Hoping that's most of you please add anyone I've forgotten 💕

@curliegirlie does it feel like it's coming? The stress can impact it, literally the worst month not to track 🙈 but tracking with guests..not ideal 😅

@LuckyMoonstone how did your appointment go? Xx

@MrsJGrealish it went well thank you, just a brief one! The full inquisition they normally give you will be over the phone in a week or so.
And how weird is this! My midwife from when I was pregnant with DH and went to my old GPs surgery, has transferred to my new one so she’ll be my midwife again! Such a bizarre coincidence, out of all the GPs in every borough of our town we both move to the same one around the same time.

@LuckyMoonstone I'm glad ❤️ that's so random! Question is did you like her last time round?!

@LuckyMoonstone also good that she knows your history. That can only be positive xx

@MrsJGrealish haha yes I did don’t worry, she’s lovely. And it’s good that she knows me

@LuckyMoonstone that must have been nice to have a familiar face! Glad everything went well 💕

@bunnykins123 @bringmearainbow Hey, yep you're right. I had a go at using my fit bit to track o. I was never into temping properly so thought I'd just rely on the fit bit. There was defo an increase in my temp of a degree or so around when I thought I had o'd..was using it alongside ewcm signs as well. From what I remember there is a thread somewhere on MN about using your fit bit? After I'd o'd I would take it off as didn't want to obsess over a temp shift if possibly pregnant xx

@MrsJGrealish thanks lovely I didn't test this morning I think all the while I don't test there's still a bit of well it's not negative so am still in 😂 which I know is silly because until af shows your always still in!

@curliegirlie ahh that's annoying but stress can def delay things and sounds like you've had a lot going on. Hopefully now things have calmed down she will show 🤞🏼

@LuckyMoonstone oh wow that's amazing lovely to have a friendly face you know. I don't think I ever saw the same midwife twice 😳

@calimc83 thanks lovely I'm using the Apple Watch and I like it to track my sleep so I can show DH how many hours I've been up with our DS when he's snoring away 🤣🤣 so will wear it after O too. So far it seems like it's done a good job of tracking 🤞🏼

And AF is finally in the house! Which probably meant I ovulated on CD18, which isn't too atypical (I last did that in Sept).

@curliegirlie ahh at least she's shown up finally

12DPO and ALL the AF symptoms are in the house. Pretty sure I'm out. Feeling very "meh, oh well" about it today 😔

Hoping the baby dust reaches everyone else soon though 😊

@bringmearainbow 😆😆 I love doing that..my DH is like 'oh sleep isn't a competition'...it very much is in my case! Everything crossed for you in this cycle - when is AF due? X

@OnNaturesCourse ahhh lovely that's rubbish ☹️

@calimc83 haha sleep is def a competition men know nothing we're taking notes 🤣 af due fri or Sat. Pre mc my lp was 11/12 days but since then I've had 2 mc with no breaks so really it could be anything 🤷🏼‍♀️ 10dpo today

I'm in a better headspace today 💪🏼 temp is still high. I'm still getting a lot of dry mouth which has made my lips very sore 🙄 I'm tired and last night I got more pulling type cramps. I think the cramps and dry mouth are unusual for me but really it's been so long who knows anymore 🤷🏼‍♀️

@bringmearainbow @calimc83 last hair day I was sitting with bleach in listening to a man who goes to my stylist too. She said 'oh how many weeks is he now' your man said '11 weeks and he's a brilliant sleeper. Well she puts him down at 11, then he gets up at 4 but never wakens much in between' I nearly went HA at him. Men just don't hear and maybe let your wife come in and get her hair done. I fully remember my DH snoring through the cries 🤣

I get my hair bleached every 7 weeks so the first time the wee baby was only 3 weeks old. But his hair needed a fraction off 🙄. Me and him seem to fall on the same day. Sometimes hairdresser gives me wine thankfully not those days or dear lord I might have said🙈😅

@MrsJGrealish 😂 yes I think he just doesn't hear the baby 😂 my DH never ever hears DS I remember going away for the night first time and I was so worried now I'm like oh he will shout loud enough I'm sure bye boys 👋🏼😂

@bringmearainbow ha🤣🤣 he felt the kick in the back

Interestingly, as I said, I'd temped a few days this cycle, mainly because I hadn't used OPKs and was wondering whether they'd give me some indication, even if I was just doing it on the loo at random times of day. Predictably they were a bit all over the place and I discarded one temp as it was ridiculously high (37.68) and "tricked" (or so I thought) FF into thinking ov was on CD20, but now I've added it back in it gives me a LP of 11 days, which is pretty near my usual 12 days, so maybe the temping still worked after all, even if it wasn't BBT 🤷‍♀️

@MrsJGrealish why did I always envision you as a brunette a redhead? 😂

*or a redhead

@bringmearainbow your symptoms are definitely looking positive! Eek..will u test tomorrow or hold on? @MrsJGrealish 🙄 Men...😆..my DH idea of a bad nights sleep is if he gets up to use the toilet once...or just wakes for a second to have a drink! Honestly...drives me insane! X

@calimc83 I don't know I think I'd like to wait until Sunday but after being in a better headspace today I might be tempted tomorrow or maybe Saturday. I think atm I'm just going to see how it goes and how I'm feeling. I had a positive test at 11dpo with DS so the temptation is def there

I've put my watch temps into FF which I've never used before and this chart looks so much better than my natural cycles bbt chart 😂 the coverline looks a bit odd though unless it doesn't do it that way with the cross hairs 🤷🏼‍♀️

@ScrantonDunderMifflin 🤣🤣 bleach blonde/grey is the colour I've been for 2 years. Bleach for an hour and toner for a half hr. The upkeep is insane 😂💰

@calimc83 yep that sounds about right 😅

@MrsJGrealish I feel your pain RE the bleach, I have wrecked my hair over the years varying between white blonde and silver 😅 and what’s the point because it only looks perfect for a few weeks! I’m still bright blonde but I am being much gentler with it now and leaving it longer between bleaches (I don’t mind the root-y look for a bit).

@LuckyMoonstone you see my hairdresser charges extra for that look something called a root shade? My hair always looks better with a little root😊
