@VP91x @HE88

Honestly I was feeling positive and trying to see the bigger picture then I fell down the bloody stairs and burst into tears and couldn't stop 🙈🙈🙈 I'm blaming the shock but definitely a bit of sadness too.

But back to being positive and working moms is great, if anyone hasn't seen it and wants some light relief please indulge.

Also I love the name Bella, my fave girls name we have picked out has Isabella as a middle name 🥰🥰🥰

HE88 · 14/05/2020 18:56

Ah ok @SmileyT I love how positive you are being about it all 😁 enjoy your g&t and watching Netflix. Xx

VP91x · 14/05/2020 18:31

@SmileyT I love your attitude towards all of it and you're completely right. Our bodies would be trying just as much as we want them too! They aren't against us.

My partner said to me today "life happens" we didnt need you to conceive Bella (our daughter) or with our second. You don't need to convince yourself that you can get PG again because it will happen.

So I feel positive again now. Thank you ❤️

On a separate note I have been meaning to watch Working Moms!!

Xx

@VP91x yep I reckon I'll come on Saturday night/ Sunday.

@HE88 No I didn't have any FRERs just used the femometer hcg tests that came with my lh test but I'm 12dpo (and pretty certain with ovulation) so I'm taking that as my answer 😊

@TinaTurtle ahh thanks I actually read how our bodies are and it actually made me feel better that my body is trying even if my head is out for a couple days.

Sending you all baby dust, G&T and working moms on Netflix for me ❤️

TinaTurtle · 14/05/2020 18:20

Hi @SmileyT, thank you for sharing a great perspective on things. Your point about our bodies preparing even if our minds are more negative is fab. And if/when I get my BFN I am going to channel your attitude! I'm sure that sort of positivity will help you get your dream come true. I absolutely certainly hope so.

HE88 · 14/05/2020 18:18

Oh no @SmileyT sorry you got a bfn was it a Frer you used? Xx

VP91x · 14/05/2020 18:17

Ah @SmileyT I am sorry that you had a BFN 😔
AF is due in the next couple of days isnt it? Xx

SmileyT · 14/05/2020 18:11

@2020wish you can definitely get twinges that early on, although our minds may not always be optimistic our bodies are so they are preparing for that fertilised egg right up to our period pretty much, they only give up in the last few days if there is not implantation 😊

@VP91x @Mommybear05 well at 31 years old I've got my first ever BFN out of the way and actually wasn't half as depressing as I'd hyped it to be 😂 G&T in hand and onto the next cycle xx

HE88 · 14/05/2020 17:25

@Sallyjo27 uti symptoms seem ok today only started the antibiotics yesterday and will finish them on Saturday. I plan to test when af is late but I'm getting a bit ancy and what to test now ha ha. When I fell pregnant I had my positive by now as I tested early but I had a strong feeling that I was pregnant.
When do you plan on testing? Xx

Bellabubble · 14/05/2020 17:25

@2020wish I have been feeling twinges 4dpo - but I also got twinges last cycle and AF got me :(

Sallyjo27 · 14/05/2020 17:15

@he88 aw no! Sorry to hear that, it could be from antibiotics especially if they are strong. How are you UTI symptoms now? Have the antibiotics helped at all? When will you test? Got everything crossed for you! Xx

@vp91x I hope so was going to DTD again today but had a crap nights sleep and just haven’t got the energy 😂 I hope they go quickly xx

VP91x · 14/05/2020 16:51

@Kangaroo77 yeah, I think sometimes you really just know! Both pregnancies I have known before testing. That's Ok it will turn up (I hope).

@2020wish some people are more sensitive! I've seen lots of posts where people have known early on xx

@Sallyjo27 hey 👋 on CD16! Sounds like you have got yourself covered!! Hopefully these last two weeks fly by x

HE88 · 14/05/2020 16:15

Hi @Sallyjo27 cycle day 25 here feeling really rubbish today a bit sicky and tired not sure if it's because of the antibiotics for my uti. Keeping everything crossed for you I followed SMEP this cycle so I'm really hoping it has worked for me. I've found the tww ok this time round although now that I'm getting closer to af being due I'm starting to think about it. Xx

Rainbowhope11 · 14/05/2020 16:10

@Hayleylou89 I haven't gotten my peak yet on clear blue opk, only the flashing smileys. Hoping that I get my peak this weekend. How are you doing? Xx

Sallyjo27 · 14/05/2020 15:59

Hi ladies hope your all well!
What CD is everyone on? Currently CD 17 and taking today as “ovulation day” DTD lots the last few days so fingers crossed. Don’t know how I’ll cope in the TWW waiting for ovulation was hard enough 😂😩 x

2020wish · 14/05/2020 15:57

Is it possible to have twinges 3/4 dpo? Lol I swear I’m Getting twinges the same way I felt them when I was last pregnant lol but I know it’s way too soon like but strange

peonyrose87 · 14/05/2020 15:24

@mumoftwobeauts I really can't tell. We DTD yesterday so I'll just do today and tomorrow and then see where we are 😂

Kangaroo77 · 14/05/2020 14:44

@VP91x I'll probably test if I'm late. I feel like I've been pregnant so many times now that if I don't get the usual pregnancy signs (sore boobs etc) I'll wait and write it off till next month 😄. I'm only a few dpo (I think) so firmly at the front of that dreaded 2ww. Sorry to hear of your confusion this month!

@Dipsy77 ahh really? Nice to know we're here together. I often think of the mums on that September board 🥰

mumoftwobeauts · 14/05/2020 14:28

Sorry I thought the 13 was the last one! Didn't see the 14. Maybe your 13 one at 3.30 is your peak?

mumoftwobeauts · 14/05/2020 14:27

@peonyrose87 that last one looks pretty strong, it's probably coming.
Test again tonight and first thing x

peonyrose87 · 14/05/2020 14:22

Ladies, I'm so confused with this OPK. It's my first month doing it, and on day 12 the lines were more prominent but not the same or darker as the control line, and now they're getting faint again. Have I had my peak? My app says it should be today, but tbh I have no idea when I normally ovulate! 🤷🏻‍♀️ the test from day 13 at 1130, my urine was definitely too diluted but I was impatient 🙈

Renna · 14/05/2020 13:36

@Hayleylou89 no no symptoms and anything I think could be related I'm just ignoring as I'll just be symptom spotting like I did last month and was ppintless as kept thinking I was getting symptoms but obvs wasnt ! I'm 7dpo so also dont think I'd really get any symptoms so early. Just a waiting gamee AF probably arrive a week today ish if she actually shows this month ! 🤞she doesn't! 🌈 xxx

Hayleylou89 · 14/05/2020 13:30

@Rainbow001 ahh really have u got a pick of the faint one to post? Sounds like good signs though atleast 🙏 x

Hayleylou89 · 14/05/2020 13:28

@Renna yeah same just 2 like she said :) have u felt any symptoms what dpo are u now .. im so forgetful 🤦🏽‍♀️ x

Renna · 14/05/2020 13:26
