  • We're going away tomorrow and usually spend most of my time on here when I'm work so will be more lurkier than normal.

    How's the ss going New? Are you being good?

    I'm being good and trying to just note stuff down so I have a record to look back on if need be.
    defiantly getting quite a few 'twinges' and cramps in the right area which is not a normal pms symptom for me at this stage. CM is defiantly different and nausea is showing its face at least 2hrs per day. Fingers crossed it points to good but who knows *buries face in hands*
    Have a good holiday

    Hi everyone,

    I'm struggling to read and catch up with people's posts I can't seem to concentrate!

    Keeping fingers crossed for you newthrift! All sounds very positive!

    AF is due tomorrow and I'm cramping with huge boobs (normal for me) no spotting yet & lots of CF but last month AF didn't arrive until cd 31 so will wait and see.

    If this month isn't for us we are having a break next month. We are going away (Europe) but the Zika virus is there so, we will be having a rest as a precaution so I'm not panicking if I get bitten!!

  • 1 day DPO for me please. I'm not feeling hopeful, as OH was not feeling well over the weekend, so we only managed the 1 BD session. Trying not to feel frustrated with it all and failing miserably.
  • Hey all, taken me ages to catch up.

    Been quite emotional this past week, started when I got a midwife appointment through the post. A complaint letter went swiftly in - do they not communicate? It's the same surgery !!!!!!! Also had lots of announcements and people asking questions about when I am going to have one - usual rubbish. It just makes me think how many weeks I should be now.

    In other news, I decided to follow SMEP plan this cycle as it worked for me last time but it fell apart a bit as we started a day earlier. Whoops! Anyway, we did the BD x 3 after positive OPK and one of the apps had me down as Ov date on Day 11 (positive OPK). However I started temping on Day 10 and another app has my Ov date as Day 15 due to those *rolleyes*. I have never been able to do temps very well as I wake up all night long, I think it's due to this pressure of knowing I have to temp after a 4 hour block of sleep at the same time. I wake almost every hour from 3am and try to log at 6am but think if I have been awake, it can't be accurate - I just don't want to stop doing it! Ahhhhhh

    Either way, I think we have managed to catch either day IYSWIM. I hate seeing the Ov dates as different and the erratic temps though as it makes it seem like there's no chance and I am not 100% I am even Oving at all. It's so complicated

    firebird Just remember it only takes one to make it happen :)
    lottie Good idea taking a break if not this month (although FX), if you are going to a zika area.
    rachy FX! I've never temp't as I often end up waking up when DH goes to work and go for a wee, and it's always anytime between 4am-5.30am so I think to much of a swing. Bodies are strange things, when you least expect it, they usually give you what you want. I really wish people wouldn't ask, I hope things start to improve. xx

    My skin this past week, and still now, is really poor with spots/blemishes. I've not had it like this in yearss! mainly around the jaw bone and part way up my cheeks/chin. Really hoping it calms down soon as i'm feeling quite self conscious about it. I did have a drink last night, just the one. In some ways maybe I shouldn't of, but sometimes I get so frustrated being careful all the time.
    Ovia tells me I should POAS today but I'm not due AF until Sunday so I am ignoring it. Won't be testing until earliest Monday (I was going to hold of for 1 week but I don't know if I will be able to in the event AF doesn't show) :o

    Firebird, exactly what new said!!

    Rachy that's so insensitive of the surgery, I'd be fuming :mad:

    Lottie fx the witch stays away.

    New you must have amazing willpower, I'd have caved in by now.

    Afm, I'm ss like mad. Nothing different from my normal lead up to AF, I just like to torture myself :o Not sure when to expect AF - based on my normal cycle length it should be tomorrow/Wed, but I oved around CD16, so could be later

    Good point both, I wasn't thinking about it like that! Let's hope there was a strong one in there and the timing was right :)

    Rachy - that's appalling from the surgery, definitely get a complaint in. That's something they should manage much better.

    Newthrift, sounds like you're doing a great job of staying patient - everything crossed for you x
