@Jooloo11 I'm exactly the same, every month I am convinced I'm pregnant (or at least might be), then so sad and empty when AF comes, it is like mourning. I've never been much of an optimist about anything else so I don't know what it is that gets hold of me.

I remember someone on these boards called it Schrödinger's pregnancy - in the tww, its like two realities exist, you are both pregnant and not pregnant.

RosettaR · 10/03/2019 12:53

Also @Jooloo11, I'm not sure about the storks. Is it good they were here, or bad that they flew past me and didn't stop?

SunnyL88 · 10/03/2019 13:34

Hey guys 👋🏻 Been ttc now since June and since November I’ve had regular periods , 27th of each month so that’s great especially after 10 years on the pill. Still nothing though and like you all say, very disheartening.

What am I doing wrong :-(

RosettaR · 10/03/2019 14:43

@SunnyL88 I know it's rubbish.

You might not be doing anything wrong, it sometimes just doesn't happen for a while and then suddenly does, judging by what people post on these boards (not that I've been obsessively reading or anything!).

They say you have about a 25% chance each month, so there's also a large element of luck involved.

SunnyL88 · 10/03/2019 20:33

Wow so small chances then @RosettaR so stressful!

Do we have a thread for help with opks cos I need help. They say it has to be an equivalent line to the control but I’m 1 day from my fertile window and this is the darkest it’s been xx

daisiesandpeonies · 10/03/2019 21:30

@RosettaR you aren't doing anything wrong- it's a super frustrating process sadly. Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm on cycle 10 and coming up on a year of TTC soon.
There's lots of people that can give you advice on OTKs here Smile I don't use them as stresses me out too much, think you need to be very consistent with them to get accurate results

daisiesandpeonies · 10/03/2019 21:31

Oops last post was meant for @SunnyL88 sorry @RosettaR !

daisiesandpeonies · 10/03/2019 21:33

@Jooloo11 every month I cry to when I see AF too. I have always known in my heart every cycle that I'm not pregnant before testing or AF, but there's always that glimmer of hope. Wish it would go away!

SunnyL88 · 10/03/2019 21:42

Would help if I actually posted my opk from today. This is the darkest it has been.

Lottiepink · 10/03/2019 22:29

I was positive this month, different signs/symptoms but AF is here 😫😢

starkid · 10/03/2019 22:41

@SunnyL88 - not positive yet, but keep testing multiple times a day for next couple of days (say 2pm/6pm/8pm or something like that) :)

Lola871 · 11/03/2019 07:47

Hi all, I've not been on the thread much lately as I've been in the boring bit of my long cycle, due to ov this week, predicted for Thursday. Ov'd late last month (I think due to coil being taken out) so will try and continue BD a few extra days. We are then away next week so hoping that will help speed up the TWW!

Congrats @TrashKitten10 and @OhMarnie! Lucky thread so far, fingers crossed for everyone else!

I have also been working out due dates out of interest. I'm only on cycle 2 so far though so may get bored with that if TTC takes a while!

Toka · 11/03/2019 08:14

Well, I just got this at 13 dpo... Cautiously excited and happy (but also super nervous because of cp in January). Hoping that it sticks!

Lottiepink · 11/03/2019 08:16

@Toka congratulations 😊 good dark like there!

Lottiepink · 11/03/2019 08:16

Oops line!

starkid · 11/03/2019 09:07

@Toka - wooo look at that line! Congrats :) xx

Has anyone heard of/experienced being really spotty when taking extra B6? It's the only thing I can think of that I've changed in the last couple of weeks, and now have loads of spots all over my chin/mouth/neck area, which is really weird for me, especially those places! Confused

Lozzlepop · 11/03/2019 09:40

Morning all, happy Monday!!

@DayDreamer1707 thats great news about your interview, fingers crossed you hear back from them soon!

@KittieKath welcome to the 35 club, I am here too ☺️

Welcome to the new ladies @RosettaR @bitheby @SunnyL88 nice to have you here!

@Toka oh massive congratulations look at that line! Fingers crossed for a sticky bean for you 🤞🏻what fantastic news to start the week.

How was everyones weekends? We had a chilled Saturday and then went out for lunch yesterday which was nice. Currently in the dreaded TWW at 4DPO anyone with me? Not feeling too positive this month but we will just need to wait and see.

Soda123x · 11/03/2019 10:02

@Toka congratulations !!!
TWW buddy !!! I'm still holding out until 15th to POAS AF not here yet, but not having any symptoms either way for AF of BFP.

Toka · 11/03/2019 11:23

@Soda123x good luck!! To be honest, my only symptoms are the same as for before AF (sore breasts, low level cramping) xx

MrsR16 · 11/03/2019 11:41

@Toka congratulations! That's an awesome line right there!

Hannah192 · 11/03/2019 11:58

Sorry I have been off the thread for a while, busy couple of weeks. I will try and catch up but the thread moves so quickly!
Congratulations @Toka!

Just got to CD11 and started using the OPKs the past 2 days. How is it possible to not go to the loo or drink for 4 hours?! Luckily we are having our bathroom done and have no toilet at the mo and are living elsewhere, so when we’ve been working there at the weekend I haven’t had much choice! But now I’m back at work I love a cuppa tea 🙈🙈 the aim is to do them as soon as I’m home from work and not drink in the afternoons 🙄 I’ve read that you can’t do them on fmu which is frustrating.
Hope everyone is getting on ok this cycle

LikeTheFruit · 11/03/2019 14:17

Congratulations @Toka

I've been quiet for a week waiting for OPKs to turn positive.

Got the holy trinity here - wish me luck!

@LikeTheFruit that looks really good 😀fingers crossed hun!

starkid · 11/03/2019 15:11

@LikeTheFruit - from afar it looked like a big bowl of butter chunks 😂 Good luck BDing and enjoying your snacks!

LikeTheFruit · 11/03/2019 15:13

@starkid 😂😂 also realised I forgot to turn photo round. Not very technical! 🍍🍍🍍
