@MamaSJ15 cycles are usually 27 days but I usually ovulate earlier (CD11) so it a wait and see month. 2 things I'm not good at 🥲

MrsCristiano · 28/08/2022 23:28

@canonlyhopexo I like being quiet too..im such an introvert 😅. Talking to patients in work drains me..I fell asleep for an hour there. If that had happened next Sunday I'd be like defo pregnant. The ways I trick myself

MamaSJ15 · 29/08/2022 07:58

@MrsCristiano 😂 I don't blame you, I don't think I could do SMEP. It is good that you DH said that though! I'm thinking my cycles are back to 28 days (at least it was last time) which means I must have a short luteal phase, considering today is ovulation day and it's CD18.

MamaSJ15 · 29/08/2022 08:32

@MrsCristiano had a dye stealer on this mornings test 🤦🏼‍♀️ even more confused now, how is ovulation getting later?!

@MrsCristiano but premom has now changed ovulation day to two days ago? Is that because I've not had a lower test to show the peak yet?

@MamaSJ15 yes!! It's a nightmare when that happens! But yay for a dye stealer. I usually get one dark one then the next day a dye stealer. It'll change again tomorrow when hopefully they will drop xx

This is mine below xx

@MrsCristiano I'm thinking ovulation is today, can feel something! So I may try entice DH to DTD again tonight, he's been feeling a bit rundown the last couple of days so I don't want to force it haha.

MrsCristiano · 29/08/2022 19:21

@alwaysseeingstars hi hun hope you are keeping well xx I wanted to ask if you've had any migraines yet since stopping the ami xx

alwaysseeingstars · 30/08/2022 09:06

@MrsCristiano hey lovely, I'm doing ok thanks other than constantly exhausted! Luckily no morning sickness yet as I'm not sure I could cope with being this tired, working plus throwing up!! I only had to reduce the ami so far, so reduced it from 50mg to 25mg.. it's been just over a week and I've had 1 migraine and about 3 headaches, but all have been mild. My blood pressure seems to be all over the place so I'm wondering if that's causing the headaches rather than reducing the ami? So hard to tell as they took me off the bisoprolol and other things only a couple of weeks prior to the ami! Got to update the obstetritican today so will see what she says.
How are you doing? xx

MrsCristiano · 30/08/2022 09:44

@alwaysseeingstars actually in the surgery as we speak. Bp reading high so I'm having to rest and they'll do it again. 4 dpo today

alwaysseeingstars · 30/08/2022 10:02

@MrsCristiano OH no, planned visit or are you not feeling well? Hopefully will settle down, it's horrible having erratic bp!! xx

Hjudge56 · 30/08/2022 10:27

Hi everyone! I was on the previous chats but me and OH decided to pause TTC for a few months after my chemical and as my cycles went really out of whack!!! They’ve normalised now so going to focus on timings a bit more! Was beneficial having ‘time off’ as I really got in tune with my ‘classic’ symptoms pre AF and post AF and around ovulation etc. so hopefully won’t overthink certain signs this time! Felt like my head was going to explode!!!

ovulation is probably going to occur this weekend so will see how we get on with DTD!

would love a little update on everyone as I see a few familiar names here! :D

MamaSJ15 · 30/08/2022 19:21

How's everyone doing today?
I'm going with 1DPO today 👍seem to have a short luteal phase (or did last cycle) so not quite a 2ww but nearly!

@Hjudge56 hello, welcome back! I'm sorry to hear about the chemical, not nice. We had a break from TTC for a bit last year into the beginning of this year too. Glad to hear it's done you some good 😊

MrsCristiano · 30/08/2022 19:42

@alwaysseeingstars routine blood tests but they always panic with my medical history. After years of not panicking 🙄

Tropicana1 · 30/08/2022 20:20

Hey @Hjudge56 nice to see you back ☺️ hope the break did you good! I'm currently 6+3 today and contemplating an early scan. Tried to sneaky scan myself at work today but I was stood up not lying down and on an empty bladder 🤣 so unsurprisingly didn't see much of anything haha, plus I have a retroverted uterus so that's only going to make seeing things harder but I still tried 🤦🏼‍♀️ early scan might be beneficial for my own sanity haha

@Tropicana1 huge congratulations! 😍
haha I love that! We’d all be doing the same if we could sneaky scan!!! Can’t wait to hear exciting news from when you do scan :)!

alwaysseeingstars · 31/08/2022 08:40

@Hjudge56 hey, welcome back! glad to hear the break has done you good 😊
I'm approx 7+5 today, keep worrying as have no morning sickness! Such a stupid thing to be worried about 😂Hopefully all is good and I'll either avoid it or it'll arrive soon (most likely in 3 weeks when I'm on hols haha)
@Tropicana1 haha I love that!!! When do you think you'll go for a scan?
@MamaSJ15 fingers crossed for your TWW!
@MrsCristiano I know what you mean, it's annoying but definitely worth it, at least if there was an issue in the future you know it'll be picked up quickly and dealt with!

Kitty901 · 31/08/2022 12:00

Hello i was on the previous chat and disappeared from mumsnet for a while as reading the articles i should not, was giving me major stress and paranoia 😁 i came back to see how you all doing and glad to hear the news @Tropicana1 and @alwaysseeingstars . I haven't read everything, so congrats to everyone else who may have gotten positive while i was hiding and depressing. 🙉
I am 13+3 today and we had our scan yesterday😍 all looking well so i am relaxed finally!
Good luck to everyone xx hope you all get positives very very soon x

Hjudge56 · 31/08/2022 18:59

@alwaysseeingstars hey! Massive congratulations! I think it easy to overthink these things (as we all know 😆!) but in reality some people get alllllll the symptoms and some get none at all! My friend just gave birth and she has no symptoms her entire pregnancy… aside from growing a bump haha! Every pregnancy is different!

@Kitty901 i remember your username! Huge congrats to you!!!

MamaSJ15 · 31/08/2022 20:07

@Kitty901 hello! Nice to hear from you! Sounds like you're doing well!

MrsCristiano · 01/09/2022 21:26

@Hjudge56 ah just back in time to see me do a panicky pregnancy test in Barcelona 🤣 why am I always on the cusp of testing at holiday time🙄hope your cycle goes well🤞

MrsCristiano · 01/09/2022 21:59

@MamaSJ15 hope your landlord meeting went ok? I had to limit my mumsnet use after randomly testing at 3dpo. I had temporarily lost the plot 🤣

MamaSJ15 · 01/09/2022 22:17

@MrsCristiano very well thank you! The house is ours! Move in about a month 😊😊
Oh no! 😂 To be honest, I've tested just after AF has finished which I thought was bizarre but that's when I found out I was pregnant (before miscarrying)! So no judgement here!!

MrsCristiano · 01/09/2022 22:24

@MamaSJ15 oh fabulous news!!! When can you move?? Please judge away I was checking OPKs levels had dropped and for no reason whatsoever took a one step cheapie test.. the tests that don't even show at 10 dpo. Im like step away from all tests!

MamaSJ15 · 02/09/2022 08:41

@MrsCristiano I think it's gonna be around 1st October.
Haha! We all have our mad moments! When do you go to Barcelona?
