Apparently you're only allowed 6 photos per day! I only posted 2 yesterday so why am I not allowed anymore? 🧐🙄

mellymoo86 · 12/12/2019 17:28

Does anyone else chart BBT here?

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 16:32

@mellymoo86 here's hoping!🤞🏼

mellymoo86 · 12/12/2019 16:31

@nt1992 it should hopefully be darker the next test you take 😄

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 16:15

@CiaraJ01 it's so much easier to see in person 🤦🏽‍♀️ just a waiting game now AGAIN😂

CiaraJ01 · 12/12/2019 16:13

@Skygirl1983 it's just frustration, it's completely normal!! But it will happen, maybe stand close and see if you can steal some hormones lol!

@nt1992 yep I see the tops and bottoms of a line!

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 16:06

@FutureMrsSmith at least it's not just me going mental😂

FutureMrsSmith · 12/12/2019 16:05

@Skygirl1983 it could be you anytime now and then you'll be grateful of a maternity partner in crime!
@nt1992 I can see something on the 2nd picture

mellymoo86 · 12/12/2019 15:59

@Skygirl1983 Congrats to your sister and I know what you mean. Seems like everyone is getting pregnant but you. It'll happen for you soon though 🤗

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 15:57

My 2nd younger sister has just announced her pregnancy. She got married 2 weeks before me so I'm guessing it is a honeymoon baby. Over the moon for her but cant help the pang of sadness. That's 3 people I know of who have honeymoon babies recently.

@mellymoo86 thank you. It's so hard! I try to keep busy to avoid symptom spotting and make the 2ww go faster - but then get stressed by doing too much which is counterproductive! But I'm slowly starting to learn to not fight the tiredness/weakness at the gym - and relax with my food to avoid grouchiness lol.

@nt1992 - CB is worth a shot for your sanity at least (and getting the drug type fix of POAS ha!)

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 12:48

I could maybe get clear blue but I've heard bad things about the blue dye🤦🏽‍♀️

mellymoo86 · 12/12/2019 12:47

@CiaraJ01 I know you like to work out and rush around but during this period make sure you rest. If you are stressed, tired etc your body doesn't prioritise making a baby. It prioritises looking after you and making sure you are well. Once everything goes well and you progress through pregnancy then your body priorities that. I think that's why they say not to drink because of the after affects of it your body goes into the same look after you mode and uses all its energy to do it. Not to mention the chemical imbalance alcohol causes. The body is amazing!

CiaraJ01 · 12/12/2019 12:27

@nt1992 I'm not far behind you then, I'm 8 DPO. We all have temptation don;t worry about it! Plan something nice for tea or distract yourself making plans for the weekend and tomorrow will come quick enough!

@mellymoo86 you're like our inhouse pre-midwife guru lol! That's exactly how I've been feeling. And I do think in the few days before AF I'm always worn out but never slow down with the weight training and work - till I'm properly fed up! Thats the reason for the calorific coffee this morning, I start work late and take 20 mins out to have a posh drink in the shop rather than always rushing round like a headless chicken.

So we all know we should wait till AF is due or late o test - but whats the average people wait before they test early??

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 12:01

@mellymoo86 I know 🤦🏽‍♀️ don't know why I took the 2 frer yday so stupid😞

mellymoo86 · 12/12/2019 11:53

@nt1992 yeah and they are as sensitive so won't show anything until probably 14-15dpo

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 11:47

@mellymoo86 I have lots of strips but they are rubbish they takes ages to dry😞

mellymoo86 · 12/12/2019 11:35

@nt1992 Maybe try a cheap one in the mean time but then a negative might make you more anxious. There's no winning with this ttc business.

@CiaraJ01 that drink looks yummy 😍 glad to hear you got a better sleep. Progesterone is great and essential but it also makes us feel shite. I was reading online that the way progesterone makes us feel is similar to the aftermath of drinking to much. In regards to not being able to sleep well, being happy and then sad, appetite either being high or low. It's tough being a woman!!

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 11:12

@CiaraJ01 I'm 11 DPO today 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ it's going to be a long wait today & tomorrow at work waiting to go home & use FRER😫😂

CiaraJ01 · 12/12/2019 10:33

😣😣😣😣 ohhh!! What about a clear blue?? (I'm very uneducated on which are best sorry!! 😂😂) How many DPO are you now? I've asked a million times but I cant even remember my own I have to keep checking in the app!

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 10:11

@CiaraJ01 we only have an Asda and they don't sell FRER😭

CiaraJ01 · 12/12/2019 10:08

@Blondeandbroody I know the feeling of temptation! Between the insomnia and nausea I'm starting to symptom spot 😂😂

But I've only got cheapies at home so I know theres no point! I love hotel beds 😍

@nt1992 I could not wait 😂😂 I'd be seriously tempted to nip to a shop at lunchtime! 😂
