We've all done it @nt1992 😂

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 07:52

@Mum2boyss i felt like I was going nuts 😂 and because I posted pics last night it's not letting me show yous!😫

mellymoo86 · 12/12/2019 08:09

@nt1992 Aww I can imagine you're going nuts. Can you pop to the shops and get one today? How quick after the test did you take it apart? I've seen online that if you leave it to long you shouldn't take that as your accurate result 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Ellsbells112 I need some BBT advise.

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 08:14

@mellymoo86 I kept checking on it I took it yesterday afternoon after 4 maybe and I kept checking it I was sure there was something there which is why I didn't bin it.

Checked this morning still felt the same so I took it to bit🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

CiaraJ01 · 12/12/2019 08:59

@Blondeandbroody and @mellymoo86 well I"ve had a better nights sleep!! Still not 100% and I dodnt feel great when my alarm went off for the gym, bit nauseous but I think I'd been woken from that deep sleep too quick! Put the phone down and went to bed an hour earlier and listened to some 'pink noise'?! Did the trick although still woke up a few times I managed to drift back off.

Although this probably does not help ⬅️⬅️

@nt1992 it's ok this whole process makes us all a little crazy! Can you pick up another test today?

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 09:26

@CiaraJ01 I can't get any today but I have the little strips still so I'll maybe do one of those just patiently waiting for FRER coming tomorrow

Blondeandbroody · 12/12/2019 09:53

@CiaraJ01 glad you slept better. I only had about 6 hours sleep as I had my works do went back to the hotel early but still ended up watching some junk tv called angels of the north til midnight ha ha! Slept well tho the hotels bed and pillows were like clouds.

I've felt nauseous today I thought I was going to throw up twice this morning getti ready and the feeling has come and gone since then on the train home etc. I only had two drinks nowhere near enough to give me this nausea. Could be nerves tho too!

Got a busy day today so hopefully won't think about it at all.

I'm holding a wee in as we speak LOL tempted to just do an IC after having spotting this week and now nausea. It's too early but still tempted all the same ha!

CiaraJ01 · 12/12/2019 10:08

@Blondeandbroody I know the feeling of temptation! Between the insomnia and nausea I'm starting to symptom spot 😂😂

But I've only got cheapies at home so I know theres no point! I love hotel beds 😍

@nt1992 I could not wait 😂😂 I'd be seriously tempted to nip to a shop at lunchtime! 😂

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 10:11

@CiaraJ01 we only have an Asda and they don't sell FRER😭

CiaraJ01 · 12/12/2019 10:33

😣😣😣😣 ohhh!! What about a clear blue?? (I'm very uneducated on which are best sorry!! 😂😂) How many DPO are you now? I've asked a million times but I cant even remember my own I have to keep checking in the app!

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 11:12

@CiaraJ01 I'm 11 DPO today 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ it's going to be a long wait today & tomorrow at work waiting to go home & use FRER😫😂

mellymoo86 · 12/12/2019 11:35

@nt1992 Maybe try a cheap one in the mean time but then a negative might make you more anxious. There's no winning with this ttc business.

@CiaraJ01 that drink looks yummy 😍 glad to hear you got a better sleep. Progesterone is great and essential but it also makes us feel shite. I was reading online that the way progesterone makes us feel is similar to the aftermath of drinking to much. In regards to not being able to sleep well, being happy and then sad, appetite either being high or low. It's tough being a woman!!

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 11:47

@mellymoo86 I have lots of strips but they are rubbish they takes ages to dry😞

mellymoo86 · 12/12/2019 11:53

@nt1992 yeah and they are as sensitive so won't show anything until probably 14-15dpo

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 12:01

@mellymoo86 I know 🤦🏽‍♀️ don't know why I took the 2 frer yday so stupid😞

CiaraJ01 · 12/12/2019 12:27

@nt1992 I'm not far behind you then, I'm 8 DPO. We all have temptation don;t worry about it! Plan something nice for tea or distract yourself making plans for the weekend and tomorrow will come quick enough!

@mellymoo86 you're like our inhouse pre-midwife guru lol! That's exactly how I've been feeling. And I do think in the few days before AF I'm always worn out but never slow down with the weight training and work - till I'm properly fed up! Thats the reason for the calorific coffee this morning, I start work late and take 20 mins out to have a posh drink in the shop rather than always rushing round like a headless chicken.

So we all know we should wait till AF is due or late o test - but whats the average people wait before they test early??

mellymoo86 · 12/12/2019 12:47

@CiaraJ01 I know you like to work out and rush around but during this period make sure you rest. If you are stressed, tired etc your body doesn't prioritise making a baby. It prioritises looking after you and making sure you are well. Once everything goes well and you progress through pregnancy then your body priorities that. I think that's why they say not to drink because of the after affects of it your body goes into the same look after you mode and uses all its energy to do it. Not to mention the chemical imbalance alcohol causes. The body is amazing!

nt1992 · 12/12/2019 12:48

I could maybe get clear blue but I've heard bad things about the blue dye🤦🏽‍♀️

CiaraJ01 · 12/12/2019 13:47

@mellymoo86 thank you. It's so hard! I try to keep busy to avoid symptom spotting and make the 2ww go faster - but then get stressed by doing too much which is counterproductive! But I'm slowly starting to learn to not fight the tiredness/weakness at the gym - and relax with my food to avoid grouchiness lol.

@nt1992 - CB is worth a shot for your sanity at least (and getting the drug type fix of POAS ha!)

Skygirl1983 · 12/12/2019 14:39

My 2nd younger sister has just announced her pregnancy. She got married 2 weeks before me so I'm guessing it is a honeymoon baby. Over the moon for her but cant help the pang of sadness. That's 3 people I know of who have honeymoon babies recently.

@Skygirl1983 Congrats to your sister and I know what you mean. Seems like everyone is getting pregnant but you. It'll happen for you soon though 🤗

FutureMrsSmith · 12/12/2019 16:05

@Skygirl1983 it could be you anytime now and then you'll be grateful of a maternity partner in crime!
@nt1992 I can see something on the 2nd picture
