The thread where it does exactly what it says on the tin! We are all either actively TTC or preparing ourselves for TTC - come join us! Big thanks to confused for getting the last two threads going!

Hi lovely I've seen other people post on MN that those vitamins upset their cycle..

DH is so romantic.. he asked me if the thrush was better so we can DTD later .. if not, he said, we can "just lube up with canesten" yum!!! Confused

I've no interest in DTD unless it's in FW these days Wink makes a change him asking for it! I'm always the one bugging him for it normally! Nice to have the tables turned Grin

I went to buy a preg test today (just to keep in the drawer) and they don't sell them in the supermarket here. I have to go to an actual chemist! Bloody stupid rules! There is nothing shameful about having a baby!

How far along is your SIL confused? Have they had their scan?

Parsnips that's so annoying!! But you do get perpetual sunshine over there.. I'm jealous given the wind and rain in London right now! Also wtf was up with the trains / tube., horrible

AIBU to have a (light) beer with dinner., it's making me feel better about the BFN I'll be facing in the morning! I'm pretty sure it's too early for me (with my DD I swear no BFP until 6 weeks pg!)

But a good omen - last car I passed had "BFP" as the last 3 letters on number plate

Ha Grumpy that's amazing! Wonderful omen. I'm really hoping you get your BFP! I know - right! I was literally wandering round all the aisles looking for it and then it dawned on me that we can't have the scandal of a pregnancy test sitting next to cosmetics and where shock horror men might be passing!!! Feck sake. I'm just going to go to boots tomorrow. I want to have a few in ready!

How are you feeling about tomorrow? Are you testing with DH or on your own?

Its not SIL its our friends... but we had to tell SIL today to make sure we got in first... but this friend knows we are trying and just with the issues with bubble i was enjoying time with my nephew without thinking about babies...

Tbh thank god DH found out and has pre-warned me otherwise i probably would havd been really upset Sad

HeyJupiter · 23/02/2017 20:08

Haha buzz I love that you communicate through underwear!

So sorry you had a tough day penguin, don’t panic and don’t let yourself over analyse. We’ve all been there. In fact I was very much there today and had full on crying session in front of two of my colleagues. They were lovely but meant they did a home visit for a patient that I was meant to complete and now I feel bloody guilty. Agh.

parsnips ohh what are your nails like?

Good luck glitter penguin and grumpy, will have everything crossed for you!!! Grumpy, I can’t wait for your torture to be over - it’s felt like such a long 2ww for you. It is early though so don’t be too disappointed if a BFN as you could easily get a line in a couple more days.

Lovely I’ve heard this about sevenseas too… in fact Hb are you taking them? Is that maybe why AF delayed? Any super quick zika results yet?

ohh confused that’s really hard. I’m so sorry. How are you feeling today? How is little confused bubble?

DancingUnicorn · 23/02/2017 20:09

Sorry confused. Is it a close friend? Maybe you could tell her about your situation? At least you have time to process before she tells you! Sorry, must be such an anxious time for you. 💐

TheGrumpySquirrel · 23/02/2017 20:11

Confused that is an icky feeling. I had it with our engagement.. DH best friend around the same time (urgh). Fx all is fine with bubble (I have a good feeling!).

Parsnips DH and I generally get up at the same time but he's so used to my POAS madness after a month of it, he will be soooo surprised if it's positive! I'll sneak off to the bathroom at 6am and bring the FRER back to watch it develop..

TheGrumpySquirrel · 23/02/2017 20:13

Thanks Jupiter it is really dragging! Trying to tell myself I'll def know by mid next week. Unless cycles are very screwed. Ovia says AF is due 2 march (assuming a 31 day cycle). So would be due Monday based on a 28 day cycle.

HeyJupiter · 23/02/2017 20:17

Grumpy if tomorrow is BFN will you test again on Sunday? Think you should have clearer idea on a FRER by 12dpo :) So excited for you. This thread is the first thing I check when I get up in the morning!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 23/02/2017 20:18

Yeah I'll try to hold out till Sunday (or even Monday) if tomorrow is a clear negative

DancingUnicorn · 23/02/2017 20:19

Yep, I'll be checking excitedly in the morning! Fx for you grumpy! Who else is testing? Remember, bfn is not necessarily bfn!!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 23/02/2017 20:20

Penguin and glitters are also testing. It's a massive test-a-thon!!

confusedat23 · 23/02/2017 20:22

They stung us with it during dinner... now its just questions about when me and DH are gonna make a baby... i feel sick...

DancingUnicorn · 23/02/2017 20:22

Woop! :D Worth getting up in the morning!

Oh confused it must be really tough with all the worry you've had. I'm sure they aren't meaning to be insensitive - they're probably wrapped up on their own wee world. It's only natural that you feel a bit upset though.

Chin up!

I went for a charcoal grey with silver accents on the ring finger. It's not a great pic but that's going on today's 100 happy days 💅🏻

Oh confused. :( That's an insensitive question to ask if they know you're trying!! Hope you hold up ok through the rest of dinner!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 23/02/2017 20:27

I got asked this at a lunch with friends who have just had a baby.. I could see by her face she knew it was an out of order thing to ask! I was suitably vague said we hadn't decided yet.. hugs confused

HeyJupiter · 23/02/2017 20:34

Ohh hugs confused that's really hard. So understandable that you're feeling upset.

parsnips they are absolutely gorgeous!! As is your engagement ring by the way :)

buzzmoon · 23/02/2017 20:44

Awh confused that is shit. Hope that what you had for dinner was nice at least Flowers and if think that your bubbles will be good friends which is nice!

Literally so exited for those testing tomorrow!

buzzmoon · 23/02/2017 20:46

Lovely nails parsnips!

HbH04 · 23/02/2017 20:49

Soooooo many people, mainly clients have asked/dropped hints about TTC... ive played the zika card to my advantage and said we have to wait 6 months! (That will give us some breathing space!)

jupiter Ive been taking pregnacare conception along with a few other bits. This is my third month though and AF was bang on the other months.

Still a mystery!

HeyJupiter · 23/02/2017 20:59

Ohh so odd Hb, does it feel like it's gearing up?
