Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...

[CaribouCarafe]

AF due in 3 days.

Am sure I'm out this month - negative FRER today and I have the usual PMS acne.

Just want my period to come already so that I can get this useless cycle over with and have a commiseration beer.

Just frustrating as have been taking pre-conception vitamins for months, cut out caffeine, no alcohol during TWW, have DTD every other day, tracked ovulation and with no success.

Anyone else fancy a moan whilst waiting for AF to show up?

@Kaylamc no need to apologise 💕 if we've all learned one things it's that it doesn't matter how long you've been trying for, it still bloody sucks when AF shows up 😂 welcome to the fam 😘
I'm quite similar to you - had been on Cilest for about 14 years solid and was quite worried about my cycles for the first few months (even though they stayed very regular) but I thiiiink I'm most likely only just ovulating properly now over the last few cycles.
I'm on cycle 6 and started using the OPK sticks on cycle 3 so I can't really offer any advice other than to keep at the tracking and try not to stress out too much for now.

Aw I'm glad to hear you're feeling okay @LS2020 💕 some family fun will definitely help to keep you distracted for now - hope you're managing to enjoy the last of your break away.
I've tried to set a "no workday testing" rule over the last few cycles to give myself another reason to resist the temptation and it's worked well so far...but rules are made to be broken so we shall see 😈🤣

PS @LS2020 feel the need to mention that I have literally no reason to even consider testing other than the fact that I've unintentionally DTD perfectly for SMEP this cycle 🙃🤣

Don’t apologise @Kaylamc it’s good to have you on board... so to speak!!

I’m glad you’re feeling okay about it @LS2020 I admire your outlook and your general strength. It’ll happen for you, I just know it.

I also admire that you can inadvertently do the SMEP @mrswilso 😂

Husband, darling husband, is now shocked and appalled he’ll have to go into a room in a hospital and wank into a pot 😂 I don’t know if he thought he would be able to do it in the comfort of his own home or what but he’s not happy 😂‘it’s too much pressure!!’

Hahahaa! Aw bless him @Ughmaybenot 🤣
I wonder if he could use his phone during whilst he's there?? 😂 if so, you could help him along a little on the day 😉 wee cheeky message or pic...or some full on phonesex 🤭🤣

Imagine if I was at work at the time... ‘yea nah, brb just gotta give DH some wank fodder’ 🤮 😂
Poor sod. Still, overall that’s all he has to do, so I’d argue he has the better deal. Wank once under pressure vs medication and numerous blood tests 😂

Oh 100% he's definitely got the easier side of the deal! @Ughmaybenot
Also...wank fodder 🤣 HAAAA!

@Ughmaybenot ah does he have to go in? For COVID reasons, my OH had to do at home but I can confirm there was nothing even remotely chill about having to do in the downstairs toilet, then get back dressed and into the car and find a specific wing in a hospital all within 30 minutes or the sample was ruined 😂 he had absolutely no desire to repeat so at least he can take a couple of moments after to at least enjoy his hard work 😂😂

@mrswilso how are you feeling? Yeah my rule is never until AF is late but I had to break the rule with going on holiday and it still didn’t turn out to be a good thing so realllyyy don’t test until after AF is due 😂

I don’t actually know to be fair @LS2020 I’ve barely had chance to speak to him the past couple of weeks. He’s been so busy with work. I’d imagine it’ll be in hospital.. we live more than 30 minutes from the hospital so it’s that or an awkward wank in the car park... it gets worse and worse 😂

@Ughmaybenot if they’ve not sent you a pot in the post, that’s hopefully a good sign 😂 one of the other forums I’m on I think someone had to get a hotel room near by just to avoid that situation though so that’s an idea better than a car park!
Wonder if they’ll give him hand sanitizer first... ouch 😬

@LS2020 I believe he collected one from the doctors last week so who knows?! 😬 😂 hotel room would be much better, thank god one of us has some sense 😂
Oh my god imagine 😂

@LS2020 I'm really tired this week - but I've been working full time and doing a lot of DIY at the weekends for the last month so haven't really had any time to recharge. I was an utter potato yesterday and sat around doing absolutely nothing all day - feel much better for it today 🤩
How are you getting on? You're home now right?

LOLing at the thought of frantically running around booking hotels for a pot of baby juice 🤣

@Ughmaybenot hmm sounds like he might need to be getting comfy in the car park then 😂😂 could hire a camper van and draw the curtains?

@mrswilso yes back home now and I’m in quarantine! I was the same, had a blissful day napping and ordering take out. Glad you’ve had a restful day after all that! I’m doing a lot better. AF has finished so just mainly excited to try again. I feel a bit guilty as I’m hoping it makes me more fertile and I get another BFP off the back of it but not sure I can dwell on it much more otherwise is too depressing after 15 months if nothing comes from it!

This thread has honestly cracked me up this morning 😂 imagine how fantastically creepy DH would look 😂

I love how you’re feeling positive @LS2020 that’s a great outlook. We’ve all got everything crossed 😊

@Ughmaybenot hope you get a chance to tease him on it 😂
Thanks lovely, got everything crossed for all of you lot too - I’ve got some forms to send off to get my internal scan done. I hope they’ll still do it with now having a CP

Erm...so...
Due on tomorrow - no reason AT ALL this cycle to think anything otherwise.
Have been peeing on OPKs to finish my cycle (as you all know, I'm crazy)
Got a full on peak...not unusual to get an almost peak but this was proper...
Dipped a FRER aaaaand...
HOLY SHIT! I'm freaking out! Hubby's our right now but we're going for a cuppa with my parent in like half an hour waaaaaaaaahhhhh!!
HOW DO I TELL HIM!? 💕😭

Omg @mrswilso I’ve just screamed in excitement for you!!! Congrats 💕 did you say anything??

Also side note, love the nails!

@LS2020 thank you! 😭 literally finished painting them like 10 minutes before I tested!
Still haven't said a word...I've just shaken off the shock! Thinking I might try to hold off and tell him in a cute way this weekend 🥰

@mrswilso ahhh I’m so chuffed for you! What you thinking of doing?

@LS2020 I don't have a clue! 🤣 my brain has just gone to mush!
I'll have a think tonight and come up with a plan 😊 open to suggestions too!

Ah God I forgot to say thank you so much @LS2020 💕 I'm so overwhelmed that I'm in a total daze haha!

@mrswilso yes have a sleep on it and let the news sink in 💕 ahhh I’m so happy for you 😊

Are you wanting to do it quietly at home or like make a thing of it?
Could box up the test and present it or hide it for him to find? Like say ‘oh can you get me x from the cabinet’ and it’s in there or maybe like a cute ‘I love my daddy’ onesie?

It's almost like you read my mind there @LS2020 - those two were the first I thought of too!
I really like the "can you grab me...?" one 🤣 I can picture his face hehe!

@mrswilso yeah the can you grab me one is a good idea! Could maybe lounge in bed feeling poorly and get him to grab some pregnacare vitamins (but just call them the vitamins in the green tub) from the kitchen and see if he gets it? 😂
