@dublino you'll fit in well here I think...you've read the title yeah?! We all get A LITTLE (LOT) crazy in TWW! 😂I often get stitch in the same place....🤔🤔I just eat a lot though 😂🤣

@Vil10 good idea on the safe spoon shagging, sorry the northisterone is fucking you around. Is not horrible stuff. I hate it, wouldn't take it if I really didn't have too 😫😕

dublino · 31/08/2020 14:00

@Florence13 how is the sympthom spotting going. This is my first round on lethrozole and I've never had such a stressful 2 week wait in my life. I do ovulate myself but usually on day 57 etc due to pcos and long cycles. This month I went on day 14, so im half convincing myself that this is gonna work and am stressing over every little sympthom. I've had a mad thirst thirst the past two days and now I'm googling that. Need to dostract myself with something Confused

Katao · 31/08/2020 14:01

@Minster2012 enjoy the holibobs and thesneaky sex 😉 I'm forgetful and curious so can you please explain the condoms to me again? Would the ivf prep not be compatible with pregnancy at this stage is it? I know you said already but i can't remember

LaceyMermaid · 31/08/2020 14:04

Taking my seat!
@Vil10 feel for you I got no peak opk this month but think I did ov looking at my temps. However AF now arrived early and so I now had a short LP. Oh the joys!

notyetamumbuttrying · 31/08/2020 14:24

@Minster2012 I know it will, but I need him to know that we need to do it today. He's napping now 🙄 think I'll just suggest self insemination, see what he says to that..
hope you enjoy your time away!!
@Katao yeah, I'll try! I just want this so much as it'll be a year when/if AF arrives 😬 hope you're well?!
Oh hey @Newbie0818! How's things?
@Vil10 how annoying for you! Yeah he must know now.
@Florence13 pray for me 😂

Mrsi2020 · 31/08/2020 14:25

Hi ladies! Wow at the August bfps , I must have missed the most of those! Hope sept is as lucky! Xxx

Mrsi2020 · 31/08/2020 14:57

What does an opk usually look like at 3dpo? Xx

2020mission · 31/08/2020 15:08

@Mrsi2020 I've never used an OPK 3 DPO but I've tested about 1 DPO and it looked a similar level. I stop peeing on them as soon as I get a drop after a peak test having been peeing on them all week before 😂 happy to finally have a break

Vil10 · 31/08/2020 15:26

@Florence13 it's a good idea that though, like you said you sometimes focus on them too much! I haven't done as many as I usually would because it was supposed to be a relaxed month but once I see a high I'll feel fine!

@Minster2012 a spoon shag is always our go to when we're majorly hungover😂 it's horrible isn't it, i was a moody cow the week I was on it too! I know, at least you're off it now🙌🏻

@LaceyMermaid it's very unusual for me to not get a high so I'm hoping I'm just ovulating later this cycle! At least you can confirm it with your temps, I dont do mine so I have no way I've knowing other than ovulation pains and wetness!
Ohhh how annoying! How short??

LaceyMermaid · 31/08/2020 15:49

@Vil10 I’m sure you’re just a bit late this cycle due to the northisone
I don’t know how late because apps don’t match! FF says 8 days but Femometer says 12 🤷🏼‍♀️😩 I was 14dpo when Af came last month. This month it’s barely a trickle so far and last month it only got going for a bit more than a trickle for 1 day, just spotting the other 3 days really. Think somethings not right really

Terri055 · 31/08/2020 15:57

Hi ladies, can I join in please - AF due 4th or 5th, going to be be testing from Thursday 3rd xx
Good luck to everyone!

Minster2012 · 31/08/2020 16:21

@Katao they give 3 reasons for saying as soon as you are "in the IVF process you have to practice safe sex" one because they are taking control of the process to manage it so they need to know there's no possibility of you becoming pregnant...because then 2...when you phone them in day whatever it has to be of your cycle to "start your IVF process" (for us day one of a certain cycle) they then invoice you for the full amount you are booked in excluding the drugs which you don't get back if you fall pregnant. (So for us that was £1,700 fir the frozen embryo transfer then since then we've spent £300 on drugs so far, drug cost can go up it did last time)...& then as the embryo transfer looms it's also infection control & we can't have Sex for a few days before too. There is also a 4th reason that for me in this cycle I'm not being downregulated like I have been before which does mean they give you drugs to "turn off your ovaries" from producing eggs so in theory you shouldn't get pregnant anyway. But we aren't doing that this time for me to try & increase my chances so actually although they think I'm not ovulating it could happen with them stimulating my ovaries with the other drugs & then could end up with an ectopic pregnancy at the same time as any potentially pregnancy they facilitate so v dangerous. It's just not worth it 😕. Does seem silly it has to be so far ahead though. Less mess on the sheets though 🤣

@Vil10 yes me too. Awful bitch I am and I've been on it a month now 😂🙈

lucyrp · 31/08/2020 16:22

I've decided when I get my AF this cycle I'm going to start doing temps again to see if I can notice anything on there 🥴

Florence13 · 31/08/2020 16:40

@dublino I’ve been having weird pulling feeling in my lower abdomen and lots and lots of CM. But then it could all be in my head and wishful thinking. But I have also had an afternoon nap today as I was so tired which isn’t like me. Haha. What about you? Any symptoms?

mumof23188 · 31/08/2020 17:10

@lucyrp saw your reply on the other thread ..... glad your boy is looking forward to going back. I am dreading that too. My littlest has got a cold atm, hoping my DD doesn’t get it because I don’t know wether they will let her be at school?!

@notyetamumbuttrying it’s such a shit feeling coming back to cold weather isn’t it! Good old England 😂. Well Premom has me down as a 25 day cycle due to getting a peak OPK on CD11! So I’m not sure really. Testing on the 14th tho. Ahh good luck for testing aswell lovely 🤞. When did you ovulate?

Franklydear · 31/08/2020 17:21

Hi, back home now, love the tittle @Juno231, feel at home here too, I’ll be testing in a while, just holding my wee a bit longer cos usually I go to the loo every 20 min, still the same, some spotting this morning for about an hour, nothing on knickers, not bothering with pads since yesterday, COD I like to temp fate

Katao · 31/08/2020 17:22

@Minster2012 wow lots of reasons so and all makes sense but must be tough to completely hand over control like that and as you say so early out in the process. You must need great patience. Thanks for sharing!

Vil10 · 31/08/2020 17:32

@LaceyMermaid I really hope so! Hmm does sound a bit off, especially if they're different every cycle! How long have you been TTC?

@Minster2012 Hahahaha you must be a witch by now!!😂

Well just done another opk, 3 hour hold, only had 1 litre of water and a coffee today and it was even lower than this morning, but my wee was quite diluted so I think the water is the problem, either that or I ovulated yesterday when I got my darkest line so far and my wee has just been too diluted to get a dark line, don't tbink it matters this month anyway we've been shit with DTD, done it 22nd 23rd 27th 29th 30th, thinking ovulation was going to be either 29th 30th or 31st, but who knows now, will go again tonight and tomorrow and just see what happens!

notyetamumbuttrying · 31/08/2020 18:16

@mumof23188 today is ovulation day so managed to dtd just now, after a failed attempt this morning, so at least I feel in with a chance again now! Roll on 14th September!!
@Vil10 argh sorry it's not happened yet, but good going with dtd, I'm glad your Dh is always game! 😉
@Franklydear you tested yet? Best of luck!

Catherinettc · 31/08/2020 18:20

Woke up this morning loaded with the cold :(

Lazing around feeling sorry for myself cos I don't really get the cold. Its so annoying lol

@Franklydear keeping everything crossed for you ❤❤

Franklydear · 31/08/2020 18:33

Well, it’s a bfn, I don’t even know how to mark this in the app, I don’t know what the next step would be.... dh says docs but is there a point?

LaceyMermaid · 31/08/2020 18:35

@Vil10 this was only my second cycle. Come off coil after 15 years (had it removed 13 years ago ttc) so think it’s just messed up my cycles a bit. I’m sure it’ll sort itself out or I’m a bit too old - either way what will be will be for me!

LaceyMermaid · 31/08/2020 18:36

Sorry @Franklydear I think it’s worth the GP to see what they say?

notyetamumbuttrying · 31/08/2020 18:38

Sorry @Franklydear! Did you say before you didn't think the docs would do much as you've already had children? Could still be worth a chat just to see?!

Franklydear · 31/08/2020 18:38

@LaceyMermaid I am nearly 43, have health issues and one ds, I don’t see them getting exited about it, also too late for ivf, not that I would want the stress
