@SnookyPook it's so tough to try and stay mentally strong and positive all the time.. pretty much impossible and it's understandable that you feel like this, hopefully it will be brief 💕
I've had a really down week too.. like when you know you're probs not pregnant but period hasn't started yet.. super frustrating.
Hope you've got something nice planned this weekend to help you feel a bit better. Xx

@Annapolis35 @Amy95 finally! Hahah.
Funny thing is it's actually my shortest cycle in months at 30 days but because of all the spotting I knew I wasn't preggers and it dragged!!! 😅

I'm so glad youve had a short cycle 🙌 onto the next and we're all in it together xx

@emmatcc1 That's good about your CM. Have you been doing anything different?

@LeopardLover No I haven’t changed anything. I took some supplements first two weeks last cycle but I stopped after ovulation. Now I have a ton of ewcm and it very thin usually it was pretty thick in consistency.

@Annapolis35 thanks for your kind words 💕

@dabs9 thanks and sorry about your down week too. Hopefully AF's arrival will feel like a reset now. Somehow it's always better once she arrives cos at least you're not in limbo anymore! Good luck with this new cycle 💕

Hiiiiiiiiii girls. Sorry for the radio silence, been busy wedding-ing!
Someone needs to do me a G-Wrap up special of what I missed! 😂I hand the reigns to @LeopardLover or @dabs9 😎

Welcome back! @GCS34

It's been strangely quiet this weekend, I wonder why? 😉

@Annapolis35@Annapolis35's bloods were normal so has an appointment today to get her referral cracking! We've been reminiscing about the time she didn't wash at Glastonbury.

@A95x definitely won't be tracking this cycle! How many days until your holiday, Amy!?

@Bubblesandtroubles Pretty sure Bubbles has been at a wedding too this weekend and is Team wet wipes at festivals!

@dabs9 and @Annapolis35 recommend the apple watch for tracking BBT if you don't mind wearing it to bed but it can make you even more obsessive during the TWW! I'm considering getting the Galaxy 5 watch (Team Android).

The flood gates have opened for @dabs9 and she's seeing red! Finally! Her shortest cycle at 30 days.

@CAGH03 is feeling hot and has had the sweats! Are Conceive Plus tablets to blame!?

@Vic231 is lovely and new. She's now 10DPO and has some strange symptoms e.g. A foot cramp! We're due an update!

@emmatcc1 has some healthy looking CM this cycle! Hurrah!

@SnookyPook has been struggling a little but we're still super hopeful for her! 💜 Any updates?

I think that's it! I'm CD10. I went plant shopping yesterday. I kill all plants 😂 my question? Why are plants so expensive! Geez.

@LeopardLover this made me giggle 😂 I also went plant shopping yesterday and fell in love with a table and chairs set, ironically more expensive than the plants but at least unkillable.

So my weird foot cramp stopped 😂 but little bouts of nausea started and last night I had the smallest spec of blood with thicker CM on the paper when I went to the toilet (sorry TMI) Not had that before soooo who knows, maybe implantation?! Maybe getting my hopes up 😅😂 I am also hotter than the sun and finding it really hard to regulate my temp, I'm usually the cold person, but then it is so muggy so that's probably it!

Trying my best not to test until Friday when AF is due. So hard, but the new patio set has meant the pregnancy test budget has taken a hit 😂

HA funny that, hey! 😏I've been known to use a lot of words.

Thanks @LeopardLover - Hero!!
Great news all was okay at the Drs. @Annapolis35 - hopefully they'll start taking it more seriously now and start investigating. Drs love a blood test.

@A95x Bet you can't wait for you holiday!!! Friday right? Have you packed yet? I'm so jealous.

Ahhh yes I saw @dabs9 was in full flow 😆Who thought we'd celebrate periods hey? I can confirm I have not come on, but the consultant did say I probs wouldn't.

Oooooo well, I have a Garmin watch, but it doesn't do temperature, though Mr.G has the Fenix 6 and that does! not sure the budget, but add it to the review list!

Welcome @Vic231 I love you busted your budget on patio furniture! This is good - least it stops you testing 😂and I am SO shit at plants too @LeopardLover My mum bought me a rosemary plant, that is meant to bring luck to the house, when we moved in, and it's dead and she said that I've cursed myself now forever - cheers mum! What did you buy? Garden and outside is defo a 'blue' job in my house.

Anyone else mad sad today!? screw mondays - I hate them!

@LeopardLover thanks for the update!! I'm gonna have to start keeping notes 😂
I also kill all plants! I bought a new one for the bathroom and my husband last night said "thank plant looks like it's dying! But it can't be because it's artificial" no... it's real and it is dying 😖 he didn't even consider I might've got a real one because I can't keep them alive hahaha.
@Vic231 I think spending test budget on other stuff is an excellent shout!

@Annapolis35 good luck with your appointment today! Let us know how it goes!

@GCS34 Mr Dabs also has the fenix 6 but don't think either of us knew it did temp haha.
I'm sorry you're feeling sad.. I think Mondays are always shit but if you've had a super lovely weekend it makes it more shitty when it's over.
I feel ok today but think I've cried a years worth of tears in the last week lol.
Hope your day gets better! X

@LeopardLover thanks for checking in. AF has officially arrived and made herself at home a day earlier than expected. I wasn't very surprised as have had raging pms the last few days and a mega weep yesterday. I think after the relief of having a period straight after the loss, I was more focused on trying this cycle and it feels like more of a slap to the face for AF to show up. It's brought up another layer of grief from the MC but I guess that's good in a way. That bit just before AF appears is always worst isn't it?! Now she's actually here I'm feeling ok and fairly philosophical about things again. Hopefully just gearing up for the perfect healthy little egg to be ready this cycle 🤞🏻

Good to hear everyone else's updates. @Vic231 that is sounding quite hopeful to me! Will you wait for AF or test early?

@SnookyPook Glad you're feeling a bit better! Sorry AF has arrived but I'm glad you're focused on this new cycle and getting that healthy egg! That's the way I'm thinking of things too, I'm just waiting for the perfect egg ❤️

@dabs9 @GCS34 Glad we're all plant killers together 😂 LOL @ the rosemary plant! We killed all our house warming gifts.

How was the wedding @GCS34 ?@GCS34@GCS34

@GCS34 Omgosh, this thing is so buggy 🤣 I always used to hate Mondays when I worked them! They are especially hard if you've had a good weekend. Thanks for a new smart watch recommendation 🤣 June is my most expensive month (so many birthdays, Glasto and father's day) so I'll probably wait for my next cycle anyway!

Are you happy you didn't come on? I know it's different, but I'd rather avoid that and get straight to the baby making if I could 😅

@SnookyPook eek hopefully! Although also trying not to get my hopes up and reminding myself we have absolutely no control over it! I'm going to try and hold out until Friday (when AF is due!) I have a busy week so good distractions and I also figured if it's negative I know I won't have long until AF appears which once that's underway my mood changes to being more excited to try again. That being said I'm only two months in so that might change if I'm still waiting for. BFP in a few months time!

Have you been trying long?

@SnookyPook so sorry to hear about your MC too 🤍

Thanks @Vic231. Well I was pretty lucky to fall on my third cycle - turned 37 two months before my BFP. Unfortunately lost that one at 12wks and just had my first whole cycle since the loss (second period but wasn't tracking ovulation etc straight after the loss so this is the first cycle tracking AF to AF if you get me)... So I know it's very early days again. It's just very hard not to feel despondent some days and compare to where I'd have been up to without the loss. But I know that doesn't achieve anything. Hopefully my little 🌈 will be on its way soon enough.

How about you? X

Hi everyone,
Hope you all had good weekends and have eased gently into the working week.
My husband messaged me at work to say his calculator tells him the fertile window opened today! He is correct in that my app says a medium chance from today. I didn't realise he had his own app though! 🤣
Welcome @Vic231 leg cramps are definitely a thing! I remember googling it when I was pregnant with my first. Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞
I am also in the plant killers club. I've accepted it's who I am and we have mostly artificial ones nowadays!
And I absolutely love this perfect egg theory. I'm definitely applying it to our attempts going forward!! 💕💕

@SnookyPook Hopefully your little rainbow 🌈 will be coming soon enough 🥰 Seems a few of us are 37! 🌟

@Bubblesandtroubles Oh your husband gets top points for having his own app. I can't tell mine when I'm ovulating as he feels the pressure. So I just say something like, I think this is a good week according to my app. Like I haven't been obsessively peeing on sticks 🤣

@Vic231 Well done for holding out on testing 👏 hoping you get a BFP and it's the first of lots this cycle 💜

Hiya all sorry I've been quiet just catching up currently 9 days to go 🙌 I've had about 10 bitch attacks of nothing fits me then repacked my suit case all over again 😂😂 hope your all ok xx

Absolutely incredible recap @LeopardLover I am just 36 now so not far behind you.

I had my gp appointment and am none the wiser really about my blood tests, other than they were fine, which is obviously good. She is gonna refer us now so that should take several months at least I imagine 🤷🏽‍♀️ I am not stressed by that really? It’s bizarre, I’ve definitely chilled out about this all and don’t know why. Maybe the sun has gone to my head.

@A95x i love how organised you are. I need to go shopping for Glastonbury 🙈 There are just so many birthdays in June I'm too busy gift buying at the moment 😅

@Annapolis35 Glad you aren't stressed out by things and you're in the system now 👏 also, obviously great everything is fine. GPs often do that, don't explain in detail but you just get told things are good 😅

@Bubblesandtroubles mighty impressed with your DH! Loving the commitment! Haha what's the betting that the man version of these apps is "this week it's sexy times a go go and your wife is likely to be very responsive to your every move" 😂

@Annapolis35 great that you're feeling quite chilled about it all and that bloods didn't show anything of concern!

Really pleased you managed to get the ball rolling. What did they say about it? Have they spoken about testing your husband?

Where are you based? I can only offer info on what I've had here in Nottingham. If I can help I most definitely will 🥰

And yes wonderful recap @LeopardLover! You've learnt from the master well 😏😜

There's defo more of us in the 30s club than the 20s! I can't decide if that's a good thing or bad thing 😂
