Oh my gosh Pion, I'm so sorry. What a shock! Such an awful thing to happen! Take care xx

BoBo90 · 27/06/2016 22:20

Oh Poin I'm so sorry!!

What a total bastard breaking up with you like that!! 😡 It's going to be hard and emotional but you will eventually move on and you deserve better than a man who ends things over whatsapp!!

Take it as a sign from the universe and one day you will be ttc with your soul mate! Take care of yourself lovely and spend time with family and friends for support xxxx

Johno I know how that is, my oh works in a pub so does crazy shifts too so makes it difficult. I find mornings are best though... even if he got home in the middle of the night he doesn't object to a morning dtd before I go to work and he goes back to sleep lol. Men.

Poin I am so sorry for you. I know it probably doesn't mean anything, especially coming from strangers, but we all know how stressful and anxious this ttc can be so having that happen must be heartbreaking but anyone who treats you like that isn't worth you. I hope you're OK.

Johno85 · 27/06/2016 21:21

Holy shit Poin. I am really really sorry to hear your awful news. I have literally been exactly there. Sending you hugs via the Internet and hope that man never relocates his balls!!!

Poin86 · 27/06/2016 21:18

Hi BoBo, unfortunately you can remove me from the list rather than continue to let you add it!
He split up with me via whatsapp at 2am Sunday morning Angry whilst i was asleep next to him and is wanting to buy me out of the house so I will not be TTC.. well with anyone now. 😢😢 lost, totally broken, and terribly upset.
Good luck to you all and thanks for your support over the past three threads. Take care.xx

Johno85 · 27/06/2016 21:11

Hey jj. Well he's a chef so we only actually go to bed at the same time about 2 or 3 times a week. Then I'm up before him or vice versa, and he often finishes late and I'm asleep when he gets in. I was really relaxed last cycle (and still trying to be) but I basically explained the actual stats of it and he was like "oh right, yeh that's quite a low percentage chance".... Was like a lightbulb moment.

I just can't help but think if we just "see what happens" with his shifts we could end up eternally ttc! Good news is my cycles have finally sorted heir act out. Pretty sure I'm gonna ov about the same time as last cycle which means about a 31 cycle again. It's getting to that point now that when I ever get my BFP I'm gonna be in total shock!

Jjspoon · 27/06/2016 20:54

Thanks for the updated list bobo, it's getting difficult to keep up with everyone there are so many! You're right, it must happen for someone (or two!) Soon!

Haha go johno! How does he feel about it, is he ok about doing it like that? I've been worried about putting too much pressure on my oh about dtd at the right time but at the same time I know he's impatient too, he was trying to persuade me a year ago!

Johno85 · 27/06/2016 20:22

Hey bobo I'm crossing everything for you Hun! Day 17 just waiting for my solid smiley and ov here. Have basically told DH that we are dtd every day this week. I'm getting impatient and we need to bring our A game. He can sleep next week Wink

BoBo90 · 27/06/2016 19:54

I'm going to test tomorrow but af is also due tomorrow eek! We will see what happens! I just don't know how to feel one second I'm certain af is on the way and the next I'm still clinging on to the faint line and hoping it's a positive Blush I'm just a nutter!

Some one has to get a bfp soon though so come on you tww'ers! Lets see those lines Wink

Maybe it will be you who gets the bfp Cookie Wink you must be in the tww now! How long until testing day?

Sorry to hear about the bfn Bobo! Keep testing though hun, I really did think I saw a little something on one of those tests! Pesky, when I went to the doctors in March I told a little white lie and said I'd been ttc longer than I had. It won't do any harm to slightly exaggerate the truth! Xx

Jjspoon · 27/06/2016 18:13

bobo are you going to keep testing daily?

Jjspoon · 27/06/2016 18:13

pesky it's worth a try but honestly all our cycles seem to be all over the place after stopping the pill so I really do think it can take several months to get back in your own rhythm unfortunately:( fx for you. I have no idea what my cycle is doing at the moment and it's so frustrating. It's crazy how it can be so consuming when it's one of the hardest things to predict and control! Literally as soon as I started trying it's all I can think about!

peskyfeelings · 27/06/2016 14:26

Precisely. Besides...2 and a half months and 6 months are really easy to mix up. I've never been good with numbers anyway. ;)

BoBo90 · 27/06/2016 14:14

Haha you have to be a bit evil to get what you want sometimes 😜
Definitely a bit sneaky to say you've been ttc longer! Do I think you should still say it?? Hell yeh! They don't need to know exact dates 😉

OP posts:
peskyfeelings · 27/06/2016 13:58

That's a good plan BoBo. You are a bit evil...I like it! :)

My GP is a really nice woman actually, so that must be worth a shot. Do you think it would also be really sneaky to say I've been ttc for 6 months? I wouldn't if I was younger, but the age thing is worrying me to death!

BoBo90 · 27/06/2016 13:47

Haha good plan!!
I would go to gp then and really exaggerate how worried you are about it all and about your age and as you are over 35 they might run some tests for you 🙂

OP posts:
peskyfeelings · 27/06/2016 13:27

Sorry to hear that BoBo. Next time though eh? positive thought vibes

That's what I suspect GP will say as well. It's really worrying me though. I can't afford the MOT at all really...I might become a highwayman to scrape it together! :)

BoBo90 · 27/06/2016 12:52

Thanks for the support girls! The line from this morning is now barely visible and I've just done a boots test and its negative. 90% sure it was an evap line which is a bummer! But for one lovely moment this morning I thought I was preggers and that was quite nice while it lasted 😄

Pesky gp might just tell you it's the after effects of the pill but if it would put your mind at ease then book an appointment 🙂 Also if you can afford a fertility mot then go for it!! I've been tempted before 😄

Haha don't worry Purple! If I forget to proof read my posts they always end up with typos!! 😆

OP posts:
peskyfeelings · 27/06/2016 11:04

Here's hoping both our cycles sort themselves out soon Anna! :)

peskyfeelings · 27/06/2016 10:44

Oh and good luck Bobo. Really hope you get your BFP soon!

peskyfeelings · 27/06/2016 10:44

Feeling such period confusion today. Period Confusion would be an excellent name for a band though!

Came off mini pill on 12th April. I'd had no periods while on (three years)

Had a three day bleed on 2nd of May, then a two day bleed on 30th of May. I had another bleed yesterday, but it looks like it's going already, so that's only one day.

I'm really worried that there is something wrong. Should I go to my GP? I'm even thinking of going for a private fertility MOT . I'm 37 and never been pregnant. Time is not on my side. :(

Cookie22 · 27/06/2016 10:04

Ahh Bobo I can defnintely see something on the 2nd FRER! It has colour!! Test again when you get home! Exciting!! Eeeek!!

Positive OPK last night and this morning for me. The dreaded tww (or should I say one week wait going by my luteal phase?!) begins! Xx

Purpleviola14 · 27/06/2016 09:34

I honestly promise I type too fast and that in fact I am not drunk judging by my typos Hmm

Purpleviola14 · 27/06/2016 09:32

Hi Bobo,
Don't mean to get your hopes up but I've seen bfps still come from this sort of this after what people thought was an evap line, fx for you and let us know how it goes, how exciting!

*mishy glad your temps are making more sense, how have they been over last couple of days?
marmite and claire hope you ladies has a fantastic time on your jollys.
Hope everyone else is ok too.

Welcome all the newbies
Xx

BoBo90 · 27/06/2016 09:13

Actually I think it's definitely an evap so will see f it's faded we. I get back from work and wait for af to turn up!
