@Dogmum13 @SparkyLauz @gracie2307 I'm with you on the November bus!

@gracie2307 I'm sorry to hear you are suffering, I hope you feel better soon.

@PurplePops I love being organised with it all but I do think it adds extra pressure if it doesn’t happen when you’ve done everything right.
Not been trying long at all, only on second month but had to wait 4 months for my implant to be removed due to COVID so ttc had to wait.
I feel like im probably out this month but trying to balance being optimistic and realistic 😂.
How long have you been trying?

SarahMumof1DS · 20/10/2020 14:25

@MamaPheebz I was peeing every hour yesterday which isn't like me and went to bed early feeling exhausted and started getting a bloated feeling near my bladder so started to think maybe might be pregnant. But then woke up at midnight feeling so hot and sick! Threw up a few times and had a bad tummy too so think I ate something bad. Feeling rough today too. But thought I'd just do a test this morning on a cheapie and BFN. Not needing to pee as much today and CM has reduced. Just gonna wait for AF now. AF is due Sunday.

@Lemongrass9 I thought I would be chill about it at first but I just can't help myself, thinking about tracking BBT too next month, do you do that? Ahh that must have been annoying waiting 4 months! I've got my fingers crossed for you this month! X

Its my first month so didn't expect it to happen tbh, I have had spotting, no positive ovulation and a lot of pain in lower right side so have been a bit worried but will see what next month brings! Xx

SarahMumof1DS · 20/10/2020 14:34

@MamaPheebz do you know if you ovulated in the end?

Lemongrass9 · 20/10/2020 14:38

@PurplePops it was annoying but had a bit of weight to lose so just used the time to focus on that.

I thought I would be chilled too and I was last month - I did a test day before AF was due, saw it was negative so chucked it in the bin, had a shower and got on with my day without another thought. Wish I could bring myself some of those relaxed vibes now 😂.

I don’t track my temperature but thinking about doing it, I’ve added a thermometer and some preseed to my amazon basket and will order if AF comes this month.

The first month is so hard with not knowing what to expect...hoping you catch quickly too xx

Dogmum13 · 20/10/2020 14:43

@SparkyLauz I have 2 poodles 🥰

My longest one ever was last month at 30 days, this month was only 25! Don't know what is going on as I'm normally 27/28 days

Emc16x · 20/10/2020 16:22

Doesn’t look like the clomid worked! Cramping, boobs are getting sore and my face is covered in spots! Seems like AF is coming!!

gracie2307 · 20/10/2020 17:09

Hi @Sunflowers81

Thank you for your message! I am ok thank you, I think I just need some more sleep tonight and dose up on painkillers!

How are you? Xx

gracie2307 · 20/10/2020 17:18

@Theawkwardblonde

Thanks everyone for the well wishes-means a lot. DH has been a bit more acknowledging of the strain it's having on me. Annoyingly enough the bleeding stopped after a few hours so now I'm in the position again of waiting to see where my full blown period is. The bleeding was early, as I'm not due AF until tomorrow, but it didn't get any heavier. Just some wipes on the evening. Had the slightest brown spotting but not much else. I'm sick as a dog too, full of cold and have picked up a sickness bug which is annoying. Feck knows what my body is doing this month 😞 bloody fed up.
Hi @Theawkwardblonde

Its good to hear that your DH has been a bit more supportive. Did you talk to him more about how you are feeling?

You poor thing, it sounds like your body is going right through the wars. Without sounding like a herbal hippy, Echinacea can work wonders for fighting off colds and upping Vitamin D temporarily whilst you are under the weather (maybe when the sickness has subsided). I have asthma and pick up colds so easily which often turn into full blown chest infections but since regularly upping my vit D and echinacea, colds have been less severe/dont pick them up as often. I hope that helps? Be kind to yourself and your body 😊 xxx

Farfaraway1 · 20/10/2020 18:33

@SunnydazeQ I think I’m around 10-11dpo although not entirely sure. I’m going to do another test Wednesday afternoon to see if maybe I have any luck with afternoon wee 🙊 I’m pretty sure I’ll be on the November bus now though.. I did have sore boobs but that seems to be going now.. ☹️

SarahMumof1DS · 20/10/2020 20:07

@Theawkwardblonde it's nice to hear you and OH are on better terms and I hope that feeling a little better for it. It sounds like you might still be in with a chance. Will be praying for your BFP and for the witch to bugger off! Sorry you're not feeling to well tho, I was up last night throwing up and other end too, think it might have been bad prawns or something I at yesterday. Sounds like you might have some positive symptoms tho so fx for you xx

OP posts:
SarahMumof1DS · 20/10/2020 20:11

@Emc16x they can be good symptoms too so you're not out yet! Keeping my fx for you!

SunnydazeQ · 20/10/2020 20:18

@BuildingThings thank you!! Not too bad today with the tea. Little headache but it disappeared this evening so will do tea again tomorrow morning. X

@gracie2307 I am well thank you! Negative OPK this morning which I expected. Should ovulate at the weekend but as last month was weird due to early miscarriage decided to to test earlier in my FW. Hope your AF pains have subsided and you're taking advantage of the timing with a drink or 2 😊

@Farfaraway1 @SarahMumof1DS and @Emc16x sending positive vibes and baby dust your way for BFPs in the next few days when you test 🤞x

SunnydazeQ · 20/10/2020 20:29

@Theawkwardblonde happy to hear you and your other half are in a better place. Men are definitely geared up differently from us and TTC puts that extra strain on us which they don't get. Don't think my husband has read up or watched a single video about having a baby. 🙈😄 Hoping you get your BFP soon xx

SarahMumof1DS · 20/10/2020 20:54

Thanks @SunnydazeQ I don't think I have much chance this month as only DTD a couple of times and not that close to when I think I've ov'd. Not supposed to be trying this month anyway so will be pretty shocked if I do get pregnant.

I'm so sorry for your recent loss and I wish you all the luck and baby dust for this month ☺️ xx

OP posts:
Lemongrass9 · 21/10/2020 02:30

I’m out...AF has woken me up with some serious cramps so it’s a sleepless night of hot water bottle, painkillers, and Netflix for me.
Sending positive vibes for anyone testing in the next few days 😊

Farfaraway1 · 21/10/2020 03:36

@Lemongrass9 sorry to hear that ☹️ I will see you on the bus next month I’m pretty sure!!

Farfaraway1 · 21/10/2020 03:37

@SunnydazeQ thank you! Flowers not getting my hopes up but I guess only time will tell.... 😕

Farfaraway1 · 21/10/2020 03:54

Pretty sure I’m out ladies - just tested again (it’s Wednesday afternoon here) and BFN. 😒 App is saying I’m around 11dpo but most likely I’m more than that as I’m pretty sure I ovulated early this cycle so would expect to see a result by now? Or am I being defetist?

Theawkwardblonde · 21/10/2020 08:20

@SunnydazeQ thanks for the kind words.
@gracie2307 thanks! I've actually started taking vitamin d this last month and some other multivitamins to boost my immunity.

@SarahMumof1DS I'm not optimistic. I started taking the seven seas TTC vitamin (folic acid) and gave heard that can wreak havoc on your cycle. Im still feeling nauseous and I'm so tired. Boobs huge and tender too, but again that's normal for me pre AF. Due today. Hoping it's not going to be another late one like last month. Goodness knows what my spotting was, it definitely was too light to be a period. Hope you're feeling better after your funny tum! Do you think you're in with a chance? When are you due AF?

Theawkwardblonde · 21/10/2020 08:22

@Emc16x how are you getting on? I saw a notification that you had tagged me a few days ago but couldn't find it so apologies, my brain is a bit blah at the moment.

SarahMumof1DS · 21/10/2020 08:22

@Farfaraway1 I think you're still in with a chance even if you did ov a bit earlier.
I'm feeling defeatist too as my temp went down today and it's not looking good (tho I my thermometer has been questionable lately). My app says I'm due AF Sunday so still got a few more days but I'm pretty sure the 🧙‍♀️ is coming. Hard to keep positive when it gets close to AF due isn't it. x

@Lemongrass9 im sorry AF came. Baby dust for BFP next month x

OP posts:
PurplePops · 21/10/2020 08:26

@Lemongrass9 aww sorry to hear that, I'm pretty sure ill be on the bus with you next month too! Xx

Lemongrass9 · 21/10/2020 08:32

Thank you @Farfaraway1 @SarahMumof1DS @PurplePops

I’m actually feeling really okay about it...I’ve decided that I find AF starting much less disheartening than BFNs so hoping that will stop me testing too early going forward.

Treating myself to a slow day today, going to have some chocolate and wine this evening🍫🍷.

I really hope you’ll get your BFPs this month xx
