@Katao yeah I know, I'm like that, I'd worry so so much, especially because of the symptoms I've had, and tonight I've had strange but mild pain low down in my stomach like middle but more to the right that I don't think I usually have! I think I might test on the Saturday morning, surely an frer will pick something up even if it's vvv faint??

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah I definitely think that's what I'm going to do! If I get bfn I'll feel so much better after a few drinks and hopefully feel better for the next cycle!

@lucyrp ohhh how annoying!! Is he just not taking any notice of your sexy sets?? Give him a clob round the ear with his controller😂 I know I'd be fuming if I had a sober night and then the Sunday I got a bfn!

lucyrp · 30/07/2020 22:01

@Vil10 he literally waits until he's finished on his game or however long he wants to play for and then comes onto me and I can't be like no thanks after because he just wouldn't try again for days I have to go along with it. He's talking to them on the mic too which is even worse 😂😭 whatever you do I hope you have a good night!

Katao · 30/07/2020 22:06

@notyetamumbuttrying i know exactly how you feel and it was so frustrating at the time but I wouldn't change it now as the end result was worth the wait 😊

Tofu35 · 30/07/2020 22:07

On my testing day I'm away to a holiday cottage with some friends, the temptation to test early is high (or else I sit for the weekend, waiting for AF and wonder if I could sneak a test 😂). Bad timing!

Katao · 30/07/2020 22:14

Oh my god @lucyrp! Has he no eyes in his head! That boy needs to get his priorities straight

Vil10 · 30/07/2020 22:18

@lucyrp yeah FW really isn't the time to be playing hard to get is it! Maybe after FW is done make him work a bit harder for it😂 Thankyou!!

So our town and surrounding towns has been announced on the news that from midnight tonight we cannot mix with other households inside or in pubs again, I've had it now, covid can get to fuck

Minster2012 · 30/07/2020 22:20

@Ltay2 shit there's a sandwich one??? I just had regular Oreo, I'm not gonna get pregnant now am i👎🏻😐😬

@Vil10 you know my answer. I'd be "get it in whilst I can" but I'm clearly not the voice of reason

@notyetamumbuttrying I know a few currently "on the pill but pregnant"..great...super sperm & you are a lovely nest. Just great. Move away thanks 😫😖

@lucyrp def need to watch those shoes, addicted & normal ppl. I can't believe your OH is resisting you?!!!

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/07/2020 22:23

@Vil10 sounds like a plan! Enjoy your weekend 🥳

@Katao ah that's so lovely 😊

Ooh I wouldn't be able to resist! @Tofu35 how many dpo will you be?

I agree with @Katao @lucyrp 😬 but these boys with their games tho! No stopping them sometimes!

Vil10 · 30/07/2020 22:26

@Minster2012 hahahaha I love a good drink too!! I don't know what to do! Maybe I test Saturday morning at 10dpo with an frer! Will still be 4 days before af!

@notyetamumbuttrying Thankyou! You have a lovely weekend too!

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/07/2020 22:27

@Minster2012 it was ridic! My poor sister was so nervous about telling me bless her! I was fine as was only about 4 months in and thought I'd be joining soon after, oh how wrong I was 😫 she's giving birth in two weeks 😂

lucyrp · 30/07/2020 22:28

@Katao I don't think he has any eyes no 😂😭

@Vil10 no definitely not a good idea in fertile week! Maybe after 😏

@Minster2012 he has just undressed himself so maybe alas no longer 😈

Tofu35 · 30/07/2020 22:42

I would be 15 days DPO by then @notyetamumbuttrying. Using the natural cycles app so it says I should expect AF on Tuesday but shouldn't test until the Friday. Eek. Stocked up on tampons just in case we have another guest in the cottage with us!

Juno231 · 30/07/2020 22:49

@Tofu35 test the day before! If that's a BFN you won't realistically be getting a BFP after 14DPO.

Minster2012 · 30/07/2020 23:00

Oh god @notyetamumbuttrying that's so frustrating. I feel ya. I've got friends who told me very sensitively...then proceeded TO GO ON ABOUT BEING PREGNANT & how wonderful it was for months on end. That's not sensitive btw ladies!! 😂🤣

@Tofu35 I think it depends on IF you want to know before?

@Vil10 how guilty would you feel drinking not knowing?! Or how difficult to not be drinking there? That's what you need to ask yourself. I am fine with knowing that IMO it doesn't harm a pregnancy that early. But if you feel wracked with guilt then that's not you.

DH currently showing me porn to get me interested.

I'm not 🤨😂

notyetamumbuttrying · 30/07/2020 23:08

@Tofu35 yeah agree with @Juno231! Good luck!

@Minster2012 gosh yeah I've distanced myself from one, but then she is in Scotland! 🙈 My other mate is great and always asks if I want to see her bump or scan pic etc, rather than just bombarding me with pics!
Haha poor DH, he's on the wrong category 🤣

Tofu35 · 30/07/2020 23:18

Good point @Minster2012. I had a friend a while back that was a few weeks pregnant and went on a girls weekend, they clocked her drinking soft drinks and badgered her for the weekend on whether or not she was pregnant. Maybe it's best not to know!

Lettie365 · 30/07/2020 23:20

Thanks for the new bus @SmileyT. I caved and tested early this morning at 12DPO 😳 exited, a little shocked and wanting AF due date to pass without a hiccup!! Due on Sunday . Best of luck to you all waiting to test x

How is he gonna give you the goods?? August 🚌 Bitches
Clairey844 · 30/07/2020 23:21

Just marking my place, thanks for the new bus @SmileyT and thank you to @Juno231 for offering to drive the next one.
Let's hope lots of us can also straddle the graduates bus soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Excited for all the testers at the weekend, does anyone else do the weird thing where you sort of get particularly invested in certain others on here who are slightly ahead of you and tell yourself that if they get their BFP then you will too? Or am I just a mad superstitious weirdo? 😂 Don't feel I explained it well so hopefully someone else will know what I mean.

Loved the bra chat. As a teenager I remember being told that if you wore a bigger cup size you would 'grow into it'😂😂😂 so needless to say I spent most of my early teens wearing gapey cups in the hope my boobs would grow to fill it. Incase anyone is considering it-don't bother-it doesn't work 🤦🏻‍♀️

@SmileyT I had a full on waxing twice when I was pregnant (although later on in the pregnancy like 28 and 34 weeks) and the first time I got quite hot and dizzy so I'd recommend taking a bottle of cold water to sip as regular intervals as your hormones are different to what you're normally used to.

@Vil10 i have a weird pain too today. Almost feels like a stitch or like ovulation pain (although lower and more in than where I feel ovulation pain normally). I've had it on and off since this afternoon. And obviously because I'm totally relaxed and chilled about TTC this month I haven't spent ages googling "9dpo stitch like pain" or anything 😂😂😂

I'm not even sure I am 9dpo, all I know is AF is due Wed 5th. Plus even if I did ovulate when I think I did, we only DTD on CD11 and then not again until CD19 thanks to spending FW in a shared caravan 😂😂

I have got the fancy clear blue ovulation kit with the flashing smily faces ready for next month as I know this month is very unlikely to be our month so looking forward to using that.

Good luck to all those testing this weekend, we are so overdue some BFPs 🥰🥰

Clairey844 · 30/07/2020 23:23

Don't know why most of my post is in bloody bold btw 🤷‍♀️

SarahTTC2020 · 30/07/2020 23:34

Marking my place in new thread and will catch up in morning. Thanks @SmileyT!

I don't have a test date as don't know when I'll ovulate yet, just happily banging away

LT103 · 31/07/2020 00:15

@Clairey844 no I also cheer on others. Especially if I see people similar age, number of cycles trying etc. I guess it just gives me hope that mine will come!

Love seeing all the positives here @Lettie365. I think I just congratulated you on a different post but that’s a perfect positive!! Hope it all goes well for you

Mococo1 · 31/07/2020 02:49

Morning ladies

Just thought I would wish you all best of luck on your journeys! ♥️

I'm going to attempt to take a break from MN for my mental health as I'm avoiding all things pregnancy related - I'm constantly worried about my symptoms disappearing (all gone now and skin seems to be going back to normal as well) and I have a major inkling that things wont be looking up for me this time round either ☹️ hoping to pop back on here with good news at some point but doubtful! Will probs jump back on the bus if/when ttc again x

Sprinkling lots of baby dust to you all! Xxxx

outwiththeoldforgood · 31/07/2020 03:58

Hi ladies, do you mind if I join too? Testing 30th August. TTC baby #2 Grin

glowingtwig · 31/07/2020 05:00

Hi ladies, can I join? Ttc number 2, DD 9 months and still BF... I'm 9 DPO I think, cycle 2. I just RTFT and interestinggggg about the progesterone and spots... I'm really spotty atm which is super unusual for me (symptom potting like mad over here).

Last pregnancies (DD and first pregnancy an early mc) I had super sore boobs, but did anyway in the lead up to AF. But since BFeeding I haven't had sore boobs at all?! So that's one symptom I can't over-analyse Grin

Skip86 · 31/07/2020 06:06

Morning gorgeous ladies!

@SmileyT you have been a bus driver star ⭐️ and thanks @Juno231 for putting your hand up! Get those spreadsheets ready babe.

@Vil10 not sure if you remember a couple of months ago I was in a similar position as you - had my bday party on a Saturday night and was about 12DPO. I decided to not test and drink that night, preceded to get BLIND (and had a bloody great night), to the point I was not well the next day when I had planned to test (reminder - spewed in the Uber eats bag 🤢).
AF showed the Sunday night, which I felt relieved at in a way after how much I drank! If I had my time again I would've done same but had less to drink (ie still not tested sat morning and had a good night being naively optimistic that it could be a BFP, rather than depressed during my party because of it being BFN).
Difference with your situation is 10DPO there's no certainty even with a frer!!
Lots of different thoughts on this though and you can only do what's right/comfortable for you! 💗

@lucyrp agreed FW is not a time for hard to get! If he's playing his games I think you need to get those sexy knickers on and go sit on his face.

@notyetamumbuttrying I don't have anything specific of yours to reply to, but just wanted to say I am SO gunning for you to get your BFP. I want all these lovely ladies to of course, but shit when your day comes (and it will) I'm legit going to scream and then take myself out for a celebratory champagne in your honour.

@Clairey844 slightly disappointed you didn't manage to DTD during your caravan holiday - I was looking forward to the hilarity of how that would work!

@Mococo1 im so sorry to hear you're feeling so anxious, and completely understand wanting to take a break. If you do happen to see this though, I have everything crossed for you and sending massive virtual good vibes that everything is fine and you will not be ttc again for a very long while xx 💗

Ooh congrats @Lettie365 !! Lovely line there 😍

Hi hi to new joiners! And good luck!!
