@KatBeCool - definitely not patient! Although just been hit with a stinking cold and horrible diarrhoea today 😳 so not the symptoms I was looking for! How about you?
That is great they have put you on thyroid meds as at least you know that won't be a problem now.
I can't believe that about your friend, thank God she didn't listen to them!

@Bettyhop yay!!!! That's such good news 😍

@MrsC87 sorry you have been feeling down, we have all been there. ❤️

@Delilah7 - I had the same today, what is that about?!? 🤷🏼‍♀️💦

KatBeCool · 19/09/2018 23:16

@FlapJackered I'm very sore somehow, especially my legs. Not to add my boobs. I hope you feel better soon!

Delilah7 · 20/09/2018 06:30

@KatBeCool @FlapJackered @Crossfitgirl nope she certainly hasn't. Mines normally abit looser for the day after but not three days after 😂😂I'm symptom spotting stop me!!!

@rosti welcome :) xx

@Delilah7 hah, you're asking a wrong crowd to stop you. We all need counseling on that topic. As long as you're not peeing on sticks daily, you're still sane 😂

Delilah7 · 20/09/2018 06:47

@KatBeCool I'm not, thank gosh. I've given up hahah next time I'll be peeing on a stick is after AF or if she isn't here!

Morning! Yet another flashy smiley today! Cd12, usually ov on cd17 but was certain it'll be sooner this month due to less stress and the flashing smileys coming far sooner than last month.

No sign of ovulation, no pain or anything.
I NEED to get my positive smiley by Saturday at the latest, so we can DTD on the day of ovulation before DH goes away again!!

I have a theory, that I have actually missed ovulation every month so far. before I tracked ovulation, my apps told me my FW was a week early.

Then since tracking with OPKs, we have only actually DTD on the day of the positive or the day after the positive. But if I'd actually ovulated more than a day after the positive OPK, we could have missed it! And we haven't DTD afterwards at all!

What if his spermies don't last that long, and we need to DTD on the day of or day AFTER ov so the egg's already there??

Hmmmm 🤔

Delilah7 · 20/09/2018 10:31

@Crossfitgirl oh babe. All this stress hey!
I woke up this morning with tons of stretchy clear Cm again which is confusing!!

cupcakesandglitter · 20/09/2018 10:49

@Crossfitgirl I hope you get your positive soon! Are you DTD anyway? X

@Delilah7 bloody hell, I really do feel sorry for your noonie 😂 are you making the most of it? 😏

I had a dream last night I was pregnant, but it wasn't showing up on sticks, just through a blood test 😂 I think I read on here or another thread that it happened so naturally I just HAD to have a dream about it 😭😭😭

sunshine1987 · 20/09/2018 10:53

@delilah7 have you tried another OPK? x

Delilah7 · 20/09/2018 11:29

@cupcakesandglitter it's going all over the place hahaha.

@sunshine1987 yes I haven't got another strong one since last Saturday and that weren't completely positive xx

OP posts:
Delilah7 · 20/09/2018 11:47

Just took @sunshine1987s advise and hadn't had any type of line on an OPK.

I now have this?!?!? So top one was my strongest to date which was Saturday.... now there's this?!? What is my body doing 😭😭😭😭 do I class this as a positive?!?

Oh jeez @Delilah7 poor you, that is confusing isn't it! I think it looks like your body is a bit unsettled after the mc so opks may not be very helpful as it looks like you may have multiple surges. You could start temping and that will at least tell you when you ovulate, so you know when you can stop Dtd constantly!

Delilah7 · 20/09/2018 11:52

@FlapJackered I won't have the commitment to do temping Hun if I'm honest which is why I haven't 😔 and I don't want to do that yet ( I probably will if it takes longer than an year or so to get pregnant again ). I'm just so confused!! Help me :( 😂

OP posts:
sunshine1987 · 20/09/2018 12:06

@delilah7 either your body geared up to ovulate and it didn’t happen and is trying again or before wasn’t a positive and you might be entering it now? Would test again later and see if it gets darker. The CM suggests you’re still fertile. Must be so frustrating 😔 x

Delilah7 · 20/09/2018 12:14

@sunshine1987 honestly Hun I gonna lose my marbles this cycle I think I'll DTD tonight, Saturday and Sunday. That's my plan anywho 😂😂 OH has to agree lol xx

MrsC87 · 20/09/2018 12:46

Thanks @FlapJackered
Can anyone help me with shaking this feeling of negativity that it's not going to happen or take years for us... l have tried to remaining relaxed but feel like a nutter this cycle 😫

cupcakesandglitter · 20/09/2018 13:02

@MrsC87 I'm exactly the same :( it's so hard staying positive. I'm more chilled out this month (not letting myself POAS or symptom spot) but I still get anxiety when I think about how long it'll take (if it happens at all). Sorry I can't help sweet 😩💕 x

MrsC87 · 20/09/2018 13:06

I think the worse thing is being told to relax and knowing deep down that really we should but it's the not knowing if it's even possible when it's your first.
@cupcakesandglitter it's comforting to know I'm not alone and can talk on here. I'm trying to act so cool around dh but inside I'm a worrier! x

cupcakesandglitter · 20/09/2018 13:09

@MrsC87 nope I completely get it - I'm happy to talk about it whenever too if you need to get it off your chest. DH told me a lady at work told him it took her three years to get pregnant with her first. I cried. On one hand if it takes three years that gives us time to save more and do more work on the house but also THREE PISSING YEARS?! Had I had known it would take long I would've started trying a long time ago, I'm ready now 😭

MrsC87 · 20/09/2018 13:18

I know, I spoke to somebody today who had given up hope as she had a failed IVF and couldn't afford any further treatment. 10 years it took her naturally to conceive.
I really don't wish to sound insensitive to those who have been trying longer, it is purely the not knowing....I wish I had a crystal ball for us all 🔮 @cupcakesandglitter

Delilah7 · 20/09/2018 13:20

@MrsC87 @cupcakesandglitter I understand the negativity too... I still feel that way and I'm cycle 4, :(

sunshine1987 · 20/09/2018 13:39

Girls remember though that you only ever hear the negatives, how many people do you know who fell pregnant within 6 months/easily/no issues etc. If you focus on that number that well outweighs the bad stories you here of so and so’s friend. Sorry I know I’m being blunt and it’s difficult to get out that head space but we’ve gotta keep with the positives 😘

sunshine1987 · 20/09/2018 13:40

Plus I’ve said it before but this space on the internet is so helpful in so many ways but also not as you see people fall pregnant daily but in real life you aren’t aware of that at all

KatBeCool · 20/09/2018 13:43

@Crossfitgirl if it's still flashing, you didn't miss it, it'd go to low if you did. The surge dies pretty quick.

@Delilah7 I had ewcm two days after the ovulation this month. Made hubby to DTD at least once. I was confused too, did some research, apparently it's normal. Your last test is negative, it's rare that it's completely white, so light pink is normal for a negative. Give your noonie some rest 🙂

MrsC87 · 20/09/2018 13:43

So true @sunshine1987 thank god your on here to keep us positive!
