So it appears I posted the 1,000 message on our previous thread and now it's closed so I've opened us a new home!

We will be trying again this month, hopefully in the next few days so fingers crossed.
How are you doing @Waiting2BAMummy?

Waiting2BAMummy · 26/10/2020 17:50

Had a donation today @KLO0224 but my OPK hasn’t turned positive yet and this donor only does one a month so 🤷🏻‍♀️ Have been chatting with someone else though so might try and meet them Wednesday and possibly Friday which will hopefully cover me.

Good luck for this month.

Oh good luck to you too! We are hoping to do it Thursday/Friday and maybe Saturday depending on OPK.

KLO0224 · 03/11/2020 20:29

So we inseminated on Thursday and Friday last week. I got my solid smiley on Saturday morning but didn’t inseminate that day. Hopefully it was enough although I doubt it. Now the dreaded 2ww.

Sunbird24 · 03/11/2020 21:37

Best of luck @KLO0224!

Waiting2BAMummy · 03/11/2020 21:38

Good luck @KLO0224 I have inseminated 3 times this cycle by haven’t had a positive opk. On Saturday I hard a slight streak of pink when I wiped. Sunday when I removed my soft cup after my insem it had a streak of red and some brown (sorry tmi) and have had brown when I wipe yesterday and today. I’m cd23 today but I think AF is on her way.

Clearly I want you get my message! No idea what happened there sorry 🤦🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
KLO0224 · 04/11/2020 19:15

Haha, I have no idea either. How have you been. Did AF show her ugly face? Could it not be implantation rather than the witch?

Waiting2BAMummy · 04/11/2020 20:34

Brown stuff has pretty much gone now and no AF @KLO0224 I’m so confused. I’d be surprised if it was implantation since I had no positive opk and no temp rise.

OP posts:
KLO0224 · 05/11/2020 08:18

Oh well fingers crossed, there’s always hope until you come on. When will you test? Xx

Waiting2BAMummy · 05/11/2020 08:59

Well the spotting started last Saturday so maybe this weekend @KLO0224. Though I remember I had trouble inserting the soft cup on Friday night and it was a little painful so I’m wondering if I scratched my cervix and maybe that’s what caused the bleeding. I’ve never had anything like that before.

How are you feeling?

OP posts:
KLO0224 · 09/11/2020 11:16

I’m ok, not feeling pregnant lol! Did you do a test? It is quite possible that’s what happened, got my fingers crossed for you! X

Waiting2BAMummy · 09/11/2020 18:13

I tested yesterday @KLO0224 BFN. I feel like AF is definitely on its way.

Many women say the month they got their BFP was the month they had less symptoms so not feeling pregnant doesn’t mean you’re out. FRER’s are buy one get one half price in boots I got 2 boxes for £15.73! Not that I’m encouraging you to POAS!! 😂

OP posts:
KLO0224 · 09/11/2020 20:09

Oh dear, try to stay positive, there is always next month if AF does show. Your time will come Smile
I didn’t have many symptoms when I was pregnant other than sore boobs and been incredibly tired, I also had weird dreams but that’s not unusual for me, I’ve had 3 this last week lol.
I don’t think I can stand the disappointment of doing a test so I think this month we will just see if AF turns up.
I’ve had back ache and a bit cranky today so can imagine in the next week she will come!

KLO0224 · 29/11/2020 20:40

@Waiting2BAMummy did anything come of last months attempt? We are due to inseminate again this week, so the waiting will begin again!

Waiting2BAMummy · 29/11/2020 21:38

Ended up having a 42 day cycle @KLO0224 I’m on CD7 today. I’m taking inofolic alpha and soy isoflavones so really hoping I actually ovulate this month. It’s so hard with my cycles all over the place though as I have absolutely no idea when I will likely ovulate.

Good luck this week. Hopefully this will be your last TWW.

OP posts:
KLO0224 · 29/11/2020 22:05

Oh that is rubbish. My cycles can be anything from 32 to 47 days. I think I would probably kill for a 28 dayer!
I have carried on taking the evening primrose oil and pregnacare conception vitamins. I have no idea if it makes a difference but I think we will try anything won’t we lol!
I will keep my fingers crossed for you that you catch your ovulation

Waiting2BAMummy · 29/11/2020 22:14

Thank you @KLO0224 hopefully this will be our month and we’ll get Christmas BFP’s. What a way to end this shitter of a year!

OP posts:
KLO0224 · 29/11/2020 22:20

Definitely would be the best end to the worst year!
I got a birthday card that said ‘you are not a year older, 2020 doesn’t count’ I totally agree! So 34 I shall remain 😂 xx

Waiting2BAMummy · 29/11/2020 22:24

Love it. That’s great because I’ve told myself I have to accept it isn’t going to happen if I haven’t conceived by my 40th which is the middle of next year. If 2020 doesn’t count I’ve got until 2022 😂😂
