    Well no AF and I chose not to do a HPT again this morning. I've actually only got a CBD left so I either need to buy another pack of 1st response or wait until later in the week to test again. I'm feeling strangely calm about it whilst keeping everything crossed it's good news. Possibly I OV'd a little later than I thought.
    Boobies are getting slightly more tender than yesterday and I have a few more cramps. I did have a check of CM yesterday and there is a quite a lot of creamy CM at my cervix so hopefully this is good!
    And the waiting game continues...

  • I'm back from our holiday and have been sort of keeping up but apologies if I miss something.

    Slinky really sorry you're feeling it at the moment. I had something similar when TTC DD. Our very good friends announced their pg just when we starting TTC, she fell pg first cycle. She then burst my bubble 16 months later when she announced her second pregnancy just before I announced.

    She'd had 2 while we'd been trying for our 1.

    Newthrift fx it's good news soon.

    Rachy I'd go with when your body is telling you you OV'd, I think the temping is too much of an intricate science. And also hope you're feeling better in general. I can't talk as I still have moments 8 months on but I'm certainly getting there.

    AF is due tomorrow and it feels like she is definitely on her way. But tbh I've not felt like testing at all. I'm so much more chilled this cycle which I think may be now that I've pinpointed my exact OV symptoms and can pretty much tell when I OV'd I know for definite AF isn't due until tomorrow and I'm feeling particularly crampy in the usual AF kinda way. If at all I'm missing things here or I'm just way off I'm going to try and not test until Friday if AF hasn't arrived by then.

    This is so unlike me. I'm a POAS addict and would normally have tested days ago, maybe the holiday and being busy has done me good.

    Athens good to hear you're feeling much more relaxed this month.

    New you're not out until AF appears - keeping everything crossed!!

    I'm feeling a bit under the weather atm, was sick Sat evening & still not feeling great :( Hubby has GP appt on Friday to get results of his SA - feeling a bit nervous about it tbh.

    Hope everyone is keeping OK.

    Oh angel I thought the same when it was my OH. Do you have an appointment either way in your area? With ours it's no news is good news so hubby kept saying well I haven't heard it must be fine until I eventually forced him to ring just to be sure! It'll be good for you to know though xx

    Cats I'm not sure what the deal is in our area, but the surgery rang & asked him to come in which makes me think they've maybe found some issues. We'll have to wait til Friday to find out though

    Not at all cats, I'm such a worry wort I had myself convinced there was something wrong as soon as hubby told me lol. Even if it's not great news at least we'll have some answers.
  • Newthrift - I'm keeping everything crossed for you. The signs seem good

    AthensGeorgia - I still have my sad moments and rather stupidly pull myself out of them instead of letting myself get upset and let it out. I think it's just my way of coping and it can be in public which is awkward. I think announcements are always going to make me bristle as I feel that my special time has been taken away from me because people who know what happened won't get that surprise and major excitement feeling again next time. For example, telling my mam was amazing and I feel I can never relive that moment again where we all feel as happy and excited. I hope I am wrong.

    Angel - Try not to worry too much, I think most surgeries won't give results over the phone and especially not such delicate ones like that. Good luck and I hope you get some answers.
  • Rachy sorry you feel that way. I think you'll find next time people will have a different sort of happiness for you. I do it now when I know someone has been ttc for a while finally conceives my genuine feeling of being happy for them outweighs the I wish it was me feeling.

    DH's cousin had her baby last week. It's been difficult but not as bad as I was expecting. When she announced her pg I was still suffering the physical problems of the mc and was gutted but feel proud of myself that I've coped better than I would have thought.

    I think my ss is kicking in now. I have sore nipples, looking back on ovia it's not a normal pms symptom for me and my usual pre AF cramps are just not here.
