Moving on from the October threads, join in those that will be testing at the end of November. (Which also happens to be my birthday!)

@Prettygirl5545 it’s true we should really wait but I’m terrible & cant i took some yday & today & im only 6 DPO. Probably keep taking them until AF shows up. I’ve been checking my cervix position since last night too after reading up about that 😂xx

PrettyGirl5545 · 06/11/2019 19:20

@nt1992 Yeah i was doing the same in the past months, but it was stressing me a lot, so i have thought of not testing before 12 dpo. And what is about cervix position sister? Have never heard anything about it. And usually i am dry a day before AF arrives,but this time I'm dry before 5 days. I'm so worried.

nt1992 · 06/11/2019 20:06

@Prettygirl5545 I’m not sure about the dryness mrs, I’m terrible for googling stuff. I’m so fed up with the waiting now!

PrettyGirl5545 · 06/11/2019 20:17

I'm tired as well sister. My DH has also strictly prohibited me from googling lol.

Mangaroo · 06/11/2019 20:19

@nt1992 I also intentionally test early, because if it is negative, I still have hope. Somehow can't face a definitive BFN straight away.

nt1992 · 06/11/2019 20:21

@PrettyGirl5545 I’m also tired, sensitive boobs, had cramps days 2 3 4 DPO but they’ve stopped. @Mangaroo I can’t help myself I just keep hoping for that second line!

PrettyGirl5545 · 06/11/2019 20:46

@nt1992 Same here. Felt dizzy since evening and suddenly started feeling sensitive boobs. I hope i can see that adamant second line this time. Wow that you don't have cramps anymore. It could be implantation, though its unlikely to happen so earlier. Fingers crossed for u and me.

nt1992 · 06/11/2019 20:53

@Prettygirl5545 fingers crossed for us both my lovely!

I have woke up in the foulest of moods this morning, night number 4 of no action! Wtf! Then he made a comment this morning about my folic acid. I said I dont know why I'm taking it as theres zero attempt of making a baby. His reason for no sex, is because it's a weekday! Seriously!!! We can only have sex on a weekend, so doesn't matter if I'm fertile or not. I'm so pissed off this morning!!!

@feeling slightly deflated this morning, checked my cervix again, have been doing this for last few days so I can track changes. It was high last 2 days & closed I could barely reach it. This morning it’s definitely came down a bit it’s softer and open slightly😞 don’t think this is my month now xx

Ellsbells112 · 07/11/2019 08:30

@Skygirl1983 I'm sorry ❤❤ that's so annoying! God he sounds like my partner but when we arent trying! Scheduling sex 🤦‍♀️ I don't know what to say but cheer up? Maybe this will make you laugh because I in bloody shock, ia this a symptom? 🤣🤣🤣 I just shat myself!!! Like LEGIT fucking shat myself! I have NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I went to pass wind, didnt realise I let some out even!! Went on the toilet had diarrhea (sorry) and then bloody saw it on my legs andon my dressing gown!!! Oh my gawd what the hell! 🤣🤣

@nt1992 stop it right now! Lol I know that low isnt said to be a good sign but soft is! So you dont know really dont over think it! I have no symptoms and I'm like for gods sake it's not happened again! Infuriating x

nt1992 · 07/11/2019 08:38

@Ellsbells112 these cramps have came back & im not due AF for another 8 days, I hate this I just want to know now even if it means AF coming I hate the wait. Someone needs to tie my hands so I can’t feel my cervix or take tests🙄😂

@Ellsbbells112 I honestly dont know what is going on in his head. It was only at the weekend he said to me how he thought he needed to be more affectionat as he knows how it makes me feel yet I get the knock back 4 times in a row! Way to make me feel more wanted!
But omg!! Are you ok??? I must admit it did make me giggle. At least you were at home when it happened!! 😂😂

@Skygirl1983 I swear guys have a period every month as well. Maybe sometimes every week! 😂

@Ellsbells112 don't worry, I've done the same 😂 I did have food poisoning at the time though lol

Louu99 · 07/11/2019 10:01

@Ellsbells112 OHHH that made me laugh haha I'm sorry!! I have a similar story, but not from a possible pregnancy symptom! I had a terrible sickness bug (I'd been to Africa, it was all very dodgy, public health came and everything!) and I was being so sick on the floor that I shat and peed myself at the same time hahaha I was about 25, just crying to my mother that I'd pooped 😂😂 that's probably TMI but I thought I'd share my poop story... with the world hahaha x

nt1992 · 07/11/2019 10:03

@Ellsbells112 I don’t know if it was my cervix I felt earlier because now it’s hard to reach again soft and wet🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

@mellymoo86 I think so! His new favourite phrase also is 'I'm not a piece of meat!' You'd think I was jumping on him all the time!! I know fine well my pregnancy will be shit when it happens and I'll have to have a c section so he'll be off the hook for a good 9 months! But we need to get there first!! His suffering is minimal! Haha!

@Louu99 @Ellsbells112 so glad I came back on this morning that is hilarious!!! Just what is needed through all this TTC stress.

@Skygirl1983 so sorry to hear you had a rubbish night!! It can be deflating at the best of times but especially when there's a reason for it all and timing is so important!! On a weeknight, I'm assuming he wants his sleep... could you agree to go to bed half and hour early?? Or break it down for him that the fertile window is the only opportunity so is pointless at weekend if it's not fallen then? I think you've to be brutally honest with him and ask him is he wanting a baby because this is the way it works and hes not seeming very committed to TTC! 😕 But dont despair sometimes they just need a bang on the head!! x

Ellsbells112 · 07/11/2019 12:05

@Skygirl1983 honestly men can be so shit though with affection etc but definitely sit him down and explain you cant get pregnant unless during the fertile window which is REALLY small lol and each month you only have lole a 25 percent chance ce of catching or something so him dicking around will make the process longer! That's what I'd say lol.

I'm fine now 🤣🤣 dunno what happened urgh!! Haha

@Louu99 @CiaraJ01 @mellymoo86
Hahaha!! Omg its horrible but I thought it would give you guys a good laugh in this shit 2ww 🤣 tbf when I came back from ireland about 3 weeks ago my sister got Ill then I bloody followed suit didnt I and she was staying with me because she lived in Australia, so, there we are being sick and going toilet at the same damn time tag teaming!!! My poor partner, I woke up in the night and was like, put your headphones in now and listen to.soemthing!!! Looooool he said it was ground zero in here 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 facking hell Haha

How is everyone doing though? Any symptoms 😬😬 I want some sort of show and totally lost my patience already!

nt1992 · 07/11/2019 12:12

I’m feeling a bit queasy today but don’t know if it’s in my head and my boobs are a bit more sorer today 😂

Thanks ladies. I'm feeling a bit better now. He does want a baby, he thinks it'll just happen though. Which we all know is a lovely thought but reality of it means you have to put a bit of effort in. When I try and explain cycles etc to him he just gets all funny about it and its pointless. I'll try and have a chat with him but I think I'll just have to do my stuff in the background and hope that when he is up for it its during the right time!!!

This time I am trying a fertility nutrition plan from a dietitian, hope it helps!

mrsio · 07/11/2019 15:44

I've just been laughing so hard at work that someone asked what was so funny. How on earth would I try and explain that!

I was so lucky the first time we TTC that my ovulation fell on a weekend. Otherwise I don't know if we'd ever have conceived! I don't even know if/when I'll ovulate this time around (still no positive opk despite being on CD17 but the next batch have just been delivered today!). He did make a comment the other day about the pressure of it when he know its my fertile time so I do think that plays a major part when they're being weird about DTD

CiaraJ01 · 07/11/2019 15:53

@Ellsbells112 are you Irish?? Your poor partner, nothing like shitting yourself to step the relationship to the next level 😂😂 You know its true love 🤷‍♀️

@Skygirl1983 hope you're feeling better! Men just dont get it 🤷‍♀️ Maybe just send him subliminal messages around your fertile week and hope for the best! Fingers crossed after a chat though he realises its mot that easy to just fall on!
