Ladies who temp.. in CD2 can I start now or is it too late?

ValidUser · 19/07/2019 07:31

@MrsH497 totally!

@LokiCat fabulous kitty!

LokiCat · 19/07/2019 07:39

Morning all!

@Maisy24 thank you! She's a big ball of fluff 😍

@Eventrider1 I can see the faintest smudge in the area where a line should be 🤞🏽

@Sunshine8888 welcome! Sorry AF arrived, although after 45 days I guess it was also a happy welcome.
I didn't realise how much there was involved in ttc as well! I was in a happy bubble not knowing about OPKs and temping 😂 I hope the OPKs are helpful for you this cycle :)
There are a lot of very knowledgeable, supportive ladies on this thread so you're in the right place!

@Anny27 I think I'm even more excited to temp in the mornings now, which is not helping my crazy obsession 😂
Love me some Love Island as well! One perk of DH working late is that he doesn't pester me to change the channel 😊

@Imjustme2019 it may be that you're ovulating later this cycle? Don't lose hope, fingers crossed it happens!!

@MrsH497 nope should be fine to start temping from now!

@ValidUser thank you!! Good luck for today!

Lozzlepop · 19/07/2019 08:06

Morning ladies, how are we all? I’m so happy it’s Friday! Does anyone have any fun weekend plans?

MrsH497 · 19/07/2019 08:39

Hey @Lozzlepop how are you?

Going to Devon to see my in laws it's my sister in laws 30th birthday party so plenty of gin and a bbq can't wait to finish work

Eventrider1 · 19/07/2019 08:41

Well I had an annoying morning. Thought I would use the fancy digital clear blue to get a definitive answer but the bloody thing came up with an error Sad
Did my last little stick test and there was a faint line so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Have ordered some more tests which should arrive in the next few days so here’s hoping!

Eventrider1 · 19/07/2019 08:43

Always helps to add the picture before posting.
(Excuse the hideous tiles. They are due to be ripped out soon!)

@MrsH497 I am doing ok thanks hun, just feel kind of numb is the best way to describe everything! Oooh that sounds like a lovely weekend, have a gin for me!! We thankfully don't have any plans this weekend but we have scheduled in a wee date night for next week which I am looking forward too 🙂

@Eventrider1 I can see a line....can you get a FRER? how many DPO or you/ whens AF due? Sorry if you have already mentioned this previously

LokiCat · 19/07/2019 08:54

Morning @Lozzlepop, I'm glad you're okay and a date night next week sounds lovely, any idea what you might do? I hope you're at home today and hope you have a relaxing weekend with DP.
I'm very very happy that it's Friday, finally!
Meeting a friend for lunch tomorrow and then off to Midlands for a week for a training course.

@Eventrider1 I can see more of a line on this one than the one from last night. CB digitals are very sensitive, so it may be you're testing slightly early to get a bfp. As @Lozzlepop suggested, can you get a FRER?

Lozzlepop · 19/07/2019 09:03

@LokiCat we are going to go for a bite to eat then go see the new Lion King film- very excited already!! I am actually at work today, I am feeling good and everything has settled down so would rather have my mind focused than sitting at home moping about! Lunch with a friend sounds good, wow that sounds an intense course hope its a quick week for you!!

Lottiepink · 19/07/2019 09:10

@Lozzlepop I am so sorry to hear that, take care of yourself, the date night will be exactly what you need xx

@ELW85 pleased they were lovely and helpful! Fingers crossed everything goes well from now 😊

@Sunshine8888 welcome 😊

@MrsH497 sounds like a fab weekend!

@Eventrider1 I defo see a line!! You need a frer!

MrsH497 · 19/07/2019 09:26

😘@Lozzlepop definitely will! Xx

LokiCat · 19/07/2019 09:28

@Lozzlepop oooh amazing! I really want to see the Lion King film! May try and go next weekend.
That makes sense, sometimes work is the best distraction. Thank you! I'm going with some colleagues, so shouldn't be too bad 😊

Eventrider1 · 19/07/2019 09:53

@Lozzlepop AF was due yesterday. According to my flow app I am 16dpo but I’m not sure I trust it’s predictions.

@Lottiepink I will try and get a frer today!

MrsR16 · 19/07/2019 14:22

Hey you wonderful ladies, just popping in as I'm a nosey cow and love seeing how you're all getting on

@Lozzlepop I'm so sorry to read your news lovely, look after yourself xx

ELW85 · 19/07/2019 16:02

@MIW01 - thank you, DH is amazing so all full of happiness on the home front; he’s doing a great job of looking after me, just hoping that we get a happy ending🤞🏻

@Sunshine8888 - welcome!

@Imjustme2019 - thank you; sorry if I’ve forgotten - are you using OPKs or temping?

@Eventrider1 - can definitely see something, fingers crossed for your FRER!

@MrsH497 - jealous of your weekend! I’ve always wanted to go to Devon!

@ValidUser - how was your scan? I hope all was well :)

@Lottiepink - thank you so much. Just waiting now, but quietly hoping that everything is ok ❤️

I hope everyone has had a decent Friday? I’m totally shattered but looking forward to a semi-quiet weekend of house clearance and haircut 💇‍♀️

Good luck to anyone testing and trying out new gadgets 😃

Eventrider1 · 19/07/2019 16:24

Well I couldn’t get hold of an Frer but this clear blue seems pretty conclusive!!!

Oh wow @Eventrifer1. Congrats! Extra happy Friday for you! 🎉

Eventrider1 · 19/07/2019 17:02

@Sunshine8888 thank you! Was a bit of a shock after trying for so long but very happy it has finally happened!

Sunshine8888 · 19/07/2019 17:20

Sorry @Eventrider1 my typing was terrible in that last message, I was walking in heavy rain! Such lovely news! How long have you been trying? Did you have any symptoms to make you think you might be pg this time? So exciting!

Eventrider1 · 19/07/2019 17:41

@Sunshine8888 no symptoms really apart from peeing a lot and being late for AF. We have been trying since October last year so it has taken us a little while. Very excited and just have to hope everything goes smoothly.

Maisy24 · 19/07/2019 17:54

@Eventrider1 omg congratulations, soooo happy for you! I knew I could see a line! Them strip tests are terrible how can they hardly show anything yet a clear blue is really strong! Wishing you the best of luck for your pregnancy, SmileSmilexxx

MIW01 · 19/07/2019 18:03

@Eventrider1 huge congratulations to you. That's fab news after trying for a while.

@LokiCat AF is due tuesday. Did another more sensitive one this morning (they arrived yesterday after the less sensitive ones annoyingly) to check and it was def BFN so think we've missed out this round. Will plan our times for DTD better next month. Such a big learning curve!

ELW85 · 19/07/2019 18:04

Congratulations @Eventrider1! I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months!

Eventrider1 · 19/07/2019 18:40

@Maisy24 @MIW01 @ELW85

Thank you all! It was a bit of a shock but very happy. Need to book a drs appointment to get it all confirmed and get a due date.
