Thank you ladies, you're always so lovely ☺️

Had an OPK today with 21%/femometer high - so finally got something happening! In the past that would mean a peak within the next two days but last cycle threw all that out of the window so I'm less sure what to expect now...

@Juno231 oo exciting hopefully that is a peak for you very soon then!

I'm still here at CD42 and 5/6 days late for AF. Been very wet down there for a week really so who knows when AF is going to show her face. Had bfn on frer at 14 and 17dpo so not pg

@Vil10 I rang but the practice manager wasn't in work today but I have her email so now I have to think about what to actually write !

I have had a persistent pain in my right hand side of my womb/ovaries for the last few days so unsure what's that ☹️

@Vil10 yeah I keep feeling period pain at times and then just goes. It'll prob turn up Monday on my anniversary 😂
Heading back to my parents for the night as my sister lives close by. I hope the baby's awake still! My other sister is coming too, hope she doesn't hog him lol! Have good weekends everyone xx

@LaceyMermaid yes, I had that afew days ago, weird cramps at 4 dpo not painful but definitely there for about a say and a half and then nothing, I also have very dark aureolas with sharp nipples which I never get, so starting to count chickens sadly, af due Saturday next week, we are going away for that weekend, so will hopefully be distracted enough to test late, I can't stand bfns

@Franklydear hard not to count chickens isn’t it! So weird my cramps are exactly like AF and had for 2 days at 3/4dpo. Weird as I know it’s too early to be a sign of anything. I’m even wondering if I ovulated sooner and it’s AF they’re that bad!

@LaceyMermaid exactly like that, I did wonder too,but af never came, let's wait and see if we both have chickens to count in a couple of weeks

@vil10 it's an easy colour!
@Juno231 at least things are moving, I really hope this is smooth going for you

Morning, Saturday morning lay in after my first whole week at work, I came expecting lots to catch up and nada, where are you all?

I thought the same @Franklydear it’s very quiet on here!

@Franklydear still hear just not to report! CD43 and no sign of AF.... Worried I'm having a cycle like @lucyrp last now! Bfn at 14/17dpo and now I'm 20dpo so don't think I ovulated at all
Quiet because not a lot going on until AF comes and I can start again 😔

@SarahTTC2020 sorry to hear that, so frustrating, nothing to report here either but a week to af so fingers crossed, I’ve been trying to relax but there’s so many signs, I know, I know signs of af and pregnancy are the same....

Haha nothing to report here, 8 dpo had that big temp dip at 5/6dpo and now my temps are slowly rising up...have slight twingy cramps this morning but don't think it's anything. Due to test on friday which will be 14 dpo. Not convinced we got lucky this month as my temps don't really seem to rising alot, atleast not enough to make me think positive about it.

@Franklydear I think it seems we're all feeling rather defeatist at the moment unfortunately!

I had a break from here last night as I actually went to the supermarket food shopping and had a panic attack mid shop and had to leave there and then and drive straight home. I had gone with my friend who also suffers with anxiety so I set her off too and we were both messes. I later realised it was partly to do with the 4 coffees I had drank yesterday as caffeine is not my friend and then whilst sat on sofa watching Disney films to try and relax had the most painful cramps so had to have a hot water bottle. Alas no AF and onto CD33 for me

Morning ladies, I think we’re all feeling the same. It’s the longest spell with no bfps either which normally give me a wee buzz.

@lucyrp that sounds horrible :(

@Hopeful110 fx for you

I am cd7 and going to do everything this morn. Opks, bbt, fertility gel and smep 🤣 the worst bit is that I genuinely get my hopes up more. The disappointment is harder then but it’s worth a go! Xxx

@Franklydear we're all busy trying to be impregnated real good by out OH's 😂😂
Well actually not in my case cos he seems to have lost all interest but hopefully that's where everybody else is.

I'm still here but have nothing to report-3dpo at best so still have the majority of the 2ww looming. And not feeing hopeful anyway so trying to focus on other things to keep me busy. Sorted my freezer out this morning and wrote a list of everything that's in there to keep on the door-what a saddo 😂😂

Good luck to anyone approaching testing; have we got any testers this weekend? Xx

@lucyrp hugs, my dear, I suffer from anxiety as well and is not fun, try to centre yourself again
I didn’t realised it’s been that long without bfps @Mrsi2020 perhaps it’s that, so who’s testing soon?
Should we need a new round of horrific funny stories that makes us cringe to cheer us up? I don’t have anything to get us started, I had a fabulous week at work, doing ver little, getting very tired, but feeling very much welcome to society, and most of my horrid colleagues have seemed to improved, manager getting antsy at how little I am doing so it won’t last, but hey I enjoy it in the meantime

@Clairey844 I feel you - my OH has been exactly the same. I'm so mad at him for it as well, but whenever I try to talk to him about how I'm feeling, he takes over the conversation and makes it all about him, and how he's feeling so much worse. And I get that he's feeling down, but I listen to him ALL the time, I just want him to listen to me too. There's been a lot of tears here this week, not helped by me being absolutely flat out at work while he's still furloughed and feeling at a loose end. I'm ready for the world to go back to normal now!!

Maybe the theme of the stories can be dumb things dh has done, I got home yesterday to a full wash in the washing machine, pat my back dear, ... only that we had done another yesterday, not yet dry, so now have wet clothes everywhere due to lack of space in the airer... hmm, half hearted back pat then

@Franklydear I've suffered for a few years but haven't felt it on my shoulders as such for a good while and it just crept up on me last night. I guess could be a combination of TTC and my disaster at the doctors and the coffee 🙄 I managed to calm down once back home with OH. Sent him to the chippy for a chippy tea and lit my lavender wax melt and cuddled under a blanket watching lilo and stitch😂 DS was at nanny's aswell last night so had to put up with cuddles from oh and kitty

Ooh I can definitely get on board with the 'idiot things my OH has done lately'. He's on school holiday at the moment and generally a pain in the arse when he's kicking about the house with nothing to do. So I came good from work to find the front room spotless, I mean hoovered, decluttered, the works. No word of a lie, it turns out he just shoved all the clutter in the washing basket and put it in the spare room! Which I only discovered when I went to do some laundry... 🤦‍♀️

@lucyrp I always get little twinges like that, that was part of the reason i went for those tests but all clear so I must just be a twingy person!
That sounds awful, hope you're okay now!!

@notyetamumbuttrying fingers crossed the witch doesn't arrive in your anniversary and possibly a BFP instead??🤞🏼🤞🏼

I can jump on this too, to be honest it's nothing particular that OH has done, he's just really getting on my tits recently, everything he's doing is grinding on me, he's a proper proper wind up, there's no serious moment with him but when I'm telling him a story he always moves his mouth and imitates me then when I go to have a do at him he says it's before I can "right shut up now you're proper pissing me off i just won't tell you", and I flipped at him this morning and said if he carries on I'm going to have to go to my mums for a few days because I can't cope with him annoying me😂😂

@lucyrp it comes and goes for me too, trouble is people find it hard to believe because I am this confident strong woman usually, feels like you’re not allowed a moment down
@Vil10 that might be a careful what wish for, my mum definitely annoy me more after a couple of days😂
@BellaBella84 another half hearted back pat then...

Right ladies. Does this sound like anything to you?! My cycle is usually about 27/28 days. Currently sitting on cd29 (17 dpo!) and no AF. I’m patiently waiting for AF to come so I’ve been putting off getting a pregnancy test, but I can’t remember the last time I was late.

I’ve been having headaches all week, my boobs haven’t hurt though which is very unusual for me before AF. Lower back pain like achey, aching all the way into my butt cheek, but I stand up all day at work ah maybe i was just on my feet for a bit longer than usual?

It’s felt like AF is coming down there the past couple of days, but nothing. Usually I can see signs AF is on its way in my CM when I wipe (sorry tmi!) but not yet.

Anybody else experienced this before? Xx

@Vil10 I can still feel it today so annoying! I am already 2 days late so have just told myself its going to be w stupid wacky cycle again ☹️ yeah more relaxed now thanks! We need to go and sort w new microwave out so I spontaneously booked to have my belly button pierced as I've wanted it done for ages but was waiting until I lost weight because thought it would look gross but read a thread where everyone said they felt skinnier with it done but now I'm regretting it as I've been told not wear high waisted tight clothing and that's all I own so may have to cancel 😂😭

@Franklydear I had a bit of a breakdown last summer when I had my gallstones and everything got a bit too much but by Christmas everything got better. I'm the same I'm quite an outgoing person the majority of the time but damn when this hits I'm a different person 🙈
