Hope you’re all ok, sending love and good luck vibes to everyone today 💜

@ValidUser fingers crossed bfp will show up clearly in a couple of days. You gotta stop peeing on sticks so frequently 😂

@stormtrooperjulian it looks dry. If you waited more than ten minutes, those tests get significantly darker so it's hard to tell if it was positive within the time limit. If not dry, the test line is slightly lighter so your within hours of positive, so you can consider it positive.

@Delilah7 hugs! You'll get through it. It's impossible to always be in a good mood, especially when wanting something so bad. You're doing great. Most important thing here is not giving up.

ValidUser · 15/10/2018 23:27

@KatBeCool but peeing into the toilet with no stick involved is so much less entertaining!

KatBeCool · 15/10/2018 23:29

@ValidUser haha it's a lot cheaper though!

ValidUser · 15/10/2018 23:44

True!

Delilah7 · 16/10/2018 06:31

Still a flashing smiley 😩
I should have ovulated yesterday so yet again my body is crap and I am going to have a longer cycle. It's so upsetting, there is no obvious medical reason why I should be so irregular. Not feeling great this morning, I am just so fed up of this.

Delilah7 · 16/10/2018 07:21

@FlapJackered I feel you babe. I know I haven't ovulated yet but not using sticks so I know I'm going to have a shit cycle too :(

FlapJackered · 16/10/2018 07:31

@Delilah7 I am sorry your cycle is going to be rubbish too.
It just feels like every cycle is different for me and they are all long which is not ideal for getting pregnant. DH and I had a chat yesterday and have decided we will try for 2 years and then accept that we won't have any children. I agree with it as I find all this ttc really hard and I couldn't do it forever, but having a time limit does make it hit home.
Sorry self pitying rant over. I am seeing the doctor today to talk about my scan and my cyst so I can blub to her.

Delilah7 · 16/10/2018 07:37

@FlapJackered let us know how you get on. It's not self pity it's how you feel and it's important. My cycles have just been crap since MC so x x

I'm so frustrated, still no AF 5 days late and a BFN. I clearly ovulated way later than normal, which would mean we basically missed DTD at the right time. I found it so much more relaxing not testing and temping but I'm clearly going to have to as I obviously missed O this time. I haven't had a cycle this long for a year.

Delilah7 · 16/10/2018 08:04

@Lougg I was the same last month hun which is why I know I've not ovulated yet. Gonna be a long cycle. AGAIN. :(

OP posts:
Lougg · 16/10/2018 08:07

@Delilah7 it's so annoying, I thought not testing would reduce stress but somehow it's led to my longest cycle! We booked a holiday next week thinking that would be my FW but clearly I'll ovulate way later now. Boo!

Remind me where you're at in your cycle currently?

gjchapman · 16/10/2018 08:08

@MrsR16 thank you. Yeah me to :(
@Delilah7 thank you And you.
@FlapJackered that's what I fear rejection and it feels like it when he says no, I know it's his right to not be in the mood but I'm willing!!
Feeling a bit better as we did the deed last night so just a few more to persuade him to do 🤔

Delilah7 · 16/10/2018 08:09

@Lougg that sucks hun!!

I'm CD15. Flo said I'd ovulate CD13 which would probably be my normal date on 28days or CD14. However I haven't had any CM or pains and that didn't come last cycle till CD19 I started getting the CM! x

Lougg · 16/10/2018 08:12

@Delilah7 is DH feeling better? Hope he's well enough for some BD.

I think we'll hope to try SMEP this month. I'll tell DH to prepare himself!

Delilah7 · 16/10/2018 08:39

@Lougg he's still coughing but we managed to BD last night. Only twice in the last week but he's been unwell and it's made me very tired as his coughing keeps me up! So I don't mind tbh! 😂

So good news from the doc is I am ovulating! 🎉 also that 6cm cyst is actually 6mm 😂 - stupid scanner man needs to be careful with slips like that. I have been looking at the satsumas on my fruit bowl all week thinking and worrying 'that's the size of my cyst!' - although 6mm is still not considered small apparently, it is MUCH better than I had imagined! They are going to check it again in March.
So there is no reason for my irregular cycles which I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. 🤷🏼‍♀️

sunshine1987 · 16/10/2018 09:56

@flapjackered oh gawd imagine saying 6cm instead of 6mm, no wonder you were worried. Really good sign if they are going to wait until March before looking again, means they aren’t worried xx

rosti · 16/10/2018 10:00

14dpo, AF was due today. Made myself wait until this morning. I am in utter disbelief but at the same time feel like I knew it. Except I kept suspecting it and then thinking 'nope, there's no way'.

The only test I had was an expired (April 2017) Boots one (middle) and so I had to run and get more and not let myself get too excited. This is pretty conclusive, right? It's my day off today so I'm going to go and get a lot now and pray for a sticky bean.

Good luck to all of you lovely ladies and thank you so much for your advice and emotional support. My fingers are crossed for all of you!

Sorry for long post!
