Starting a new thread...

@CAG14 thank you ❤️ currently 50/50 so I am very comfortable with the balance

@stepmumSW5 oh god! What fantastic timing. Does SC know you're pregnant? How do they feel about you and their dad having full custody? What a messy situation

@Stabal my sc doesn't know yet. We will wait until after twelve weeks but i feel there will be no issue from the kid's side as they've been asking for it for a long time already ❤️

@stepmumSW5 sounds like you have a good relationship with them then which is always a huge relief! ❤️ I hope everything works out and settles down. I'm sorry it's in the middle of trying to enjoy your own personal bubble. Maybe it's better it's coming now and not 6 months down the line!

@Stabal you're right, thank you 🌸

@stepmumSW5 wow...why does she want you guys to have full custody? How do you think SC will feel about that?

@Stabal Fertility friend finally confirmed ovulation...now for the fun TWW!

@butterfly5291 she wants to move a couple of hours away from where we live and have sc only every other weekend. I think sc would like living with us but surely would miss mom!?? This is not fair on the sc. And asking him which parent the child wants to live with is just torture. Imagine being asked to pick a parent? I can't imagine how horrible that must feel.

@stepmumSW5 people shock me. Why would you want to move 2 hours away from your child!! Has she always been selfish?

@butterfly5291 I don't think she has thought it through to be honest. But we at least managed to buy some time until that happens.

@butterfly5291 yay! Exciting wait! What date is your wedding? Still no ovulation for me 🙄

@Stabal argh! How long will you leave it before taking povera? Wedding is two weeks today, 15th so will be 17dpo... normally AF arrives before then but who the f knows what will happen this cycle!!

@stepmumSW5 so frustrating for you. My OH ex is very bad at communication and drives me mad!

@butterfly5291 tell me about it! She just drives me nuts texting me as if I was her PA..

So now I'm CD14 but I've had stark white negative OPK's. My periods are usually 25-26 days but I get a bit of spotting a few days before. So does this mean I'm not ovulating at all? I thought the OPK's would help me manage this stress but now seems to make it worse 😑

@butterfly5291 I think I'll wait until after my dad's anniversary as provera breakthrough bleeds are usually very painful for me and we're planning on scattering his ashes at sunset on his anniversary so I don't want to be dying lol. I'm aware that's somewhat breaking the covid rules but we had planned to do it in March before all our family birthdays rolled around but alas that was put on hold and he just would not have wanted to be cooped up for this long and it's not fair on my sister having the urn in her house, it's not helping to grieve. We'll all be outdoors and socially distanced. He was living in Germany and my step mum only agreed to give us the ashes so that we'd spread them so she's getting worked up and when she has a drink she gets emotional and messages us with quite rude things like we're not letting her husband go etc etc so it has to be done, covid or not!

@Sjevin when did you start testing? It could mean you're ovulating later than you realise which would make your luteal phase short but it's better to find these things out to start fixing them. 🤞 you see a peak soon

@stabal I started testing on CD6 but have only been testing once a day after work around 5pm. I did test a few times at night to see if I have missed it. I did see a little bit of creamy cm, sorry tmi after such a looooong time today. Since I got off the depo last year , I don't think I've had EWCM as I used to. I've seen everyone get at least a second line and get progressivelu darker but I've got just the one line 🙄

Funnily I got home after work and tested and I see a faint line, not quite there yet..

@stabal I completely understand why you need to scatter the ashes together. Im hoping this will give you all some time to grieve and be together to remember him.

@slevin sounds positive to me! Keep testing

@butterfly5291 2 weeks is so close eek! Exciting!

I have been feeling absolutely exhausted this week, like something is wrong. Struggling to get out of bed despite 8 hours sleep and falling asleep in front of the TV unable to keep my eyes open in the evening . Also have on and off headaches. Im thinking maybe it is because I'm back at work after a week's holiday but also because I'm eating really healthily so maybe my body adjusting. Obviously I wish these were early pregnancy signs but im not even due on my period for another week.

@Sjevin yay! My peak usually comes very quickly so I'd recommend testing twice a day until high then 3 times a day until you get your peak

@CAG14 it's so annoying that the symptoms could be so many things but I'm hopeful for you! 🤞

@CAG14 how many DPO are you now? I remember this time last year I got all the pregnancy symptoms and I thought I was pregnant. But it was just the depo injection coming out of my system. And then now every month I get new symptoms and I get happy. But I've told myself I won't test until AF is late, and sure enough when it always comes early or on time!

@Sjevin I am not sure as I didnt use OPKs this month as we were on holiday. I think if I were to guess by EWCM I am 7DPO. I have been a lot better the last 6 months at symptom spotting and not getting carried away and also not testing early too! But it is still hard not to wonder isnt it?

@Iloveoreos sorry I missed your post yesterday! Are your periods normally regular?

@CAG14 yeh it's very hard not to symptom check especially when summat new comes up.

Does anyone get blue visible veins during their fertile week? I've noticed that's a new thing and just wondering if anyone else gets it too.

[quote Stabal]@Iloveoreos sorry I missed your post yesterday! Are your periods normally regular?[/quote]
Hey hun.. yes normally regular..apart from rare one off months. Been weird last 2 cycles. 52 day cycle then 32cd and now 45cd and no sign of Af. I did have some cramps yesterday morning but thats about it. I am on thyroxin which i had checked 2 months ago so levels were ok although gp said it should be below 2.5 if trying to concieve and i was on borderline of that. I have blood tests for it again end of this month

@Iloveoreos hmm does seem like something odd is going on. Will be interesting to see what the levels come back as! I would definitely mention the long cycles too. The provera I'm going to take to kick start my cycle is something your GP could consider giving you too
