@MrsJGrealish Yeah I'm alright :) Much better than the other morning. Though slightly peeved at my husband for managing to mess up a very simple curry whilst I was out at Zumba. Despite me writing in capital letters that he should defrost the TIKKA SAUCE I made last week he managed to defrost and use a plain curry base instead 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

How are you getting on? How many dpo now?

MrsJGrealish · 09/02/2023 22:11

@TheBirdintheCave just 8dpo today. He sounds a bit like me in the kitchen..tikka, curry what's the problem. Which is why I ate soup tonight. I'd love to be able to cook

@pangolin84 😂😂 I'm blaming medication for mine though it's never happened b4 but the 2L water New Year's resolution has put me off water after 2 days 🤢 so I'm likely dehydrated

ScrantonDunderMifflin · 10/02/2023 06:43

@bringmearainbow good luck if you end up testing today ❤️

bringmearainbow · 10/02/2023 06:56

Thanks everyone pretty sure I'm out woken with the most horrific headache which loves to show around AF and temp dropped a little this morning I won't bother testing hopefully she will show swiftly and we can get into the next cycle 🤞🏼

TheBirdintheCave · 10/02/2023 07:10

@bringmearainbow Oh dear :( I wouldn't rule you out yet though as long as the temp is still relatively high. I had a crazy headache around 11dpo with the last pregnancy.

I'm definitely out as expected. My temp crashed back to the cover line this morning so just waiting for AF to join it now.

bringmearainbow · 10/02/2023 07:24

@TheBirdintheCave nope just gone to the toilet and there she is right on time 🙄 what a bitch no matter CD1 onto the next cycle 💪🏼

TheBirdintheCave · 10/02/2023 08:05

@bringmearainbow Well shit :( I'm sorry. Hopefully mine will arrive today and we can carry on being cycle twins 😂

LuckyMoonstone · 10/02/2023 09:01

@bringmearainbow urgh sorry she showed up 😣

monsteramunch · 10/02/2023 09:02

@bringmearainbow

Ugh I'm sorry to hear that, she's the worst Flowers

bringmearainbow · 10/02/2023 09:31

@TheBirdintheCave ahhh yes hurry up AF I need my cycle buddy 😂

@LuckyMoonstone @monsteramunch thanks ladies least it's put me out of my misery of am I arnt I ❤️

TheBirdintheCave · 10/02/2023 09:35

@MrsJGrealish I think anyone can cook really :) It just requires practice and finding good recipes and techniques. It's taken me a long time to excel at particularly niche cuisine (Indian, Chinese and Japanese) but I can now fry noodles without them sticking to the pan (which was a dream for such a long time) 😬

calimc83 · 10/02/2023 10:07

@bringmearainbow oh so sorry lovely. I was sure this was your cycle xx

bringmearainbow · 10/02/2023 10:16

@calimc83 even I was starting to wonder it did look quite promising 🙈 hopefully it will be the next 🤞🏼 off to order some more ovulation strips 🙄

TheBirdintheCave · 10/02/2023 11:20

@bringmearainbow It's here! 😂 Cycle buddies a go go.

bringmearainbow · 10/02/2023 11:24

@TheBirdintheCave 😆 love it 💪🏼 we got this hopefully I'll go back to O about CD16/17 🤞🏼 I'm not a fan of this CD21 malarkey 😂 although saying that DS was conceived on a CD19 eggy. Come on lucky eggs 🍀

TheBirdintheCave · 10/02/2023 11:34

@bringmearainbow Yeah it was CD22 for me this month which is not fun at all. Average is 16-19. Fingers crossed we both O earlier this cycle and this is the one! We've missed the boat re IVF for this cycle so I have one more natural try before starting the meds in March. If I get pregnant this cycle I think the due date will be exactly the same as my sons 🙄

bunnykins123 · 10/02/2023 12:04

@pangolin84 dry mouth / thirsty was a big one for me. I drank so much. Really pleased for your most recent test 👏

@bringmearainbow oh hun, I'm so sorry AF arrived. Maybe indulge in a big bottle of wine tonight?

@TheBirdintheCave same for you hun, sorry AF has arrived. But good news you've made a plan. How are you feeling about it?

bringmearainbow · 10/02/2023 12:17

@TheBirdintheCave at least you have a plan now. If I conceive this cycle there's every chance it will have a similar birthday to me 😂

@bunnykins123 do you know what I would but I have got the most horrendous headache today which is just icing on the cake really 😂 I'll def be getting one tomorrow though maybe a magnum 🤔😂

Also just to rub salt in the wound I put some e@h opk and pt kit in my basket yesterday it was £16 just gone to order and it's gone up to £18.99 today fml 🤦🏼‍♀️

OnNaturesCourse · 10/02/2023 12:30

Quick check in.

13DPO and negative in FRER, evap again on CB and negative on IC.

I'm writing this cycle off as I'm 99% sure I'd know by now.

Roll on summer when we will look to TTC again.

Thank you all for the support this cycle ❤️🙏 and loads of baby dust for you all xx

TheBirdintheCave · 10/02/2023 15:58

@OnNaturesCourse Good luck with everything for the future. Sorry this wasn't the one for you :( x

TheBirdintheCave · 10/02/2023 16:12

@bunnykins123 I'm feeling ok. I think making the choice and realising I'm likely actually going to have to go through with it was a bit overwhelming but who knows, we have one more chance for a miracle. My son was conceived the month before we were due to start IVF last time so it would be very strange if it happens again at exactly the same time of year.

Indianna2006 · 10/02/2023 18:02

@bringmearainbow oh sorry for AFs arrival 😏😏 what a fucker! Nice to have a cycle buddy for next month tho. And like you said. Let’s hope that’s the one 👏

Trying catch up on thread as I been so busy making bloody cake all day 🤣🤣 I am absolutely knackered 🎂 not wrapped any gifts or sorted anything for DDs 5th birthday tomorrow. 🫠🫠 send help 😂

bringmearainbow · 10/02/2023 19:37

Ladies now I'm not getting too hopeful because I did a test and it was a bfn but it was a one hour hold middle of the day wee and AF will probably kick in full throttle tomorrow but just want to put this out there in the universe. My period hasn't even made it into any of my liners today it's literally sometimes been there when I wipe a smidge of blood and sometimes nothing at all I just shoved a tonne of tissue up my foof as you do and it's clear absolutely nothing at all 🤷🏼‍♀️ my periods are not normally heavy but I also just start them no on off weirdness. Obviously only time will tell the outcome of this but can we all just hope this might be implantation bleeding and not AF being a right ol cow to me 😂🤞🏼

ScrantonDunderMifflin · 10/02/2023 19:40

@bringmearainbow will you test tomorrow with FMU? ☺️

bringmearainbow · 10/02/2023 19:49

@ScrantonDunderMifflin I don't know I might just see if it progresses into anything tomorrow and if it's still a weird flow or none at all do one Sunday 🤔 I don't know if you bled at implantation point or after in which case it could still take a few days to show if it's at the point or if it's after then basically it's just AF. Also two things that make me think AF is just being a old bat is my headache I love to get those around AF and I normally get AF 11/12dpo so it's the right time for me. Be interesting to see what my temp does though. I love a little plot twist 😆 feel like my cycles just keep on giving
