@CiaraJ01 Woohoo Diet Coke. How exciting lol! Not long to go now, fingers crossed for you. I guess you never really know until AF arrives. I just finished hosting a dinner party for some friends. I didn't drink and thankfully they didn't really notice or comment. The girl doesn't really drink so that helped. I think the more I do it the more I'm getting used to it. Going out with a friend for dinner was hard enough but now I've had a dinner party 🥳 😯

@Skygirl1983 the laid back method is always the best and you also have symptoms which is good. This period might help to keep us all a little extra distracted. 🤞🏽

@nt1992 Definitely try to wait until Sunday if you're able to. A busy day tomorrow will help. I'm having a chilled weekend, can't rmr the last tome I had one.

Hello ladies! I'm done with my period! On cycle day 8.
Everything crossed for u @nt1992

nt1992 · 14/12/2019 04:29

@PrettyGirl5545 thank you! Sending you baby dust this cycle 🤞🏼

nt1992 · 14/12/2019 08:56

Woke up I'm so full of gas, absolutely burning up to the point where I feel faint cervix is medium-high & closed - 13 DPO. Either I'm pregnant or I'm coming down with something 😭😭😭

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 09:50

Good morning baby makers!

@mellymoo86 well done on the alcohol free dinner party! Actually well done in the dinner party in general, I've never hosted! I've not really drank in the house for months now so definitely getting used to it, although visiting home will be a little harder as Irish people almost prefer house parties to pubs so it's a social thing to have a few drinks after dinner in the weekend with family and I'll struggle to escape that. I've thought if I get my BFP and I tell them on Christmas day (that's the dream 🥰) I'll have to buy non alcoholic and randomly pull the labels off 😂😂

I'm glad we're all learning to chill. It can only benefit us and we have enough hormones going on! My PT tried to move my session from 11am to 8am this morning so I've said I'd rather cancel and have a relaxed morning! So I'm say in bed with a coffee. Which is another point... avoiding caffeine anyone??

@nt1992 nit long to go now 🤞🤞

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 09:51

PS does anyone else start to feel this is like writing in a diary? 😂😂 Getting all your thoughts written down each day as a stress reliever?!

nt1992 · 14/12/2019 09:52

@CiaraJ01 I'm sweating like no other I can't cope😫😂

nt1992 · 14/12/2019 10:18

Look at this review on my cheap strips🤦🏽‍♀️

@CiaraJ01 Hahaha the extent we go to. I'm contemplating inviting my friend over tonight but then I'll need to sort out some food for her or get takeaway which I don't want to do as I've been eating badly this week, so in conclusion I've answered my own question lol.

Well done on cancelling and relaxing. 😊 I don't drink anything with caffeine but read online the occasional cup of coffee is ok.

I'm still in bed. It's looks lovely outside so we are going to get ice cream. Yes I'm aware it's bloody cold outside 😂

I've definitely felt like this was writing in a diary for a while now. It's a mind dump 😂

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 11:37

@nt1992 what strips are they? Only one bad and three good, theres always one! Have you one FRER left?

I plan on doing nothing tonight!! My OH is off out on his works do so I've the house to myself. Can I have a warm ish bath?! 😂
I probably drink more than the occasional cup of coffee, it's definitely a vice 🙈

Where in the country are you Melly?! It is absolutely peeing it down here with a bit if hail for extra misery. I was looking at I've cream last night 😂 Let's hope it's a craving 😂😂

nt1992 · 14/12/2019 11:42

@CiaraJ01 these! So don't buy them😂 yeh I do but I'm just heading out for the day and im trying so hard to hold off been using the little strips but clearly they're no use!

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 11:45

Ah they have a good star rating though!

nt1992 · 14/12/2019 12:33

@CiaraJ01 I know that's why I got them but it's not until you look in to the reviews that makes you wonder

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 14:42

@CiaraJ01 Yeah why not, have a Luke warm bath. I like it really hot so I cant be bothered to have a warm one, I'll probably still feel cold lol. I'm down in Reading, it's not to bad. I got my Ferrero rocher ice cream - DELICIOUS 😍 Now back at home and chilling. Plan to do nothing today. 😁 Arent you like 10DPO today? I'm 3DPO now.

@nt1992 They're the ones I have but hardly used them. I bought a whole load of CB and FRER so I'll use that later on closer to AF.

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 14:50

@nt1992 I think there will always be one or two negative ones. As long as theres an overall high star rating they should be ok.

Lucky you @mellymoo86, Ferrero Roche icecream sounds amazing! I've headed to the shops to pick my very last presents and I'm done 🥳 Yep 10 DPO today, but long left! Still no symptoms bar the insomnia that's gone now so still relaxed. I might yest Monday but only gave the strips similar to @nt1992 ones...

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 15:09

@CiaraJ01 I think if you're going to test use something like a FRER. You don't want to be thinking 'well this is a cheap one, let me use a FRER tomorrow' type thing.

Must be a relief to be done with all the shopping. I'm done and also packed now. OH keeps stressing that his presents for me haven't come yet 😂 he is stressing about me when I've had to buy everything for all our family! Men! This morning he was like oh crap I didn't get you a card? Did you get me one? Oh man! Lol how romantic. Donut head lol.

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 15:15

Does anyone know of any good progesterone test kits for home? Doesn't seem like they do strips for that hormone. I found one but it's in the US. 😏

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 15:41

@mellymoo86 my OH is the exact same! Hes like I'm not going to have tome to get yours before you go away...em you have like one present to get!! Ive wcen bought and wrote all his family Xmas cards! they've no idea...

You must be so excited, when do you fly again?!

I've no FRERs left. Suppose I'll need ti order them you're probably right, I'll only wonder with the cheapies... Sorry ant help on the progesterone kits x

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 15:51

@CiaraJ01 Haha good to hear other men are like this to. Fly? Was that bit for someone else? Yeah definitely get a FRER if you can. It's just not worth the mind games you know. I need to control myself during this period as much as possible so I don't test early.

Blondeandbroody · 14/12/2019 16:16

Don't think I've posted this in here, Sainsbury's test (I know) last night. Not sure there's actually anything to see tbh. I see a super vague shadow of a line 🤷🏼‍♀️

Don't worry my hopes aren't up! It's still a bit early due AF on Wednesday.

Used a cheapie this morning and it was blank, so I've ordered FRER (I love amazon) they should come tomorrow and I'll use them Monday or Tuesday and save one for when/if AF is late.

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 16:45

@Blondeandbroody I see a faint line! Yeah test again with FRER and see what it shows. Hopefully you get a darker line in the next few days 🎉🎉

CiaraJ01 · 14/12/2019 17:40

@mellymoo86 I did confuse you. Sorry you said you were packing and I was actually checking in from the shopping centre so had a mind block and it was you going to Oz 😂.
@Blondeandbroody fingers crossed!! My screens rubbed I cant judge but baby dust 💕

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 17:46

Haha no worries, no that's @Ellsbells112 I believe. @Ellsbells112 where are youuuu!!??

mellymoo86 · 14/12/2019 17:46

@CiaraJ01 oops forgot to tag you
