Pps. Husband is still none the wiser.. I did not tell him this at all.. It would have put him off! 🙈

Welcome @Ladybird345, I'm breastfeeding too (although LO isn't actually that little anymore so hoping it's not affecting my fertility as my periods have been regular for over a year now)

@lucyrp wtf are your doctors playing at! So sorry for you, you just seem to be having setback after setback. I'm so hoping you get a break soon-you certainly deserve it.

@Maybe333 congratulations, wish I had the will power to stay off of social media and even to stop googling every bloody symptom 😂 I'm an original too-my seat on the bus must have a massive bum shaped dent in it I've been here for so long 😂

@Vil10 maybe some nice black and white photos in a white blocky frame to really contrast with the grey?

Nothing much to report-bit pissed off with OH as I don't feel like we dtd enough when he knew was my fertile time and it wasn't through my lack of trying. He's very much it will happen when it happens but I want to scream at him not if we don't have sex you fucking bell end 😂😂. I don't think he appreciates that we just got lucky with our daughter because I wasn't tracking or anything then and we fell so easily.
We dtd on CD 9, 11, 13 and 16 and I got my static smiley on CD15 so assuming I ovulated CD16 which was yesterday. Didn't manage to get one in today which pissed me off. But it is what is it.
Sorry for the moan, into another TWW feeling like another month where we haven't made the most of it.

Anyway. Hope everyone is ok and 🤞🏻 we start to all get some good news 😘😘

@Clairey844 that seems enough lovely, remember it only takes one of those little sperm 💛

@Maybe333 I remember you, congratulations!! That's an amazing line for so early hopefully it's sticky

@Maybe333 congratulations.
@lucyrp yes I keep seeing a lot of pregnancy announcements also but one day it will be our turn we just have to keep the faith although it’s super hard sometimes!

@Maybe333 congratulations! Was wondering where u went xx

I've been lurking a bit. All quiet here. After my strange day and a half period I tested with clear blue and got 2 cracker evap lines way after the time limit. Blue and thick but upon googling they are notorious for these. Feeling strangely relaxed this month but still in that boring phase waiting for fertile week x

@lucyrp I can't believe everything that's happened to u with the doctors etc. Absolute joke. Hopefully it all gets sorted asap and u get some answers. I cannot wait for the day u post ur bfp ❤❤ xxx

@Clairey844 that's deffo enough!! Good luck!

Morning ladies
& congratulations @Maybe333 that's a v strong line for 4pm wee @ 9dpo so likely after that point 🥰😍🥳such awesome news!!

Ha ha on the sex toy /dog toy thing, whattt you don't fancy tickling Fido with a tickle stick whilst DH/OH rubs your pussy with a prickly spiky hand rub thing 🤔😳you strange lot? We clearly need to get out more.

Not so awesome though @lucyrp. I'm fuming for you. Like WTAF? "Hi I'm here for my day 21 bloods...." what day...yeah 21. What for, oh I'll just take your blood then. VAMPIRE. No. Just no. Def complain, say it affected your mental health after a lovely birthday weekend break. Arse twats. So sorry lovely. However. If no AF then those lines could be waiting for you gorgeous. That announcement can be you.

@Ladybird345 hey! Welcome, don't worry, most of us don't have a clue what's going on with our bodies. I think that's clear 😂🤣

@Vil10 grey is great, do you have a headboard? What about 3 pictures above your bed, in gold or rose gold frames? Or one big one? To frame the middle space? Or above our spare bed we have 12 pics from our wedding in square frames in a square (actually our table decorations which is artwork drawn by my SIL) see pics, 3 for Inspo

@notyetamumbuttrying your body is a fuck boy messing you around for day 3 bloods too! Argh!

@Clairey844 I think those DTD days look good for OV on day 16, don't forget sperm can stay for 5 days!

Thanks for the support on the weekend away. It is what it is, 3.5 hours away trip booked. Meh. But we had nice date night last night & good sex. All with a condom on of course for us 😂🤣.

It's Friday ppl

Well I hate to say it but I'm CD32 and POAS this morning with an FRER and BFN 😶

@Minster2012 the nurses that have taken my blood both times have both been lovely, however the first one forgot to test for thyroid and the second lot did completely the wrong test! HOW! We were discussing thag it was to confirm ovulation ?! How has she got the wrong test ?! I just need to get the courage to ring up the surgery and ask for this specific woman now 🙈 I don't even know whag to say exactly do I just say like I've been TTC for 12 months, had a CP then an extremely messed up cycle and I finally got a fresh cycle for the correct test I need and they fuck it up?! So now I have to wait even longer basically another 2 months ?! Also you are so great for interior designer ideas I've been thinking about getting some of those for above our bed or in the living room although I have DS school pictures- one my side and one DS side above the bed 😂 is that weird ? 😂🤣🤷🏼‍♀️ my mum used to have mine so I feel like I just copied her 😂 glad you had lush sex! Even if it was with a condom😉

@Catherinettc yes those cb are known for Evaps I think I've probably had 4 in the last 6 months. Not great is it !
It really is horrendous I finally thought yess I'm getting the test I need was feeling very relaxed for this cycle I even rang for the blood results on my birthday because I thought nothing can stress me and now they didn't even do the right b**tard one! Thank you I'm excited for when you do too!❣️xxx

@Florence13 it is extremely hard!

@Clairey844 thank yoj ! Me too! Maybe after I complain it might help! 🤔

Hello ladies, well I tested and it's a stark white couldn't be more negative if it tried BFN this morning 🙄
@Clairey844 good to know someone else is BF too 😊 have you been tracking ovulation?
@lucyrp just read what's happened at the doctors and that's awful for you! Hope you manage to get booked in for your next cycle as it's the very least they can do for you 🤞
@Maybe333 congratulations! That's a great BFP!
@Minster2012 thank you for the welcome! I am definitely in the 'no clue what's going on' club lol. Cycle day 48 for me and only a day of faint positives just to trick me into thinking I could be pregnant then BFNs to follow just to confuse me even more 😂
Hope everyone has a good Friday and for anyone testing good luck!

@lucyrp really am sorry for the BFN but you definitely need to find the courage to ring and speak to them hun it is so unacceptable!

@Ladybird345 so sorry to hear about your BFN to but as already said I think a lot of us are in the no idea what our bodies are doing club! My AF showed up nearly a week early last cycle which really upset me.

@Minster2012 also loving those interior design ideas! I’m currently waiting to move house into a complete renovation job so always looking for ideas :)

@Ladybird345 the problem is I have no idea when my next cycle will be! I had a 72 day cycle last cycle because of a CP from the cycle before. The cycle I had my cp I had a couple of faint positives before having negatives and then a bleed at CD51 ish. I wasn't really tracking before then but I was 3 weeks late!

@Florence13 I just can't believe they got it wrong!

Oh no a BFN @lucyrp I'm sorry. No I wouldn't phone to complain cos then there's no audit trail. Always email. You can compose and rewrite and if you call you will get flustered & always have to follow up anyway. Always put in writing that way you can get help too. From us, from your friend you mentioned too. It's not weird at all about your DS pics don't be silly 😂

@notyetamumbuttrying ihhh amazing!! So glad it's been taken off the quarantine list and you can celebrate your anniversary abroad!! We had Morocco booked but changed it to Greece on the 22nd September but now there's talks of Greece going on the quarantine list😩 are your periods usually really regular and on time??

@Busybee143 I thought it was a popular choice😂 do you have wallpaper with it? Or just stuff on the wall?

@Clairey844 yeah I was thinking some black and white prints! Just need to find some that he doesn't think are too girly and I don't think are too masculine now!! Don't worry about not DTD enough, I'm sure you have and it only takes one time xx

@Minster2012 yeah our headboard is quite tall, light grey, I was thinking about prints above the bed or pictures of us in black and white in like a cluster! You have so many ideas I love it Thankyou! Also love the idea of the 3rd pic!! Glad you had a lovely date night last night and some good, protected sex, you go girl😂🍆💃🏽

@lucyrp so sorry about the bfn, but you get that complaint in to the doctors!!!

@lucyrp just spoke to another lady on MN who went in for her day 3 bloods and the nurse first said there's no such thing and then after speaking to another nurse said there's no point in taking day 3 if your day 21 was fine so refused to do it! Poor lady will have to call the gp again and rearrange in 2 months' time as she'll be away for the next day 3. I'd be so furious!

CD12 here and no sign of ovulation - if you don't count the six days of EWCM of course 😅

@vil10 we have some shelves and a really light lilac on another wall, it looks good

@lucyrp bloody hell thats crap! Sorry to hear you had a BFN. Fingers crossed that your cycle won't be as long for you, I can't believe how bad your doctors are considering they'll know what your cycles are like. I would definitely be taking the situation further, I know it won't give you any answers but at least it might stop this happening again 😕

@Maybe333 - congratulations

So sorry for the bfns this month I’m also def out as af has started in her full this morning. But start of a new cycle, let’s try again. It’s so hard after a mmc as I just hoped i would be extremely lucky and just catch again (wishful thinking) but never mind. Onwards and upwards ay x

@Minster2012 oh yes that's a good idea! Maybe il ring and give a brief overview and ask for her email to send a written complaint also ?

@Vil10 just to get the balls to ring now!😂

@Juno231 you'd have thought you'd know you were resting for ovulation on CD21 surely! The name is in the title! Ridiculous isn't it. I'm not getting stressed because I'm not getting pregnant anymore I'm just getting stressed because I don't know what's happening with my body so I can't do any of the right things to help it along. If I was having 30 day cycles and could pick up when ovulation was and could DTD on the right days I'd be happier as I'm in control of the situation but as it stands I have no control over anything!

Def follow up with an email @lucyrp otherwise it'll go no where & not get logged (but you will feel better!)

@Vil10 it sounds lovely!

@Runnergirl1 onwards & upwards & least it's still regular xxx

@Maybe333 congratulations!! Glad there's still BFPs for us old bus crew, was getting worried!

My boss from last year just told me him and his mrs are expecting and sent me the scan pics... I knew it was coming and had even tried to sneakily ask the other week but seeing those pics always hits me like a tonne of bricks. One of my friends sent his scan pic earlier this week and seeing it made me burst into tears :(

@Ladybird345 I've not been great at tracking ovulation but did temp one month, I keep an eye on my cm and I used the clear blue ovulation smiley face thing this month and it all seems to indicate I do ovulate around days 13-16 so pretty confident I am ovulating. I also had a missed miscarriage at the start of the year so have no reason to believe I'm not-just can't get pregnant again. I'm taking vitamin b6 which apparently helps regulate your cycle.
X

@Minster2012 yes it is! Had to cancel them now as period is not here today either! Had some brown spotting when I wiped so at least it's defo on its way! Happy Friday to you! Glad you keep getting that good sex 👌🏾
Thanks @Vil10 yeah we knew about Greece which is why we held off booking until yesterday. It's so hard to know what to do for the best and when during the fun that is Covid! Yep, I'm always regular and on time apart from one cycle where I was early. I'm either 24 or 26 days usually. I'm now day 27 so it's my longest cycle ever!

@Juno231 oh honey, sorry you got upset, understandable tho. I actually hate unsolicited scan pics, ppl have no idea what that can do to a woman! I'm going to be so mindful all the time now, you just never know what someone else might be going through.

Hi ladies, sorry I dropped off the face of the earth on all social media for a bit really - will have a proper catch up with the thread tomorrow!

@Juno231 it's so tough isn't it, bastard scan pics!

Has anyone else experienced a lot of cramping at 4dpo? Feel like AF cramps badly!
Sorry for all the insensitive and incompetent bastards @Juno231 @lucyrp

@Busybee143 isn't it a nice colour to go with so much!!

@Minster2012 Thankyou!!

@notyetamumbuttrying isn't it frustrating!! To be honest I should be happy I've managed to actually get a holiday in this year!! Hmm do you feel like at is gonna turn up??

@lucyrp have you rang them?

@Juno231 so sorry you're upset, the scan pics are the worst to make you feel sad when you're TTC!
