The July 19ers - STILL never beaten, and rocking our FJs for a lucky thread

[Frazzlerock]

Here it is! Our lucky one 🤞

Oh Rose you never know though. FX for you still. I didn't get BFP with last pregnancy till 12dpo!

Oh @Rose there is still time, we are only 10dpo. you may not even have implanted yet! I know it is not useful getting your hopes up, but still... FWIW I feel exactly the same re being the last one left, it does worry me, but none of us know. Besides, we will all be here for whoever is still waiting, no matter what. My personal feelings are, that person can be as shit as they want to me if they need to because I know how hard it is to want something so bad and how it messes with your head and makes you resent everyone no matter how happy you are for people. If I'm last, then I like to think I am safe to be a twat to everyone because the bottom line is, that person isn't me, it is my desperation screaming out.

Yay @tigsy for ov! What's the test looking like today?

@Kinsters same for you, you may not even have implanted yet if you are preg. In the immortal words of George Michael... You gotta have faith.

@Prosecco I hope AF finally shows up properly, how annoying for you!

@awakeatnight hey! totally cool you are watching and not saying much. This group is for all of us to do whatever the hell we like. I wondered the same about GP, I wasn't offered anything and wouldn't know what to ask for.
I wish I'd done something in the 6 weeks I have waited for results to come through.

@BettySwoll0cks wowzers, that's a lot of the red stuff. I gave 16 vials of blood after our 2nd MC and everything came back normal! Except my egg reserve which, thanks to PCOS and virtually no AFs for so many years since puberty, came back the same as a 21 year old. I'm not sure how useful that. I have shit loads of eggs but they are now 39 years old... .
Sorry, that sounded a bit 'Top trumps' re amount of blood given, not meant to be! I was just empathising

I'm feeling a bit shit about sharing my news yesterday with a group of close friends, plus my mum and sister. I may as well have mentioned that I am wearing trousers today instead of a skirt. That news was huge for me. Maybe I expect too much. One friend (from the close friends group) did message me privately and noticed that no one really said much and convo moved on immediately so all is not lost. It does make me wonder about the friendship in that group. They all moan about their problems all day everyday and I always have something to say or try to help. but when I have some huge news it's kind of ignored.

Oh well, this is why you lot are so amazing!

I have a temp dip this morning so not holding out much hope for next few days. Gone down to 36.76 which is still way above coverline and in line with my preg cycles, but those dips really get you down don't they? Or is that just me?

I am 10 dpo and I have never had a bfn at 10 dpo and been pregnant, so I know there is no chance. It’s what I expected but there was still that tiny bit of hope and it still feels shit.

Great news about the opk @Tigsy.
@Frazzle thank you for your lovely words.
@awakestnight lovely to hear from you!

I must dash, really need to sort house out for estate agent photos at 12 😩

Oh Rose that's what I thought with previous pregnancy! All before that I was getting BFP by 8dpo (why I am a POAS addict). It's hard because you know if you're hopefully then you are lining yourself up for a fall.

@betty... boo for the bfn
If u know your body and that means that’s it for this month if I was you I’d crack open a bottle of wine tonight and make the most of the next 10days or so 👍🏼

@twittle would you be far enough along for a CB digital to tell now? I think I like it being spelt out! Lol!

So... DH and I had a MASSIVE row last night right in the middle of sex!!
He is convinced it’s onkt for baby making because I’m not making my usual effort... which is true but neither is he! Last night his foreplay was ‘I’m going to do you... after I’ve ironed this shirt because I don’t want to get up any earlier!’ Now my DH has a thing about making me ‘O’ first (usually not a problem!) but last night all I could think about was the lines starting to appear on the test and I wasn’t in that place.... cue him STOPPING(!!) to argue with me!! Went to sleep unfinished :( I’ve been raging about it all night so decided to wake him up with me giving him a hand which meant we finished the job... but now I feel really pissed off and can’t say it because I drew a line under that with a shag this morning!! 😡
Anyway... ANOTHER high day (fucks sake) but I think the OPK I did is reasonably strong (not positive yet I know) but does it mean anything if it’s ALMOST positive??? And I used FMU which I know isn’t recommended??

Ffs I’ve done it again @rose not Betty!!

I think that's positive isn't it @Tigsy? But yes, I have read not to test with FMU. Try again this arvo or this eve?
What about your temps?
Sorry about your row But glad you got a BD in as I'm sure you are oving!
Have a chat to him tonight, taking it in turns to listen x

Yes Tigsy that looks positive to me. FMU is only not recommended because normally the LH surge starts during the day so if you only use FMU you're more likely to miss it. With the strong a line I'd be testing at lunch time if you can and in the evening as well.

I've got quite a strong line on an OPK as well (though not as strong as that) so think we might have to keep bd'ing. I don't know why I'd be getting a strong line on an OPK supposedly 5dpo if I'd actually ovulated 5 days ago. I'll test again tomorrow morning and hope its gotten lighter.

Attached a pic of my OPK (the ring trick works great!). It's not quite positive I don't think but pretty close?

@Kinsters I'd say that's a positive too so maybe you're still in your fertile window? Or coming to the end of it?

@frazzle my temps.....
All over the show!! 🤒

@kinster still looks strong... but I’m a novice so I’d just scroll on past me!!

I’m going to take my pee pot to work ( just about to leave to start my 5 hours!! 😂 Boss was ok but her boss - the one who likes to ask if I’m going to carry on trying - is RAGING!! 😂) and I’ll do another around 2 and another around 6 👍🏼

Hopefully your temps will shoot up tomorrow Tigsy, I wouldn't be surprised if they do with that OPK - or maybe the day after tomorrow 🤞

Frazzle I hope I'm not still in my fertile window! Don't think DH can handle more bd-ing! My CM, temps, symptoms and OPKs really haven't lined up at all this cycle. Makes it so difficult to know what's going on.

@Kinsters well... 5dpo you say? Dare I say that I understand OPKs can detect HCG?

@v I have no idea! I think we need @twittle on this one!

@v = me pasting @tigsy

Frazzle I already did a test and its 100% stark white negative. I'd think an OPK would be less sensitive than a pregnancy test. I can't lie and say I'm not wishing that were the case though!

oh yeah...

Do you know you deffo ovulated? Are you still testing because you're not sure?

Btw everyone 3 for 2 on First Response tests in Boots right now

Back to me!! 😂😂
Sorry! Lol
So I’m going to be late for work..... because THIS arrived!!!!!!
Ignore the bbt that’s mine I used to compare the temps make sure they are accurate... seem to be 0.1 out on everyreasing but I obvs don’t know which is wrong... as long as it’s consistent I’m guessing should be fine?!

I'm not 100% confident that I ovulated yet. FF gave me dotted crosshairs and my temp rise is not totally clear plus my sleep has been really broken. I'd hoped this OPK would be really negative then I could feel more confident o had happened when FF thinks it did.

Ooo exciting Tigsy let us all know how you get on with it! Does it connect to a computer?

Yes you can plug it in to a computer or you can see the results and graphs on the screen

ahhhh you got it tigsy!

kin that's what my cycle was like if you recall? I couldn't work it out. I think we both just have tried to ovulate, failed and then looks like ovulated later on?

Speaking of OPKs.... I could resist peeing on one to see what it would come up with... came up negative despite a very clear positive today on FRER

Exciting it's turned up tigsy !
