Erughhh girls someone tell me AIBU and I'm a mardy arse but I cannot COPE with the 3 girls on the next bank of desks to me giggling and laughing and behaving like 5 year olds ALL DAY LONG! One girl (who is 37) talks about her cats all day every day, even during lunch breaks. I have to sit here for 8 hours a day 5 days a week listening to the same boring shite. I'm borderline gonna move desks. I even changed my lunch hour do I didn't have to listen to her talking about her cats for an hour of my day which I want peace.

These girls are ages 26-46 and sometimes I think I work in a pre-school.

Rant over hahaa

@Missgoldilocks thanks lovely! How are you? Did you get the results back? 💕

@Beau2020x I know, I can’t handle people most of the time but some people are so immature it’s almost unpleasant to around them, I feel your pain! Xx

@Langpants ahh thank you lovely! I did another OPK earlier and it's getting there but still not peak yet. Will probably DTD tonight anyway as half hoping my peak may show tomorrow 🤞🏻

@Beau20 urgh I hear you. I work in an office full of women, ages from 22-70 and they're all just as bad as each other!!! I have to say the younger ones are definitely most distracting. One in particular dances (literally) round the office making small talk.. it's like PISS OFF AND DO SOME BLOODY WORK!!! 😠

Evening ladies
Hope your all ok sorry i been a way for while been poorly with my asthma
@Sunflower2019 that so lovely thank for sharing it alway give me a little bit of hope 😊

Okay I need help. My OPKs are really stressing me out... none have been what I would call peak but all my apps are saying my peak day was CD12 or 13. They have been up and down up and down for days! Yesterday I thought they were totally negative and then today they are darker again! C13/14 is 4 days early for me but I did used to be a CD14 day girl. I had slight EWCM at the weekend and ovulation pains Sunday. Would we really say this was ovulation? I have had ZERO increase in temp! Im CD16 today which is when I'd typically see my peak start or peak CD17 and I'm cramping. I wanna burn these OPKs and my thermometer 😡😡😡😡

@Sunflower2019 I'm good thanks, not yet still waiting xx

OMG @Sunflower2019 your little bubba is sooooo cute 🥰🥰
Sorry girls I’m a bit quiet, just don’t feel like there’s much I can contribute, especially that I stopped the opks 😩 I feel ok and not stressed, I’m CD10 today with ovulation usually around CD16 so should be entering the FW about now x fingers crossed for everyone and bring on those Christmas babies!!!

@Beau20 that is strange that they are going up and down and haven't seen that before. I'm sorry I don't have any answers to what it might it be. I think as long as you have been DTD over this period you hopefully will have it covered in case your peak fell on either time it said you were peak. Hopefully you don't have to use them again next cycle and literally can burn them all! X

@Beau20 mine are going up and down too, except I don't seem to get a peak, they're just fluctuating 😕 think I'm just going to accept I haven't ovulated this cycle lol, I can't have! Zero cm and no peak or static smiley 🙁 CD23 today x

@Katie1109 think I'll follow suit next cycle (as it's inevitable!) and not bother anymore with OPKs xx

Meant to attach pics... today's tests and femometer readings from last couple of days x

Ladies...you know I never told my OH about me using opks? Well last night he said he did some reading and maybe we should give it a go...What the hell do I do now? If I say no, he'll probably take it as I am not prepared to do everything possible to get pregnant. If I say yes, there's my stress free cycle gone! I'm CD 11 today so I can still start using them...aaaaah help :(

@Katie1109 tricky... but simple question is do you want to do it? If you're up to it then yeah go for it. But if you really don't want to, be honest with your OH and tell him that. As long as you're still DTD you're in with a chance anyway! Hope that helps a bit xxx ❤️

@Mumofboys17 I wanted a break from opks and just try relaxed approach...but as far as he is concerned we've been doing that the whole time and now he feels like we should try it! I feel like if I say no it will look like I'm not up for giving it my all! At the same time I don't want to tell him I've been using them in cycles before this one, so he doesn't feel betrayed and disheartened by the fact it hasn't happened even though I've been using opks! ahhhh :(

@Katie1109 riiight OK I see... I mean, if it were me I'd just be honest. Sounds a bit of a cliche but honesty is always the best policy. If you lie about it now then it'll always come out eventually xxx

@Katie1109 I 100% agree with @Mumofboys17 judt be honest with him. Don't make a big deal out of it, just say oh babe I have been using them. If he says why didn't you tell him just say you didn't want to put extra stress on him with timing it exact and say sorry if you thought he did. I would do at least 1 cycle with him involved - its nice that he wants to be :)

I do them behind my OHs back but I think he knows I do them. It's no secret as such, I'd tell him no issues and he thought they were pregnancy tests so I did tell him they were ovulation tests. Just not sure he knows how often I do them haha!

Well, I've had another low peak reading today!!! WTF is going on!!! I had all the symptoms of ovulation CD12-14, now nothing at all but my OPKs are getting darker. Temp has been extremely consistent the last 4 days soooo presuming I just haven't ovulated! Wish I hadn't bothered temping! Part of me thinks it's this brand of tests as well as I did a Ovusense with the same wee on Monday & Tuesday and that was totally negative

@LV1987 that sucks. TWW is bad enough without it dragging on like that.
I had my lap and dye yesterday. Lying on the couch now feeling sorry for myself! Found mild endo. Have to meet consultant in a few weeks to know properly what it means and next steps. Tubes are not blocked which was my main concern. Guessing he will say just keep trying now!

@WaitingOnThePositive that's such good news!! Did it hurt? How long was you waiting was it on NHS? I ask because that's going to be the next step for me x

@WaitingOnThePositive it certainly does drag, I know that I just need to wait for things to regulate post-pill but I can't deal with not being able to control it (I'm a lawyer, I'm always in control 😂)

@katie1109 I agree with @Beau2020x and @Mumofboys17 - just be honest with him. If you don't talk to him about it now, and things don't go to plan, then it'll be worse when you do have to tell him. I know it's hard xx

@Missgoldilocks I am sore today. But just taking nurofen and it is sorting it. I did faint afterwards! Very dramatic altogether! I am in Ireland so had to go private to get it. Wouldnt get it for years publically here.
@Katie1109 I say the same as the girls just be honest I do them and my hubby passes no remarks. Dont know if he knows what they are! Doesn't ask I dont tell!
@Sunflower2019 congratulations delighted everything going well for you
@LV1984 I am the same. I'm a teacher so used to control and everything being the way I want it! Just have to go with this I suppose!

Thanks ladies x I came clean to my OH and we had a good chat about why I haven't told him before etc. We decided to give it another go with opks now we're both on board with it x I doubt this will change anything but hey, let's see x CD12 today and I have done an opk this morning, not FMU as its not advised and my premom app is showing it as low, although it's slowly getting there. O day usually around CD15/16 x

Hey ladies. Been mental for me as I work as a manager for a travel tour operator and CV has caused massive amounts of work and stress to get people home from countries and to cancel a lot of trips. I'm having to work all weekend too 24 hours a day. Mental. Also my holiday next week most likely wont go ahead. Want to cry as proper needed the break. Just trying to stay positive and at least I have a job at the moment and my health! The whole thing is fucking crazy.

On the TTC subject through I'm coming up to my FW next week. I'm CD10 today.

Hey girls, well I had an ultrasound today to check for PCOS and the woman said everything looked normal. Have bloods booked for next cycle to check for hormonal imbalance but I guess that is good news for the test today 💕

Love and baby dust to you all xx

Hi all

@Symptomspotter86 I work in property law so similarly busy lately. Brexit happened and work sky rocketed, then just as it started to tail off, this happens. Don't feel like any of us, whatever we do for work, will be getting much of a break for a while now.

It was my birthday yesterday, and I had too much wine last night, so been feeling a bit worse for wear today 🙄
