Sneaking back in...

[2ducks]

Belle, your chart is pretty looking! Mine always looks like a shit show but I can still see a shift.

Wishn, Yeah, I too wish I wasn't so damn aware of everything that is going on and could be oblivious!

I am bored out of my skull today...three clients cancelled at work. I broke my PCOS diet and got a DQ mini blizzard because i was craving sweets. The joy was so short lived, I now feel gross!

 

[BelleNuit]

2ducks as long as you can see the shift not much else matters on that chart!

Wishn, I had 2 dips last cycle and also hoped it might have been twins haha.

Oh the things we put ourselves through when TTC!

 

[MissDoc]

Haha! I am so laughing at all of your funny TTC anecdotes about "reading into" the symptoms and chart shifts. I do that every. single. time. It's hilarious. I mean, pretty much each time I'll google "fill in the blank" (e.g., implantation dip, nausea 10dpo, spotting before AF, CM in early pregnancy, blah blah blah) each freaking cycle when it comes up. And then I'm like, oh, I should read this article or post... this looks relevant! Never mind that I read the same damn article every month when I google this same very thing. Lol. Oh TTC, how crazy you make us!

But all kidding aside, I'm totally eyeing that spike you had, Belle. It looks really exciting. Optimistic is better than pessimistic any day!

Ducks, oh my goodness a DQ blizzard sounds so good. I hope it was delicious and so worth the yucky feeling later.

Wishn, I totally wish the exact same thing. I could never be one of the "oops, I guess my period is a week late, I wonder if I should test" sort of women. Oh how I wish I was, though!

I rescheduled my labs for first thing in the morning, so I'm excited it wasn't hard to bump it back a little. While I hate having my period and being out for this cycle, I do enjoy not temping or worrying about any signs, symptoms, or food/drink intake whatsoever. That's kind of nice!

 

[MrsBeany85]

Thanks ladies, it's nice to know other people understand!

Sorry af got you ladies...here's to the start of a new cycle though, sending lots of positive vibes and babydust.

Ducks, Belle and Wishn - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you all! Tww is the longest two weeks and it's hard to not analyse everything! Hoping things go well!

 

[BelleNuit]

Hahaha it's so good to know I'm not the only one! Doc I do the same thing! There are some sites I must have read 3-4 times (if not more) by now lol

I'm glad you're enjoying the break from temping and that it was so easy to move your appointment date!!

Beany, I really feel for you! You thought you were almost done your TWW and now you have to start all over again! Fingers crossed for you!!

 

[MrsBeany85]

Thanks Belle, I got quite excited yesterday, almost felt like I'd got a bonus shot at it or something, but now I'm just convinced this is not our cycle. Bless DH, he got super excited and was like "right, this is it! When do we need to bd?!". I guess we'll just have to wait (and wait and wait...) and see

 

[Pleasance]

Doc - I'm sorry AF got you.
Belle - I'm going to be sprinkle extra baby dust your way with that temp spike!
Beany - I've lost track, what CD are you at now?

 

[MrsBeany85]

Pleasance I'm on cd31 now...I have to say I keep losing track myself! Im hoping this isn't going to be one of my crazy 60+ day cycles, although I have been pretty stressed the past couple of weeks and last time I was super stressed is when I had the 65 day cycle.

 

[BelleNuit]

Pleasance thanks for the extra baby dust! I'm going to need it!

Beany a 65 day cycle would completely stress me out!

I'm definitely feeling weird these days. Fell asleep on the couch at 7 tonight and still exhausted. Nips started hurting today too. Worst pms ever.

My skin isn't breaking out though, which it often does before AF and I'm not having any creamy cm which I usually have quite a bit of.

This cycle is definitely playing with my head!

 

[2ducks]

Belle- Your chart def looks promising. Those symptoms would be playing with my head. I wish I had some uterus goggles so I could tell you what's going on!

Beaney- Cheers to a new cycle, hopefully it starts soon!

Would those of you who don't have a signature mind adding one with how long you have been ttc, any dx/testing and where you are in your cycle? I find that I am getting some stories confused and then have to back track through threads to figure things out. It would be super helpful!

 

[WishnandHopn]

Beany don't count yourself out yet!

Belle...that chart...those symptoms....I would be getting excited!

2ducks uterus goggles yes! Or a uterus window! I'd like one of those so I can just take a peek and see if anything is happening in there!

10 dpo for me today...nothing interesting going on. No spotting yet...which makes me think I O'd later than I thought since I usually spot by now.

 

[BelleNuit]

Hahaha OMG I need a pair of those uterus goggles!!

I had a dream last night that I was massively pregnant and then ended up having a cheeky little girl lol. More wish fulfillment!

My temp was super high again today, this chart is definitely playing with my head now. I'm 12 dpo today and usually have spotting from now until AF. I'll consider it a great sign if I have no spotting. Fingers crossed!!!

 

[MrsBeany85]

Loving the sound of the uterus goggles - where do I handover my money?!

Ducks I also keep getting confused so I apologise to everyone if I spout complete rubbish!

Belle, I'm excited for you! Fx

Wishn keeping fx for you too, hoping the spotting stays away!

I'm thinking O day may be today for me, but we'll see how things are looking over the next few days - knowing me I'll have more O signs next weekend!! Staying cautiously optimistic for now

 

[2ducks]

I took a big step today...a close friend of mine had her first baby last April. It was hard to take in the pregnancy because we have been having so much trouble of our own. We live far apart so I haven't seen the baby yet. Every time she sends a video I have deleted it because I would get a huge pit in my stomach and feel sad about not having a cute little person to hold...well I watched the video I was sent today and didn't feel anxious/sad/mad or anything. I find I just need a lot of time to adjust and get over these things.

 

[MrsBeany85]

Well done ducks! I don't think everyone appreciates how difficult that can be. Whilst you want to be happy for your friend you can't help feeling a bit jealous and even bitter (in my experience!) about it. One day last year I burst into tears at work because I found out a girl who worked in another office in my building was pregnan. I know her, but I'm not really friends with her, but I somehow felt betrayed, like how could she just fall pregnant "by accident" when I was trying so hard! Felt like am idiot for crying, but I just couldn't help it.

Now you've made that first step I hope it will feel easier for you

 

[BelleNuit]

Ducks, that's a huge step! I'm glad it went well for you! You're definitely not alone in feeling that way. I've had to unfollow people on Facebook because seeing all their posts about their pregnancy just killed me a little inside. It's not a nice feeling that's for sure!

 

[WishnandHopn]

2ducks good for you....it's so hard, because of course you want to feel happy for someone close to you having a baby but seeing someone else get what you want more than anything can be so heart wrenching. Hugs!

I have a pregnant friend due one month from now so I plan to buy a gift for her baby this weekend and plan a lunch date to give it to her. Seeing her big round bump makes me a little sad but also gives me hope! I'm gonna get there! It helps that she knows we're TTC and doesn't ask nosy questions about it and she also doesn't complain about how hard it is to be pregnant in front of me...

 

[BelleNuit]

Started spotting AF will likely show up on time

 

[MrsBeany85]

Oh Belle, I'm really hoping it's not af for you

 

[WishnandHopn]

Oh no Belle that sucks...I hope she stays away.

I'm starting to feel a little crampy myself...which is way early and quite annoying.
