@MrsGrealish @alwaysseeingstars still nothing so far but I can feel a bit of cramping starting so I'm assuming this will be it now. I'm at work all day so can't test yet anyway 😂 if nothing comes of it then first thing tomorrow I'll test.

Aw decorating will be fun! It's not sunny here today either but it's still very warm. Not much of a breeze going on. Are you in Ireland? I seem to remember you saying that somewhere x

@MamaSJ15 yep Northern Ireland so it's a bank holiday for us now. Sorry about the cramping though. (Hate the cramps) Hopefully nothing comes of it. Would love to see a bfp ❤️ Xx

@MrsGrealish oh is it? Bank holiday on a Tuesday is a bit random isn't it?
I'm in Wales 😊 I could not bare to be in the south where it's hotter!
Thank you, it's on and off so hard to know what's going on!

@MamaSJ15 and Wednesday. 12 July people go crazy, lighting bonfires setting fire to cars, another reason for decorating DDs room today..keep out of the madness and hunker down

Ah Wales lovely but a good bit further south than me..the heat 🥵

@MrsGrealish that's fab news you're feeling great, and enjoy decorating!!
@MamaSJ15 Oh no, hope you're OK (and still hoping for a BFP for you!)
I'm in the South West, v warm but cloudy today! Have a week off so making the most of the good weather to get some gardening done 😄

Oh ladies saw on another thread there's an offer on FRERs and CB digital ovulation tests on Amazon prime today..just in case you need any xx

Ah fingers crossed it's not actually af @MamaSJ15

8dpo today and (obviously) did a cheapie because I can't help myself and obviously negative 🤣 got some light cramping which sometimes I get for a few days before af because of my endometriosis, although haven't really had it the last few months. Not expecting it to be anything because of our dire DTD timing this month 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh great thanks @MrsGrealish ill get on Amazon now and order some FRERs

@MrsGrealish oh wow really? What's the bank holiday for? Anything specific?
Oh thanks! I've just bought some FRER, probably won't need it now but always good to have some in 🙈

@Tropicana1 thank you 😊 I have a feeling it's on its way unfortunately. Cramps are still only on and off though. Will update later

@MrsGrealish okay so I caved and did a test, BFN, so either this is AF starting off a bit slow or its implantation which would mean I'd need to wait a few days to see anything on a test I guess. Probably just AF though.

@MamaSJ15 limbo land. Assume the worst and you won't be disappointed. I can keep my hopes up for u though🤞

I dunno the bank holiday is some political thing 🤷‍♀️. I know very little about it and I don't really want to comment in case I offend someone. In any case it's nice to have a few days off 😊

@alwaysseeingstars I have paint in my hair, on my shoes ugh

@MrsGrealish thank you. I'm fully expecting AF.
Ah okay fair enough! Yeah I'd be happy with the days off too haha.
How did the decorating go?

@MamaSJ15 covered in paint..first coat on. Did my poor female trick of 'I can't do this anymore' and DH stepped in 😂 2nd coat tomorrow furniture arrived on Thursday. DD can hoard some amount of crap, bins are full 🙄

@MrsGrealish haha I'm sure you had lots of fun though!
Still no AF for me. Had a little more brown but nothing that would indicate full AF by any means. Cramping stopped shortly after it started. No idea what's going on. It literally could just be a really weird start to AF, everything tends to change after miscarriage apparently. Really odd though.

@MamaSJ15 anything is the new normal it's soo annoying. I've had itchy boobs and cramps today like way too early when AF due in 7 days. Just rolling with it hopefully this is some kind of old blood from your miscarriage which is working it's way out for a new pregnancy. Nothing surprises me anymore. Good the cramping has stopped😊 Fx for something positive tomorrow xx 😘

@MrsGrealish just a slow start to AF, starting now. So I'd say today is CD1 now haha.

@MamaSJ15 ugh sorry hun, can I ask though how many days was your cycle? I've a bit of brown discharge and it's only CD22 🙄

@MrsGrealish 29 days this time. But my first period after the miscarriage came about 2 weeks early so I didn't really know what to expect this time.

@MamaSJ15 ah sorry that it's arrived in full flow!
I've had a temp rise this morning (9dpo) which may be something of nothing as was up half the night with a sick toddler so waiting to see if it's a sustained ride. Cheapie bfn this morning

Further update, still not full flow 🙈 I thought it was coming cause i had a bit of pink so assumed it was starting but since then still just had brown and bit of pink when wiping. Weirdest period ever 😂
@Tropicana1 I hope your toddler is okay! Horrible when they're sick.
How's everyone finding sleeping during this heat?

@MamaSJ15 have you tested again to check you're not pregnant?
I'm sleeping terribly in this heat 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have officially reached the crazy place - I've tested 3 times today (9dpo!) because I convinced myself I'm pregnant (despite my earlier rational "unlikely" thoughts based on our DTD timings 😂) based on my symptoms today of feeling lightheaded and weird which was almost definitely just the heat because I feel absolutely bloody fine now

Tested with ultra cheapie one steps i should say not expensive ones haha

@Tropicana1 I tested yesterday evening and was negative. I'm convinced I can't be pregnant with only DTD once anyway. I'll wait a bit longer and see what happens.
I'm hoping tonight will be easier to sleep, it seems a little cooler and my DD's room isn't as hot so hoping she'll sleep better too. She's in a new phase of not wanting to go to sleep at night. Tonight's was 'but I'm not tired!' 😂😂

Haha, I felt like I was convinced I was pregnant earlier in the cycle too because of feelings I was having. I truly believe that the crazy place is somewhere we all visit on our TTC journey! How long have you been trying if you don't mind me asking?

Hey all, hope everyone is OK and enjoying the sunshine! (@MrsGrealish , please tell me you finally have some sunshine! haha)

Not sure if anyone has any experience or can help on this one... can antibiotics affect ovulation/TTC? I've been prescribed a 2 week course of antibiotics and a friend says they caused havoc with her cycle, not sure if this is true or it was just one of those months where your cycle goes a bit out of sync! And are they safe for TTC? I assume so as the GP knows we're trying but at the same time said they just need to get this chest infection under control.

Sorry for the essay, in a panic as I don't want anything messing up my cycle now that I'm finally 'regular'!

@alwaysseeingstars which antibiotics? It was sunny yesterday it is not today 🙄
