Ohh men.
Complained to my hubby that bbt thermometer seems to favoriting a certain temperature (apparently it's a thing).
He says: why don't you use a candy thermometer?
Me: ohh, hun, candy thermometers are instant, I can't bend that way to read it.
Him: Use your phone camera and take a photo.

Yeahm, what a great idea!

OhMarnie · 23/02/2019 07:49

@KatBeCool 😂😂 they don't have a clue do they!!!

TrashKitten10 · 23/02/2019 07:55

@OhMarnie Great idea! The babies can play and we can laugh about all our over sharing on this thread. I feel for you regarding the tests. All this 'false positives don't exist' thing is banded about but you definitely had squinters. It just messes with your head. And however much you are relaxed and cool about things ultimately we are all actively trying and so you are going to get excited when you get some signs. Really hope your cycles regulate themselves a bit.

@Fuiseog I'm a teacher too, there are a few of us on here. I think the thread may be a little quieter next week when half terms over and we can't sit being obsessive on mumsnet. Grin Now hurry up and do your test and update us!

@KatBeCool That made me laugh, what a ridiculous suggestion! 😂 Also, my candy thermometer is huge, definitely couldn't fit it under my tongue! I think that would be about as useful as sticking your gob around the house thermostat. Silly men!

Hi all.

Sorry for just jumping in but having read the entire thread you all seem extremely supportive and friendly, which is just what I need.

I'm ttc#1 and am on cycle 2. Currently on cd15 with no positive opk yet, though I have flashing smileys on the clear blue advance so my levels are somewhat up but no lh surge yet. Here's hoping it stops flashing tomorrow.

Anyone else have any dealings with the clear blue advance? I've had 3 days of flashing smileys. And am fully expecting it to go from that to just a plain circle again, I think I'm just being pessimistic and paranoid. I need the smile to stop flashing as am having to go through a clinic so can't just DTD at all times and hope unfortunately.

Anyway. Sorry for unloading, it actually feels so good to just let that go. It's apparently been holding up in me for a bit.

orangeloo · 23/02/2019 08:46

Hi @NKB88 and welcome I'm using clear blue advanced and had seven days of high before my peak this cycle. didn't think peak was coming but it did. So your still in there but yes totally agree u start wondering is it ever gonna come.

starkid · 23/02/2019 09:16

@NKB88 - hi, I used them for 2 cycles. Make sure your using them twice a day now I'd say, in case it happens in the afternoon. It does happen that you can have flashing for a while before static though. Good luck :)

Anyone testing this weekend?

thumper59 · 23/02/2019 09:22

thumper59 · 23/02/2019 09:40

@TrashKitten10 Thankyou! I can't believe it. I'm only 9DPO though so not getting my hopes up (ha! Trying) I know all sorts can go wrong I haven't even missed a period yet. I can't believe it.

OhMarnie · 23/02/2019 09:46

@thumper59 omg that is definitely a line!!!! Congrats!!!

thumper59 · 23/02/2019 09:48

@OhMarnie 😭😭 Thankyou! I just can't believe it haha I keep just sitting looking at it! Someone stop me getting to carried away! The reasonable part of my brain is like 'don't get carried away it's even to early to really test' my other side is jumping around the house squealing! 😂

NKB88 · 23/02/2019 09:49

@orangeloo apparently I spoke too soon. Did a second (and third and fourth and fifth and sixth) test a couple of hours later and we're at peak. Off to the clinic I go 😁 here's to the impending 2 week wait.

TrashKitten10 · 23/02/2019 09:53

@thumper59 Aww, I bet you're over the moon. Let yourself be excited, this is what you've been waiting for ☺️

thumper59 · 23/02/2019 09:55

If nothing else I can say we aren't crazy for symptom spotting really. I haven't been much this tww, but I've defiantly felt different and I've defo felt off. So it is true you get symptoms early.

TrashKitten10 · 23/02/2019 09:57

@NKB88 Sorry for missing your post, welcome to you :) how funny you got your peak straight after posting that it wasn't happening. That happened to me and I remember someone else having the same. Publicly shaming your ovaries sometimes seems to work! Sorry if it's nosey but how come you need to use a clinic?

I realise that that some grads are experiencing or have experienced a loss. I will leave all the names on that list until you would like them changed or moved 🌈

@trashkitten10 it would seem you are right, a bit of public shaming to get things moving. My pessimistic side was genuinely like 'oh well, next month'.

No, not nosey at all. Am using a clinic because my other half is also female so unfortunately lacks the amenities for us to do things naturally. We've been under the consultant for 4 months and I completely missed my surge last month as I was sick But this month everything's in order and all our ducks are in a row. I'm booked into the clinic for 3pm Smile

@starkid yup defo using more than once a day, I used 3 different brands just to confirm the surge that happened just after my last message.

Excitement!!

starkid · 23/02/2019 10:41

@thumper59 - sure looks positive to me, fx for you!! xx
@NKB88 - yayy, good luck at the clinic :)

KatBeCool · 23/02/2019 10:53

@thumper59 congratulations!

MrsR16 · 23/02/2019 10:54

@thumper59 oh hun, that's an amazing line! Congratulations! Xx

@NKB88 good luck! 😊

thumper59 · 23/02/2019 10:56

@starkid @KatBeCool @MrsR16 Thankyou so much! Argh sat waiting at the window with the dogs for OH to get home so I can tell him 😂

orangeloo · 23/02/2019 11:02

@thumper59 congratulations 😀 great news!! @NKB88 FX for you! Good luck

PinkFizz19 · 23/02/2019 12:46

Hey ladies, so sorry been off for a couple of weeks as had alot on at work and home. I got my positive OPK at exactly the same time as last month...CD12 in the evening..only had 1 day of flashing prior to this so was suprised how easy i could have missed it. Anyway we bd CD11, CD12 and CD13 so fingers crossed the sperm and egg had a Valentines connection and got to work. Haha. Currently CD23 and symptom spotting like mad. Sorry for tmi but my water works haven't been the best since approx 5dpo if i need the loo i go from needing it to desperate in a matter of minutes. I "have" to go...it just comes on me all at once. Then yesterday my boobs started aching but more like a heavy ache then a usual pms ache, enough to make me notice them if you know what i mean? They feel worse today almost like I've been doing benchpresses and over worked my chest. Hoping these are good signs. AF due Friday but really hope she stays away as we've given it the best chance this month compared to the last 2 😊

@thumper59 Yes!! Congratulations! Good strong line for early testing. I bet you are buzzing. What symptoms had you had if you don't mind me asking?

@NKB88 Welcome to the group. Everyone is really friendly on here. Glad you finally got your static smiley. Hope everything goes well at the clinic

Lemonysherbet · 23/02/2019 14:05

@thumper59 what an exciting Saturday for you! Congratulations I've got everything crossed for you that it gets stronger every day :)

I'm having a DIY weekend too, stripping in the bedroom. Sadly it's wallpaper as dh is working!
