Hi all, thought as it's Bank Holiday and thread 15 was 900 plus I'd start a new one, hope that's OK??

Copying tags from when @starkid updated them all the other day.

Hope this works as I've not created a thread before!!

Ohhh gosh @kittiekath I am so up for that!!! I love festivals without the booze/drugs anyway but obviously a sober one will be a weird experience - you can come crash at my hotel if the air bed is too much for you at that point haha!

Keyboard91 · 26/04/2019 20:54

@Tropicana1 it’s okay, 100% lost the plot here too! I’m obsessed with checking loo roll to see how much discharge is mixed in with the absorbed urine 🙈 DP was in the bedroom when I got undressed to shower and he wanted to cop a feel of the scary erect nipples. I just stood there and eye rolled as he did it 😂

@Dollywilde that is bloody hilarious 😂 Personally I prefer to not look as, ya know, ugly hairy loose skin but whatever floats your boat 😂 #epic!

KittieKath · 26/04/2019 20:52

@mchelenz

Me too! A friend of mine found out the morning of driving to Glasto. It took all of 10minutes for everyone to guess once she got there. She's usually the first to get tipsy!?

Ha ha!!!

@dollywilde I am going Wilderness too! Wahooo!! Lets make a deal that we both get preggers and then we'll meet up stone cold sober and talk about how shit hanging around with drunk/high people is... 🙉

McHelenz · 26/04/2019 20:49

@tropicana1 I do look forward to boob updates hahaha. When is AF coming? Its difficult isn't it, the need to stay positive but not becoming obsessed!!

Dollywilde · 26/04/2019 20:47

@kittiekath actually I’ve done the same - booked for Wilderness festival - but I’ve secretly booked a hotel nearby in case I’m PG by the festival - figure either way is a win - comfy bed and pregnant or camping and drunk! Might be my last festival summer for a while if it happens so why not :-)

McHelenz · 26/04/2019 20:46

@kittiekath I know someone who went to Glasto pregnant! I'd like to take small children to festivals too! Our friend does it all the time!

Tropicana1 · 26/04/2019 20:46

@Dollywilde hahahaha staring at testes 😂😂😂 oh I'm excited for you and @cupcakesandglitter to test tomorrow, and @Hannah192 by the looks of it - busy day!

@Keyboard91 I keep squeezing my boobs and I'm sure they're sore but not sure that it's not because I've squeezed them too much! DH was just saying that he feels like his libido is back up again, and I was sat there squeezing my boobs 😂

As well as the semi sore boobs I have felt on and off very nauseous today. Obviously nothing to do with the ripe aromas of cat poo in work today. Sometimes I wonder if all my symptom spotting is inducing a state of false pregnancy like in bitches, which is making my "symptoms" worse 😂 I have 100% lost the plot over here, send help.

Dollywilde · 26/04/2019 20:45

@kittiekath I know right Grin

KittieKath · 26/04/2019 20:45

@starkid thanks for updating me!

Totally hear you on not putting everything on hold anymore. I also need a life, right? And to do something other than pee on sticks and google every symptom!

I even decided to go to Glastonbury... Give a fuck. I'll just skip trying that month and go back to being me f
or a bit!

@dollywilde actual LOLs on the train... Freudian slip!? 😜

Dollywilde · 26/04/2019 20:44

@hannah192 see you tomorrow morning then Wink

@mchekenz snuggling up with Netflix and Chinese takeaway en route!

Hope everyone has a fab weekend - especially the Avengers fans!

Hannah192 · 26/04/2019 20:38

@Dollywilde yeah I’m due tomorrow so I’m a day early. I also didn’t use fmu which I know you’re suppose to. I think I’ll still test in the morning just to check and then I think that’ll be accurate. That’s a good way of looking at it.
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 For you for tomorrow!

@McHelenz - similar 😂 easter egg from last weekend and binging on catch up tv!

Hope everyone has a fab weekend 🙂

McHelenz · 26/04/2019 20:26

Whats everyone up to? Currently eating reduced price Easter egg and drinking gin...The best distraction I could find!!

MrsR16 · 26/04/2019 19:12

@KittieKath thanks darling 😘 I'm still hovering on here, can't bear to lose touch with you ladies yet! Xx

LikeTheFruit · 26/04/2019 19:09

@Dollywilde 🤣🤣🤣 I feel I spend a lot of time staring intently at testes these days!!

granddesigns · 26/04/2019 18:53

Hi all- I've been reading but not much replying going on this week as I got my head around a new cycle and 2020. Think I have got a bit too reliant on glow and opks and am wondering if they are helping or not... sorry for tmi but have this afternoon had more ewcm than I ever remember - let's just say not a little bit when I wipe! AF arrived last Friday and glow says I am in fw but not due to ovulate till next Tuesday now moved to Wednesday. Started opks yesterday evening and very negative on there. To try and time things better, how long before ovulation do you get most ewcm - I fear dh won't meet demand if I over demand from him but want to hit the best 3 days this month! Thanks!

Dollywilde · 26/04/2019 18:51

staring intently at the testes

😂😂😂 I mean tests...

Staring intently at testes was what I was doing 2 weeks ago ;)!!!

Dollywilde · 26/04/2019 18:50

@hannah192 ah sorry for the BFN. It’s still before you’re due, right? Was reading my Clearblue pack just now and it said 80-something percent chance of accuracy the day before your period and that goes way down if it’s more than 1 day. I always tell myself, if I had X (in this case 20%) chance of dying would I be worried and the answer is always yes so I reckon you’re still well in - fingers Xd Smile

Ahh @cupcakesandglitter I have everything crossed for you, I’m a fan of hope for the best plan for the worst so sounds sensible to me.

Still no AF here and staring intently at the testes but refuse to give in until tomorrow! Had a moment earlier where I felt weirdly lightheaded and got excited until I realised that it’s quite normal on a packed tube train when it’s warm!

McHelenz · 26/04/2019 18:38

@keyboard91 Im the same, I think when I get to the 12 week scan I want to buy some hand dyed wool and make some nice jumpers and cardis x

Keyboard91 · 26/04/2019 18:31

Thank you @McHelenz @starkid @MrsEG @cupcakesandglitter :) keeps my mind busy when I’m feeling sad. It’s cot sized. Will make things personal to the baby as and when we know the sex and it’s feels safer.

@cupcakesandglitter I am crossing everything I possibly can!

Had a weird day. Work was long and exhausting (emotionally and physically). I’m grumpy anyway so ended up shouting at my Yr11 boys who were being plain rude. Then had a very upset Yr11 boy who I consoled and supported until he felt better and then went and cried in the toilet for 10 mins :( some kids have so much on their plate it breaks my heart :(

I’ve felt like I’ve have a skewer in my left breast all day which is mightily uncomfortable. DP woke up this morning and rolled over for a boob squish and shouted ‘they feel different again’ ... he’s so confused! 😂🙈 feeling quite positive about this cycle ... nervously positive. I usually have a feeling .. and I have that feeling ... but wary as I may have the feeling because I know I get it and want it so maybe in my head! CD21, 6-7dpo. Due on Weds so plan to test Tuesday. I made DH hide my box of tests after my CP as if tested for like 5 days with FRER s ... and I know if I could I’d POAS tomorrow! I know it’s pointless for me to test any sooner as it’s pissing money down the drain! Literally!

Hannah192 · 26/04/2019 18:28

Stupidly tested after work and bfn. I’ll still check tomo morning if AF hasn’t arrived over night ☹️

starkid · 26/04/2019 17:10

@KittieKath - hi good to hear from you again :) I've got the stats so will update them for you don't worry. Good to hear you're feeling confident with your new doctor! I'm seeing one next week too so will see how that goes too. Also booked holidays for the summer and winter so got things to look forward to, as I found myself not booking things 'just in case'. Hopefully positive thinking = positive tests! Grin xx

KittieKath · 26/04/2019 16:26

Hello everyone!

I have been very quiet on here recently, so just checking in...

I did see some good news for @mrsr16 - so congratulations to you! Wishing you a h&h pregnancy. :-)

I had a major freak out! I turned 35 and suddenly started to panic about it all... Most of my friends are on baby no. 2, and I worry I have left it too late.

Luckily i went to my new doctor, a female about my age, and she was so understanding and now I am having blood tests to see how bad my PCOS is and what my hormones are like. And my OH is going to spunk in a jar!

I also booked a holiday and am just trying to relax myself a little bit! 😊

Hi @fivebyfive2 - can you please update my stats? I am 35 and on cycle 7 now. Thank you my lovely!

Hope you are all enjoying baby making in this lovely sunshine! ☀️

cupcakesandglitter · 26/04/2019 16:18

Thanks everyone 😂 may/may not have bought more FRERs. Might test tomorrow morning but I'm expecting a BFN so won't be disappointed.. I don't feel pregnant? Did anyone when they got their BFP? I knew something was different but I don't even feel that right now.

@Tropicana1 @Fivebyfive2 same here 😂 I'm good at baking but I am NOT a creative person at all 😂😂😂 x

@MrsEG @Keyboard91 that's such a lovely idea, I've had six CPs/MCs so I'd love to do something to remember them by. The plant is a lovely idea!! X

@FlapJackered glad your temp is up!! Fx for both you and @KatBeCool this month xx

Fivebyfive2 · 26/04/2019 16:05

@Tropicana1, I too am 100% Not Crafty!! I have always been hopeless at arts and crafts! I do bake, but all my stuff looks, ahem, 'Rustic'!! Also, we'll see how much tww sanity I have once I hit around 10dpo...

@cupcakesandglitter, really glad to hear your feeling better xxx

OP posts:
KatBeCool · 26/04/2019 15:54

@FlapJackered so glad your temp went up! I agree, I wouldn't be able to have any more sex either, and DH would probably just hide from me.

@MrsEG ice cream factory... I need that in my life.

@cupcakesandglitter fx for a miracle for you!

@Lottiepink make sure you are not dehydrated, if ewcm is a bit thick, that could be the reason. But I think it's always kind of glob-like, exactly like egg white, rather than thin and liquidy.
