Impatient TTC - Thread 3..or 4?

@CookieMonster3001 Definitely lines! Congratulations. If you get yourself a FRER I think you'd get a clear positive even with middle of the day urine. And if you wait for FMU a CB digital with weeks should pick it up.

I'm so happy for you. Hoping for a smoother time for you this time.

@mackjm20 I feel like its not real and I dont think I want to believe it until ive done about 100 more tests lol. Im either 9 or 10DPO. I overrode the ovulation date because I am certain I ovulated CD12 but another app was saying CD13 so could be either 🤷‍♀️.

@CookieMonster3001 what dpo are you :)? Eek honestly so so happy for you :) and I really mean that :) xx

@CookieMonster3001 Omgosh they look like definite lines to me! Ah I am keeping my whole heart crossed for you my lovely. I actually feel really emotional for you sending you so so much love and positivity xx

Ladies I know I said I wouldnt test today but I couldnt help it and now im shaking. I really hope these arnt evil evaps! Especially as east at home gave me horrible evaps last month!

@princesscallie ahhh i invested in my own home lazer machine and was the best investment!! Thats prob why i can get away with not shaving cus the hair barely grows and is pretty fine!! Me and my sister share it and paid abt £160 each towards it and we just alternate who uses it!

@CookieMonster3001 I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully Fridays test will be clearer!!

Haha I would shave my legs every second or 3rd day...I hate stubble and hairy legs! Just a personal thing. I wanted to look into lazer hair removal after the last lockdown but I was 2 tanned for it after spending 6 months pretty much in shorts. I don't mind shaving but it's my bikini line that bothers me the most and I refuse to shave that. So will just have to suck it up and hope the beauticans opens sooner rather than later!

Evening ladies!

Did a test this morning and I can see a vvvvvvf line, and tbh not entirely sure if its line eyes, a positive or an evap so just going to wait and see what happens!!

@kayeyeem I use fertility friend! I am a bit of a data geek and it has great options! I also had a code to get a years membership for £20 and so glad I decided to go for it!

@princesscallie you are so good! I dont think I have shaved my legs since last summer LOL

@arrierttyclock oh no I am sorry you are feeling pains already! Fingers crossed it isnt AF but I know the feeling, honestly I thought even though the chances were low, that we would still concieve 1st month, here we are 5 months later :(

@sunflowersaremyfav93 love being cosy!! my MIL was laughing at me the other day as I wear 2 pairs of socks, leggings, pyjama top and a hoodie to bed!! haha I think I am just a naturally cold person! Ahh I know the feeling about impatient, even OH said to me today he is getting frustrated and really didnt think it would effect him in this way!

Not much going on with me really, no symptoms as such. Had a massive temp dip today (9DPO) and a faint bit of spotting, but this happened last cycle so not getting too excited. Other than that, I am a bit bloated this afternoon and I dont really know how to describe it, but my womb area just feels a bit tight or a bit full. Its wierd! Not doing a test tomorrow, going to wait until Friday!

Hi all, just checking in again. Thanks for tagging me, I don't seem to be getting any notifications at the moment though 🤷😕. Apologies if I miss anything directed at me.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 Yes we will be telling everyone if the 12 week scan goes well. Most close friends and family already know though. And I told work at 5-6 weeks cause I was so ill.

That's very sweet about you and your OH. 🥰 My husband took me by surprise last night and while we were getting DS ready for bed he suddenly said "I want about 10 of these". I was like "I'm not doing this again!". He responded with "Well we'll not make any permanent changes so let's just see how we feel in future" !?!?

I know exactly how I'll feel in future!!!!! However it was still really nice to see how much he's embracing being a dad. Especially recently when he's been doing pretty much everything round the house and for DS. He's always been a good dad, but he's really flourished in these past 5-6 weeks since I've been unwell 🥰

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I live in Ireland and that's what we are being told. Very little will be open this side of Easter. So I'll have to revert to using the scissors for a while.

Good to hear your stepping up for your hubby. Most important!!!

Also delighted to hear you and hubby are having discussions. We already have 2 daughters but I've no preference this time. Hubby doesn't either as long as it's healthy. Same feelings from me. Funny thing is though pretty much all babies I know of in the last few years are boys though. But I hear you on the impatient thing. I just want to be pregnant so we can move on. This will be our last baby so I've my fingers crossed it all works out!

@Arrierttyclock we all done that. It is something we really want and I think no harm on some wishful and positive thinking. Two cycle in a row without having sex in my FW (hubby was away), I was expecting to become pregnant and felt so down about it when I was not. All this is normal and part of the progress. Don't loose hope till AF shows up and even it does next month

I am still cramping and lower back pain, apparently it's normal and internet says as uterus trying to adapt to the new baby, these cramping occurs. Little bit worried as last time I felt cramping and then started bleeding. Tested again and became positive, praying all is normal. Don't have any other symptom as nausea or sore boob

So according to Flo I'm due AF on Tuesday. It might be abit off as it'l be my first proper one since the pill. I have endometriosis as I get really severe pains about a week before and the week of my period. I can feel the start of those pains today and I'm gutted. I knewwww it wouldn't happen this month, I've only just come off the pill like less than a month ago so I knew I wouldn't be. Im just gutted I didn't expect to feel like this because I kept telling myself and DH it won't happen but I did think well it might and now I just feel stupid and down. Urgh

@sunflowersaremyfav93 haha I shave my legs fairly regularly as I hate having hair!!! The fact no beauticans are open is killing me. And it doesn't look like they'll be open for at least another 7 weeks... so not exactly looking my best. But I have spent the morning buying exercise equipment so hoping it'll kick my ass in to gear to get back running and spinning! Something to take my mind off baby making and lockdown!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 when I said dressing up I meant in lingerie, hold ups and heels but dressing up nice would be a change now as I'm living in leggings and hoodies since Christmas.

Ladies what would you say is the best cycle tracking app? I've been using Clue but I'm not sure it's that accurate.

@Kayeyeem that is so true and empowering, thank you needed to hear that

@CookieMonster3001 Ooh good luck with the test tomorrow 🤞🏼
@velam I remember being concerned with every little twinge in the very early stages but you have to trust your body knows what it's doing 🙂 Thank you 😊
@Arrierttyclock I wouldn't worry too much about the hot water bottle, although getting a cover might not be a bad move just in case, but I used to sit in the hottest bath I could handle and still managed to get pregnant twice 🤣

I'm not sure what's the matter with me but the last 2 days I've been so sensitive any little thing sets me off crying and I'm not normally a crier lol. This morning I've teared up/cried 3 times and all I was doing was listening to the radio 🙈 I'm not particularly sad or stressed, in fact I'm having a good day so who knows 😆

@sunflowersaremyfav93 yay for fluffy socks!! I am the same, I always have a hot water bottle with me!! I do keep it on my back and avoid using it on my stomach, I am way too paranoid!! I think as long as your bottle isn't SUPER hot then it should be OK, I tend to use it on my upper back when its freshly made (or my legs) and then when its cooled down a bit, Ill pop it on my tummy to warm me up.

@Arrierttyclock hopefully your due date will be pushed back because you ovulated a bit later? There is a lot of conflicting info about hot water bottles to be honest, some say that your inner core temperature never really changes and is pretty stable so a hot water bottle shouldn't in theory make too much difference, I just avoid it now just to be on the safe side!

@NewbieB ah great I've probably fried all my bloody eggs now then 😂🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ I don't even use a cover so god knows the damage I've done

@sunflowersaremyfav93 @Arrierttyclock me too! Sat here now with one. I was also reading today (because I can’t help googling stuff like “what not to do in TWW) and I’m right at the start of it. I also read not to have excess heat on uterus. I’ve moved it to my feet but love the feel on my tummy

@CookieMonster3001 all sounds very promising! Got my fingers crossed for you xx
