@Annapolis35 Maybe take a break next month if you need to? I completely understand how you feel as I felt the same a few days ago, I felt as if there was no chance and wanted to give up. Having a month or two break might do you some good!❤️ just make sure you're looking after yourself xx

Thanks @CAGH03 I am actually not feeling low about ttc this week. I have come to accept really it is what it is and it’s gonna take as long as it does and I have no real control over the outcome. We will keep trying and just deal with things as they come

I’ve just been having a hard time at work and feel like I am being bullied by people who were my friends. It feels like school and is making me feel quite low. I don’t really know what to do but I am just hoping mostly to get another job and leave to get away. It is a bit shit really and is making me cry.

gonna tag @dabs9 and I can’t remember Georgie’s tag?

@Vic231 How are you getting on? Hopefully that was late implantation and not AF arriving early 🙏🏻

@Favofit Fingers crossed for you! I can understand not testing early. Hope you're doing okay ❤️

@CAGH03 Thanks for the new thread! I can't even feel ovulation but I have a few friends who feel everything! Seems you're quite sensitive to the hormone changes?

@justanothermummma Best of luck with the job hunt! I really hope you find something soon and you can restart TTC #3 in the not too distant future. 💜

@Annapolis35 I'm so sorry you're feeling low 😔 I can tell you're a wonderful human and sadly sometimes people take advantage of kindness. Your colleagues sound hideous. Please do look for another job if you don't fancy the HR route. Sometimes a cry can be therapeutic but try not give them too much power. You deserve better!

@SnookyPook @GCS34 @A95x Tagging you so you don't lose us but no rush to come back. Take all the time you need ❤️

@LeopardLover Thankyou for tagging the others! I couldn't remember usernames and only a few came up on recents 🤍

I get cramps every month on the day I ovulate, and the week leading up to it I'm constantly overheating 😩 and I feel very very nauseous so I know when all that goes I'm usually around 4/5dpo x

OP posts:
LeopardLover · 17/08/2023 10:55

@CAGH03 I really hope you don't get awful morning sickness 🤣🙈 I'm dying and usually feel nothing. It might be the opposite, it might all stop when you get a BFP 😊

Vic231 · 17/08/2023 11:48

Thank you for the tag @LeopardLover!

Well this morning I woke up super early bursting for the toilet. So I thought I'd kill some time 😂 and test - eeek!

I'm CD25 and roughly 14DPO and my period would be due tomorrow according to my app! After the chemical in June I'm a little worried the lines aren't that dark?! But I also realise I'm super early...

July <3
Vic231 · 17/08/2023 11:49

Also @CAGH03 I love that this thread says July - that's something I'd usually do 🤣

LeopardLover · 17/08/2023 11:50

@Vic231 Eeeek!! Congratulations to you 😍😍😍 that's a very clear line, especially if you only implanted at 12DPO! With my first I got my strong strong line at 18DPO. Have you told your husband yet? 🥰

Vic231 · 17/08/2023 12:01

@LeopardLover thank you 😍 no I haven't yet, it was basically the middle of the night when I was going mad POAS 😂 so I then managed to get a little more sleep before we were both dashing out the door to work so it didn't feel like the right time. He's also playing sport tonight so probably won't be back at a reasonable time.

I was contemplating getting a digital via prime and presenting him with that tomorrow but wonder if I could do without spending a tenner and just use a normal one 😂

Vic231 · 17/08/2023 12:02

@LeopardLover thank you for the line reassurance too ♥️ trying to keep calm and rational!

LeopardLover · 17/08/2023 12:30

@Vic231 Well done for keeping it to yourself!! I only managed a few hours 😂

Just remember the digital ones are really pesky and have a 25mlU/ml sensitivity vs FR which is like 6.3mIU I think!? I would hold off on a digital for a little while if you can. So exciting though!! 💜

Vic231 · 17/08/2023 12:41

@LeopardLover oh thank you for saying I had no idea! The ones I used were the rapid result ones as they didn't have any early tests on Amazon at the time.. I've just read the box and it says can detect from the day of your missed period which isn't until tomorrow so that's something!

How are you doing? ♥️

LeopardLover · 17/08/2023 12:50

@Vic231 Oh that's good! It's another sensitive one then 😊 I've actually avoided digital until I was 3 weeks pregnant, although they can still cause stress if you don't get the 3+ when you are (many women don't see it and have healthy pregnancies).

Do you have any symptoms?

I'm okay, thanks! 10 weeks now and still being sick a fair bit. Also I've had even more spotting this week but I'm choosing to ignore it for now 😅 I feel like the EPU will get sick of me soon! Work is a struggle 🤮

Vic231 · 17/08/2023 13:18

@LeopardLover I think I might avoid digital altogether 😂

10 weeks! That's gone so quickly (for us haha) Have you managed to get away with not telling work yet? Or is it too hard?

I've had full boobs, dizzy spells, headachy, a bit of tummy ache and a lot of bowel movements (not sure if that's a symptom but it's been noticeable to me 😂), hand cramp (instead of leg cramp 😂) and bubble tummy! I think that's why I tested this morning as I felt 'different' recently!

LeopardLover · 17/08/2023 13:32

I've somehow managed to avoid telling work! Goodness knows how. I keep bleeding though which is annoying, just had more blood 🫠

Wow, loads of symptoms!🤣 That bubble tummy gave it away for me too but the dodgy bowels is a big one 🙈 I hope the nausea stays away!

DuchessofSuffolk · 17/08/2023 13:48

So I posted about 10 mins ago but my post isn’t showing - hmmm

everything still the same. Not pregnant still. Periods either a day early or day late and I feel like it’s knocking everything off. Don’t understand OPKs.

im on holiday in October for two weeks tho so maybe it’s the universe allowing em to have a few cocktails. Perhaps December will be a nice time to fall so then I have a baby for September. I’m currently in my tww so we’ll see

How is everyone?

I feel like when I eventually fall pregnant, the sickness is going to be so bad. I always feel sick during ovulation and period to the point I can't eat without almost throwing up🥲x

No one can deleted posts on here, or Atleast I haven't worked out how to do that so maybe it's an internet issue? Sorry to hear your period arrived :/ how are you feeling? Opks are easier once you understand them. They're only positive if the second line is darker or the same colour as the test line. They also work best after midday until about 5pm x x

OP posts:
CAGH03 · 17/08/2023 14:00

@DuchessofSuffolk I'd be happy with falling anytime soon, but with the wedding in July, I feel the end of the year would be best as I'd have a bump, but not bursting and about to give birth, or have a newborn on the day. But I'm happy either way🥰 I just hope it happens eventually. I'm on 1dpo of cycle 13 x

DuchessofSuffolk · 17/08/2023 14:50

No I recon it is an internet issue for sure! We’ll see
