@KateColx Hahahaha my OH was the same, weve both been educated so much this past month 🙈 I'm 28 have a 5 year old & I hadnt heard of Luteal Phase until about 2 weeks ago, honestly didnt even know my own body done as much as it did every single month. It's all bonkers & I feel stupid about it all, trying to keep up with everyone 😂 Looks like were both in the same boat, also our OHs 😜

Heres the picture, feel so silly uploading it cause I swear it's an indent line, surely every test has that hint of one 🤨 so everyone be honest cause in my opinion it's a BFN & I actually enjoy looking at everybody else's tests finding the lines 😂

@babyG123 Omg I hadnt heard that before either, thatl be me away investigating about lube & sperm 😂

babyG123 · 02/05/2020 21:09

@KRK05 haha learn something new every day! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I do defo see a line but I haven't ever seen a indent before. Maybe try again in a few days?

KRK05 · 02/05/2020 21:14

@babyG123 I definitely seen it when I looked at the test at 3 mins but it's not got colour to it, that's why I think indent or maybe even a slight evap line. I will hold out until AF on Thursday now, shes normally like clockwork anyway x

KateColx · 02/05/2020 21:23

@KRK05 haha I was trying to explain to him earlier about how I might have got my ovulation dates wrong f his face was literally just like 😐 I think he's happy to stay out of the detail. He was exactly the same with the wedding haha. I'm so pleased it isn't just me, when I first started looking through the threads I was completely lost! Who knew TTC was such a science. We'll be absolute pros soon 😂

I can definitely see something!! In real life does it have colour or is it grey? X

@babyG123 haha what!! 😂 see, every day is a school day on here x

KRK05 · 02/05/2020 21:33

Sounds exactly like my OH! They could be related haha. I know by the end of it will be able to actually tell somebody else who's unsure & know what I'm talking about 😂

It's so faint I swear I think its grey. I'm not gonna think too much of it & just wait until AF, it was just when I uploaded it saying I got a BFN then got all those replies I was like am I missing something here? But I guess some people probably go from their own experiences of faint lines so I'm not going to get my hopes up x

babyG123 · 02/05/2020 22:01

Just Incase you want to know girls there is special fertility lube. Who knew 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

KRK05 · 02/05/2020 22:12

@babyG123 I have literally just found this out once I got to googling about lube & sperm, I never had a clue before 🙈😂

babyG123 · 02/05/2020 22:45

@KRK05 I did and had a little panic that for that very reason we may have been ruled out this month.

If I'm not pregnant though god knows what I've got because I've been outrageously nauseous the minute I wake until 2. Then the minute I go to bed. Currently wide away sitting up trying to focus on not being sick.
At least I got one proper meal in for dinner 😩

SmileyT · 02/05/2020 23:28

@KateColx @KRK05 @Ltay2 Pizza was amazing definitely what I needed, as soon as AF arrives I'll be cracking open the gin 🥰 I've never really noticed anything around ovulation because I wasn't trying before but noticed some dull movements on my right side today - who knows might just be gas 😂

Also in reference to still learning, I'm exactly the same... learnt more about conception and how my body works in the last 6 weeks than I have in the previous 31 years. 1. You don't get pregnant just by having sex around ovulation, it's not guaranteed even if everything works right. 2. Preseed or concieve plus lube are the go to if you're a tad dry down there and need to go 4 days in a row 🙈 3. Our bodies are actually warmer for half of each month. 4. Final and most upsetting to OH is that saliva is bad for conception, no oral during fertile week 😭

Adrianoska · 02/05/2020 23:35

Just popping back to give you all some hope that I always craved so.much!

9dpo
Symptoms since 5dpo.
I don't know why but I decided to test this evening and two faint but positive tests are now in my shaking hands! I can't quite believe it!

Don't give up girls! I am 36, TTC for 5 cycles, my cycles are super short, too!

Omg I hope it will stick 😁😁😁🌸

KRK05 · 02/05/2020 23:38

@babyG123 I'd try not to worry, u have a mini pill baby 😜 I really really hope it's a BFP for u cause that's a symptom u just cant ignore, sounds very promising 🤞🏻 although I do hope u stop feeling so sicky soon x

@SmileyT I just had a giggle at the last one about saliva, I cant wait to tell my OH that one in the morning 😂😂 hes gonna be so over the TTC rules & banning me from my phone so I don't find out any more 🙄

KRK05 · 02/05/2020 23:41

@Adrianoska Ahhh I am so happy for u, congratulations u must be over the moon💜 just the good news we all need to remind us why to enjoy it x

SmileyT · 03/05/2020 01:15

@KRK05 We are all learning stuff every day 🤓 and yeah my OH actually told me to get off MN because he thought it was driving me crazy but I just swept that comment under the carpet 🤣

Ltay2 · 03/05/2020 08:13

10dpo for me today, still very slight crampy feeling but no sore throat today. I feel my cramps are AF related as they've now been here constantly for 4 days so surely if they were implantation cramps they wouldn't last so long 🤔

KateColx · 03/05/2020 08:26

@SmileyT haha id never heard the saliva one, can't wait to tell the OH that one 🤣 he also has told me to stay off MN because he thinks I'm driving myself crazy 😬 x

@Adrianoska eeek congrats!! That's great news ✨💕 You must be so pleased. X

I done another FRER test this morning as I'd now be in the 6 days early category and no sign of a second line ☹️ starting to think the very faint one last week was a fluke. I've got one more test so might use that mid week or just wait to see if AF arrives on Friday. Hope you all have lovely Sunday's ☺️ x

babyG123 · 03/05/2020 08:27

@KRK05 I know right how typical I don't want to symptoms spot due to not having any before and I have nausea all the fucking time 🤣🤪

SmileyT · 03/05/2020 08:33

@KateColx ahh I'm sorry that it wasn't the best news this morning but you aren't out until your period arrives and if it does just mark it up as another practice run and you'll be all ready to go next cycle. And lol to our OHs not wanting us on MN, I don't think mine understands that it actually calms me down reading that others are in the same boat, I'd be worse without it 😂

Ltay2 · 03/05/2020 08:49

I find MN calming too! It's nice to have people to talk to in the same position. The only negative impact sometimes is wanting to test early 🤣

KateColx · 03/05/2020 08:53

@SmileyT thank you ☺️ it's only our second cycle so we would be super lucky, but will see how this week goes. I've been looking into the CB OPK this morning after the chat on here last night, so I feel better that next cycle might be more accurate if we're not lucky this time ☺️

Haha I'm the same, we need each other to squint at tiny lines, symptom spot and learn new things about conception lube with 🤣 he's just so chilled, 'it'll happen' is his favourite response after I've banged on for about 10 mins on ovulation cycles x

KateColx · 03/05/2020 08:54

@Ltay2 haha yes that's definitely been me this cycle! X

babyG123 · 03/05/2020 09:00

I'm the same with MN. The only negative I found with DS1 is if something went wrong for others it sent me into a panic. Just have to remind ourself we are all different 🙈

Ltay2 · 03/05/2020 09:01

@KateColx I have actually learnt so much in the last few weeks on MN, got a few extra options to consider for if this cycle doesn't work out.

SmileyT · 03/05/2020 09:04

@KateColx I definitely read that last line you wrote as 'it'll happen' is his favourite phrase after I've banged him for 10mins 🙈😂

KateColx · 03/05/2020 09:16

@SmileyT 😂😂😂😂😂 Sunday morning MN chat taken a whole new turn.
