@Skygirl1983 you read my mind I've just order a 3 pack of CBs on amazon has 2 early detection tests and a digital one in it so I'll wait for those to arrive and take them this week maybe saving the digi til the weekend as don't wanna waste that!

I'm fairly sure AF will show before then but still my mind is stuck on these stupid lines now lol! 2 cases to finish then I break up for Christmas I should be concentrating on that!! Urgh!

It can't hurt to try it lovely! Especially if it will help take the edge off for you both xx

Skygirl1983 · 18/12/2019 14:34

@Blondeandbroody worth buying a digital one? Try it tomorrow? At least you'll see the answer in writing then!!

I know @mellymoo86 uses a moon cup. I'm thinking of next cycle trying the AI thing. You can buy a kit online with everything you need, all sterile etc so it's safe. My hubby is starting marathon training in the new year so i think dtd will take a huge back seat!

I'm not sure how many dpo to be honest but it's cycle day 31 today possibly 14dpo is Ovia is correct. The only thing making me think twice is that they are definitely blue not grey and they are actually clearer in person tried to get a clear picture best I can. One is stronger line than the other too, the newest test is stronger than the one yesterday.

I am by no means thinking it's a BFP though because odds are it isn't!

I've not tried it but I have read about it and saw somebody suggest using a moon cup for similar means? @Skygirl1983

Skygirl1983 · 18/12/2019 14:21

@Blondeandbroody tough one cos its after the time but I do see the line. How many dpo are you? It would drive me mad though if I had the same as you!

A bit of an interesting question for you all, but have any of you tried or know anyone that has tried artificial insemination at home?? I know the pressure of performing can affect sperm production and its something we have spoken about. Just wondering if anyone has tried it or thought of trying?

So don't get excited BUT Ladies help me out. So I did a Sainsbury's test this morning and it was negative, perhaps a very faint shadow no colour to it of a line but it was definitely not a positive result.

I put it in the box with the other one I took yesterday (hiding them til I can throw them out lmao) and when I've come to look at them again both tests have BLUE lines now? One is stronger than the other?

I know, I know it says invalid after the time limit so I'm not getting excited but I've also read where they say that it's invalid because of evap lines and I thought Evaps don't have any colour?!?

First pic is when I did the test this AM and the second is both tests done today and yesterday now?

@mellymoo86 that's funny. The only serious pics I have of my oh are our wedding pics. He always pulls a funny face in other pics.

@Littlepea90 I know what you mean. I have always been interested and am a believer, but definitely wouldn't want to have the gift!!

Littlepea90 · 18/12/2019 12:57

@CiaraJ01 if that isn’t a sign I don’t know what is, that’s so specific as well. Would you go back to the same one?

@mellymoo86 I know what you mean, I’ve seen a few now, but there’s been two that were spot on. One of them was so blunt 😂 she made my friend cry when she told her that her relationship would fail and he’d have a child with someone else and I walked out after she said someone in my family had bowel cancer, turns out she was right. Always wanted to go back to her, but she stopped, said it was very tiring.

I just find it so interesting, but wouldn’t want “the gift” myself.

mellymoo86 · 18/12/2019 12:42

This cracked me up!! I do this to OH! 😂

mellymoo86 · 18/12/2019 12:33

@CiaraJ01 Make sure you take it easy and enjoy date night tonight!! ❤️

@Skygirl1983 Ohh a physic!! I had one encounter about 4 years ago and everything she said wasnt true so after that I didn't do it again lol. You never know though, can never rule things out. Let me know how it goes.

CiaraJ01 · 18/12/2019 11:36

Having a definite pity party for myself today 😂🙈 I'm having our last date night this evening with OH before I fly home so I'll be having a drink regardless and chilling out. No AF as yet although snap @nt1992 running ti the bathroom every 20 mins to check 😂

@littlepea90 and @Skygirl1983 I love a physic!! Not been in years but you've planted the seed now 🤩 My last one predicted I'd find my heart in Australia... where I met my OH 10 years ago, so I'm a definite believer!!

Littlepea90 · 18/12/2019 11:29

@Skygirl1983 yeah definitely, I was more curious than anything else and even if you don’t believe it, it still gives you hope somehow. Yeah you’ll have to let us know what she says 🔮

Skygirl1983 · 18/12/2019 10:50

@Littlepea90 interesting. Will let you know what mine says! I'll take it all with a pinch of salt but still strangely reassuring.

OP posts:
Littlepea90 · 18/12/2019 10:42

@CiaraJ01 how awful, I hope she gets the justice she deserves.

@Skygirl1983 guilty! I also did a same about a week ago 🙈😂 she said I’d conceive within 9 months, but I need to exercise and eat better (true) and that I’d have a healthy boy 🤔

Skygirl1983 · 18/12/2019 10:35

@CiaraJ01 its midday somewhere in the world 😂 that poor lady though. Hope he gets locked up for a long time.

I did something yesterday that I have never done before, I contacted a psychic for a reading! See if what they say is a load of tripe or not! 😂😂

OP posts:
Blondeandbroody · 18/12/2019 10:25

@mellymoo86 Kuku indeed! Want answers :(

@CiaraJ01 you got this lovely you can handle anything that's thrown at you! Hopefully she does show soon if she is gonna! I'd prefer for you that she didn't show haha a little waiting and wondering will be worth it if you get your BFP! X

@nt1992 it's torturous isn't it!!

nt1992 · 18/12/2019 10:17

Keep having on/off mild cramps like AF cramps but nothing is happening when I check I'm double wiping every time to make sure😂 feel like my body is teasing me😠

CiaraJ01 · 18/12/2019 10:10

Thabks ladies. Yep hes up in court tomorrow so let's hope they throw away the key! All I keep wondering is does anyone know where the Santa presents are hidden 😔

@Blondeandbroody fingers crossed for you!! Yes hopefully AF shows today as I dont want to be testing or wondering in Ireland!

Is it too early to want a drink?? On top of all this I've also a full team meeting today where I'm breaking some bad news thatll change all their jobs next year 😒🎈

nt1992 · 18/12/2019 09:39

@mellymoo86 ohh😫 goodness knows, whatever my body is doing I wish it would hurry up & just give me a definite answer. A 2nd definite line or AF.

mellymoo86 · 18/12/2019 09:36

@nt1992 maybe but implanting later don't have good outcomes normally so let's just hope implantation already took place and you body is slowly producing HCG 🤞🏽

@CiaraJ01 Oh no, that's really sad. Their family must be distraught. I hope that person gets sent away for a very long time!! 😡 Argh really infuriates me!

@Blondeandbroody and @nt1992 Keeping everything crossed for both of you. We need more BFPs in this group and I know you must be going kuku not knowing.

Blondeandbroody · 18/12/2019 09:20

@CiaraJ01 so sorry on all fronts!

Hopefully you can enjoy your Christmas and see if AF shows as I don't think you can 100% count yourself out just yet but I'm the same as you test today negative so it's not looking very likely for us. Kind of hoping AF just shows now so I know my cycles are okay to crack on next month.

I did a Sainsbury's test with FMU as I realised I still had one of those and that was negative but another faint as hell shadow line. I don't trust these tests as I got a shadow line on the last one ages ago so if it was something it would be a proper line by now so it's a dud. I did get excited as a line came up when I looked again later but it had been WAAAAAAY past the 10 minutes, like an hour later so I can't take that as it's invalid after the time frame haha

CD 31, should be CD1 for me so let's see what happens this week.

nt1992 · 18/12/2019 09:14

@mrsio here's hoping for something soon

nt1992 · 18/12/2019 09:13

@CiaraJ01 😞❤️

mrsio · 18/12/2019 08:53

@CiaraJ01 I'm so sorry to hear that. Such an awful thing to happen. The poor child as well 😢

@nt1992 so sorry you're going through this. I've got everything crossed for a BFP for you 🤞🤞🤞 but either way I hope you get some clarity soon x

CiaraJ01 · 18/12/2019 08:47

Tested this morning with an FRER... negative. Guessing it's a definite though then.

The lady I mentioned at the weekend who'd been beaten by her ex passed away last night, so between that and the BFN.. and stress of last minute bits before flying tomorrow I'm not feeling very festive today 😔

nt1992 · 18/12/2019 08:46

😴😴
