@MrsH497 glad you're okay! I can imagine it must be quite worrying with both on the job.
Oooh I'll defo watch the new series! 🙊 Saw the back of DH's head in the last one!! He wasn't pleased as I recognised him because of his bald patch 😂😂

LokiCat · 24/02/2019 22:09

Sorry you're feeling frustrated with the whole journey @starkid. It's annoying when you seem to be doing everything right but it just doesn't seem to work. You're not out yet though, fingers crossed the spotting isn't AF showing up. Have you got yourself booked in for an appointment to speak to your GP

BabySquid · 25/02/2019 06:43

Morning ladies
How does Monday come round so quickly?!!
@BostonFern do we have another test to look at? Hope that spotting wasn't af.
I'm still cautiously optimistic about this month, going to test Friday unless she shows up Thursday.

orangeloo · 25/02/2019 06:45

Morning ladies, I just caved and tested. BFN. Was pretty sure Af was coming but I was getting fed up of wondering and clinging on to that bit of hope my spotting was not AF. Frustratingly OH works abroad sometimes and I think we are going to not be together around those crucial moments 🙁 for the next two cycles. So I think my ttc cycle 3 will be waiting until about may. Gonna use the time to get healthy try loose a bit of weight and pamper myself too. I will still be lurking on here though. Happy Monday all. FX and baby dust to you all. X

starkid · 25/02/2019 07:44

@LokiCat thanks for the message, no spotting yet just spotty face haha! I've got to wait till may to go the doctors, the hormone test didn't flag anything.
Feel proper shite this morning, can tell AF is just round corner!

@orangeloo sorry for bfn, when are you due?

FlapJackered · 25/02/2019 07:51

Just popped on to see how you're all getting on!
Good luck everyone testing this week!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I am in limbo land at the moment, after the doctor telling me the baby had stopped developing after blood tests last weeks they scanned me on Friday and thought it has grown 🙈 so I have to wait two weeks to see it grows at all, which is already torture!
All symptoms have gone so I don't feel like it's going to be good news, but I can't help having the hope there either. 😬

@starkid your not out yet! I felt exact like AF was coming before I got my bfp. The only clue I had was a bit of pink spotting which wasn't normal for me. I've got everything crossed for you!!

@KatBeCool how are you? What dpo are you now?

orangeloo · 25/02/2019 07:52

@starkid thanks hun. Not entirely sure FF says I'm due tomorrow. I think by Thursday. But I'm 10dpo today and used a FRER so think it's very conclusive. FX for you.

By chance does anyone know if I got a private fertility test and it found an issue could the NHS refer you earlier? Not being completely neurotic, it's just OH's father and brother had sperm/ motility issues (although both ended up fathering two children) so I think maybe OH could well have similar issues.

BabySquid · 25/02/2019 08:20

@orangeloo my DH was looking at sperm tests coz he's on a jab that could affect his count, they sell a test in boots so maybe try that instead of paying for private then if it shows something take that test to the drs and explain why he got it? Surely then they have to do something??

DayDreamer1707 · 25/02/2019 08:42

Morning ladies.

Sorry I have been absent all weekend. Certainly not feeling brilliant today and think I need to stop putting so much pressure on myself.

@Thumper59 massive congrats and hope all is going well.

@BostonFern I am praying that you get a line on a FRER. I have had a false positive in the past one of those Asda cheapies. How are you today?

thumper59 · 25/02/2019 09:11

@orangeloo sorry for the bfn

@starkid don't count yourself out on that account, I usually get one big spot around AF time but last week I've got two massive painful ones and just a very spotty face generally, so it doesn't always mean AF 🤞🏼

@FlapJackered I hope it's all good news for you. I can't imagine how horrible the waiting and not knowing is!

@DayDreamer1707 Thankyou! Your right about easing the pressure off yourself. I know it's easier said then done. Baby dust for you all xx

I don't want to leave this thread ever 😭 had a dabble at some others but this is the only one I love being apart of! Your all such lovely and strong ladies xx

orangeloo · 25/02/2019 09:43

@BabySquid oh yes I will order one today. These tests only do sperm count but will still be helpful to rule that out. More concerned re the motility as that's the issue OH brother had. I will speak to GP soon anyway for something else so I will ask them if private tests showed issue could we get referred quicker. Thanks for the tip! X

@FlapJackered so sorry to hear about this. Must be so hard waiting. Thinking of you and wishing you all the best.

PinkFizz19 · 25/02/2019 09:52

@FlapJackered So sorry to hear what you're going through, what a mixture of emotions. I will keep everything crossed for you that it's good news Flowers

Good luck everyone who's testing. My AF is due Thursday. My boobs still feel heavy but not painful. They've never felt like this before, it's the top and side of them? After having a day of building my hopes up I'm trying to knock them down by expecting AF then anything else will be a bonus. Don't want to test until I'm definately late as i was 5 days late 1st cycle and i was so gutted I got a negative test then within a couple of hours AF showed Sad

starkid · 25/02/2019 10:22

@FlapJackered - thank you for your message :) True, never know until she arrives. Keep your chin up for the next couple of weeks, and fingers crossed for good news then. Certainly been a rollercoaster for you xx

@PinkFizz19 - I'm not going to test until I'm a couple of days late too, especially as my cycle is predicted to be shorter than usual this month, so will likely wait til the normal cycle length has passed. So might test Thursday if it's not arrived (not holding my breath though!)

PinkFizz19 · 25/02/2019 10:52

@starkid ohh good luck. Hope Thursday gives us both good news..if I get no AF on Thursday i may test over the weekend. DP wanted me to be late a week before testing next time but I don't think I could wait so long. Plus i wouldn't want to test and then have to go to work either way I'd be thinking about it too much.

Lozzlepop · 25/02/2019 10:56

Morning ladies, just catching up from the weekend decided to take some time out and come back feeling refreshed!

@NKB88 hello and welcome to the thread, hope all went well at the clinic

@thumper59 OMG congratulations, amazing news ❤️

@PinkFizz19 nice to see you back ☺️ fingers crossed AF stays away!

@Jc88146 @hiddenfigurehello and welcome to the thread

@LuckyPenguin fingers crossed she stays away

@LikeTheFruit sorry to hear AF arrived

@wildrabbit sorry AF got to you, sounds like its been a tough year, fingers crossed fro cycle 2!

@MrsH497 OMG are you ok!? Yeah deffo want to make them aware if thats how you get treated, hope you are alright

@IoMoon welcome, sorry to hear about AF

@FlapJackered sorry that you are in limbo but might still be good news so fingers crossed you find out soon hun!

KatBeCool · 25/02/2019 10:58

@orangeloo @BabySquid those tests are considered a big waste of money. Just the count itself is not enough information. They test about seven or eight other things during a normal test. It doesn't even cost that much more for a real test if you do it privately.

@FlapJackered I'm 6dpo. The temperature finally went up today. Clomid made my temps all wicked so it was hard to determine a cover line this month.
I am crossing all my fingers and toes for you. I read what you said on the pregnancy forum, that the it doesn't always matter when you had your last period to determine the due date. Good thing you work from home. My mind would wander too much if I was surrounded by other people. What do you do?

orangeloo · 25/02/2019 11:20

@KatBeCool yes I didn't order in the end. I figure I'll wait to find out if nhs would act on a comprehensive private test first as if they wouldn't I'm not sure there would be much point in knowing. just make you feel crappy and helpless.

PinkFizz19 · 25/02/2019 11:25

@Lozzlepop Thanks alot. Cycle 3 (2nd on OPKs) and done our best this month around my O so keeping everything crossed but I know it doesn't guarantee anything Sad. I have a little break from here every now and then to try and stop myself getting too OTT but it never works. Hope you're ok after your weekend off.

Lozzlepop · 25/02/2019 11:56

@PinkFizz19 i have everything crossed for you 😁I am feeling better this morning despite a hellish commute to work, left home at 6:50 and got to work at 9:30 🙈AF has finished thankfully so feeling a lot more like myself, plus this nice weather is helping too!

MrsH497 · 25/02/2019 12:27

@Lozzlepop yeah I'm absolutely fine luckily no bruising or anything. It shouldn't be considered "part of the job" but sadly it is sometimes.

Hope everyone is doing ok

@FlapJackered must be terrible being in limbo for you. Keeping everything crossed x

cupcakesandglitter · 25/02/2019 12:55

Keeping everything crossed @FlapJackered hopefully little bean has a growth spurt and everything is okay xx

JellyBaby666 · 25/02/2019 13:06

Happy Monday all. Just catching up, hope you're all okay.

Feeling a bit despondent that OH's job will mean we may miss this month and next month's fertile windows. Damn it, ovulating on a Thursday :(

How are you guys?

Hannah192 · 25/02/2019 13:15

Hello! I was wondering if I could join the thread 😊
TTC #1
I’m on cycle 2 and AF is due today, so waiting to see what happens.
Cycles have been 28 days but only came off the pill in November and had 2 normal cycles. I don’t feel very hopeful though 🙈 I’ve had no symptoms either way, feel pretty normal at the moment!
Congrats to those getting BFP. Sending lots of baby dust x

Lozzlepop · 25/02/2019 13:44

@MrsH497 thats good glad to hear it, really grinds me gears when people attack those who are just doing their job- totally unacceptable.

@JellyBaby666 Happy Monday!! Thats annoying, is he away for the full fw? Are you using OPKs / temping or just going on app predictions as they could be out so you could still be in the game 😉

@Hannah192 welcome to the thread! Fingers crossed AF doesn't arrive!

rachel59pink · 25/02/2019 13:46

Ah feel like AF is on her way had stomach cramps all yesterday and today. 😕 Was due on yesterday.
