@amarie with my angel baby my SO was the same... If I said I'm feeling this way or that way he'd just say "You're pregnant not sick don't make it worse" but we weren't really in a good place then and he has calmed down a lot he's even asking me about symptoms now... Don't take your SO personal he doesn't understand all of the changes your body is going through he can just see you from a distance I also agree with what lissa said

@Anna I know how you feel. I found out this week that two friends are pregnant with their second. I can't say I wasn't gutted for myself

@lisa @amarie I hope you are both doing well! I had a dreadful first pregnancy from week 2 I being pregnant until the end. So I know how you both feel.

For all of you waiting to ovulate good luck!

My update. I literally cannot believe it but had a massive temp drop and AF was there when I went to the toilet this morning Shocked is an understatement as I'm not due until Monday so this is a short cycle. But I'm incredibly stressed this month as my business has a big event tomorrow to Sunday. I should have guessed as I had an acne breakout too which I hardly ever get. On the plus side, which I'm trying to hold on to, I'm off today prepping for my event so I'm waiting right now to get my blood tests done as they have to be done on days 1-3. The results take 2 weeks to come through. Hubby needs to get his semen analysis done now which I can't afford until payday so 1 week to go for that. He's not looking forward to it

@scuba omg no I'm so sorry babe that was quick!! And yeah I can think that SO isnt too happy about a sperm analysis we're much more open to things than they are but I hope it all goes well !!

@Anna thank you. Feeling a little tearful but nothing I can do about it now. If I'm quiet next few days I'm not ignoring you all. I'll try and catch up properly on Monday xxx

Oh I’m so sorry scuba, I honestly thought this was going to be your cycle, is there any chance it could be implantation bleeding as your in that window time wise xx

An odd one for me, when I usually have a blazing peak my opk will be clearly negative by 24/36 hours later, the top pic is Monday’s 200 reading and today I’m still reading high, I definitely think I ovulated Tuesday but this cycle has been really weird, my temps don’t look good either, seems my body might be a bit messed up still

Speaking of opks can you guys give me some advice? I haven't used opks in forever and I'm getting the clearblue digis (I have decided that I'd be buying those so I'm heading to town in an hour or so)... Do you guys do a hold before testing? They're really expensive and I dont wanna mess it up lol

Anna I’ve read it’s best to use them in the morning unlike opk strips that are better later on, the digi are no good for me because I’m so irregular and have to test for longer periods of time x

@emma its mid day so I'm gonna take one now and then from tomorrow I'll use fmu as I'm already on cd13 today so I should ovulate soon

@pandorica how are they working for you? I'm on edge still about actually getting them so I think I might skip getting them at lunch and going after work if I decided by then... I watched videos where people say you have to start at a certain cycle day and all that...

@anna I just got the clear blue digis today myself. I have been using the cheap strips and have just been getting frustrated with trying to time taking them with my schedule. I am a teacher so I don’t have a lot of time during the day to take them. The digis just fit better for me. Took my first one this morning and got a negative. Now I know I don’t need to test again until tomorrow. So much more convenient and takes a load off my mind.

@scuba I am so sorry hun! It is so frustrating and disappointing.

@pandora good luck!! Exciting to see a positive opk!!

FMS: I did have a drop in temp today but that doesn’t surprise me at the moment. My chest has been hurting and I have had pinching pains on both sides. All normal signs that I will probably O soon. Hoping to see it!!
