Fingers crossed for you BoBo!!!

Well after a bit of a melt down on Saturday night and a nice day on Sunday feeling better. Just got to keep trying. Thankfully not a particularly bad AF so feeling fine. Have decided to focus on my fitness and eating rather than stressing esp as I was worried over exercising wouldn't help and now I'm just piling on the pound so even less u happier lol went a nice run today.

Actually going to fertility reflexology session tonight. The lady was recommended by a friend who was trying for ages and now has a little girl. Might help settle my own periods into a better routine and just help me relax about the whole situation. Will let you know how it goes

Thinking positive Star

LuciBee231015 · 29/08/2016 11:01

Just to add to all the confusion! Haha! Well fingers and toes crossed its a bfp for you BoBo! X

BoBo90 · 29/08/2016 10:57

an Opk can pick up hcg so it can give a dark line if your pregnant but I wasn't sure if it builds up to a dark line like it would with an lh surge but after a quick google some women have had a build up and then a bfp so it's possible! Also found out you can have an lh surge just before af so it's another could-be-pg-could-be-af symptom!!

MoonlightMojitos · 29/08/2016 10:55

Naught bobo!!!! Fx for you though 😁

luci not a lh surge but they can some times pick up hcg...

LuciBee231015 · 29/08/2016 10:48

Can you get an lh surge before a bfp then? X

LuciBee231015 · 29/08/2016 10:42

i know I know... Work should keep me occupied this week, got a wedding on Friday night and were staying over. I've got plans for the next few weekends, 1st wedding anniversary in October and a hen do. So plenty to keep me busy... But still hard not to think about it.

That is a dark line BoBo! Let's hope it is a bfp to come!!! 😁

BoBo90 · 29/08/2016 10:31

Luci I know it's frustrating but you could have a long wait yet. You need to book a day out or a weekend away - somethingo focus on and look forward too 😊 You need to distract yourself my lovely!

Soooo I always get white stodgy cm in the tww but I've been getting some stretchy stuff the last two days 🤔 Thought I'd do an Opk to satisfy my poas need to check I'm not gearing up to ov again and got a pretty dark line 😯 Now I'm confused! I don't think I'm ov'ing (no spots, no aches, cm is all white) so trying not to get my hopes up that it's a sign of a bfp to come deep down a part of me is freaking out with excitement but I know it's unlikely!

Hi ladies, well I did a pg test this morning, no idea why... Neg obviously. Silly cow.

I've only been off the pill 4 weeks and this is doing my head in already. Ttc is all I think about I'm constantly googling and reading things... And it's getting on my nerves. I need to calm down and get a hobby. Giving myself the hump today.

I just want af so I can get on with it!! 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

MoonlightMojitos · 29/08/2016 09:26

Thanks ladies, had a lovely night! Oh it's nice to not have to get up for work today! Still lazing in bed 😁. And I didn't feel sick after eating which was good well maybe a bit but pretty sure that was the mammoth portions of pasta and cake

Thursday is creeping closer bobo! Fx for you!

BoBo90 · 28/08/2016 21:51

Haha bless! Must be pretty awkward for him though 😆
I'm so glad it's making you feel better about it all 😊 And I secretly hope you're going to be one of those couples who just start investigations/treatment and fall pg naturally 😊
I'm 7 dpo now! Going to test on Thursday with af due Friday but not feeling hopeful as usual lol!
I'm definitely going to mention the pains again! This time I'm actually seeing my proper dr who has recently had her second baby so I'm hoping she will be sympathetic 😊

Cookie22 · 28/08/2016 21:32

Hope you're enjoying date night Moonlight! It's nice to relax a take a breather after the hecticness of the run up to ov!

Aw Bobo I really hope you go into that appointment telling your gp that you're up'duffed!! How many dpo are you hun? Ha, DH is so not looking forward to his fun in the cup! He's worried he won't be able to get the deed done whilst sitting in a go surgery toilet Grin sorry, tmi!! I feel much better getting tests done chick because at least I feel like I'm doing something positive to try and aid the process! I know it'll take ages for our fertility referrel appointment but at least the ball is rolling (and if it happens naturally before that then even better!!). Have you thought what you're going to say to your gp?? You've been having ov pains haven't you? Definitely mention the pains! I felt like I was being fobbed off & nothing was being done until I mentioned my monthly pain. Really hope this is the cycle for you though Mrs! Xx

BoBo90 · 28/08/2016 20:51

I can join you in the rubbish-at-taking-vitamins club piehunter! I used to take my pregnacare everyday without fail but now i always forget 😣

Really pleased this cycle is going well for you Cookie 😄 Fx for ov in the next couple days lovely!! And hopefully your day 21 bloods go well too 😊 Is it giving you hope having tests or does it worry you? My appointment is on the 6th so I'll either be pg or have af let's face it I'll have af most likely
'Fun in a cup' made me laugh haha!! 😆

I hope you're feeling better soon moonlight and enjoy your date night 🍷🍝

I feel sick every time I eat, I swear to God my body is playing evil tricks on me as I cannot be pregnant. I actually felt like I was going to be sick after dinner last night. Might have to go to drs if it keeps up for much longer as I'm starting to get really worried. Going out for date night tonight so looking forward to some Wine and some relaxed dtd without any pressure of baby making as I've already ovd.

Fx for ov soon claire

Good luck with the tests cookie and let us know how they all go. Fx you catch the egg this month before any further tests needed.

Cookie22 · 28/08/2016 11:33

Hi ladies, aw sorry for bfn Johno and AF Shoney! At least you have loads to distract you Johno. Get pissed and enjoy yourself lovely xx Been missing in action the past week but have honestly been in histerics laughing at all your posts just there with a cuppa in hand! Yous do make me smile!! Who is next to test?? Ooh thank you to all of you for the lovely comments about my gp appointment. Got my day 21 bloods on thurs (actually day 27) and hubby has his 'fun in a cup' (Grin) appointment on Tuesday! Bobo when is your appointment doll? Hope it's not actually needed and your actually preggo'd right now!!

Had to laugh at the scunnered comment. I'm Scottish too so I totally get it!!! I'm feeling well and truly scunnered by this whole ttc business! However, I'm loving this cold turkey month and I can (hand on heart) honestly say that I've not touched an OPK once this cycle! Been dancing loads and I think I'm going to ov either today or tomorrow hopefully (going by CM!). Dont feel as pressured at all this cycle!! Love and baby vibes to you all!! Xxx

Piehunter · 28/08/2016 11:04

johno gutted for you lovely! Glad you have plenty of distraction coming up x

Im cd5 cycle 2 now, maybe too relaxed, been rubbish at taking my vitamins since AF arrived as I know I'm not growing a bean but that's not the point lol!

BoBo90 · 28/08/2016 10:23

Johno - really sorry lovely hugs your body is now in my bad books for windin you up! Have a great weekend with all your friends and try not to think about it xx

Sorry af got you shoney, new
Cycle - new chance! 😊

Yay Claire! Good to hear from you 😊 Fx you ov soon but by dtd every other day at least you know you can't miss it!

OP posts:
sarahhh1984 · 28/08/2016 10:20

Sorry to hear that, Johno. You're not out until AF shows though so there's still time. Fx for you. x

ClaireSunflower · 28/08/2016 09:59

Sorry to hear about the bfn johno and AF shoney hope you're both ok.

I've been absent for a while, mainly trying to take my mind off ttc a bit but have been catching up on the thread now.

I'm still at the very boring stage of waiting to ovulate. Think it's going to be another long cycle. I had quite a lot of ewcm the other day which got me excited but still no positive opk. I can only imagine my body keeps gearing up to ovulate but doesn't quite manage! Oh well. We are still dtd every other day so hoping to catch the egg whenever it appears!

MoonlightMojitos · 28/08/2016 09:54

Aw sorry johno we were all so convinced, everything was looking so good... :( what a shitter. Don't count yourself out yet? Hope you have a nice time and a few drinks anyway.... x

LuciBee231015 · 28/08/2016 08:52

Sorry Johno...😔

It all sounded so promising x

Johno85 · 28/08/2016 06:15

Morning ladies. I wish it was good news but I'm afraid it's not Sadwoke to a marked temp dip and a bfn.

Need to have a little word with the reproductive system me thinks. At least I'll be surrounded by my best friends for the rest of the weekend and can forget about it for a bit.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Fingers crossed for anyone else testing soon X

sarahhh1984 · 27/08/2016 20:29

Fx for you Johno. Grin

Sorry AF got you Shoney.

Xx

Johno85 · 27/08/2016 20:26

Sorry shoney

Wow bobo, the truths all coming out now Wink

I really hope I've not set myself up for a fail and my body isn't teasing me before the red wedding arrives!!!

Arghhhhhhh. Nerves. Never gotten this far before- normally caved and poas then AF has arrived. Eeeeeeeek!

I promise as soon as I've poas I'll post the news.... At least I know if it's a BFN I've got tons of people here to cheer me up. Also if it's a BFP I can give everyone else some hope Smile

LuciBee231015 · 27/08/2016 20:18

Ah sorry shoney 😔
