@Mia1985x I feel this too! Even my sister who is very much aware of everything will still comment on how much I'm drinking or how I'm not drinking at all. Even as recently as 2 Saturdays ago she questioned why I wasn't drinking. It was because I had work in the morning! I've tried to avoid questions by having just one but then I get "why are you just having one?" it makes me so cross

Crayon7 · 25/08/2020 12:20

So frustrating with drinking isn't it. Why too much, why not at all, must be pregnant?

Makes me wanna say Stfu leave your comments to you. Nobody's business if we drinking/are TTC or don't want kids at all

@Mia1985x I sooo get you it's been 2 years and I get desperate too. Thinking to waste my money on Ava bracelet now just to know I tried everything😞

Crayon7 · 25/08/2020 12:21

@Mia1985x it's been 2 years and 20th cycle for us too now. Frustrating as my cycles are around 33-35 days so overall I 'missed out' on two during that time compare to normal length cycle ladies.

Stabal · 25/08/2020 13:18

@Crayon7 omg I know exactly how you feel re cycle length and feeling like you've less opportunity! Mine are around 35 days and before my miscarriage my luteal phase was quite long but I now seem to be ovulating later at CD20-22 and the luteal phase a normal length thank god. Though obviously I'd rather the whole thing was shortened lol

Stabal · 25/08/2020 18:40

Our little kitty had the vets today for her first injections.. Turns out our little baby girl is a little baby boy 🤦‍♀️😂 been calling him little girl and greeting him after work with "hey pretty girl".. At least something gave me a giggle today!

Crayon7 · 25/08/2020 19:21

@Stabal aaah I can recognise boys and girls but had cats for years now. Are you going to rename him now?:D

I love cats, we have 3 ❤️

Livvi2021 · 25/08/2020 19:22

@Stabal haha that's funny! Happened to us once too. Thought we had a boy for ages then she had kittens lol. So sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I cant imagine how horrific that must have been for you :(

My.brother keeps asking my mom all the time, as he thinks I'm pregnant and I'm not, it's so awful the constant reminder. plus sometimes I don't have caffeine and alcohol and again the family get excited and it's like nooooo I'm just trying to be healthier grrrr

Stabal · 25/08/2020 19:32

@Crayon7 I've had cats for years too! This kitten is our third as well. We have a tortie who is 8 and a ginger who is 6, had them both from kittens. When we got this kitten I actually said to my OH are we sure this is a girl? Because I swore there was something there. He was positive.. I'm glad I was right 😂 his name is Booh (bat out of hell) because he's black with big ears like a bat (and I'm a huge Meat Loaf fan) so the name can stay the same haha suits him more now! It's so weird because our ginger had the biggest balls you could ever have imagined so it was extremely obvious he was male!

@Livvi2021 thank you 💕 we had cats when I was growing up and one we thought was a boy had kittens on my brothers bed on mother's day 😂

Crayon7 · 25/08/2020 19:52

@Stabal hahaha I guess good thing is you can tell your hubby I TOLD YOU I was right 😁

Livvi2021 · 25/08/2020 22:16

@Stabal haha, wow on mother's Day too! That's funny!

Right ladies, off to sleep, hope you've all had a good day and sweet dreams Smile

butterfly5291 · 26/08/2020 09:01

Morning everyone one.

Glad to hear you were feeling brighter yesterday @Stabal

Officially 3 dpo according to fertility friend app. I've blended up a pineapple with some orange juice to have as a smoothie. It's actually really nice. Anyone know how much pineapple are we meant to have each day?

Manasvi · 26/08/2020 09:20

AF paid a visit one day in advance ☹️😔 I hope others have a better luck this month

Stabal · 26/08/2020 09:52

@butterfly5291 I think you're meant to cut the whole pineapple into 6 slices keeping the core and eat a slice each day

@Manasvi sorry to hear that! 😔

Stabal · 26/08/2020 10:30

Have spent the morning feeling sick and a rumbly tummy like you'd get when on antibiotics? Trying not to read into it 🙄 could literally be something bad I've ate but we run with our imaginations don't we 😂

BellaBella84 · 26/08/2020 10:44

Been at work for a few days so just catching up now. Re alcohol, I'm lucky that most of my friends wouldn't notice or care, my family on th other hand are a right bunch of pissheads! I've found telling them in trying to lose weight keeps them from nosing about my business! 🤣

Livvi2021 · 26/08/2020 11:12

@butterfly5291 I think I'm 3 dpo too! Now for the wait!

I've started feeling really sick this morning but no it's waaay too soon...I think my body just mimics pregnancy symptoms to tease me lol.

@Manasvi I'm sorry Sad

@Stabal think I've started too late? I did blend the core as well. How many days dpo are you now?

@Livvi2021 thankfully I'm really busy but still going to wishing the days away till I can test!

@galatea098 sorry about AF arriving. Have you been using OPKs and BBT?

butterfly5291 · 26/08/2020 13:06

@Manasvi sorry I meant to rag you in that same comment along with @galatea098

Stabal · 26/08/2020 13:09

@butterfly5291 I think it should be okay! You've still a few days before implantation would happen. I'm 7 DPO so I know in my head I'm too early for symptoms but we're all a bit crazy with the symptom spotting aren't we lol

butterfly5291 · 26/08/2020 13:41

@Stabal yeah that's what I thought, I've probably got at least 4-5 days before implantation could possibly happen.
I find it mind blowing how these things can be happening inside us that's going to change our lives!

Manasvi · 26/08/2020 13:45

@Stabal fingers crossed for you. I was so suree that I had all the symptoms this month but as @livvi2021 said my body too is having fun with these.

@butterfly5291 I did try using opks one month but I never saw a positive line on it so stopped using it

Stabal · 26/08/2020 13:50

@butterfly5291 me too! I've definitely become obsessed with the menstrual cycle in general now lol I find it all fascinating. I've been telling everyone to track theirs whether they're TTC or not. I have my best friends cycle on my phone too because she's useless so I keep her right 😂

@Manasvi it is mental torture isn't it. There's just no need for early pregnancy symptoms to be the same as PMS!

Jadeb1995 · 26/08/2020 14:18

Hey guys, I finally got my static smiley face today! Perfect timing as we have DTD for the last 3 days in a row so again today and tomorrow.
My ovulation is also 2 days earlier this month and I was worried as my luteal phase was 10 days last month so hopefully longer this month to allow for a sticky bean!
Fingers crossed for everyone else!
