I’m almost 100% convinced I’m out now!

Really really hoping a December baby is the one. Anyone else?

@BiscuitLover3678 the gorgeous weather at the end of last cycle made me feel optimistic about trying again too.

Unfortunately my DH is going away around AF time for a couple days so it will be me and the tests alone together again. Send help.

BiscuitLover3678 · 08/04/2022 14:23

I feel like first few days of AF are awful and then I get all hopeful about the next month. One thing that did make me feel better last cycle was that the weather was beautiful and that March is a great time of year, so getting pregnant in 3 more cycles and having a March baby will be lovely. So someone please remind me of that if this cycle fails. šŸ˜‚

Right got an empty smiley today which makes me hope that I did ovulate a few days ago when didn’t check. So hopefully our early sex worked? Who knows!

Entering my TWW and joining some of you!

Just saw a thread for people expecting a December babies and really hope we can join it ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

Also I’m trying to make myself a plan for what I’ll be doing when AF is due. I’ve been so upset the last two times I feel like I need to make sure I have something positive booked in to make it feel ok. It’s hard because pms makes you weepy anyway!

@Charl881 clear blue are definitely easier. Wake up pee on stick. Job done. I'm being a little crafty with my easy@home. DH didn't want to track. 'Let nature take its course' I think the pressure was getting to him. So I take the easy@home one mid afternoon when he's nowhere near me.

Good job too or I would have totally missed the early peak (which I'm also a little worried about)

MrsGrealish · 07/04/2022 22:04

@Charl881 they are making my feet ITCHY!! 2 minutes more then they are off šŸ˜‚ DH hasn't seen them yet thank goodness šŸ˜… mind he bought me them years ago so can't say too much

What CD are you on? Whatever works for you (I can't judge I spent £60 on vitamins which arrived yesterday at 2dpo for both me and DH not much use now like)
Royal Mail 2 day delivery is a lie šŸ™„

Charl881 · 07/04/2022 21:50

@MrsGrealish I’ve heard of that but I HATE my feet being warm. Keep telling DP that I’ll only go down that route when I get really desperate. I think he thinks I’m mad enough already.

Still low on the Clear Blue OPKs so really hoping that continues. Decided to invest in them rather than just the cheapies as they give me more of an indicator if peak is on the way.

BiscuitLover3678 · 07/04/2022 20:51

@MrsGrealish

I'm lying in bed with actual fluffy socks on. I despair at myself following an old wives tale. Honestly like that will make all the difference šŸ˜‚
I haven’t heard of that one! Better get the fluffies on myself.

@MrsGrealish Thank you!!! That's the one :D Hope you're doing okay and that you get a clear ovulation soon.

MrsGrealish · 07/04/2022 19:03

@GeraniumCedarwood I think it's called 'countdown to pregnancy' can't link it though sorry x

GeraniumCedarwood · 07/04/2022 18:48

I wonder if anyone can help me, I’m trying to find a website that was posted somewhere on these boards in one of the November threads. It was one where it listed pregnancy symptoms by dpo and the percentage of people who were pregnant after that symptom. Does anyone know what site I mean?

Charl881 · 07/04/2022 14:08

@MrsGrealish I’ll definitely keep on the OPKs, I’m really hoping I get a peak tomorrow or Saturday so I don’t have to worry about it but I know that’s unlikely!

MrsGrealish · 07/04/2022 10:04

@Charl881 it's bound to delay it šŸ™ keep an eye on your OPKs. I wasn't ready for fertile week to be overšŸ˜•

Charl881 · 07/04/2022 09:49

Well I DTD this morning before OH left for the week. If I ovulate on the same cycle day as last month then I’m 4 days before ovulation so still in with a small chance I guess. Yet to see if my chemical will delay it or change it though. If it could delay it by four days to next Friday that would be perfect. Good luck to all already in the TWW, it comes around quick doesn’t it and yet then goes so slow.

BiscuitLover3678 · 07/04/2022 08:29

Good luck to those in the TWW.

I’ve been crappy with opks so ovulation might be today or yesterday or tomorrow I don’t know! The ones I’ve tried have all been negative so far.
By Saturday I will be joining you in the TWW for sure.

@Charl881 ā¤ļø hopefully I hold it together a little better this time. Don't count on it though 😫 apologies in advance

Charl881 · 06/04/2022 20:23

@MrsGrealish we’re all here for you!

MrsGrealish · 06/04/2022 16:14

@Bubblesandballoons yep TWW begins. So not looking forward to this 😩

em123456789 · 06/04/2022 15:13

Just a heads up for everyone don't use freedom test strips 🄲🄲
Not even a glimpse of a line on the other tests so will have to try again next month šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ» anyone have any tips for how to not get down about it?

Bubblesandballoons · 06/04/2022 14:38

@Charl881 not spoke to them yet as trying to get an appointment has been a pain as not an emergency šŸ™„, but if I fall pregnant next cycle and haven’t had my appointment by then I’ll definitely be ringing and chasing for a prescription or at least a blood test to check levels. That’s good you aren’t having any signs yet, hopefully it will wait till he’s back šŸ¤žšŸ»
@MrsGrealish it’s definitely not easy, so I can see why people don’t. Hopefully todays opk’s will clear things up, so you know where you are.
@em123456789 oh no it looked like a good line on cheapy.
