@Catherinettc aw thank you and I feel the same for you! ❤️Thank god we got those weird cycles out of the way! OMG that's hilarious so true too 😂😂

Juno231 · 30/07/2020 12:13

@popcorndiva omg that's amazing! Test again with the FRER in the evening maybe?

Katao · 30/07/2020 12:15

Girls I could ramble on about bras all day but honestly try the suggested size. Basically everyone is wearing too small a cup and too large a band. The cup should fit all the breast tissue in so you don't end up with underarm fat! It's amazing. True brands vary a bit but the calculator gave me 28H and in my favourite brand l wear a 30GG which is equivalent. I had been wearing a very uncomfortable 34DD. I'll attach a couple of helpful pics to demonstrate. It's helped so much with neck and shoulder pain too.

@Juno231 yeah I agree a 34 is too tight on me now I deffo need a 36 and some 36s even feel too tight! I hate feeling squeezed in to anything I really don't like tight clothes! I thought bra sizes were universal? Sizing really annoys me how it's so different in clothes shops x

@LaceyMermaid yes I agree I hate back size measurements they never seem to fit comfortably x

I gave up on wired bras as I found that the wires constantly dig into the sides of my boobs which are really uncomfortable so I've been wearing non wired since having DS x

@Amy00 you'll have to pop over to the PG bus when you're ready x

@Quercus3 it's crazy isn't it! How can I got from a C to a G?!? There's no way my boobies are a G!!! X

@Vil10 bottomless brunch sounds lovely x

Cocoblue22 · 30/07/2020 12:25

@Katao next time I'm in a shop I'll try a 34G on to see x

Quercus3 · 30/07/2020 12:26

@Katao so interesting! Think I might treat myself to a new bra next pay day if we're not lucky TTC this time around!

LaceyMermaid · 30/07/2020 12:29

@Newbie0818 thank you, trying to keep busy in the garden today so I’m not thinking about it. I did cave and do a frer today which of course was stark white so that serves me right! Not going to test until Saturday or Sunday now which will be 13/14dpo

Katao · 30/07/2020 12:31

On the ttc side I'm cd16 and still getting low opks so I'm going with the peak i got at cd8 which makes me 7dpo and I'll be testing on the 3rd @SmileyT if you are making a list for the next bus, thank you.
@Cocoblue22 honestly I was you a year ago living in soft bras because wires dug in but they dig in because the cup is way too small. I don't want to sound like I'm trying to convert people to a cult or something banging on about it 🙈😂 but join the page and you will get so much info and see how and why the measurements make sense.

popcorndiva · 30/07/2020 12:31

Thanks @Juno231 not getting my hopes up though. Will just wait it out if AF doesn't come by Sunday will test again. Just as I told my DM how we have decided to stop now till next year as I wanted to be able to drink lots of cocktails on our holiday end of August

Katao · 30/07/2020 12:36

@Quercus3 I find it fascinating! Slightly annoyed that igot to my mid 30s without knowing how bras work but hey hoo 😂 like I always thought different style bras were to suit different necklines on clothes etc but they are actually to suit different boob shapes!!!

Cocoblue22 · 30/07/2020 12:42

@Katao which page? X

Katao · 30/07/2020 12:42

Sorry @popcorndiva sorry missed your post until I looked back. I can definitely see something. Surprised the frer was negative. Unless the ics are dodgy. Was it in the timeframe? A waiting game as you say. Hope to hear good news from you soon!

Katao · 30/07/2020 12:44

@Cocoblue22 they havea Facebook group to help with the sizing method. It's called boob or bust bra measuring advice
It's very educational.

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/07/2020 13:02

Hey @popcorndiva I remember you from May! Those tests look promising! When are you due on?

Ltay2 · 30/07/2020 13:05

@popcorndiva Ahh exciting I can definitely see lines on both of those! Test again tomorrow? 🤞🏼

@Katao what was the name of the bra site you said was good for returns (if it was you!) ? I'm definitely trying to boob or bust calculator thing tonight I have alwaysss struggled with bra size but need a site I can order online and return things to easily!

Katao · 30/07/2020 13:12

@Ltay2 brastop is the one I mainly use, find it great for returns and always bras on sale, good section. I have also used bravissimo (their own brand bras are gorgeous but sized a bit small so need a cup up) and figleaves both also great service for easy returns. Happy shopping 😀

Newbie0818 · 30/07/2020 13:15

@Juno231 ooh interesting. I'll keep an eye out for a possible dip then. I had cramps yesterday and this morning so I do wonder.

I remember you @popcorndiva ! Those look good to me! I read on some threads that for some women FRER don't pick it up well, so maybe that? Try another brand in a few days I'd say.

@LaceyMermaid ah yes, slightly early for that probably. Good you're keeping busy :) ☀️

@Katao so if I'm a 32b, what should I be trying?

Vil10 · 30/07/2020 13:25

So I've just been upstairs at my mums and walked to the top of the stairs and felt like I could smell this horrible like gasoline smell it was so strong and awful, was like burning vodka!! My mum and sister couldn't smell anything, turned out it was the polish my mum had used to clean the bannister! Very strange and again trying not to symptom spot🙄

Newbie0818 · 30/07/2020 13:41

@Vil10 It's so hard not to symptom spot haha! Although I'd be thinking the same as you probably are right now 🙊

Katao · 30/07/2020 13:41

@Newbie0818 do you mean which style? If so its not really about size, more shape. So whether they are top heavy or bottom heavy, or even. have a look at these pictures. Or if your boobs sit close together a low gore is better rather than a high gore

Catherinettc · 30/07/2020 14:05

@popcorndiva I defo see something on them clearly! Can't wait for u to test again xx
@Vil10 oooh sounds promising!

Heading to the caravan for the night and Internet not great but will try to keep up

Newbie0818 · 30/07/2020 14:17

@Katao who'd have thought! How interesting. Thanks :)

SmileyT · 30/07/2020 14:24

@Cocoblue22 booked in for a Hollywood, although I've heard it could be more sensitive down there so might end up keeping a strip 😂

@Amy00 erm I've taken it a few days but I'm trying to sleep in until 6.30 so don't want to have a set time to temp before that, annoyingly mine was a MMC so my body was just carrying on as if it was fine, so not even sure my temp would give me a heads up that something had gone wrong 😤

@Quercus3 I think the cervix can take a bit of time to get into position mine definitely wasn't high when I got my BFP 🤔

@popcorndiva 🤞

@Katao you know what that all makes sense I definitely imagined the cup size just got plonked onto whatever width band. I know for a fact mine are wrong so worth trying something new 👌🏾 and admittedly when I was measured about 10years ago they told me I was a D but was wearing a B at the time so thought no way, but obviously they'll know better than me 😂 I was hoping somebody would take over bus making for me 👀

Ooh I'm so excited for testing at the weekend, so many good signs xx

@SmileyT that's the problem with being good at something, it gets left to you! We'll have to hold elections 😂 ya I'm completely fascinated by bras now. I had it so wrong for so long!
