@snapple21 I feel awful to be that person but they do all have two lines I am so sorry. Mine had two lines that looked exactly like yours. But remember you are only 9dpo. Still super early you may not have even implanted yet

@candycrush2298 don't feel awful that's what I wanted someone to clarify!!!

candycrush2298 · 15/08/2020 10:05

@snapple21 just feel like I am crushing your hope which I definitely don't want to do. Remember you are early. Truly hope you still get your bfp this cycle xx

snapple21 · 15/08/2020 10:18

I don't think it will be this cycle I don't know why!
Just feeling negative.
You start wondering why you aren't conceiving which I don't need to tell you, you get it.
I've been pregnant three times before and have 1 child! The longest I tried was 5 months, so I'm not there yet. Sorry for whinging I know there are people who have been trying for a lot longer

I’ve woken up to spotting blood in my knickers. Nothing on wiping. BFN again.

I forgot to test this morning as was late for work! 🙈 how long do i need to hold pee to test this afternoon?

candycrush2298 · 15/08/2020 12:03

@Kaybobx lol!!! Umm 3 hours with like absolute minimum fluid intake. Longer if you can. I hate holding my pee hahahah. Make sure to pee before you start holding to get rid of the fluid lol.

Kaybobx · 15/08/2020 12:09

@candycrush2298 oh gosh thats hard work, might wait until the morning haha

candycrush2298 · 15/08/2020 12:21

@Kaybobx I know its so tough isn't it. Thats why as soon as I can stop testing opks I do because its so hard going lol

Just had an argument with someone about not having kids yet, why do people think it’s their business to make comments like “ you’re getting old you may not be able to have kids if you leave it longer” Honestly and the comparisons to people who had their kids at 18 and still use bank of mum and dad as they please .... sorry I am fuming 😤 just needed to rant

candycrush2298 · 15/08/2020 13:57

@Elakiya sometimes people just think becuase you're not pregnant youre not trying. People can be very insensitive when they want to. They don't realise the struggles we are going through. And we shouldn't have to share it with them. So sorry you having such a rough day

OP posts:
Elakiya · 15/08/2020 14:07

@candycrush2298 I guess. It feels like no one has any respect for you when you don't have kids Sad. I think I am super emotional anyway due to AF hormones. But honestly I am sick of this.

candycrush2298 · 15/08/2020 14:11

@Elakiya I get the same thing my family is always asking when are you going to have kids... my family is young to their standards I am pretty old to not have children yet. Its mostly extended family. And my mother in law. But hubby finally told her we are struggling and now she has backed off.
Awww I know emotions are all over the place for women though. Its OK to feel sensitive you have a right to feel however you want. Not sure how close you are to the person but if you feel up to it maybe you should educate them a little in the real world struggles people have.

OP posts:
Welliedays · 15/08/2020 14:27

I'm fortunate that we never really have anyone asking! Sorry to hear you aren't as fortunate @elakiya @candycrush2298

Elakiya · 15/08/2020 14:43

@candycrush2298 it’s my parents and to be honest I would tell them if they kept it to themselves but they won’t they’ll just go and tell everyone. Then all my extended family will find out and I don’t want that 😞.

I think I just need to distance myself from these people otherwise I am going to become quite depressed

Welliedays · 15/08/2020 15:48

I've just woken up for a 1.5 hour nap. Please tell me I'll get a BFP when I test. I NEVER have afternoon naps normally 😂

NamechangeTTC · 15/08/2020 16:40

@Welliedays sounds like it has worked for you.

@Elakiya I’m sorry. We’re the same. Work are the worst for questions.

candycrush2298 · 15/08/2020 19:13

@Elakiya yeah thats a really sticky one. From their perspective they likely just want to be grandparents and havent really considered that you are trying rhey likely just assume because you aren't grandparents yet its because you don't want children. So sorry hun that's very tough!!

@Welliedays oh I cant freaken wait for you to test now.

@NamechangeTTC ouch!! Thats really shit when its work colleagues sorry hun xx

candycrush2298 · 15/08/2020 19:17

I got my hair extensions refitted and colour done I feel like a new woman hahahaha!!!

So we BD'd this morning yeah and I showered afterwards but anyway now at 7pm just had like a huge clump of ewcm like the biggest I have ever seen in my life - soooooo I dont know if the BD is partly responsible for that or if its the soy.....

OP posts:
Welliedays · 15/08/2020 19:24

@namechangettc that's hard when it's work too.

Tbh @elakiya I'd just tell your parents.... I think we need to break the taboo of not telling people that you're struggling to conceive... A bit like mental health is now not something to hide. Not being able to just produce a baby quickly and easily shouldn't be a big secret... Think of the support you'd get from family and friends if they all knew (generically, this isn't aimed at you @elakiya). One of my friends knows about my chemical and she's been great, we just talk about it totally normally and it's made it much easier. If we struggle to get a sticky bean, then I'll defs tell some more friends as I don't think it's something to be ashamed of and would actually stop me going crazy (or more crazy than I already am 😂)

@candycrush2298 my husband seems fairly convinced we've defs fertilised the little bean as he says I'm the same as I was last month with being tired and eating alll the snacks (and he's obvs not symptom spotting like mad, so I'm taking that as a good sign that there's correlation!) but I think he's as concerned as I am that it might not stick again, so he's told me not to test too soon... I said I might tomorrow morning but he's saying to wait until at least Monday. I don't know when to do it! I just keep thinking it will be negative (even with my symptoms) or it won't stick around and we'll have the same as last month

candycrush2298 · 15/08/2020 19:37

@Welliedays lets hope not! Test when you feel comfortable to do it. I cant wait to see it whenever you do and if it is positive I pray its a sticky bean for you 😘

OP posts:
Welliedays · 15/08/2020 20:23

So for some unknown reason I decided to test, even though I haven't been holding my wee, and I used an Asda test.... So not the most sensitive. And it's as negative as it possible!! Literally not even the faintest line! Why did I so that?!

candycrush2298 · 15/08/2020 20:45

@Welliedays yeah I wouldn't even think about that test. Just pretend it didn't happen 😂😂😂

@Kaybobx were you able to hold your pee?
