@MrsR16 @BostonFern Thanks I'm feeling more positive now she's gone and I can prepare for O again. Give me that pineapple core and those brazil nuts 🤣

@FlapJackered Take care of yourself. We'll be here whenever you are ready 💖 xx

@BabySquid Aww that's a shame that they won't see you now before September. Sending lota of positive baby dust your way that you won't need them 😘 xx

@FivexFive So sorry to hear about this. Take care of yourself and we'll be here when you are ready to return 💖 xx

@LokiCat and TrashKitten10 Huge Congratulations to you both. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months xx

Yeah Cycle twins @PeacockingAbout @Hannah192 I've just finished AF so feeling positive again to move forward. I have 27 day cycles too and tend to get my static smiley around CD12 so I imagine I O appeox CD13 which will be 12th March. Will B as much as I can get DP too around that date, on it and after it 🤣 he needs the tww to recover. Hope we get our BFPs together this month xx

@Ferii Welcome. Sending lots of baby dust your way xx

PinkFizz19 · 03/03/2019 20:50

Sorry @TrashKitten10 didn't tag you correctly above xx

BabySquid · 03/03/2019 21:20

@FlapJackered hey, I dont mind you asking at all, I was only 5+3 when I started bleeding, managed to get in the drs 3 days later and it was neg then. Which is why I personally don't think it counts. But of course drs know best 🙄
Sorry to those I've not replied to, I'll read and reply to all tomorrow and big congratulations to both @LokiCat and @TrashKitten10

LuckyPenguin · 03/03/2019 21:51

@granddesigns - that fascinates me! I love stuff like that (but then again I go to see a medium once every year! 🤣

@KatBeCool - love the spirit animal comment! 🤞🏻 it sticks - I hope it does!!

@TTC34 - I'm cycle 3 day 7 (assumed your name is linked to your age...I'm 34 too 😊)

Randomly, people with cats in their name appear to be getting positive @LokiCat & @TrashKitten10, so @KatBeCool - it may be a sign!!

PinkFizz19 · 03/03/2019 22:54

Sat here watching OBEM thinking why torture yourself PinkFizz19 😭

aimingfor2019 · 04/03/2019 07:49

Congratulations @TrashKitten10

My period hasn't arrived, which I would have expected today at the latest.

I did a FRER test last Wednesday morning which was negative. I have no symptoms of period or pregnancy, but then again this cycle has been a mess and I'm pretty sure I didn't ovulate. Don't wanna retest and have to go through the upset of it being negative again.

Lozzlepop · 04/03/2019 08:50

Morning lovelies! Did everyone have a good weekend? I was at my nieces 2nd bday yesterday and have picked up a bug from their mucky little paws- not what I need in the FW. Glow predicting OV on Thursday but based on last month its more likely to be the weekend, going to DTD tonight as I was feeling too rough last night! Hope everyone has a great Monday!

@DayDreamer1707 we are the same, really want to book a holiday but not sure if thats a sensible idea so might be a staycation this year.

@LuckyPenguin Glow is deffo a lifesaver I would be over estimating my OPK results otherwise!

@TrashKitten10 haha love this story, my cat would be exactly the same and look at me with disgust no doubt! OMG imagine, hats off to those ladies who have twins I don't know how they do it.

@PinkFizz19 oh this is interesting about pineapple.....I wonder if pancakes have the same effect (any excuse to indulge in pancake Tuesday)

@aimingfor2019 I would test again hun, I know it can be disappointing but better than being in limbo

DayDreamer1707 · 04/03/2019 09:22

Morning Ladies, as usual I tend to stay of social media things at the weekend and try and keep myself busy. I went the gym on Saturday morning and had a walk, even shocked at myself #MarchMadness. Me and the OH decided to go for a nice early walk before breakfast yesterday, which then turned into a 6 mile walk because we got lost 😂. Safe to say we deserved the naughty curry that night.

I am currently on CD11 and apps saying I will ovulate tomorrow but I feel like it's going to be later for some reason. We shall see after tonight OPK.

@TrashKitten10 congrats to you and your OH, lovely to see such a healthy strong line x

@Lozzlepop got to love children for sharing things, hope you are better soon. We have begun DTD and still don't get what is better sometimes, everyday, every other day, morning or night.

@Ferii welcome to our wonderful thread x

daisiesandpeonies · 04/03/2019 09:31

Man... feel like such a loser that I can't stop crying. AF turned up yesterday, and I also got no less than TWO lots of pregnancy news over the weekend plus a birth announcement card. It's all out of my husband's friendship group, which is somehow worse. Soon he'll be the only one from his school crew who is not a dad. I bet it's my fault. I do genuinely feel happy for them all, I don't wish that it hasn't happened for them or anything, but can't stop this overwhelming sadness for myself it's so weird. Then I feel like I'm being a bad person because of it, which makes me feel even worse. We are seeing one couple next weekend and it's going to take every last fibre of strength to smile through her baby questions when they come my way. I know people mean well when they ask, but I wish they'd stfu. Sorry for the rant ladies. Worst Monday EVER. CD 1 of cycle 10 😭

Jessikka · 04/03/2019 09:32

Morning all 👋🏻

Just dropping by to say hi! haven't posted in a while! .. I do lurk though!

Congrats on the BFP @TrashKitten10

I don't post much as I never have anything interesting to post; I don't test early and I know not to bother symptom spotting as it's pointless with it all being progesterone.
Therefore I'm a bit boring!

Hope you're all ok :)

starkid · 04/03/2019 09:57

@aimingfor2019 - I'd definitely test again. Do you have any internet cheapies or any more FRER's you could try tomorrow morning?

@Lozzlepop - I've got a holiday abroad booked for July, and I'm weirdly hoping us booking the flights for that will mean I kind-of jinx it by becoming pregnant in the next couple of cycles! Weird way to think of it, but that's me haha Grin

starkid · 04/03/2019 10:14

@BabySquid - How have you been finding the soy iso's?

orangeloo · 04/03/2019 10:18

@daisiesandpeonies sorry your feeling so meh! This TTC is tough and Monday's are poo.

@starkid I think the same way about jinxing haha thought yesterday I'm gonna book a holiday and bet I get pregnant

daisiesandpeonies · 04/03/2019 10:30

@orangeloo thank you. They are poo indeed!

aimingfor2019 · 04/03/2019 10:35

@starkid & @Lozzlepop
I have 1 FRER test and one standard test at home. Will wait until tomorrow morning and then retest.

I really wanna try out the Flo app but for some reason it would let me register or log in 🤷‍♀️

@daisiesandpeonies I know how you feel, all of my husbands friend group have had babies in the last year. Now we feel left out with them all sharing photos and stories in the WhatsApp group which we can't join in. Makes it worse that I think my husband would have rather started trying earlier but I'm younger and wanted to get our house and my career sorted first.

starkid · 04/03/2019 10:47

@aimingfor2019 - Aw that's sad, feeling left out from the group :( We're lucky that none from my friendship group and only 2 from my DH's side have had any children so far. No babies in DH's family so far either, we're hoping to be first so be plenty of potential babysitters Grin

KatBeCool · 04/03/2019 11:04

@daisiesandpeonies you are not a loser, and it's not your fault. I know exactly how you feel and can't keep myself from thinking that same thing about myself. But hearing you saying makes me see it differently now. I don't see you as a loser or as doing something wrong, so I can't be one either, and if it was the opposite, we'd have a lot of faulty women running around. You're doing everything you can and probably even more. It'll happen. Not going to say be patient, it's not even possible, I just want to slap people who advice patience. But... try being content with the process, at the least, it brings some peace. Hope it makes sense.

starkid · 04/03/2019 11:19

@daisiesandpeonies - sorry you're having such a hard time :( nothing else to say except we're all hear for you to listen to and join in with you with being upset/frustrated with TTC! xx

Lozzlepop · 04/03/2019 11:26

@DayDreamer1707 feeling more human today thankfully, don't think DP would have wanted to come near me last night anyway haha. I think just try mixing it up, we are usually evening as we get up to early during the week and would be too sleepy to attempt anything pre 6am lol!

@daisiesandpeonies sorry to hear you are feeling so down, but you are in no way a loser. I think we forget that we burden ourselves with a lot of pressure when TTC which our friends, family and even other halves don't see or understand. Its completely understandable to feel sad when you have wanted something so much yourself. I am also the odd one out in our friendship group, all of my friends are younger than me, married and have kids and it is tough which is part of the reason i've not told anyone we are trying as I don't want to add more pressure to the situation. Fingers crossed for you getting your BFP soon lovely!

@starkid ooooh lovely, where are you off to? I know I do think just book something as it will probably be the last time we get to enjoy a break away just the two of us. Hopefully I can convince the other half 😀

@aimingfor2019 I have everything crossed for you lovely

Jessikka · 04/03/2019 13:59

I am willing to give all of my Tesco and nectar points (maybe my boots) to the first lady who brings me coffee. I am officially DEAD on my feet today 💤

I actually spelt till 2pm yesterday and now I could 100% do it again 😴

Who could turn down free shopping points 🙈

BabySquid · 04/03/2019 14:20

@starkid I'm not feeling any differently on them tbh. No mad bouts of energy, nothing else out of the ordinary really. They just taste a bit bum haha
I've just renewed my passport and we're booking our trip to Oz in the hope it'll jinx things!

@daisiesandpeonies I was the same two Monday's ago, had a mini breakdown and cried all day! Felt so silly on the Tuesday though.

@Jessikka totes in there... BrewBrew (btw I think you mean slept and not spelt!?) haha proves a point if nothing else! Haha xx hugs 🤗

Lozzlepop · 04/03/2019 14:34

@Jessikka wow what a sleep, I couldn't tell you the last time I slept past 6am 🙄I am deffo in need of a coffee today!

@BabySquid a trip to Oz sounds amazing 🤩

Jessikka · 04/03/2019 14:44

@BabySquid I deffo meant slept haha!

@Lozzlepop I'm usually like that! I normally temp at 5am, go back to sleep for an hour and start work at 6am but I think because I stopped temping after I confirmed ovulation and then had a few days off work it's thrown me off!

starkid · 04/03/2019 15:19

@BabySquid - they haven't done for me much the last couple of days, but after taking them with breakfast this morning, this afternoon I'm proper jittery/restless Grin Wow Australia, sounds amazing! xx

mrsawhite · 04/03/2019 15:22

I have some cramping today. Quite sharp at times. And the cm is setting in. Must not test until next weekend...
