Not added anyone that I don’t have dates for but I’ve not forgotten you just let me know when you ovulate/ know your test dates ☺️

@Minster2012 oh god!! That sounds horrible! At least the weather isn't that bad for us tomorrow!! We're about an hour away from malham!x

@Cocoblue22 I used the studio fix foundation! I don't wear loads of makeup, only wear a full face when I'm going out out, normal day to day I don't wear makeup, but I like studio fix it isn't too thick or anything!x

@KateColx I'd love to be able to dye my hair though!! I've never done malham so I'm glad it's nice!x

@Busybee143 @Clairey844 I'm not a teacher but I work with children!

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/07/2020 19:18

@mumof23188 I think there's a squinter there!! Wait it out two days and test again 🤞🏾

Cocoblue22 · 11/07/2020 19:35

@Dipsy77 thanks for the reassurance I'm prob just overthinking and worrying unnecessarily x

@vil10 I'll have a look at that one too thanks for the recommendation x

@mumof23188 I don't think I can see anything but sometimes they don't photograph well and are clearer in real life. Test again in two days and it should be darker x

@Hopeful110 I had cramping at 4/5dpo which I think is a bit too early for implantation but who knows when we actually ovulate it's so hard to pin point so could be implantation 🤷🏼‍♀️ or late ovulation 🤷🏼‍♀️ the whole game of TTC is literally a big pile of variables!! X

SarahTTC2020 · 11/07/2020 19:36

Aw you gals are the best 😭😭😭 I'm.at at a friend's house and 2 girls are pregnant and then there's me... I've got trashed on gin and cd1 so fuck it!! But really you girls are so supportive and I love checking on here so much ❤️ shaped 😍

Hopeful110 · 11/07/2020 19:40

@Cocoblue22 yeah it's a ming boggle... I had a peak opk on 4th july but my temps didnt match up and then on 7th I was so wet I thought I had wet myself or something but it was just cm and I was so sexually aroused that day 🙈... so I'm pretty sure that was O day. Just 6 days to wait and find out although I'm so nervous incase AF shows her ugly face before then 😂

SmileyT · 11/07/2020 19:53

@LittleRa yes definitely get in touch with the advisor you spoke to, definitely good to get all the info and then you can make an informed decision ☺️ and yeah I always say the same to people who take 10year fixed rates, you never know if you'll go from single to married or married to single in that time 😂

@Dipsy77 a bag of microwave popcorn is definitely not for sharing 🤪

@Cocoblue22 if you're worried I'd call the Dr, mine are useless and don't do anything before 12 weeks unless you're in pain or bleeding but there are some really nice GPs out there that will talk through any concerns 😘

@Hopeful110 they sound like good signs to me 🤞

@mumof23188 I can't see anything on the pic, did you try inverting it on femometer... hoping this turns into a nice clear line on Monday x

@SarahTTC2020 yes just get pished and enjoy yourself, hopefully the sun is shining where you are and the preggers two are being nice company regardless x

Hopeful110 · 11/07/2020 19:58

@SmileyT I hope so hun 🤞 il keep you all posted haha! I check in daily but tend to keep quiet until something to report lol x

SarahTTC2020 · 11/07/2020 20:08

Thanks @SmileyT getting pished the the preggo gals know so they are being lovely but I wished I looked like them they are 22 weeks 😭
Maybe next cycle is mine.
Hope everyone is having lovely Saturday

Cocoblue22 · 11/07/2020 20:10

@SarahTTC2020 you go girl! Get that gin! It will be your turn soon 🤞🏻 this is your lucky month x

@Hopeful110 sounds more like the later date to me! TWW is awful isn't it boo! Hopefully it will go quick for you try and keep yourself busy x

@SmileyT I rang the midwife and yeah she said the same it's prob nothing I prob just have rubbish circulation and she said it's prob coincidence but ring my gp on Monday and see if they will do a blood test. I've been anaemic before so just thought there may be no harm in getting my iron levels checked. DH thinks it's nothing to worry about but they always tell you no question is daft and better to ask so I did hopefully it's nothing. In the warm not hot (even for DSs thermometer in) 37degree bath trying to relax before cooking dinner....made the fatal mistake of bringing a bag of oreo bites up....I'm about 4 bites away from an empty bag....what an epic snaccident!! X

Hopeful110 · 11/07/2020 20:13

@Cocoblue22 thanks hun! Yeah I'm back to work now so that will keep me busy right through until next thursday :) x how are you feeling now? X

mumof23188 · 11/07/2020 20:28

Thank you everyone. I wasn’t even sure if I saw one! Sometimes I thought yeah I can see that then I just thought no definitely not. Will leave it now and see if AF turns up 🙈

Noble89 · 11/07/2020 20:43

@Skip86 thank you! I'm not getting my hopes up too high, I'm only 9DPO today and the line is visible but super faint so whilst I'm happy to feel like there's a possibility I also don't want to get too carried away

@KateColx thank you. Like I said, it's super faint and super early so trying not to get carried away but keeping my fingers crossed

@SmileyT looks about the same as yesterday to me. I was hoping to see a darker line but HCG doubles about every 24 hours and my line is so faint I was probably at around 5 or 6 HCG yesterday as that's the lowest FRER can detect and most likely only up to 7 or 8 today which being better hydrated today could have diluted anyway.

I'm definitely not telling OH until I see some progression and will probably wait until the FRERs are dark enough to suggest I'd get a BFP on a digi then I'll take one of those to show my OH. My AF isn't due until Thursday so he thinks I'm not testing till then anyway. I just don't want to get his hopes up unnecessarily.

Pic of tests attached. Top is today and bottom is yesterday's. Still there but as far as I can see pretty much the same as yesterday

SarahTTC2020 · 11/07/2020 20:44

Thanks @Cocoblue22 I hope so! Planning on lots more sex than last time anyway!?

Noble89 · 11/07/2020 20:50

@SmileyT was meant to write doubles every 48 hours not every 24

Cocoblue22 · 11/07/2020 20:53

@Hopeful110 I'm good thank you! Just about to watch 50 shades! X

@Noble89 it's definitely a line. If I were you id hold off now until Monday and you'll get a stronger line with FMU on Monday. I went from bfn literally nothing on sat to a decent line on mon I'm sure you will be the same and I can already see your line x

@SarahTTC2020 gin will deffo help with the sex....I bet most babies are the outcome of a drunken night! X

Noble89 · 11/07/2020 21:00

Thanks @Cocoblue22. I just want it confirmed so I can share with my OH. We went through 6 months off hell with the molar pregnancy so just really want to be sure as my anxiety is already through the roof about it.

Perils of testing so early I guess x

SmileyT · 11/07/2020 21:24

@SarahTTC2020 yes this cycle is yours ❤️

@Cocoblue22 ooh have you already referred yourself to the midwife? I was thinking about waiting for a couple weeks, need to decide what hospital I want to go to🙈 glad the midwife was helpful ☺️ I normally take iron tablets as my periods are so heavy, but might get back on them. I told OH that Oreo was good for womb lining so he is keeping me in stock 😂

@Noble89 definitely get not wanting to tell OH yet... but can definitely see the start of something especially on that first test. Really hope it gets darker over the next few days - 11dpo on Monday I reckon it'll be a nice line, like you say when it's so low even doubling is still low levels. Also the CB weeks digis pick up 10ul hcg so you can get a digi on them earlier than a normal one🤞 🤞 x

Needed to come here to rant ladies, and I apologise in advance if I sound selfish because I know there's so many women in here who have been trying for longer than I have and deserve a little baby more than anything,
but I'm really feeling it tonight, I've wanted a baby for so so long and have always loved to be a young mum, I've always had friends older than me and majority of them have babies or engaged, and it's just hit me tonight that I'm actually upset that it isn't me who's pregnant because 2 girls I know have given birth this last week, I just feel like I'm going to be in this for the long haul, doesn't help that my OH ex who I've heard not very nice things about from various people, is quite far on in her pregnancy after getting pregnant with her new boyfriend after a month, and I just feel like why do people who don't deserve a baby get pregnant so easily??
I'm sorry for ranting, and sorry for being insensitive towards others but I just had to get it off my chest!

lucyrp · 11/07/2020 21:44

@Vil10 I feel the same way 😫 I came off contraception last summer and I was so scared incase I got pregnant so soon because I wasn't ready to start trying last year but I thought I may aswell come off it to let it leave my body and I was so scared incase I caught last year and now I look back and think how stupid of me I wish I had come off it sooner because here I am a year later and nothing apart from a fucked up cycle! I feel like it's never going to happen. I don't think OH is not very positive about it eithrt maybe less so than me so I do get upset especially when I see people popping babies out left right and centre.

Ltay2 · 11/07/2020 21:59

@Vil10 I know this feeling. I've been feeling so crap for a few days which is why I've been away, still lurking though! Just feel like it's never going to be my time. Putting so much effort into this cycle with supplement prep, planning for OPK testing, OH now on supplements but just can't bear to be back in TWW expecting AF again 😖 everyone I know that's pregnant or just giving birth have all got pregnant 'by accident' so why is it so easy for them when they don't necessarily want it but not for us that do 😭 plus I've had 2 gins for the first time in forever so I'm semi drunk and emotional 😂

LV1987 · 11/07/2020 22:15

OPKs are snowy white again 🙄 bored now!!

SarahTTC2020 · 11/07/2020 22:26

@Vil10 don't worry , rant away! I've come to a friend's where 2/3 girls are pregnant and we just got talking about potential names and I said one and the girl said 'youre not fucking pregnant so you can't choose it!' ... So I'm sat here trying to smile and join in when I'm Really here on cd1 trying not to cry

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/07/2020 22:30

@SarahTTC2020 ouch! Nice friend 😬 I take it they don't know you're ttc then?

@Vil10 I totally feel this too, but I'm old 😂 so time is not on my side! All my friends had their babies in their 20's bar two. Ones pregnant now and the other has a 10 month old. I'm the last out of the group and we've been trying 11 cycles now. Highly frustrating but we just gotta carry on, can't do much more can we.

SarahTTC2020 · 11/07/2020 22:35

@notyetamumbuttrying yes they know I'm TTC, we used to have extensive conversation about it but now they are 20+ weeks and due within 2 days of each other... So I've clearly been forgotten. Just feeling sorry for myself I guess

notyetamumbuttrying · 11/07/2020 22:45

@SarahTTC2020 wow that's pretty insensitive thing to say then if they know. You shouldn't be made to feel bad, they should be supporting you. Sorry you had to go through that! Please know that how you're feeling is very valid tho, I don't think they're being very nice by saying that.
