@stepmumSW5 aww bless you, it really is terrifying and you've no idea how it really feels until you're in the position. Even more terrifying is most women go into pregnancy not knowing the statistics for loss at all, it's all such a taboo subject. I really hope everything continues to go well and I'm so excited to hear about your scan! Please show us a picture when you get it 🥰🥰 my temp went down by 0.02 this morning so wasn't ovulation but not worried, still plenty of time to happen and at least I know I didn't miss some days to DTD

stepmumSW5 · 16/09/2020 17:18

@Stabal thank you 🙏 hoping your opks pick it up then and happy baby dancing. Keep us informed of how it goes xx

[quote stepmumSW5]@Iloveoreos I got cold sweats and chills before my BFP. I had the weirdest temperature changes. I felt lie a menopausal lady. I had hot flashes. This was around 10 dpo.[/quote]
Still no aF yet. I did order FRER from amazon which arrives today but not using it yet. Will wait to see what happens.

Did you have any other symptoms prior to testing?

stepmumSW5 · 16/09/2020 22:26

@Iloveoreos no that was all and they were the strongest symptoms so far. After that kinda went mild and i had other symptoms but all mild

LT103 · 16/09/2020 22:46

Weeelllll. Not so much a relaxing break just yet. OHs car broke down in the middle of nowhere on a busying road. Managed to get a tondrive us back an hour to nearest town and booked a b&b for the night and a hire car for tomorrow so we can still enjoy the holiday while car gets fixed. Nightmare, but hopefully all ok from tomorrow 🤣🤣

Livvi2021 · 17/09/2020 08:56

Hiya everyone. How's everyone doing? Been offline a bit lately as trying to organise a new bathroom 😬 probably not the best time if the sickness is about to kick in lol. X

Morning..just having breakfast.toast with butter and honey yummm

On a separate note I feel like im getting a cold now Confused

Livvi2021 · 17/09/2020 10:21

@Iloveoreos mmm that sounds nice! Not the cold, that sounds crappy. I've just had a nasty cold! Time of the year isn't it 😥

Mia1985x · 17/09/2020 13:34

@LT103 ooh no what a start to your break. But hopefully all sorted now 🤞🏻

@stepmumSW5 and @Livvi2021 so nice to hear from you both. Hope you are both getting on well. How exciting that you have an ultrasound at the end of the month @stepmumSW5 hopefully its hear before you know it. Well done on resisting testing every day, that must be such a temptation! And so much conflicting advice out there on what is and is not ok to eat isn't there.

CAG14 · 17/09/2020 16:58

Hey ladies just to let you know I am off on hols this weekend to Cornwall for a week so probably won't be on here. FW begins next week so that is good timing for some romantic holiday sex haha! Hope you are all alright and hopefully when I return there will be some lovely BFPs!!

Sjevin · 17/09/2020 19:47

Hi everyone, I've been following your thread for sometime now, hope you don't mind me joining. Been ttc for a year now, have had blood test to check everything is OK as I have overactive thyroid and thought that might me an issue. They said everything is fine and to come back after 6 months. I feel really lost right now but trying to stay positive. Smile I did try preseed for three months but that didn't work.

Livvi2021 · 17/09/2020 20:35

@Mia1985x I think everything is going okay lol as stepmum says it's hard as you've just got to wait and with little symptoms as yet you just have to trust everything is okay. I do feel exhausted all the time and my boobs hurt though lol. Also get crampy from time to time. I have my first midwife apt beginning of next month.

@stepmumSW5 have you been having many symptoms - I know what you mean about wanting to test every day lol I also just want to tell everyone but know that's a bad idea.

@CAG14 have a lovely holiday ❤️

stepmumSW5 · 17/09/2020 21:26

@Livvi2021 hello 🌸 my breasts are sore and itchy, i feel tired and hungry and i sometimes have a bit of heartburn. And my tummy is super bloated. How are you?

@Mia1985x indeed! I just can't wait for the scan now 💕💕

Hope everyone is well and happy BDing!

Livvi2021 · 17/09/2020 21:56

@stepmumSW5 little bit of heartburn and nausea when I lay down on an evening. Slight cramping, boobs sore. I feel bloated too although can't work out if it's my imagination lol. Main thing is I'm just exhausted all the time. X

27DONFIN · 17/09/2020 22:01

@Sjevin that’s good they’re not concerned and said to try for a further 6 months. How are you feeling about it all?

butterfly5291 · 18/09/2020 21:32

Happy Friday everyone!

@LT103 oh no! Hope you got there ok in the end and having a lovely time.

@CAG14 hope you have a love relaxing time in Cornwall and get some chilled baby dancing in!

@Stabal how are you? I caved and bought preseed.. arrived yesterday but the box was all smashed. OZh just complained to Amazon and got a full refund! Now he's just said what if that's bad karma and we don't get pregnant!

Stabal · 18/09/2020 21:56

@butterfly5291 hey, sorry been a bit absent. My sisters been in hospital so a little stressful. Haven't been doing OPKs but still temping and no ovulation yet. Will probably write this month out lol. Hooray for the full refund! Maybe it's a good sign rather than bad, don't listen to OH haha!

butterfly5291 · 18/09/2020 22:12

@Stabal oh no I'm sorry. Is she ok? Hope it's nothing too serious. Did you buy any this month?
Well I guess I could look at it like that 😂

OP posts:
Stabal · 18/09/2020 22:25

@butterfly5291 she's had complications from a burst appendix and it's led to severe diverticulitis. She's okay but may need surgery, they're trying to get the infection under control. I didn't buy any in the end but I'm still considering it. Will probably wait for next month now though! Let me know how you get on lol we never really use lube so it seems a bit daunting to me 😂

butterfly5291 · 18/09/2020 22:41

@Stabal ah jeez that sounds awful. Really hope she's ok.
No we never use it either....had to explain to OH that I've not gone off him and it's for a different reason!

OP posts:
Stabal · 18/09/2020 22:49

@butterfly5291 thank you! Hahaha bless him. My OH is freaking out about the timings of it because I said I'd rather insert it the 15 minutes before rather than interrupt the moment.. So I think that's what is putting me off. I don't want it getting in both our heads and not being able to get the job done so to speak lol it's all so romantic isn't it 🙄

Sjevin · 19/09/2020 00:45

@27DONFIN i had a complete breakdown a month ago and I just felt like it's never going to happen. I haven't been using OPK's so will start this cycle. Just started my period I think, but I always seem to get spotting a few days before and then it's just heavy for two days and then light again. I also got conceive plus to try.

butterfly5291 · 19/09/2020 11:41

I've got the fertility monitor, used it last month and it started asking for test from CD8 and I got low reading until CD11 then got high CD12-CD16 and peak CD17 then ovulated CD18
This month I missed the first few days when it was asking for tests, did them past two days and got low reading then today CD13 it didn't ask for a test...even though I'd already done one! I'm not getting any reading on cheap OPKs but I am getting watery CM. I get anxious at this time in case I don't ovulate!

@Sjevin sorry to hear you've been struggling. Although you could just be totally missing your fertile window if you've not been tracking it. Really recommend fertility friend for monitoring temperature using 2 decimal places bbt thermometer as well as OPKs

OP posts:
Stabal · 19/09/2020 12:15

@butterfly5291 just done an OPK and it's a faint line so I'm in the same thought process right now, "I'm not going to ovulate this month!" ugh!
