CSG (Thread 1)

Oooooooh I think I'm at peak or at least so bloody close. Waiting on the pink dye settling before uploading pic! Held pee for 4 hrs!

@candycrush2298 @kaybobx I wish mine would pay less attention aha I know he's doing it to benefit me but it is annoying 😂 we have cows so I think he just treats the whole process like when the bull goes in the field. I wish I was joking

@candycrush2298 thank you! Haha yeah my hubby is a very much just show up to the party kinda guy. He did the same at our wedding, not sure he even knew the color scheme lol.

I work and live with my husband, there's no escape from him. And as I found out when I tested on Sunday he's like hawkeye/ear. I didn't tell him I was testing, came back to the bedroom and he said 'I knew what you were doing'. No chance of secretly testing with him about ahaha

@PinkRoseFlower my easy at home tests certainly got darker later in the day. You usually get them in bulk so test twice per day but they really are the best OPKS personally. I love them!

@candycrush2298 hmm i may give them a go (if i can find them anywhere) you'll have to remind me what to do. My AF is only 3-4 days so maybe i should start them earlier than you did.
Ive brought some seeds today so going to give that a try too. I have alot of smoothies and soups so will blend them in.

@Welliedays i literally can't wait to hear all is ok and sticking. Must be so hard having this on your mind.

My period is due on Thursday @candycrush2298, I haven't phoned the doctors yet... Will wait and see if start bleeding and if I do I'll phone then and if I don't I'll call them after I test again on Sunday.

If I had my way I'd be testing every day, but my husband tells me I shouldn't stress snyssld doing it... to be honest I don't struggle too much not testing as I dread the result..but I'd defs out myself through it every morning if it wasn't for him speaking sense to me. We're going to test again on Sunday morning all being well, which would be a further week on from that first test so the line should be a lot better by then 🤞🏻

@namechangettc I'm pleased you had a good meal... Go all out, you might as well enjoy it, I would, you only live once!! Tired is defs a symptom though, I'm still really hoping your body and hormones are fooling you

Thanks for the tip @candycrush2298! I will bare that in mind. I need to re check my instructions for CB as last month I used FMU each day I tested... But reading the easy at home ones they say not to use fmu so I maybe did it wrong all along last month🤦‍♀️

Fingers crossed for sticky beans all round.

I had risotto. Was lovely. And a starter and pudding. Probably shouldn’t have.

I’m bloody knackered. Painfully exhausted. Work has been mental.

I know what you mean too. My AF is short but fucking full on. Talking night pad and tampon every 2 hours TMI but it’s only 2-3 days max. So it hits hard. Had spotting the last month we tried.

This can’t count as anything near a period there’s so little.

@candycrush2298 hahaha!! Peeing my money away, thats so true.

I guess the soy isnt so scary then. That postive opk though woooaaa I'm excited to see what this next cycle brings for you. This is gonna be the one!

Haha @welliedays not a fraud at all, you are just trying to protect yourself by preparing for the worst and hoping for the best 😊 I did the same after my chemical... Part of me was excited and I had a good feeling but because I'd been spotting for days I also knew it wasn't looking good and ended up being the later. It still hurt like hell but I'd prepared myself that would happen so I completely understand why you're trying not to get excited just yet. I think you'll be just fine though, next week we can all celebrate for you once you've missed your period 🥳

@PinkRoseFlower thank you. Glad you had a fab time away.

@Welliedays you'll be fine. Stop stressing, it's not good for baby 🙂

@NamechangeTTC i think its still a good sign if its not red. Hang in there, don't lose hope yet.

@Kaybobx no. Sometimes bright red but not this brown.

Thank you @pinkroseflower,i hope so too! I feel like such a fraud when I have my BFP and it comes across that I'm not happy. I obvs am, I just can't relax or believe it yet!

@welliedays that's totally understandable, very nerve racking time! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it sticks and this time next week you'll be feeling more relaxed about it 😊

Thanks @pinkroseflower... Not excited yet as I'm too busy stressing that it won't stick and over analysing every symptom (or lack of) aha. I might calm down by about Sunday as AF is due on Thursday and my chemical started 2 days after AF was due last time. I think mentally I'll be much happier then!

Wow so much to catch up on😂 I had a nice relaxing weekend with a few glasses of wine to drown my sorrows that AF arrived 😆 I've barely looked at my phone! All good though, pretty much done now so I'll be onto the Opks soon, just read the instructions for the easy@home ones so let's see how I get on, see if they show my peak the same time as CB.

I see you got your BFP @Welliedays, I really hope it's a sticky one 🤞❤️ you must be so excited!

@candycrush2298 glad to hear the soya is doing something, sounds like you've been experiencing some positive effects😆

@Kaybobx fingers crossed this is your month, can't wait to see if tomorrow's test is a stonger line and you get your BFP!

Hope everyone is all good :) x

@NamechangeTTC is brown spotting normal for you? Sorry if I've missed a previous post. Ive never had it, my AF just comes full on red straight away.

@candycrush2298 yeah it was me that said i was going to wait to see what happens to you first before trying them haha! But tbf even if they do mess up my cycle, my cycle clearly isn't working as it is anyway so cant be any worse!
Im soooooo nervous to see what my temperature does tomorrow morning.

Thank god my hubby is working away tomorrow so i don't have to sneak the FRERs in when the post comes haha!
