@Stabal so sorry AF turned up but least you can move on rather than being uncertain. What a hero cooking a roast...have a lovely bottle of red with it.

What are people's thoughts on stress negatively impacting chances of conceiving. I have got SO much going on it's untrue and absolutely none of it within my control 😣

@Stabal gaaahhh how annoying and shit. Im so sorry. Definitely enjoy a roast and a bottle of wine! I'm only 3DPO so early days for me. Not going to test until 12DPO but last month AF arrived on 12DPO anyway.

@butterfly5291 I think it can have a huge effect. I also went through house drama backend of last year and beginning of this year (I was TTC then) and house fell through a lot. Then covid happened and then stress of job loss etc. I think it has been a year of a lot of stress and anxiety which may have had an effect on me conceiving. I know my friend actuay conceived when she was most "relaxed" after a year of trying. But the most unhelpful advice ever is when people say "just relax and it will happen". My dad loves saying that and it annoys the hell out of me

@butterfly5291 I absolutely think stress has an impact. I still 100% believe we fell pregnant in March not only because we relaxed tracking but also because both of our shifts at work were dwindling with covid so there was less stress at our jobs and had more time at home together whereas normally we are passing ships most of the week!

@CAG14 really really hoping this is your time 🤞 4 days until you can symptom spot 😂

Evening ladies, I've got the weirdest tingling sensation in my right nipple this evening. I've noticed they've had a mind of their own today and have been hard at times but now it's just tingling.
I also went for a walk earlier and my chest felt quite tight, as if someone was sat on it - bizarre I know!
Has anyone had this before?

I have breast implants so I'm trying not to read into things too much as also think my implants can cause weird things 😂

@CAG14 did you get your house stuff sorted in the end? I should be putting TTC to back of my mind and just seeing what happens but I don't know how anyone manages that.
I would hope that most of the pieces would fall into place by next year but who knows!!

@butterfly5291 yes luckily it all worked out in the end and we moved in February. But it took a year (but still got the same house we put an offer on as they were amazing and waited for us) because we had to sell my husband's flat first which kept falling through! I know how stressful it can be but hopefully it will all work out and be worth it xxx

@stabal omg I know me too. OH is going to get tested if we fail this month and I will also look into a docs appointment for myself to start things.

@Jadeb1995 I have implants too and I feel the same and even a bit of shortness of breath

@Jadeb1995 one of my symptoms in March was shortness of breath. I was convinced I had corona before I knew it was pregnancy.. I remember us out walking and I thought I might be dying I couldn't breathe properly 😂 so good signs!

@CAG14 I think that's a good idea, the sooner all bases are covered the better. My OH was so embarrassed about the semen analysis, I had to keep reiterating to him that thousands of men have to do this lol. The most awkward thing was that we went to see Rhod Gilbert last year and his show was about him and his wife's fertility.. I wish we had known before we went as at the time it hit us hard. But we ended up sinking 3 bottles of the cheapest nastiest wine at the venue in about half an hour at the break to compensate and we ended up having a good laugh at it and came to realisation it would be us going through it a few months later!

@mrsgtobe97 I can definitely see the faintest of faint lines on the frer. It was as faint as mine when i first tested.

@Stabal I'm so sorry for you again hun hugs you deserve so much to have your little bundle and I so hope it happens for you soon ❤️ that's lovely that he's doing that for you, what a nice guy! He knows how to treat a woman!

@stepmumSW5 I think your progression lines look great! I've looked at some on net and some look way lighter than yours at 13dpo. I know it's hard though, in going through the same thing with my lines and they're just so faint and it's so early anything could happen. I can't even allow myself to be excited yet. I just want a thick bold line lol

@butterfly5291 yeah they say it has a massive impact don't they. It's hard to put TTC to the back of your mind when you want it so bad isn't it. I've been desperate for a baby for so long and sometimes you just can't put it on the back burner.

@Livvi2021 thank you so much. He's a wonderful man and this whole thing has made me love him in a whole other level I never thought possible. Even though last night I dreamt he told me he didn't want a baby or to get married anymore and he left me and moved to another town.. I told him about it and now he keeps joking he's away to said town. Sometimes I hate him hahaha

@Stabal awww lol I don't think men appreciate how much dreams can affect us women. I'll tell my DH similar things about dreams and he just says well it's only a dream etc. etc. and makes fun of me

Ahh @stepmumSW5 so nice to hear from someone who has implants too!! It's so hard to know isn't it. I'm keeping everything crossed then!!

@Stabal actually now you say that I did have shortness of breath with my chemical in June. Hopefully it's a good sign

Would be so nice to see some more BFPs on this thread before the 3rd one gets started!!

@Livvi2021 thank you💕 mine at 9dpo was really faint but some of our fellow ttcers here could spot it for me 🌸🙏

@Jadeb1995 my main concern is the breastfeeding and if it will hurt when it grows

@Livvi2021 he said to me "you're mean to me in my dreams sometimes but I don't take it out on you in real life" but he wouldn't tell me what dream me has done to him and I'm dying to know 😂

@Jadeb1995 so exciting! It's so nice when it's people that have had to put the work in to make it happen. Makes me emotional lol

@stepmumSW5 yes I sometimes worry about this as well but hoping for the best!!

@Stabal oh my god me too!! I feel so invested in some people's journeys!!

The only thing with this shortness of breath is that I struggle to then just breathe out my nose which buggers up my temping 😂 can't win can you!!

@Jadeb1995 hopefully we will be fine 🤞xx

@Stabal 😂 that's what I always say to my hubby "you were me to me last night" but I always tell him why, then he just says well it wasn't real haha.

I've got some more tests coming tomorrow, do fingers crossed for a darker line then 🤞 night night sleep well all x

@Stabal so sorry AF made an appearance 😔 love the positive attitude though and enjoy your Sunday roast and wine. Sounds like a good one you've got there. AF arrived for me today too as I had expected so onto another month.

@Livvi2021 I also definitely see the line on your tests! Hopefully you get a darker one tomorrow and DH will see it too this time.

@stepmumSW5 your progression looks good, I'd def be happy with that. And I'm sure you will start to get the dark bold lines you are hoping for soon as your levels double each day.

So exciting to hear of a few of you getting your BFPs. Hopefully more follow soon 🤞🏻

@butterfly5291 so sorry to hear that your buyer has fell through, what a stressful time. I agree with you and the others that stress definitely has an impact on TTC but so hard not to stress. And I feel the stress and pressure increasing as each month passes with more BFNs.

@Crayon7 sorry for your BFN 😔 still not out until AF is here but some months we just have that feeling and know AF is on her way AGAIN eh. I'm with you on that.

The dream chat did give me a good chuckle. I can wake up in a mood with OH and it take me about 10 mins to realise its over a dream I had 🤣🤣🤣

@Mia1985x gahhh I'm sorry 😔 she is such a Debbie Downer is AF. Hahaha it's so stupid to be in a mood over but it always feels so real. In my dream I was so upset OH left me that I just didn't go to work, didn't tell anyone I wasn't going, just didn't show and when I went in the next day my supervisor was so angry that I had done that and fired me. When I woke up it felt so so real I actually had anxiety going into work today 😂

@Stabal haha that sounds like a very realistic dream! I can just imagine you going into work today with it still in the back of your mind 🤣 I always find it strange when you have a dream with work people in it the next day when you see them.

@Mia1985x have you ever had an awkward sexual dream about someone other than your OH? They are the absolute worst. Like where did that come from? You feel you can never look that person in the eye ever again! 🙈

@Stabal oh god. I had one about my boss once. I made the mistake of saying to my friends in work and I have never lived it down 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Still bfn here, temp still up but my tummy def feels like af is about to arrive!!

@LT103 omg 😂 so so awkward! Really hope AF stay at bay!

My temp dipped a bit 36.91 to 36.71 but I feel really hot and queasy still. Took an FRER...BFN so I'm just going to wait for AF now. Not like I haven't got enough going on.
OH said I don't look well so maybe I've just got a bug or something.
@LT103 has your temp being increasing or staying flat?

@butterfly5291 a bit of both really. I have honestly felt so crampy and convinced af was about to come for the last 4 or 5 days so it really wouldn’t surprise me if she arrived today or tomorrow
