@LuckyKitty13 my OH seemed quite disinterested until yesterday when I told him I thought my period was coming and he seemed quite sad about it. Mind you, he's lovely so I didn't feel like I'd let him down.

He does say a lot that I read too much and put myself under too much pressure but I think he gets it's hard not to!

No period as of yet and his birthday and our holiday next week so hoping good things come in 3s xx

I don't want to say he's disengaged... But he always finds it hard to engage with something that feels a long way off. He was the same buying the house. Practically involved but not emotionally so.
He's researched scientific evidence on parenting and looked at what he should do with his diet to aid conception. Now he's quietly waiting to see what happens and trying to be supportive.

Delilah7 · 06/06/2018 07:49

Awaiting doctors to open. Very nervous. Know what it'll be but I guess I'm still holding on to it... x

Well the good news is that I can drink on holiday...
OH actually looked a little disappointed, before saying "well it would have been ridiculously efficient to do it straight away." I love that man.

I completely understand @Delilah7. I really hope you get a positive result. Xx

LuckyKitty13 · 06/06/2018 07:56

@ChaosMoon he's a keeper! But sorry to hear it's not the news you want, here's to next month!
@Delilah7 we are keeping everything crossed for you

Delilah7 · 06/06/2018 08:11

@LuckyKitty13 @ChaosMoon
Next month Kitty! Glad OH is supportive.
Thanks ladies. I'm so convinced it won't be - only doing that as I know when she says it I'll be so disappointed x x

Girls I'm so sad. My period came. Onto month 8. Feels like forever. Gutted today 😪

Delilah7 · 06/06/2018 10:19

@buntingandstarcharts I'm so sorry lovely. How hard x x

@buntingandstarcharts so sorry to hear that. Sending you love and hugs.

In terms of DH interest...Mine asked how my ovulation was going the other week which made me laugh.

Has anyone had their predicted AF dates move out in Flo when updating CM? Mines moved out three days now and I’m now wondering if ovulation was the dates it predicted and worried I may have missed it. Also don’t want to have to wait another 3 days on my 2WW :-( xx

Delilah7 · 06/06/2018 11:27

I'm not pregnant. 😭

@Delilah7 and all the ladies, so sorry to hear your results :( Please make sure you take some time to spoil yourselves or do something nice, you all deserve it. Fingers crossed for next month! xxx

About my OH I've tried not to involve him in all my neurotic testing and charting, although he knows I do it, I don't want to stress him out. I just mention to him that I've got a chance of getting pregnant in the next 5 days and let him pick when he wants to go for it. Plus he does shifts so he'll be more tired at different time of the day to me.

So I've been trying to do these OPKs this month. I was predicted to ovulate on Sunday. Fri and Sat I had a line but still not positive then by Sunday it was gone. So no idea if I ovulated but I hope so. We BD on Friday so hoping that's worked. I feel very not pregnant right now so far.

Delilah7 · 06/06/2018 13:29

@CookieWaffle thanks lovely. Xxx

ChaosMoon · 06/06/2018 15:12

Crap. I'm so sorry ladies.
@CookieWaffle has the best advice. Time to spoil ourselves. I for one plan to eat huge amounts of rare stake, blue cheese, and all the other things I will (hopefully) have to forego in the next year!

Here's to next month then. We will make this happen for all of us!

Delilah7 · 06/06/2018 15:17

Don't lose faith ladies. It's coming. Watch this space ladies... time for the fun part 😏

Good work @MrsLStone.
@Ladybug82 I have my fingers crossed for you! Pregnancy symptoms are so similar to AF symptoms, so you never know.

Delilah7 · 08/06/2018 07:19

MrsA89 · 08/06/2018 10:50

Sorry to hear about the negatives ladies 😞.
AF is due somewhere between 13th-16th and I’m getting symptoms so assuming I’ll be getting negative too.

Xx

AmyLouise94 · 08/06/2018 14:16

Another month, another Bfn. AF isn't due till tomorrow but pretty sure I would of had a line at least. Had a little cry with the partner but keeping my head held high and staying positive for July
