Flofloo1 · 17/08/2020 17:28

@MrsEmilyB that’s wonderful news, massive congrats 🥳

notyetamumbuttrying · 17/08/2020 19:26

@Katao aww whose told you that then? Mine came back fine so don't really get what's up now! Could be hubs or could be nothing. He has his SA on Thursday. I'm booked in for day 3's on Friday so we'll see if they show anything abnormal...I don't think they will as regular periods etc, really hope his sperm is ok and it's just taking time for us.
Hey @SmileyT how exciting, not long to go at all now! My sister just told me that her mucus plug had gone so Labour is imminent now 😬
@Busybee143 ooh you can see a line without even clicking on pic!! Congrats 🥳

I got my nails done too ladies, will take a pic in a sec.

Katao · 17/08/2020 19:45

@notyetamumbuttrying I went to the GP about my periods being very irregular and she said she doesn't think I've ovulated the last couple of cycles so she wants to do bloods. I was thinking the same as I have been doing opks for 4 cycles and have got mixed results, no peak one cycle, multiple peaks another so I wasn't very confident things were happening as they should. So we will see. Glad yours came back fine and that OH is getting checked.

notyetamumbuttrying · 17/08/2020 20:01

Ah I see @Katao! Thing is I've ovulated every single time and still nothing so if it's not his sperm perhaps my tubes are blocked?! Really need that scan next. We're hopefully on hol next week so will look into a clinic for September.
Here's my nails, no pattern but very shiny! @2alreadywantanother @lucyrp

notyetamumbuttrying · 17/08/2020 20:03

Oh you can only see one nail without going into the pic 😂 here's a better one! I think 🙈

@lucyrp Penblwydd Hapus! I was in Rhayader today visoyting a farmer 😁

Juno231 · 17/08/2020 20:30

@katao have you been temping as well?

LaceyMermaid · 17/08/2020 21:14

Ladies, would those of you who do opks day CB are better? Driving myself mad here with no peak and constant faint lines on cheapies.

Katao · 17/08/2020 21:40

@notyetamumbuttrying I know what youmean, you don't want something to be wrong but then again you want to know what the hold up is! In fairness we haven't been trying too long this time but my cycle is allnover the place so I dont want to just wsit it out. Your nails are lovely, your ring is gorgeous!
@Juno231 no haven't been temping so I'm not really sure when I did or didn't ovulate. I think i did last cycle as the peak opk and luteal phase added up to when af arrived but dont think I ovulated the cycle before or maybe even 2 before.

notyetamumbuttrying · 17/08/2020 21:44

@Katao oh are you ttc no 2 then? Hope it doesn't take too long for you! Aww thank you 😊 our 1st anniversary in one week 🥰

@LaceyMermaid yeah the CB digital's, either the pink or purple ones. Pink does 2 days of most fertile and goes straight to smiley when peak or the purple does 4 most fertile days and flashes smiley and then static when peak. No guessing then!

LaceyMermaid · 17/08/2020 21:46

Thank you @notyetamumbuttrying I’ll order some! I feel like the constant guessing is stressful!

Catherinettc · 17/08/2020 21:56

Foes anyone ever start to get cold feet? I dont know if hormones all over the place or something but I start thinking am I doing the right thing having another?

I'm just freaking out a bit I think now that schools are going back and my youngest is going into 2nd year , the other 2 are leaving school (one to college and one moving to Liverpool for uni)

Feel like my emotions are all over the place 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ x

mumof23188 · 17/08/2020 21:58

Beautiful nails😍 @notyetamumbuttrying I’d love to get mine done. Not had mine done in years! I try and paint mine when I get a chance but they never last long before chipping!

notyetamumbuttrying · 17/08/2020 22:11

@LaceyMermaid you'll much prefer them I reckon.
@mumof23188 aww thank you. That's why I always get shellac, they don't tend to chip as much.
@Catherinettc not me as I'm on my first but i'd imagine others in a similar position to you must go through the same worries and emotions. Hope it passes and that you feel better soon.

Catherinettc · 17/08/2020 22:19

Thanks @notyetamumbuttrying I think im just a bit anxious. Tbh I've panicked at every positive test even though all my children were planned 🤦‍♀️🤣

I'm naturally a panicker 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ xx

lucyrp · 17/08/2020 22:22

@blodyn91 diolch! Ooo that's interesting. We were very close then 👀

Thank you to everyone who's sent me birthday wishes 🥰

LaceyMermaid · 17/08/2020 22:35

@Catherinettc I do get like that 100% but wonder if it’s because of our situation. I’m Very similar to you, older kids and people must think I’m mad and sometimes I do have moment where I think what am I doing! But it doesn’t stop me TTC so I know I must want to do it! Plus I’m not sure it’ll even happen so not going to worry too much about it. I don’t think you ever regret a child personally.

LaceyMermaid · 17/08/2020 22:37

@notyetamumbuttrying thanks I’m slowly going mad here so I hope so! Convincing myself I’m not oving but could just be cheapies messing me about so hopefully CB will give me some clarity.

Catherinettc · 17/08/2020 22:43

@LaceyMermaid 100% know what you mean. I get all excited and pray for a positive every time I do a test so obviously its what I want. I think sometimes I just panic at the commitment 🤣🤣
Not to mention the number of people asking if I'm crazy and should be enjoying my 'freedom ' now.

Seems to be at the same kinda time every month so must be a hormone thing xx

LaceyMermaid · 17/08/2020 22:50

@Catherinettc oh god yes enjoying your ‘freedom’! That’s a classic 🙄 I think it’s just natural to worry a bit!

mumof23188 · 17/08/2020 23:21

Love the colour @notyetamumbuttrying 😍. Yes my mum gets hers done with shellac and they last ages!

@Catherinettc I totally understand what you mean. When I say to friends that I would love another baby they think I’m crazy. Then sometimes I think do I really want to do it again but I most definitely do 😍

Juno231 · 18/08/2020 09:48

@notyetamumbuttrying love your nails! I had mine done 12 days ago and they only lasted a week before one started snagging and the whole thing came off so I had to get the others removed too! Shellac :/

CD9 here and I'm on my THIRD day of EWCM already! OPKs are blank though so god knows what's going on. Although I'm glad they are as I would not want to ovulate before CD12 really!

OP posts:
notyetamumbuttrying · 18/08/2020 10:05

@Catherinettc I'm very similar. Always anxious!
@LaceyMermaid bless you, so tough this isn't it. I'm sure they will!
@mumof23188 thank you! You should try shellac, you'll never go back lol
@Juno231 yeah that is the downside to them. Basically a whole nail comes away doesn't it lol! I'm hoping because mine are so short that they won't catch on anything.

So 12dpo and I didn't poas, that's the longest I've gone in 3 months! 🥳 going to try waiting it out now as fed up of wasting money on frer's!
