Continuation from thread AF due 20/06

@Kgn21 I understand that being off from work is tough because you have nothing to distract yourself. I don't know what to tell you other than we just laugh and cry and then dust our knees off and try again the next month. It helps if you find something to occupy your mind like redoing the garden, or having some form of a project on the go or even just reading/binge watching series. Obsessing does not make the time go by quicker I promise. Somehow for the first time in months I am relaxed and whatever happens, happens. I am of course peeing on a stick like a maniac because I am obsessed with testing hahahaa. But I haven't actually symptom spotted much this month which is unusual hahahah!!! But its probably because I haven't actually had any symptoms to spot haha.
When is your AF due?

Does anyone else get extremely p'd off that literally everyone is getting pregnant or am i just a selfish cow?
Today i found out a 4th person from work is 12 weeks pregnant. 😭 how does it happen to everyone so easy but me?! Wahhhhh

@Kaybobx I am just as selfish. Like I am so jealous. 2 of my cousins and one of my friends have just announced they are pregnant. One of them even with twins. Two of my friends have just given birth. And I am just a ball full of self pity when I see it. Like I am happy for them obviously but inside I am like how is this fair?????

@candycrush2298 thanks for the advice. I suppose being the first time is probably making me think about it more but maybe once I'm back at work it might be easier but until then I think you're right and I need to find a hobby!

@Kaybobx I know exactly how you feel. Both my sisters have just had babies, one was an accident and one after 3 or 4 years trying to and then having IVF. I think both babies being around all the time has got me a bit baby on the brain.

@candycrush2298 @Kgn21 thank god im not the only one. I was really nervous writing that, i thought I was just being an evil cow but had to vent it to someone.
It really baffles me how people can accidentally get pregnant yet we're all crazily tracking everything with still no joy.
I feel really fed up today meh! Lifes not fair sometimes.

@Kaybobx No don't worry, totally normal to feel like that. Sorry I've probably jumped i and added to you thinking about it!

@candycrush2298 just realised I never answered your question. AF is due 23rd July.
How do you guys manage things like I've read ideally I should stop drinking. I'm not a big drinker but for example due to go out with my friends next weekend. I don't know if I could give up drinking and then not conceive for a year. Would just add to me feeling rubbish about it? But obviously want to do everything I can.

@Kgn21 haha no you haven't, just generally grumpy today.

'Drink until its pink' or 'Wine until a line' haha I've read this so many times before. You can't put your life on hold, i think as soon as you find out stop right away. I even turned down a hot tub log cabin last year because 'what if im pregnant' and I wasn't so missed out. I think we already put enough pressure on ourselves each month

@Kaybobx I think that's the attitude I'll go with. Need to enjoy myself too!

@Kgn21 you're welcome we are all in this together, because we know how you feel.

@Kaybobx lol I am also so pessimistic today haha and I think I'm coming down with something so nauseas almost threw up earlier but I didnt. Just loads of saliva tmi I know. But I'm so hungry hahahaha no idea how that works but anyway 😂😂😂 I cant stop eating but randomly when I'm just breathing I wanna get sick 🙃

@candycrush2298 praying this is a good sign for you 🙏 are you still testing throughout the day? Lol

@Kaybobx no I was yesterday and they were all negative and then with the positive this morning and the negative FRER I was like I just need to take a step back. I also ordered some easy@home pg tests as I clearly need an alternative brand.

@RhiRhi91

anyone else entering TWW before AF? First cycle ttc and whilst I saw to myself to keep a level head and not get my hopes up, of course, I am already driving myself insane.

Been off work two days with what feels like a stomach bug (not sickness but other TMI I KNOW SORRY!) Partner has eaten exactly same as me and hasn't had any problems. Got stomach cramps again this morning as soon as I got up. Now have headache and blocked nose.

I know it's too early for symptoms and think I'm just a bit rundown and poorly but didn't know where else to talk about it, so I hear I am! Wishful thinking I reckon, really trying to take my mind off it.

Thank you and @candycrush2298 @Kaybobx! Not been on here for a few days as trying to put it out of my mind and failing to of course!

I think I'm only a few days maybe 3/4 PO, haven't been great at recording it in my app and I've forgotten. First month forgive me ahaha and then feeling poorly threw me a bit.

Stomach issues have subsided, but still get trapped wind pain (TMI) after I eat andI'm really tired, and super horrible at the moment mood swings galore and it's still 6 days before my PMS is due to kick in. AF due on 22nd. So have no idea tbh. No sore boobs or anything like that so really not sure whats going on. aside from being unwell this week, really cranky and really tired I don't feel any different, wonder if it's just a lot of wishful thinking and having a bad week!

Lots of luck and baby dust to you all xxx

Just checking in haven't read anyone's posts. I'm 4 days PO today, no symptoms. Hope everyone's ok!
I'm having a gin tonight after a busy week at work!

@Kaybobx I am completely the same when people announce pregnancies I am like "Oh that's wonderful" in my head I am thinking "Not fair".

The other thing I hate is when people get pregnant without even trying and then say "oh we didn't even try" especially when they know I have PCOS... it's like it's nice to know you're pregnant please don't rub it in my face that you don't have medical issues and can naturally do something that my body should be doing but won't! Sorry guys just really bitter and very upset for some reason today.

@Kgn21 I don't drink myself but everyone I know does, and they all stopped when they found out they were pregnant but they did drink whilst trying to conceive.

@candycrush2298 I've read really good reviews about the easy at home ones but as we said before maybe the Pro Matris one is just more sensitive. We'll only find out next week :D.

When is your NHS appointment?

Also forgot to mention is anyone subscribed to a channel on Youtube called Fertility Homeopath. I love her channel. Only just stumbled across it but finding it very useful

Friday night check in - been non stop all week!

Still a flashing smiley face tonight but cheap OPK line is getting faint. Don't think I've ovulated this month - thanks PCOS. So for that, I'll say that I'm out for this month :(

@RhiRhi91 hope all is well your side

@snapple21 enjoy the gin hope you all well.

@Elakiya thanks yeah I have seen good reviews as well. I bought the opks to use alongside my CB monitor next month as well.

My tests are done its hubby's tests we waiting on for NHS and we still haven't gotten our appointment in the mail so they must not be open yet. Once he has had his test I guess his results will tell us the course of treatment needed by fertility clinic.

@ReginaaPhalange Keep testing you never know...

@candycrush2298 ah okay! Hopefully they open soon. Can you not give them a call and chase? How long have you been waiting?

@Elakiya highly doubt it to be honest. I've had a flashing face since last Saturday. Don't see me reaching my peak now. I'll still test just in case a day before AF

Would you buy the clear blue advanced sticks off eBay? Noticed amazon have put the price back up but I can get 5 of the test sticks for £7.50.. 🤔🤔🤔

@Elakiya yeah hubby called a week or 2 ago and they said that part of the clinic is still shut when it opens again he is on the priority list because he was booked in for the 14th April. So now its just a waiting game. Annoying but not much we can do unless we spend +/- £290 private and then still £140 for the consultation so the results can be read to us. Its just a case of waiting on the NHS hey.

@ReginaaPhalange do you not think you could still get it tomorrow? What does the cheap opk look like? (Sorry I may have missed your message if you already mentioned this)

And I would buy from ebay just check the sellers reviews out.

@candycrush2298 actually.... I've just looked at it again and it looks darker! Maybe 10 minutes leaving it is not long enough! Was done at 6:45pm... will adjust time.

@ReginaaPhalange looks like you getting there 💜💜💜

@candycrush2298 been like this since Saturday lol
