@Katie1109 @Quiffy @Ellsbells112 thanks for the advice ladies. You are right. No point holding off on things on what might be.

Ellsbells112 · 07/01/2020 14:05

@ange211 I've put on about the same since Ttc!!! Oh my god its bad! First day back at the gym for me lol. Also, I thought it was the best time to dtd once I got a silod smiley, but turns out since I've been temping the day I got my solid was the day I also got my temp rise?! Obvi everyone is diff with ovulation but I realise now it's good I'm doing temping to see what is exactly going on x

@Katie1109 if it makes you feel any better, I did an IC last night CD5 because I have been having awful cramps after my period and convinced myself I might still be pregnant from last month....

Oh the shame!

Katie1109 · 07/01/2020 14:28

@Beau2019 thanks hun x I’m glad I’m not the only one clutching at straws x I was just hoping it was late IB because my cycle was only 26 days and I started to bleed on 13DPO x

@katie1109 @Beau2019 I don’t think I fully give up on being pregnant until I get the positive opk for next cycle. It’s really hard, esp when there’s always that tiny chance it could be true. It’s just a sucky thing to go through :(

@Ange211 sorry about the MC :( we can do this @Ellsbells112 new year and new decade, we can make it a healthy bump year too 🤞❤️

@beau2019 I’ve only ever used cheap opks on Amazon, the clear blue look good but so expensive!

@ellsbells112 ah it’s so hard with everything, esp when the temp drop could be a implantation dip or just a funny day.

Beau2019 · 07/01/2020 15:42

@Quiffy yeah you are totally right! I tried the whole 'give up and it will happen approach' last month and it didn't work sooooo here I am hahaa

I knowwwww, CB are ridiculous but I hate having to wee in a little pot and dip it - I always spill the wee. Whereas I can wee on that little stick, throw it in my pocket and it's done by the time I get back from walking the dog. I'm going with practicality over price. Plus I love that smug little face you get.

@Katie1109 Sorry darling I can't see anything 🙁 I bought a cheapy in Asda earlier today, one of those Freedom ones lol but haven't dared do it yet, I think it's too early anyway but can't help myself!!! It's sat in my handbag.. taunting me 😐 I know I'll end up doing it tomorrow morning.. should probably save myself the heartache, I could be anything from 5-8 dpo really 🙄

Katie1109 · 07/01/2020 16:04

@Quiffy I know I’m exactly the same with my cycles x my opk is already classed as high on Femometer with LH 22 result on CD4 😩 it just drives me nuts, deep inside I know I’m not pg but up until about CD8 I always cling onto hope that maybe just maybe it was IB, especially when like this month af makes an appearance 2 days early! x

@Mumofboys17 wait wait wait - don't do it to yourself! I used that test last time I was pregnant at 4+5 weeks pregnant and only got a faint line. Darker than some's ideas of faint but it wasn't as dark as you'd expect for nearly 5 weeks. You can do it!!

Quiffy · 07/01/2020 16:55

@Mumofboys17 you can last! Hide that test!

@Katie1109 it’s incredibly cruel. Hopefully you won’t have to go through it much longer when you get that bfp ❤️

@beau2019 I say if you like them best then it’s worth it. I easily spend the same on a few coffees or a lunch, so well worth it.

Mumofboys17 · 07/01/2020 17:32

Gahhhh.. ok, I shall wait 😬😂 I don't even have any real reason or symptoms to want to test, I'm just impatient 🙃

Symptomspotter86 · 07/01/2020 17:56

Ergh really crap day. I'm getting ill, AF is coming in full force and I just found out my lovely Grandma is terminally ill. January sucks.

Ellsbells112 · 07/01/2020 17:59

@Symptomspotter86 oh man, I'm sorry! That must be really hard 🤗 please take care of yourself, have a hot bath, maybe eat something sweet! We are here if you need to talk ❤️ I hope you're OH is an emotional support type x

Mumofboys17 · 07/01/2020 18:37

Omg @Symptomspotter86 I'm so sorry to hear that. I know there's no words but as Ellsbells says, we're all here for you if you need to talk xx

Quiffy · 07/01/2020 18:40

@Symptomspotter86 awful news sorry, try to take care of yourself as best you can x

Beau2019 · 07/01/2020 19:09

@Symptomspotter86 oh bless you lovely. I had the same news about my grandma end of last year and it's hard - I totally get it 💕 keep your chin up (easier said than done) and do something to cheer you up x

Symptomspotter86 · 07/01/2020 19:25

Thank you so much ladies. You are all so lovely. I was expecting it as she has been ill for a while but obviously still hurts.

@Ellsbells112 OH is really good in these situations luckily, he also loves my Grandma so understands.

Ellsbells112 · 07/01/2020 20:10

@Ellsbells112 Aww good! Glad you have good support, it's what is needed in times like these.

Ange211 · 07/01/2020 20:36

@Symptomspotter86 I'm so sorry that's totally shitty news.
@Mumofboys17 Nooooo we can't test yet cycle buddy! If you test I'll be tempted too - and tests are all 3 for 2 just now in my work!
Day 2 of the diet has not gone so well, I've been starving all day although I did hold out and dinner was delicious (low carb thai green prawn and veg bowl)

Sunflower2019 · 07/01/2020 21:26

@Symptomspotter86 so sorry to hear :( my nan is Ill too, didn’t think she’d make it past Christmas but has. Life sucks sometimes but having people around to support you makes such a difference. Be kind to yourself. Xx

Sunflower2019 · 07/01/2020 21:29

BntTowers · 07/01/2020 21:58

Hi girls
It's so good to see so much positivity going on.
I've been feeling so nauseous today, especially tonight when I was at Zumba, it probably wasn't the best idea. I'm tempted to take a cheap test tonight and see what it says. Af is due Saturday/ Sunday...

Ellsbells112 · 07/01/2020 23:03

@Symptomspotter86 sorry I was meant to tag you and I tagged myself wtf! X

@BntTowers ohhh sounds good! Let's us know how you get on x

Mumofboys17 · 07/01/2020 23:15

@Ange211 haha don't worry, I don't think it's worth it this month any way really 😂 we barely DTD at all, I'm going to wait until next week, AF could show up anytime after 5 days from now really depending on how my body feels! X

BntTowers · 08/01/2020 06:43

@Ellsbells112 it was a BFN kinda expected I think it's probably just time wanting it so much then getting phantom symptoms. I'll just wait and see if Af arrives now I think.
