@MamaSJ15 we're exactly the same! DH is awful with the pressure. So I never know if we'll dtd successfully at all in FW, it's so hard trying to be persuasive without letting him know we need to 😂

Tropicana1 · 30/07/2022 18:30

Thanks ladies 😂 I feel vindicated in my anger haha

@alwaysseeingstars 😂 I tend to not tell my DH when the fertile period is but we're trying for baby #2 and we've been trying long enough for him to know 😂 we said this time round we wouldn't do the whole tracking of everything and just DTD when we feel like it and it'll happen when it happens but a chemical and miscarriage later and it's getting tough to stay relaxed about it!

MrsCristiano · 30/07/2022 23:11

I fell out with DH tonight..he's being annoying and the heat is radiating from me atm. And mild pelvic pain🤷‍♀️ Probably me just jealous he's had 2 days off or I'm due an super early AF ffs

@alwaysseeingstars I really regret giving him an insight into my cycles. Well let's be honest, was he even listening 😂

MamaSJ15 · 31/07/2022 11:22

@MrsCristiano I feel the same, ive been absolutely boiling the last few days, and I've had bloating/trapped wind too, just constantly uncomfortable. I don't normally get this at this point in the cycle. Surely can't be early AF, this would be majorly early for you wouldn't it?

MrsCristiano · 31/07/2022 11:26

@MamaSJ15 AF on CD15 would be a new record for me. Ugh goodness knows what my body is at.

MrsCristiano · 31/07/2022 16:35

Ladies what CD are we all on?

alwaysseeingstars · 31/07/2022 17:33

@MrsCristiano @MamaSJ15 I think DH got so used to my cycles being v erratic that he's not noticed they've gone long but regular 😂
@MrsCristiano 7DPO today (maybe!) - what are you on??

MrsCristiano · 31/07/2022 18:01

@alwaysseeingstars ooh exciting!! CD15 3dpo I think

alwaysseeingstars · 31/07/2022 18:42

@MrsCristiano Desperately trying not to obsess but failing!! I have the worst acne of my life, truly awful. And some very mild cramps and some mouth sores that appeared all of a sudden and then disappeared today! Then I remind myself... It's 7 days, you numpty - far too early for real symptoms 🙄

MrsCristiano · 31/07/2022 18:59

@alwaysseeingstars anything different than normal pms symptoms I'd be totally symptom spotting.. it's is about implantation time 😊 do you early test or are you a normal person? 🤣 ill be 10 dpo next Sunday and will totally cave

MrsCristiano · 31/07/2022 19:12

I'm on a 4 day week next week (10 hr shifts) hopefully I'll be too tired to symptom spot 😂

MamaSJ15 · 31/07/2022 19:25

@MrsCristiano CD17 for me. Going with 4DPO 😊 but it's all guesswork haha.

We decided on a picnic tea at the beach tonight which was lovely but now it's bath time to get the sand off my DD 😂

alwaysseeingstars · 31/07/2022 19:30

@MrsCristiano I think I'd believe them more if I hadn't had them since 5pm 🤦🏼‍♀️ think I'm just getting the 'is it ever going to happen?' feeling! I know I need to be patient, lots of others have waited far longer!!
I usually wait until at least the couple of days around AF being due but I am fearing that won't happen this time with how much of my mind it's consuming!
Ah that'll help, when do you usually start symptom spotting/testing?! 😆

Anyone due to test anytime soon?

alwaysseeingstars · 31/07/2022 19:30

@MamaSJ15 oh that sounds lovely!!

MrsCristiano · 31/07/2022 19:32

@MamaSJ15 bless!! It was super windy here not beach weather..so we are all in TWW? Good luck girls 🤞🤞

MrsCristiano · 31/07/2022 19:37

@alwaysseeingstars when I tested positive in May I had written myself out immediately because of zero sore boobs in TWW but now I feel that's like a pregnancy thing for me. So yep symptom spotting already!

MrsCristiano · 31/07/2022 21:43

Argh someone take my phone away. I'm now convinced I didn't ovulate as didn't feel anything 😩

MamaSJ15 · 31/07/2022 21:54

@MrsCristiano it was lovely over here. Beach was almost empty at 5pm which was mad, clear blue skies and still pretty hot too.
Yep 2WW over here too 🙋🏼‍♀️ I'm with you on that one. I've started to wonder if I ovulated too but I'm just gonna assume I did!

Tropicana1 · 01/08/2022 00:16

2dpo For me! Arrived in France this afternoon so looking forwards to the first week of the TWW being much less focused on TTC 🥰 it's beautiful but ROASTING. So glad I ovulated before arrival 🤣
@MrsCristiano ill be testing too next Sunday when we arrive home at 9dpo 😂🤦🏼‍♀️
I never really get ovulation pain, I have endometriosis so get random pains all through the month, but had about 3 consecutive days of cramping in the lead up to ovulation and the supposed day of, which has now ended

MrsCristiano · 01/08/2022 06:42

@Tropicana1 I'm so jealous! I wish I was in France and could drink wine and forget 😏

MamaSJ15 · 01/08/2022 07:14

@Tropicana1 oh wow! Enjoy!

I'm absolutely shattered this morning. Think I woke up in the middle of a dream!
How's everyone doing today?

MrsCristiano · 01/08/2022 07:50

@MamaSJ15 4dpo. Also tired but not abnormally tired. Only had a one day weekend so am blaming that. Let's get this damn week over 🤣

MamaSJ15 · 01/08/2022 08:17

Ok so change in cycle... Late ovulation for me!! Had stopping doing OPK as I assumed I'd missed the peak but felt a bit uncomfortable today so thought I'd check!! Does this mean today is ovulation day?

MrsCristiano · 01/08/2022 08:33

@MamaSJ15 that's a huge peak! Today or tomorrow I think x
