Yeah I did both this morning as at a bit of a loss with trying to figure out what's happening.
I'm not getting any of my usual PMS symptoms other than sore boobs which I've had for AGES at this point. And my spotting is almost gone. Should be expecting AF tomorrow.
I still don't think I've ovulated so probs won't start AF but I just doing what all the spotting has been caused by. Who knows.

@dabs9 all very strange and frustrating! It's so unfair of our bodies to do this to us at times. As if the tww wasn't hard enough!

It really is unfair.
Have decided to contact fertility and request to start letrozole. Going to set myself a goal to lose half a stone first tho and as soon as that's off I'm calling them.
Can't keep going through this will I/won't I ovulate every month. It's exhausting.
I know others on here will feel the same! 💕

@dabs9 sounds sensible and hopefully makes you feel good to be able to take a bit of control back and do something proactive. Good luck! 💕

♥️♥️♥️

@dabs9 I’m cd9 and if my LH rises the same way every month means I can ovulate the earliest on Sunday. My test was at 0.3 before af and usually it sits at 0.1 or lower.

Ugh, sorry this cycle is so confusing!! Really great you've decided to take action and set yourself a goal.

I'd love to join you and be more healthy like our inspo @GCS34 hahaha! I don't weigh myself though as I get a bit obsessed with numbers. But I'll feel the difference I'm sure!

Urgh... Why do I keep checking my PreMom app as though it's suddenly magically going to be several days ahead of where it is or tell me something new from the daily logs I've entered?! 😩😆

@SnookyPook We are the same. Mine still says CD3. Think I just got used to doing it in the TWW 🤣

Ah I'm sorry 😞 periods and cycles are a mind f*ck. do you have a period if you don't ovulate usually? I won't have one this month either as I didn't trigger so we can Be in the anovulary club!

@LeopardLover haha honestly I eat a lot of rubbish, I swear I'm borderline type 2, but Just also eat a lot of good stuff too. My saving grace! That and exercise. I'm currently on a 'thicken my lining' plan and have just had my Ocado delivery with shit loads of pomegranate juice, beetroot, aubergine, leafy greens, avocado, nuts, tuna steaks and dairy free yogurts in a bid to plump that bad boy up. I'm gonna pee red with the amount of purple stuff I have.

When you gonna give them a call @dabs9? Hope they can get you in soon 🤍

@GCS34 Haha to be fair you sound like old me! I need to get back to the old me 🤣 oh go on, love this for you. I might try and get some pomegranate and some grapefruit!

Hey girlies! Sorry it's been a few days since I've posted, been doing the night shifts at my new job!
I was wondering if anyone here knows where I can get emergency money? As I've just changed jobs and had a two weeks gap inbetween, I have no money. It is weekly pay but I don't get my full weeks pay until next Friday and me and my partner literally have no money. We don't have any food in the house or basic things like washing detergent because we can't afford them. We literally had bread and butter for dinner last night because that's all we had left😅 I've applied for loans and credit cards and even asked for a pay advance from work and have all been declined. I have also asked friends and family to borrow money as I can pay it back on the 16th, I'm just so desperate 🤣 does anyone know what I can do? x

I'm so sorry your struggling! I'm really not sure what options there are, especially living in Scotland things are a bit different.
I know up here there are local charities people can contact for help with this sort of thing food, drink, cleaning products etc. you could look at things in your local area but other than that I'm not sure. Sorry 😞 xx

@dabs9 I've spent all day looking online for anything in my area that can help, but unless I'm on benefits there's not many options😩x

Hahah @GCS34 can you put me and @LeopardLover on a healthy lifestyle plan please?? I need to enjoy exercise.. I'm in and off with running but struggle to be consistent.

I don't normally get a period if I don't ovulate, no. Think I've had 2 anovulatory cycles in the last year and didn't have a bleed for either. So we shall see.
@GCS34 as soon as I've lost that half stone I'm calling them!!! Lol. So the choice is with me on how much I want to knuckle down. Xx

@GCS34 Wow your wedding dress is amazing!

@LeopardLover sorry AF is kicking your butt! It is really shit. My fever seems to have broke last night so on the mend. We didn’t have any Covid tests in and then thought it doesn’t really make a difference as the treatment is the same for flu or a cold or Covid; paracetamol, fluids and bed rest!

@CAGH03 Sorry to hear of your situation. I really don’t know about payday loans and think they can be pretty dodgy with bad interest rates. What about an overdraft?

Bless you. That's the kicker isn't it! If you're already on benefits you can get so much more but to people who are not on benefits there really nothing you can access. I hope you can find something xx

@dabs9 also really good idea about letrozole and hopefully this decision can give you a bit of control. It absolutely sucks waiting for your body to do something! Xx

@CAGH03 are there any foodbanks nearby? I don't think they all require proof of benefits do they? Also worth checking local churches. I know my Mum's has offered a 'warm space' over the Winter and sometimes does other things where a meal is included. So shit to be in that situation though. It's shocking that so many people are struggling so much at the moment. I really hope you manage to find something soon to tide you over the next couple of weeks. X

The food banks near us required a note from a doctor or social services to get food. Once I get paid next week we will be fine. I'm not too worried about my self not eating much but I don't want to see my partner going through it too, I'd rather he was able to eat something than me. We have our own place and all bills are paid, but now we don't have enough for food and things like washing detergent x

@CAGH03 if you explained to your doctor and said it was causing you anxiety would they maybe provide a note? You just need something to get you through the next week don't you. X

It would take Atleast 4-5 days just to get an appointment 😩 and I would feel embarrassed being in that position because apart from food and some other things, we have more than a lot of people who use food banks x

what with the red foods, or healthy meals? I’m not sure how healthy half a carton of Pom juice p/day is mind. Will lose all my teeth butttttttt, least I’ll have a kid right! 😅 what’s grapefruit good for? I don’t need anything else adding to my weird ass diet. Wonder if red m&ms count 😏 My husband is being force fed bananas, Brazil nuts, omega 3 supps and banned from soy! If I don’t conceive now, theirs no hope! 😆

@Annapolis35 Thanks lovely! It’s not so amazing now mind. How are you feeling with the flu? Hopefully the weather up there is nice this weekend so you can sweat it out in the garden!

@CAGH03 im so sorry you’re struggling. I echo what @SnookyPook @Annapolis35 and @dabs9 said tho and try avoid pay day loan places as you’ll always be in arrears as your pay will cover last months fees then you’re in the same place again for the next week.

have you heard of the App ‘too good to go’? It’s available to anyone and shops / restaurants etc list end of day food they won’t sell but will be wasted otherwise and you can get it for pennies. Things like a Toby carvery full roast for about £2-3. Worth a look?

also is their anyway you could maybe make some cash in hand relatively easily? I know thinks like flyer-ing for companies / delivering stuff is really fast to get set up and you could start making some extra ££ in a day or 2? Xx
