Here's to a positive summer for us all!

Congratulations @SoBoredOfWaiting!

@thisisouryrfx18 I'm so sorry things are tough for you and OH. This road can be so trying at times just try to remember that you're both doing everything that you can and you will get through it.

@thisisouryrfx18 sorry you're arguing babe. I had a massive blow out with my OH back in October. I went away to Dubai for a week, came home we DTD a few times and fell pregnant that month (we lost that one in Jan) but similar thing this time. We had lots of meltdowns (from me) and crying sessions about the MC and him not wanting to try as hard. Then we decided to just give it all we had. We DTD 8days in a row during FW and then we just relaxed. I knew we'd done everything we could and we enjoyed the marathon and tried to make it fun. And that was the month we got our bfp again.
It's mega hard to get into that mind frame. The boys defo seem to not perform as well under pressure. So I didn't tell oh when I was ovulating. We just agreed to DTD for 8 days straight. I of course knew those 8 days were perfectly timed. Haha. It is stressful, but remember you're in it together and you love each other. So if his SA is worrying him, talk to him about it. Either way to know if there's a problem is better than not knowing. And there's usually loads they can do to help. And worst case ivf is an option if maybe he has low motility. But remember you're both on the same team. Sending massive hugs. I've been there. And come out the other side and you will too. Your baby is coming! I promise. Have you tried SMEP? Maybe it will take a bit of pressure off, but then you both know the deal and can have some fun it with?

Congrats @SoBoredOfWaiting that's a great line.

@Cakelaur thanx for completely gettin it hun we dnt normally argue, feel like i blew up big time over something and nothing. Its just frustrating all this waiting about for tests n test results, we do love one another soo much..my heads just all over the place dnt know if i should stay off here for a while

@thisisouryrfx18 you have to do what's best for you babe. The most important thing in all of this is you and DH. So maybe take some time out. Even just a month. And spend time together. And just "give up" for a month. And have sex when you actually want to and maybe let him instigate or book a trip away. That way it's not all about ttc.

Also... extreme cheapskates has new episodes this morning!! Haha

@SoBoredOfWaiting congratulations what a fantastic line!!

@thisisouryrfx18 sorry to hear you'e been arguing, it is tough - @cakelaur has some really good advice there, maybe take some time for the two of you and enjoy each others company, and dtd when it feels right and you want to. Hope things get better for you soon.

@Cakelaur i know ive tried the relaxed approach still didnt get me newhere lol i think a trip away prob would do us gd tho..ooh need to watch that for some light relief haha

Morning everyone. Congrats @sobored!

@thisisouryr18 sorry to hear the stress levels are super high. Maybe that weekend away would be good?

My period is due today, took a cheapy sainsbos test this morning that said no. I can't even imagine a line there, there just isn't one!

Another negative today, on a test that said not pregnant so no room so ambiguity! Still no period though.

How's everyone today?

@IsAnyoneElseMissingCheese did u test again? X thanks @TheMagicTorch @Cakelaur @HidCat and anyone else i missed yous girls r soo supportive❤ Congrats to everyone who got their bfps this month!

Thank you all 😊 and big thanks for being such a support as always. I will stay on this thread to check in every now and again!
Sending baby dust to all xx

@thisisouryrfx18 I didn't test today, I haven't got any left that aren't for trial. Still no period though. It's weird because I'm usually 28 days like clockwork, I'm now 2 days late.
I'm hoping that maybe this cycle was just longer and the negatives were just too early to pick up the hormone? If it doesn't show up in the next couple days I'll nip out on my lunch break on Fri and grab some tests from the boots round the corner.
Are boots own brand any good? Haven't used them before.

Hoping everyone else is quiet because of good news?

Sending positive vibes out to all

@IsAnyoneElseMissingCheese i think its quiet cause most ppl got their bfps this mnth lol feels like its only us left ! Any og girls left? X

@IsAnyoneElseMissingCheese Hi just wanted to say I bought Boots Early tests last month - wasn't pregnant anyway but the ladies on here suggested they weren't any good as your levels have to be higher to detect hcg! They had frer on buy one get one half price though....🤞🤞

@AngelMiracle thats gd always like to hear bout a bargain lol

Thanks @angelmiracle I hate wasting money but love saving it haha! Still no period so I'll nip out tomorrow and try get that bogof, it's just odd now that I've had two negatives but 3 days late
Well unless everyone is just recovering from the football @thisisouryrfx then we may well be the remaining few!

@IsAnyoneElseMissingCheese i think we are! Oh well OH handed in his specimen for SA today and they said we should have the results by nxt wk which is great less a wait then we thought

Awesome, glad it's a quick turnaround, there's enough waiting as it is without more! Fingers crossed for you that you get the answers you need x

Oh well looks like my af has finally fucked off cd9! It was alot lighter this mnth but soo drawn out..on another note neone else got heat stroke lol

Still no period for me, 4 days late now but I did take a test today and still says negative. No idea what's going on.

Will probably have heat stroke this weekend although it actually rained here today!

@IsAnyoneElseMissingCheese dnt know if i askd u before but do u use opks etc? Do u have irregular cycles? Its v strange isnt it? And frustrating! Ive had it happen a few times aswell x

Finally getting to my drag show tonite cant wait! My friend was talkin me into it during the wk do u know what fuck it i need a pick me up lol

@thisisouryrfx18 sounds like it will be a good laff and probs just what you need after the last few weeks of testing and results. Enjoy and have a great time

Thanks @MrsV2018 im trying to look out sumthin totally over the top to wear fake eyelashes and a shit ton of glitter is needed aswell of course ! Lol by the time im done theyl think im one of the acts😜

Evening all, I'm still at work and absolutely manic busy but stole myself 5 minutes to sit down!.

Period showed today, not usually irregular no, quite the mystery! Using test stuff at the mo, when I'm off trial I will start using other opks - which would you recommend?

Have fun tonight @thisisoiryrfx18!! Sounds like a brilliant night
