@Lozzlepop and @mrskcam I dont think I did ovulate later, I used the clear blue ovulation tests as well as the strip ones as well - and I got got the static smiley on the Monday the 17th.

@Anny27 - I can’t test this week as I’m at work and don’t have any tests with me, if my period doesn’t appear by Friday I will test Saturday.

I’m sure it’s because of the wedding - and it’s stress, but I really really don’t feel stressed Confused

@ValidUser - when can you test?

LokiCat · 09/07/2019 16:40

@Anny27 I seem to notice every 'symptom' as well and make a big deal about nothing. It ends up being the only thing I focus on, so tried to keep busy at work today to keep it out of my head. The day flew by luckily but I still questioned every twinge in my body 🤦🏻‍♀️
When will you start testing with your OPKs (sorry if you've already answered)?

@ELW85 @Lozzlepop I hope they are a positive sign! I was feeling slightly queasy all day and felt hungry even though I had just had lunch 🤔 I may just be making a mountain out of a mole hill though!

@ELW85 Sunday can't come quick enough!!

@Lozzlepop hope the office move wasn't too stressful! We had a change around our office a few weeks ago and had to tidy up. It still looks like a mess!

@PippaPug even though you had your LH surge on the 17th, you could have ovulated a day or two later?
Good luck if you do test Saturday 🤞🏽

@ValidUser how strange.. could an illness be affecting temps, or do you think it's meds?

Out for dinner tonight and booked to see the new Spider-Man movie! Jake Gyllenhal for two hours, can't complain 😊
Have a good evening ladies!

Imjustme2019 · 09/07/2019 20:04

@Anny27 yes, we'll keep each other grounded. I know what you mean about symptom spotting, its so easy to get carried away.

MrsH497 · 09/07/2019 20:29

I'm being a grump Windows are open I'm in bed as I'm totally exhausted and all I can hear are people in gardens talking SO loudly 😡

Lozzlepop · 09/07/2019 20:42

@LokiCat well we didn’t actually move as we don’t have anywhere to go yet 😂😂 oooh enjoy your date night, 2 hours with Jake sounds delightful!

@MrsH497 I feel your pain! Went to bed last night and our neighbours over the fence were in their shitty blow up hot tub until 10:30pm I’m not being funny but I wouldn’t even stay out in my garden that late on the weekend when everyone’s bedrooms back onto the gardens 🤷🏽‍♀️

MrsH497 · 09/07/2019 20:48

@Lozzlepop so glad you get it! I know it's not late late but I feel pants and need my bed! "I must not symptom spot I must not symptom spot"

Anny27 · 09/07/2019 20:52

@PippaPug fingers crossed for a BFP for saturday xx

@LokiCat i started yesterday on the OPKs and can see the 2nd line getting darker so definitley approaching ovulation i think :) fingers crossed your symptoms mean a bfp :D

@Imjustme2019 yes - i am calm at the moment but i know during the tww i start analysing everything and every twinge

Larrydavid · 09/07/2019 21:11

Hey ladies, I'm trying to keep myself busy during this tww - i tested at 11dpo and was negative - boo! Period due today - big cramp, feel like it will be here any moment! I go on holiday on Saturday so at least I'll be able to have some cocktails if it arrives 🍹

Catching up on messages: congrats @Pinksunset1 and @Lozzlepop - amazing news 🎉

Lozzlepop · 09/07/2019 21:25

@MrsH497 it’s just inconsiderate I was ready to shout out the window at them to shut up 🤣 I hope you manage to nod off soon and get a good sleep!

@Larrydavid thank you so much 😄 where are you off to in your hols? 🍹

Imjustme2019 · 09/07/2019 21:45

Yes @Larrydavid look at the positives, cocktails on holiday, nice!!! Xxx

ELW85 · 09/07/2019 22:02

Evening all!

I’ve got a really good feeling about some BFPs this weekend given everyone’s updates :) it’s feeling like our thread is on a roll at the moment so fingers crossed it continues!

@LokiCat - I hope your date night was nice?

@Lozzlepop - has your nausea settled? I’m with you on wanting all of it just to feel like it’s happening! You also made me laugh at the shitty hot tub comment 😂

@PippaPug - I’m with the others. Everything crossed for you for Saturday!!

@ValidUser - how odd!!! Can you ask the consultant to shed some light?

I hope everyone has had a lovely evening! Currently feeling stuffed after a chicken pitta. Such a lightweight!!

ELW85 · 09/07/2019 22:03

@Larrydavid - sorry to hear about the potential of AF - where are you off to quaff cocktails?

LokiCat · 09/07/2019 22:34

@Lozzlepop haha oh dear, no wonder it's frustrating! Hope you guys have somewhere to move to soon! 😂
Thank you! Date night was great. We went to wagamamas before the cinema, which I always enjoy 😊
I feel your and @MrsH497's pain! NDN's neighbours always have people in their garden and play their shitty music loud till really late 🙄

@Anny27 ahh thank you! I hope you get your peak and ovulation day soon!! Fingers crossed this is your cycle 😊🤞🏽

@Larrydavid ah I'm sorry about your bfn and about impending AF. Hope she doesn't show 🤞🏽 enjoy your holidays and cocktails - sounds brilliant! Where are you off to?

@ELW85 it was lovely, thank you! DH has working lates/nights the last few days, so it was good to have an evening together 😊
Chicken pita sounds lovely, I hope you had a great evening!

Have a lovely night all ❤️

purplefig · 10/07/2019 09:18

Just a quick one to say I still lurk 🤓😂 and I've got my fingers crossed big time for some BFPs this weekend! Xx

Lozzlepop · 10/07/2019 09:30

@ELW85 no I am still feeling nauseous 🤢but taking comfort form it that things are progressing well! Haha we have 2 neighbours with hot tubs, (one is a proper hot tub) our next door neighbours are threatening to burst it lol 😂OMG i could eat a chicken pitta right now, no joke lol!

@LokiCat sort of my own fault as I sold our office 😆we will just need to hot desk for a bit! ooooh yum i love a Waga!! Urgh its so annoying isn't it, theres just no need!

It was so so wet last night, we have woken up to a leak and there was water all over the bathroom windowsill which is less than ideal, waiting on a call back for someone to come out and have a look so DP may have to head home. We have a yellow weather warning for rain and thunderstorms for the next 2 days as well 🙈

MrsH497 · 10/07/2019 10:35

Hi ladies how are we all?
5/6 dpo here 🙄

So tired but getting closer to the weekend x

MrsH497 · 10/07/2019 11:29

Larrydavid · 10/07/2019 11:43

@ValidUser omg huge squinter on there - in fact, no squinting needed! I really hope this gets stronger for you. Have everything crossed!

ELW85 · 10/07/2019 11:54

Argh!!!! So happy for you @ValidUser - I can definitely see a second line 😃
Surfers prevail!!

ELW85 · 10/07/2019 11:56

@Lozzlepop - a chicken pitta at 9.30am. Welcome to pregnancy, haha 😂

@LokiCat - so pleased you’ve had a lovely date night! Especially with DH being on shifts; they’re extra special aren’t they?

@purplefig - how are you doing? Lovely to hear from you!

@MrsH497 - I’m tired too! Was so restless last night, so the weekend can’t come quick enough. I think I’m 7dpo today 🤔
