@delilah7 enjoy the zoo!
@cupcakes glad you are ok now:-)
@validuser stay strong!!! This isn't gonna help your urge to POAS is it! Hehe gives us all hope!!

Crossfitgirl · 18/08/2018 14:46

Argh @Crystalblaze !!!! Congratulations!!!

I very nearly said, when i saw you got a faint line - sometimes the OPKs pick up HCG - i did read that somewhere... But I read all sorts on the net!

SO happy for you!!!

All these BFPs!! It's making me want to speed up the next week to ovulation, my AF only finished a couple of days ago and I am nowhere near my fertile days yet.

I feel like i have such a long slog ahead as we are only going to be "properly " trying from this month. I want it to happen quickly like you guys!

How many cycles in were you @crystalblaze? I have a feeling it hasn't been long? Xxx

Delilah7 · 18/08/2018 13:50

@FlapJackered thanks darling.

Sorry I'm at London zoo so abit distant.

@CrystalBlaze congratulations my lovely 😍😍😍😍 so happy for you.

@cupcakesandglitter glad things are okay now honey. At London zoo so taking my mind off things abit!

Love to you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️

CrystalBlaze · 18/08/2018 13:20

Thank you so much you lovely lot. Feel a bit calmer now. Also feel bad for telling DP in the most panicked way in the world, thrusting the test under his nose and saying "Oh my god it says pregnant". Thought he was going to faint.

ValidUser · 18/08/2018 13:08

@CrystalBlaze you'll be great!

Chivari · 18/08/2018 13:07

Thankyou @FlapJackered @Crossfitgirl @CrystalBlaze DH and I have made up, he's definitely a moron sometimes 😂 we do have those petty arguments, but we always say things we don't mean to piss the other one off if we aren't getting a reaction (childish I know) but we hadn't argued for a while and have been generally a lot happier coming up to our anniversary.

We are okay now BUT my mood is still super low, I don't know why, and I also have ZERO sex drive whatsoever x

@Delilah7 how are you?
@CrystalBlaze That sounds positive though!! Hopefully you'll get your BFP xx

How's everyone else this morning? Xx

CrystalBlaze · 18/08/2018 09:12

Morning all! Just catching up...sorry some of you had some tough days yesterday. Its an emotional rollercoaster. Fingers crossed for some good news for everyone. Love for @cupcakes and @Delilah7

@Flapjackered like @Crossfitgirl girl said, its too early to make any real difference. I have had a few drinks during this 2ww.

@MrsM I caved and tested twice this week! Both bfn. No sign of AF which was apparently due yesterday. I think I'm going to hold off testing until tomorrow now.

@ValidUser that all sounds promising! When are you planning on testing again?

In other news I tried to satisfy the POAS urge this morning by using an OPK and got a faint line. But can't get my head round whether that in any way means anything.

ValidUser · 18/08/2018 09:08

BFN on FRER!

Tbh at 8 dpo it wasn't exactly likely to be positive.

I'd like to pretend I'll wait until Monday and see if AF comes, but the reality is I'll probably test again in the morning.

I may be obsessive but as the youths would say, that's me doing me. 💃🏻

Crossfitgirl · 18/08/2018 08:16

@validuser cycle 1 would be amazing! I'm sat here awaiting your FRER results! Fingers crossed xxx

@flapjackered I think I will stick with it this cycle, but probably give it up next cycle if it's stressing me out too much. Or i might get a different thermometer as the beeping is awful on this one! It's like an alarm clock! It sounds like a cheap plastic one i used to have before i had a mobile phone to use as an alarm!! Lol. I still feel stressed from it now and i took my temp at 5.50am! Is the natural cycles one quiet or a nice beep? I may invest. Lol.

Also, go and get drunk and enjoy your holiday :-)
I know what you mean about not wanting to drink after ov. I reeeally wanted one last weekend but I was so convinced it was my month, I resisted. Then AF came the next day! My friend also got a BFN, then got wasted, then found out she had actually been pregnant but tested too early! Her baby boy is 3 and fine.
I'm personally on the fence - if I did drink then found out i was pg, I'd worry, however I think we all need a break and to allow ourselves a treat, and if I didn't have one or two, I think conception would never happen! More relaxed, and impaired judgement = more sex = baby!!
In conclusion I think one or two is totally fine.

@cupcakesandglitter we all have stupid petty arguments, I am sure we've argued over "not what you said, the way you said it" type things all the time! I sometimes find that even if I wasn't in the wrong, just saying sorry for upsetting the other person or overreacting etc usually sorts it right out, and I feel better straight away as we are good again. Have you made up yet? Let us know how you go :-) as hard as it is to admit, we need those morons on our side 😂

@mrsr16 well said, here's to a fab weekend for all of us!

FlapJackered · 18/08/2018 07:38

@daisiesandpeonies congratulations on the positive opk!!! 🎉it is such a good feeling when they are positive isn't it?! I ovulated on cd25 this month so we will have similar length cycles probably. Good luck with the Dtding!

@Crossfitgirl I was completely the same when I started temping but after a cycle i found it less stressful. Now I will wake up and test straight away and just go back to sleep. I will def give it up if I am pregnant but I think it is worth it for the info you get.

@Delilah7 Sorry to hear you are in some pain. I would definitely contact the doctor about it.

@cupcakesandglitter Sorry about your argument with DH. It is a difficult time and I think we have all had issues where our DHs have been less than understanding unfortunately! Have you spoken to him. If not I would try and speak to him to get it sorted? For your sanity.

Acht sorry for the bfn @MrsM2017 Although those CBs aren't too sensitive are they so may be a bit early 🤞🏻

I am 4dpo and got horrendously drunk last night so really doubt it is going to happen this month. Going to try and stick to one drink max for the rest of the holiday now! 😕

Seems like there's a few down days today... let's hope for a good day tomorrow ladies! You're all wonderful people who deserve the very best 😘

cupcakesandglitter · 17/08/2018 23:52

Thankyou @ValidUser it's nice to have support on here 💕 xx

ValidUser · 17/08/2018 23:45

@cupcakesandglitter I just read through the last bit properly. STOP BEING SO HARD ON YOURSELF!!!!!

It's a tough time. Try and give yourself a small bit of a break and don't blame yourself 100% for the argument. He argued too.

Sending long-distance hugs your way.

cupcakesandglitter · 17/08/2018 23:37

I feel like AF is coming - but I know it's not iyswim? I feel very full down below if that makes sense? Xx

ValidUser · 17/08/2018 22:35

@Crossfitgirl I feel very pregnant, I think. My boobs are huge. Had minor spotting a few days ago.

I'm also tearful and exhausted - not like my usual PMS.

Confounding factors here are uti and candidiasis and antibiotic.

Will try a FRER in the morning. I have a few. It's not too likely because this is cycle 1, but I'm ever an optimist!

Crossfitgirl · 17/08/2018 22:15

@validuser oh dear! I hope you're ok?? Do you think it's pg related or just unwell? I have heard if your hormone levels are high enough to cause symptoms, they should be high enough to detect on a test... although i dont know! I have also read on a site that dpo does make a difference, and if youre only a few days dpo you may need to test a few days after AF is due! how long til you're due? I would defo test again in a day or two. Xx

Delilah7 · 17/08/2018 20:44

@ValidUser fingers crossed hun xx

ValidUser · 17/08/2018 20:25

Anyone due to test soon?
