Anybody else? I'm on CD16, pretty sure I ovulated over the past day or two, now for the long frustrating wait to POAS! Why is it so hard to resist for 14 measly days?!

We are TTC #2 and this is our first cycle of trying.

Hi ladies,
How is everyone? Sorry I've been so quiet this week. Just attempted to catch up, and it looks like there'll be loads of testing this weekend. Sending you all lots of luck and positive energy 💖💖💖💖

cupcakesandglitter · 26/09/2018 18:01

@Fae1989 oh it isn't restraint 😂😂 I made sure I didn't pack them because I have two FRERs left!! I knew if I packed them then they'd be used by now 😂😂 I did pack OPKs though whoops

I have a clear blue one too, but not digital - just the blue dye ones. I've not taken it out of the seal though because I've heard such bad things about blue dye tests. I don't know what to do 😭😭😭😭

BP123x · 26/09/2018 18:04

Sorry ladies trying to catch up and not miss any of your messages!

@fae1989 the depo does muck you up but generally only until your first 'proper' bleed so hopefully i'm on the right track now. Are you due to test over the next few days? Please do keep me updated!!

@cupcakesandglitter nice to e-meet you! I'm SO with you.... how do you stop yourself... i even found myself doing a P Test yesterday afternoon (day 25) knowing full well that it was the afternoon, trying to stick the stick into a dribble of pee!!! ha ha ha!!! Grin

@Chikitiki - so sorry to hear about your car that really sucks. Hopefully you will have some good news soon that will make up for it.

Wishing all you ladies lots of luck over the weekend full of testing. Lets hope that one of us can bring back some nice news for us all xx

Hello everyone!

Age - 28
TTC #1
Cycle #2

5 DPO - AF due 6th October, planning on testing around that date, if I can hold off!

cupcakesandglitter · 26/09/2018 18:17

@BP123x hi 😊 'e-meet' 😂 I love that!! the expense 😂😂😂 I cant afford to literally keep pissing my money away 😂 xx

BP123x · 26/09/2018 18:23

@cupcakesandglitter ha ha ha #pissingmoneyaway #babymakingdrama

cupcakesandglitter · 26/09/2018 18:24

@BP123x 😂😂 pretty much sums me up right now 😂😂 xx

ChikiTIKI · 26/09/2018 18:38

Thanks for the kind comments about my car situation :) it's just a major inconvenience really. As long as there isn't a major problem with the insurance cover then I won't be annoyed or upset though.

I think we were probably dtd when it was stolen!! Haha. Can't really tell anyone that in real life!

I'm glad you're all here :) all your BFPs this weekend will definitely cheer me up! Xxxx

cupcakesandglitter · 26/09/2018 18:43

Welcome @feverbee xx

@ChikiTIKI omg 😂😂 just a heads up, insurance can drag a bit until they find the car xx

MummytoA20 · 26/09/2018 19:05

Hahaha! Pissing my money away! That's so funny and so true!

Wishing everyone all of the luck this weekend. Part of me wants to hold off to test and part of me wants to clear Asda of FRER tests. This next week is going to be the longest in my life. It's nice to talk to people who understand, my husband thinks I'm absolutely crazy and can't understand why I can't just wait to find out the natural way.

Positive thoughts to everyone ❤️

LottieB87 · 27/09/2018 08:51

Good morning everyone! Ahh I've missed loads!

@Fae1989 aww, thanks for the sweet words. You're right about those unicorns!

@BP123x I really hope the flashies do turn out to be a good sign! It does sound like you're on track again now. Are you going to test this weekend?

@ChikiTIKI oh my god I'm so sorry to hear about your car!! As if you needed extra stress right now! Well, if this month is your BFP at least you'll have an interesting story to tell!! Hope it gets sorted quick xx

@cupcakesandglitter LOL!

@feverbee Welcome!

@LondonKez hope all is good with you!

@MummytoA20 we're here for you, obsess all you like! Men don't understand!

So, for some reason I took my temp again this morning. It's gone back up? Normally for me temps are stable until 11dpo, have a small drop at 12dpo (which I did), then 13dpo it drops again to +0.1 / 0.05 above the coverline. By 14dpo / CD1 when AF is in full swing it's below the coverline. Not sure what to think. Definitely a BFN on a FRER yesterday at 2am. But depending on when I ovulated I suspect at that time of day, it could have been more like 11dpo. I've attached my chart of latest 3 cycles - blue is current cycle.

I decided not to do another FRER this morning. Although I think it's just a fluke, the temp rise put me in a good mood and I didn't want to ruin it with reality - I need all the help I can get the day before AF (today), I get horrible PMS - become almost a different person, the world caves in and I become totally unreasonable! Feeling ok because of that one temp - how silly.

TWW begins...stop me POAS every day!
LottieB87 · 27/09/2018 08:53

(p.s. the dotted line means I wasn't temping everyday which is why it's bizarrely stable this cycle after O)

LottieB87 · 27/09/2018 08:54

(also the temp at 7dpo wasn't real, I added it to get the coverline data)

KnobJockey · 27/09/2018 09:41

Sorry to hear about your car Chikitiki, that sucks.

Felt a bit weird yesterday, had period cramps and a bit of pink spotting. TMI here sorry, but we had DTD so no idea if I also had lots of discharge or natural consequences! Bit of both is my gut feeling.

So I'm (probably) about 8dpo at the minute, poas this morning which was negative. But, I've got to say, I wouldn't be surprised if I get a positive this month. I just feel...weird. a bit off. Not poorly but not right. We'll see I guess! By this time next week we should know for definite either way!

LottieB87 · 27/09/2018 09:41

Might have posted this before but I'm posting it again because it makes me feel good!

KnobJockey · 27/09/2018 10:03

So I just went to the toilet to discover that the pink when I wipe yesterday has evolved to bloody knickers today. Not heavy, but definitely more than a spot. How strange.

Also how strange is how quickly I'm talking about knickers and mucus with strangers but hey ho!

cupcakesandglitter · 27/09/2018 14:32

Sorry to pop in without reading everything but it's just a quick one. Ate a sandwich (tuna if it makes a difference) and then when I sort of licked my teeth I had a STRONG metallic taste in my mouth, like lead. Never had this before. Is this false hope? 😭😭😭😭

KnobJockey · 27/09/2018 15:26

@cupcakesandglitter how on earth are managing to restrain yourself? March yourself down to the next shop and find out if your upduffed! 😁

I appear to have jinxed myself, as I'm pretty sure AF is now starting 6 days early. The spotting is fast turning into Flo! Typical!

cupcakesandglitter · 27/09/2018 16:05

@KnobJockey okay so I actually tested last night Blush BFN. Haven't tested again with FMU actually... im too scared too tbh 😭

You're not out until AF comes!! Fx for you xx

MummytoA20 · 27/09/2018 17:18

@cupcakesandglitter That sounds really positive! Everything crossed for you!

Girls, I don't really understand much about cervical mucus.

I'm on CD 23, if I'm pregnant what should I expect it to look like?

Thanks x

LondonKez · 27/09/2018 17:33

@cupcakesandglitter sounds good, hope you get your BFP this month! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@LottieB87 eek... that sounds promising! When is AF due?

CD10 for me. Isn't it funny how quickly the first 2 weeks flies compared to the 2ww?

MummytoA20 · 27/09/2018 18:02

Hi girls,

I can't believe I'm writing this but I've just done a FRER test 5 days out and got my BFP!! It's faint but definitely positive.

I'm absolutely delighted. Hoping the same luck for everyone!

Lots of love xx

TWW begins...stop me POAS every day!
