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

[Frazzlerock]

Here it is! Our lucky one 🤞

That's normal though isn't it @Twittle? Or do they always pick up HCG?

I really want AF to come now as this metal mouth is so rank.
I'm only 10dpo (maybe 8dpo). What is a normal length LP?

Yeah Twittle I remember you were confused for a while.

Frazzle average/ideal is 14 days I think. Mine is only 10 though.

Okay so I could theoretically have this taste for another week then.
I know as soon as AF arrives it goes away. My body is such a freak.

Hate to say it but really think you have to DTD for couple more days maybe Kin just to make sure?

Frazzle yeah average is 14, usually anywhere between 10-16 is considered okay. I've a LP of 12 days. Implantation happens between 6-10 dpo.

Hi everyone, just catching up through... work is crazy busy right now. Also have been selected to compete in France at the end of Feb so trying to sort that out too. Exciting would rather be pg but still something to look forward too

Will post a proper post catching up later but just wanted to let you know I'm still here!
Also have metal mouth @Frazzle, never had it before my mc but now I've had it for the past 2 2ww. Fucks sake.

Just had this from one of my best friends. I love her but ducks sake 😫

I definitely didn't mean duck!!!

Uugghh, she does know what you've been through, right? Very insensitive if so

Yep. She was the first person I told about the baby (after dh of course). I'm not being over sensitive here am I?
Just taken an early lunch to go for a walk and pretend I'm not crying

Nope. She's a prick

@ratherbe sending you a big hug, I was crying yesterday. I thought I had come to terms with it and then all of a sudden it hits you again.

Oh Rather that really is bloomin tough! I am sorry, pretty insensitive. People just don't think at all. Well done about the Comp though, I guess that will keep you focused for now?

Could I ask for opk advice please? I have been using CB digital tests, the one that pinpoints your 2 most fertile days. But I am finding I get the smiley face and then that same day I get ovulation pains, which can be a bit late if we have to wait to bd that evening.
My cycle is so regular that I have only been using 1 or 2 tests per cycle, (I thought I wouldn’t bother testing earlier so as not to waste the tests, that’s my tight arse side showing) I bought one box in August and I still have 2 left.
I think the best time for us to bd is the evening before I get the smiley face (I use fmu), so that’s then based on guess work, which kind of renders the cb digital tests pointless?

@ratherbeshowjumping deffo a prick!!
Only a few of my friends and colleagues know (as my bfp and MC both happened while I was off with stress)... which I'm finding tough as noone is being particularly sensitive. Apparently I should just 'pop one out' now. I feel bad because they aren't being nasty and saying 'actually I had a mc' just makes them feel awful and they aren't being deliberately mean... so I stick to .... 'hmmm maybe' and cry a little inside.

I'm sorry @Rose68 I really don't know!! Maybe starting a few days earlier If you are going straight to smiley?? I think they are on groupon... do you use that?? I can send a link if that helps xx

It’s either a blank circle or smiley face, nothing in between

ratherbe I don't think you're being overly sensitive, that's a bit thoughtless of her.

Rose I'm the same, I think I'm over it and then something sets me off and makes me want to cry again.

Twittle I think you're right about continuing to dtd... we're both so tired though not sure we'll manage!

Rose I never see flashy smile either! I think it's because our LH surge is so sudden and short? This is why OPKs aren't reliable, they're just so different for everyone. I go from blank to solid smile then back to blank within 24 hours.

Thing is, even after a solid face or positive Opk, it can take up to 3 days to then acyually ovulate! Usually it's the next day for me (despite that morning getting a negative opk)

@rose.... worth an upgrade to the 4 day ones that goes to flashin smile too??

Oh JOY! The office is banging on about a new baby that was born the other day. So bored of it. It has been like an epidemic here for the past 3 years I've been desperate, for some reason the epidemic never reaches me. At least not for the full 9 months . I hate my office sometimes.
the heavily preggo one will be next, then I am sure there will be someone else next that isn't me.
I wish I knew what their secret was. It's like they have a massive private group that knows how to do it and I don't belong to it

Anyway, life is shit...

@Rose68 I'm not sure about that so I wouldn't be very helpful. All I know is you have up to 48 hours to catch the egg.
I have no idea how so many accidental babies come about.

@tigsy I would soootell them. Watch them squirm. It'll shut them up too. We should all be talking about MC, it is still kept under wraps so much and such a massive taboo, which I think is insane.

Thank you @Tigsy, yes, maybe I should get those ones, that explains why I never get flashing faces! What are the ones you are using that you posted a pic of earlier?

@Tigsy I would consider telling them for all the reasons Frazzle said, but you need to be 100% sure that you don’t mind everyone at work knowing. x

Thanks, I don't wanna rain on her parade at all, or think that I'm not excited for her baby as I truly, truly am. Just can't deal with that. It's completely set me off today
We've just had our new sofa delivered and is in bits and pieces piled up in the lounge, the house is fucking mess and I can't work until I tidy it yet I've got too much to do to spend time tidying, my boss has asked if I can meet a stakeholder for dinner tonight, I can't stop crying, works rammed... today can actually fuck off.

@Frazzle @Rose god knows how people "accidentally" fall pg. How on earth does that happen???

@tigsy in the mood I'm in today, I would 100% tell them probably would actually lock myself in the loos and cry

Thanks @Twittle I guess it's something to look forward to!
