Awww guys I fell asleep last night 😫😫😫 will it be too late when I get home from work??

NamechangeTTC · 19/08/2020 08:03

Trying to catch up but I’ve missed things.

@ReginaaPhalange what do you think you’re late for?

I’m not spotting this morning but decided not to test either since I’ve already pissed my way through 4 FRER.

snapple21 · 19/08/2020 08:06

It's hard to say @Kaybobx this is why I honestly hate blue dye tests. I think do a FRER later and hopefully that will give you a clearer picture 🙏🏻

My temp hasn't dropped loads but AF has started today. 30 day cycle. Bring on cycle four. Any hints or tips people! This is my plan -

  1. Clear blue monitor.
  2. Soy tablets days 3-7.
  3. Take vitamins every day.
  4. Try and lose weight.
  5. Have sex when the monitor says high until it finishes saying peak.
  6. DO NOT BUY ANY PREGNANCY TESTS UNLESS PERIOD IS LATE!!!!!!!
candycrush2298 · 19/08/2020 08:31

@ReginaaPhalange awwww no!! Test again tonight if its still high then you are still peaking and hopefully haven't yet ovulated so hopefully you can still make it tonight. When was the last time you Bd'd?

@NamechangeTTC so sorry you spotting more now. Think its a good plan not to test.

@snapple21 your temps didn't drop and AF started that sounds so weird lol!!! Never knew that could happen. But I guess without a coverline its tough to say how far down it is.

So sorry AF started hun!!! I am loving your plan specifically step 6!!! What vitamins are you taking is it preconception vits?

I am with you on step 4!! Doing the same thing. Starting from Monday I am going back on eating clean. Already ordered groceries from Tesco to be delivered so I avoid temptation of adding shit to my basket lol. Its probably not going to last long because I got on holiday in 4 weeks. But 3 weeks of eating clean might at least the photos of me look a little better 🤣🤣 then after holiday I will be almost going back to the office full time which is when I am really going to be back in routine and eating clean and being more active comes very naturally.
We can do this!!!

I am going to need all your girls support for not testing early. Please don't even ask me when am I going to test lol it just gets me excited and makes me test 🤣🤣 and if I mention I want to test tell me not too. Dont even ask what dpo I am because when I type it out I will know I am getting close to testing days hahahaha!!! Know this Friday I will be 1dpo and that means the earliest I will test is next week Sunday at 10dpo. Really need all your help as I cant be a psycho again this cycle 🤣🤣🤣

NamechangeTTC · 19/08/2020 08:48

I’m not spotting which is more confusing 😂

candycrush2298 · 19/08/2020 08:57

@NamechangeTTC oh read that all wrong hahaha. Thats good that you not spotting. I guess since you not testing you just wait for AF. When is AF actually due or are you already late?🤞

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 19/08/2020 09:01

Tomorrow.

Boobs not sore any more. Pretty much 100% out

Welliedays · 19/08/2020 09:42

@namechangettc I feel like AF is coming, I obvs really hope not, but I'm really not counting it out right now!! My tummy totally feels like it does the day of or the day before AF. So I could well be joining you again. In some ways, if it does happen then at least I can get my self to the doctor and like @boc86 I can hopefully be sorted ready for when we can trying again next year, so I guess not all will be lost. Trying to stay positive that I do have a sticky bean, but I am mentally preparing for AF arrival so it won't upset me too much.. I should have tested this morning but actually I'd probably rather not know if the line is lighter!

@candycrush2298, got it... We won't ask about dpo or testing!!

candycrush2298 · 19/08/2020 09:49

@Welliedays I have seen many women say it feels like AF is coming. So dont think you're out yet. 🤞 for a sticky bean!!!
If you do go to the doctor they won't help you unless you have been TTC for at least 1 year on NHS so keep that in mind you may have to tell a white lie haha. Or if you have had 3 chemicals then they may send for the tests @Boc86 can better advise though😔

And thank you I really need everyone's help because I am absolutely awful at testing continuously and then getting myself all worked up.

OP posts:
Welliedays · 19/08/2020 09:58

@candycrush2298 I'd be going about the chemicals as that would be two in a row and looking back at my cycles I had a 30 day and a 31 day cycle at the start of the year so I half wonder if they could have been chemicals too (I hadn't tested though so there's no proof but my cycles are usually 26-27 days max), so I'd likely say I'd had 3 to get my progesterone tests done... 2 confirmed in a row seems plenty to me!!

It's so hard not testing, but I feel like I'm actually doing OK... But then I know I'm testing on Sunday if I get that far so I guess I have a date in my head to aim for

candycrush2298 · 19/08/2020 10:09

@Welliedays its very possible you have had more but 2 confirmed would be way more than I could handle lets hope you dont have too though and that this one sticks💜💜

OP posts:
Welliedays · 19/08/2020 10:14

@candycrush2298 yes... I feel like I've rationalised it in my head and I have a plan for if AF does appear so I'm feeling much moe relaxed about it all now.

Even if it does stick I'm not leaving this chat until you've all got your BFPs as well!

NamechangeTTC · 19/08/2020 10:15

Praying for stickiness @Welliedays. I agree with @candycrush2298 that a lot of people describe it as like AF. I’m very similar feeling AF is arriving but without a BFP. Less tender boobs and crampy. Contemplating soy next month as I’m so bloody grumpy and depressed.

candycrush2298 · 19/08/2020 10:24

@Welliedays lol!! You are welcome to stay as long as you wish. I know I would be extremely happy with the updates and pictures of scans etc lol.

@NamechangeTTC hope you feel better soon being grumpy and depressed is never easy when TTC. So hopefully you will know soon with either a BFP or AF. The unknown is just horrible.

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 19/08/2020 10:36

I’m a grumpy bitch today it’s not gone well.

snapple21 · 19/08/2020 11:07

@Welliedays I want you to stay too.

I don't know if I can count today as day 1. I'm not having proper flow yet just spotting. Maybe my temp will drop tomorrow?

@candycrush2298 we will support each other!!

candycrush2298 · 19/08/2020 11:10

@snapple21 not yet count the day you have proper full blown bleeding as CD1. Spotting doesn't count.

Thank you!!! We can do it!!! No early testing hahaha

OP posts:
Welliedays · 19/08/2020 11:18

I need to hold out hope for a positive on a 'normal' sensitivity test!!

Boc86 · 19/08/2020 11:48

Definitely lie @Welliedays 🙈

candycrush2298 · 19/08/2020 12:00

@Welliedays do you have any normal sensitivity tests? Digitals require higher HCG. Or poundland/home bargains have normal 25miu if you dont have any yet

OP posts:
Welliedays · 19/08/2020 12:07

I have some normal ones @candycrush2298, I just don't know when I should test with one. I'm due AF tomorrow... So if I test on Sunday (all being well) do you think a normal one would be sensitive enough by then 🤔

candycrush2298 · 19/08/2020 12:12

@Welliedays yeah you would be few days late on your period so definitely should be able to pick it up by then

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 19/08/2020 13:08

Af has arrived. Early.

candycrush2298 · 19/08/2020 13:27

@NamechangeTTC sorry hun. At least now you know and you can be onto the next xx

OP posts:
Welliedays · 19/08/2020 13:41

Oh no @namechangettc at least you now know for sure
