Aaargh! I've been snowed under at work and missed so much chat! I've skim read it all but too far behind to try and stick my two penneth into any of the conversations!
I'm due to ovulate a week today according to the app. Also at a wedding this weekend- so intend to enjoy some wining, dining, toddler free weekend. Then down to business from about Tuesday onwards to try and capture an early release as I swear I actually ovulate earlier than that app tells me! Xx

@SnookyPook is banned from testing
@Annapolis35 had flu but is now better and back at it

annnnnnddddd I think that’s it.

dabs9 · 09/06/2023 10:56

@GCS34 I really appreciate this update hahhahha. It's a struggle to keep up even when regularly messaging 🀣

@LeopardLover amazing that your parents can be your childcare! And give him all the meats he could want hahaha.

I've made quite a few of the pinch of nom recipes.. really enjoy them.

I'm convinced AF is close... I've been extremely emotional the last couple of days. Like emotional breakdown at work type of thing πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ
So either she's close or she really is the bitchiest bitch!
Hope you've all got fun weekend plans! X

Annapolis35 · 09/06/2023 11:14

Haha fantastic update @GCS34 helps us all keep track!

@dabs9 i am hoping she turns up for your sake so you know what is going on!

I just called GP for day 3 bloods and the receptionist said they were all normal so that’s good. I’ve got an appointment on Monday to get the referral going. I wish we had the nhs app here so we could actually see the results. it’s quite annoying relying on the receptionist.

@LeopardLover Tent sex! I went to Glastonbury when I was 16 and never been again but had a very very good time then. I remember not being able to figure out what the smell was in the car on the way home until I realized it was me. Lovely.

@CAGH03 Hiya lovely , where I live the on the council websites there's like a emergency payment you can get , have you tried looking on there ?? also I'd definitely phone doctors and demand a appointment and explain the situation , you should be able to get one , xx

@GCS34 haha fab update 😁

Bubblesandtroubles · 09/06/2023 12:26

Thanks @GCS34 you are providing an important public service! Very grateful 🀣

Working at work is the worst! I'm not even in today and still working πŸ™„ Roll on maternity leave I say!!

@CAGH03 how rubbish that you fall in the gap. Round here there are community pantries and eco shops that definitely don't need a referral. And the family hubs also have like a mini shop you can help yourself to a bag full of things on a no questions asked basis. If you check some local Facebook pages hopefully you'll spot somewhere close to you. Counting down the days to that pay cheque for you.

@Annapolis35 that is hilarious about the smelly car! I used to hate the showers at festivals. Very much a wet wipe all over kinda gal back in the day. Au de parfum of cider to finish it off nicely! Classy times. Xx

A95x · 09/06/2023 15:42

Hope you all have a lovely stress free weekend ❀️πŸ₯°

@Bubblesandtroubles I don’t think I even used wet wipes when I went to glasto πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ Hence the smell. What a gross child I was and so classy too πŸ˜‚ I’ve given up on work this afternoon! It is Friday after all xx

LeopardLover · 09/06/2023 20:49

@GCS34 Next slide, please! πŸ€“ Thank you for the recipes! Have the BEST freakin weekend with all your faves. Hope you don't face any unwanted comments. What outfit did you decide on!? A link will suffice πŸ˜‰ #safetyfirst

Adolf has been such a handful today I'm questioning whether we need another. BUT he probably needs knocking down a peg or two so we continue πŸ˜‰ We were hanging out with my friend's twins who are so well mannered πŸ˜…

@Annapolis35 @Bubblesandtroubles Hahaha! I baby wiped for the first few years then I started "glamping" and had showers. I don't think I could rough it again πŸ˜‚ Hope your appointment goes well on Monday @Annapolis35 !

@dabs9 Really hope AF is close!

Sooooo, I know I said I won't track BBT as I get obsessed but I'm thinking of buying the Samsung Galaxy 5 because it tracks it for you (Team Android over here). Thoughts πŸ€”?

So, I got the apple watch 8 because of the temp tracking and I didn't even use it for a full month. Because you have to sleep with it on and I hated it! If you're used to sleeping with a watch on or don't think you'd mind it then worth a try. When I did use it, I did my bbt with thermometer too to see if it was accurate and both seemed to be saying the same thing. X

Annapolis35 · 09/06/2023 23:09

@LeopardLover I have the Apple Watch 8 too and the wrist temp is pretty accurate for ovulation date I think. I try not to pay much attention to it in 2ww as it makes me anxious but it is extremely good now with my period predictions (even though my cycle varies by a few days).

CAGH03 · 10/06/2023 03:41

Good morning girlies! Still got 2 hours left of work and it's 4am😩
I'm on day 10 of my cycle and I CANNOT stop sweating! I have no idea why I'm just so hot at the moment. Also, has anyone else been taking conceive plus tablets? I started them a week ago and (tmi) they've turned my pee neon yellow? Is that normal?🀣x

LeopardLover · 10/06/2023 09:26

@dabs9 @Annapolis35 Thank you both for the feedback!! I do sleep with my fitbit on so I don't think that would be an issue, I just wonder how good it is versus the apple! πŸ€” It's so much more affordable πŸ˜… but yes, it's easy to obsess. Last time it was my BBT and RHR that made me realise I was pregnant!

Vic231 · 10/06/2023 09:42

Hi everyone! Would love to join, I'm roughly 8DPO (haven't started ovulation tests yet). My flo app is usually bang on AF prediction so I've just been using that. This is my second TWW, last month we only managed DTD once but this month we've done every other day during fertile window πŸ˜…

Tried not to symptom spot but we all know how that goes πŸ˜‚ had some dizziness, foot cramp and nausea/cramps on and off the last day or so... we shall see! I've never known two weeks to go so slowly until TTC πŸ˜‚

Annapolis35 · 10/06/2023 10:06

@LeopardLover yep my rhr last time also was the thing that made me realize last time too. It never got crazily high really, it just didn’t drop as usual before period so probably gave me a couple of days extra. Nowadays I try not to obsess over it but it is also nice having the heads up that my period is coming and I never have to test early because of it.

The Apple Watch is expensive so suppose it’s just worth weighing up if it’s worth it for the extra stuff? I use it for all fitness things and have found it beneficial. I think there’s a newer Fitbit which also has a wrist temp too.

@Vic231 welcome! Yes it’s like time slows down! Foot cramp πŸ˜‚ hoping for the best for you!

Vic231 · 10/06/2023 10:08

@Annapolis35 I know, ridiculous πŸ˜‚ I mentioned foot cramp to a friend and she said did I know it was a symptom πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Annapolis35 · 10/06/2023 10:10

I’ve never heard of that but you never know! I once convinced myself one boob looked pregnant so I am not one to judge πŸ˜‚

dabs9 · 10/06/2023 10:12

@LeopardLover @Annapolis35 you've encouraged me to start wearing my watch to sleep again. I'm sure I can get used to it! πŸ˜‚ I really don't want to be shoving a thermometer in my mouth every morning. It affects how I sleep thinking about having to not do anything before checking temp πŸ˜‚ so silly.

I'm still here with no AF. But getting hip and backache now along with the sore boobs so it MUST be coming soon.

@CAGH03 the neon pee is really common with taking supplements. Something to do with the fact your body only absorbs a small amount of them and then your kidneys get rid of the rest lol.

@Vic231 Hi! The TWW does go incredible slow! I'm sure it actually lasts a month and not 2 weeks πŸ˜… fingers crossed for you! X

emmatcc1 · 10/06/2023 11:42

This month ewcm is looking very healthy so 🀞🏻 this helps.

dabs9 · 10/06/2023 14:04

Well ladies... the floodgates have opened!! 🩸
πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ thank fk!

SnookyPook · 10/06/2023 15:46

@dabs9 congrats πŸ˜† always funny when you get to the point where AF arrival is worth celebrating.

I'm having a bit of a dip today. Not really feeling pregnant and pretty sure AF will be here in a day or two. It's hitting me harder this time. The first AF after the loss was kind of a relief to see everything was working again but this cycle I was ready to actively TTC again and it feels harder, especially as conscious that I'd have been coming up to 20wks if all was progressing healthily and instead, here I am back at square 1 again. Apologies for being maudlin. Just feeling a bit down today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better again.

Hope everyone else is well. πŸ’•

Annapolis35 · 10/06/2023 16:20

@dabs9 Woo! Finally!

@SnookyPook Don’t feel bad for feeling down. It’s really hard. Let yourself feel sad, it just is shit. I really struggled for ages and felt desperate to be pregnant again, I just felt empty inside. It does get better and easier with time though. Much love xx

A95x · 10/06/2023 16:25

dabs9 · 10/06/2023 14:04
