.5 degree drop today but since I started post ovulation I'm not sure how helpful they'll be this cycle.
Going to head to tesco for some soy and vitamin c for next cycle.

No they don't do smear tests when you're pregnant, my sister was due hers and got pregnant before her appointment so she had to wait until after her 12 week post birth check up before she could go

@Aph413 i dunno can u get smears when ur pregnant? i think u can just not really early on, its scarey when anything like that happens but its common ive heard it happen to a few girls i think they had to get it burned away not100% but im sure thats what one of them told me. Its gd that they keep a close eye on it. Cant wait until they come lol sad or what haha

Don't worry I got mine less than 5 days after ordering. It may have been quicker than that.
I'm happy to talk to anyone about issues I've had with smear tests as long as it spreads to word and gets people to go. Luckily mine was only minor changes and a fairly low number of abnormal cells but I've got to go yearly for now. It was 6 monthly for 2 years and then it became yearly. I had 3 smear tests and a colposcopy in less than a year to figure out what was going on at first but it all seems to be normal now so I'll just keep making appointments as soon as they call me.

Can't deny it would be lovely to get my BFP and not be able to go though

@Aph413 yh said 51% off so it was a gd deal only thing is adve been quicker buying them in the shops lol..yh gd uve got to b safe with these things I was wondering why u went annually but didnt want to ask incase u didnt want to talk about it..if i get af im definetely buying the ovusense sounds like a brill idea!

OP posts:
Aph413 · 26/04/2018 14:25

Definitely going for it if af turns up. I had to have a biopsy 2 years ago and I'm on yearly checks now, I'd never avoid it and you'll often find me shouting at my friends to woman up and get it done Grin.
I'm really hopeful for the ovusense because I really am no good at getting up to take my temperature.
Did you get the clearblue on groupon?

@Aph413 oh yh smear test they told me the last time it was fine to get one when ttc but im not convinced id wait until u either get ur bfp this month or after af. I would definetely get one just not during your tww (or longer in our case 😩).

@Aph413 thats great! wish i had money this month to order 1lol, but I ordered my clearblue opks last night 40 for £45 so between that and every person I know sending me a wedding invite AND trying to finish decorating my kitchen im skint lol fx for u sore boobs are a gd sign i know its still very early but sum ppl get symptoms straight away lol

OP posts:
Aph413 · 26/04/2018 07:52

Slept like a log. No problems overnight, insertion and removal were fine and it didn't come out which I was concerned about.
I've started to symptom spot like a mother fucker today. My boobs are killing me, I swear I'm getting the tiniest tugging sensation so I'm obviously convinced it's implantation cramps. I'm only 5dpo I need to calm down Grin
In other news I've received my annual smear test invitation. I've not had a smear without my coil in 8 years I think at this point I wait for my period before booking one right?

Aph413 · 25/04/2018 22:33

Delightful tmi. It's in now since I'm going to sleep soon. So far it feels a little weird but I never like using tampons either, I'll report back in the morning in how it was.

@Aph413 yh a think ill need to hurry up and buy some digitals im doing it tonite fuck it..i meant to ask u the other day if ur ovusense had arrived yet. Thats hilarious haha Have u tried it yet? The big question is if its comfortable tho

OP posts:
Aph413 · 25/04/2018 21:11

Pressed post too soon. I agree with waiting to use digitals, but they are fantastic at removing all doubt.
In other news. My ovusense arrived today! Looks like a giant sperm haha!

Aph413 · 25/04/2018 20:59

Latest I'm due if everything has gone right is 13th May and the testing date I've been given by fertility friend is the 10th May

Thanks @Aph413 im the same keep meaning to order the digital ones but a girl on another thread said to me use the ic just now until im closer to the middle of my cycle then use the digital ones more chance of me ovulating then. Fx im not getting my hopes up for no reason. So when do u think ur due af when will u be testing for bfp😆

OP posts:
Aph413 · 25/04/2018 17:58

Fingers crossed for you! I had enough of doubting the ones where I needed to check the line which is why I got the digitals from groupon this cycle Grin

@Aph413 no wonder it made u angry! Hope that the babys k bloody shame..on a lighter note ive done an opk today and its the strongest line ave had in ages not strong enough to be positive but fx in the next couple of days they get darker

OP posts:
Aph413 · 25/04/2018 13:48

@Aph413 wow some ppl just dont appreciate how lucky they are its sickening how could they do that to a baby! Did they take the baby into custody when it was born?

OP posts:
Aph413 · 25/04/2018 11:03

Ok the bromelain supplements exist and the internet says only ingest 70-80mg a day so if anyone tries it I suggest looking for 40mg tablets which do exist

Aph413 · 25/04/2018 10:56

I've taken the approach of just not caring about other pregnancies. It hurts too much to think about, especially seeing someone I know get pregnant then drink and smome throughout pregnancy and was left wondering why the baby weighes less than 4lbs when born 3 weeks early. Made me very angry.
Can't eat pineapple core, I'm allergic to the fruit. Maybe I'll look for bromelain supplements.

@Aph413 I know I was just under the impression when I was younger if u got af things were working fine suppose they try to scare teenagers but Im honestly amazed anyone gets pregnant from a 1nite stand!😂 Im the same with the ads think its cause we ve been googling pregnancy tests etc but are they trying to rub salt in the wounds..speaking of salt in the wounds found out another family member is pregnant last nite, trying to be happy for them but its bloody hard ttc is turning me into a bitter bitch!

I completely get it thisisouryr it's like a miltary operation. Not sure why they spend so long in school telling you you'll get pregnant at the drop of a hat when it seems the reality for most people is trying damn hard. So ready for a baby now it's unreal, I keep getting adverts for baby stuff and it's depressing.
