@MrsB2019x ooh that's so exciting! Enjoy your new house!
@Tigger1987 @stickytoffeepud1991 hope you both get your cycles sorted soon. AF for 2 cycles after stopping the pill was mega light (which I know isn't actually a problem) however now it's back to what I remember as a teenager which I'm taking as a positive, maybe my two in June and July were anovulatory?

MrsB2019x · 21/08/2020 08:06

@Tigger1987 @MrsBtobe2020 Thanks! We’re so happy but there’s a lot to do 😂

@kirinm You poor thing, you must feel rotten! Take care of yourself x

Sansa87 · 21/08/2020 09:11

Feel better @kirinm ❤️

I’m feeling a bit periody so maybe I will come on when I’m due and I just ovulated really late.

Feeling a bit bleh about it

claireb707 · 21/08/2020 10:45

Massive hugs @kirinm get well soon!

Think I'm going to either ovulate late this month or not at all. I'm cd12, normally I've had 2-3 days of flashing smileys by now but big fat 0 so far 😢

@claireb707 same here. I normally ovulate day 14 and I’m currently day 19. Finally got a high on opk and lots ewcm so hopefully peak later today or tomorrow and ovulate over the weekend. Guess my body just wanted to keep me on my toes!!

@kirinm hope you’re feeling better soon

@MrsBtobe2020 I think it’s normal for it to take a couple of months to sort itself out. We didn’t start trying for a few months after stopping pull and I didn’t pay any attention to it but mine seem settled now

Sansa87 · 21/08/2020 12:50

@claireb707 my cycle was weird this month, & I didn’t peak until cd20/21

Maybe something in the air?

Sansa87 · 21/08/2020 13:14

I can’t remember if it was @MrsB2019x or @MrsBtobe2020 who advised the paint app, but I’m having SO much fun! Just want one pink wall in the dressing room so testing out the pinks 🥰

Buying a house is hard. We have received so many pdf files and a draft contract (with one of my middle names wrong) I haven’t ever bought before so I don’t know if this means we are really close to exchanging, or I’m still looking at months

@sansa87 it wasn't me but I love those colours!!

claireb707 · 21/08/2020 17:00

Sadly @Sansa87 based on my experience it could still be weeks away yet 😢 but there is still a chance it could be soon. Just depends on your conveyancer and theirs

OP posts:
Sansa87 · 21/08/2020 17:12

@claireb707 I’m not too bothered if it’s still weeks, thankfully we love this flat. Oh bought it two years ago. We just wanted a house together for when we have a family. I just hate not knowing exactly when 😂 I want to know if I should be sorting stuff, & packing, or if there’s still plenty of time 😬

We’ve had the reports back, and three issues have been raised, but now had some stuff to sign and send back with no date on them as that will be added on completion.

This being an adult is tough.

I keep thinking I have to be near testing time, surely? This 2ww is definitely longer than the last one 😅

89Ann · 21/08/2020 19:37

@Sansa87 are you going to test early? Did you last time?

I am going to wait until the day AF is due. As long as she doesn’t show up before of course

Tigger1987 · 21/08/2020 19:38

@kirinm Oh that sounds so rough, really hope the drip is helping and you begin to feel more yourself soon.

@claireb707 It is amazing sometimes how quick an OPK can turn positive though so hopefully your peak is just round the corner.

@Sansa87 That colour really looks lovely. Buying a house is so hard especially when lots of things are happening at once. I am lucky that my dad is my mortgage advisor within an estate agents so mega helpful. I hope the house buying process goes as smooth as it can for you.

Tigger1987 · 21/08/2020 19:41

No big update from me, still no AF, another small temp rise and maybe a little cramping but nothing really. What a fun cycle!

Sansa87 · 21/08/2020 20:58

@89Ann nooooo, I will put off testing as long as I can. I hate it. I’d rather be ignorant to it 😂 I think I was 16/18dpo when I tested for my bfp in June

stickytoffeepud1991 · 21/08/2020 20:59

Evening girls!
Sorry haven’t replied to people! Been on a 13 hour shift and feel a bit crap.
So CD32 according to ovia. Still no AF but feel like she could turn up tomorrow.
Last tested Wednesday and it was BFN.
Surely If I was pregnant would of picked it up on the cheapie test I did Wednesday as will be 14DPO tomorrow Not sure what to do. Xx

stickytoffeepud1991 · 21/08/2020 21:31

Ok so tested.
BFN.
Come on AF where you at??? X

MrsBtobe2020 · 21/08/2020 22:55

@stickytoffeepud1991its so frustrating waiting for AF! I essentially change what I'm waiting for every couple of weeks, it doesn't stop, quite exhausting haha!

claireb707 · 22/08/2020 09:24

Flashing smiley on cbd and quite strong but not yet peak on cheapie this morning 😁

OP posts:
Sansa87 · 22/08/2020 16:24

Not feeling great. I have stomach cramps, and I can’t remember what af pains feel like, which is ridiculous. I’m 33 and was only pregnant for 10 weeks 🙄 I’m 6/7dpo I think, but if I have gone back to a normal cycle af is due Monday...

I see why people wait a whole cycle to ttc after mc now.

LT103 · 22/08/2020 19:46

Finally!! After testing from cd8, I finally have a line with some decent colour. Had loads ewcm last few days so should hopefully be peak tomorrow and ovulate on Monday 🤞🤞 over a week later than usual!!
Plus, despite thinking this month would never happen with oh being so stressed and busy with work, we managed to dtd year so hopefully will manage today/tomorrow and should at least be in with a shot this month!

MrsB2019x · 22/08/2020 22:51

@Sansa87 The app is amazing isn’t it! That pink is gorgeous ☺️ We were in process from March until Wednesday when we moved in. Felt like a proper long slog. We had some issues come up in our survey that the seller needed to fix though so think that’s what took up the time.

@stickytoffeepud1991 Wtf is going on, must be driving you mad!

Good lines @LT103, looks like it will be soon!

No major update from me, CD10, not feeling a lot. Due to ov late next week. Mine and DH’s first wedding anniversary on Tuesday and we’re going back to our venue for a night away, hopefully that night will be the lucky one!

stickytoffeepud1991 · 22/08/2020 23:21

Thanks so much girls.
Think AF has finally arrived. Went to the toilet at work earlier on and what I can only describe as a blob of mucus with a bit of brown old blood was there and I had that last month.
Then went again later and it was still mucus but with a tinge of red/pink.
If I do come on AF fully tomorrow then I’ll class that as CD1 and that it’s been a 33 day cycle! I’ve never been that long! No idea how to track my next ovulation now! But glad I can move on, have a drink on holiday and start again !
Thanks for thinking of me girls!! Xx

MrsB2019x · 23/08/2020 00:14

@stickytoffeepud1991 Sorry it’s arrived ☹️ I guess you can now get closure and move onto the next one x

Sansa87 · 23/08/2020 07:35

7dpo and got cramps. Can’t find a tampon to take to work with me 😔

It’s either af is still going to coming tomorrow, or my cycle could still be longer this month, & potentially implantation cramps.

My boobs don’t hurt, & they usually hurt around af.

Really think I’m out, which I was expecting due to it being straight after the mmc, but I feel a lot more bummed than I thought I would.

Expecting the worse surprisingly doesn’t protect you from the sadness of the inevitable worse.

MrsBtobe2020 · 23/08/2020 08:16

@sansa87 I'm hoping for implantation for you 🤞completely agree though, expecting the worst is just as bad as hoping for something, they generally both end in disappointment! However I will continue to do it until I actually get a bfp 😅
