Congratulations @AnnaMC214 what a lovely line!

cupcakesandglitter · 30/01/2019 08:43

@MrsMcNtobe I see the line! Have you done a FRER? X

@MrsR16 glad he's realised!! It's a shame you've missed your peak but hopefully he kicks the smoking/drinking and his swimmers will be healthier next cycle! Xx

@AnnaMC214 lovely line, congrats xx

@FlapJackered how are you getting on? Xx

@KatBeCool you okay? Xx

I've been hit with extreme tiredness and hunger as of yesterday, trying not to overeat or nap 😂😂 xx

@MrsMcNtobe blue tests are notorious for evaps, stick to FRERs to be safe!! When's AF due? Sorry if you've said it before x

OP posts:
MrsMcNtobe · 30/01/2019 09:05

@cupcakesandglitter AF apparently due Saturday so I was sure I would have had a BFP by now this month was the one!

cupcakesandglitter · 30/01/2019 09:11

@MrsMcNtobe was it last sat sorry or this sat? And also some women take a while to get a positive so don't count yourself out yet x

OP posts:
MrsMcNtobe · 30/01/2019 09:14

@cupcakesandglitter sorry chick it’s this Saturday coming! I’m going to try not to test again for a couple of days x

thumper59 · 30/01/2019 09:18

@MrsR16 hopefully he'll of realised now!

I'm making a new aim to not test early at all this coming cycle 😳 let's see how long that lasts😂

starkid · 30/01/2019 09:19

@AnnaMC214 - congratulations! Yay still getting more BFP's this month!! Smile
@MrsMcNtobe - there's still a chance, sorry it was a BFN but still plenty of time for it to be, lots have said they didn't get their BFP til a few days late xx

cupcakesandglitter · 30/01/2019 09:21

@MrsMcNtobe oh okay, you've still got plenty of time 😊 fx for you x

@thumper59 I've not bought any tests for that reason - I spent a lot of money on them last month 😂😂😂 I wont encourage you to test maybe

OP posts:
DuchessofPemberley · 30/01/2019 09:32

@AnnaMC214 congratulations! That's great news, you must be delighted 😀

@MrsMcNtobe I steer clear of Clearblue for that reason, but you're not out yet. It's horrible not knowing one way or another Thanks

thumper59 · 30/01/2019 09:41

@cupcakesandglitter haha I went to boots the other day and picked up another box of FRERs 😳. It's so hard not to though isn't it 😂 ok maybe a couple of days before...

BabySquid · 30/01/2019 09:54

@AnnaMC214 many congratulations hun that's a beautiful looking line.

So AF, to say she only started properly Sunday afternoon, she started heading out yesterday morning, not had a great deal yesterday and today! I wasn't even due till tomorrow and my right boob is hurting and I have the odd light cramping!! 🤯 why is there not just black and white guidelines for AF?!!!

MrsMcNtobe · 30/01/2019 10:15

@thumper59 @cupcakesandglitter FRER are in the 3 for 2 at boots! I just stocked up 😂

KatBeCool · 30/01/2019 10:47

@cupcakesandglitter I'm 5dpo today. Constantly hungry. I had a good-sized dinner yesterday, an hour and a half later I was starving, like salivating at the thought of food, which is the only thought I had, hunger headache coming on (I get those), literally suffering. I don't like this one bit. Maybe you did ovulate after all? How are your temps?

@AnnaMC214 congratulations! That's a lovely line.

BabySquid · 30/01/2019 11:01

@Crossfitgirl you know you said you had an IB but thought it was af starting... was it as heavy as af or just spotting? How long did it last?

FlapJackered · 30/01/2019 11:02

@cupcakesandglitter hi lovely. I have been crying all morning as I went away for the weekend with DH and left a lovely Tiffany necklace my parent's gave me for my 30th in one of the robes 😭 I have rung them and they say they can find it. I am so upset. They are double checking but it is not sounding good. 😭 I feel so stupid for leaving it there. I am not sure if insurance will cover it or not as I left it there? Going to try later. In a way I just want to order another one and try and forget I lost it in the first place but I will know it's not the same one and it is over £200 when I could do with spending that money on other things (probably like supplements, opks and hpts) ...gutted.
Not feeling many symptoms except usual pms and a bit of cramping which is very normal af symptoms for me. I just have a feeling it's not happened this month unfortunately. How are you feeling? What are your temps doing now?

Massive congratulations @AnnaMC214 that is a great line!! 🎉🎉🎉

@KatBeCool when is af due for you?

cupcakesandglitter · 30/01/2019 11:11

Omg @thumper59 @MrsMcNtobe you're such bad influences 😂😂 I'm going to be a hermit this weekend so there's no way I'm going to a boots!! X

Sorry AF is still being a pain @BabySquid - she's so unpredictable 😂 id like some guidelines too!! I think CrossFit's started as spotting if I remember right x

@KatBeCool that's what I have too, and it grumbles embarrassingly loud! Apparently in the TWW it's really normal to be hungry/tired but I'm a lot hungrier than I remember!! My temps have been literally up and down, so I don't know what's going on 😂 I kind of want AF so I can get back to the gym properly xx

Oh @FlapJackered I'm so sorry to hear that, remember when I lost the brooch? I can completely relate, it's such a horrible feeling! I've left things in hotels before and housekeeping usually put it to the side so fingers crossed they've got it!! Temps are up and down, im pretty sure it's not happened for me either - apart from being stupidly hungry I feel nothing whatsoever. Ready for AF now 😂😂 apps are predicting I'm on around CD34... annoying because me and DH have time booked off then too 😩 you going to do your soy iso next month again? Xx

Yes ok Snapchat.... No need to hammer it in!

Entered the fertile window today and I'm receiving cosmic reminders....

AnnaMC214 · 30/01/2019 11:44

Thanks everyone! ❤️❤️ Wishing you all lots of baby dust and hopefully next month will be just as lucky xx

@Lozzlepop
I had zero symptoms of either af or pregnancy until I got some spotting around when af was due. I thought I was out but it was really light and stopped after 2 days so that's when I tested. The last few days symptoms have been coming and going but most consistent have been sore boobs, being super tired and needing to pee constantly (even more than usual)!

FlapJackered · 30/01/2019 11:50

@cupcakesandglitter they found it in the hoover!!!! I am so happy!! I even prayed to the patron saint of lost things (not really religious at all 😂) and it turned up! Now considering whether I should go to church a bit more 😂 I do remember your broach! That turned up in the end too didn't it?
Being hungry is definitely a pms symptom for me too, insatiable appetite at the moment!
DH doesn't want me to do the Soy Isoflavones again as I was so over emotional on the days I took them, I felt like the world was ending 😂 buuuut I think I will try them again just for one more cycle! They have helped my skin too I think, which can't be a bad thing.
So will you test on cd34 (that's 3rd feb is it?) I think I will test on 4th if my temp hasn't dropped by then, I am sure it will though. It did dip a bit today which doesn't bode well either.

KatBeCool · 30/01/2019 12:03

@FlapJackered the soonest it's due is the 6th. I'm crossing fingers that HSG made my tubes extra clean and shiny and this is a good month for me.

@cupcakesandglitter I can hear the grumbling from my stomach right now! I know I gained weight since ttc. I could deal with the grumbling and the hungry feeling, but the headaches and migraines are killing me if I don't eat within thirty minutes of getting hungry.

@Jessikka that's funny! 😂

cupcakesandglitter · 30/01/2019 12:05

Omg @Jessikka 😂😂😂

@FlapJackered yes!!! Thank god 😂😂 keep it safe now!! Yeah I found it, I'd hidden it in my beret 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I'd take them again for another cycle - on the plus side once you stopped taking them you weren't as emotional were you? He can put up with it for a few days, he does want a baby after all 😂😂 yeah it's the 3rd - I'm actually thinking I might wait until the 4th Ish, I'm not buying any tests and actually I'd rather not test early after last month. I've had a bit of AF type cramping the last week so I think she'll turn up before then. How quickly does temp drop before AF for you? Xx

cupcakesandglitter · 30/01/2019 12:06

😂😂 @KatBeCool same here, that's why I need the gym 😂 fx the HSG worked wonders and you'll get your BFP!
