Early December testing?

[Laur89]

@Gigi318 @Ellsbells112 @Gems7 new post girls! How are you all? I can't remember who else to tag!

Ladies, hope you can help with something.

As you know I've been TTC for about a year now, and I seriously need a new job as current one is stressing me out (doesn't help with the TTC situ).
I've been invited to an interview next week which I think I'd be very tempted to take if they offered me the opportunity, however I don't know what to do about the TTC side of things.
I know I can't put my life on hold for something that may never happen or may in a few months time - but my question is, what if this month or next month are lucky and i conceive? Gaaah!

@Gillsg141290 you are the same DPO as me and @FingersCrossedXXX

When will you test?

@Robbo93

I would take it if that’s what you want and you don’t need to tell them your pregnant and if they say anything when you get the post then it’s discrimination. What’s for you won’t go past you.

@Lizziedu49 probs Friday then if negative then I will do Sunday as I’m due my period on Wednesday. The wait is unbearable.

@Gillsg141290 I'm due Saturday but I guess that doesn't mean I'll get a positive any sooner 😐

@Lizziedu49 If I we’re due on Saturday I would have already taken about 4 tests by now haha x

@Robbo93 you can't stop your life for things, I think you should go ahead and do what is best for you at the moment as things always work out in the end. If you're holding on for maternity then I understand your dilemma but I can't advise you on that side then x

Thanks @Gillsg141290 and @Ellsbells112

The job I'm going for is within the nhs so would be much better in the long run but obv doesn't help my situation right now. The job I'm currently in will deffo pay maternity pay and I suppose I'd claim maternity allowance (is there much difference?) if I got a new job, I think it's more my pride of starting a new job and then letting them down by telling them I'm pregnant 🤰 🙈

@Robbo93 I work for the nhs. Good benefits regarding maternity pay. Try not to worry and if it comes to it take the the job as it will be better for you in the long run. X

Cheers chick @Gillsg141290 but I worry about everything lol, all I'm thinking about is how hard the interview is going to be as I get so tongue tied and can't sell myself haha
Going by your username is it your birthday next week? X

It sure is! Last year of being in my 20’s 😔Aww don’t worry about interviews just take a deep breath and try not to deviate from the answer to the question.

Let’s hope it’s double happiness for you this month!

@Gillsg141290 well happy birthday to you for next week, fingers crossed you get the news you want this month because of it :-)
It's my birthday next week too! Yay!

CD14 and day 3 of flashing smiley 🧐

@Gillsg141290 @FingersCrossedXXX tested with FMU with a FRER but BFN. Will now wait until this weekend to see what happens but not feeling hopeful!!

@Lizziedu49 aww still though might not come for another few days. Keep positive. I am going to test tomorrow but I don’t feel hopeful to be honest. X

@Gillsg141290 I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I go on holiday on Sunday for a week and a half, I don't test in front of DH because there's no point in both of us getting disappointed when they come back negative. Plus I want to surprise him when it does finally happen! So if I don't get AF on sat I will spend the next week and a half trying to secretly POAS 😂

Sorry ladies, haven't had a chance to reply.

@Ellsbells112 It definetly sounds like you have done all that you can in regards to DTD. Its only a 25% chance even if you get it bang on isn't it?

@Lizziedu49 Sorry to hear about your BFN but could still be too early. I took another one this morning as well and also a BFN, not even a squinter! I am going to try and hold off testing tomorrow and will wait until Saturday. My hubby is away overnight from tomorrow and back Saturday so I'd just be going mad if I found out tomorrow anyway and had to keep it bottled in until he came home!!

Really don't think I am pregnant, I don't really have any unusual symptoms. I have had back ache on and off but I always have this anyway. Had a little bit of white CM today but not much and don't think that is necessarily unusual for me either. No achey boobs or anything like that.

@Gillsg141290 Glad to have another one on the same schedule as me and Lizzie. Good luck for your test tomorrow!

@Robbo93 Might as well go for the interview at least. Even if you do get it, you won't have to take it if you don't want too.

Morning ladies, not last night but the night before I had SUCH a vivid dream about being pregnant I woke up thinking I was! Waiting until tomorrow to test as AF Is due then and I will be 12 DPO. Kinda feels like AF is on the way though...

How are you all doing?

@Lizziedu49 I've had that it bloody hurts when you realise it's not real. I'm okay 4dpo today nothing to tell! Hoping that will change over the next week...
How are you?

@Ellsbells112 you're only just at the beginning of the TWW then 😩 when is AF due?
I'm ok, been feeling quite nauseous these past 3 days but I'm not reading into that as I am 100% coming down with something as also have a sore throat and non stop sneezing. So feel a little bit poo lol
BUT Sunday I am visiting my 4 week old puppy for the first time AND then visiting my bezzies 10 day old baby (that will hurt) then off on holiday! So I can't complain really as I have an amazing weekend in store to cheer me up 🥰☺️

@Lizziedu49 Also feel like AF is on the way, been to the loo to check a couple of times. Think I am out this month! Onto the next. Fertile week is over Christmas period with ovulation expected on Boxing day. Vivid dreams sound promising for you though.

What type of dog are you getting? We got a puppy last year and he's literally my world!

@Gillsg141290 Any news from you?

@FingersCrossedXXX don't lose hope yet! I keep on holding off weeing as worried about seeing AF 😩
I'm getting a blue and white whippet, I've already named him Louie. What's your dog? Any tips? 🤓

@FingersCrossedXXX test bought just about to do. Still might be too early though x

@Gillsg141290 And.......what was the result?

@Lizziedu49 Oh how lovely, my parents dog is a Whippet cross and is lovely, lots of energy and very loving!!

I have a frenchie/boston terrier cross. Considering Frenchies are usually quite lazy, our dog seems to have more of the Boston side and is a complete nutter!

Not sure of tips, we got quite lucky in that he was a quick learner and didn't cause too much trouble...though we are softies and let him sleep in our bed (which I know most people don't like) so didn't have the issue of trying to get him to settle elsewhere in the house. I would say try to socialise him/her as much as you can, even before they can go for walks. We used to take ours to the pub etc (and he would sit on our laps) but it got him used to being in busy environments with other people and dogs really quickly and now we take him all the time!

@FingersCrossedXXX that's brilliant advice.
I just took a friend's dog for a walk at work and bumped into a lady I know from HR who saw me and said "AH YOU'RE PREGNANT.... I mean getting a puppy" I almost had a heart attack!!!! Maybe this is an omen 😅😂

@Lizziedu49 Its a SIGN! Haha.

@Lizziedu49 ahh sounds like fun!! I love animals ❤️ dogs cats the lot lol. Good luck to you!! I'm literally trying to tie up everything here and pack! That'll keep me busy. Hoping I'll be violently sick on the plane I'll bloody take it if I'm pregnant!!!! Give it to meeeeeee hahahaah

@FingersCrossedXXX when are you due? I'm fertile over Xmas again too, I ovulate the 30th December. We will be flying back. The 31st! So just about time to enjoy holiday making baby sex!!
