@candycrush2298 I've got to be up for work at 4.30am 😭 then going out for food with some friends after work tomorrow so he won't be getting any tonight or tomorrow hahaha

candycrush2298 · 29/07/2020 20:22

@Kaybobx well you did it this morning so if you skip tomorrow then do it again Friday then you doing really well at every second day. Wow thats such an early start I would be dead. Did you test again this evening?

Kaybobx · 29/07/2020 20:30

@candycrush2298 I know i hate morning shifts! We have to be in at 5.30am then the gym opens at 6am. I have to get up at 4.30 though because i need 1 cup of tea and 1 coffee before i can function haha!!

Definitely back to it Friday, i think we've got enough in the last few days to have some reserves inside haha!! Sorry tmi.
My test looks pretty much the same this evening but i have been drinking loads today as we've been out walking and doing stuff in the garden.

candycrush2298 · 29/07/2020 20:34

@Kaybobx nooooooo you need to do a 2hour pee hold before testing hahahahahaha!! Lol and yes I think every 2 days will definitely keep you going should you peak when least expecting it haha.

Argh morning shifts would be the bane of existence I am truly the worst person in the world in the morning. I need tea and 10 minutes of just staring at the tele before I can even say good morning. When I am done with my cup I start to show signs of life 😂😂😂

Kaybobx · 29/07/2020 20:51

@candycrush2298 i know, I've been poor with the testing this evening. I'm having a glass of wine right now too but its my first early shift tomorrow is 4 months so i need something to knock me out. Don't judge me haha!! 🤣

Let's see how temping goes at 4.30am! Can't believe how I've remembered every morning so far. Oh i do the staring at the tv too, time goes soooo fast in the morning too.

How many DPO are you now?

candycrush2298 · 29/07/2020 21:02

@Kaybobx whahahaah no judgement here. I would need something to give me the strength for an early shift too lol!!

Lol well hopefully you can test tomorrow and see.

Omg I am sure uou will temp just fine lol. I also cant beleive all of us having been temping everyday its actually not as bad when you get into a routine haha.

Uhhhhhh depends on the app lol!! If we go according to opks I am 3dpo and if we go according to BBT I am 5dpo. I am going with 3 though haha.

I need to turn off my amazon notifications got a notification Femometer is now doing pg tests and they having a flash sale I watched the timer running out and procrastinated but didn't want to miss out so bought a pack for 5 on the last minute. I need to stop like legit I have forked enough money into these tests 🤣🤣🤣

By tomorrow I will feel better because the first few days after ovulation I always have back ache, really sore boobs, bloating and ibs symptoms. So by tomorrow my body seems to accept like alright OK progesterone has taken over its OK we are OK everyone calm down and then my body starts to return to normal. I have gone up a bra size thats how engorged my boobs are can only wear a sports bra at the moment lol!!

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 29/07/2020 21:11

@candycrush2298 shall we go with 4dpo in between then haha!!
Ugh i had that engorged feeling in my boobs last month its awful. Its 10 times worse when they are full of milk!
I have IBS too and my life is just being constantly bloated. I can't have anything with cows milk in either which just ruins my life lol.

Im sat watching one born every minute currently and crying 🤣 my hormones are off already haha!!

candycrush2298 · 29/07/2020 21:18

@Kaybobx hahaha lets go with 4dpo sounds like a good medium lol!!
Oooh I can imagine they are going to be rather uncomfortable I cant wait 🤣🤣🤣
Really cows milk? I love milk actually dairy in general, yoghurt, milkshake, ice cream, cheese hahaha I love it. Not too sure what sets me off as I eat various things so difficult to pin point it. Like sometimes I think its fibre but then it happens on a day when I dont eat fibre then I think its red meat but again happens on a day I dont eat red meat so I give up 🤣🤣

Hahahaha awe cute!! I get all emotional over stupid things when af is about to start like I will put doggie tv on for my dog (aka any show that has animals in as my dog loves tv) and then if the animal gets hurt or saved or whatever I am there crying like anything 😂😂😂

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 29/07/2020 21:30

Its soooo painful, i was like give me the baby! I need to release!! I guess now i know what my hubby feels like when i don't give him any hahahaha!

Oh don't, i love cheese and yoghurt 😭 cows milk is a massive trigger for me though. Tbf i flare up after literally anything but that seems to be my biggest problem. Ive switched to coconut milk in coffee (so good) soya in tea which is fine and vegan cheese. Its helped alot but god do i miss a good gooey camembert ummmm. Even eggs sometimes bloats me. Why is life not simple ay?!

Oh this one born program is about twins and triplets that mostly have issues. I don't know why im watching it its so sad.
I remember watching one born every minute when i was pregnant and thinking god there women do exaggerate all this screaming. Haha I was one of those lol

candycrush2298 · 30/07/2020 07:33

@Kaybobx it really is so painful! Fortunately this morning they are feeling a lot less tender still kind of tender but not half as bad. But still engorged lol!!!

Awe how sad I would miss it all so bad. I am sure you are used to it by now though. That's all it is just getting used to the changes. But yeah think you will always miss it.

Oh my goodness that one born program sounds extremely sad. No wonder you are emotional I would be crying my eyes out hahaha. Lol I guess its just normal to be naive until you have gone through it

Hey guys! Looks like I’ve missed a lot. My BBT tracking is awful! I have no idea what time I am taking them but now they are around the 36.2 mark whereas before they were around the 36.4-36.6 mark. With this massive range I doubt I am going to see anything?

candycrush2298 · 30/07/2020 08:41

@Elakiya good morning. Ummm you should set an alarm and take it at the same time everyday. One day different probably won't make too much of a difference but if everyday you taking it at different times it messes with things.

When I attempted to try this last cycle and gave up I was taking it at the same time every morning but one time I woke up at 4am thought it was time to temp so stuck it in and then saw the time after recording and then went back to sleep and recorded at my normal time and the difference was phenomenal obviously I had messed up that cycle because I woke up so it wasn't uninterrupted but I have found setting my alarm way before I wake up for the day is much better and I am consistent.

Try find what works for you. Xx

Ladies.... this Facebook group has been sharing non stop their FRER tests and they all look positive but when they go for blood tests (mostly these people are from the US) their results are negative they are not pregnant.

This is like the 8th post I have just seen in the last 24 hours. Everyone is saying the quality is going down on them has anyone ever experienced this?

OP posts:
Elakiya · 30/07/2020 09:26

@candycrush2298 I am really struggling to get up at the same time. 😅 well this month is waste. I’ll try again next month.

Wiped blood after a BD this morning after the doggy position (sorry tmi!). Anyone else had this.

@candycrush2298 do you reckon it’s because of that indent line that women keep confusing it with a pregnancy line or are they getting full on bright pink and then finding out they are not pregnant.

candycrush2298 · 30/07/2020 09:31

@Elakiya hahaahahaha even with an alarm set??? Awe what a pity. My chart is starting to look like a chart now hahah.

No sorry I dont bleed after sex (regardless of how raunchy it gets lol) that must be terrible for you. Your cervix clearly gets bruised very easily.

Its definitely faint lines some are pink and some are grey. But FRER was supposed to be the one that never gave you indents or any other line you know. It was bees knees of tests hahaha. Cheapies yeah for sure i get it they cheap but FRER is fudging expensive.

OP posts:
Elakiya · 30/07/2020 10:24

@candycrush2298 so I think I have a low cervix 🤔. Why do I have all these issues.

How exciting show me your chart. No I am the sort of person who whacks the snooze button and goes back to sleep, also the person that can sleep through alarms lol.

I guess FRER are not as good as before. I wish I’d even get an evap so I can have a day of excitement lol! Easy@home has never given me a twinge of a faint line

candycrush2298 · 30/07/2020 10:31

@Elakiya hmmm its possible since you not in your fertile window yet that your cervix is lower than when ovulation is approaching which may have caused the bleeding. So that is normal hun don't despair xx

Whahahaha lol I used to be like that especially in Uni 😂😂 would snooze and snooze and just sleep through it hahaha.

I know I am also thinking that. I had one faint line on the easy@home last cycle but it only became visible in a photo when it was dry. So it added to the theory that last month was a chemical. Those pro matris were the first tests I had ever seen a line in 2 years so yeah definitely I know what you mean.

Lol OK here are my charts.

@candycrush2298 that’s triphasic - it indicates pregnancy.

Elakiya · 30/07/2020 10:43

@candycrush2298 oh wait but it doesn’t have the implantation dip yet. Ignore me lol getting carried away!

candycrush2298 · 30/07/2020 10:45

@Elakiya lol!!! I was hoping its the start of a triphasic (not all triphasic charts have an implantation dip) but yeah I was hoping this is the start we will know in a few days if it is triphasic or not. Let's see I may get the implantation dip and then go way up again. Well heres to me being super optimistic here 😂😂😂😂

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 30/07/2020 10:47

@Elakiya this is someone else's chart I stole off Google lol. But see she never had a dip but her triphasic started way later so who knows could just be my body being weird 😂😂😂
