 sorry for your test and AF symptoms, I hope you are ok and I hope you confidently get the cycle going so you know where you stand. I’m a serial before AF spotter and I’ve always counted the red full flow as day 1. Xx

@BEESY90 congratulations on your BFP. Xx

@Bellabubble sorry to hear about your rabbit and your parents dog. I had a guinea pig for 5 years I was so attached to, and just the thought if something happening to my dog makes me cry. Thoughts are with you and family xx

@Runnergirl1 good luck with your appointment and let us know how it goes please? X

I’m taking it easy today and just chilling (as much as you can in heat lol). Bikini, garden and a good book! X

@Pugprincess ahhh so exciting, congratulations! Was hoping to come on and see this today!

@Lollol86 yes so worst case scenario he comes in a day or two but I want him flying with me!! He needs another five years in the UK for citizenship but won’t help him with Europe anyway cos of Brexit haha! I am the one who can travel cos I have the right passport haha

Yes so our children will speak English, German (my mother tongue), Hindi (His and mine) and French (I went to french schools). So def four languages and then anything they may want to learn xx

@Firevie oh of course, I had managed to forget about BREXIT 🤣🤣
That is amazing, your children will be so talented xx

@Runnergirl1 If it’s any reassurance, I had my MMC on mon 13/7, two weeks later 27/7 got my BFN and also had my checkup for the all clear. I then ovulated three weeks post MMC on 05/8. I used the CB pink digital and Fem. Everyday I updated the Glow app with my negative LH tests so it would push out the ovulation. It said I would ovulate the 05/8 and on the 4th I got my first smiley. So I assume that was the day before ovulation and second smiley was ovulation? I could be wrong but that’s what I went with x

Thanks everyone. All gone and things look nearly back to normal. So all clear and can finally move on. She said I should try again after af though which I thought was Just to date but she scared me by saying higher chance of miscarriage again as everything might not be restored and back to normal 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Runnergirl1 I'm glad all went okay with your scan, oh I had no idea about that. I didn't think there was a higher rate if you fell quickly xx

@Bellabubble oh, I'm so sorry about your bunny!! God, what a week and your poor parents pup. It is so so heartbreaking to lose a pet. I hope you are okay and that you are able to feel a little less stressed ❤️

@Northernsoul90 sorry if you've mentioned before, did they check you for retained tissue post MC? Maybe that's why AF took so much longer because it had to let everything come out. I hope you're not in too much pain xx

@MrsK21 ooh, that makes sense then. I hope it kicks in quickly for you after stopping the pills. Erm, well my cycles have been between 20-33 days the last few ones so I never know what to expect 😂.

@Runnergirl1 - glad everything went well. Such a relief! I had an ERPC three weeks ago. I didn’t have to take pregnancy test to confirm negative, my doc was confident that wasn’t necessary. I ovulated two weeks after ERPC. Went for my follow up with my doc yesterday. He said all looking good incl ovaries etc. He also confirmed ovulation. I told him we had DTD in my peak window and when I ovulated so he’s aware I may catch this cycle and didn’t raise any concerns whatsoever. He has given me a prescription of progesterone and said as soon as I get the BFP I should start taking it as I have longer cycles. I think everyone advises to wait for one af so everything normalises but I’ve never heard anyone say it’s because of anything other than dating reasons. Even my rubbish EPU didn’t say that. Xxx

@VP91x and @Firevie - I thought that. I didn’t think there was a higher chance I guess things might not be back to ‘normal’ but sure if your body wasn’t ready it wouldn’t ovulate or you wouldn’t catch again so quickly. I’ve said before we are taking a laid back approach this month anyway after all this but I still want to DTD and if it happens it happens. I’m not checking ovulation or anything as I don’t want to get myself into a mess and overthink - which is what I do anyway lol. Honestly bloody hopeless - this whole process has been a joke. I’m so glad my body has sorted itself out and I’ve not had to rely on them as bad as that sounds clx

@Rebecca1992 I will test next Thursday probably, if AF hasn't arrived. I'm not feeling anything yet, so have no idea. I'm certainly expecting not to be this month but I'm silently hoping and keeping everything crossed.

Sorry I'm not really up to date with what's going on. @Runnergirl1 it's good you have been told things are looking good in there. Difficult to know what to do isn't it but just do what feels right for you.

Just on the way back from seeing our little pup 🥰. Grabbing a BK because needs must. He is gorgeous and so tiny. About half the size I expected. We couldn't hold him because of COVID but he is wonderful. Here he is xx

Awwwww @MichT4 🐶🥰
@Runnergirl1 glad it all went well. Don’t worry too much I did a bit of research and many say you have a better chance of a live birth. Think there’s just many opinions xx

He is sooo gorgeous! @MichT4 he's totally adorable. I think I want a puppy more than a baby now hahah those little floppy ears and little shy face in the second pic :D

@MichT4 omg he is gorgeous, I bet you just want to cuddle him. Did you say to her about lack of communication? Xx

Isn't he 🥰 I literally adore him already. She said he was the cheekiest one. Typical!

@MrsK21 he is certainly helping to distract my mind slightly. I hope he has a little playmate on the way soon though.

@Lollol86 I did, she even said that she knew how much we must want to hold him. I understand though. I did, and she said she takes photos once a week on weekends. She said otherwise it's too difficult keeping up with everyone. She was much better than I expected.

@Pugprincess how are you feeling? What symptoms have you got?

How is everyone's sunny Friday? xx
