@Quiffy it's hard when you see people getting BFPs at like 6dpo etc; I am always happy for them but it makes me worry that cause I'm not getting one at 13dpo I'm out. Luckily I've read other people getting them at 17dpo etc so I know I'm not out yet. I just need to stop taking tests lol it's my own fault I am doing it to myself!!!

Cant wait for an answer either way now!

Quiffy · 17/12/2019 16:54

@Blondeandbroody tbf I'd be taking tests at every opportunity too! It's a crazy circle haha

Blondeandbroody · 17/12/2019 16:58

@Quiffy I've taken about 25 tests lol!! I have a serious problem!

Quiffy · 17/12/2019 17:10

@Blondeandbroody Omg!! I want to giggle but it's not funny, you'll be driven crazy! Maybe you should sit on your hands or hide the tests haha!

Blondeandbroody · 17/12/2019 17:22

@Quiffy don't worry I laugh at myself too, I'm
Ridiculous! I've got 3 left (ICs) we both know I'll use them tomorrow haha once they're gone I'm not buying any until AF is officially late!!!! Honest!!! Pinky swear!!

It's done me no good taking them so I don't see the point it's a waste of money!

Quiffy · 17/12/2019 17:26

@Blondeandbroody I know, it can feel like you're peeing right on notes at times. Get those ones used up tomorrow and hopefully see a BFP. At least Amazon is a wonderful/terrible place that will send over new ones the next day :D

Blondeandbroody · 17/12/2019 17:39

@Quiffy I won a £25 amazon voucher at work yesterday, DANGEROUS!!! Haha must spend it on productive things ASAP before I order 5 packs of FRERS and use them all in one day lolz

Quiffy · 17/12/2019 17:47

@Blondeandbroody That's like a sign from the fertility gods to spend it on baby making things and tests!!

Mrslane2019 · 17/12/2019 18:07

what app you guys use for test my ovulation test have green on the end is that different to the red

Quiffy · 17/12/2019 18:09

@Mrslane2019 I use femometer for my tests. The ovu tests I have are blue, just cheapies off of Amazon :)

MrsA2019 · 17/12/2019 19:09

@Mrslane2019 I use ones from amazon with green ends and then put them in the pre mom app under the 'other' section on ovulation tests

Ktn35 · 17/12/2019 23:54

@blondeandbroody when are you due? I am a week late tomorrow (I think I calculated wrong before) and it's driving me crazy ... All tests including first response are BFN 😭 surely no hope and yet I can't help but think maybe I will be one of those mythical people who don't get a positive test until about 6 months pregnant 😂😩 x

Ellsbells112 · 18/12/2019 07:21

@Sunflower2019 @quiffy @Katie1109

I think I see a sniff of a line again this morning but a. I thought that yesterday and b. I think it's an evap (or my imagination lol)

Confirmation of the nothing / evap theory surely!

Hey girls, sorry I wasn’t very chatty yesterday, me and my partner had a bit of a disagreement as per usual ended up sleeping in my daughters bed.

I sometimes feel like I’m going through this journey by myself bar having you girls. I think I get frustrated as I want my partner to be more chatty about the future and he isn’t I keep hinting to him about whether he would like to get engaged to me soon etc, I never get anything back. Anyway rant over….

Girls that are testing I hope you get some answers soon I hate being left in limbo. The trouble is even when you’re getting a sniff of a line it can not mean anything as I’ve had the last couple of months on first response.

@Ellsbells112 wow that looks lovely, least you have that to keep you going what a beautiful picture. Least you can have some drinks and a giggle and let your hair down. If you’d fallen pregnant you’d probably be feeling shattered and a bit under the weather.

I’m currently CD5 and last day of af! I was going to tell partner about SMEP but think it may put him off or what ever so I’m going to try do it without telling him 😂 I better make sure we only have arguments every other day 🤣

Anyway it’s my last day off and then I’m back to work and it’s panto season so it’s going to be crazy. I’m going downstairs to make a nice big coffee and get back into bed. I need to find some things to watch, we started watching Bates Motel last night, has anyone else watch this? It seemed okay xxx

Katie1109 · 18/12/2019 08:16

Morning ladies! How are we all?
@Ange211 sorry hun I cannot see anything, but photos are not the greatest, there is a glare on them x fingers crossed for you x
@Ellsbells112 hi there! Glad you're enjoying yourself and af has eased off a bit x look after yourself and have a great time!
@Quiffy how are you cycle buddy? CD10 today for both of us, opk this morning is still low, so I'll probably ovulate around CD15 as usual, which will fall on Monday, so need to make sure plenty of DTD over the weekend x

Katie1109 · 18/12/2019 08:20

@Sunflower2019 hi there! I know how you feel, my OH is exactly the same, not very open when it comes to talking about TTC etc, but I think this is just how a lot of men are. Following SMEP without him knowing is probably easier than trying to get him to follow it, at least he won't feel additional pressure. I've done that last cycle and he thoroughly enjoyed it without knowing, although my sex drive is pretty high normally, when it comes to FW I'm like an animal lol he does know when I'm in FW, at least he says he does lol x don't worry about arguments, we all argue x

Ange211 · 18/12/2019 08:28

@katie1109 my phone is pretty rubbish for photos but in all honesty I don't think they're much there anyway.
As @Sunflower2019 says a faint line doesn't necessarily mean anything. I've had a couple of chemicals so I should know better!!!!

Blondeandbroody · 18/12/2019 08:30

@Ktn35 I'm due today... hoping she stays away🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻.

Omg that must be so frustrating!! Fingers crossed you get your answer soon!!! Xx

Quiffy · 18/12/2019 09:37

@Sunflower2019 Hope you're okay x that sounds really frustrating, esp over getting more involved and looking to the future. TTC is stressful enough without being worried about your partner not being as engaged.

@katie1109 Low for me too! I peaked on cd13 last month so will see what he next few days brings. On full CM investigation mode today.

@Ellsbells112 That looks AMAZING!

@Blondeandbroody how you feeling this morning?

@Ange211 Can't see anything sorry :( hopefully you get some answers soon.

@Ktn35 ahhh that's so late. Bloody (no pun intended) bodies.

We were meant to DTD last night but we both fell asleep oops. So defo on for tonight. Well unless I murder him first. I asked him to put the dishes away this morning, he cheekily replied "what if I don't, you need me tonight wink wink". Not sure he realises that I just need his swimmers. I don't need to like him while we're DTD hehe.

Blondeandbroody · 18/12/2019 10:22

Hahaha oh @Quiffy your OH, that's funny! Bless him!

I feel okay, tested, negative so not really sure what it means.

I've felt on and off a smidge nauseous this AM and on and off cramps too.

Just gonna wait it out today now and see, if nothing by Friday I'll test again.

Starting to thinking maybe my cycles all messed up because of the pill but it's seemed pretty normal so far everything's happened at all the right times, I think! Plus my cycle was semi regular on the pill.

CP is high but I swear I checked twice within space of 10 mins yesterday and it had drastically changed between so I think that's just complete nonsense haha

Sunflower2019 · 18/12/2019 11:23

Hey girls, thanks for all of your replies 😘 he messaged me from work saying he’s going to try but it is also in my head 🤔 anyway we will see! Just done a sort out of kitchen cupboards not all of them but some, you don’t realise how much crap you’ve not used that need chucking!

Have bought some little baskets so I can organise things, my make up drawers are ridiculous, I keep them in my wardrobe but always changing foundations so have about 20! 🤣

I’ve ran out of cheapy opks so dunno whether to get some or just keep to clearblue, I find the cheapy ones better to use as you can miss the peak on the clearblue as testing in morning, I managed to get it last cycle though so fingers crossed 🤞

This period seems heavier and lasting longer than the last 5 cycles so I think my body is also evening itself out from the pill.

I have my daughters carol service tonight which will be sweet then may get into bed and do some SMEP reading! Xx

Katie1109 · 18/12/2019 15:16

CD10 and already feeling pinching on the left side, which would be right because I believe I ovulated from the right last cycle x opk this afternoon still faint x

Quiffy · 18/12/2019 16:29

@Blondeandbroody Waiting until Friday sounds like a good plan (easier said than done I know!)

@Sunflower2019 At least that is some progress, I'm sure it's not in your head. Can only wait and see.

I need to have a good cupboard clearout myself. Think that's a Januaury job though. Enjoy the carol service!

@Katie1109 That's super interesting, I dont think I've felt a side before. Although I'm intrigued by the idea you get spots on the same side as you ovulate. I got loads on my left cheek/chin last month.

I dont know about anyone else, but I am so ready for a 2 week holiday. Cant remember when I last took that long off, so uber excited. I've had the joys of writing about Brony dating (you don't want to know) this afternoon. Friday evening cannot come quick enough.
