@cupcakesandglitter you're stressed he needs to try understand that hunny. We over react when we are stressed. ❤️ I think I'm out too. Spoke to doctors she said she doesn't know what it could be but could be my period actually arriving soon which would be on time. :( I've bought some. They will arrive next week.

@Delilah7 definitely 😩 we're too similar so in arguments it doesn't ever get anywhere, just escalates. I don't think guys understand, I know he doesn't and won't ever feel the longing I feel!

If AF comes soon your cycle should settle after though, and when your OPKs come you should be ready to start again? Xx

@Crossfitgirl I'm only about 7 dpo. Totally knew it couldn't be positive but thought it might be fun and I have no self restraint.

I'll test again at 9dpo if AF doesn't show up.

😭 I'm in abit of a state. I'm in quite abit of pain in my tummy even when I walk on my right hand side. The nurse wasn't very helpful when I rang she just said it could be my period. I've had bad period pains and this is all in my lower back and lower right hand side. I'm really fed up this month of everything 😭😭
@cupcakesandglitter I'm just wanting to get this month or and fucking done with 😭😭😭

@Delilah7 tell me about it 😩 do you think it's AF coming, or does it feel different? Xx

@cupcakesandglitter I'm going to be honest and say probably AF ( which is good in the sense of if it comes next week it's dead on before ) but I don't know. I'm not a bad sufferer for back and blood taste in my mouth, but I am for period cramps. Xx

Hope you feel better soon @Delilah7 💕

...I cracked and tested as I found a clear blue test leftover from when I was part of their clinical trial...12 do and bfn....

Not sure how I feel I guess... Partly still hopeful as its possibly still early days....but also kinda resigned that it's not gonna happen this month, but that's also ok as it means that hubby and I have the go ahead to start investigations with the gp

@MrsM2017 keep faith could still be too early 💕 and if not after this you will start getting answers one way or another xx

Thank you @Delilah7 and @crossfitgirl ! And yes I'm hoping to avoid that ideally I'll regret the ivory dress in that instance haha

Thank you @Delilah7 😘 ... Keeping my fingers and toes crossed! How are you feeling this eve? x

@MrsM2017 abit are tummy wise xx

Sore*

7 dpo. Vomiting. Hoping this is a good thing!

Anyone due to test soon?

@ValidUser fingers crossed hun xx

@validuser oh dear! I hope you're ok?? Do you think it's pg related or just unwell? I have heard if your hormone levels are high enough to cause symptoms, they should be high enough to detect on a test... although i dont know! I have also read on a site that dpo does make a difference, and if youre only a few days dpo you may need to test a few days after AF is due! how long til you're due? I would defo test again in a day or two. Xx

@Crossfitgirl I feel very pregnant, I think. My boobs are huge. Had minor spotting a few days ago.

I'm also tearful and exhausted - not like my usual PMS.

Confounding factors here are uti and candidiasis and antibiotic.

Will try a FRER in the morning. I have a few. It's not too likely because this is cycle 1, but I'm ever an optimist!

I feel like AF is coming - but I know it's not iyswim? I feel very full down below if that makes sense? Xx

@cupcakesandglitter I just read through the last bit properly. STOP BEING SO HARD ON YOURSELF!!!!!

It's a tough time. Try and give yourself a small bit of a break and don't blame yourself 100% for the argument. He argued too.

Sending long-distance hugs your way.

Thankyou @ValidUser it's nice to have support on here 💕 xx

Seems like there's a few down days today... let's hope for a good day tomorrow ladies! You're all wonderful people who deserve the very best 😘

@daisiesandpeonies congratulations on the positive opk!!! 🎉it is such a good feeling when they are positive isn't it?! I ovulated on cd25 this month so we will have similar length cycles probably. Good luck with the Dtding!

@Crossfitgirl I was completely the same when I started temping but after a cycle i found it less stressful. Now I will wake up and test straight away and just go back to sleep. I will def give it up if I am pregnant but I think it is worth it for the info you get.

@Delilah7 Sorry to hear you are in some pain. I would definitely contact the doctor about it.

@cupcakesandglitter Sorry about your argument with DH. It is a difficult time and I think we have all had issues where our DHs have been less than understanding unfortunately! Have you spoken to him. If not I would try and speak to him to get it sorted? For your sanity.

Acht sorry for the bfn @MrsM2017 Although those CBs aren't too sensitive are they so may be a bit early 🤞🏻

I am 4dpo and got horrendously drunk last night so really doubt it is going to happen this month. Going to try and stick to one drink max for the rest of the holiday now! 😕

@validuser cycle 1 would be amazing! I'm sat here awaiting your FRER results! Fingers crossed xxx

@flapjackered I think I will stick with it this cycle, but probably give it up next cycle if it's stressing me out too much. Or i might get a different thermometer as the beeping is awful on this one! It's like an alarm clock! It sounds like a cheap plastic one i used to have before i had a mobile phone to use as an alarm!! Lol. I still feel stressed from it now and i took my temp at 5.50am! Is the natural cycles one quiet or a nice beep? I may invest. Lol.

Also, go and get drunk and enjoy your holiday :-)
I know what you mean about not wanting to drink after ov. I reeeally wanted one last weekend but I was so convinced it was my month, I resisted. Then AF came the next day! My friend also got a BFN, then got wasted, then found out she had actually been pregnant but tested too early! Her baby boy is 3 and fine.
I'm personally on the fence - if I did drink then found out i was pg, I'd worry, however I think we all need a break and to allow ourselves a treat, and if I didn't have one or two, I think conception would never happen! More relaxed, and impaired judgement = more sex = baby!!
In conclusion I think one or two is totally fine.

@cupcakesandglitter we all have stupid petty arguments, I am sure we've argued over "not what you said, the way you said it" type things all the time! I sometimes find that even if I wasn't in the wrong, just saying sorry for upsetting the other person or overreacting etc usually sorts it right out, and I feel better straight away as we are good again. Have you made up yet? Let us know how you go :-) as hard as it is to admit, we need those morons on our side 😂

@mrsr16 well said, here's to a fab weekend for all of us!

BFN on FRER!

Tbh at 8 dpo it wasn't exactly likely to be positive.

I'd like to pretend I'll wait until Monday and see if AF comes, but the reality is I'll probably test again in the morning.

I may be obsessive but as the youths would say, that's me doing me. 💃🏻

Morning all! Just catching up...sorry some of you had some tough days yesterday. Its an emotional rollercoaster. Fingers crossed for some good news for everyone. Love for @cupcakes and @Delilah7

@Flapjackered like @Crossfitgirl girl said, its too early to make any real difference. I have had a few drinks during this 2ww.

@MrsM I caved and tested twice this week! Both bfn. No sign of AF which was apparently due yesterday. I think I'm going to hold off testing until tomorrow now.

@ValidUser that all sounds promising! When are you planning on testing again?

In other news I tried to satisfy the POAS urge this morning by using an OPK and got a faint line. But can't get my head round whether that in any way means anything.
