Just once. I'm incredibly lucky my best friend lives there, it meant I only paid my flight out. I had the most amazing time and did a fair few of the tourist attractions too. My next visits are just to visit for a short break and then the following trip has been planned a lot longer so my husband can go too.
You should definitely book a weekend away if you can. We all deserve a break.

@Aph413 oh im soo jealous lol u must miss her tho

OP posts:
Aph413 · 30/04/2018 11:08

Definitely miss her a lot. Lucky for facebook and the like we can keep in contact easily.

Took another test today. Obviously negative. Lucky for me they are just the internet cheapies

thisisouryrfx18 · 30/04/2018 12:38

@Aph413 yh thats the great thing with skype etc at least u can actually see one another when u speak. The waiting really sucks fx for 2morro and a bfp i done an opk this morning and it looked even fainter than yest soo annoying still no sign of my clearblues either. Hows ur tempetatures been with the ovusense?

OP posts:
Aph413 · 30/04/2018 13:27

Here's my ovusense chart. I've still been plugging my data into fertility friend and it seems to think my temperature is nice and stable and is like 37% of pregnancy charts which is surely a good sign.

Hopefully the clear blues turn up soon. Are you still doing twice a day or have you upped it to 3?

@Aph413 my clearblue came woohoo im really too excited about this lol thats a gd sign, my temps seem to be a bit more stable past couple of days since ive been doing them at the same time and the same way. But i ll do my clearblue tonite fx its a positive ive been testing twice a day do u think i should up it to 3 lol

OP posts:
Aph413 · 30/04/2018 16:50

I upped mine to 3 because morning and evening wasn't catching it. I'd happily do 4 times a day if I thought I'd catch my surge.

thisisouryrfx18 · 30/04/2018 17:14

@Aph413 true maybe al start tomorrow off work for a couple of days neway so makes it easier. The waiting is really killing me this month feel like its dragging in. Do u ever look at EDD calculators? Lol

OP posts:
Aph413 · 30/04/2018 17:41

12th January if this one sticks Blush but 25th December by last period.
That's a yes lol

thisisouryrfx18 · 30/04/2018 18:04

@Aph413 i do it all the time aswell lol i look at chinese gender predictor calendar aswell put in anyone u know who has a kid and it always gets the gender right its soo weird lol

OP posts:
Aph413 · 30/04/2018 18:53

Maybe it's just my family lol. Chinese gender predictions didn't work on anyone I know

thisisouryrfx18 · 30/04/2018 21:07

@Aph413 really?! The one with the chart/table worked with my whole family lol maybe it was just luck i mean it is 50/50 odds haha

OP posts:
Aph413 · 30/04/2018 21:20

Very true on the odds. I checked all 3 of my sisters kids are they were all wrong Grin it's fun either way. If I conceive now I'llhave a girl.

thisisouryrfx18 · 01/05/2018 07:22

@Aph413 i know sumbody soo determined to have a girl she was checking it all the time lol she did end up having a girl tho very lucky. At this point i dnt think id be fussed either way like i saidOH wants a boy so id b happy he got what he wanted but girls stuff is just soo cute! Boys are funny tho the stuff they get into my nephews love anything with guns knives or violence crazy ! But then a little girl to go on shopping sprees with would b soo sweet lol

@Aph413 what do u reckon with this chart does it make any sense to you? Not gonna lie just learned how to take a screen shot of it me and technology are not the best of friends lol

@thisis Must admit I can't make any sense of it. I can only assume those extra spikes are from taking your temperature at different times?
I've attached one of mine and my temperatures were all over the place too. I gave up tempting so didn't actually manage to find my ovulation

thisisouryrfx18 · 01/05/2018 09:34

@Aph413 from everything ive googled it says its a rocky chart (urs too) but charts are soo confusing arent they? Think ur supposed to have a slight temp dip before ovulation then a raise in body temp is that right?

OP posts:
Aph413 · 01/05/2018 09:37

From what I remember that's right. And then you need 3 raised temperatures to confirm ovulation. Fertility friend told me if you're taking them the same time every day and they're still rocky then to take your temperature vaginally in your next cycle

thisisouryrfx18 · 01/05/2018 11:59

@Aph413 yh thats what i started doing past 5days i think..i just take my temp vaginally everyday now tmi haha oh well out for a little lunch today i need to try and keep busy im obsessing soo much about ttc this cycle.

OP posts:
thisisouryrfx18 · 01/05/2018 12:00

Meant to ask did u test this morning or are you leaving it for a couple of days?

OP posts:
Aph413 · 01/05/2018 15:35

I managed to avoid testing today. Quite proud of myself. Hoping to make it to the weekend. I'm super obsessed too. Got a large amazon shopping basket of supplements ready to order next week if I need it

thisisouryrfx18 · 01/05/2018 16:32

@Aph413 thats some gd self restraint id b testing if i was u lol ive used 3of my clearblue opks already done one last nite one this morning and one literally 5mins ago all negative uuuggh

OP posts:
Aph413 · 01/05/2018 17:18

Pretty much having to sit on my hands to avoid it but I know it was so negative yesterday there's no point checking today.
I find as long as I get straight up in the morning to the loo I manage to forget to test

thisisouryrfx18 · 01/05/2018 17:47

@Aph413 yh i do the exact same if im trying not to test pee first thing then convince myself fmu is away it wnt show even if i was pregnant..its gonna b a looong wk for us both im waiting on positive opk and ur waiting on bfp to b fair uve got it worse. R u working up until the weekend?
