So happy for you! ❤️

dizzy85 · 16/12/2019 17:42

How is everyone else getting along? Is anyone close to testing yet?

Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 17:56

@dizzy85 I'm due AF on Wednesday. Not testing with anything but ICs until/if I'm late x

FRER today was negative 👎

Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 17:56

By that I mean I am no longer testing with anything but ICs until I'm late cause it's costing me a fortune my obsession to POAS

BabyB19 · 16/12/2019 18:00

Thanks @Tbug hope you're not far behind me! ❤️

Fab @BabyB19 so pleased for you ❤️

Think I’ll just BD lots and not worry about ovulation tests this month! CD day 10 today!!

BabyB19 · 16/12/2019 18:21

@ShiningStarz you might as well just go for it, I did the opk's and I think they were way off as I wouldn't be getting these strong lines so early if they were right so god knows when I OV! Good luck and thank you ❤️

@Blondeandbroody ah sorry it was negative today. My af due in a week but already getting the urge to test but don't have any cheap ones so holding off as long as I can 😆

BabyB19 · 16/12/2019 19:49

When does everyone else plan on testing?...

OP posts:
Blondeandbroody · 16/12/2019 20:12

I will no doubt test tomorrow with my ICs and then wait until Wednesday for AF to hopefully not show up! Then I'll go get some better tests and use them if she's not come by Thursday AM. I'm not confident tho I feel I should have gotten at least a squinted on FRER by now x

MrsCl19 · 16/12/2019 20:19

I'm going to test Friday with an ic because I'm going out out but pretty sure I haven't ov yet 😂 so it's pointless but just in case 🤣 going to keep doing opk and see if I get a positive 🤷🏼‍♀️

dizzy85 · 16/12/2019 20:21

Im probably gonna get some tests from Poundland tomorrow and do one Wednesday. Im not overly confident either but only from lack of dtd this month but it does only take the once so I'm still positive at this point. Bring on some more bfps 😊

BabyB19 · 16/12/2019 20:30

Good luck to you all @dizzy85 @MrsCl19 @Blondeandbroody it does only take the once and it happens when you're not expecting it too most of the time doesn't it! X

@BabyB19 Thankyou. I really can't wait to find out what's what now the second week is always the longest.

ceebee21 · 16/12/2019 21:34

Think I will be testing on Monday...so hard to resist xx

dizzy85 · 16/12/2019 21:57

@ceebee21 I really wanted to wait until Sunday as af due Monday but I doubt I'm gonna be able to my willpower is fading fast.

ceebee21 · 16/12/2019 22:05

Well my LP is only 11 days...so Monday is 9...so hard to wait!!!

@dizzy85

TigerJoy · 16/12/2019 22:32

Hello can I join? Been ttc for a year - age 41 so really trying not to give up. Been told everything looks ok and I shouldn't give up but feeling stressed about...considering ivf soon...

Jonesbabynumber1 · 16/12/2019 22:39

@TigerJoy all welcome here. @ceebee21 when are you counting post ovulation from. I haven’t even thought about testing concentrating on getting past cycle day 20 at moment. Still going for record of bding in a row if you had told me at start of this journey I’d bd 7 days in a row I would have said stuff that 😅

TigerJoy · 16/12/2019 22:53

Day 1 of AF and feeling sad. Have given it a really good shot the last few months. Been peeing on sticks and taking basal temp but also been advised just to do it every 3 days throughout the cycle!

ceebee21 · 16/12/2019 22:56

@Jonesbabynumber1 I'm going with OV late Saturday early Sunday....i just know I won't wait until after Xmas haha I'll see how my temps go though...what are yours doing xx

ShiningStarz · 16/12/2019 23:00

Hi @TigerJoy welcome to the group 😊
I am 38 and have been trying for over 4 years.. I did manage to get my bfp once but sadly ended in mmc. I couldn’t believe it actually happened tho!!
I hope it happens for you soon. Day 1 of AF is just crap isn’t it 😢
I was also advised to do it every 2 days and no tracking anything... it’s hard not to tho!!
Has your partner been tested?

TigerJoy · 16/12/2019 23:24

Yes and he's basically fine. Not perfect samples but two tests slightly crap in different ways...and as the doc said, we only need 1!

ShiningStarz · 16/12/2019 23:29

The lucky one 😊 @TigerJoy 🤞

TigerJoy · 17/12/2019 03:44

And I'm sorry about your mmc @shiningstarz. Fingers crossed for you. Have you had any tests done?

I've been told I probably have endo as well. At my age chances of mmc are 50% even without. Lalalala. I come from a family where everyone gets pregnant at the drop of a hat...not really thought I'd struggle.
