Oh god lmao in the airport. If you get a BFP this month using the stork I'm going to crowd fund one 🤣

TwittleBee · 20/03/2018 12:22

Lizzy I think the point of this thread is we can give a bit TMI and show our crazy sides (like spending too much money on tests and strange devices!) Hope it works and have a good birthday too!

Lizzysmi · 20/03/2018 12:51

Thank you :-) it is too weird that I'm already planning what I'd say in a thank you letter to the manufacturers if it does work?

Glad I found this thread!

R7589 · 20/03/2018 16:47

This thread has me in stitches during a really shitty day at work!

Don't think I can convince my hubby quite yet to get Stork at that price. It's hard enough trying to convince him to get the CBFM. I'm only allowed to use the cheapie OPKs altho I branched our and got some digital clearblue ones.

Been proper symptom spotting for Ov as I'm on Cd11 - had cramps in both sides of pelvis today. Quite worried I'm gonna ov late this month! Probably nothing and I will go home tonight and get a positive opk.

BDFT · 20/03/2018 17:59

Right then ladies, today's offering for the 'most ridiculous symptom' trophy is:

The first two songs I heard on the radio this morning had a higher than usual use of the word 'baby' in them....that's a sign right?! I'm pregnant?!

(And surely the fact that the second one was ' Hit me baby one more time' isn't a problem...?!)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Blondcat · 20/03/2018 18:17

He he that is brilliant the songs have to be a sign.
There are so many 'signs' for me this month but strangely I don't have to sit on my hands this month not to test as I am for the first time since ttc convinced this month is not my month for a bfp so just patiently waiting for af. Can't say that I will be so restrained next month Grin

Tefiti2 · 20/03/2018 20:12

@R7589 would you eligible for the Clearblue clinical trial? I’m doing it just now and lucky enough to be using the fertility monitor.

R7589 · 20/03/2018 21:41

@Tefiti2 I'm on the 2nd cycle of the trial in the control group - so not even allowed to use my digi's or my cheap internet ones yet!
I was kinda gutted but it stopped my POAS obsession for 2 cycles....

R7589 · 20/03/2018 21:43

@Tefiti2 Posted too early! I didn't even do an cheapie opk tonight as hubby reminded me I'm not allowed to while on the trial. Bit of a relief but at same time annoying trying to second guess the other symptoms

TwittleBee · 21/03/2018 08:11

R7589 bloody hell that must be tough though not being allowed to POAS or use OPKs!

thisisouryrfx18 hope Drs app is a success for you

I'm on CD27 9dpo AF due Fri/Sat.

BFN this morning and BBT dipped way down this morning too so guessing body temp getting ready for AF.

Tefiti2 · 21/03/2018 08:49

Oh no @R7859!! Is CM a good indicator for you with OV?

TwittleBee · 21/03/2018 16:29

Got pain in tummy, I would liken it to round ligament pain I had with #1 but it is early for that isn't? and not holding hope after BFN even if I am only 9dpo

How has everyone's day been? Been lovely weather here!

R7589 · 21/03/2018 18:00

@thisisouryrfx18 I'm alright - on cd12 so should be ov today if not tomorrow do fx! How are you? Hope your docs app goes well.

@TwittleBee It's been annoying for OPKs. They ask you to do a pg test on specific days but I was already out by that point. Still had to do a test mind you to show i def wasn't pg.

@Tefiti2 it is some months, some not so much. No idea why. Just trying to judge it and dtd every day - hubby defo isn't complaining! Wink

Thanks @twittlebee fx for ur bfp..@R7589 bit fed up tbh feel soo bloated today af really doesnt want to go away uuugghh need to get docs appt cant face it tho..feels like defeat..anyway have u and OH been dtd?

R7589 · 21/03/2018 19:10

@thisisouryrfx18 doesn't sound great hun! AF can be a real cow sometimes. Just get yourself ready for next OV - plenty of rest and relaxing. I have to admit feeling bloated is the worst part of my AF. I'm lucky enough not to get bad cramps.
Yeah we have been pretty much every night since cd6. First month using fertility check fertility gel so see how it goes. The things you do for a baby eh?

BDFT · 21/03/2018 19:40

Girls I need to make an important announcement!

Just in case any of you were thinking of using radio playlists as confirmation of pregnancy I need to report IT DOES NOT WORK!

bum.

Anyone else going to be avoiding next month due to Christmas babies? 😔

TwittleBee · 21/03/2018 19:48

BDFT oh no has AF turned up?

We were considering avoiding it. Especially how in in the 2 weeks either side of Xmas we have 8 birthdays in our family and EDD for next cycle would fall right on sister's birthday... But can't bare the thought of not TTC.

Blondcat · 21/03/2018 19:55

@BDFT sorry to hear the radio didn't predict your bfp.
I am too old to take a break to avoid Christmas baby Shock.
Still waiting for af imminent arrival so nothing new to report here.

BDFT · 21/03/2018 20:27

Oh bless you both its so hard isnt it! We also have family birthdays right when our EDD would be for December so as hard as it will be I think we will just npnt next month. I can't bare not ttc at all but I will not be so clinical about which days we need to dtd.

In all (af annoyance and intolerance) fairness, how dare other members of our families have birthdays at all?!

🤣🤣🤣

R7589 · 21/03/2018 20:44

@BDFT aw no! Sorry to hear AF has showed - she has a habit of that eh? And how inconsiderate of the radio playlist!

I spoke to my hubby about an Xmas baby or there abouts cos our EDD would be on or around the 19th (ha why do I even want to know that yet??). We are still trying this month and if it happens great if it doesn't we move onto another cycle.
I also have birthdays in both families in December - how utterly rude 🤣

Owlpatrol · 21/03/2018 20:49

Hi girls not reported here much as been writing in the bus. I'll be 9dpo tomorrow and testing early on an ic test. Yes it's ridiculous but on cycle 16 next month and so I only use ic's as spent way too much on frers in the first 6 months so I don't bother Now! I don't think I'm going too crazy this cycle yet. I've been stuffing my face with chocolate in this tww to help!

R7589 · 21/03/2018 20:56

Hi @Owlpatrol chocolate always helps no matter where in the cycle! I have my fingers x'ed for your BFP. ❤️

BDFT · 21/03/2018 21:11

Ooo fingers crossed for you @owlpatrol! Hope you get your bfp!

Thanks ladies, we may still try next month, I guess it will come down to how we feel at that moment of no return.... whether at that moment are the other family birthdays important enough for us to avoid!!
