Put down the pee sticks!

[BabyB19]

Hi ladies

Please tag away anyone you think would want to be added...

@bluetue @ceebee21 @dizzy85 @Jonesbabynumber1 @Tbug

And welcome to any newbies that want to join this mad mad world of trying to conceive x

@BabyB19 tried and tested before - virgin G&T or vodka and coke- no one would ever know 👌 I even fooled my partner who knew at the time of us testing BFP ( had a chemical in the end...) He came to me and said with such concerned tone :"why the hell are you drinking Gin if you tested positive!?" 🤣 plenty of lime will food the most suspicious

@SunnyFlover 🤣🤣 yes on the mid cycle obsession !! 🤣🤣 it's only my first month trying but to be honest it was about the least romantic love making we've ever had I actually felt so deceitful and strange demanding he be ready tonight ! And tomorrow .. etc haha I think it's a weird woman guilt thing, he wants this too he just bloody doesn't know how it all works and besides they should enjoy the process this kind of demanding love making won't be forever 🤣🤣🤣 I actually suffer with the worst utis after dtd does anyone have any advice ?x

@Newbie1992 my friend is the same with uti's and she was told to make sure she pees straight after?
@SunnyFlover @Blondeandbroody I will be at a family party doing toasts etc so I don't think I'll be able to hide it tbh 😭🤣 I'll try every trick in the book though. I might just tell my sis who is also trying and she can help me cover it up, or we'll be covering for eachother hopefully!

Hey everyone,
CD 30 today and no sign of Af.
I did POAS this morning though and it was negative as expected! I'm out tomorrow for work Christmas dinner and just needed it to be confirmed!!
I had a 27/28 day cycle last few months! This month is just messed up. Might go back to use ovulation tests next cycle.
I'm 38 in March, if it doesn't happen for me by end of 2020 I will give up 😢
How old are you guys?

@ShiningStarz sending lots of hugs 🤗!!

It's so annoying it's not all textbook! Ikn using opk this month but I'm not sure why 😂 I think it's the poas obsession 🤣

I'm 24 this month x

@BabyB19 good idea recruiting somebody to help haha!

Just don't mention that you're not drinking to anybody and then find little ways to try and hide it. You'll be fine and 1 sip won't hurt if you have to do a toast! Then casually sly off to top up somebody else's glass with yours haha!!

Funny the things we have to think about and do!

I'm 32 @ShiningStarz I have no other children and wish I hadn't left it until now!
@Blondeandbroody it's crazy, I'm trying not to plan too much as I don't want to be disappointed if it doesn't happen 😞 but at least we can party over Christmas stressfree if it's a bfn. I think that's why I'm not stressed about it now x

@BabyB19 I'm a planner so I struggle to not plan, or at least consider things I probably shouldn't do early on, you know like which nursery and which school, child care, the nursery layout, maternity clothes, how I'm going to tell my boss, my family, where I'm going to store all the stuff, you name it I've thought about it... 😂

It's hard because it comes from the excitement but yeah it's good to remind ourselves that it might not happen and look for a positive to that. Christmas is a great one!

I am struggling to be excited about Christmas because I'm due AF before so I can't think of anything else!

I have my works Christmas party next week and I don't even want to go because I'll be at CD24 and won't want to drink and will be constantly thinking about POAS soon haha! Resisting the urge to POAS.

I can't wait to get either a BFN or BFP now (hopefully the latter obvs) just so I know and can move onto the next cycle with a clearer picture of my cycle than I had this month.

I say let yourself plan just so long as you always have that little voice in you saying but don't forget.... so you don't get too disappointed. Let's face it no matter how excited we are or how relaxed we are, a BFN is gonna cause disappointment!

Is anyone suffering with migraines? I think it's just down to my hormones but I'm waking up nearly every day with a headache that if I don't catch early I'd making me feel poo 😩

Hope you don't mind me jumping in!

I'm 31, ttc baby no. 1.

I'm CD40 and 7 days late and have been testing since CD20 (ridiculous I know but I couldnt help it 😂)

Hi @Cheetos welcome, is this your first cycle off contraception?
@MrsCl19 I used to get bad head all the time but since coming off the pill not as bad, I do get one before AF comes though.
@Blondeandbroody it's great to plan, I'm a bit of a control freak too but the longer I'm trying for the less obsessive I am because I know it may take a good while 😭🤦🏽‍♀️ x

@BabyB19 that’s the worst part isn’t it I’m struggling and it’s only cycle 1 for me. It will happen for you eventually, you’ll be rewarded for all your patience and suffering in the end xx

@BabyB19 thank you! No, I came off the pill in July but I was on it for 12 years so I'm only starting to get a bit impatient now

Hi everyone, I don't know if anyone can help me. I had a missed miscarriage on the 4th of November at 10 weeks and had medical management. My period started on the 30th November and has finished today.
I started using clear blue digital ovulation sticks after my miscarriage and got four days of the circle and then 8days of flashing smile before my period started. I have since tested yesterday and today and again got flashing smile. What should I do? Keep testing or is it all a bit confused because of my miscarriage?
Very keep to try and conceive again, hoping December can be a happy month! X

I'm now 26dpo I had spotting from Sunday to Wednesday the week just gone, every test has a faint line, I waited 2 days and done another digital it says "not pregnant" I pulled it apart and there was a second faint line and weeks innovator a little darker then 2 days ago. I went to the doctors his test provided a bfn (faint line) but not real noticeable, he's have me blood test forms but I haven't had a chance to get my bloods taken. I have a photo, photos are hard to do the object justice but there are 2 visible blue lines on this one but still had a "not pregnant" on screen (photo taken seconds after the"not pregnant" as I pulled apart straight away

@BabyB19 it'll happen when it's meant to happen🤞 I started 'trying' at 31.

Well I'm hungover! Girls night out last night!! Woke to hangover and AF!!!! Day 32 for me this month!!!! Bring on this month, will be DTD a lot over Christmas 🙈🤣
Painkillers (head and stomach!!!) and bed day for me!!!

@Peach7744 I'm so sorry to hear of your MC. I hope you are ok.
It's easier said than done but I would try and ignore the ov sticks!!
Your body can try and ovulate more than once in a cycle so I don't think they are accurate as they never know when you do ov. Lots of dtd throughout the cycle
My cycle ranges from 27-35 days! I try and make sure we are 'together' from day 10-20

@Jonesbabynumber1 where are you? I miss you 😭🤣
I'm having a day in bed hungover after the work Christmas party. Means lots of BDing though and now in fertile window so it's nice to just go with it no pressure but know it's also the right time xx

@BabyB19 aw bless you. I am here just nothing to report cd 9 which has come around quick which is nice. I’m still in the chilled daze which is lovely. I have moments where I’m like omg fertile window soon but that is soon gone. I’m planning on bding every other day from cd 8 to 20 to cover the whole month and hope it works. How are you what cd you on have you opk yet. I’m going to avoid opk this month I’m not even bothered about temping but have been keeping it going.

@Jonesbabynumber1 I've only done a couple this month as I'm sooo chilled I keep forgetting which is lovely! I've just got a 52LH though so think I'll get my peak later today or tomorrow which will be spot on for the CD 👍🏼

@BabyB19 are you cd 11? yes I’m the same until I see a baby or advert with kids. lovely to hear that your understanding your body and it’s doing what’s it’s meant to be doing x

My flo app says I’ll ovulate cd 12 and Femometer says cd16 so big difference hence the bd up until the 20th x

CD12 now @Jonesbabynumber1 still not 100% on that though as I had the two bleeds didn't I

@BabyB19 you’ll never know 100% all you can do is go with the flow and bd when you feel it’s right. It will happen when the time is right for your body x

It sure will, it will happen for us all eventually ☺️ @Jonesbabynumber1 I've been so lazy today and not even got out of bed! The Christmas party was obviously very well enjoyed x
