Vespa, how are you? Any symptoms?

 

[Kitana]

So sorry char, hope this month is THE month for all of us!

I'm 6 or 7 dpo depending what app I check
Yesterday I was watching Shrek 2 with my daughter and I started crying when the giant gingerbread man lost his arms!!!
I hope that is a good sign otherwise I would feel verrrry silly!

Silly question - if you ov later than you expected, does af come later? I'm not sure if your luteal phase is fairly regular or if it changes with ov. Say you have 27 day cycle and ov was CD 12 instead of 14, should you expect af in cd27? I don't think My app is quite sure either

Hey Radley, your luteal phase should always remain the same, give or take a day. So if you ov later your period will come later but LP will still be the same as it was the month before. So if you ov cd17 and have a 14LP you'll expect AF on cd31. If you ov early say cd10 you'll expect AF on cd24 as you'll still have a 14LP.

Hope that makes sense and answers your question xxx

Kitana - you have definitely brightened my day!
I literally cry at everything and OH can never believe the stuff that makes me cry but this is absolutely brilliant!
I really hope your crying is a symptom though x

Hi. Just tap on yesterday and put light medium or heavy flow and it'll change it to day 1. I love FF. I'm 9dpo and nothing yet not feeling positive as we only successfully dtd once because of ED xx

 

[chattychar1990]

Been and bought my EPO with Vit E vitamins and Folic Acid with Vit D this morning. Debating whether to buy the Maca Powder and try that too. Don't see no harm in trying aye
Anyone else going to try the Maca? x

That makes sense about the luteal phase.

My emotions were up yesterday as my back has gone. It took my 45 min to crawl up to bed in agony. I literally dont know what to do with myself. Got some diazepam from my gp then read in the pack that ttc you shouldn't take it. So spoke to another gp in the middle of the night and he said its up to me. If I don't get a bfp next week and have gone through complete agony for nothing I will be pretty pi&&ed off.
I literally can't walk without help. Work will be arsed about it. It's a complete mess

I cried a bit yesterday but fairly sure that was the pain rather than anything else, lol

Oh Radley the pain that you are in sounds horrific. I hope you start to feel better soon.
Work cant really say much it's not asif you have a little cold, you cant actually move. The only place for you is in bed/the sofa infront of the TV hun.
Really hope you get your bfp hun x

I saw the thread on Maca thinking about it, only worry I have is on top of other bits and bobs vitimins etc do you reckon it’s okay?! I really havnt done much research into it though. But yes willing to try!

Feeling deflated again, I feel like I’m trying all sorts & nothing is working. One of my friends recently got pregnant straight away from changing nothing. I don’t feel pregnant, had hoped maybe I had conceived for the last few days, fuller heavier boobs, the dull aches/cramps last week, emotional outburst & tiredness but I think that is just all me. I’m quite emotional & can suffer from mood swings quite severely anyway. I feel nothing today. I also confided in a female family member and they just told me to switch off & not think about it as I’m too stressed. At a loss girls!

Morning all! Sorry I haven’t been around, I needed to take a few days out.

Headed to my parents at the weekend, even forgot to take my thermometer and had decided that I am not going to take my temperature any more after ovulation. Caved in on Monday morning when I saw the thermometer beside the bed. Temp still the same, odd!

No symptoms really, still no sore boobs, af cramps so I told my OH we were out and made an appointment with my GP to start investigations.

Yesterday my temp jumped a little, very odd. Said it to my OH and we decided not to test. Then afterwards I decided I wanted to but I’d already peed, did it with smu, I’m not sure I could even call it a squinter but I felt something was there on my ic.

This morning my temp jumped again, tested with fmu but started a new batch of tests and these look very cheap and as if someone had cut normal ones in half, so skinny! I’d woken up at 4:30 so kept my pee (think I got this tip from Vintageling) and used it on one strip when I got up at 8am and also peed again on another. BFN on both. But I’d had loads more tugging and pulling and cramping last night and my boobs felt sorer, I felt pregnant.

Stopped at the chemist on the way to work and got a FRER. Had brought my pee in the jar with me in the car. Did the test in the car-park and lo and behold bfp! Attached photo, looks darker in real life. Rang my OH to tell him and had to explain how I’d tested because he was just asking me ‘but where did you pee??

Period isn’t due until tomorrow and due to my mc I won’t be getting my hopes up until after 12 weeks. I think we all know on here how fragile this can be. Just relieved that it’s happened again, was really starting to worry. Have kept my GP appointment for Monday so she can confirm and I’ll get booked in with my consultant from last time so I’m on the books if anything starts going wrong.

You'd be surprised. We are only allowed 12 days sickness in a year or 4 episodes. So this will wipe out a whole year I think and then I'll be on a warning. Last year they said I couldn't be ill for 6 months and then they changed it to one year or I faced disciplinary action. They literally dont give a toss about us which is ironic consider how we help everyone else.

Just peed into a smoothie bottle. I've hit an all time low
