I’m out ladies. AF got me. Bitch.

dahlia123 · 26/05/2019 09:51

This thread is super fast! Seems like there are lots of good weekend plans - hope everyone has fun!

@FlapJackered Willy fatigue is a thing 😝

@LikeTheFruit fingers crossed the boob soreness is a good sign

Think my luteal phase has got longer - am currently 16dpo and just got a BFN. Awaiting AF, last couple of months my LP has been 11 days so I was feeling a bit hopeful of a BFP even though timing with FW wasn't great.

@ValidUser

Hi lovely! Thanks for thinking of me.
12th July I'm due however induction is looking to be happening due to some complications. I'm royally fed up at 33 weeks, and just want him out safely and healthy!! Xxx

ValidUser · 26/05/2019 09:38

Anyone heard from @Delilah7? She must be due soon!

@LikeTheFruit I love people like your friend. They make me feel less like I'm malfunctioning. 😂

@MrsEG the injections have been totally fine. Don't mind needles and the side effects have been pretty absent. Scan again tomorrow and hopefully can give the trigger shot then.

@Lokicat - morning! I think it’s a good idea to use ICs from tomorrow; apps are just using averages and ovulation is the thing that varies each cycle, so might as well cover your bases!

@LikeTheFruit - lunch sounds lovely! Maybe acquire a new pot whilst you’re out, haha!

LikeTheFruit · 26/05/2019 08:42

Morning all

9dpo here, boobs a wee bit sore but nothing to write home about. Also just discovered that my DH has binned my pee pot - so that's stopped me from testing easily! Need to acquire a new one 😂😂

Going for Sunday lunch later with a friend who's 39 weeks pregnant which will be lovely. She's just about the only person I know who didn't just look at a man and get pregnant 😂😂

LokiCat · 26/05/2019 08:41

Morning ladies! Missed a few days of the thread and been trying to catch up, but it moves up so fast!!

@MrsEG your friends and family sound so lovely, so great you have such an amazing support system around you! Enjoy!!

@FlapJackered 'I don't even want to look at his willy' haha! Bless you. It sounds like you've covered yourself and the ovulation symptoms sound positive!! Hope you find the energy to DTD today!

@ELW85 enjoy Harry Potter studios!!

@Bettythecat I agree with MrsEG I didn't have any symptoms until 12dpo! You're still quite early! Fingers crossed for you

@Dollywilde I went to the hair dressers on Friday! My hair was so long it was ridiculous, too much in this heat. Feels so much better now chopped off. I love the head massages they give whilst conditioning your hair 😍😍 Hope you enjoyed! Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

I'm on CD9 today, been temping last few and placed an order for CB digital OPKs.
Both Glow and FF have put fw from 3rd June but I might start testing with cheapie OPKs from tomorrow 🤔

Went to go see Aladdin last night - film was okay but thoroughly enjoyed singing along to the songs! I love Disney and it made me so happy!! Going to have a shopping session with my mum today and enjoy the weather!
Hope you all have a lovely Sunday xx

ELW85 · 26/05/2019 08:40

@ValidUser - it is sweet, to be fair!

@MrsH497 - that’s a great idea, we certainly shall! How are you? I hope you’re having a nice weekend!

@MrsEG - thanks for being the voice of reason :) I feel better knowing that!
I’m feeling pretty crampy and AF due tomorrow so I think I’m out but it ain’t over til AF, I guess!!

Dollywilde · 26/05/2019 08:24

Morning all! Just forced myself to go for a wee quickly so I wasn’t tempted to sit on my FMU Wink not really any symptoms here at 10/11 dpo but equally no AF symptoms so hey ho! One more day til testing...

MrsEG · 26/05/2019 08:12

@ELW85 Ahh we went to the HP studios a few years ago - it is so much fun!! You’ll have such a fun time!
Yep - if it makes you and @Bettythecat feel any better with two of my BFPs I didn’t even get the telltale sore boobs until 12DPO, so there’s still plenty of time yet!!

MrsH497 · 26/05/2019 08:09

@ELW85 have the best time!! Try butter beer!
@MrsEG that's so lovely! Enjoy!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend x

ELW85 · 26/05/2019 08:04

@MrsEG - how lovely! I hope you have a wonderful time :) we’re currently getting ready to go to Harry Potter studios!!

@Bettythecat - I hear you; I read about symptoms and as my boobs aren’t sore, I’m convinced I’m out this month! We should probably listen to MrsEG though!!

MrsEG · 26/05/2019 07:53

@Bettythecat Absolutely - it has bought out the very best in all of our friends and family and were struggling to know how to thank them! We are thinking of perhaps making a donation to Tommys on everyone’s behalf.

8DPO is so early and every pregnancy is different. Implantation can happen as early as 6DPO but also as late as 12DPO. So don’t torture yourself :)

Bettythecat · 26/05/2019 07:35

Wow @MrsEG that's amazing, they have been so incredibly lovely to you but it's not more than you deserve. They are doing it because they love you. After my mc one thing I did think was lovely is that those that knew were really so kind and it meant such a lot.

Girls help me out today. 8DPO and AF due around Wednesday. Can't help but obsess that I don't have any of the symptoms I had last time. 😫

MrsEG · 26/05/2019 07:23

@ValidUser Oh bless DH, it must be because it’s you that he can’t watch! How have you found the injections?

@FlapJackered ‘I don’t even want to look at his willy today’ 😂😂 Do you have any Preseed? When we were knackered we’d use that and just have a quickie. Messy but gets the job done!!!

Fingers crossed for you @Lola871!

@Dollywilde I love going to the hairdressers! I stopped dying my hair about a year ago and god I miss the long salon sessions ever since! It just isn’t the same when you’re only going for a trim!!

@MrsH497 That’s great to heat, I really found it a huge load off my shoulders when I did. Flowers

Happy Sunday ladies! One of DHs clients has treated us to afternoon tea in a swanky hotel today (with champagne!) So were headed there. I cannot believe how kind our friends and family have been with us this week. Hope everyone has an amazing day!

FlapJackered · 26/05/2019 06:28

Gah temp has gone down now so it looks like more DingTD today. 😩 I'm tired I don't even want to look at his willy today!
I had really strong ovulation type pain yesterday so I am pretty sure I have ovulated but I think to be covered we need to go again today.
It was a really long surge from fri eve to Saturday eve - both positive opks and the worst ovulation pains I have ever had, so hopefully that is a good sign. 🤞🏻

ValidUser · 25/05/2019 22:48

@Lola871 you should totally test.

@Bettythecat no worries - it's always hard to remember who I meant to tag!

OP posts:
Lola871 · 25/05/2019 22:18

@ValidUser it must be because it's you that he can't manage it!

No sign of AF today, now on CD31, with recent cycles of 29-35 days. Might test sometime this weekend, depending on how things feel!

Bettythecat · 25/05/2019 22:02

Sorry @ValidUser @FlapJackered got you mixed up there!! At least you've got some practice with your job so not too awful to inject yourself- I think I'd completely freak out!!

ValidUser · 25/05/2019 21:43

I think it's sweet!

@Bettythecat I think I'm the only one shooting up! Gonal f, cetrotide and hcg.

I ovulate fine, but gynaecologist wants to make sure my only side with a tube gives us a good egg!

OP posts:
ELW85 · 25/05/2019 20:54

@ValidUser - you actually made me laugh out loud with what you said you your husband 😂
You’d think he’d be used to the needles from a personal and professional level.

Absolutely brilliant!!

Bettythecat · 25/05/2019 20:35

@FlapJackered sorry for being nosy but what are you injecting?
