Yes @blackfriars on an IC this morning. Whiter than white 😭 still boobs are killing, neck is sore and spot central in my face. I’m trying to get as many hot baths in as possible before the dreaded af arrives. Just not feeling very positive now

Mentioned on another post - sis in law just made the big announcement, twins pending. 😶

@SunnyL88 oh I'm sorry. It's such a blow, even if you are happy for others. I've just seen on FB (WHY DO I GO ON THERE!!!!!) that someone from uni has liked Seraphine (the maternity clothing company) and so I'm assuming she's pregnant and not announced yet. She's lovely and I really wish her all the best but I just feel gutted inside.

Whats also making it harder is, my job changed recently and I now work with poorly babies and kids all day and damn it makes me so broody when I see the babies and toddlers especially. Sadness!

SunnyL88 · 20/03/2019 22:59

Ohhh no to both scenarios- similar, I’m a nursery teacher and those little cuties get me all the time. 💔

Thanks @MrsR16! Has the application for Fab New Job gone, when will you hear? Sorry to hear AF arrived.

@FlapJackered sorry about your temp, it must be so frustrating, I hope the OPKs give you some more concrete data, fingers crossed you confirm ovulation soon.

@Lozzlepop Proper line! Congratulations, That's fantastic news, super cute about the baby grow.

@thumper59 'faintly pregnant ' is hilarious!! Bless your OH lol!

@Hatty33 that's looking pretty confirmed, congratulations!

@PinkFizz19 hi cycle buddy! I really hope it happens for you this month, would be lovely to tell your DP on his birthday. I'm good, CD 21 now and 7DPO. Thats a pain that your dates were out, it might have moved this month?

I've got work to distract me at least- less nice but very effective! Symptom spotting to the max, despite not actually thinking I've got lucky this month. I'm genuinely not going to know what to do with myself when it happens, I've had so many imaginary and fantasy pregnancies that don't know how I'll react to the real thing Hmm Grin

@orangeloo wow 17 days, must be nice to have him home!

@MrsAW2018 sorry to hear AF has arrived x

@BabySquid, I hope the break brings you peace, wishing you the very best x

@starkid thanks for taking on the Stats beast! We seem to be burning through threads!

@SunnyL88 - twins is just greedy! Hope you are ok. X

Positive opk!!! Wahoooo! I just woke DH up and told him to jump in the shower and saddle up! 😂😂 we have not Dtd for 4 days so we have got to make up some time now!

@SunnyL88 twins!! Now that's just greedy, can't she just give one to you 😂

@thosethreewords @SunnyL88 Facebook is a killer for it, one of my friends just put up a video of a gender reveal popping a balloon with pink glitter in it. 🤮

@BabySquid I will be sad to see you go but completely get it. It is quite good to have a break. Please come back and see us though and definitely tell us if you get your bfp! We will miss you! ❤️ Good luck lovely!

@DayDreamer1707 how are you lovely? We haven't heard from you in a while. Did you get the job? x

FlapJackered · 21/03/2019 07:24

@PeacockingAbout thanks lovely! Feeling much better now the opk is positive, at least I will know when af is likely to turn up now (even if it is on my holiday 🙄)
Not long for you to wait now! When do you think you will test?

DayDreamer1707 · 21/03/2019 07:28

@FlapJackered well they really liked me but are now making changes to the whole department so are no longer after someone at the moment. Said they really liked me and will be in touch. Have another interview next week though. Thanks so much for asking, I'm pretty ill at the moment and think I'm getting myself run down. I am also currently 1 day late 🙈 how are you feeling? X

cupcakesandglitter · 21/03/2019 07:44

Yaaaaay @FlapJackered glad you got your positive - and that you managed to DTD 😂😂😂 I've only just woke up 😂 xx

@DayDreamer1707 good luck for your next interview - when are you testing?! Xx

DayDreamer1707 · 21/03/2019 08:06

@cupcakesandglitter we haven't even tried this month because of my situation so I'm thinking it's just stress causing me to be late and ill. I did do an IC yesterday at about 11 and it was Negative x

Welcome @smitch82 - hope you don't get the crazy ttc brain like the rest of us 😂

@thosethreewords Welcome back!

@MrsAW2018 Sorry to see that af showed up. Sending positive vibes for the next cycle!

@FlapJackered I got my positive opk last night! Fingers crossed for you!

@KatBeCool and @Hannah192 I finally got my positive opk! Thought it was was coming yesterday from my results and got my positive this morning. No denying it or squinting like you said! Confirmed again this morning with another cheap opk and also got my solid face with my cb! Never been so happy. If I'm like this with an opk, can't imagine what I'll be like if and when I get my bfp 😂😂

How do I start counting my dpo? From today?

We dtd last night and the night before and plan to for the next few nights to keep everything covered. X

@PeacockingAbout no it hasn't gone off yet! I've got till Monday. I can't seem to get the wordy bit right, which really frustrates me 😂

@FlapJackered you go girl!!

@DayDreamer1707 sorry to hear about that job... glad the interview went well though! Something will work out 😊 stress has a horrible impact on my cycle, so I try and avoid it as much as possible! Sometimes it just can't be helped though

BabyO1988 · 21/03/2019 08:41

@MrsR16 at least if you go the doctors you might find out if there is something you can do to help. Fingers crossed it's nothing though! Xx

@Lottiepink 😂😂 it is deffo the best part of the cycle 🙊🙊 I’m in the dreaded tww now and already going crazy 😂
@BabyO1988 yay for the positive opk!! I was exactly the same, happy dance and all that! 😂 we will be nightmares when we actually get BFP 😂 I don’t actually know.. I got my positive opk on Sunday, so I think I’m saying today that I’m 4dpo, but I’m not certain 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m deffo symptom spotting after just 4 days though!! It’s going to be a looong 2 weeks!

@DayDreamer1707 that is a shame about that job but great they liked you and that you have got more interviews in the pipeline.
I don't know how you're not testing! I would be peeing on a frer for sure 😂. Our cycles do have a way of messing with us though!
I am good thanks, just keen to get my cycle back to normal now.

@BabyO1988 wahoo! Finally! The solid smiley is so satisfying isn't it! It sounds like you have it covered with Dtd! What cd are you on now? TWW buddies! 🎉

@MrsR16 @starkid 💪🏻 🐎 😂

I have just looked at my opks over the last few days and they are much stronger than normal, I don't know what that means if anything? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh fab @FlapJackered that's great news! Get BD! Fingers crossed for a no-show on holiday - she's not invited!

AF due next Weds - think I'm going to test on Sat as I'll be 10DPO and honestly, I have no self control and like peeing on sticks I think!! Hmm

Feeling pretty rotten today, all cold-and-flu-y. There is something horrid doing the rounds which i think is coming in to land - @DayDreamer1707 sounds like you've been caught by it! Sorry to hear the job wasn't a gooer, good luck in the next interview. Hope things get more secure for you soon x

@cupcakesandglitter you're on the same dates as me! What DPO are you?

@MrsR16 good luck! The wordy bit is the hardest part! I'm a fan of points on post it notes to get it out of my head. Good luck!

KatBeCool · 21/03/2019 09:52

@FlapJackered wahoo! I told you it'll happen! Don't lose faith in your body!

@BabyO1988 yay for the positive opk. Since you don't temp, it's tricky to calculate the exact day of ovulation after the test. CB, will put you at 2 days after the positive, if you read their instructions. Keep poas until it goes lighter, then you'll see how long your surge is, it can last up to two days and you don't ovulate during the surge. To be safe, I'd go with Friday as ovulatiom. As long as you keep dtd probably until Sunday at least, it doesn't matter how precisely you calculated ovulation or possibly got it wrong by a day.

Panic over ladies, I have come on!! I would obviously love to be pregnant but not when I don't have a job. Let the job applying continue. Good luck to all testing soon x
