@KatBeCool I didn't get a positive OPK til cd17 this month and my temp went up next day, so hopefully Ov isn't far off for you xx

EltzBee · 23/12/2018 16:18

@MrsEG I've picked up a FRER and a Clear Blue Digital, going to do the FRER tomorrow morning. I heard someone say the CB digital are less sensitive so might wait a few days for that?

KatBeCool · 23/12/2018 15:53

@EltzBee congratulations! Best Christmas present.

@DayDreamer1707 let me join you in the confused body club. CD14 for me, normally I'd get at least a positive OPK by now if not ovulate. So I poas yesterday, it looked like I might be close to ovulating, I poas this morning, only 7 hours after the last one, and it's very faint. There's no way I missed the surge as it usually lasts for at least a full day for me. So now I'm unsure what's happening. Temp is low, Ewcm was there. Last thing I need is not to ovulate, or ovulate late and have a long irregular cycle.

MrsEG · 23/12/2018 15:01

@EltzBee I know I shouldn’t encourage multiple test taking, but you could definitely do your FRER today! I know loads of people who did there’s in the work loos or at home after work...! I’m so excited for you. What a great Christmas present!

@DayDreamer1707 Hello lovely! I agree, if you wanna change jobs then just do it. I quit my last job with nowhere else to go, but I was just so stressed and it had to be done. I work for an incredible company now with a real focus on flexible working / work-life balance. Scariest but best thing I ever did!

I can’t decide whether I feel like AF is coming. Some very mild cramps coming on and off today. Not due til Xmas day so will just see what happens I guess!

@DayDreamer1707 thankd! Glad you're more laid back this cycle too. You ovulated super early!

cupcakesandglitter · 23/12/2018 14:17

@DayDreamer1707 glad to hear you and DH are both doing better, maybe apply for a new job within the same company so you still get mat pay etc? I had a BFN on a FRER this morning, I can tell I'm out already so I'm having a boozy brunch tomorrow instead 😁 x

DayDreamer1707 · 23/12/2018 13:57

@EltzBee wooow!!! Our first BFP for Christmas!!!!

Sorry I've been quiet lately. This cycle has been a little all over the place. Being off work has been a big distraction for me and helped me not obsess. Kinda liking this laid back approach. It's even helped me realise I want to get a new job because I'm extremely fed up there which doesn't help, probably not the best time but when is and never know what might happen. OH is ok too, just ligament damage but he's walking fine now. Currently CD14 and 8DPO not had anymore positive OPKs x

What's been happening...anyone feeling like this is there time, Christmas's BFP?? Anyone hopefully for a new year BFP too??

cupcakesandglitter · 23/12/2018 12:35

@EltzBee 😁 I'm sure it will be a sticky one, so super happy for you xxx

KittieKath · 23/12/2018 12:30

@eltzbee So pleased for you... wishing you a healthy and happy 9-months.

@mrslbear we move house on the 27th, so have so much to do! And OH is still sleeping. Might bring the Hoover in to the bedroom to wake him up. Grrrrr!!

I am 6dpo too. Still trying to hold out until NYE to test, then at least can go get very very drunk if I get a BFN. You still planning on testing NYE?

EltzBee · 23/12/2018 11:57

Thanks everyone. Keeping my fingers crossed it's a sticky bean!

@cupcakesandglitter you were right! I took my temp this morning and literally went oh my god and thought of you Grin went to the loo and did a cheapo test and could see a faint line so did the Boots one which was even clearer.

So shocked and no idea what to do now apart from get another test for tomorrow morning and keep everything crossed he sticks!

starkid · 23/12/2018 11:49

@EltzBee definitely see something!! Fx with the next one, how exciting Grin

Delilah7 · 23/12/2018 11:49

@EltzBee congrats hun!!! Xxx

cupcakesandglitter · 23/12/2018 11:22

@MrsLBear if they do, it's kind of clever because it works 😂 I'm too impatient to let him do it at his speed!! Sorry to hear about your DH, do you think he's stressing over it? X

Omg @EltzBee I told you, I knew it!!!! Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️

stormtrooperjulian · 23/12/2018 11:19

@EltzBee aahhhhh BFP! So exciting 🤩

MrsLBear · 23/12/2018 10:56

Omg @EltzBee congratulations!! That's 100% a BFP 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Keyboard91 · 23/12/2018 10:53

@EltzBee oh how exciting!!!! Keeping everything crossed that it will repeat a BFP on a FRER!!!!

EltzBee · 23/12/2018 10:45

Fingers crossed! So excited. Was genuinely not expecting it this month. Will get a digital one to do in a few days of all seems ok still....so nervous now!

MrsEG · 23/12/2018 10:38

@EltzBee Yay!! I think congratulations are already in order lady! I can see that line without even having to open the photo!

MrsH497 · 23/12/2018 10:37

@EltzBee I see something!! So exciting!
How is everyone this morning? Still no sign of AF for me. Only today and tomorrow of work left! X

EltzBee · 23/12/2018 10:30

Now it has dried the Boots one is much clearer. Will be braving the Xmas crowds to get a FRER to do tomorrow morning!! Eeeek!

TTC FIRST BABY - THREAD 10!
MrsLBear · 23/12/2018 10:26

@MrsEG @EltzBee me too!!!!! Fx for some more BFP!!!!! The anticipation for all of you is killing me. I'm wishing away the Xmas period as I know a few are due around Xmas day too!

MrsLBear · 23/12/2018 10:25

@Shellybellytots that's impressive 👏🏻 that he kept going. Men are normally wimps when it comes to that kind of thing. Also sounds like you couldn't have done much more. Fx for you! That sounds dreamy!!! Nice and relaxing. Have a lovely time!!

MrsLBear · 23/12/2018 10:22

@Babytrain89 I know exactly what you mean. DH is like oh it'll happen. We only just started - erm no hun it's been 6 months but ok. Drives me insane. But now his completely silence around the topic is even worse. My hormones aren't helping either. Post O I always get a bit more irritated (fabulous) so that is NOT helping right now. I'm only 6 DPO as well 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
My friend was the same 😂 if she missed one pill or was sick she would ban sex without a condom for a week and now she's on cycle 2 and her husband is like what the hell you made me think it will happen straight away.

Shellybellytots · 23/12/2018 10:21

@MrsLBear I didn't look at the app properly and we were actively ttc 5 days before smiley face and then I told OH I got it wrong have to keep at it for 2 more days!! Hahaha he said his man was too sore!! But we carried on inspite!! We are going to this luxury farm barn which will be nice.

@babytrain89 I only recently switch from commercial private sector to teaching I put gone up 2 dress sizes! Always comfort eating! Eyes on the prize now got to get in shape!

MrsEG · 23/12/2018 10:18

@MrsLBear For me with CB, I DTD in the days leading up when it starts to flash, and then always on the day of static smiley. Sperm live 3-5 days up there, so that usually covers it! I know some people who also DTD the day after too for good luck :)

@shellybellytots I’ve been easing myself back in to the gym this week - I stupidly used to think I should rest in the 2WW but all advice contradicts this and I need those damn endorphins!!

What’s everyone up to today? We are out for DH birthday; we have lunch and dinner reservations, an escape room booked and we’re staying over in a lovely hotel. It’s exactly what I need at the mo!! Hope everyone has a great day (especially you @EltzBee - FRER, FRER, FRER!!)
