@curliegirlie would love to see some pics on our FB 🥰 xx

@curliegirlie sorry I clicked the wrong drop down as I typed the '@'!!!
@calimc83 was for you lovely, bloody app! Xx

Thanks lovely 😘 I had an awful night. And woke up very tearful. I'm pulling myself back together now. Coming for you 4 day work week😭 I do have FRERs (a box of 2 left from last time) but the lack of an obvious line on the clearblue made me wanna repeat the test with fmu. I'll do the FRERs during the week if AF doesn't arrive. It honestly felt like the symptoms went from 0-100 in 12 hours. Good woman yourself testing at 6dpo a girl after my own heart😂

The good news is I now have a bottle of gaviscon 🙌

@MrsJGrealish I can only imagine ☺️, you'll be good to do a FRER Tuesday (if you can wait that long). Just praying with everything that it sticks. Its got to be your time xxx
Glad you've now got something for heartburn too 🥰.
It's my brothers 40th party Friday, so either way I need to know before then, AF due Saturday. So it'll either be copious amounts of wine or a few Coca-Colas lol xx

@TheBirdintheCave @FfoxRedN thanks girls I mean it would be great if she didn't show but tbh my lack of even a hint of any line whatsoever makes me think she's gonna 🙄

@TheBirdintheCave oooh so strange

@MrsJGrealish I'm very happy you now have gaviscon 🙊

@FfoxRedN do you have any symptoms? Eeek only 2 left I actually can't bring myself to not have a tonne in the draw 😂

@bringmearainbow yep I slept sitting up🙄

@FfoxRedN wishing you the luck of the Irish for next weekend (St Patrick's day people go mental here) 😂 have everything crossed, especially my legs (god forgive me😂) DH hasn't a clue what's going on.

@MrsJGrealish oh that's rubbish. I had bad heartburn with last pregnancy was no fun 😩 haha bless him I have everything crossed for you too 🤞🏼

@bringmearainbow I read an article today about uteruses and how some cling on to everything. I think I might be that uterus person but yea nothing I can do now just ride it out 🤞🤷‍♀️

Hope your cycle ends quickly one way or another 😘

@MrsJGrealish yeah it's his birthday the same day so we've always celebrated!
Well, I am one of those people. That's hopefully what the Sitagliptin will sort. But I'm the same, ones got to be a good one eventually!
@bringmearainbow I don't think so, the lack of tests wasn't planned, I've just used so many and not realised the pack was getting low. They don't sell my cheapies anymore either 😩 xx

@FfoxRedN have you tried e@h before? They're fairly cheap on the Amazon and they're great x

Test was negative so, in combo with the temps, it's unlikely I ever ovulated. Other than beg the clinic to start my AF I don't know what to do 😭 I'm so upset. I feel like this cycle has been stolen from me and that I've been forced into not trying. And worst still, I have no idea when, if ever, I'll get another go.

I so hoped I'd have a small bump by the time we go on holiday but that's not going to happen now 😭

I got so angry I punched myself in the stomach quite a lot (autistic rage is... intense... sometimes) so maybe that will do something.

@TheBirdintheCave oh hun I'm so so sorry. What cycle day are you on now? Best thing you can do is call the clinic when they open and find out your options. Please be kind to yourself though.
If your progesterone is low now though, is there a chance AF is imminent? Or is there a chance it's low as you weren't able to take the baseline test?

@FfoxRedN Unfortunately I've no idea :( I'm CD32. I did consider that perhaps it's fallen because AF is coming. In contrast, my boobs are more sore today than they have been but I've read that high levels of estrogen can do that as well.

I'll start typing an email for the clinic I guess. My husband could call but he wouldn't be able to explain the problem 😂

@TheBirdintheCave awh hun I'm sorry you had a negative test. Is this for the progesterone tests, Proov? I did a bit of research on them a while ago and the feedback is really mixed. There was a lot of women who said they got negative results but they had ovulated. Are you still getting EWCM? The fact your boobs hurt I would say is a good sign that something happened. You know your body though and if you feel that the O signs are not there then perhaps it's worth a follow up with the clinic to get their advice? I spoke to my consultant about this and he said anovulatory cycles are not that common at all. Im not sure that helps but just wanted to give a different perspective 💕

@TheBirdintheCave ahhh sorry lovely that rubbish def get in contact with the clinic they might run some bloods for you see where the level is

BFN this morning and no AF yet

@bringmearainbow I'm not sure what they'll offer. I expect they'll just say 'Oh well, you'll just have to wait' or something inane like that.

@bunnykins123 Yeah it was the Proov test. I think in combination with my low temperatures it's probably accurate. My symptoms seem to tally with something I was reading about called 'estrogen dominance' which would explain the low temps, sore boobs and never ending EWCM (there is less of that today though thank god). It's like my body has stalled following the Strep A :(

I'll let you guys know what they reply.

@TheBirdintheCave deffo sometimes being ill can delay ovulation. And also being under pressure or stressed and wanting to to happen as such. The ovulation part is what messes the cycle up and makes it long.
once you’ve ovulated. The period is always set to come and you can’t stress that away like ppl think.
see what the clinic says. Otherwise hopefully you’ll ovulate soon. But try your best not to stress even tho easier said than done 🙈😫

@Indianna2006 That's the problem. I can't not stress about it now because I so desperately need it to happen 😅 I'm just so angry.

@MrsJGrealish Did you test again today? :)

@TheBirdintheCave that makes sense. I guess based off those signs then it may be that you are still waiting for O. It could still happen? Are you quite regular usually? I suspect that the Strep A has made your body go a bit funky this month.

AF has arrived 🥳 I actually have quite a good feeling about this month 🙈

@bringmearainbow Woohoo :D Glad you're feeling positive! This cycle would fit in with what the psychic said about July ;)

@bunnykins123 Yeah I normally O between 16-19. And I agree, it definitely has screwed everything up. I've just not gone this long without ovulating for years. Even Covid only made me O a week late 😂

@TheBirdintheCave it would I think I'd be around 20 weeks at that point and if I ovulate around CD20 like the last 2 cycles my due date would be exactly the same as our first MC and do you know what that doesn't make me sad it makes me feel hopeful like a sign or something

Nope not today. I'm messaging in the toilet at work 😂 I'm due on today so will do an FRER tomorrow see what it's like if AF doesn't arrive xx

@MrsJGrealish Elicit mumsnetting 😂
