@daffodil21 go and look at the account mylifewithcows on Instagram and in her story highlights she has one about infertility, obvs it's not all relevant, but did a gratitude thing too

@Daffodil21 I don't trust anyone who can come out of 2020 lighter than they were at the beginning of the year 😂 although my fitness mission started today with a 30 mins walk around my neighborhood, need to try and keep this up!

@Welliedays thank you very much for the Instagram suggestion. I have just watched the whole thing and I didn't even know about the monitoring service!! I'm definitely going to look into that if I get pregnant again.

@Tofu35 that's good!! Keep it up!! I also went for a walk last night and planning another today

AF arrived today, which means tomorrow I'll be making my appointment for more blood tests, just more hormone profile things. I have had them done at day 24 before and now they want to do them between day 1-4. Good luck anyone still in the TWW.

I'm off on holiday for a long weekend on Friday so hoping for no internet and enjoying a good book in the bath.

Just done another run of the couch to 5k and it's getting easier! Makes me feel much better about having another chocolate digestive to replen my energy when I get back! Hopefully being a bit healthier will help next week in my next FW (give the OH more energy too 🤣he's going to need it).

@Tofu35 good luck. Please let us know how they go ❤️ enjoy your weekend away!
So sorry AF arrived.

@Bramleyapples13 good going!!

Go @Bramleyapples13! You are winning at life! 🥳

@BellaBella84 I did think this. However, after my OH has come home from work (the only day he's actually been at work this week) and needs an hour long nap after getting up at 4.30, I'm genuinely wondering how he's going to cope with a baby??

ey ladies I’m a first timer on here. Just looking for some advice, over the past week I’ve been feeling kinda funny like my lower stomach has butterflies constantly, I’m due my period next week but I’m having a really light bleed my cervix is way way back I can just feel it, it’s soft and I have no cramping apart from a slight sharp pain during the week. I don’t have any other symptoms.

🙄@Bramleyapples13 But it's a sad truth that the less you do the less you can do. It's like a messed up energy consumerism, you try to conserve it and you get rubbish interest rates, yet you spend spend spend your energy and you're rewarded with credit cards full of the stuff!

@Svm89 the only thing you can do is wait it out... in my experience it's so easy to symptom spot and be convinced there are 'signs' and then AF just shows up after you've got your hopes up.

I hope this isn't the case for you and you get your bfp soon

Happy Monday all! How's everyone doing? I'm limbering up for another FW over here. O day should be falling on the weekend which is our 1st wedding anniversary which is a bit depressing. Had imagined we'd have a baby or be pregnant by now. But, we have a lovely weekend away booked so hopefully this will be the month it happens for us! x

@CEW19 oh yeah that's a tough milestone! I hope you have a nice relaxing weekend away! It's good your FW is while you're relaxing...
We're away this weekend too - I cannot wait!

How is everyone else?

I've had a little bit of brown when wiping and a little bit of spotting in my underwear today. AF has just finished and I'm on CD9. I've never had this before so I hope it's not a messed up cycle! Just dtd and afterwards it was red more than brown when I wiped but a little watery? Does anyone know what this could mean? Maybe it's just all these billions of supplements I've been taking...

AF is here a week early 😢 25 day cycle. I had no symptoms, no indication that AF was on her way, it totally surprised me this morning. I guess I did ovulate on CD12 like the OPK said. We DTD so many times around ovulation but again, another failed month. Starting to feel so tired of this whole process

Hey @acaciabluebell how long's it been now? PMT is bad enough with the gut wrenching disappointment. My heart goes out to you ❤️

@acaciabluebell it's so hard to switch off from it isn't it. Would be nice to not think about it, and just DTD, but I'm so hyper aware of what my body is doing, it's hard not to track.

@Daffodil21Ye hopefully a bit of r&r will do the trick, but also have my tests at the fertility clinic on Wednesday so that's keeping me more at ease too, knowing that I'm doing something.

@acaciabluebell I'm so sorry AF arrived. How are you feeling today? ❤️

@CEW19 I hope your appointment does ok - let us know? Are they doing tests or initial consultation?

Thanks ladies. I was away over the weekend and was super busy the week before so the whole TTC process didn't even register in my mind - didn't do any tests or anything. Had no PMS symptoms either so I was really surprised. It's actually been a pretty painless AF which I'm thankful for.

I think being busy has helped me cope with this month better compared to previous months where I had obsessing over it and been totally devastated. I did have a little cry to my husband and he reassured me a lot, so I feel OK atm. Onto month 5 now. Hope you girls are doing okay xxx

Definitely helps when there are things to keep you busy, getting a bit easier since lockdown lifted a bit more and able to actually get out the house.

@Daffodil21 will be having ultrasound and blood tests. DH booked in for SA beginning of October. Will let you know :)

Evening ladies, how are we all? Just looking a bit of advice, so I got static smiley on Thursday which would mean i ovulated on Thurs or Fri, had one episode of bright red blood yesterday and then some more this eve which was more brown/dark red. I'm really confused as I only ovulated 5days ago max. Could it be implantation? I know this is waaaay tmi but I also have a very itchy bum! Lol!! Don't want to get hopes up but it's definitely too early for af. Helllppp!!!

@Aokbaby ooh that is a mystery, can't be of any help but I don't think you need to apologise for any TMIs here!

According to my app, I'm halfway through the fertile week although still not got the flashing or static smile yet, so in the "no pressure sex" part of the week!

@Tofu35 thanks for replying, it's strange isn't it!

Yea I know what you mean, you get a bit fed up with scheduled sex🙈

@aokbaby Sorry if this is obvious or way off base, but could you have piles?

@Aokbaby could well be implantation bleeding, could just be one of those things. Or as @BellaBella84 says it could be piles?? I suppose time will tell! If it is implantation bleeding you'll find out soon enough, so try not to overthink it (ha, useless advice, I'm sorry!)

How is everyone else?

@BellaBella84 @Daffodil21 yea I was thinking that but I've had a feel and nothing there, also the blood definitely didnt come from that end. Could still be internal though🙈 thanks ladies I'll wait it out and see 🤞
