Hi all

Can I join here...
Think I am 2 DPO, waiting for my temp rise..

I need something to help me in the TWW
Its killing me already

I might ease the time by using opks lol

[quote minthumbugs]@CycloGoose so glad they took you seriously! That will be so reassuring 😙

@kitty0389 you're so right about it putting you in a bad mood in the mornings. Not only do I get a bad sleep for worrying about remembering to do it it also sets me up badly for the day from the minute I open my eyes 😆 I've reduced caffeine overall. I don't normally have a lot of caffeine so it's been ok for me but I know people love their coffees! I think they say 200mg is the limit so I think everything in moderation is nothing to worry about 😊

@kaylsd haha I love that!! Working from I'm on video calls a lot so I have the pleasure of seeing my own face with that expression all the time 😩🤣[/quote]
@minthumbugs love the home work life, we have to do patient handovers sometimes on teams, love putting that beach background on, closest to what I'm gonna get other than Skegness in June for a dog staycation as we love to treat her to the seaside each year :'), I do cringe at though of hubs but I guess it's least he can do since us girls have way more to go through, including not very nice things ie here

I'll leave a pause for our fairies for what trauma they go through on a regular basis 🩸 👀😂😂😂 bless us all 😂😂😂

@CycloGoose

HAHA *@kaylsd* I love that silly face! Sorry you had a rough day. I needed this one today so thought I would share it with you, too. Hoping I can remember it coz it's hard sometimes! 27.1 isn't too bad at all hunny and don't forget it's a two way street - the pcos can contribute to weight gain as well. They'd be chuffed with you if you could bring it down a little though darling. I think putting too much stress on yourself to do anything is just the pits though. I think this is the worst for me but how to stress less about being stressed?! Conundrum of the week! Yes! I will be booking in to get my blood tests this week if I get AF as anticipated. I can't see me not getting it really with the temp drop at this time of the month. Even if they're just normal I don't mind because then I can relax and believe it will happen eventually with the 'Even Miracles Take Some Time' ethos. And if not, then hopefully there will be some next stages!

I've only noticed the weight gain since lockdown but I just keep saying to myself there wasn't much else to do so why not! Thanks for the quote petal, always lovely to read! Tonight's a pink moon and they say it's start of new beginnings to light candles and burn away thoughts and issues of the past, so I've gone abit OTT and lit 5... 😂😂 I actually giggle at thought of hubs thinking I wonder if it's a nice room or a chair against a wall, or maybe cubicle moment where your in a public toilet and lean your foot against door incase someone tries it 🤣🤣🤣 I guess we will find out soon! It gets hard at work some days but I know tomorrow will be a better day and knowing what I have on my day tomorrow it's way better than today like nearly 5000 times better so I have that to look forward to :)!

I'll leave you lovelies to a quote which represents any TTC lady who is struggling thinking that it may never happen, trust the magic in new beginnings 🥰💁🏼‍♀️ and what a way to do with today starting with the pink moon 👑

Hey there and welcome sweetheart:)!! My favourite pass times in TWW is to google the shit out of every symptom going thinking isit baby or AF 😂😂😂

but on a serious note I like to read, binge watch stuff on Netflix and walking the pooch :) you're welcome to share anything and everything on here, a good off load is better than nothing ❤️✨

@kaylsd

Thanks Hunni...
This is our 3rd month trying for our first child together...
We have other children seperately and want to complete our family :)

@CycloGoose if you do get AF it will be absolutely rotten but the consolation prize would be moving on with tests which is not the best outcome but it is something! And it's one step closer to bubba 🥰 I'm with you on the feeling grown up with hot drinks haha. Only last year got into coffee but I'm not fussy at all so decaf tea, coffee and fizzy drinks are all good with me!

@ren26 oh no get a she wee 😆 getting to the exciting bit of the cycle now then! When do you normally ovulate is it fairly early in the cycle?

Hi @mum2girls19 ohhh best of luck! TWW is not the best time 😩 we can keep you busy on here 😙 what age are your other kids?

@kaylsd the WFH life suits me perfectly. I do most of my work at night time so love being fresh out the shower, pj bottoms and a blanket over my legs 🤣 don't know how I'll cope when I have to go out again! Oh I've heard about this moon. Need to read up on it and light all the candles in the house 💫

"April's Pink Moon occurs in early springtime and is seen as the time for changes, progress and fertility
Rituals associated with the full moon include connecting with nature and manifesting dreams and goals"

YES!!!! please 💫💫💫💫

It's our sign guys, let's get out and howl at the moon 🤣🌛

Told you gal!!!! Get those candles lit, whilst it burns let the negativity burn with it and bring in new beginnings and fertility for the new moon! My friend told me about it today and was like shut the front door shall I burn some sage too to cleanse 😂 but honestly it's made me think all my battles and negativity are going to be left behind, only thing going forward is my strength, hope for new beginnings and insight to my journey ahead 🌈 🌚

Wishing you all the luck with your journey darling, I hope it's a smooth one for you to complete your family 🤞🏻❤️✨🌈

@kaylsd new beginnings 💛🌈💫

I'm already in bed and I don't know where my lighter is for the candles up here so I searched up fertility candles on images so here's one for all of us! PS. Look at the name!! Hope it's a sign! 🐝

@minthumbugs I'm okay if it's AF. I've had all my CD1 feelings today and I'm ready to face the world again tomorrow ❤️

@Ren26 pomegranate juice also supposed to be really good. I saw it today and bought some.

Thanks for sharing pink moon @kaylsd feels really appropriate. Fits with your tablets to say goodbye to your old cycle, too. ❤️🕯️

Proper CD1 today so I'm going to get my tests booked in 😊

Ahhh sorry @CycloGoose. Bittersweet one! Glad you can get started with tests, hope you're ok today. X x

I'm fine @minthumbugs I had my CD1 blues yesterday anyway. Booked in on Friday for blood tests and I've ordered the amh online as an extra for my own peace of mind.

@minthumbugs my other children are all girls, aged 12, 10, 9 and nearly 7

@kaylsd
I think FF gave me crosshairs today....but I did alter my temp because I woke really early...do you think I shouldn't of done that...
why is it always after ovulation I dont sleep well lol

Hi all...
Quick question...
I always dont tend to sleep well around ovulation

Anyway got my positive opks this weekend
I woke early yesterday and I woke early today

Do I alter my temps to the usual time on FF or do I put in the time they are?

It may alter my cross hairs :( :(

[quote minthumbugs]@kaylsd new beginnings 💛🌈💫[/quote]
@minthumbugs love it!

@CycloGoose look at the sign for the bee :o
I'm so glad that you've got booked in for your bloods darling? I know it's crap to see cd 1 but the pain in the arse witch has allowed you now to get the opportunity for your body to have answers :)! Hope your not feeling too disheartened darling you know that we are always here for you!

I don't think necessarily that waking up early is a issue for temperatures? There's a link here where you can fill it in and it corrects your temperature based on the time you usually take it :) whenmybaby.com/basalbodytemperature.php

Hey there lovely ladies! I feel abit overwhelmed today and I can't quite pin point if it's just everything with what's going on with my inlaws with my SIL due tomorrow or what buttttt

I've decided for anything from now on, I'm going to document my TTC journey as it goes along, from blood test to appointments all to be used as one big video for hopefully one day BFP announcement with a scan being the end scene to show people that they may be struggling with fertility but not want to speak about it, I saw this beautiful video of someone's ivf journey which really inspired me to take a leap out of their book in order to reduce any stigma about infertility to the real world as so many people have gone through the same journies we have, but only very few talk about it 🥰 I've found a beautiful song to match it which I find quite fitting, I've already started it and got my pcos scan result photo on it and going to try document our journey to our hopefully little one, one day! Here's the song, made me emotional listening to it 😂🙈

m.youtube.com/watch?v=NfF1b12KXFA

The songs still up for debate as it may be too
Emotional for me in the end cause I'm sat blubbering to it now sending the link to you guys but who knows maybe one dare my video journal can come together and it'll be so lovely to share with you all on here... 🤞🏻✨ positive mindset always xxxx

Saw this tonight, love it 🥺😍

@CycloGoose so glad you are moving forward with tests. Do you know when you will get results or do you have to wait until the 21 day ones are done and dusted too? X

Awww lovely @Mum2Girls19 sounds like a busy house! Sorry not sure about your temp question, I'm rubbish at it and also get a bad sleep aroung ovulation - really annoying when you're waiting to confirm. I think I would just be going off of other signs if you've had any. X

@kaylsd awww sorry you're feeling overwhelmed. I think all the baby excitement in the family will definitely not be helping at all. It will be lovely when they arrive - new relative! and definitely the cutest one! - but definitely a hard one. Remember we are all here if you need a rant. Love the idea of the video and I absolutely LOVE your song choice, it's one of my favourite songs of all time

@minthumbugs she wee is a good idea. I do have one somewhere. I usually ovulate around cd12-14 so getting close.
@kaylsd video sounds like a lovely idea. Love the song choice. I always cry at Up.
@Mum2Girls19 I think you're meant to put in the time you actually took your temp on ff. I did a late on Saturday and its put a triangle on that day to say it was a later temp than normal. I've only just started with temping though so I'm not 100% sure. My temp seems to be a bit all over the place.

@minthumbugs ps, try not to worry too much about your weight darling we're all in the same boat with lockdown life there was nothing else for us to do! Aslong as your happy and comfortable in your body, that's all that matters 🥰

@Ren26 I think it was the UP clip in the video what set me off 😭 it's a beautiful film isn't it, I cry at films easily, I even cried at the Disney film inside out when the elephant says take her to the moon for me 😫😫😫 I'm a Disney girl at heart
