@rather I can't believe people still make those kinds of comments in 2019! Thankfully people don't really talk to me about children at all, apart from my really close friends. You never know what someone's story is. My best friend here in Dubai has gone through early menopause and she is 38 and can't have children. It's terrible for her amd shes recenttly put on some weight and people ask all the time if she is pregnant. I've had my miscarriages. You just never know and that why I never comment or ask anyone. Shocking stuff. Gets me really wound up when I hear of people making comments like that.

Hi all,
Just checking in. Feel really depressed this weekend and struggling a bit. Not sure why really, just the weight of the world and the future sitting on me. I have been really snappy which I'm not often too.
@rather the horse thing sounds awful. I hope yours are OK.
@frazzle I think Monday is more likely and I think you've got a good shock with the timing.
McDonalds sounds great!

ratherbeshowjumping · 08/02/2019 12:51

@Twittle it's rubbish isn't. We've been married for 8 months now and we keep getting those "oh, when are you going to start trying for a family" comments and you have to awkwardly tittle your way out of it. So cringe.

@Rose me too!

Rose68 · 08/02/2019 12:14

@Ratherbe I wish having you as friend on MN had the same effect 😁

TwittleBee · 08/02/2019 11:31

yeah those stats are so surprising! No one in my bloomin family has had difficulty with baby making (which then made for awkward conversations about why it was taking us so long!)

ratherbeshowjumping · 08/02/2019 11:29

Completely agree 😩 I honestly reckon that having me as friend on FB or IG must double your chances of falling pregnant because every single person I know is popping them out at the minute... bar me 🙋🏽‍♀️😂

Frazzlerock · 08/02/2019 11:22

@rather the percentages are so low aren't they Sad
It's a wonder anyone gets pregnant! But they seem to so easily, especially if you are a real life friend of mine Angry

There is a post on my local town FB page praising the local hospital's maternity dept. One woman said "I had all 5 of mine there blah blah... "
Fuck off Angry

I think you ovulated on Monday too Frazzle, and BDing looks perfect timing! It does only take only little swimmer!

Tigsy that chart is really helpful, thank you. Interesting that 3 days before is only 14% but 4 days before is 16% 🤔 the percentages all look so low don't they, bloody hell 🙈

Twittle, it's a new strain of flu that most horses aren't vaccinated against so it's spreading like wildfire. Also, anti-vaxxers aren't just restricted to kids. So many irresponsible people don't vaccinate their horses 😡

tigsyboo · 08/02/2019 10:57

Oh god frazzle I hate it!
I gag every time I drink it!! 😂

Frazzlerock · 08/02/2019 10:51

Oh I luuuurve pink grapefruit juice. I try not to drink juice because of the sugars (PCOS bollocks again taking over my fun life) any excuse to drink it though. I will give it a go next cycle for sure!

@Twittle YES! That is exactly what I have my mind set on. The big one though Grin. I may treat myself this weekend to lots of shit seeing as I have now ovulated so can stick two fingers up to PCOS for a little while. I was also eyeing up the big bags of Revels on special offer in Sainos yesterday. Yummm.....

tigsyboo · 08/02/2019 10:47

Frazzle I've started drinking pure pink grapefruit juice with bits... its supposed to be good for CM as I swear nothing even resembling egg white has ever come out of my fanny... anyway... I can't say it looks eggy... but I was certainly more wet down there I thought!
You drink it from AF to ovulation (250-350ml a day)
It has to be the fresh stuff NOT from concentrate. It's about £1.50 for a litre from the chiller in Asda x

TwittleBee · 08/02/2019 10:35

That you used Pre Seed I think is a massive bonus Frazzle ! Oh and I can certainly recommend that Big Mac with Bacon haha

Frazzlerock · 08/02/2019 10:34

Thank you all, I just feel more negative about this one than any of my cycles. Just pissed me off so much that I waited so long for ovulation and then didn't even BD throughout my fertile window, apart from day before, which I know you all say is good. I just can't see his sperm hanging around even 5 mins let alone a whole 24 hours. Nothing personal to him, I just don't have faith. Mainly in my body having the right environment given I never have proper EWCM and I only got proper sticky CM throughout my fertile window this time - though I did use preseed that day before.

I guess I won't know for sure until AF arrives. I am almost thinking I should stop temping now ov has been predicted and wait for AF to arrive. I think I will stress about the temps being too high or too low each day!

Anyway, thank you for your input, it has given me slight hope but I am trying not to be hopeful at the same time.

@Twittle Sorry you were feeling so fraught yesterday, but now I want a MacDonalds! Wink

@Kinsters Why do these things always happen over ov eh? That would really upset me Sad Go with him!

Kinsters · 08/02/2019 10:12

Frazzle even if it is Tuesday (and I've found FF less accurate lately) you're definitely not out yet. If it was Tuesday you'd have dtd twice on O-2 which is supposedly the most fertile day. More is always better but you're definitely not out!

tigsyboo · 08/02/2019 10:10

Frazzle why would you be out is either are right... you are fertile for a good while pre-Ov .... see pic xx

TwittleBee · 08/02/2019 10:10

*11 day LP but I know it is 12 (jeez cant even recall my LP length now! idiot )

TwittleBee · 08/02/2019 10:09

I would say Monday Frazzle - I always have a dip on my Ov day similar to your lil dip on the Monday and FF is odd in that sometimes they will recognise that and class that as Ov day and a few times they have put it as the next day instead (I and so then I have only a 9 day LP according to FF but I know it is 10). Plus with Temp rising post Ov, like you can see on Tuesday, it surely means you Ovd on Monday and FF is just being awkward because of the coverline being so high?

Kin I so would have done something similar too!

Rather oh of course! Heard that in the news this morning! Why is it so serious btw?

Rose68 · 08/02/2019 10:08

@Frazzle I think you ovulated on Monday, positive thinking 😘

Frazzlerock · 08/02/2019 10:05

Right, trying again to upload pics...

Chart experts (@TwittleBee ) I need you!

So Ovusense has kept my ovulation for Monday (1st pic) We BD'd the day before (twice) so I know you all say that is good, but for some reason I don't think it's enough but that's probs just my pessimism.

Bloody FF has changed my ov day to Tuesday the buggers 😓 (pic 2). So if that is correct then I'm deffo out 😢

Which one do you think is right based on my temps?
I can handle the truth...

Timing looks spot on Tigsy. Hopefully you do get a BFP this month - what a fab month it would be for you (plus a massive two fingers to twatty ex-wife).

Oh Twittle what a rubbish day. Hopefully you have a better one today. Are you still struggling with sickness? Probably not helping things at all x

All of our plans for the weekend have been cancelled due to the equine flu outbreak so we are going to do absolutely nothing all weekend. I am so excited. Literally sat here counting down the hours....

Kinsters · 08/02/2019 08:48

The work thing is super annoying Twittle - I even looked up whether you can freeze sperm at home, apparently not!

I hope today is less emotional and manic for you.

TwittleBee · 08/02/2019 08:42

morning all, absent yesterday as had pretty emotional and manic day sorting out car claiming stuff (ended up crying on a random man's shoulder in middle of Mcdonalds about everything! Poor guy!)

Not sure how worried I am about the MN issue, I suppose I should be worried that a technical glitch was missed and able to do all that though.

Good news about DP's job Frazzle and glad it means he has perked up in mood!

Bloomin annoying about DH being away potentially this cycle and next cycle when it matters Kin ! urgh! frustrated for you

Betty that actually looks like my temp rise that got me this bean so not sure it is a bad thing at all to have a slow and steady rise like that!

tigsy yeah does look like a classic chart of disturbed sleep! Would be lovely if you guys (well if everyone tbh) got a BFP after the whole court issues!

oh so frustrating with the pic upload limit sometimes Frazzle especially for us on these TTC I feel!

Kinsters · 08/02/2019 08:38

Timing looks great Tigsy!

That's interesting Frazzle, conception is so scientific! I wish at home ultrasound machines were a thing so we could look at our ovaries.

God I'm bored today. These past two days are like the Chinese equivalent of 27th and 28th December, most people off work, so I've sat and twiddled my thumbs for two days. Only an hour till a can turn my laptop off though and we're flying hooome this evening and going skiing on Monday!

Frazzlerock · 08/02/2019 08:30

I had this last cycle @Betty. I didn't think too much of it though as none of my cycles are the same

I found this which might help:
www.avawomen.com/avaworld/slow-bbt-rise-why-it-happens-what-it-means/

I've just written a post with my charts, as need some clarity, but I can't upload my pics until about 10am when I'm out of my 24 hour photo uploading curfew so it will have to wait!

OP posts:
tigsyboo · 08/02/2019 08:24

Morning all
I don't think the rise looks bad Betty - surely a steady rise is a good thing??

I think I Od yesterday.... 2nd peak on cbfm and the OPK was much lighter than day before. Back to high today and negative OPK.
Temps don't really show much as been all over the place sleep wise this week - infact they would suggest I ovd on day 12 but no LH surge until day 14 so think it's a flukey temp like the one I discounted where I woke up on the sun apparently 🤪

Think even after everything this week dtd wise was ok timed tho. Didn't take the pre-seed to the hotel as thought there was no chance on 3-5th tho which is now irritating!! Used plenty the last couple of days tho. Going to pounce again later after work just in case.....
