I'm soo tired tonight 😴

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 20:12

@CiaraJ01 Now that I think about ITS A LOT!! Maybe next year I should take it easy a little lol. I just like to have something to do/look forward to. My current thing is baby making. It's weird because even though it's stressful to do this every month I've fallen into this routine of doing it. I know once I'm pregnant I'll have a obedience of new stuff to stress about but it would feel equally weird to not do it anymore.

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 19:50

All in one year?! OMG. We've done nothing 😂😂 weve officially started saving for a house, had lots of trips back to Ireland and a few others between us. But that's it! Well done to you guys, that is alot!

Yep home the 28th with a fancy hotel booked in Manchester for the same night. We're hoping 2020 is our year, new house and new baby at the very least!! New niece or nephew in June and a massive family holiday in August as a suprise for our parents. I'll be going even if I am pregnant!! 🤞

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 19:38

@CiaraJ01 Haha good plan with posting them ahead of you getting there. When are you back? Before New Years right? I can carry over all the days I don't use this year so at least I can think about a nice break for me and OH next year. Really want to take him to Sri Lanka but if I get pregnant then that won't happen for a few years. If I don't then I'll consider going next year.

This year has been manic! We refurbed the bathroom, did a lot to the house, OH officially moved in, had drama with his family, got engaged AND married, went on honeymoon, had a MC, and now month 3 of ttc. Definitely didn't think all that would happen this time last year. I was busy drinking 4-5 times a week and moaning about putting on weight lol.

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 19:16

😂😂 sorry @PrettyGirl5545 I thought you meant pregnancy testing not ovulating. I'm not with it today 🙈

@mellymoo86 its ok between us we'll get there 😂 Nails booked for Tuesday evening, flying kn Thursday. Presents are being posted ahead as I cant for a 2 year olds scooter in my carry on 😂😂 I will remember to be more sensible next year!!

I've been pretty lucky getting tome off for Xmas most years. Although I'm jealous you'll be working from home!!

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 19:02

@CiaraJ01 Ohhhh I see what you mean 😂 I meant to say wrapping not packed. Stupid predicted text. My bad! Are you all packed and ready? So jealous! I didn't take any time off work this time as it's pointless. I'm not doing anything plus I work from home. So I'll not work anyways lol. are your holiday nails ready? Hope you have space to take all those pressies.

@PrettyGirl5545 I would say start testing from cycle day 10.

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 18:57

@mellymoo86 sorry! What were you packing?! 😂

@prettygirl5545 I'm currently 10 DPO and will try to wait as close to AF as possible. But I fly the day after I'm roughly due so maybe from DPO 12/13

PrettyGirl5545 · 14/12/2019 18:49

@nt1992 thank youuu!
Wer's @Louu99!
I usually ovulate between CD12 and CD14
I'm CD8 today. From when should i start testing? @Ellsbells112 wer r u?!

nt1992 · 14/12/2019 18:44

@Blondeandbroody 🤞🏼🤞🏼😍

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 17:46

@CiaraJ01 oops forgot to tag you

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 17:46

Haha no worries, no that's @Ellsbells112 I believe. @Ellsbells112 where are youuuu!!??

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 17:40

@mellymoo86 I did confuse you. Sorry you said you were packing and I was actually checking in from the shopping centre so had a mind block and it was you going to Oz 😂.
@Blondeandbroody fingers crossed!! My screens rubbed I cant judge but baby dust 💕

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 16:45

@Blondeandbroody I see a faint line! Yeah test again with FRER and see what it shows. Hopefully you get a darker line in the next few days 🎉🎉

Blondeandbroody · 14/12/2019 16:16

Don't think I've posted this in here, Sainsbury's test (I know) last night. Not sure there's actually anything to see tbh. I see a super vague shadow of a line 🤷🏼‍♀️

Don't worry my hopes aren't up! It's still a bit early due AF on Wednesday.

Used a cheapie this morning and it was blank, so I've ordered FRER (I love amazon) they should come tomorrow and I'll use them Monday or Tuesday and save one for when/if AF is late.

End of November, jump on board pt 3!
mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 15:51

@CiaraJ01 Haha good to hear other men are like this to. Fly? Was that bit for someone else? Yeah definitely get a FRER if you can. It's just not worth the mind games you know. I need to control myself during this period as much as possible so I don't test early.

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 15:41

@mellymoo86 my OH is the exact same! Hes like I'm not going to have tome to get yours before you go away...em you have like one present to get!! Ive wcen bought and wrote all his family Xmas cards! they've no idea...

You must be so excited, when do you fly again?!

I've no FRERs left. Suppose I'll need ti order them you're probably right, I'll only wonder with the cheapies... Sorry ant help on the progesterone kits x

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 15:15

Does anyone know of any good progesterone test kits for home? Doesn't seem like they do strips for that hormone. I found one but it's in the US. 😏

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 15:09

@CiaraJ01 I think if you're going to test use something like a FRER. You don't want to be thinking 'well this is a cheap one, let me use a FRER tomorrow' type thing.

Must be a relief to be done with all the shopping. I'm done and also packed now. OH keeps stressing that his presents for me haven't come yet 😂 he is stressing about me when I've had to buy everything for all our family! Men! This morning he was like oh crap I didn't get you a card? Did you get me one? Oh man! Lol how romantic. Donut head lol.

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 14:50

@nt1992 I think there will always be one or two negative ones. As long as theres an overall high star rating they should be ok.

Lucky you @mellymoo86, Ferrero Roche icecream sounds amazing! I've headed to the shops to pick my very last presents and I'm done 🥳 Yep 10 DPO today, but long left! Still no symptoms bar the insomnia that's gone now so still relaxed. I might yest Monday but only gave the strips similar to @nt1992 ones...

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 14:42

@CiaraJ01 Yeah why not, have a Luke warm bath. I like it really hot so I cant be bothered to have a warm one, I'll probably still feel cold lol. I'm down in Reading, it's not to bad. I got my Ferrero rocher ice cream - DELICIOUS 😍 Now back at home and chilling. Plan to do nothing today. 😁 Arent you like 10DPO today? I'm 3DPO now.

@nt1992 They're the ones I have but hardly used them. I bought a whole load of CB and FRER so I'll use that later on closer to AF.

End of November, jump on board pt 3!
nt1992 · 14/12/2019 12:33

@CiaraJ01 I know that's why I got them but it's not until you look in to the reviews that makes you wonder

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 11:45

Ah they have a good star rating though!

nt1992 · 14/12/2019 11:42

@CiaraJ01 these! So don't buy them😂 yeh I do but I'm just heading out for the day and im trying so hard to hold off been using the little strips but clearly they're no use!

End of November, jump on board pt 3!
CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 11:37

@nt1992 what strips are they? Only one bad and three good, theres always one! Have you one FRER left?

I plan on doing nothing tonight!! My OH is off out on his works do so I've the house to myself. Can I have a warm ish bath?! 😂
I probably drink more than the occasional cup of coffee, it's definitely a vice 🙈

Where in the country are you Melly?! It is absolutely peeing it down here with a bit if hail for extra misery. I was looking at I've cream last night 😂 Let's hope it's a craving 😂😂

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 11:25

@CiaraJ01 Hahaha the extent we go to. I'm contemplating inviting my friend over tonight but then I'll need to sort out some food for her or get takeaway which I don't want to do as I've been eating badly this week, so in conclusion I've answered my own question lol.

Well done on cancelling and relaxing. 😊 I don't drink anything with caffeine but read online the occasional cup of coffee is ok.

I'm still in bed. It's looks lovely outside so we are going to get ice cream. Yes I'm aware it's bloody cold outside 😂

I've definitely felt like this was writing in a diary for a while now. It's a mind dump 😂
