Yeah you get little capsules! I got mine off Amazon Smile

EMHW123 · 20/06/2017 13:56

@McTufty nice one will have a look now!

Also it's the clear blue digi hormone ones-purple box-flashing smiley is high static smiley is peak.....

Clacton · 21/06/2017 10:45

Still not tested but definitely going to tomorrow. Couldn't stay awake yesterday so went to bed at half 7, still knackered this morning and been sick when I woke up and at work 😐 frustrating that the first thing everyone says is "oooh bet you're pregnant!" When all I want to do is scream I BLOODY WISH!! 😂

AdrianaWeatherwax · 21/06/2017 10:47

It's rubbish when people say that when you're trying :-(

It sure does sound like a good symptom though! Fx!

EMHW123 · 21/06/2017 10:59

Jeeze @Clacton that sounds very promising!!!

Good luck for tomo!

So we've not got off to a good start- flashing smiley and we were in the pub instead of in bed shagging 🙈 ah well tonight it is!

@McTufty picked up those supplements will see if it makes any difference... ive a sneaky suspicion there is something wrong with my progesterone level....

McTufty · 21/06/2017 11:17

clacton

I agree it's so annoying! I've had about 5 messages since we were married saying "pregnant yet?" I know people are joking but FFS!

Good luck with the POAS, let us know!

EMHW

I hope they help! Why do you think you have a problem with progesterone? Are you going to go to your GP, I think they can prescribe stuff to help?

Clacton · 21/06/2017 18:04

Just done a test (which I know is late on in the day), another BFN.

Surely it would show by now if I was? I'm now 8 days late. Not even sure where I should go with this now! Doctors? Or will they tell me I'm being stupid like last time I went in because my period didn't start for 4/5 months after I'd had my implant removed....😤😤😤😤

To be honest, I used to be one of those people until a good friend of mine was TTC and had had a couple of miscarriages. Now I don't bring it up with people until I know they are expecting.

@EMHW123 does the pub not have toilets 😜🤣

AdrianaWeatherwax · 21/06/2017 19:22

Was it a pink dye test or a blue one Clacton?

LimpLettice · 21/06/2017 22:07

If GP says you're stupid, Clacton, change. That's a shitty response. I'd really think 8 days late would be a BFP, but everything I read says who knows.

Long lecture from visiting parentals tonight about my weight (12-14 at 40) along with worrying DP might get fed up and run off with a younger model. Disguised as worrying I might have problems at my terribly advanced age and they don't want to see me hurt. I know they mean well but ffs.

McTufty · 21/06/2017 22:35

clacton definitely go and don't be fobbed off! If you know when you ovulated it is odd for period to he so late I think. Usually where periods are late it's due to late ovulation as luteal phase pretty constant (I think)

limplettuce omg why would they be so horrible? Even if well meaning, you don't need that. 12-14 isn't even big. Why on earth would he run off? Ignore them Flowers

Cherylttcagain · 21/06/2017 22:56

Clacton, you could always ask for a blood test to see if they can give you a BFP, good luck!

Omg Limp... 12-14 isn't large! They're hurting your chances by stressing you out! Grrr!

How's everyone doing in this crazy heat?! I'm feeling a bit sorry for all of you who are BDing in it! Kinda glad I have AF visiting this week (gotta find the positives) :/

LimpLettice · 22/06/2017 07:21

Ach, they mean well really. I have gone up a dress size this year, I'd like not to have but it's always been a non issue for me and I think they worry I'll just keep going. And no, he won't, of course! I think it's a cack handed way of suggesting I not get hopes up for #2. Idiots really, but my idiots. Was fuming when I went to bed but over it this morning.

Heat is way too much for me, it's been vile, so glad to see a grey sky this morning!

AdrianaWeatherwax · 22/06/2017 07:42

limplettuce that sucks but I understand. My parents are exactly the same. Makes you rage but you know it's coming from a good place at heart. Of course DP won't leave you! Smile

And yes, it's too fucking hot. Even up here in Scotland.

I agree with the others Clacton don't be fobbed off.

KubaLeebre · 22/06/2017 08:54

EWCM - do you OV that day or the day after, on average?

DTD early yesterday morning, EWCM this morning, OH away til tomorrow night. I've probably missed eggy, haven't I?

☹️

McTufty · 22/06/2017 09:06

Hi kuba, no I think some people have their last day of EWCM the day before O.

But don't worry anyway! If you have ovulated today then you DTD yesterday so that's fine. I saw on an australian fertility charity site (just so you all know how much I've been googling shit!) that chances of conception if you have sex on the day of ovulation are 33%, if you have sex the day before its 31%. So either way, you're in with a shot!

Mrsjones17 · 22/06/2017 09:18

@limp that's pretty awful of them not really what you need. You could polity remind them that the UK national average woman is a UK size 16!! X

EMHW123 · 22/06/2017 10:40

@LimpLettice Jesus Mary and Joseph. Parents eh! My dad is a big fan of "eh you been on the take aways again chat... looking a bit round in the face..." 👊

@AdrianaWeatherwax Hello fellow scot! 🙌 so not used to this heat-I'm daaaan saaafff!

@McTufty loving the facts! @KubaLeebre
Defo not missed it!

Hiya @Mrsjones17

@Cherylttcagain oh my god shagging in this heat is rank! Loving your positive vibe ☺️

@Clacton how are you?

EMHW123 · 22/06/2017 10:41

Also we got a sweaty shag in last night.

Another flashing smiley this morning. 4 days.

I reckon I ov Friday..... we are away for the weekend so sexy time it is!

LimpLettice · 22/06/2017 10:51

First day of digi opk today. Nothing obvs but satisfying to have a good reason to poas. Ha. Think it will be next Friday.

All the sweaty shagging making me giggle. Do it in the shower. Or the paddling pool if your fences are high enough :)

Haha MrsJones. They have joined 'Fat Club' and have lost a few pounds each (both rather much larger than I and the national average) and gone all evangelical. Think they were just jealous at my home grown strawbs and cream while they had sugar free jelly. Bler.

Mrsjones17 · 22/06/2017 11:04

@limplettice eugh!!!! I hate that! It can turn so personal! Just ignore if you can! Also first time POAS for clear blue digital is always negative for me no matter where I test in cycle!

We had to have a sweaty DTD past few days! I oved yesterday I think so hoping we have done enough! Fingers crossed!

Cherylttcagain · 22/06/2017 23:13

Kuba, there's still a chance you caught it :) My fingers are crossed for you!

I'm jumping on my hubby tomorrow, first day of BD for cycle 2... I'm excited :D

LinzLinz · 23/06/2017 00:54

I've been DTD the last few nights and had EWCM....... let the 2WW begin!

EMHW123 · 23/06/2017 07:29

Another flashing smiley and lots of ewcm this am! Will try for 3 days in a row ( we are away for the weekend) hope I get a static smiley later today or tomo!

@LinzLinz do you normally stops shagging at this point? Do you know you've ovulated?

@McTufty is that right about ewcm? Interesting!

McTufty · 23/06/2017 08:27

emhw happy shagging! I think I read that about EWCM but basically people should ignore anything I say because I've read so much crap I can say I read literally any explanation for anything somewhere!

linzlinz you've earned a rest! Are you using bbt to confirm ovulation?

Good luck this cycle cheryl!

Clacton · 23/06/2017 13:14

Sorry to just be catching up. Been a bit emotional the last couple of days. Not because I got BFN but because it's an indication my body is very messed up. Anyway, I'll book in with doctors for when I can and see where I can go from there. Currently 10 days late!

@LimpLettice I completely know what you mean about others suddenly becoming preachers when they have lost a little weight. And I think it's important to have goals and dreams and not just dismiss them just because they are hard to achieve! Keep with your dream of #2!

@KubaLeebre good luck! Sounds like you caught it at right time so here's hoping! Remove pg tests from the house now for the 2WW!

@EMHW123 Enjoy your weekend away! Anywhere nice?

@LinzLinz fingers crossed!!!

How is everyone else doing? Need to hear more positives today as I am literally an emotional wreck ha ha (not ha at all....)
