Itchiness

[Flutterly]

Hello all,

I'm still patiently waiting for af to arrive. I'm on day 36 now (last cycle was 42 days) so she could potentially come next week. I also, really don't think we managed it this month since I was away for a few days. However, on Monday and Tuesday, I was getting little twinges on my right ovary side. Not cramping, just little twinges. Also, last night and the night before, I have woken up in the middle of the night scratching both my boobs and tummy like mad. Yesterday, my boobs were bigger and OH said it was like they were hardened inside but today they feel kinda normal again.

Just wondered if any of this is a sign hehe!

Thanks,

Flutterly

I'm not sure if it's a sign or not but I'm due AF today, no sign yet, and last night I was itchy everywhere it seemed... everywhere if you know what I mean (OH thought this was hilarious and was very quick to offer his scratching services!! )

I've also had terrible insomnia over the last 3 or 4 nights and am now eating crisps as I'm craving salt...

Fingers crossed for you and here's hoping we get our soon x

 

[Flutterly]

Hey Redhead! Glad I'm not alone...I too had it everywhere like you (didn't want to mention that in first post!) OH was also laughing at me!

Like I say, I'm probably reading too much into it but I have never had this before!

Fingers crossed your af doesn't show!

Ladies, I'm itchy (everywhere) as well. Also having a HORRIBLE time falling asleep, which I don't normally have... I'm only 5 DPO so could I could just be symptom spotting. Have also had cramping, lower back pain, and started with cold symptoms... Here's to hoping! Baby dust to everyone

 

[Flutterly]

Rowan, we can't help but symptom spot hey?

Haven't stopped scratching so far today. It's a good job no-one's sitting next to me, I must look like I have fleas! I've had trouble sleeping too for the past two nights. And having really vivid dreams.

 

[Rowan37]

Ugh, all I've done is symptom spot, even though I'm in denile of it I even used an OPK this morning as I couldn't help myself and heard it may show something. There was a faint second line but I then read it will do that if there is any LH detected so essentially it mean squat, lol!

 

[Redhead84]

well AF has showed for me, right on time

Ah well... going to spend the next few months getting back into the shape that I was in a couple of years ago, and then go for it from about June. Then if nothing happens we can go to the doctor in September as I made sure I put them on notice that we were trying so they can't refuse to see if there is anything out of the ordinary.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys!!

Redhead-So sorry I know what you mean about getting back into shape though. That was my goal as well but I got lazy with the holidays...

I got more than lazy, I used to be a size 8/10 and about 10 stone, but due to a few things, depression and subsequent treatment among them, I've slowly gone up to a size 14/16 and just shy of 14 stone.. Argh!!!!

My OH thinks I'm lovely as I am, and in fact looks at photos of me from a couple of years ago and thinks I look too skinny.. But he also knows that I'm happier smaller so will do everything he can to help (he's the cook in the house so he can make a big difference!!)

I've just done 3 hard miles on the treadmill.. Amazed at how much I'm starting from scratch again when I used to row almost semi-pro!!

Nothing in life ever came easy though.

 

[Flutterly]

Oh no Redhead, sad to hear your af came. At least you have something else to concentrate on as well. I have my fingers crossed that your BFP comes when you have stopped thinking about it!!

I'm with you all on the getting in shape though. I'm lacking but I am doing the London Moonwalk in May (26.2 miles) and off to Turkey in June so need to get my bikini body into shape. Will be happy if there's a little bump there...just not a flabby back!!

I'm 150 pounds (I think about 10 stone) but was always very thin when I was younger as I rode horses everyday. I miss it so much and was about to start getting back into it when I realized I may have caught this cycle on time and should prob wait. If I had already been riding and was in shape I wouldn't worry but I don't want to start something up if there is the chance I'll get my

Rowan, I ride horses I volunteer at a stables for disabled people and get to ride - only once a week when I go! I absolutely love it but I'm aware that I need to be very careful - I nearly got thrown off at the weekenn when my horse decided to trip over himself going into canter!!

 

[Rowan37]

I miss it so much and if AF shows up this month I'll be starting up again! I really want to get back to riding but would rather have get my :BFP:

 

[Flutterly]

Absolutely!!

Well I had a bit of a teary chat with my OH this evening and told him about my idea to focus on getting fit again for a few months - he agreed, reassured me we have plenty of time, and then said I was a softy ginger ninger and gave me a big hug... I love him so much

Awww! It's nice to feel so loved, isn't it

I get worried about time as I'll be 34 in march but DH things I we have plenty of time too (easy for him to say, lol).

 

[Flutterly]

Aww Redhead, that's lovely!

I'll be 30 in October - the original plan was to try and have one before my birthday but I'm at my last chance for that now!!
