Morning @LikeTheFruit !
It's a possibility, 🤞 for you.

LikeTheFruit · 18/02/2019 05:24

And you @BostonFern going to follow your lead in trying to hold off testing until late.

BabySquid · 18/02/2019 06:31

Morning all, I'm feeling like many of you on here right now and bored of the TWW already!!
I'm only on CD23 and 4dpo 😒
I said to my hubs that if this isn't our month then I'm going to lie to the drs and say it's a year, it's close enough this is c10!

LuckyPenguin · 18/02/2019 07:28

@BostonFern - that really is an early start!!! I'd need a nap halfway through the day! 🤣

@Lemonysherbet - oh I'd be so annoyed!! Has it not backed up on some cloud somewhere??

I'm CD22 now. 6 DPO. No real symptoms if I'm honest other than a sore loser back. I'm trying my best not to go too crazy this month - so I don't get disappointed again!

Have a gorgeous Monday & Keeping everything crossed for everyone! Xx

Lola871 · 18/02/2019 07:42

Now on CD37 and a BFN this morning, so I guess that just means my cycles are getting longer, so that's kind of frustrating I guess as I don't know when to expect my period! Longest cycle in the last 8 months has been 36 days until now.

thumper59 · 18/02/2019 07:43

Morning everyone.

CD22 and 4DPO. The wait is so boring.
I am exhausted today already, could just do with another hour or so in bed! I hate waking up on a Monday tired. I don't ever remember being this tired though! Will be fine once I'm at work and hit the ground running.

Do we have anyone testing today? Good luck if so! X

BabySquid · 18/02/2019 07:50

Feeling really emotionally drained today. Just had a cry because I can't keep getting my hopes up to have them smashed month on month.
Cycle 10 is a serious struggle. I don't wanna go to work I just wanna sit here and cry.

starkid · 18/02/2019 08:23

@BabySquid - aw sorry you're feeling so down. Definitely see if you can make a doc appointment xx

BabySquid · 18/02/2019 08:26

@starkid thanks, I don't think there's any point just yet, they're not going to do anything until af comes and they know I'm not pregnant this month.

TrashKitten10 · 18/02/2019 08:45

@BabySquid So sorry you're feeling rubbish :( It must be so hard keep getting your hopes up and then feeling disappointed. Could you make an appointment now for after AF should have arrived? Then hopefully she doesn't arrive and you get to cancel it, but if she does show you've at least got something booked in and can feel like you're moving forward in that respect. Or maybe your doctors is better than mine and you don't have to book about four and a half years in advance :)

@Lola871 Do you use OPKs or BBTing to know when you ovulate? My cycles have always been a bit wayward and between 30-40 days and my BBT and non existent CM are hard to analyse but I feel trying OPKs this month has at least given me a better idea of my cycle and when to expect AF.

CD23 and 1dpo here. It's half term and DH has taken today off work so we are heading out for a nice walk :)

Lozzlepop · 18/02/2019 08:51

Happy Monday, just catching up on all the weekends posts, hope everyone had a great weekend!

@ValidUser must be such a weight off your mind!

@LuckyPenguin that sounds amazing Drool lol

@BostonFern hope you enjoyed your duvet day, we had a semi lazy day yesterday after an impromptu night out on Saturday. Im currently CD32 😒totally feel the same with it being the second month off the pill and not sure what my body is upto.

@MrsAW2018 so sorry to hear AF turned up take all the time you need lovely!

@BabyTrain89 welcome back!

@Lola871 I feel your pain with random cycle lengths its so frustrating 🙈

AF is predicted tomorrow but apart from a bit of bloating and a sore back I feel ok. Been so tired all weekend, how is it Monday again already?

DayDreamer1707 · 18/02/2019 08:56

@BostonFern I haven't been sleeping good lately and I actually felt like AF had come early last night but she hadn't.

@Lola871 oh I am sorry to hear that, makes the waiting around even worse. Hope if AF is on her way she hurries up for you x

@BabySquid I totally agree with you about lying to the doctors, there is no way they will know how long you have been trying unless you have said something to them previously. You never know though, you are only 4DPO and this could be your cycle. Now come on, chin up and kick ass today, YOU GOT THIS x

I am currently on CD21 and 11DPO, AF is due on Weds/Friday so the spotting can still begin at any moment! I shouldn't be this scared of going the loo!! Keep checking my cervix like its going to tell me something too ha. OH got quite emotional last night (not crying or anything) but we was led in bed watching TV and he just randomly said 'I really want a baby, I can't wait to be a dad' 😍. I want to be able to tell him it worked this time soooo bad x

BabySquid · 18/02/2019 09:22

@DayDreamer1707 I think I just need to change into my positive pants haha I've taken the day off work to get back into the right headspace.

@TrashKitten10 I might get an appointment but what would I say, I wanna book an appointment just in case?

Lola871 · 18/02/2019 11:04

Hey guys, just a quick post for opinions, I decided to try a different type of test (because, why not right 😂) and there is a thin faint line on it, I think it's too thin to be a positive and am counting it as another BFN so will wait a couple more days for AF now before doing any more tests. I've attached a picture but I'm not sure if it's visible in the pic 🙈

TTC FIRST BABY - Thread 13!
Lozzlepop · 18/02/2019 11:07

@Lola871 I can see a thin line but looks slightly off to the side to me? How many DPO are you?

KatBeCool · 18/02/2019 11:18

@TrashKitten10 we're almost tww buddies, 0DPO for me today. All the symptoms and the opk are pointing to ovulating today.

@BabySquid schedule an appointment and simply say that you've been trying for a year. For me, first the tested general things like iron, vitamins D, B, TSH, glucose, etc. Then OB did the hormones test (amh, fsh, etc). Then it followed by HSG, my tubes were unblocked, so Clomid was next. And that's where I am now.

So I'm about to start taking progesterone on cd16 or 17, temps will tell. Really hoping for mild symptoms as my boobs hurt on their own after ovulation without the extra pills.

Lola871 · 18/02/2019 11:18

@Lozzlepop I don't know exactly, as I'm not tracking. Period was due yesterday but obviously I could have ovulated late. That's what I thought, it's almost like it's one edge of where the line would be

KatBeCool · 18/02/2019 11:21

@Lola871 those tests are hard to read unless there's a nice fat blue line. I see a very thin line but I'm not sure it's even blue. Can you take a frer test?

BostonFern · 18/02/2019 11:24

@BabySquid sorry you feel so down today.

@Lozzlepop really enjoyed Saturday's duvet day- hoping for a nap this afternoon too!

@DayDreamer1707 I often get like this on the first Monday of a school holiday, I wake up thinking of all the work that needs doing and can't get back to sleep, although I think this is the earliest one yet. Managed 7 hours of marking though, so silver linings and all that! How lovely of your OH to say that! Mine came up to me this morning, put his hand on my belly and asked when we could test- I think he is nearly as impatient in this TWW as me!

@Lola871 I see a very thin line too! 🤞

OhMarnie · 18/02/2019 11:32

@BabySquid sorry you're feeling rubbish, hope you feel better soon. It is a tough slog this TTC, we are all here for you though!

I'm sick of this cycle, I'm CD35 and I have no idea if or when I ovulated and therefore when I'm going to get AF. For the last few months my cycles have been 35-45 days with predictable breast tenderness from ovulation - AF. This month I've felt nothing, literally zero tenderness, I've noticed some ewcm but I feel like this is not a reliable signal for me as I sometimes get it more than once in the cycle. Typical that our first month trying is the first month it all goes haywire 😠

DayDreamer1707 · 18/02/2019 11:38

@BostonFern doesn't it just melt your heart when they are like that. My OH is currently trying to calm me down. I keep feeling wet down below (sorryTMI) and panicking that I have begun spotting!! Today is the day it started last month and started in the afternoon. I am already feeling like I am out and having slight cramps again.

@Lola871 get a FRER when you test next, there is no denying the lines on them tests!! I hear mixed reviews about blue test dyes. FX this is it for you!!!

@BabySquid hope you have your positive pants on now. Get some music on or your favorite film and keep smiling. We all have our bad days x

@Lozzlepop good luck for no AF tomorrow and you've done well not to test early!! When will you be testing? x

Lola871 · 18/02/2019 11:46

Thanks guys, I have another one of those as they come in packs of 2 so will use that first (if AF doesn't come) and if there's any doubt still I'll get an FRER. I'm assuming it's a negative for now.

Lozzlepop · 18/02/2019 12:08

@DayDreamer1707 that is the sweetest thing, I don't think my OH will get properly excited until we have a baby. I don't think he sees himself as very paternal, but I know he'll be amazing! I will probably try and hold off until maybe Wednesday morning.....I am meant to be going out with work for drinks on Thursday then for a meal on Friday so might need to feign an illness lol! I am currently sitting drinking a coffee- think I have tried to be pretty relaxed and not think about the TWW and just enjoyed my life as much as possible.

@Lola871 it could be an evap line? I would do a FRER if you can! It is annoying at the start of the journey my body def is not doing what I would like it too haha!

@BostonFern ahhhh lovely, are you off today? I wish I could nap lol!

@OhMarnie I hear what you are saying I am on CD32 and wondering how long this can continue, plus it has been interspersed with random bleeds, it puts even more pressure on TTC when you dont know what your body is upto!

BostonFern · 18/02/2019 13:01

@Lozzlepop it's half term, but I've already done about nine hours marking and planning today 😭 I'm starting to flag a bit now. Hoping some lunch will give me the energy I need to get the last bits of today's work done 🤞

thumper59 · 18/02/2019 13:36

Well 1 week today till AF is due. I'm only 4DPO tho so might help me resist the urge to test with AF due in only a weeks time. We shall see!
