Thank you for your support everyone. Im away with work until Thursday and ovulation
is expected Monday so we hopefully have a good chance. Although I am away from Sunday eve again so that could scupper it if it's late. Always the way isn't it!! Xx

bringmearainbow · 27/02/2023 07:39

@bunnykins123 no I don't think I can be bothered tbh looking at the low strips are annoying me I'll just wait for my temp rise now 🙄 I did have another big temp drop this morning but I had one a couple of days ago for no reason so who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

bunnykins123 · 27/02/2023 08:06

@bringmearainbow totally understandable. Sounds like if you tested today, there is a chance it'll be peak if you have a dip but agree not to obsess over something that is out of your control now anyway. Over to the wine, perhaps?!

@FfoxRedN got my fingers crossed timings line up this month 🤞

@TheBirdintheCave @MrsJGrealish how are you both doing? (P.s so glad you changed your name back, you'll never be anything but Mrs G to me 😂)

MrsJGrealish · 27/02/2023 08:13

@bunnykins123 I'm in work armed with an OPK 💪. Got a bit excited Friday it looked like it was going up but no, false alarm🙄 CD14 today and I haven't missed it coz no sore boobs

bringmearainbow · 27/02/2023 10:22

@bunnykins123 for sure 🍷 😂

TheBirdintheCave · 27/02/2023 10:30

@bunnykins123 A little better today. I fell asleep at 10pm last night whilst husband was playing Legend of Zelda and actually had a solid nights sleep with no more shivering episodes. My throat is looking better too :) I'm off work today but hopefully will be able to go back to normal tomorrow.

@bringmearainbow I've given up on the opks too. I don't think I'll ever catch a peak. We're just going to keep dtd every other day, though without EWCM I don't think it will work. Hopefully my temperature goes back to normal at some point 🙄 This whole cycle has just been a massive disaster.

bringmearainbow · 27/02/2023 10:43

@TheBirdintheCave well I suppose we are cycle buddies so only right we are in disaster state together 🙈 glad you're feeling on the mend a little though

TheBirdintheCave · 27/02/2023 10:56

@bringmearainbow 😂 This is true!

bringmearainbow · 27/02/2023 15:29

Monday afternoon musing anyone ever feel really confused by their body 🙈 like there seems to be no pattern to my cycles and it's frustrating as hell. Realistically I know that it might all take a while to settle into a pattern but doesn't stop me feeling annoyed at it 🙄

TheBirdintheCave · 27/02/2023 16:31

@bringmearainbow It's one of those things where I think I've nailed it down and then my body will do something very strange just to try to catch me out. I think we had that as a title of the last thread, didn't we? It's still true, bodies are weird and stupid 😂

FfoxRedN · 27/02/2023 18:02

@TheBirdintheCave @bringmearainbow it is so odd isn't it!! I think mine have finally settled, knowing my luck this month will be off! My professor has issued me a private prescription 🙌🏻 what a legend!! Still going to try this month and then take them after if AF arrives 😊 xx

TheBirdintheCave · 27/02/2023 18:26

@FfoxRedN Great news :D Good to have a plan for the next couple of months (though fingers crossed you're lucky this cycle!).

TheBirdintheCave · 27/02/2023 19:21

Just noticed we're running out of space on this thread! Time to come up with a new name 😬

calimc83 · 27/02/2023 21:02

@Indianna2006 how did your appt go? Did u get a date for your c sec? Signed all my consent forms today...starting to feel real now! 😬 xx

Indianna2006 · 27/02/2023 21:12

@calimc83 yes they did 😱 they gave me date for 38+6. Which was earlier than I was excepting.. I though I’d get like 39+4 or something 🙈🙈

I signed all my consent forms with the consultant today as well. So only 6.5 weeks to go for me. Which has actual sent me into some mad panic mode 😂😂🙈🙈

Not sure I can quite digest I’m actually having this baby. Although closer it’s getting I’ve found myself more anxious. And just want her here safe now. I felt I relaxed in the middle and now it’s just hard to relax on this final stretch. I think it’s a loss thing as well though.

Indianna2006 · 27/02/2023 21:13

@TheBirdintheCave ooh we love a new thread with a quirky name 😁 surprise us

calimc83 · 27/02/2023 21:33

@Indianna2006 I'm honestly still struggling to imagine me having a healthy baby after the previous issues..so totally get where u are coming from. Panicking now about any issues that haven't been picked up on scans..Pregnancy after loss is such a head f**k. Exciting u have a date! Managed to bring myself to order a new ( cheapish) travel system earlier..so pretty sure I have everything now..the hosp bag list is made, snacks purchased but still not managed to get everything packed.That feels too final? 🙈 xx

LuckyMoonstone · 27/02/2023 21:37

Hey gals sorry I know I’ve been quiet but I am reading every message and following what you’re all up to, so let me know what the new thread is or give me a tag :)

@FfoxRedN hooray you got that prescription!
@bringmearainbow I know what you mean and utterly despair at my body sometimes, just be normal fgs! 😂

FfoxRedN · 28/02/2023 06:50

@TheBirdintheCave feel free to come up with the next one lovely 🥰 I have a very busy work day ahead of me 😅 xx

bunnykins123 · 28/02/2023 08:26

@FfoxRedN ah that's brilliant news! Really chuffed for you! How quickly do they take to work, do you know?

@bringmearainbow honestly, I felt that after my 3rd miscarriage, my cycles went to pot. I was a regular O on cd16 day and I started having the occasional O on cd11 without any warning (my opks go from 0-100 in the space of a day!) EWCM didn't mean much - sometimes I could have days of the stuff and others hardly anything. It made dtd really hard so I sympathise. We missed many months due to dodgy cycles.

@TheBirdintheCave glad your feeling better! It sucks when you're feeling unwell. There is literally so much going around at the moment!!

TheBirdintheCave · 28/02/2023 09:04

@FfoxRedN I will think of something 😅

@Indianna2006 and @calimc83 So exciting that you have your dates! :D It all must feel very real now.

My temperature is FINALLY a normal 36.6 this morning. This is a pre O temp for me so I was thinking perhaps I hadn't missed it after all but now I have sore boobs which I only get after O (either directly after or half way through the tww). So... what the heck body?? Confusion levels are high today 😂

TheBirdintheCave · 28/02/2023 09:09

Also, where do I find the rainbow emoji? It doesn't seem to be on any of the pages when you click the smiley button 🤔

Indianna2006 · 28/02/2023 09:35

@calimc83 I know what you mean just in pure denial about having surgery 🙈🙈

@TheBirdintheCave 😁🙈 I feel a bit deprived of anyone peeing on any pregnancy sticks. You all seem at same point in your cycles lol. Ovulation confusion is a pain 🙄

TheBirdintheCave · 28/02/2023 10:53

I managed to typo 'sleuths' 😂

FfoxRedN · 28/02/2023 13:19

@bunnykins123 he said take them for 3 months but on the last month we can try. So after this month, take them for March, April, May and start again in June.

@TheBirdintheCave I have to copy and paste the emojis from a note as it won't let you add them for a title, it's so annoying! Thanks for the new group 🥰 xx
