@Kaybobx @candycrush2298 I took a pregnancy test to check and it did come out negative. Period was due tomorrow too so I reckon based on that we can say I am out for the cycle. Just want AF to hurry up and go now.

I won’t be doing any OPK’s or testing this cycle. It will just be SMEP this cycle and I will be seeing the gynae in September.

@candycrush2298 black pudding is disgusting. I haven't actually tried it but knowing what it is makes me vom, yuk!
Nothing wrong with a happy meal though 😊 and im also basic with my pizza, Cheese and Tomato all the way.

Yeah i am chatty really, probably talk to much but it's usually rubbish haha.

@Elakiya oh nooooo!! I hope its just abit of spotting and not actually AF.

@Kaybobx lol you appear quite chatty and even if you dont get this job it will be a great stepping stone to see how interview processes have changed and what you need to do to get in there lol!!

Lol!! I love square sausage but not with brown sauce hahaahah!!! I liked it more in a meal called Stovies- excellent comfort food whahahaha!!! Ummmm still havent tried haggis I am too scared 😂😂😂 and I eventually tried black pudding a few weeks ago our neighbours gave us Stornoway black pudding - yeah sorry guys just not feeling it 😂😂😂 but I am such a fussy eater like i would eat a happy meal from McDonald's and my pizza would just have ham and cheese on I am that kind of child eater 😂😂😂😂

@Elakiya noooooooooooo I am so sorry I really really wanted this to be your cycle!!! All that BD'ng, everything I was just so hopful this would be it for you!! So sorry hun!!

@candycrush2298 @Kaybobx AF will arrive tomorrow I am spotting today 😞

Kaybobx · 16/08/2020 14:32

@candycrush2298 i hope so. Ive not been to an interview in over 5 years. Maybe a large redbull before i go in will keep me chatty lol.

yessss Gregs sausage rolls are incredible!! Not sure what i think of the Scottish version haha. Do you like haggis? I had it from a fish and chip shop in Scotland years ago and it was so nice. Not quite the same down here from Tesco 🤮

@Kaybobx 27th eeeep its so close lol!!! Lets just hope its one of those easy chilled interviews where you can wing it hahaha.

Sausage rolls are the best but here in Scotland I have since learned there two types of sausage rolls 😂😂 one which is the only one I have known all my life which is a pastry wrapped around meat (love Greggs BTW whahaha). Thats the one I know and love. Then there is a Scottish sausage roll which is a normal bread roll with square sausage and brown sauce on hahahahahah I assume since you are English that we are talking about the same sausage roll 😂😂😂😂

@NamechangeTTC i had awful back pain last cycle. Its so awful, i hope it gets better soon.

@candycrush2298 interview is 27th ekk! Such a bad time to have one when I've been off work for 4 months and my brain is no longer working haha!!

Sausage rolls are literally the best. I just love all food to be honest haha.

@NamechangeTTC sounds like you are having the most challenging time. I hope nothing more serious is going on.

@Kaybobx yeah for sure but meant in general whether its this interview or the next. Changing jobs when ttc always makes you second guess you know. Rooting for you. What date is the interview??

Oooooh I freaken love sausage rolls for breakfast!!! Depends on my mood I am complete mixed when it comes to sweet and salty. Love both equally 😂😂😂

@candycrush2298 @welliedays it sure is a tough decision but i might not even get the job haha! Thank you for your words of support though.

Im not a sweet kinda girl so maybe it is a normal thing to do having ice cream in the morning. I'd much rather have a sausage roll for breakfast haha now thats not normal i know.

@snapple21 my chart is very much like yours up and down.

NamechangeTTC · 16/08/2020 12:44

Just checking back in ladies

Horrendous back pain today so I’ll mainly be found lying flat. It’s agony.

@snapple21 looking at your chart I can see you had a big dip at 4dpo again yesterday but both times you came back up it also looks like your luteal phase temps overall are higher than your follicular phase which definitely appears that you have ovulated.

@Welliedays lol waffles for dessert is normal in SA you will find it on the dessert menu in many restaurants with ice cream and sometimes Mars bar pieces and chocolate sauce. There is even a restaurant that specialises in waffles with loads of toppings to choose from you can even build your own but they are always served with ice cream or cream. Waffles are not served with salty things like bacon lol that reminds me of Waffle house in America 🤢 maybe I am just a weirdo lol!!!
I am not eating bacon with a Belgian chocolate waffle 😂😂

@snapple21 send me a private message with your details and I'll get them popped in the post

Boc86 · 16/08/2020 11:54

@Welliedays amazing line!

Does anyone take b complex?

Welliedays · 16/08/2020 11:53

@kayboxbx maybe it's your job which isn't helping you conceive so changing job may be what you need... Which would be worth the 6 month pause over potentially never managing to conceive in your current job? Especially with rubbish shifts etc. I really hope that whatever happens you end up happier and with a BFP!

@elakiya I'm a sweet fan too, quite partial to kit kats at the moment ahaha

@candycrush2298 I'd say a dessert/afternoon snack!! Waffles with bacon are popular for breakfast.. But I'm not so keen!!

snapple21 · 16/08/2020 11:53

@Welliedays that is so nice I can
PayPal you some money just let me know :)

Here is my chart guys it's all over the place such big temperature changes so not sure how accurate it is.

@Welliedays lol only right now because of these comments have I just learned its not normal to everyone to have waffles with a wee bit of ice cream for breakfast all my life I thought it was totally normal😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol men truly don't understand everything when it comes to a woman lol but he is trying which is super sweet.

@Elakiya I still havent had a deep fried Mars bar I tried one once in America and it was awful so I havent mucked up the courage to try to Scottish version. I love sweet things too but I am also extremely fussy I eat like a 5 year old 😂😂😂 so cannot be eating at fancy restaurants because I wouldnt eat anything on the menu lol!!!!
How are you? How's the studying going? Still think AF is definitely on her way??

@Kaybobx its so tough to make these decisions though isnt it like you can't put your life on hold forever but at the same time you don't want to stop trying. Its such a catch-22 but for me personally I think if you are unhappy in your job then you should try and move on becuase you spend so much time there you know. But thats me and my opinion everyone is different.

Lol its not ice cream its waffles with a bit of ice cream on the side - no one whacks out a magnum for breakfast. Well maybe they do but I don't 😂😂😂

I need clarification now guys what time of day are waffles served in the UK? Is it a dessert only type dish?

Kaybobx · 16/08/2020 10:51

@candycrush2298 thank you. Yeah I'm sure it would be at least 6 months for any kind of pay. Where i am now is really really good maternity pay hence why ive stayed so long but i literally can't cope with these shifts anymore and PG clearly isn't happening.

I spend alot of time on my phone too haha!

Im hoping the drop was just because i had an awful sleep. I just have a feeling it will shoot below the coverline tomorrow 😭 id show at least a faint by now surely?

How are you today @Elakiya?

And indeed wow at the ice cream for breakfast!! Haha. Ive not heard of that before.

Elakiya · 16/08/2020 10:51

@candycrush2298 😂😂😂 Honestly that sounds my kind of thing. Super jealous.

I was up in Scotland and had a deep fried mars bar? That was amazing 😁😁😁😁

I am addicted to all things sugary btw if you haven’t already guessed.

Welliedays · 16/08/2020 10:49

I wish I was South African @candycrush2298, I am totally OK with ice cream for breakfast. After waking up at 7 I am still in bed too, except getting out for poas this morning and going to the loo again and making my breakfast ahah. My husband had decided I should be careful now to make sure it definitely sticks so he has banned me from tractor work as its quite bouncy along the roads (we'll see how that goes with harvest around the corner)... I mean, he's been extra cautious bless him - I know that bouncing around on a tractor will make absolutely no difference to how sticky the little bean is! He was a bit annoyed I tested this morning, but he knew I was doing it. He also said I shouldn't have bothered as it was obvious I was going to get a positive with my symptoms. Men just don't get it do they 😂

@Elakiya its pretty common to have waffles and ice cream for breakfast to South Africans just as much as bacon and eggs or French toast lol!!! Think waffles are an American traditional breakfast and Soutb Africans took it and adapted it 😂😂😂

@candycrush2298 Ice cream for breakfast?

Original poster
candycrush2298 · 16/08/2020 10:24

@Kaybobx no you didn't mention awww really hope you get it.

And I completely understand, its usually what about 3/6 months to get the maternity benefits?

Lol i don't even end up watching anything just playing on my phone lol. I am still in bed at this time and my husband just brought me up waffles and ice cream with a cup of tea - how sweet for breakfast in bed. I didnt really feel hungry or like anything sweet for breakfast but the thought was grand and I ate it anyway lol!!

Yeah not too long I think, can never truly guess what a body will do though lol!!! Lets hope this soy thing works out lol

@Elakiya here is my chart @Kaybobx has not dropped like mine. Yours looks like your normal fluctuations. If it rises tomorrow I wouldnt be concerned. If it drops below the coverline then we can stress lol

@Kaybobx didn’t @candycrush2298‘s graph drop lower than this. @candycrush2298 can you please put your graph up again so we can compare

Elakiya · 16/08/2020 10:11

@candycrush2298 it’s really sad though isn’t it. The fact that no one around us can really offer the emotional support we need. Thankfully now we have the internet and can connect to people that are also struggling but without this support group I don’t know how I would survive this
