Also when's your birthday? @AnxiousAnnie86 tomorrow?
If so happy birthday for tomorrow!! Such a lovely present for you and hubby 😆

Blossom428 · 31/10/2020 16:40

Yeah I really think that.. and I think my OH is over thinking the finances side of things too. I just tell him you make it work no matter what. We are both on good wages and I work for the council so would get half pay anyways.

I got my static smile this morning, after a bit of an argument last night, it ended in make up sex this morning at least haha. Now just got to try for tomorrow morning too 🤞🏽

@AnxiousAnnie86 yes I guess it's still early days isn't it, but I've defo got a good feeling about this time 😆😊 Have you any new symptoms or still boob pain? Have you booked an early scan?

@Blossom428 I remember in the beginning after telling my husband how important timing was etc, and on the day I got my first peak he worked till midnight! I kept thinking he is avoiding this!! But I think our minds just go intro overdrive snd to them there is no urgency, and it'll happen when it happens, that was my Dhs favourite line.

Yeah there's a couple but it feels kinda weird! You guys know my journey etc don't feel like chatting to people really. I'm so worried all the time x

Reassuring to hear you've gone through the same @AnxiousAnnie86 . It's just stressful and I feel ovulation is the worst for me as I know it's coming, and I just get so anxious because usually we only have sex once a week or soemthing because Oh is so tired- 8years into a relationship for you.
But I just want to try get some romance back- this evening ive cooked a nice tea and cleaned everywhere trying to make the place feel nice, and now he's gone for a pint after work 😫 even after messaging him about how I've been feeling. Guys just are not sensitive at all! Maybe it will release a bit of steam for him though and relax him for later 😈 haha!!

How are you feeling? Have you joined a group on a pregnancy board where you can get some support?

@Blossom428 when my husband and I had been trying for a few months he literally acted exactly the same, I was thinking about it all the time and he was just like "it's scary" it all changed when I got pregnant last year he was so so happy and heartbroken when we lost it.... I think men process things differently they don't really have much control over the situation or have the same hormones as us... but I'm sure the second you tell him you are pregnant he will be so happy! Try not to let it stress you out or get you down. We've got enough to stress about!!! Xxx

Sorry to hear AF turned up @TTCagainHOPEFUL

Another flashing again this morning @AnxiousAnnie86 feel it's getting close though, it's the first time I've ever had ewcm!

Although I feel I'm really struggling this month, I just keep getting so emotional and I can't switch my brain off from thinking about wanting a baby. I've tried to not put pressure on OH about having sex this week, but he just gets in bed and goes straight to sleep. We've ended up texting this morning and I've said how I feel about it all and how sad it's making me feel- he's not great at talking face to face and shut things down. But he's saying he feels scared.
Why are guys like this.
He knows he does want it, but he's just being an arse 😂🙈 arghhhhh. He did this with moving into our new house, he was scared to do it and leave his own house. Commitment issues is so annoying. We'll have been together 8 years next week, what more does he want to see that this is a forever thing 🙈🙈🙈

TTCagainHOPEFUL · 30/10/2020 09:03

Sorry I’ve been quiet. I got my AF. Gutted doesn’t cut it. We genuinely thought this month would be the month. I got some vit D so taking that alongside my pregnacare conception. Suppose the upside is it’s still fun getting to try if you know what I mean 😉 xx

Blossom428 · 28/10/2020 11:16

Ahh Yeahh!! @AnxiousAnnie86 that's good to see how strong the line is on the strip tests!
Aww cute! Would it be July time?

I'm really praying that it works for me this time, as then I wouldn't be pregnant for one of my best friends wedding 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Ohh good 😆😊 how exciting!! So in pregnancy world you would be 4weeks now? Or because it goes off when you last had your period would you be further?

Blossom428 · 28/10/2020 07:41

How are you feeling @AnxiousAnnie86 ?
Will you be calling the GP?

Do you take the higher dose vit D right through the cycle?

Blossom428 · 27/10/2020 12:35

God don't!!! 😂🙈🙈 @AnxiousAnnie86

@Blossom428 I once had 18 flashing 😂😂

Blossom428 · 27/10/2020 11:16

Hahah!! @AnxiousAnnie86 @MamaMoonbeam

Yeah I got 5 flashing days last time. So it's probs going to land over the weekend. OH is very much a morning dtd'er. Which is hard as he always gets up and goes to work really early before I'm up. So I'm going to have to try somethings for the evenings I think. Or just say I'm having a very long lay in after 😂

AnxiousAnnie86 · 27/10/2020 10:39

@MamaMoonbeam hahaha not for long! What I mean is previously we've literally done it like five days in a row over fertile window! But this month he said maybe we are doing it too much. And saved it up for all the days and then did it on day of static! Well day after static so OV day 😂

MamaMoonbeam · 27/10/2020 09:58

AnxiousAnnie86 · 27/10/2020 09:46

@Blossom428 get doing it!!! Or take my husbands approach and save it all up for one almighty one when get static 😂😂😂 I will say one thing I did different this month was I didn't move after I didn't go to the loo at all till morning!

You only normally get a couple days flashing don't you? X

OP posts:
Blossom428 · 27/10/2020 09:40

I got my first flashing smile today... and so it begins (again) haha

Blossom428 · 27/10/2020 09:39

Yeah I wouldn't test any more @AnxiousAnnie86 ... You could take another digital next week to see if it's gone up further, but examining lines won't be any good for you.

You need to try to de stress and relax now. Look after and be good to yourself. 😊 after all it's your birthday week!! (Who doesn't love to drag a birthday out all week ahha)

MamaMoonbeam · 27/10/2020 09:32

Maybe that is it, lovely. Best try not to fret and wait as long as you can to test again 🤗

I was super thirsty yesterday afternoon and maybe with less hold it was more concentrated... my opks are always stronger with shorter holds x
