@SmileyT OPKs are still stark white, I am going to keep testing until CD30 as that's in line with my longest cycle, but what a palava! I'm all for giving up for the month, but luckily OH seems to have gotten a second wind 😂

Franklydear · 10/07/2020 09:01

Congrats to the new bfps, @LittleRa so cute you couldn't wait....

Mococo1 · 10/07/2020 09:04

@LittleRa congratulations!! 🥳🥳

Vil10 · 10/07/2020 09:04

@LittleRa look at that line!! Congratulations❤️ so exciting!!

2alreadywantanother · 10/07/2020 09:08

Oh wow. How pink those lines are 😍 congrats @littlera

We those of u that say our fuck boys are right. Dont get me wrong, I'm actually ok and no way expected to be catching on 1st cycle. But the symptom spotting. My nipples omg have been killing me. Snoozing during the day?? Wtf 😂 maybe I'm just getting too old for this shit lol. Dh was a bit surprised as we were at it like rabbits. He was convinced I would be.

So have the ass juice ordered 🤮
Have the opks ready

July, I'm ready for u 😂
I could change my mind after tonight babysitting lol

Katao · 10/07/2020 09:09

Don't forget me @lucyrp 👋 cd38 snoozing at the back of the bus 😂
Said I wouldn't test again until the weekend but did a cheapy this morning and bfn. I actually don't think there is any point wasting anymore frers on this cycle. Have one left and nearly ordered some last night but after seeing another stark white this morning I I think it would be a waste of money.

@LittleRa and @Dipsy77 those are beautiful 14dpo lines. Congratulations! Love the babygro story 😂typical! At least you didn't have to lie seen as you didn't know.

lucyrp · 10/07/2020 09:17

Oh yes and you @Katao ! I'm CD62🤯😂

LBee2020 · 10/07/2020 09:22

@littleRa Congratulations! What a wonderful start to the weekend Smile

Katao · 10/07/2020 09:24

Ya I have to say @lucyrp, from a purely selfish point of view, you do not give me hope 🙈😂

2020mission · 10/07/2020 09:27

@LittleRa congratulations! Very clear test there. How many cycles has it been for you?

I used a FRER at 12 DPO this morning (tried early just to check if I should have a drink tonight) and it couldn't be whiter. Feeling quite fed up with going through this every month. It's one of the months where I'm rethinking my life and maybe shouldn't buy that house with the 3 bedrooms because if it's just going to be us 2 and no family then we may as well stay in the small flat 😔 sorry for moaning I just feel like there's no one else for me to talk to.

notyetamumbuttrying · 10/07/2020 10:15

@2020mission I'm the same as you! 10 months of nothing and we're in a one bed flat and wanting to upgrade to a 3 bed house and sometimes feel like what's the point lol! At least we'll get a garden and a study. Perhaps a dressing room too! 😉

@LittleRa congrats 🥳

DB20 · 10/07/2020 10:26

Morning ladies 😊 sorry I've been absent for a couple of buses, we're in the middle of a house move. I've been watching though to see how you are all doing. Congratulations to the bfps 🎉

I'm 11 dpo and got the squintiest of squinters on a ic this morning. I'm embarrassed to put one on that I'm so unsure on but I'm driving myself crazy. I know you ladies are all kind though. When I first look I can really see it, but the longer I look the more it just looks plain white. I can see it more in real life than the pictures. What do you ladies think? I don't mind you telling me honestly if there's nothing there, I don't have my hopes up yet or anything. Just would like to know if I'm imagining things 🙈 I've never had a test where I could see anything but stark white. The first is unedited, the 2nd is inverted with an app and the 3rd is just contrasted on my phone 🙈

LBee2020 · 10/07/2020 10:42

@DB20 I'm pretty new to looking at tests but pretty sure I see something on the inverted image. Fingers crossed for you.

Juno231 · 10/07/2020 10:43

Gaaah guess who just went to the loo and had lots of bleeding 😂. And cramping has just started too. Not sure what to do about the day 3 test that clearly wasnt on day 3 lol 🙊

Juno231 · 10/07/2020 10:55

I'm kinda thinking my bleed at 12 DPO was IB and as those are so high risk of failing this is maybe a CP? Would explain the temps I think. God knows 🤷‍♀️

Mococo1 · 10/07/2020 10:56

Hey @db20 I don't want to get your hopes up but can see on the invert and can squint and see on the third image- have you just taken? Maybe let them dry and see if the lines are more obvious/ get into some natural light! 😬 also is this FMU?

@juno321 oh no lol! ring docs now and see if they can book you in 3 days from now!? Surely they would reblood test you x

2020mission · 10/07/2020 10:57

@notyetamumbuttrying that's true 😆 it's nice to know I'm not alone in fixing on things like that. A garden would be lovely. Maybe just a 2 bedroom house now though!

I was just hoping that I'd be on to something this month by starting to use OPKs, seed cycling and drinking grapefruit juice.

Has anyone got any other suggestions for what I could try next month that might help? I've alternated between DTD every second day, to DTD every day. I've tried months without touching a drop of alcohol or caffeine for the whole month, although the months I do drink it's just a couple of glasses of wine at the weekend so isn't heavy anyway.

Need something to get me back into a positive mindset!

lucyrp · 10/07/2020 10:59

@Katao I'm so sorry 😂 I'm not giving myself much hope eithrt so it's hard to be positive 😫😂 I'm sure you'll be fine!

Catherinettc · 10/07/2020 11:00

@LittleRa congratulations!! We started this together, both off cerelle at the same time etc so hoping its good news for me too when the time comes xx

@Minster2012 my app changed my testing date to 16th but I don't really believe it so between 16th and 19th

Nipple shooting ,burning keys coming and going randomly so think my body is just taking the piss tbh. Not reading too much into it. No sign of implantation bleeding etc but didn't get that with any of my other pregnancies. Trying to keep chilled out and see what happens (even though i know I will be psycho in a few days time symptom apotting etc) 🤣🤣🤣

SarahTTC2020 · 10/07/2020 11:19

@Juno231 oh no, maybe it's a good thing though to have a proper bleed and stop you wondering? Hopefully docs can do another test

@DB20 I can't see anything sorry but then it is early days on a cheapie!

@2020mission I think it's totally normal to have up and down days. I was pretty down for a couple of days this week but then today feel a bit more positive about things and just want AF out the way so I can focus on the basics - just having more sex!

DB20 · 10/07/2020 11:23

@LBee2020 thank you, fingers crossed it's really something 😊

@Mococo1 thank you I'm glad you can at least see something and it's not completely my imagination. I took the picture after about 10 mins, it was fmu. I haven't been back to it for about an hour now as was driving my eyes mad staring 🙈😂 May go and have another look, trying not to let hubby see me with it though as don't want to get his hopes up

@SarahTTC2020 thank you, no worries, I'm not even sure if I see anything myself

Mococo1 · 10/07/2020 11:23

@2020mission have you seen our guide to getting pregnant?🤣

  1. Lots of sex (every other day to catch) or SMEP
Or just Banging OH to death seems to work for some
  1. For the same sex couples out there Insemination using a cup? @Ttcmummy2021 could you help us out here with any tips so we can add for any future buses!
  1. Relaxing & lots of patience
  1. Prenatal vitamins e.g Pregnacare, COQ10, Primrose oil, B6, Folic acid/Folate, Magnesium, Vit C (will have to do your research on amounts/when to take these)
  1. Conceive plus/preseed
  1. Seed cycling
  1. Grapefruit juice (ass juice) for EWCM

7.OPKS/CB Digital ovulation kits 😂 A lot of us seem to like fermometer to record the OPK peaks

  1. It will happen when it's meant to 😩
blodyn91 · 10/07/2020 11:30
  1. Wine, pizza, oreo choc and pouffe sex
  2. Relax, dont be stressed, take bbt, dont take bbt, dont obsess, obsess, exercise, don't exercise too much, loose weight, don't loose too much weight, eat healthy, don't let it consume you and eat what you want.
  3. Blame corona for all BFN

2020mission · 10/07/2020 11:42

@Mococo1 @blodyn91 😂 thanks for those! I actually haven't looked into COQ10 or primrose oil, so I'll get on that 👍🏼 after I have my full caffeine latte and cake for lunch followed by some wine at 5pm! So glad we have this bus as my husband just seems a bit disappointed but never as upset as me every month when the BFN comes, so I can't really vent to him too much. I do prefer that he seems positive and I'm not bringing him down. If only he know all the madness with the apps, OPKs, symptoms spotting. I think he just enjoys the sex and is happy that we might end up with a baby.

SmileyT · 10/07/2020 11:43

@Mococo1 @blodyn91 I've just copied the tips into notes as this will now be the bible 🙏

@LV1987 well at least you can enjoy banging without it feeling too forced that has got to be a plus side of upping the ante 👌🏾

@LittleRa haha love the babygrow story 😂

@2020mission never feel bad about moaning this is a safe space to do exactly that... it will happen for you and you should of course get the 3bed house. Some times of the month are worse than others and we've all been there with the sadness of BFNs but please don't give up xx

@DB20 I can't see anything on the pic but have you got a FRER? The one I took was so faint on the ic but quite clear on FRER... so will definitely show up now xx

@Juno231 would the day 3 test check for hcg anyway? that would hopefully give you some info if it was a CP 🤔 be interesting to see if temps/ RHR drop over the next couple days xx
