@MrsLBear oh 😂 being in bed at 8pm is the dream!!!! I have guests round every day til Christmas, so I think 1. No chance of a lie in and 2. Very small chance of me and DH DTD any time soon 😂

cupcakesandglitter · 21/12/2018 10:05

Oh and it also turns out what I've got is nothing like the virus DH has had the last few days, so I can't even blame him 😭

MrsLBear · 21/12/2018 10:05

@MrsEG next time I'm gonna make sure the spare bed is operational and he can fill his boots making as many piggy noises as he likes in there. The bags under my eyes today are something else.

Yeah that's wise maybe wait until Sunday or Monday @MrsH497. Nothing more upsetting than seeing that lonely single line. I mean I don't follow my own advice AT ALL but thinking about hormone levels etc that would make most sense. Fx for you lovely!

Haha @cupcakesandglitter how funny. Tbf I gave DH my chesty cough/sneezing fits so I got my payback beforehand. Oh I'm gonna be in bed by 8 tonight no doubt about it.

cupcakesandglitter · 21/12/2018 10:03

Thanks @GemmaJen ❤️

@Delilah7 of course!!!! How are you getting on? X

I was just messaging DH about a dream I had last night (about to start Xmas eve brunch, but then DH ran down and told me my test was positive) and then this notification comes through as I'm telling him. Thanks Flo!!!

Can I still join? 😔

GemmaJen · 21/12/2018 09:44

@KatBeCool we've been putting together the Christmas menu today, Yule log is definitely making an appearance. Though classic chocolate on chocolate. I could eat my bodyweight in chocolate Smile

@cupcakesandglitter urgh flu is the worst, hope you're feeling better soon.

cupcakesandglitter · 21/12/2018 09:13

@KatBeCool ooh Yule logs are fantastic!! I've bought the Asda extra special chocolate one this year - INSANE!! Maybe do Double chocolate?!

@MrsEG @MrsLBear oh god the snoring!!! Drives me insane 😂 I hope you get a good rest tonight!!

I've woken up with the worst cold and flu, I'm feeling so bloody sorry for myself it's unreal. Mentally strangles DH for passing it to me

MrsH497 · 21/12/2018 09:12

@MrsEG thank you lovely I'm keeping everything crossed and trying to remain calm (so that doesn't postpone AF!) x

No way are we onto 10 threads!!

Stat recap:
Age: 30
Cycle: 8/ March
Day: 2dpo

@Charm23 I am so so sorry lovely, not good to see you back here but I hope it is short lived and you get a bfp soon. X

@Crossfitgirl we haven't Dtd again as we are trying to be chilled now, I did Dtd on the day of the temp rise though so 🤞🏻 i have your luck, although fertility friend has marked ov as the day before that so 🤷🏼‍♀️. Also the day before ov there was literally no sperm leakage afterwards (yum!) so I feel like it's not looking likely, especially with the amount of wine I am ingesting at the moment 🍷
Sorry you're all feeling pants, even though I would love to feel pants for that reason - but it does not sound fun! X

MrsH497 · 21/12/2018 08:32

@MrsEG after getting a negative yesterday I don't want to get disheartened again. Do I wait until maybe Sunday/Monday or do it tomorrow morning?!

@KatBeCool You’re making me hungry!! I bloody love a Yule log. Post some pics when it’s done! X

KatBeCool · 21/12/2018 07:52

@MrsEG Yule Log can be any flavor as long as you cover it in chocolate to make it look like a log on the outside. It can easily be a white cake with white filling on the inside. I'm hungry now.

@KatBeCool Nope! We’re having home renovations done right after Christmas so it seemed pointless to do Xmas decorations while all the wallpaper is stripped and we’re living in a building site! Although sometimes I think it would’ve cheered the place up! Good luck with the Yule Log, what flavours are there apart from chocolate??

@MrsH497 Are you tempted to test??

@MrsLBear Oh that sounds so familiar!! DH sleeps on the sofa when he’s had a skin-full, I can’t bear the snoring! I hope he gets you a good Xmas present now!

MrsH497 · 21/12/2018 07:26

@MrsLBear well apps says any day between yesterday and tomorrow so who knows!

KatBeCool · 21/12/2018 07:13

@MrsEG gasp! No tree?!?! Although my mom was like that at times, getting the tree the day before and decorating it until midnight. So I saved up and got myself my own fake tree when I was like 12. It was up well before Christmas and I took all the good decorations 😊

I am so ready for the delicious foods in excessive amounts! Planning on making a Yule Log but I haven't decided on the flavor yet.

So sorry to hear that @Charm23! Amazing that you're keeping positive ❤️ did you speak to your DH about what his mil said?

Fx it's not af coming. When is it due? @MrsH497

Well DH went on his works do last night and after my 3rd 13 hour shift on the trot I picked him up at midnight from the station (serious wife points I was so tired driving I felt drunk) and he was snoring and making all these really irritating noises in his sleep I was awake till 1.30 so moved myself to the sofa cos our spare bed looks like a bombs hit it. Exhausted isn't the word 😴
Jealous of those finishing today! Also have fab work do's if you've got them tonight.

@MrsH497 Same - I finish today at 1! Then Xmas do tonight. I need it - I don’t really feel festive at all yet, we don’t even have a tree up!
Sorry you’re feeling rubbish, I really hope it isn’t AF!

OP posts:
MrsH497 · 21/12/2018 05:56

Morning ladies hope everyone is doing ok. Can't wait for Christmas Eve and to finish work!!

Can't decide if AF is trying to start feel a bit crampy bit sick and just a bit rubbish.

Have a good day Smile

KatBeCool · 21/12/2018 05:31

@Charm23 ohh, so sorry 😞 you're definitely most welcome here. So glad you're moving on right away.

I am so ready for Christmas but I hate the day after.

cupcakesandglitter · 20/12/2018 23:39

@Crossfitgirl how are you getting on?! Still no symptoms? Xx

MrsEG · 20/12/2018 23:17

@Charm23 Absolutely - it makes the whole process much more calming and fun too! I was the same and would get myself all worked up all the time obsessing over dates and charts and symptoms, it was actually my GP after the MC who told me that stress and anxiety are the worst things to have in your life when TTC - I’ve been keeping calm ever since!!
Don’t worry too much if your first cycle is a bit all over the place, that can be the case. But FX everything is all back to normal for you in no time and you get that BFP again :)

Oh gosh, what a horrid thing to do to you at such a vulnerable time too! If you think seeing her again will be upsetting I say avoid - just fake an illness and have a chilled weekend to yourself!

Charm23 · 20/12/2018 23:01

@cupcakesandglitter Thanks hun :)

@MrsEG I'm so sorry to hear that, it's not easy is it? Glad you are feeling wonderful, that's great to hear. I remember my first month TTC back in March - I was going absolutely bonkers thinking about it 24/7 and stressing myself out. This time I'm already more chilled about TTC and have just accepted that it will happen when it happens. Although it is tempting to do what worked last time but that means DTD for 8 days in a row haha! I don't think DH can take that again.

Has everybody got nice plans for Christmas? We're meant to be going to my PILs but last time I saw MIL (last weekend) it didn't end well. She chose one week after our loss to put words in my mouth and make assumptions about me!
