AF on 20th - Anyone else?

[Pne1985]

Oh good, so you will have a week before the wedding? Is it next weekend?

Sticky, that's awesome that you cm is already changing, maybe you'll have an early ovulation!!

Girls, I forgot to tell you that I did drink a big glass of grapefruit juice every morning last cycle too because I read it increased cm.

And I feel pretty good, no morning sickness. Just a little uneasy stomach all day. My left boob is getting bigger by the minute. It's going to be double the size of the right one by the end of my first trimester. Haha.

I always wonder where Rose went also..?

 

[London Kiwi]

Hey ladies,

Sticky I'm delighted to hear you sound upbeat, it's great given what you've gone through over the past months.

Pne you must be delighted that morning sickness is staying away, hope that continues for you!

I think maybe Rose is taking a break... Didn't hear if she got a BFP this cycle or not. I reckon she'll pay us a visit at some point 😊

CD8 for me. DTD last night and I think this month we will DTD every 2nd day for the next 7-10 days. I've got some cheapie OPKs at home so might use those but not going to waste my money on digis.

We have the next wedding this Friday, according to Ovia my most fertile day will be Saturday so I think there might have to be some compulsory hotel sex happening! 😉

I feel positive about this month, I hope that continues!

 

[Pne1985]

Yes but I don't remember feeling this uneasy this early with our son, so I'm hoping it doesn't progress! I was working more then also so maybe it was because my mind was preoccupied. We had a party this weekend so I drank a few NA beers. I just took a regular empty beer can and poured the NA in it so that way people didn't suspect anything! Haha

I'm glad you're feeling positive London. Keep staying upbeat. I think sometimes the stress on your body doesn't accept babies. They love a comforting atmosphere!

I thought the same about Rose. I will be estatic to see her get her bfp!

 

[London Kiwi]

Ha good work Pne. In the UK there are so many non-alcoholic drinks that you can buy so its easy to trick people into thinking its the real thing.
Im always at weddings, parties and the likes so I think that when I do get pregnant it will be really hard for me to hide it.

Hopefully that will be this month!

Wouldnt it be lovely if Rose did get her BFP!! And me, and sticky! Its time we were all lucky.

Im still feeling determined for this month to be my month! Its absolutely roasting hot in London, into the 30s so im going to have to do some serious convincing to get the husband to DTD over the coming days. We can hardly move in these temps let alone DTD ha!

 

[Pne1985]

Haha I'm the same way, I like to have a beer or two socially or depending the occasion, sometimes more. So for me not to drink, is a suspicion to everyone! Haha. It was very hard. I had to pretty much tell everyone to get outside so I could swap them out! The one time I did it in the bathroom and hid the empty NA can under the sink! Haha I just can't wait to tell people so I don't have to live a lie anymore.

It would be amazing for you all to get pregnant around the same time. Im hoping and praying for you all!

Is that 30 degree Celsius? If so, that's how it is in PA. It's going to get up into the 90's this week and I am not looking forward to it. I love summer but not a huge fan of the hot weather. Fall is by far my favorite season!!

 

[London Kiwi]

Ha Pne I think we are very similar, I could also imagine myself swapping them over in the bathroom!
We have A lot on this summer with weddings and engagement parties etc but luckily London sells a huge variety of non-alcoholic lager in the pubs so if I'm lucky enough to get pregnant this summer I should be easily able to hide it... Maybe!

So yeah 30 degrees is around 90 Fahrenheit.
We have had a couple of days in London that have been 32, DTD is near impossible in that heat! It's so humid here in those temps!
Disgustingly sweaty last night we gave it a go and will do again tonight (CD11), tomorrow is the wedding so will have a day off as no doubt we'll be too boozed to move then will try DTD CD13 & 14 and will hopefully catch the egg.

I haven't been doing OPKs be it's simply slipped my mind to be honest, and yet again I've forgotten to bring one to work - maybe we'll Just wing it this month and fingers crossed we are lucky.

Hope you're feeling ok Pne! And hope Rose & Sticky are both great too X

 

[stickylizard]

Hi ladies!! It's been full on here, it's the last week of term and honestly it's insanity the amount of trips and meetings etc - my eldest is leaving Reception and my second eldest is starting in September, I've not had time to check in. Also my friend has just moved house from an abusive relationship so I've been giving her all my spare time. Pretty sure I ovulated today! I had the signature back ache and EWCM, on CD17 (well 18 now as past midnight) I've managed to get my husband to dtd 3x this week including just before we came to bed fingers and legs now tightly crossed!! How is everyone? It has been roasting here in Bristol too and we were all hot and irritable. Now I am just tired from running myself ragged! Will update again shortly... And into the luteal TWW we go! xxx

 

[Pne1985]

London, I feel like we are similar also.
It has been extremely hot and dry here as well. We will be catering a wedding mostly outside today, it's not going to be enjoyable!! I like Summer but not when it is this hot!
What day do you normally ovulate?

Sticky, yea for going into the tww already!! It sounds like you've been super busy, all of that and 4 kids...i don't know how you remember your own name! Haha. Now what does Reception mean? By their ages I'm guessing it's like what Kindergarten is in the US?
I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you all!!

 

[London Kiwi]

Hey Ladies,
Back from a large weekend in Estonia for our friends wedding, was so much fun!
Pne i never seem to ovulate on a particular day, when I was using digis it was normally btwn CD13 and 17 - I havent used anything this month, thinking I might go pick up some cheapies today and see if I get a positive.
Im on CD15 today, we have been DTD a fair bit, havent had any ovulation signs but then i've been so blimmin busy it might've passed without me realising. We DTD the last two nights, might give tonight a miss and once more tomorrow for luck
I really want this month to be the month - Fingers crossed!!
Sticky, sounds like things have been very full on for you, looking after all your kids plus being there for your friend, you are amazing. I hope your friend is doing ok, sounds like moving house is the best thing for her.
The TWW - exciting but scary! This has to be our month Sticky!!
Wonder how Rose is getting on?

 

[London Kiwi]

Im officially in the TWW! .... well I think!
Pretty sure i ovulated yesterday-ish. Had some faint dull cramps and given today is CD16 that seems about right.

Now.....lets get these BFPs ladies!!

 

[Pne1985]

Yay London!! I know this is your month!! Relax and enjoy some alcoholic beverages because when you get that bfp in a couple of weeks, they are no more. Although, it doesn't bother me a bit and because I feel nauseous at the thought of everything, it doesn't even sound good right now! It must be our bodies way of naturally taking care of itself! Haha
How are ya sticky? Are things calming down?
I know, I always wonder about Rose also!

 

[London Kiwi]

Aww thanks Pne, i really hope this is my month!
I finally have a weekend with no wedding on! so I think i'm going to chill out at home, order a takeaway and have a few beers - sounds perfect to me!
Nauseous at the thought of alcohol? My body is going to reject me haha.
Have you much morning sickness?

 

[London Kiwi]

Im confused, ha!
Well I dont usually symptom spot but today for around 10mins I had a pulling sensation (hard to describe) on my right side.
I am now concerned that I've misjudged the big O and maybe its happening now ? (CD19, seems a bit late if im a strict 27-28 cycle?)
Hmmm maybe it was nothing!

 

[Pne1985]

London, sounds like a nice weekend!!
Um yeah, I haven't been feeling too spry but I haven't actually throw up yet though. I try to hold it back so that could be why. I can't complain too much although I have been to my husband. I was working when l was pregnant with our son and now I stay at home, do I think I didn't have time to think about it and now I do.

And I would say that is too late for ovulation. Maybe you ovulated and you felt implantation!? Thats strange that it happened for 10 minutes. You would notice something like that if it drug out that long!

 

[Amy101]

Hi, this is my second cycle trying to conceive our baby #3, I had essure reverse last month so my chances of pregnancy are only 50% so I'm hoping I'm one of that 50%. I almost missed my ovulation because after my surgery, my cycle was 37 days (I typically have a 28 CD) so I was going to start testing with LH strips on DC 16, but I got this fern scope (so worth the $20) and I noticed fern on the scope (this happens when estrogen increases nearing ovulation) so I decided let me check with OPK, and what do you know, a big fat positive (surge only lasted about 12 hours) so I been BD every other day, then daily after that +OPK..... Fertility friend is saying I O on tuesday, and Glow is saying on 1DPO... so not sure why they have different O day

Plus the apps keep change the start of my AF, originally (according to my new cycle) was to start 8/25, not the app is saying it should start 8/10 I will start testing at 10 DPO can't help it...LOL

 

[Pne1985]

Hi Amy! I'm sure that long of a cycle drives you bonkers. Hopefully the 10th is the right start and not any later, that way you can get your bfp sooner.

Sticky and London how are you ladies doing? Any changes?

I'm getting a little worried that something isn't right. My breast soreness has dwindled almost to going completely away. And they don't feel as heavy and my nipples are as tender. Plus, I'm not as nauseous as I was. It seemed to all go away yesterday and I thought maybe it was just an odd day, but it seems to be the same today. I'm still hopefully that it's a good thing but Tuesday's appointment can't come soon enough!! I'm going to try to stay super busy so I can't dwell on it all.

 

[London Kiwi]

Oh no Pne, I really hope that you're just having a couple of off days and your body is just reacting to changes.
I have my fingers crossed for you... I so hope that things are ok. Whats your appointment on Tues? Just a check up.
Thinking of you!

Im around 7 DPO I think!
I know this sounds ridiculous but in the weekend I was doing alot of painting etc, I didnt sit down yesterday from 7am till about 8pm... if I was lucky enough to conceive does being on the go non stop have any effect on my chances, or am I just going mad haha.

AF is due on Sunday, I have a couple of cheapie tests at home so maybe I might text on Saturday if Im not spotting.

Really wanted this to be my month, will wait and see....

 

[Pne1985]

Thanks London! My breasts are more sore now. I'm hoping it was just an odd day. It drives me crazy though, because I expect to feel the same day in and day out. But it has been super hot here, and yesterday morning wasn't too bad, so I don't know if the heat makes it worse?! And I catered Saturday, and it's non-stop, physical work so that made me nervous that I lifted to heavy or something. Yes, Tuesday is my first appointment with my doctor and they do an ultrasound then. The machines are older, but it gives you a good idea of how big you're measuring and whatnot. And then next week, I will go to get an ultrasound with the specialist and theirs are 3d so they are way easier to see! Thanks for the positive vibes!!

Oh man, not too much longer!! I'm hoping and praying it's your month also! I'm not going to lie, if I was you, I probably would be testing already!! And I don't believe that being too active should affect anything, especially if it's something you would have done without TTC.

 

[London Kiwi]

Hopefully its just being busy and the weather thats making you feel a bit different. Bet you've never been so pleased to have sore boobs! All will be fine Pne, and you have your appointments for the reassurance that you need.

I have been feeling a bit crampy this afternoon, im thinking its just a bit of an upset stomach and im in dire need of an early night, will be taking myself to bed early tonight for sure!

Im going to avoid the cupboard where the cheapies are! I have pretty good self control so as long as I continue to not test I should be ok. the minute I cave i'll be testing every day!!

Hope the appointment goes well tomorrow - please keep us in the loop!

 

[London Kiwi]

Good Luck today Pne, hope the appointment goes well x
