End of November, jump on board pt 3!

@CiaraJ01 I was following Olivia Bowen but she pissed me off so I unfollowed her. She actually messaged me back arguing with me and then took it off. Wish I took a screenshot and sold it to a paper 😂

@mellymoo86 I'm still stalking Alex Bowen!!! (theres no drool emoji here...)

@PandaPink exactly what melly said!

@CiaraJ01 oh god, sounds dramatic! Haha I've watched all the love islands, felt like my brain cells were dying in the process but I can't help myself!

@PandaPink I know how you feel, I went through this in the first month and had a break down to my OH. He was like wtf is happening because he had no idea. After that breakdown I think I had a bit of a reality check. I can only do what's within my control, and the rest I need to just let life take its course. Men think of situations in a different way to us. We attach a lot of emotion behind issues and they don't, they just want to be able to fix it. Neither one of you can do much right now so he feels helpless hence why he throws himself into things he can fix and you just want a hug. Just try to do something to keep your mind of it for now and when you both are relaxed have a chat about it and tell him how you feel. Then crush it and move forward together 🤗

@mellymoo86 it then turned out it wasn't her son, it was her bother and he wanted to come home and her parents were happy for him too - but she thought he was a burden! Everyone was bluntly saying to just mind her own business! Better than an episode of love island lol.

Ah i think once quite a few of us get BFPs we'll move onto a pregnancy thread together

@Nalapuppy i think this thread was invented to make sure we don't go crazy symptom spotting lol! Its hard but we all do it x

@CiaraJ01 another week or so for the renovation.

Thanks ladies.
I understand he wants to think about other things but it makes me feel like he doesn't care (which I know he does) but his way of dealing with it is not thinking about it. But I basically said I can't stop thinking about it because it's my body. Every mood swing, every cramp,everything!
Uh we'll see if I get passed the weekend with no af then I'm definitely going to phone for booking in and early scan. Tests lines are appearing quicker and drying so dark now.

@Nalapuppy no worries xxx yeah symptom spotting is hard not to do. Keep your spirits high, you still have time 🤗

@mellymoo86 fingers crossed but I'll try not to get my hopes up, thanks for the reply xxx

@CiaraJ01 what! Why would someone start a thread about that lol. Random! And we are a nice bunch.🥰 I sometimes think in a few months we might not exist in each other lives!

We're so nice on this thread lol - have any of you looked on the others?? I randomly looked at AIBU posts (lots of new abbreviations!!) ad someone asked if they're being unreasonable to not want their son home from Oz for Xmas as he only left a week ago and was a waste of money - though they could afford it.
Everyone's being so blunt in their responses!

@sh84 i know its so hard to decide if you want to know or don't!

Thats rubbish about your OH work! My friend had to text her OH when he was 100+ miles away saying you need to be home tonight to dtd I've peaked!! They were already under the GP so were at the more serious stage - and it must have worked cause she's now 16 weeks pregnant!

@PandaPink aww hugs...@CiaraJ01 is right..just vent here and have a chat with us, it does really help. Our other halves also feel stressed but they express it in a different. My hubbie mentally keeps a lot in (when I've told him not to) and I talk A LOT lol but I appreciate he isn't the same and will express and open up when he wants to. Til then I show him I'm here for him and give him lots of cuddles, especially random ones.

@Skygirl1983 missed your post above. Fingers crossed you get some answers!

@CiaraJ01 I wouldn’t test while your away, although if you got a positive sat night you might just catch it. I’m in the same boat if OH is away over fertile window do I bother testing as it’ll just wind me up if I get a positive & he’s away. His work are dragging their heels on telling him when he’s meant to going & meant to be back. I want to shout at them- make up your minds, I’m ttc here & I can’t schedule DTD if I don’t know where in the world OH is going to be 😂

@MrsC89 thanks lovely 😊

@Pandapink it does all get a it much sometimes, I think most of us have a few random tears along the way so don't worry about it! Best thing about this forum is being able to rant knowing the rest of us think the same anyway!

I think we're realising men do get just as stressed so you're probably ight he just wants to bury his head in the sand - the redecorating should be a good distraction though! How much longer is the room renovation?

@Skygirl1983 that's good you did a consultation. Hope you get a test done pronto.

@Nalapuppy could be early implantation or heading towards that you never know 😊

@CiaraJ01yeah probably best not to worry about doing tests whilst you're on holiday. Whether it's positive or not it doesn't make any difference and like you said will only irritate you whilst you're trying to have a good time. Dtd before and when you're back and it'll be ok 🤗

Good afternoon ladies (nails are lovely)

Uh my emotions are all over the shop today. I cried lastnigt, cried this morning. Was on the verge of tears this afternoon and have been grumpy all day.

Basically DP does not want to talk about the pregnancy right now because we are in the middle of a bedroom renovation and along with work it is consuming us. To be honest I think he's terrified of seeing me crushed again if we get bad news. So I think he wants to focus on something else. I haven't even missed my period yet! Due tomorrow. 14/15dpo

I've been so stressed at work too (also in a gp practice) .
I feel like I want to talk about it but don't want to tell anybody yet at the same time. Sorry I'm having a rant. I feel so grumpy today.

@nt1992 I hope the sperm are waiting in your fallopians and ready to pounce!

@Skygirl1983 there is still hope!

@CiaraJ01 and @mellymoo86 both your nails look great!

@mellymoo86 your nails are fab!!!

I know I'm the same - when someone says they have a cold I think - you have a stuffy nose get over it - and then when I have it, i'm like OMG this is awful!!! lol.

I'm hoping to be trying this month depending on ovulation. I fly early Friday and back late Sunday - with predicted window starting Saturday. So will DTD before I fly, and the night I'm back so only miss Saturday. I'm just debating whether to test with OPKs while I'm away (no one knows we're trying, and it'll only annoy me if I peak on like Fri night/early Sat knowing there's nothing I can do)

What about you?

@mellymoo86 I ovulated cycle day 14 with a positive opk I'm now on cycle day 21

@CiaraJ01 btw are you trying this month (Dec) When is Amsterdam? When are you going to dtd

@Skygirl1983 any updates?

@Nalapuppy where are you in your cycle? Have you already ovulated?

So all day I've been having pains down my right side, which is the side I believe I ovulated on, any ideas? Trying not to worry, also trying not to think it is a good thing, ahh ttc is hard work

@CiaraJ01 you're forgiven, they're very nice ❤️ and I'm the same to be fair in regards to sympathy. I expect sympathy towards me though 😂 these were my nails a few months ago
