My Update:
TTC #2
Cycle 9
CD 7
Currently waiting scans & tests to find out whats going on with AF, pain & other bloomin horrid symptoms.

FX for everyone with this thread. Baby Dust to all and happy BM

@italianwifey that sounds very annoying, I was two days late the other month and stupidly got my hopes are. If you are going to test use a FRER with fmu and then you'll know. I'm not one for talking out of testing unfortunately... I will try and be a sensible person.. wait until AF is a week late then test

Thanks @daisymay25, maybe I’ll give it a few more days.... talking to my friend she was like just take a test but I don’t think I can face another negative I’d rather just wait for my period! Maybe if by Saturday Sunday I still haven’t come on I’ll give it a go!

@italianwifey, if you give it another day or two and still no period then if it is positive the line will be nice and strong so no doubts! Sending you lots of positive vibes!

I've just signed up for the trial, hopefully I'll be accepted and get on ive already mentally spent the reward voucher haha

@IsAnyoneElseMissingCheese the clearblue trial?

Haha @isanyoneelsemissingcheese I did that too! Just gotta send all the extras back now then I get my voucher! I just find it so so weird I’m
Never late...

Yeah the CB one, sounds pretty straightforward! I hope at least haha.

I'm never late either, I used to get really worked up if it didn't arrive on time (pre ready for a baby days!) Now I can't wait to be late haha. Combining this voucher with my yearly epic nectar double up (got £130 worth of free stuff last year!) Im hopefully onto a winner!

@IsAnyoneElseMissingCheese I did it a couple on months back, I was in the control group. Was pretty straight forward. Didn't use opks for the two cycles and just peed on sticks and sent it to them when they requested. The vouchers are currently in our baby fund jar (lame I know haha)

@DaisyMay25 we ve got a baby fund jar too lol ive been ttc for soo long now its gettin quite hefty i was saying to oh should we just go fuck it and spend it on a treat, thatd b when we d get pregnant i bet

Not lame at all @daisymay25! I love having jars for things. Currently I only have 'free' money saved up. Loyalty bits etc, it's a slight obsession mainly to prove to DH that having them is worthwhile but when we had DD1 I paid £2.49 for the Tommy tippee steriliser/bottles/warmer kit thing and he was amazed haha.

@IsAnyoneElseMissingCheese i luv collecting vouchers aswell lol i always watch that prog what is it called again..extreme couponing or sumthin and wish i lived in america they get stuff for free and money back crazy! Oh well im working til 10pm tonite fun way to start the wkend uuggggh

@thisisouryrfx18 I know the one, love that show!! I think it would fast become a crazy obsession if I lived in the states haha! Love that a lot of them give it all to charity too :)

@thisisouryrfx18 I LOVE extreme couponing!! Haha!! And extreme cheapskates is also hilarious!! Haha!

I wish we did coupons like they do over there! I'm bad enough though, I can spot yellow stickers from the other side off the store... DH gets annoyed that I won't buy anything that's not on offer too haha

@IsAnyoneElseMissingCheese yh u think more actual charities would use them @Cakelaur extreme cheapskates is hilarious did u see the one she was feeding her bfriend catfood n saying it was tuna😂 @DaisyMay25 me too lol or i bulk buy if its on a deal i get called all sorts for it lol

Ready for throwing the towel in. Just had a blazing argument with dp... he just couldn't climax . Then we couldnt get our friend to get excited again so just left it there . End result was I'm not going to tell dp I'm ovulating he's saying there's too much pressure , he's away down for a beer there and to watch tv whilst I have a cry . Still no static face on the Cb digi. Day 11 of flashing faces and ov cramps . I'm cd 21 now :( ... needing some words of wisdom and or comfort lol 😐.. seems the chem preg/early miscarriage last month has done a number on me . Feeling so sad.

@lolacola13 i ll b honest its alrite everybody saying guys are like woohoo we get to have loads of sex but its not fair to expect them to b able to perform on demand. Not judging but id go and give him a hug and tel him its not his fault u sound like u need one aswell hun x

Yes we've both simmered down just a little snappy at each other earlier . he doesn't want to know when I'm ovulating in future and I agree it's a good idea., he also admitted it was him putting more pressure on himself than me I try to only mention in passing. We very seldom argue so a little bickering session today was enough to just upset us both . Onwards eh! Just a wee bump in the road . I'm sure We're not alone, I think we're both still a bit upset about the early miscarriage last month more than we're letting on , my best best friend is pregnant AGAIN and a close family friend gave birth a few weeks ago. It's been a tough month . On the plus side I just downloaded headspace after seeing some mumsnet chat about it! Xoxoxo

@lolacola13 I’m so glad you brought this up as me and DH had a similar convo a few months ago. We literally got to the point he was putting pressure on himself (and maybe I was by accident!!) and decided from now on that is it I’m nog talking to
Him about any opks or temping etc... tbh after this month I think I’m just gonna try going it without anything as for me personally think it adds to all the stress! Hope
You’re both okay maybe take it easy for a few days xxx

@thisisouryrfx18 OMG!! Yes and the one where the woman feeds her mates out a dumpster and the trash and they just think she's odd!! Hahaha!! And the woman who bakes lasagne in her dishwasher!! 😂😂 it's litterally my favourite program!! Hahaha

@lolacola13 I'm so sorry Hun, your OH is clearly gutted and is dealing with it in his own way. Not telling him you're ovulating is a good plan. Try not to take it personally and try to avoid making a big deal as it might get worse for him. You need to grieve. Maybe have a date night without baby talk and just try to get the balance back. Lots of hugs to you and your hubby.

@Cakelaur tbf I saw this dish washer one and thought it was genius! The dumpster one is not for me though..,

@HidCat yes I agree we need a date night no talk about ttc etc I'm gonna keep my opks to myself IF I EVER OVULATE don't know what's going on this cycle must be the chem pregnancy last month I got to 5 weeks plus 1/2.., but my hcg drooped v v quick so no reason why I'm not ovulating? I'm cd 21 now usually ov on day 17.. any ideas? Getting strong lines but not quite as dark or darker .

Sorry all been a little busy this week so catching up on all the messages!

@lolacola13 sorry to hear you had a bad evening with your oh- hugs to you both. I am also feeling that with two baby bombs already this month 😩 it is just so frustrating.

@thisisouryrfx18 @DaisyMay25 such a great idea! Definitely need to start a baby jar asap 😊

So I have never had a positive opk as yet but now starting to test twice a day to see if it makes a difference. How many tests do you guys do per day?
Currently on cd13 and faint lines on opks...

@SoBoredOfWaiting i only started my jar recently with the £100 vouchers I got from the trial but I guess it's a start. Me and DH decided each month we'll put some money in and it'll be used to buy stuff like nursery furniture and a peak and stuff, clothes and little things I know family will help will so it's nice to save for the big stuff.

I'm terrible though when I see baby clothes in the sale I look but I stop myself buying and having a box of stuff (as tempting as it is) just in case it tempts fate!

Thanks @SoBoredOfWaiting I usually will start seeing some darker lines around day 15/16 then peak on day 17 . Cd 21 here and no peak yet 😩. Cycle is all over show from v v early miscarriage three weeks ago. I have reached a new level of insanity folks and have started convincing myself that the reason I'm not seeing a peak is because I ovulated earlier after the. CHem pregnancy .., and that I could be pregnant 😂🙈. OFFICIALLY LOST IT
