@VP91x no effing way!! 🤬🤬
I would be seriously pissed off.

That said, just because I don’t want you to worry, you’ll definitely have covered yourself anyway, so don’t lose any hope on it.

Just punish him for days xx

VP91x · 21/06/2020 23:09

@MichT4 @chloedancer897 oh I'm just in tears, don't even want to look at him. As you all know it's so stressful doing all this testing and stuff. Especially with July being my due date it's just that extra pressure.

Why did he have to be an idiot on today of all days!? 😩

@vp91x does he know he has you this upset? It’s really not on

chloedancer897 · 21/06/2020 23:11

@VP91x does he know how you feel? I do think sometimes men deal with things a different way and just push away when they're anxious. Try talking to him and see if there's anything more going on. Also tell him how important the timings are and maybe sometimes you won't be in the mood or may be tired but you have such small windows of opportunity when you're ovulating

1990EM · 21/06/2020 23:44

O no @VP91 that's totally rubbish!!! Agree that it sounds like you have covered yourself really well.. but when you're giving it everything you've got there can be nothing more frustrating than that! Smoke would be coming out of my ears!!

1990EM · 21/06/2020 23:45

@2020wish I see something on both pics!! Pleeease let it not be an evap 🙏

Niisa · 22/06/2020 02:18

Heyyyy guys! Sorry I've been MIA - I've had a lot going on with family. The thread was literally just made and it's already almost 800 messages 😂 so will have a proper catch up with a cup of tea tomorrow after I'm done with my virtual teaching of hormonal year 9s (pray for me guys!)

Speak to you all tomorrow (well later today but you know what I mean!) xxxx

Ejb86 · 22/06/2020 06:08

@2020wish got everything crossed for you today!

I'm 8dpo and starting to get that itch to POAS.

2020wish · 22/06/2020 06:37

So I’m out guys. Bfn :( temp starting to drop :( no AF yet and cervix still high. But if I was pregnant I would of well had my BFP by now :( feeling deflated. Anyone any advice on how I should break it to my daughter

VP91x · 22/06/2020 07:06

@MichT4 @chloedancer897 @1990EM ah, I was just so angry, still am. And to make things worse I woke up randomly at 3.30am took my temp just in case... 35.97

Fell back asleep woke up just now... 36.48

The first temp would mean, temp drop ovulating today and second temp would probably confirm ovulation as yesterday 🙄

@2020wish I'm so so sorry. Depending on how your daughter is normally. I think maybe by being completely honest with her and explaining what happened truthfully. It might help her process it better. I'm really unsure, I'm just trying to think forward to my daughter being older. My heart breaks for you that you will have to do this. Sending you so much love xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 22/06/2020 07:44

@2020wish so sorry 😢 and even more so having to tell your daughter. I agree, it depends how she is normally. Can you remind me how old she is? I think just be honest maybe word it saying the baby was poorly and so you weren’t allowed/able to have it.
Good luck with it. Don’t be hard on yourself or feel guilty, kids are resilient and she’s likely to give you a big squeeze xx

@VP91x did you speak to him about it in the end? I know it’s hard to think this way as it’s so different for us that the men, but please be confident that you’d have been covered. Sounds like you are in the TWW which is what you’ve been waiting for.
I think he needs to understand how important it is to get the timing right. I guess your irritating flashies didn’t help because you’ve done a lot of DTD already, so he maybe thinks he’s done enough - which he hopefully has 🤞🏼

VP91x · 22/06/2020 07:56

@MichT4 no I haven't spoken to him yet I'm avoiding him, thing is if I am ovulating today then yesterday would have been key. But, there's literally nothing I can do now. Is there any point to try and DTD today? If he can be bothered 🙄

How are you today? Temps all ok? Xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 22/06/2020 08:07

@VP91x that is tricky. I’m not sure it’ll do any favours DTD if it’s hostile, I don’t think that does any favours. I think if you want to today, and he does, then definitely go for it. But either way, try and be positive that you’ve still caught the most important days. 2 days pre is the best if I remember rightly.
Do you want to DTD today?

I’m fine thanks, hayfever back with a vengeance. Need to go and try and find that safe one, after spending a fortune on a nasal spray I was sure was the right one. It’s not 🙄
Temp went up again, 36.49 this morning. So fairly confident I ovulated now which I’m happy about. Just hope the temp stays high.
I’m a bit deflated that this cycle is so long though. I know it doesn’t really matter but when I think if this time isn’t the one, it’ll be well into August before I’m even in with another chance. Just annoying me, but it’s not that major - just have to roll with it I guess. Makes all the waits feel ridiculous though

How are you? Other than pissed off xx

VP91x · 22/06/2020 08:15

@MichT4 not particularly, I don't even want to look at him 😂 I'm just hurt more than anything! But we are where we are. Im alright, just on the sofa with Bella watching Frozen, before we go and find an activity for the day. I just drank my POM juice and took a couple of calc flour tablets.

That's good that your temps are still going up. Great news ☺️ I know what you mean about the long cycle. If I don't get PG this month I am going to take soy isoflavones next cycle to bring ovulation forward and shorten my cycle! Xx

2020wish · 22/06/2020 08:17

Heart is so broken. Dh feeling down also. Think I’m gonna concentrate more on weight loss this month and checking ovulation when I feel pain.

@VP91x I agree with @MichT4 I think you have covered yourself pretty well x

Dipsy77 · 22/06/2020 08:21

Feeling really fed up. I usually get my peak OPKs day 13/14. I'm now on cd 15 and nothing. I looked at dr google and I think I've either stopped or delayed ovulation by taking strong painkillers for a strained neck. I've stopped the tablets straight away but think it may be too late. Add this to the fact my OH is now on strong nerve tablets for his back which are knocking him out and affecting his performance I'm so frustrated that this is never going to happen x

HopeForRainbowbaby · 22/06/2020 08:23

@VP91x I had the same situation pretty much this cycle... I was mad too 😫 if you can, I would still dtd today. The swimmers can be fast, so better still to have one more go on OV day.

@2020wish I would not know how to address it. Probably your ways of explaining could depend on age of your daughter. But however you say, im sending you biggest hugs 🤗

MichT4 · 22/06/2020 08:44

@VP91x a morning of Frozen sounds good. My boss is winding me up already this morning. I’ve asked for some flexibility this week as the weather is meant to be scorching, so that should help the week go quicker.

I have been reading about those but I’m nervous as there seems to be a lot to suggest asking your doctor first. I think I might ride out another cycle, as I think some stress delayed ovulation for me this month, then I’ll talk to my doctor after that. Do you know anyone who has used them and it worked for.

I was thinking last night about all the supplements and thinking what you ladies will do when PG? I don’t think I’ll be able to stop taking them all in case it’s crucial so I’ll be taking this concoction for months 😂

2020wish · 22/06/2020 08:54

@VP91xn I ordered myself some SI also to try this cycle as I read how the benefit egg quality. Fingers crossed. X

DBTJ · 22/06/2020 09:07

@2020wish I personally wouldn't take anything else to bring your ovulation forward. You fallen pregnant before so you no it will happen. You no your issue is not getting pregnant its trying to make it stick. Are you still taking aspirin.

2020wish · 22/06/2020 09:18

@DBTJ yes I know what you mean but on research it says it depends on when you take it and the effect you are looking... if you take it on days 3-7 or 5-7 all it does is help improve the egg quality of the mature eggs already waiting to be released.. and if you take it before then it helps force the release of numerous eggs? Will have to read more into it. going to stop taking the aspirin now that I’m expecting AF to come. It’s totally acceptable to have cheesecake for breakfast ?

MichT4 · 22/06/2020 09:28

@2020wish Yes it is acceptable, and I think we should all do it more often.

I agree though, just be careful with those because the things I read have said if there are any imbalances or other issues, SI can make them worse. I think that's why they strongly advise consulting with your doctor first.
I'm sure it'll be fine, but definitely read more as you said xx

VP91x · 22/06/2020 09:31

@2020wish I'm going to get the ones from Tesco if not successful. They are £4 a bottle and just SI!

Definitely acceptable to have cheesecake for breakfast xx

@MichT4 oh no why is your boss winding you up? Yeah definitely see if you can get some time to enjoy the sunshine.

😄 We are just all full of tablets xx

@VP91x oh he'd just being difficult! I sent him some stuff yesterday and he replied this morning telling me something wasn't in it, when it was. So I think he tried to justify the fact he hadn't read it by telling me he thought it would be worded differently, so I asked him to tell me how he wanted it, and he said they are fine left as they are.
So boring story really, but being difficult over nothing - before 9am on a Monday.
I think it's going to be one of those weeks. I got dressed this morning and as I left the room, OH told me my top was inside out 😂. I mean, at least he told me I suppose.
