@Juno231 thank you. Think I'll wait until Monday so it's more conclusive.

@LT103 welcome! You'll love it here 😎

Noble89 · 25/07/2020 09:09

Hi Guys,

Just checking back in to see how you're all getting on. Loving all the baby pics! I was not a cute baby. Looked like uncle fester till I was about 2 as I had no hair at all 😂. Then when my hair came in it was the MOST ginger hair you've ever seen 😂.

@notyetamumbuttrying I can't see anything but it's so hard to get a photo when they're faint. Give it another couple of days and test again

Vil10 · 25/07/2020 09:19

@LT104 welcome!! You're exactly the same as me, 3dpo and af due on the 5th! What cycle is this for you?

notyetamumbuttrying · 25/07/2020 09:27

@Noble89 aww what a cute photo! I take it you're still ginger now? My friend was ginger as a kid and is now blonde!
Thank you. Yeah I'll test again Monday. I swear I wasn't gonna be one of those women and here I am, squinting at non existent lines 😂

blodyn91 · 25/07/2020 09:44

@Juno231 all these cycles we have done everything right, got a peak OPK, we probably just didn't ovulate 😩 I winder how long this cycle will be for me, I'll keep temping but starting to think I am out now till April 2021, but Im OK with that. Just hope we get this offer accepted on this barn, so we have something to distract us!

LT103 · 25/07/2020 09:47

@Vil10 this is my 3rd cycle. Came off pill in January but didn’t start trying til may really. Been doing opk and temps last 2 months and my cycle seems fairly standard. 27-30 days and ovulated day 14 both times with temp rise after. Just need to wait and see what happens. I’m 38 so not expecting it to happen straight away

Katao · 25/07/2020 09:54

Hi @MrsFern congratulations, have you tested since?
Welcome @LT103 my phone is also a nightmare, cracked the screen down by the space bar so am always running words together like a drunken text slur🙈 I'm similar to you, cycle 4.
@notyetamumbuttrying I can't see anything but it's not a great picture. I know how you feel, I am regularly squinting at tests and annoyed at myself for being that person 😂 hopefully there will be something to see clearly in a couple of days 🤞

Cocoblue22 · 25/07/2020 10:01

@lucyrp what an adorable fur baby 😍 sooo cute! Deffo voting for oreo like @Juno231 suggested! X

@Minster2012 aww you were a cute baby too 😍 adorable! Lovely hair too! X

@Missgoldilocks cute kitten and cute photo of you too 😍x

@Vil10 aww cute baby pic 😍x

@SmileyT lovely pic of you and your sis 😍 x

@LV1987 sorry about bfn ☹️ x

@DKDK123 sorry about bfn for you too ☹️ what a great way to look at it though you should deffo enjoy the weekend and make the most of it as like you say pretty soon you will be T total for a very long while! X

@lucyrp not long for FW for you....exciting 🎉 x

@Ltay2 aww your kitty is cute too 😍 x

@notyetamumbuttrying im not sure I can see anything but wait two days and test again it's not always as clear on a photo 🤞🏻 for you x

@Noble89 aww you look cute on that photo 😍 x

Hope everyone is good this rainy Saturday morning x

LV1987 · 25/07/2020 10:09

@SmileyT @blodyn91 @Quercus3 @katao @Vil10 @Minster2012 @Juno231 @Cocoblue22 Thank you ladies for your support this morning, I'm awake again now... Crawled back into bed for a few more hours 🙊

I don't feel too bad... This will be cycle 7 for us, but only our 3rd cycle using OPKs. My main frustration is that the pill still seems to be affecting my cycles, as they've still not regulated - this will be a 42 dayer when AF arrives.

I've tested at 10 possibly 11 DPO so I think it's pretty conclusive, but if my period isn't here by Wednesday, I'll try again.

Definitely going to make the most of that bar... And the bottle of Malbec OH bought me as a just in case :)

@DKDK123 sorry to hear yours was negative too @notyetamumbuttrying 🤞 yours develops into a nice fat line!!

Happy Saturday all, I'm eating chocolate for breakfast and then doing a 11k walk 💪💪

MrsFern · 25/07/2020 10:13

Hey @Katao yes...... I am a pee on a stick addict Wink

notyetamumbuttrying · 25/07/2020 10:15

Thanks @Katao! Serves me right for early testing 🤭
Thanks @Cocoblue22 I'm now thinking I was seeing things so may do another one Monday or just wait for my period to show. How are you today?
@LV1987 I don't think it will tbh but thank you. Love chocolate for breakfast! Enjoy your walk x

Vil10 · 25/07/2020 10:18

@LT103 that's so strange I'm exactly the same!! Came off the pill 31st Jan, but only started tracking and properly trying in May! At least you have a fairly regular cycle and know when you're ovulating! Will this be your first child?x

LT103 · 25/07/2020 10:22

Yes @Vil10 this will be first. What about you? I swore we’d just be fairly relaxed about it and here I am temping and checking opk 🤦🏻‍♀️
I stopped pill thinking it would take a few months for things to regulate but I’ve actually been cycling fairly normally since stopping thankfully!
We covered fw so guess it’s just down to luck now!
I tested early last month and got a faint positive at 10dpo but followed with a negative the next day so I’m a bit wary of reading too much into early tests any more. Not sure I’m patient enough to wait it out tho. Well see

Katao · 25/07/2020 10:28

@MrsFern plenty of poas addicts here 😂
@notyetamumbuttrying chuck the testso you aren't squinting at it all day 😉

Vil10 · 25/07/2020 10:37

@LT103 this will be my first too, and OH's so we can't wait! It always starts like that doesn't it, swearing to yourself that you won't obsess, I did that at the beginning now im seed cycling, drinking grapefruit, pomegranate, eating Brazil nuts and pineapple, I feel like a crazy lady😂 I know it's not necessary because so many people get pregnant without doing those things but if it increases my chances then why not! That's so good that you regulated quite quickly, it took me a few months! Testing early is such a hard predicament isn't it, I wish I had the will power to wait and see if af arrives but I never do!

Newbie0818 · 25/07/2020 10:42

So I just typed a big long reply to people and my tortoise decided to walk all over my phone and swipe it off 😭😂 🐢

@Juno231 haha, damn autocorrect.

@Minster2012 so annoying! At least it wasn't our fault so no worries.

@Missgoldilocks aww I want a girl as my first too! Yours will look so cute with hair like that. I think a boy would look adorable too with little curls in a pony tail.

@LV1987 and @DKDK123 sorry about bfn x @LV1987 we're you regular before the pill? I was and then when I got off I've been irregular since and a blood test confirmed pcos. Worth a gp chat maybe? The pill can mask underlying issues. Hope they regulate for you soon though!

@Ltay2 cute cat!

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm sorry I can't see anything :( my line eyes are awful though! Hope it gets darker if you can see something x

@Noble89 You were gorgeous! Love all that ginger hair, so cute.

notyetamumbuttrying · 25/07/2020 10:51

@Katao oh it's already in the wrapper and in the bin! I won't obsess over it, I just wanted to know if I could drink this weekend and I think I probably can!
Thanks @Newbie0818 I really don't know now so just gonna forget about it and enjoy my weekend. Not even gonna tell my husband. I think my bad nights sleep made me see things!

SmileyT · 25/07/2020 11:04

@blodyn91 just keep an eye on your temps, last month my temps were the least 'textbook' post ovulation temps (including 2 dips below coverline - I had to also remove a temp for FF to give me a coverline) so give it a few more days and you may see more of a pattern x

@Quercus3 🥰🥰

@MrsFern congrats on your BFP 👌🏾 this is a ttc thread but you are more than welcome to hang around if you'd like xx

@DKDK123 sorry it was a BFN, but yes definitely pour a drink 🥂

@lucyrp yes to being back in the game 🥳

Welcome @LT103 x

@notyetamumbuttrying so I'm shit at seeing lines tbh BUT if you've taken a lot of FRERs before and you are seeing something that isn't normally there it could be the start of something... have a good weekend not thinking about it and test again after the weekend xx

@Noble89 ahh such a cute little ginger Geordie 😍

Franklydear · 25/07/2020 11:10

Morning all, sorry about the bfns, but is not over until af arrives
@lucyrp so does Celeste have a name yet (see what I've done there😉)
Determined not to test until really late this month, tbh I think there would be no point, but will see, so far, nothing to report, boobs still big, no more cramps, I must have eaten something dodgy, or too much chocolate, I found a bottle of my favourite wine, imported but luckily becoming fashionable in the UK

Franklydear · 25/07/2020 11:12

@MrsFern did I missed a bfp👏

Cocoblue22 · 25/07/2020 11:12

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah I'd try again in a few days to be sure! I'm good thank you been having a chilled morning as I had a very busy day yesterday! Enjoying looking at everyone's cat and baby pics haha x

@LV1987 when I tried for first time I came off pill and waited 7 months before even trying so I bet if I'd started straight away it wouldn't have happened either. It's annoying how it can take so long to get out your system and for everything to regulate. Keep going you will get there x

lucyrp · 25/07/2020 11:17

@Ltay2 omg your kitty! 😍

@Cocoblue22 @SmileyT
yessss so excited. Haven't had sex for like a week 😂I am needing it. Gave oh head this morning and I refused to let him finish as I want the weeks worth of swimmers for me when I've finished af 🤢😂😂x

@Franklydear my favourite is daisy although I'm still not overly excited at thag. I'm just calling her puss and a daisy at the moment 😂

SarahTTC2020 · 25/07/2020 11:24

Morning everyone! Been catching up! @Minster2012 I love the new hair 😍
@Noble89 love your ginger baby pic 😍 DH is ginger so I'm hoping his genes carry through

DH agreed that if I wasn't going to tell him when I had a positive opk this cycle then he had to have sex with me every other day starting yesterday. Annoyingly he waited until 2am and several gins so he was going at it for over half an hour and couldn't finish 🙄 maybe some pre-cum swimmers still got in there 🤷🏼‍♀️ hoping for better tomorrow just in case fw has started

LV1987 · 25/07/2020 11:28

@Newbie0818 morning lovely 😊 I've been on the pill since I was 16, I had a break for about 2 years when I was 24(ish) and they regulated then to 32 days quite quickly. I'm now 33 though, and had been back on it for about 8 years by the time we started trying. If I am honest, I misused it a little - I was on one that you take for 3 weeks and then have a withdrawal bleed, but consistently skipped the withdrawal bleed for a few months at a time. So, I've probably gone and f**ked my body up! I think I will have a chat with the GP after this cycle so I have another "tracked" one under my belt. Then I should know whether this long one was an anomaly or not ❤️

Newbie0818 · 25/07/2020 11:35

Aww @notyetamumbuttrying still not out though!

@LV1987 ah I did the same with skipping the bleed, it was so convenient for big events and holidays etc. I thought initially that was what was wrong but I suppose not. Always worth a gp trip as they're more likely to help with irregularities than ttc :) hopefully it was just an anomaly like you said.
