@Sparklingwine1 for me it’s the hair straighteners, I always panic that I’ve left them on 😂

@HRP1990 i know haha luckily I've had birthdays galore and an exam to keep me occupied. Got birthdays galore this weekend as well lol my mind will thank me but my bank account not as much lol!

@Peachycream I hate that too! And @Sparklingwine1 I am the worst for being halfway somewhere and thinking if I locked the door haha!

First day back working today after some time off and of course it wouldn't be work without being greeted with IT issues and everything logging you out 🤣

Erugh, so, I’m waiting for an appointment, however I’m yet to be contacted about it and the wait to find out when it will be is absolutely agonising. I’m so anxious I feel sick from 8:30am until 5pm while the phone lines are open. It’s killing me, do I be the irritating person and ring the appointment line again? 😫

Hey @Peachycream I 100% would ring again, you literally sound like exactly how I would be in that situation, sending hugs lovely I do hope you're alright xx

@Aries491 I’d rather just know when it’s going to be and get on with my life until that day, I rang again, all I got it we will hopefully contact you by Friday, if you haven’t heard call again. I feel like I’ve aged 100 years in the last 2 and a half days 😂 xx

@Peachycream I know what you mean its disrupting not knowing. Ugh I hate that it's just like passing the book so stressful! :-( hopefully they contact you sooner rather than later!! I sometimes think annoy them so much they just have to give you one there and then lol 😆 bit naughty I know but I did it with my smear test last year hounded them till I got it (had positive HPV previous year so was nervous and just wanted to know)

@Aries491 it becomes all consuming doesn’t it? I’m sure some people who are well adjusted in life just get on with it, I am not one of these people 😂
I did think about doing that and just calling every day until I get somewhere, but then the idea of ringing again and the same person answering the phone and being like “you rang yesterday didn’t you” also gives me anxiety 😂
How did you smear go this time?

@Peachycream I hate having things hanging over me to be honest - just like getting things done 🤣
Haha I know what you mean, I'd just do it anyway they might forget lol!! If the appointment is important to you then I would try and get it sorted.
Ah it went fine thanks all normal so was very lucky the HPV went away on its own :)

@Aries491 oh well that’s good, I didn’t know that could happen? At least it was all fine and now you can move on, I hate smear tests haha.

I’m waiting for a call back now, but who knows when that will be haha

Hi everyone! Hopping back on after a while away trying not to symptom spot too much as I didn’t get a whiff of anything during early dpo days.

AF nowhere to be seen for me atm but getting BFNs even 2 days late on CB digi today. Got some FRER on the way, although this is becoming an expensive month! If af doesn’t come I’m going to try to hold out poas until Friday morning fmu. Frustrating but also trying to keep busy / not obsess. Anyone with me in waiting out af?

@OoFaithoO I'll soon be at that stage. I'm quite a POAS addict, I'll be 6/7 DPO tommorow and going to a wedding and kinda want to know if I'm ok to have a drink or 2 so might actually test in the morning - though it 99% certain to be negative at this stage.

I'm going to cut down on the ttc threads I'm on as I'm starting to get really overwhelmed. I will pop my head in sometimes. Thanks for all your support the last few cycles. You are a great bunch of ladies and I sprinkle baby dust to you all xxx

@Sparklingwine1 my temp drop is always the day of AF if that helps

Hope you're ok @80sPadme and feel more in control of it all soon

@Peachycream @Sparklingwine1 I do all of those things on a regular basis! Even forgot my keys once and locked them in the house. My memory is horrendous! People talk about having 'baby brain' - I worry it's going to be more like 'baby dementia' for me 🤪

In the thick of the TWW here. Didn't do any testing until last month but went a bit crazy with it which I don't want to do again. Think I'm 6dpo of what is usually 11 day LP - when would you start and how often for your sanity?

@Lalala1985 Poas addict here too! I’ve had to start being more selective as bfns were so disappointing after a while. Good luck with testing, if anything hopefully the wedding will take your mind off of the tww!

@Eli707 I’m now about 18DPO and started testing about 8DPO. Like you I’ve been a bit crazy and have taken loads of tests. If I’m out then next month I’ll try to hold out until a bit later, maybe 9/10DPO and try to test with fmu every 2 days.

@80sPadme I am 100% with you on that. I've decided to do the same.

@Peachycream you need one of those smart plugs! I was forever doing the same until DP bought me one and now I can just use an app to switch on/off at the plug! Honestly worth every penny!

I'm CD24, no idea when 🧙‍♀️ is due, usually I have a 28 day cycle but given my OPKs this month I'm assuming it's be a 28-40(ish). Kinda grateful she's not here now. The idea of this heat plus period pants - that might actually do me in!!

@OoFaithoO I will soon be there too, AF due next week not even sure what dpo I am as never tracked just dtd as much as possible although stopped when it got too hot 😅!! It does get bloody pricy though doesn't it l, tests aren't cheap!!

@SareBear87 and @80sPadme hope you're both alright, it can get overwhelming so just make sure you look after number one. We will all still be here if you need anything I'm sure ♥️♥️

Hope you're both ok @SareBear87 and @80sPadme just do what you need to do and come back when you fancy a natter.

AF Due today for me. I think she will be here soon as my temp dropped this morning.

I actually really want to get the 🧙🏼‍♀️ so I know when next cycles predicted FW is as I know I won't be with DH for the whole of it due to being away.

I think our chances next month will be pretty slim because I think the second half of the FW we won't be together 😒 but I guess these things happen.

@Aries491 have you found this month less stressful without tracking? Or has it been more stressful because you've have to DTD quite constantly? I read that DTD 2-3 times a week should be enough regardless of when O day is.

Hey @Sparklingwine1 :)
In all honesty I've not found it too bad, I have had a really busy month so maybe that's just helped take my mind off things lol but I have quite liked just going with the flow. I did make sure we dtd a few times a week and focused round when I assumed O was based on my AF but tbh we've only managed once this week cos of the heat!! I feel so uncomfortable in the heat lol 😆

Hopefully your AF doesn't show for you today lovely! If she does then fingers crossed for the next round ♥️♥️ ttc is such a roller coaster of emotions and everything so i hope you're feeling alright xx

I'm totally fine but with the kids at home and me getting a bit obsessive with ttc I'm just scaling back a bit. I don't want my emotional well-being to take a hit if I become really OCD about it

@80sPadme definitely not got to look after your emotional wellbeing:)

I started having some brown tinged cm (sorry tmi!!) When wiping twice today, put a pad on but nothing on there when I checked. I am guessing I could be 9-11 DPO and my usual LP is 14 days so AF predicted either 26th or 27th. Anyone else ever experienced this? Hoping it's not AF showing early to ruin my weekend plans haha xx

@Aries491 That could be implantation bleeding. Fingers crossed for you that it is

Thanks @Lalala1985 I went really dizzy as well like my head spun mad when I was making a smoothie just before so god knows could be the heat could be something else. Will just keep an eye on it and see :) how are you? How is everyone else today?

@Aries491 7DPO today and I've been grumpy as anything the last few days, probably just the heat though. . My post-O temps have definitely been higher this cycle which I'm hoping will help but fairly sure it's just the heat again.

@Lalala1985 hopefully its not just the heat lovely! Fingers crossed for the rest of your TWW xx
