Thanks for making another one! 😁 let the madness continue...

Helloooo

Sansa87 · 12/08/2020 18:08

Hi guys!

We are off to see if we can get a table at Nando’s, & then b&m to see what cheap ovulation sticks we can test tonight too.

We’ve had a storm too so tiny bit cooler.

whambam89 · 12/08/2020 18:13

Thanks @claireb707 ! Let's hope for some more BFPs on this thread 🤞

BuckleUp · 12/08/2020 18:31

@claireb707 Thanks for adding another thread. I'm going to be following along wishing everyone good luck 😊

claireb707 · 12/08/2020 18:35

Luckily (ha 😢😩) I was out early enough to still be within the August window again

@claireb707 I’m onto September now but not making a new thread just yet until there are more to join me 😂 Hopefully not many of you will have to though!

Sansa87 · 12/08/2020 19:54

Couldn’t get a table so currently sat in carpark waiting to collect and unimpressed at paying full price today 😂

Got my cheap opk’s though! Does anyone intend on using baby aspirin? I bought some but want to do some more research on them.

LeopardLover · 12/08/2020 20:10

Just replying on the new thread! Thanks for setting it up @claireb707.

@MrsB2019x Oh geez, that's such an annoying delay! But hopefully you'll be in soon. 😊 I think we can get in as soon as the kitchen and all flooring is done. It just takes forever when you DIY! 😅 I think I'll be on that September thread shortly. 👎🏻

@whambam89 I can understand why you test! I just feel more relaxed by pretending I don't need to know until after AF is due haha. Let us know how you get on tomorrow with FMU! Fingers crossed. 😊

@Boc86 Hoping you're wrong too!!

@Tigger1987 Welcome back after a busy two weeks!! 11DPO is still early, so that line might get darker - your symptoms sound promising! I just take folic acid, b12, and vitamin D... Then Calc Fluor during TWW (no idea if it's doing anything tbh).

@LT103 I might introduce these too, even if they don't really work haha.

@BabyH88 Glad you're feeling more relaxed - hopefully it will carry through to your TWW. I can just picture a beautiful little baby stealing the spotlight at your wedding!

@BuckleUp Please keep us updated - so happy for you!!

whambam89 · 12/08/2020 20:12

My cramps stopped pretty quickly this morning so back to no cramping, no real symptoms - my boobs don't really hurt to prod but if I lie down or when I'm holding DD they're really uncomfortable. My tooth / gums are still hurting on and off and I may be weeing more than usual but that's probably due to the fact we're having a heatwave and I need to stay hydrated. I'm fully expecting AF to show because I've been thrown every other symptom in the last 3 months that I'm guessing my body has now just decided to throw in the "no symptoms symptom" 🤦🏻‍♀️

LT103 · 12/08/2020 20:25

@LeopardLover no harm in trying and I feel like I’m doing something 🤷🏻‍♀️

LeopardLover · 12/08/2020 20:44

@whambam89 Eeek! This all sounds very positive to me - do you track BBT?

@LT103 Exactly! I want to feel like I'm giving myself the best chance.

Tigger1987 · 12/08/2020 20:50

Thank you for starting the new thread!

@LeopardLover Ahh thank you! Been nice to take my mind off most of the 2 week wait!! Thank you for the tips with the vitamins. I am hopeless at taking them but want to get more into a routine. Your doing very well not to test! When is AF due?

@whambam89 That is great your cramping has eased!!! Sounds promising. Is this your longest luteal cycle? I have my fingers crossed that no AF shows.

duckii · 12/08/2020 20:59

AF is here as I thought Sad next estimated ovulation is first week of Sept (I hate my long cycles). Feel down about it.. it's nearly the end of year now.

Good luck and fingers crossed to those who are in the 2ww x

LeopardLover · 12/08/2020 21:05

@Tigger1987 I've put mine next to my bed so they are constantly in eyesight or I'd totally forget too! AF is due tomorrow but I've been cramping on and off all day so it feels imminent!

@duckii Ah, that sucks - I'm sorry! How long are your cycles? I imagine I'll be ovulating around the same time as you!

whambam89 · 12/08/2020 21:07

@LeopardLover no I don't track BBT - I think it would be too inaccurate considering I wake up at different times (basically whenever DD wakes up!) And she wouldn't be patient enough to wait a few mins so I could do it before I moved 😂

whambam89 · 12/08/2020 21:09

@Tigger1987 I had a 10 day LP last month too so if AF doesn't arrive tomorrow it'll be my longest since methotrexate. I didn't use OPKs before so not sure what my LP was, but I think it was longer than I've had the last few months. I am taking Vit B complex to try and lengthen it so maybe it's just that! Or perhaps my body is just getting back to normal.

MrsBtobe2020 · 12/08/2020 21:10

Thanks for the new thread @claireb707! Have been following all your news, I should have had AF start on Saturday, noticed cramping all last week and now nothing and no positive test. Maybe my body's properly readjusting after coming off bc?

SS123456 · 12/08/2020 21:10

Just marking me spot in here x

duckii · 12/08/2020 21:25

@LeopardLover I usually average around 45 days but my recent cycles have become shorter which is great so I would say around 37 days now.
There's still hope for you! Are you going to test or waiting till after AF date?

stickytoffeepud1991 · 12/08/2020 21:53

Hi girls!
Thanks for new thread!!
I went to post on the old one and it said thread closed! 😂
I’m not sure how many dpo I am I want to say 6dpo?? I’m not even sure if I ovulated this month as I didn’t have much ewcm however I know my BBT was raised as I was a right sweaty mess then again could of been the heat. I’m a bit shit at this still. And also the fact we only dtd once during ov cause it turned from massaging my back to sex 😂🤔.

Hope everyone is doing okay in this heat!! It’s been 24 here today which is quite high for us as we live on the coast! Xx

Sansa87 · 12/08/2020 22:12

Can I have a high five as we managed to dtd! I still don’t know if I’m going to ovulate or what’s going on with my body after the mmc, but I’m damn proud of us!

whambam89 · 12/08/2020 22:30

@Sansa87 well done! Love how you've come on here to tell us haha 😂

New "symptom" which probably isn't a symptom... A kind of tugging / sharp pain almost, on the left hand side of my uterus. Been going on for around 10 mins now... Probably nothing but I'm clearly getting to that crazy symptom spotting stage!

Sansa87 · 12/08/2020 22:45

@whambam89 it may be nothing, but I had that as one of the symptoms when I had my bfp.

& I feel I should make some sort of social media post because god damn it’s hot tonight! Anyone who has managed it deserves a medal.

We have indoor cats so can’t even have the windows open 😂

I really hope I get my peak in the next couple of days and this is just a slightly longer cycle
