@candycrush2298 I am just sick of tww's. Urghh. Anyway need to focus on exams I have 350 hours of studying to do, and I've done nothing :(.

Maybe do some more research before you take this thing though. We don't want to mess anything up.

candycrush2298 · 10/08/2020 15:15

@Welliedays welcome. You are very fortunate to not be at the obssessive stage lol or tracking anything. I truly hope you get your BFP quickly and you never have to start tracking.

How far along are in the TWW?

Lol I think everyone of us have begged for one symptom or another to appear lol!!! Its just that we are looking for a sign before we can test lol!!!

And I am sorry to hear about your chemical hope you have a sticky bean this cycle!

@Elakiya argh you and me both. Truly am sick of these. Its literally more than half the year I am on TWWs and its bollocks so yeah totally with you on that.
I of course am still totally rooting that next week AF is going to be late so you can sneak a test lol!!!
I have and from what i have seen some it had messed with their cycles when they went overboard and took 200mg a day for the 5 days. But those that took 100mg that are on a regular cycle were totally fine. So I will take 2 and a half tablets a day think the tabs are 40mg so will make it 100mg thats what I will take. If it messes up my cycles then it messes up my cycles its not like I am getting pregnant anyway so a few months to regulate itself again won't be the end of the world. I will obviously be annoyed if it messes it up but there are far too many success stories not to try it. So if I don't try it I always wonder if I should you know.
So dont worry hun I know there are risks that my awesome short cycles might be ruined for a while but on the flip side I might have no cycles at all for a long while with a sticky bean.

😂 Thank you! I already feel like I want to be obsessed, but don't want to put the husband off... We've never had more sex than the last couple of months, and maybe if I obsessed he wouldn't be as keen 🤷🏼‍♀️ I did over test last month, so that might be a sign of what is to come (I've also kept the BFP as I keep questioning whether it actually happened, even if it didnt stick). I've been watching ava bracelets on ebay too... But I don't know if I want to pay the money yet.. Maybe if the next couple of cycles aren't successful... I am trying to keep postivie even though I know how hard it is for most people

NamechangeTTC · 10/08/2020 15:37

Welcome @Welliedays

Very tempted by the soy @candycrush2298 I might try those next cycle.

I’m so lost as trying to plan stuff with friends and the whole alcohol thing is a challenge. I’m a drunk!

candycrush2298 · 10/08/2020 15:50

@Welliedays lol!!! Its better if you are not obssessed trust me it drives you mental hahaha.
Let's hope this is your cycle and you don't have to get to that stage lol.
Yeah I was thinking of Tempdrop or Ava but I just dont want to spend the money I have forked out a bucket load of money this year alone so dont want too.

@NamechangeTTC I know after @Elakiya mentioned this morning I was trolling old forums reading what people said about it and its really convinced me.

Lol drink till you see pink once you have missed your period and you test and its positive then you stop drinking you don't have to right now.

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 10/08/2020 16:51

I’ve freaked myself out reading about alcohol impacting implantation @candycrush2298 so I’m behaving for now.

Sore boobs today. Not sure if this is normal in my cycles!

candycrush2298 · 10/08/2020 17:04

@NamechangeTTC I am not sure what the statistics are for having a drink at like 1 week pregnant lol and you not pregnant until implantation lol

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 10/08/2020 17:05

I’m more worried that I’ll impact on implantation then blame myself if the month hasn’t worked. Will see! Will text on Friday as have some drinks planned that night

Welliedays · 10/08/2020 17:05

@candycrush2298 😂 I'm from Yorkshire which is probably why I'm not totally obsessed yet as I can't justify the price of the tests 😂😂 and that's why I've not bought an ava bracelet either 🙈 to be fair, looking at the prices on ebay I reckon you'd easily sell on again, but I still can't justify it when I've just paid for a wedding 🙄

Hopefully we'll all get BPF soon.

I've just been feeling light headed so come for a snack, which is not like me (I should say the snacking is, feeling light headed isn't!!)

candycrush2298 · 10/08/2020 17:58

@NamechangeTTC thats good you will just have to plan your drinking nights with the girls around test days lol!!! They won't know 🤣🤣🤣 I don't drink so dont have that worry as everyone already knows I dont so won't look strange lol!!

@Welliedays thats why there are Internet cheapies 🤣🤣🤣 ebay lets you do your hearts content lol. Yes definitely dont think you would have an issue reselling and getting most of the money back thats what intend to do with the Clearblue advanced fertility monitor when I am done with it lol🤣🤣🤣

Let's hope lightheaded is a symptom for yoh

OP posts:
Welliedays · 10/08/2020 19:47

@namechangettc I have the same issue around arranging drinking days... I'm trying not to drink at the moment at all (except my wedding day the other week) but it's hard. It's not too bad at home as I can get round that quite easily and tbf we haven't been out recently anyway!

Welliedays · 10/08/2020 19:49

@candycrush2298 I read somewhere that you have to be careful buying the ones on ebay/amazon as they sometimes aren't stored right before they get to you so can mess up the result... But I don't know if that's right or not 🤔 I also stress they'd come in packaging saying what they are as my MIL gets my post.. But I think that's just me being paranoid 😂

candycrush2298 · 10/08/2020 20:00

@Welliedays girrrrrrllllll!!! You gotta Google 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cheapies are what most serial testers use and once they get a positive on a cheap test then they use the expensive ones like FRER or CB digital. As long as the test is 10miu as that's the most sensitive test and they packaging never says what it is I have bought 100s and 100s of the last 2 years and never had one that says "PREGNANCY TESTS"

Sigh..... I wish I was still new to this. Super jealous lol

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 10/08/2020 20:01

there's also other cheapies like Home Bargains or Poundland if you scared of the mail man. Lol so many options🤣🤣🤣

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 10/08/2020 20:25

Any cheapies that work at 10 recommended @candycrush2298 I have a lot of FRER poised and the femometer ones which are 20. I hear femometer are shit ones

Welliedays · 10/08/2020 20:26

@candycrush2298 that will be me in a few months, at least you're further down the road than me and hopefully closer to your positive!! After spending so many years trying to avoid getting pregnant, now trying to do the the opposite is very odd (my body doesn't get on with contraception so we have been relying on condoms for a very long time)

candycrush2298 · 10/08/2020 20:31

@NamechangeTTC I am really loving the easy@home tests (both opks and pg tests are 10miu) Wondfo is also really good and Clinical Guard (these are all on Amazon) been through so many on ebay but they are just thin and horrible the one pregnancy test I did like from ebay was Baby Mad. They are good quality.

@Welliedays you don't know you may be one of those lucky ones that just conceive really quickly. And yes I imagine its awkward with him messing inside you. I havent been on contraceptives since I was a teenager. Hubby and I fluctuated between condoms and the good old pull out method lol!!

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 10/08/2020 20:35

I fully understand @Welliedays we’ve been together 4.5 years and always used condoms. The ick is real. Some folk suggested a menstrual cup to keep it in there after. I’m not a fan of a wet patch. Sorry TMI!

Thanks @candycrush2298 I’ll look. Some cheapies that are sensitive I can justify!

NamechangeTTC · 10/08/2020 20:36

I’m extremely short sighted and keep seeing congratulations posts on things I think are 100% negative. I will need help! It’s ridiculous I can never ever see lines!

candycrush2298 · 10/08/2020 20:40

@NamechangeTTC you're welcome i think the ebay baby mad will be the cheapest but don't think they are the best. The amazon ones above are better in my opinion. Of course I have never gotten a positive pregnancy test hahaah so I base my decision on evaps, indents width and the feel of it hahahaha.

Lol I have gotten pretty good at them 🤣🤣🤣🤣

candycrush2298 · 10/08/2020 21:29

@Elakiya I have just spent the last hour reading this 22page thread of BFPs people with regular cycles, irregular cycles, pcos, healthy you name it people have taken it and mostly it worked 1st cycle but for some it took up to 5 cycles using it and got their bfp. Thank you so much for the recommendation I am super excited for this cycle now 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@candycrush2298 Thanks for sharing that thread too so many positives. I’ll be doing it too. Have you got yours when are you taking them and what dose? Do you think we should ask our doctors

candycrush2298 · 10/08/2020 21:44

@Elakiya I am not asking my doctor just going to dive in. Its not a scientific thing they will just dismiss it like maca root and all that jazz lol.

Hubby got them on the way home the Tesco brand and I tried breaking it in half which caused a huge mess hahahaha (dont have a tablet cutter as I have never taken so many pills in my life lol!!!) Soooooooo I am going to take 120mg (3 tablets) right before I go and sleep as I have seen many people said they took it then to avoid side effects. And I will take the same dose for 5 days straight I won't increase my dose I have seen others start at 80mg and end at 200mg but will just flatline it and go for 120mg for full 5days lol.

Elakiya · 10/08/2020 21:50

@candycrush2298 I am very excited to see how it goes for you. Maybe this is just what you need it a natural way of producing stronger healthier and more eggs 😁 can’t wait to see that new BFP. Here’s to the May baby 😁

Elakiya · 10/08/2020 21:50

@candycrush2298 you have really cheered me up thank you very much. I was a right mess and you’ve helped massively
