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

@Jazper hoping you're feeling a bit better hun
Yes I've been seeing a gynaecologist, hoping to find out more on Thursday. Think I'll ask for something to trigger ovulation is AF doesn't turn up within 2 weeks or so as my temps suggest I finally ovulated 4 days ago now x

@Northernsoul90 - thank you for that. Do you mind me asking did you DTD in that time? Although we have I started to panic but there is no bleeding anymore x

@DBTJ Thank you, no I haven't this might sound so ridiculous but I've never checked for my cervix and wouldn't really know what to feel for? xx

@Runnergirl1 We didn't but not really because of the spotting, I had an mva procedure for the mmc and was awake during it so felt a bit weird about anything going 'up there' sorry for the tmi. I think we first dtd about 3.5 weeks after xx

@Pugprincess yellow cm can be a sign of pregnancy, I know a few ladies on here had it before their BFP including myself.. have u retested

@2020wish Yh I tried this morn but still ridiculously faint or not there I can’t decide anymore 😩 told myself to not test now and see what happens x

@Pugprincess yea just give urself a few days, although easier said than done.

Ladies, how much does alcohol affect bbt? Asking for a friend 🙈😂🤣🤣 I had quite a few cocktails yesterday afternoon and my bbt has shot up very high this morning. I also had a peak on clear blue on Friday, so it could also be that I've now ovulated hence the high temp. But now I've obviously gone and confused myself by drinking 🙈 I'm also worried that I've squandered my chances by having a few drinks yesterday! I know it's silly, but now I'm panicking that I've wasted the month 😫

@SmileyT I'm so glad everything went well at your scan! ❤️

@Rainbowhope11 I noticed when I had alcohol my temp was raised the next day but it could also be a combination of the two. Sorry not much help lol

@pugprincess yeah I'd have the pom and a smoothie at the most - I'm sure it'll be nice even with water or even like soy milk for some protein!

@rainbowhope11 yeah mine shoots up when I've been drinking!

@Rainbowhope11 I think it makes a difference but might not be much. How much did it spike? I reckon tonight it might be a bit lower but still high.
And don't worry about a few drinks. It doesn't hinder your chances. So many people (including me first time) wouldn't know they were pg and would be merrily drinking, so that won't change the outcome of your month 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@VP91x yeah it'll be like 2 1/2 weeks between now and the next scan and then the same amount of time until the dating scan. How was legoland? X

@MichT4 It was nice that it was a bit cooler today for the commute on the tube, beginning of the month is always mental at work so this week will go fast, and just put MAFS Australia on 👌🏾

@Firevie I tried one of Bettina Rae's yoga practices this afternoon, thanks for the Rec x

@Lollol86 omg now you've mentioned McDs I could really eat one, really trying to be good and OH made a whole loads of chicken and veg on the BBQ yesterday but I feel like I need McDs 😂

@Rainbowhope11 I did the same thing around ovulation last month, I was so drunk and had my CB static that morning so had no idea if the temp rise was just from the alcohol, I've now concluded it probably was and I ovulated the day after... touch wood it didn't do me any harm 🙈

@Pugprincess yeah I wouldn't be worried about that I find that white CM dries an off yellow colour and is nothing I've ever worried about x

Welcome to all those that have joined us, sorry you find yourself here but this is honestly the most supportive thread following a loss so feel free to share whatever.

@SmileyT honestly it was so good, I’ll get back on my diet tomorrow 🤣🤣 xx

@fafi @2020wish @MichT4 @SmileyT thanks ladies! 🤞🏼 that it's doesn't affect my chances!

Ladies, I am absolutely KNACKERED! 😫😂

Running after a 2.5yo and entertaining them whilst you queue for rides is not ideal, haha. Bella had a great day though! She fell asleep within 3 seconds of getting in the car, just driving home now.

@SmileyT that's really good, I wish we could have bi weekly scans until week 28 or something 😂. How was work? Legoland was fab, just so tired! Xx

@Lollol86 it was absolutely fine! I'm assuming it was quiet for August but you still waited 40-45 mins on some of the bigger rides. Have you been since they opened Duplo Valley? We didn't bother with the lego cars or the haunted mansion 60-90+ mins to wait. Only had to wear masks on two rides and in the shops. It was honestly fine xx

@Jazper so sorry you got a bfn, but super early don't lose hope. Me and @MrsK21 were both talking before about the hair loss. Mine was horrific!! Made me so so upset. It was coming out in clumps, I wouldn't want to brush my hair because it was ridiculous. Weekly treatments, not using heat etc helped also lockdown so could just stick it in a bun. Ultimately, also time obviously helped.

@Pancakes7 @scrambledeggy welcome to you both ❤️ so sorry about your losses. I hope you find yourselves supported here xx

@SmileyT yay hope you found it useful!!!
@Rainbowhope11 as others have said I wouldn’t worry about it. Many don’t know they’re pregnant and keep on drinking
DH is at friends this eve so I’m making my student dinner which I make when he’s not around - spicy tuna sweet corn pasta bake yumm
Have also been for my 6k walk as something at work is really stressing me out. My boss and I need to resolve something for our clients and I’ve been beating myself up about it that I should have spotted the mistake. My boss is amazing and not mad but just says we have to resolve it but I can’t help spiralling into a negative bubble so I had to step Way whilst I’m waiting for his email
I just feel I’m ready for a holiday / have been working nonstop, DH had the virus at beginning of lockdown, got pregnant, lost baby and through it all I’ve been working which tbh has been a grat distraction. I love my job so always want to be perfect and if something then doesn’t go to plan I beat myself up about it
Anyway rant over / once I’ve had my run a pasta bake I will have a relaxing evening watching tv waiting for my boss email xx

@Rainbowhope11 ahh you got a super early peak! It could have affected your temps depending on how much you had and how you slept. See how it compares to tonight's temp, you could always discount it as abnormal if it throws off your chart xx

@2020wish Yh I don’t even have any desire left to poas now 😂 I’ve had it with tests lol, I will wait and see what Mother Nature brings.

@fafi yes soy milk would be good, or I read Greek yoghurt too. I’m on whole milk so I could give that a go for the extra calcium too.

@SmileyT it’s definitely coming out a slight shade of whatever that is lol because I’ve seen it wet on tissue but i agree the liner must have dried a bit by the time I got home cause the stuff on tissue isn’t so dark. It’s almost like discharge with the tiniest hint of brown. I really hope it’s not AF but not much I can do about it, out of my hands isn’t it. Hate the bloating though it reminds me of being preg 😭 my tummy was going down after mc, but since ovulation I’ve bloated up, think I will be in for a hell of a period if it comes. Must be the progesterone xx

Said bloat and puggles...I’m no six pack but I promise my gut isn’t always like this 😆

@Firevie aw you sound as though you are reaching the end of your tether. Hopefully the email is ok and work gets sorted out. Walking is good to clear the mind, I took a long walk today too. Xx

@VP91x no I haven't been since then, is it good? Ahhh sounds like you had a fab day. I will have to book a trip there. Was there much for Bella to go on? Xx

@Lollol86 yeah it's fab! And the littler ones can go on it all. She did actually, she's just over 0.9m so she can go on almost everything with an adult except maybe 5 things? Like the big dragon coaster, the spinning disc thing etc.xx

@VP91x Neve is 101cm and I have avoided going as thought it wouldn't be fair on her not being able to go on much but obviously there is more there for her than I realised xx

@Pugprincess I’m really hoping this is your month and that’s a good Bloat! Omg u want to see mine... I’m only like 5.5 weeks and I’ve been so bloated from the beginning. My tummy is stretched out and rock hard- no soft bits.. I can’t suck it in as it’s so uncomfortable and it actually looks like the beginning of like a 4/5 month bump.. I’m embarrassed going outside cause all my tops are tight fitting because I have a flat tummy usually but now I actually look either pregnant or fat but I know it’s just bloat so if people where to ask me was I pregnant I’d be embarrassed saying yes but like 5/6 weeks lol my tummy is so sore. I’m not even eating cause my appetite is gone and the sickness feeling. Like what is this??? Surely it’s not normal

Excuse the nail marks I was scratching cause my skin feels that tight it’s itchy
