Okay so I woke up this morning with a proper flow and really bad AF cramps. Thing is I'd associate this with CD1 and not CD3 so now I'm wondering if my last two days of light period actually would have counted as spotting... It was definitely a bit too much for me to have dared go without a tampon but I if it wasn't for hygiene reasons it was definitely light enough for me to have been able to wear just one tampon all day.

Now that I look at my chart I think even it is telling me that today is CD1 🙊. Thoughts?

@Juno231 I think @Newbie0818 said she'd had exactly the same thing happen to her with her SA if you read back a few messages ! Not sure on the AF front, I always count the first day of whatever as CD1 🤷🏼‍♀️

@lucyrp thanks luce - totally missed it!

Do we think my chart is still looking ok or not so much ?😬

@Minster2012 haha indeed! I totally relate though. My chart on my premom app shows we DTD daily around ovulation but either side of those days it's tumbleweeds haha, and I'm quite alright with that at the moment just can't be arsed. Both working full time plus I have my children (4 from a previous marriage).

I'm out ladies, af arrived late last night. Im gutted. But it was our first cycle of trying. Looks like a bottle of wine and chocolate tonight xx

@Dsr87 hugs. Wine and chocolate deffo x

@Franklydear hahaha oh so do I!

@Sausage1990 oh it really will be, we will forget all about how we got there and how hard it was once we have those babies!!x

@Juno231 it definitely did mine time, I would've loved to reply "maybeee", oh well, some days soon!! I usually have 2 days of spotting before a full flow, but that's spotting as in only when I wipe never enough for a pad or tampon!

@Dsr87 wine and chocolate will deffo make you feel better, Sorry af showed!x

@lucyrp I wish I could help with charts but I'm useless sorry!! So what dpo are you??

@sausage1990 I know exactly how I feel hun. I havent been on here much lately cause my heads just all over the place. Af is slowly on her way, I've cramps and very light bleeding and I'm lying here sobbing 😭 it's so unfair. Its shit. This while wk I've been feeling pretty low. Just wish the witch would hurry the fuck up and be done. I can't be dealing with my hormones like this.
All i can think about is, it should be us pregnant, telling our kids and families. I never got to share my happy news with anyone 😭

@Vil10 I am 9dpo I'm hoping 😬

I’m also out this month AF has arrived for me this morning post night shifts. Oh well at least I can continue to keep everyone company but also feel I’ll still be on the feb bus with you both @Juno231 and @Minster2012 also at the rate we are going.

Yes @Juno231, @Newbie0818 said the same thing so hopefully it doesn't mean anything 🤞🏻frustrating though. I would take today as CD1 then.

@Dsr87 oh no, sending hugs, def wine and choc needed

@2alreadywantanother I felt exactly the same when so done announced when we would have done. Then gave birth. It should have Been us. 😔

Well the sex drought for ya cane to an end last night, after another HIIT session. Fucking aching today 😂am doing lots of driving and walking in rain today with ungrateful toddlers trying to trek around a pumpkin trail in the pouring rain it gives about 40 mins drive away at SIL so no exercising for me today as won't be arsed and doubt will be arsed to DTD either! (Can't be arsed to go but hey ho)

Hopefully everyone else's day will be better

Morning ladies, another occupant of the feb bus.... I can’t find a tumbleweed imogi

@Juno231 CD1 can suck hairy balls!

@Sausage1990 I had a scan at 8weeks and was measuring 6 so knew then. But then had to wait two weeks and went back measuring smaller. Then got referred to NHS but they don’t believe private scans so had had a scan with them the next day, measuring smaller but had to go back a week later to check - started bleeding the day after scan. Went back the week later still had placenta - took to their week for that to come away. But then went two weeks later to have everything checked. I’ve had two cycles since to they have been quite long. My periods have been irregular but a few months before pregnancy they regulated, now back to irregular 🤦🏼‍♀️ Currently waiting Af three cd 30 x

@Franklydear 😂love it

@Florence13 balllllllllsssss def don't want you guys to be here with me

Yeah so officially CD1 here. In a way I'm glad it's here but emotional all the same 😭

@runnergirl1 gosh it's that's so long winded for you. I never knew it could drag on as long as it can. It's exhausting! I hope your cycles regulate again soon. I'm expecting mine to be put of whack for a bit too... We've just gota try to be patient and kind to our bodies - they've been through alot. It's hard tho isn't it.

@2alreadywantanother oh I know hun. That's how I feel - it should be us. And it's painful. There's nothing wrong with feeling what we're feeling, it just a lot of emotions to deal with... This morning there's chat in our watsapp group with the other couples with congratulations and stuff. Only 1 of the couples knows about our MMC... I can't not say anything in the group so I just put "yeah lush news guys 💕" because it's not like me to not say anything about baby news because I love baby news normally. But it's like a knife in my gut. I feel so left out.

Speaking of sex drought I think I'm probably holding the group record currently... With morning sickness & bleeding for weeks we havnt DTD since the beginning of August after which my nausea kicked in at 5 weeks and sex was taken off the menu... 3 months guys. 🙈🙈🙈

Oh and our Center Parcs holiday was cancelled last night by Center Parcs 😩😔the second time after it was originally cancelled in April. This time it was rearranged for DH's birthday week. I bet he will just work now. And it's likely when I will start on northisterone again urghhhhhhhhh this year can f ing DO ONE ladies 🖕🏻

@Sausage1990 I think you were very dignified in your response 🙌🏻and 3 months, you get the 👑😋but first totally understandable reasons lovely
I wonder if @Catherinettc has DTD yet?! 🤔 I'm so intrigued cos as I said before I would be shit scared again so would hold off!

@minster2012 hey mrs 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

All backnkn track in that department for me mostly. I'm tired and quite uncomfortable quite a lot now (I have a huge bump for only 11 weeks but 4th baby so thats probably why) but my boobs are huge and having fun with them during dtd 🤣🤣 sickness all but gone now thankfully, it was rough for a while there 😭 xx

Morning all, have been a bit quiet as since getting home things have been a mad. Sick puppy, jealous older dog, sick cat, needy other cat, vet visits, everyone always in the wrong room, mess everywhere (house still semi under renovations/moving in mess), and sick husband. And now my LH tests are looking like ovulation is round the corner so we need to somehow find time and energy for 🍆 poor OH. He did not look happy when I told him 😂 he’d rather just be sleeping.

@lucyrp Just to follow on with what @Sausage1990 said, I used to calorie restrict and it was only when I ate more (but well) and counted macros instead of calories, on top of weight lifting a few days a week, than I finally dropped the extra weight. Had about 3 stone to lose and have maintained quite nicely (give or take a bit depending on life stuff) since then (I’m 5’8” and a size 8, no idea about my weight anymore, I just go on how my clothes fit). It’s a whole different mindset to actually try and eat more food not less though! It’s really hard and scary if you’re used to restricting x

@Minster2012 off topic but as you have a dog shower, have you found a good way to organise walkies stuff by the front door? I’m planning a leash hanging system thing with storage underneath, but looking for ideas. The hall is chaos right now. That’s shit about the holiday! Can you do a small staycation instead? My OH has a big birthday coming up in a week (40) and we were going to do a big party, now he doesn’t even want it acknowledged and will doubtless also work all day ☹️

@Vil10 I’m a bit late commenting on this but I also can’t believe she said that! What a cow.

Sex chat wise - I have two close friends who’ve told me they sometimes go months without, and then realise how long it’s been and have to make the effort. And one of those is my friend who’s due to give birth any day now, pregnant first time and it was first month casually trying. Knowing how much they dtd I’m guessing it was also a one hit wonder pregnancy 😑 Didn’t even know what an ovulation test was when I talked about them 🤦‍♀️

On the brightside OH commented he’s had more energy since I put us on an intense supplement regimen. This is month 3 so it’s kicking in now.

Will try and keep more uptodate so I don’t miss replying to so many 😅

@Sausage1990 your so right we have to respect our bodies. Although I’m so frustrated I haven’t fell pregnant again straight away as we are supposed to be more fertile. Hopefully it happens again soon for both of us. Let’s have faith x

@NestinginNL that's what I'm trying to do is work out by the clothes I'm fitting in I'm a 10/12 at the moment but then I never bought bigger clothes when I was a stone heavier I just kept forcing myself into my size 10 jeans and it was so uncomfortable but I knew if I bought bigger clothes I wouldn't need to lose it as such if that makes sense. Did you do any cardio or just weights ? I prefer weights to cardio.

Hello, please may I join? I'm 3dpo, period due 6th November. This is cycle 1 ttc no 3!
