@GeoSmed bless you, it's so much waiting around and unknown isn't it. It's like you're having excessively long cycles when you're having to wait essentially 2 cycles length to just ovulate once 😖

Why it all goes one way one month and completely different the next when nothing is different baffles me! Bodies are so complex.
Really hoping tomorrow brings some surprise positive news for you 🤞 xx

You got me! Makes it so much worse when I’m literally not even leaving my body to make the hormones itself to ovulate - I’m giving them it to do the job for it and they’re still not playing. What I don’t get is why it was responding on Monday then bam, all change in 2 days. I just don’t know what to expect. Or what I can do to make it work, like what am I doing wrong, you know?. I feel a bit lost with it if I’m honest and oh I dunno. Who even knows. Thank you darling. I shall report back direct from the lions den 😈

No, actually my thread pals on Mumsnet talked me down and then I just waited until 8 weeks for an early scan 🤣

Oh soooo cute! I guess we'd have to order in advance with Etsy so makes sense to decide what we want now 🤣

@GeoSmed I'd LOVE to join you with a July pregnancy and have another April baby 😍

I wouldn’t listen to a word I say. I am largely clueless a lot of the time anyway 😂

but July is the month i think. We shall see. I might just dress mouse as a baby and settle for that as a future.

@Amy95 Hey! I'm getting on ok thank you 😊
My biggest irritation at the moment is that I've been told my mum has been asking my sister if I'm planning to get pregnant/why we're not having a baby yet. And it's really driven me mad lol.
Other than that I'm just waiting for signs I'm getting ready to ovulate. Or hopefully I'll bleed soon and everything will reset.

How're you? If AF does arrive this month do you think you'll next ovulate while in Tenerife?? How lovely would that be when you're all relaxed and happy 🌞 xx

Omg !! That's one thing I don't agree with is people who ask questions like that when in reality you are trying your hardest 🥺 I'd be crazy so your feelings are totally normal ❤️ I'm ok yes if AF comes by Sunday I'll be ovulating on holiday, so maybe a Tenerife baby 😂😂 also Luke came home with Chinese and I couldnt eat it 🤢🤢my favourite aswell xxx

@GeoSmed Haha, my manager's first day was today! 1st of the month - so not earlier in the week 🤣 1" off my height but I think you did pretty good!

@Amy95 Your hair is INCREDIBLE. Mermaid hair!

I'm so proud of so many of us resisting even more tests 😅 Also how many of us are getting CM in this TWW? I wasn't expecting any but here we are!

Awww thankyou 🥰🥰🥰xxx

@Amy95 I know, it's so intrusive. If I wanted to discuss it when my mum I'd have done it already lol.
It's been on my mind the last 2 days since my sister told me and I'm at the point I've decided to just tell her everything and then tell her not to ask me any questions unless I bring it up! 🤷‍♀️

Omg what is your Chinese order normally? I could kill for some salt & pepper chips!
You've had so many preggo symptoms this month, I'll be so disappointed for you if you're not xx

dabs9 · 01/06/2023 21:18

I've got more pale pink mucus tonight. I just don't know what the hell js happening inside me and it's really getting me down 😖

Bubblesandtroubles · 01/06/2023 21:18

Is taste going funny a symptom? I had a chicken curry jacket potato at lunchtime and could barely taste it. Wondering if the curry was just bland but I also couldn't really taste the onion in the salad 🤔
Clutching at straws but I've totally got my hopes up today. I just feel pregnant but can't put my finger on why. I've been so good at staying rational and objective last 12 days and now it's gone out the window! Hopefully not setting myself up for a fall 🤞🤞🤞

I can’t believe your mum said that. I’m so sorry you had to hear her thoughts on your parenthood via your sister. Does she know you want a second then? Cuz if not then that’s massively presumptuous. Funnily enough a podcast I listened to yesterday was about how people freely say ‘when are you going to have a second!’ When people assume cuz you had one the second will be easy. Or that you can! People thankfully have stopped asking me and my husband when we are as I think they’ll probably know somethings up as we’ve always talked about kids but still not here so people don’t mention it now. 😂

Sorry your mum said that. I hope you’re okay. Are you close with her and your sister? And what @Amy95 said - people telling their opinion on your life is not on. X

@dabs9 sorry I didn’t mean that to be digging out your family. It came out wrong. Sorry. X

dabs9 · 01/06/2023 21:28

@GeoSmed it massively irritating. She's been making comments since we got married Jan 2022 and I've always just shut her down and basically told her to piss off. She's not said anything for a while but my sis messaged me yday to say mum had asked her while they were out with loads of my other family for a meal.
Was asking if we were planning babies/waiting to buy a new house/having problems.
What the fuck does it have to do with you?!? Honestly that's what I want to message her saying!! Lol.

We don't have any babies yet but I'm sure she knows we want them.. however I've never discussed that with my mum in my life.

I'd say I'm not particularly close with her, more so with my sis who I have told about our situation.
It's just wound me up and that together with my weird cycle and irregular spotting and non ovulation is making me super emotional and depressed today xx

Bubblesandtroubles · 01/06/2023 21:33

@dabs9 your body is certainly keeping you guessing 😩
I don't know enough about the BBT to know whether youre right about the temp thing meaning you didn't ovulate or maybe it was just not at the time you were expecting? Is there any chance it could have been earlier and this is implantation spotting? (Ignore me if that can't be right!)
Incredibly rude of your Mum. If I were you I'd get my Sis to fob her off but then ask her not tell me if she asks anymore. You don't need the stress 💕 and you certainly don't need to feel obliged to tell her everything before then asking her to stop asking! Xx

UKMummy2one · 01/06/2023 21:36

Oh my goodness so hard to keep up on this thread 😅🫣

so after my BFN this morning I’ve had on/off cramping all day on one side. More discharge too. Yesterday I broke out really bad and have so many spots, so not sure what’s going on tbh.

taking each day as it comes 🫶🏼 hope everyone is ok and had a great day.

April babies for the win 🥰 Tbf Mouse would probably make a great boss baby!

@Bubblesandtroubles When are you testing next? My SIL said all her favourite foods tasted different!

@Amy95 Eeeek, you see having so many pregnancy symptoms! When are you testing? Saturday?

Oh totally got mixed up there and thought you had a kiddo already but that’s @LeopardLover sorry! Brain mush. It’s sad she said that and not even to you either! Did your sister tell her to leave it or she not like that? It’s so hard! Especially when they’re your family. You can almost cope with people you don’t know (although no one should have an opinion on how or what we do with our lives) but family and friends you’d like to think they’d have more decorum. I’m really sorry for you 😔

I know how you feel about being low. I’m really struggling today. I think it’s just all a bit much sometimes isn’t it? Always hear if you want to talk about bullshit bodies and pcos! Xx

LeopardLover · 01/06/2023 21:42

@dabs9 I hope you're doing okay. Speculation about pregnancy is so unhelpful and adds so much unnecessary stress! My MIL is the only one who questions us. Does your sister put her in her place? I'd do that for you 🤣

I could taste my dinner this evening though so maybe it was just a bland curry afterall! 🤣
I'm testing Saturday. Darent even buy the test beforehand in case I jinx it! Xx

LeopardLover · 01/06/2023 21:46

I have period cramps (not early pregnancy ones, pretty sure I remember the difference). Seems AF is coming tomorrow! So I'll be joining the June crew soon. Weirdly, I am on CD28 so not sure why my AF is predicted for Sunday, it should be tomorrow!

Hoping we can do as much BD during my fertile week and Glastonbury doesn't get in the way 🤣

Me too! Getting the worst cramps and think a super mega AF is on the way 😫

Sealover123 · 01/06/2023 22:33

Hoping at least one of us gets a successful result this month!

Ha snooze ya loose @UKMummy2one this is all very promising tho. Especially the cm and spots (even if you’d Rather not have them!)

Oh no! I hope not. i thought you were going to be the silent assassin and swoop us all with a BFP when we’ve all lost hope! Are your cycles always the same length?

dabs9 · 01/06/2023 23:08

@LeopardLover @GeoSmed @Bubblesandtroubles thanks guys for helping me not to feel crazy and unreasonable!!
Honestly the support feels so lovely to have from everyone 💕

@Bubblesandtroubles I defos don't think it could be implantation as I'm 99.9% sure I haven't ovulated. Unless my post ov bbt is crazy low this month but it never has been before. Think I'm gonna have to start the ovulation induction meds after all, urgh!

Hope those of you feeling AF-y are ok 🫂

Mangotango39 · 01/06/2023 23:17

@GeoSmed I am 8dpo now .... still waiting!
my app says test on Tuesday (12), period Thursday(14) and I am going to wait .
Got some FR tests at the ready .

it's probably way to early and in my head but my nipples have been so sore for days and really hard. No idea if related !!!

sorry this wasn't the month for some but hoping June brings luck!
